On November 9th (November 20), the Qing army camp in Penglai County, Shandong Province.

After hearing the messenger's words, Haoge's face stopped, then he widened his eyes and looked at the person coming.

"Prince Su, I dare not lie." The Eight Banners Armored Cavalry said hurriedly: "The other party did come with dozens of large and large ships, including more than a dozen large gunboats. The enemy troops raided Ye County should have no less than thousands of people. The slaves who took the order quickly came to report the message and asked the general to send troops to rescue him. If they came too late, they might be defeated by the enemy!"

"Huai Taqi has led more than a thousand troops, can't he guard for five or six days?" Luo Luo said angrily.

The news reported that the Akar Nono did not dare to speak, and knelt on the ground, waiting for Haoge to make a decision.

"Master, I will bring a thousand Eight Banners Armored Cavalry back to Ye County, and I will definitely be able to defeat the enemy who was attacking!" Luo Luohun said loudly: "The Ming army is weak, so naturally there will not be too many troops. They mobilized boats to raid the heavy food and grass areas of our Ye County, and the number of people must be only one or two thousand. This move is to force our army to return without success to relieve the danger of Penglai. The servant of Huaitaqi led more than a thousand troops. Even if he could not retreat to the enemy, he would definitely be able to defend the city. At the very least, he could support five or six days. I will run back quickly with my armored cavalry, attacking inside and outside, and I will definitely be able to defeat the enemy and remove the food and grass and the army."

Haoge pondered silently and looked at Li Lutai, Geng Zhongming and others.

"Master General, please withdraw." Li Rutai said in a deep voice: "Since the enemy dares to send boats to detour our army and raid Ye County, it must be a long-standing calculation. If one is not careful and is attacked by the enemy, our army may be in an unexpected danger. Now, there are only three or five days left in the camp, and we cannot last long!"

"I have a 30,000 army, and I have been on an expedition, but now I have returned in vain and have lost thousands of troops, which has reduced my reputation as a Qing Dynasty. When the regent heard that, he will definitely punish us severely." Luo Luohun said: "Why would my army pretend to withdraw, the Ming army in Penglai County will definitely come to pursue. Our army set up an ambush on the important roads in the mountains, attacked and pursued the Ming army in one fell swoop, then turned around and seized Penglai, captured the prince, and pacified Dengzhou. Then, our army returned and captured Ye County."

When Haoge heard this, he felt a little moved. If he really followed Luo Luohun's idea, he could take this opportunity to seize Penglai and pacify Dengzhou. Even if he lost Ye County and lost food and grass, it would be worth it.

"Prince Yanxi, if the Ming army in Penglai City does not come to pursue, how should our army deal with it?" Geng Zhongming clasped his fists and said, "In this way, our army may waste a day's retreat time in vain. At that time, most of the soldiers could not support Ye County. What's worse is that if Ye County was also captured by the enemy, we had to retreat all the way back to Qingzhou, which would be more than ten days. If this were the case, the servants would be afraid..."

After hearing this, Haoge's heart skipped a beat. He calmed down Denglai and returned without success. The contribution of Jingping Shandong in front of him was nothing more than asking Dorgon to issue an order to reprimand him. The worst result was to reduce his title and fine him. But if he lost his troops and lost his territory, or even the entire army was wiped out, he might have taken the opportunity to kill him.

"Beat the drum and gather the generals!" Haoge turned around and ordered: "Prepare the entire army to attack Penglai again!"

"Master!..."

"Prince Su!..."

Luo Luohun, Li Rutai, Geng Zhongming and others were shocked and came forward to persuade him again. Since we did not withdraw our troops, we could not assemble a large army to attack the city again! Since the artillery battle was defeated a few days ago, the Qing army has only organized small-scale troops to attack the city every day, maintaining continuous pressure on Penglai County. Now after hearing that Haoge actually ordered the entire army to attack the city. Isn’t this waste of troops in vain?

"Since there is not much food, it is better to let the surrendered troops try to attack again. It is naturally the best to be able to break the city. If you cannot make achievements, you can save thousands of mouths." Haoge said coldly: "Li Lutai, Geng Zhongming, you two immediately return to the camp to pack up and prepare to withdraw back to Ye County. Luo Luohun, you will lead all the armored cavalry in the rear formation of the surrendered troops and supervise them to attack Penglai!"

"Yeah!"

"Yeah!"

"Yeah!..."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..." On the main city of Penglai County and the castles in the sudden front, artillery fired various shells desperately, and wadeed countless bloody paths in the dense crowd of Jiannu chargers. The hands were broken and the internal organs flowed. The shouts, crying, cursing, the roar of artillery, and the sound of musket shooting were heard.

After several days of battle, the Ming army defending the city seemed to have slowly adapted to the battlefield environment. In front of Jiannu who was swarming in Jiannu, he could control various weapons and desperately harvest the lives of the enemy according to the officer's orders. Jiannu's offensive wave after wave, as if the waves in the sea, trying to smash and push away the reefs that hindered it. However, the hard reefs as hard as iron remained motionless in the surging waves, and still smashed waves of waves to pieces.

Human life seems to have become a grain of dust between heaven and earth at this moment. With the fluttering snowflakes, they are silent in the soil. Gradually, a red color appears on the ground, dyeing the originally turbid snow water into a dazzling bright red. Teams of lost soldiers fleeing back desperately. The officers supervising the formation took their servants to slash their escaped soldiers one by one. When the escaped soldiers gather more and more, the depressed officers could only helplessly follow the defeated soldiers and flee back to the formation.

Luo Luohun rode on the horse, stretched out his hand and waved forward expressionlessly, ordering the next wave of surrendered troops to continue attacking. Prince Su was right, killing thousands more people would save me more words from the Eight Banners soldiers. Although he was not very convinced that the Ming army would break through Ye County in a very short time, it was also very necessary to consume the strength of these surrendered troops. Anyway, it was them, the Han people fighting each other, which was not at all for our Eight Banners officers and soldiers. At the same time, seeing countless former Ming officers bravely attacking the city under my Eight Banners, he also gained an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in his heart.

These Nikans deserve to die! If they had known that they had fought so hard, why would they be driven by the Qing Dynasty now? The Ming Dynasty's painting country might have really been occupied by the Qing Dynasty as the Regent said.

With Li Zicheng's rapid defeat and the capital, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi and other places surrendered, the Qing rulers, dominated by Dorgon, began to develop the ambition to occupy the entire Ming Dynasty.

On the seventh day of the fourth month, when Dorgon sent troops to attack the Ming Dynasty, he commanded two-thirds of the Mongolian soldiers in Manchu and three kings including Gongshun of the Han army. He had a total of more than 80,000 troops, almost two-thirds of the entire Qing Dynasty's troops.

In August, the Emperor of Qing entered the pass, entered Beijing, and collected all the troops in the country. He also conscripted Heilongjiang, Yusie Kingdom (now the area of ​​Sakhalin Island) and brought tens of thousands of troops into the pass, which led to the unprecedented strengthening of the Qing army and preparing to begin to destroy all forces in the Ming Dynasty, and took this country.

Gu Long

This time, the Ming army in Dengzhou was not defeated, which would be fine for the entire situation in the Qing Dynasty. At worst, next time, we will bring more troops and more food and grass. We still don’t believe that we can’t take this small Penglai County.

After hearing the whisper of deputy general Ge Jie, Wang Guodong, general of Linqing, turned back in shock to Luo Luohun, who was supervising the formation behind him.

"Are you sure?" Wang Guodong asked in a deep voice: "Is it not to gather troops and attack other places?"

"Confirm." Ge Jie showed a look of anger on his face, "The Eight Banners Han Army is already packing their luggage, and they may be able to withdraw the camp at any time... and we have never heard of Prince Su's order to attack another place. They are preparing... to run away!"

"It's my uncle!" Wang Guodong cursed softly, "It must be something happened to our retreat, which made the Eight Banners officers and soldiers prepare to retreat first."

"Sir, then we..." Ge Jie turned around and looked at the battlefield like a flesh-and-mill behind him, and said with lingering fear: "The Eight Banners Army would not let us stay and die on purpose, but they took advantage of the situation and turned around and escaped!"

"Damn it, I'm going to die together!" Wang Guodong pulled Ge Jie to his side, whispering something with his ears, and a hint of ferociousness appeared on his face.

In Binzhou Town, which was taking turns to attack the cities, the Qing army officers and soldiers of Dezhou Town suddenly began to turn around and run backwards, running and shouting.

"The Eight Banners soldiers ran away!"

"The army was surrounded!"

"The food and grass in the camp have been cut off, and the Eight Banners soldiers have already run away first!"

In Yanzhou Town behind, the Qing army officers and soldiers in Baoding Town watched countless defeated soldiers running towards him. When they were in amazement, the officers and soldiers in Linqing Town in the formation also became turbulent, and people kept shouting.

"The army was defeated, and the Eight Banners soldiers had already run away!"

"The Eight Banners will run away first!"

“…”

Luo Luo, who was supervising the battle behind the formation, was stunned to see countless surrendered troops rushing backwards and rushing towards them. Several cavalry in front wanted to swing their swords and chop the retreating escaped soldiers, but they were instantly swallowed up by the surging defeated soldiers and then came towards the camp.

"Report to Prince Yu Su!" Luo Luohun shouted loudly: "The army has collapsed and can no longer suppress it... Let the infantrymen of the Han army of the Eight Banners retreat quickly!"

After saying that, he rushed over with two thousand Eight Banners cavalry to face the defeated soldiers. If he could not block these defeated soldiers for a while and the defeat was involved in the camp, it would not have retreated safely, and it would inevitably lead to the collapse of the entire army.

The defenders at the head of Penglai County, as Jiannu retreated, burst out with warm cheers. Before noon, Jiannu suddenly launched a rotational attack of nearly 10,000 people, which caught the defenders in the city a little off guard. If it weren't for the artillery's desperate attack, they might have captured a fortress again.

Now, the Penglai County defenders have gradually explored some defensive skills in the continuous offensive and defensive battles for several days. The fortress suddenly used a large number of grape bullets to attack the Jiannu soldiers who rushed to the near front, while more than ten artillery pieces in the main city continued to bombard the Jiannu who gathered to charge in the rear formation, forming a fire cover from far and near and cross-attacks, which made most of the Jiannu repelled by artillery fire before they rushed to the fortress, and suffered heavy casualties.

"Why do I think it's a bit like the whole Jiannu army is defeated!" Luo Shouzhang held up the monocular lens with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

"Is it because Jiannu wants to be defeated and lure me out of the city to fight?" Jiang Yongrui shook his head and said, "We have only five or six thousand defenders in the city. How dare we go out of the city to fight? Jiannu..., Jiannu is not a problem with the back road!...You General Qi and General Niu captured Ye County?"

"Be safe, wait a little longer." Luo Shouzhang hesitated and suggested: "If Jiannu leaves a team of cavalry in the back formation and waits for us to go out of the city to pursue it, that's not good."

"After this battle, hundreds of cavalry will be brought out no matter what." Jiang Yongrui thought to himself.

In this battle, the Ming army captured the surrendered by the Qing army on the way to attack Penglai. When they heard that the food and grass on the rear were cut off, the Eight Banners soldiers retreated first, and then retreated, which caused the army to disperse and seize the road to retreat westward. The Eight Banners Armored Cavalry could not suppress it, and after a little blocking, they protected the Eight Banners Han Army infantry to retreat to Ye County.

The siege of Penglai was dissolved. In the past ten days of the siege, more than 4,000 Jiannu were killed, wounded and captured, five red-clothed cannons were seized, and countless supplies were captured.

On the tenth day of November, it was confirmed that Jiannu had retreated. Jiang Yongrui, the general of Denglai, led 3,000 officers and soldiers to pursue them all the way. Near Xidahe (now Huangshuihe, Shandong), more than 2,000 soldiers who were left behind were killed, wounded and captured more than 2,000 soldiers of Jiannu who were left behind. In the evening of that day, the Jiannu army retreated to Huangxian (now Longkou City, Shandong). The city was under the banner of the Ming Dynasty. The commander Haoge then drove the surrendered army to attack the city, and immediately recovered. The soldiers and civilians in the city immediately fled in all directions.

After half a day of searching, there was almost nothing in the city. Jiannu was angry and set fire to the city, so he continued to retreat to Ye County.
Chapter completed!
