The overall collapse of the Qing army's large forces almost began when Duoduo ordered the troops to arrive in the front.

As soon as the Qing army's reserve team rushed to the front to fight with the heroes, they felt that something was wrong behind them. The drums were no longer blowing and the trumpets were no longer ringing. When they looked back, Duoduo's commanding flag had already been put down, and the entire army was running back.

There was still bloody battle in front, and there was a retreat from behind. This was too unkind. The Eight Banners soldiers are now integrated with military and political affairs. In other words, Niulu Zhangjing's subordinates are all relatives and neighbors of their tribes. Some even spent a lot of money to increase their strength, even the coat slaves in their families brought them together.

Others can ignore it, but they must be responsible for their Niulu. Following military orders and going to fight to kill the enemy will naturally have nothing to say, but they cannot fight such a desperate battle.

Several Niu Lu Zhangjing from the reserve team looked at each other and didn't let the men hold on in front. With a command, they turned their horses and lost behind them.

The heroes were suppressed and beaten for a day. When they saw the Qing army defeated, they naturally chased them closely behind.

Now these reserve teams that fell to the final have been repaired for a whole day, and most of them are cavalry and have sufficient horsepower.

At this time, let go of the horse and run back, and the benefits of abundant horsepower were immediately shown. Although it was the last one to run, it caught up with the infantry running in front of him in a short while.

When the two armies faced each other, the most casualties occurred when they ran away. In order not to be caught by the heroes, the cavalry behind naturally tried their best to activate their horsepower, and they could not care about who was ahead. Just rush over. When escaping, you may not have to run past the enemy. As long as you can run past your companions, it is victory.

In an instant, the Qing army's rear team was in chaos, and was trampled to death by the cavalry running up from behind, and was chased by the heroes and killed by random swords. In a short period of time, the number of deaths of the Qing army soared sharply.

At the city gate of the east gate of Tongguan, the retreating Qing army was blocked into a group. Tens of thousands of people were in a hurry to leave the city, and the city gate was only ten feet wide, so naturally no one could get out.

Duoduo's personal soldiers were anxious and pulled out their waists and shouted in Manchu: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, let Prince Yu go first, death does not belong to the Qing nobles!"

The retreating Qing soldiers heard that Prince Yu was behind and wanted to get out of the way, but they were crowded together for a while, but they could move at all?

Duoduo's personal soldiers naturally didn't care about those. They didn't give way to the people in front of them, nor did they have any affection for their subordinates. They didn't care about who was ahead or what kind of official title they had. They just swayed their swords and slashed them. No matter how big they were, they wouldn't be bigger than Prince Yu.

As the personal soldiers passed by, the wailing sounds formed. After a while, they cut open a bloody road at the city gate.

When Duoduo saw the city gate open, he didn't say much, and Tima rushed out of the east gate of Tongguan.

At this time, outside the east gate of Tongguan, there were shouts of killing, neighing horses, and collisions of weapons.

The Dashun Army led by Ma Shiyao had divided Duoduo's back team into two large pieces, blocking Duoduo's way back.

Duoduo's eyes were red, no longer concerned about casualties, and asked his personal guards to organize cavalry to launch a charge against the Dashun Army, which blocked the way home.

You should know that although the Qing Dynasty is known as the Later Jin Dynasty, it is actually completely different from the Jin Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty, and its combat methods are also very different.

The most elite of the Jin army in the Southern Song Dynasty was Tiefutu. The cavalry, even the men and horses, were wearing heavy armor, and protected them from head to feet. They were mainly used in cluster charges. They were considered as a prototype of the fence-mounted charge tactic.

But in the Qing Dynasty, I prefer the method of light cavalry plundering formations, which is commonly known as the cavalry angular cutting tactic. I only plunder and kill at the corners of the opponent's formation, never fight, and go with one blow. Maintaining the advantage of speed, I use the method of cavalry and shooting to defeat the enemy from afar.

Only when cavalry attacks are forced to attack, will the cavalry attack the opponent's large formation be allowed. Even so, they will have to wait until the opponent's formation is weak or retreating before they are willing to let the cavalry charge.

Of course, this does not mean that hundreds of years later, the Qing cavalry's combat methods made a qualitative leap, which was more skillful than the tactics of the Great Jin Kingdom.

In fact, just in terms of combat power, with the same force, the cavalry of the Qing army may not be able to surpass the Tiefutu of the Great Jin Dynasty back then.

What tactics are used is mainly determined by each other's family strength. The Great Jin Kingdom destroyed the Liao Kingdom, captured gold and silver, and gained countless war horses, and each one was rich. So they dared to let the cavalry charge. To put it bluntly, it was because I had money and could afford to die.

But the Qing army is completely incomparable to the Great Jin Kingdom back then. After less than a year of entering the pass, all the soldiers in total were only 200,000, which can be said to be miserable.

One thing can show how poor the Qing Dynasty was at this time.

Just two months ago, Dorgon's brother Ajige, commander of the Western Route Army, was ordered to detour through Mongolia and attack the Dashun Army from Yulin.

As a result, just to ask for some money, Ajige even delayed the time, and ignored the main business of attacking the Dashun Army. At the risk of violating military orders, he led tens of thousands of troops around Ordos, and Tumot went around a whole circle. Finally, he successfully blackmailed two thousand war horses from the local tribes.

This shows the demand and cherishment of war horses in the Qing Dynasty.

Now Ma Shiyao's troops are piled thickly in a group. Even if the cavalry charges, they can only break through two or three levels, and then they will fall into a heavy battle formation.

Once these precious cavalry lose their speed advantage and are trapped in the military formation and unable to move, there will be a large number of casualties.

But now at the moment of life and death, Duoduo did not care about the cavalry and gritted his teeth and ordered the cavalry around him to attack Ma Shiyao's thick formation.

Ma Shiyao knew that Duoduo was going to run, so he hurriedly dispatched troops to intercept him. Unfortunately, the Qing cavalry was indeed powerful, and the Qing army also fought for his life to escape. Finally, after countless cavalry were killed and injured, Ma Shiyao's formation was broken open by the Qing army.

Seeing that the defeat was decided, Duoduo could not take care of other troops. He only led his own personal guards and fled along the gap that was broken by the cavalry, and headed straight for his camp.

......

Duoduo's camp was twenty miles away from the east gate of Tongguan. This morning, Duoduo took King Huaishun Geng Zhongming to Tongguan City to receive surrender, leaving King Gongshun Kong Youde to guard the camp.

A few days ago, Duoduo and Li Zicheng fought outside Tongguan City. Because Li Zicheng was threatened by the Ajige army in the north, he was eager to fight to the decisive battle. He has been leading his troops to attack Duoduo's camp. Duoduo has fought for so many years and has rarely adopted a defensive move.

It was not until the red-clothed cannons were transported over from the back that the Qing army turned from defense to attack. Kong Youde's artillery troops were really glorious and defeated Li Zicheng's army step by step.

Because he had the ability to use artillery, Kong Youde did not go there when he was surrendered to Tongguan this time. He stayed to guard the Qing army camp.

Kong Youde had no doubt about Ma Shiyao's expiration city. The reports of countless provocates proved that Li Zicheng's large army had already withdrawn from Tongguan. Now, what tricks can Ma Shiyao's thousands of people in Tongguan city come out?

When Duoduo led his troops out of the camp early in the morning, Kong Youde was the highest commander in the camp. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the left and right, he asked his personal soldiers to find a few jars of wine and drink and have fun in his tent.

Although the Qing army banned alcohol, the victory was imminent. Kong Youde's heart, which had been tense for many days, was suddenly relieved, so he naturally wanted to celebrate.

Tongguan is the last line of defense in Xi'an City (Note 1). Li Zicheng did not take advantage of Duoduo by relying on natural dangers. Now that he has broken through Tongguan, there is a fertile plain of hundreds of miles behind, and there is no danger to defend at all.

In addition, Ajige's Western Route Army immediately attacked near Xi'an. Under the attack of the two armies, Li Zicheng would not have the slightest chance of winning.

After defeating Xi'an, the Qing Dynasty occupied half of the country. As for the land in the south of the Yangtze River, the Ming army was even weaker. It is unknown whether the edict was issued.

When I was in the bitter and cold land of the Northeast, it was of course meaningless to hold thousands of people in my hand to be a prince of the Qing Dynasty. But now if the Qing Dynasty really gained a country, then I would be a legitimate king of a different surname!

A king of a different surname in the Central Plains!

Even if you read the history books, there are only a handful of people who can live to be named kings of another surname for thousands of years. So what about Xu Da and Chang Yuchun of the Ming Dynasty? They were also the throne that was posthumously conferred after their death. Compared to me, Kong Youde, I am afraid that it is a little worse.

The more Kong Youde thought about it, the more proud he became. He couldn't help drinking in the tent. As the saying goes: If the superiors like each other, the subordinates will have the greatest advantage.

Kong Youde's subordinates naturally relaxed when they saw the prince drinking in the tent.

The soldiers who are active in the camp will dismantle the horse-resisting horses, arrow towers, etc., and loosen the wooden boards and timbers and pack gunpowder equipment to prevent them from being in a hurry when they are pulled out.

Everyone was waiting for the prince's order to enter Tongguan City.

During the day, there were occasional reports of some sentry attackers saying that the city wall of Tongguan was broken, but there was still some resistance in Tongguan. I heard that some heroes from the market were resisting.

Kong Youyou has a wide range of virtues and knows that the so-called people from the world and the heroes of the city are just embers. They are not worth mentioning at all, so they didn't take it to heart at all.

But at night, the storm suddenly changed, and there were shouts of killing outside the east gate of Tongguan, and gongs and drums were heard. In a short while, the whistle detective heard the news of the defeat of Duoduo's army.

Kong Youde drank a lot of wine, and was immediately frightened when he heard the news. He immediately asked his personal soldiers to call cold water and poured several buckets of water on his face. He felt that he was a little awake, so he swayed to the wall of Yingzha and watched in the direction of Tongguan.

In the night sky, a fire dragon composed of countless torches was from far away, which was Duoduo's defeated army. Behind this fire dragon, countless torches were followed, and they kept chasing them.

When Kong Youde saw that Dodo's troops had arrived near the camp, he hurriedly asked his soldiers to open the camp gate.

A personal soldier next to him pointed at the pursuers behind the Fire Dragon and said, "Prince, this camp gate cannot be opened. The enemy behind him chased after him. If the camp gate is opened, the camp will probably be out of stock!"

Kong Youde kicked the soldier and staggered, cursing: "Fuck, see clearly that the one running in front is Prince Yu! How many heads do you dare not open the door for Prince Yu?"

After saying that, while ordering the camp gate, elite troops were arranged to resist the pursuit.

Although Kong Youde was drunk, he knew in his heart that he was now receiving the salary from the Qing Dynasty and the job of the Qing Dynasty. If the regent's younger brother Duoduo really had any conflicts, he would never be able to afford it.

Furthermore, Kong Youde was also a man who had experienced a lot of battle formations. As soon as he saw that although the pursuers looked powerful, their formation was scattered and the team was dragged very long.

With his personal soldiers, he is fully capable of blocking the pursuers in front. As long as he can withstand the first wave of enemy offensives, he can rest assured after closing the camp gate.

A few days ago, in order to resist the revolving attacks of Li Zicheng's central camp, the large camp was built extremely steadily, and his Wuzhen Chaoha troops were the best at fighting this kind of defensive battle. overnight, the enemy would definitely not carry too many siege equipment. If I just defended the large camp, I would still be somewhat sure.

But he ignored one thing, that is, as the commander who has experienced many battles and commands the overall situation, he naturally could see clearly and think clearly while climbing up and looking at him. He had no fear in his heart.

But in the dark, the soldiers didn't know how many enemies there were, what the offensive was, and what the situation was like?

No matter which dynasty or dynasty, in order to prevent the whistlebrating of the camp, the management of the night military camp is the most strict. "Those who exchange seats and those who run around are killed", "Those who call for running for no reason are killed", "Those who call for soldiers when attacking are killed"... There are many, and it can be said that almost a slight violation is a severe punishment for beheading.

During the day, Prince Yu Duoduo took tens of thousands of Qing troops to Tongguan to receive surrender, and the soldiers and military academy in the camp could see clearly.

As a result, after a day, not only did there not be any news of regaining Tongguan, but the news was frequent. At night, outside the camp was even more excited. Even if you were sitting in the camp, you could hear the shouts of killing coming from the direction of Tongguan.

What's worse is that the shouts of killing are getting stronger and stronger. At this time, anyone with a little brain can no longer sit still in their own tents.

The soldiers from their respective tents gathered at the door of the tent to peek at the movements outside, but did not dare to speak loudly between them. Under the depression, the entire camp was even more covered in a panic atmosphere.

Now the Qing army camp only has two thousand direct troops brought by Kong Youde from the pass, and the others are newly surrendered Han army.

The reason why these Han troops who shaved their hair and surrendered without hesitation in surrendering to the Qing Dynasty was that the Qing army was powerful and could be popular and drink spicy food after following the Manchu uncle.

But if even the tens of thousands of Qing troops, which were claimed to be invincible, were defeated by the city of Tongguan, then what strength each of them was the Han troops? Others don’t know, don’t you know it?

Every Han army secretly thought in their minds: Can this camp still be defended tonight?

If Kong Youde was not drunk, he might still think of sending his confidants to tent to comfort the morale of the army, who was already in a state of turmoil.

But he was drunk and his head was now drowsy. It was good to think about how to send troops to welcome Prince Yu and stop the pursuers. He completely ignored the depressed atmosphere in the camp and the fear of the soldiers of the Han army.

Sure enough, just as most of the soldiers in the camp expected the worst situation. As the camp gate opened, countless enemies followed Duoduo's defeated army and rushed into the camp in a swarm.

When Kong Youde's elite soldiers saw the enemy entering the camp, they hurriedly lined up to surround the enemy troops rushing into the camp.

However, before the personal troops in front could fight with the enemy, they heard a "buzz" sound from the back camp.

The camp roared!

But it turned out that the Han army in the camp had already reached its lowest point in the darkness. At this time, the enemy had rushed straight into the camp. They could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts.

With the shouts and howling of "The camp is bombed, the camp is bombed", fear spreads ten in one place, and ten in one place.

Almost in an instant, the entire Qing army camp was shrouded in screaming and slashing sounds.

In the camp, people and figures were scattered and fires were rising.
To be continued...
