Most of the Ming army had collapsed, and only a few soldiers were still scattered resistance. Although there were still shouts of killing in the distance, they were becoming increasingly sparse.

Dorgon closed his eyes, sucked his nose for a long time, smelled the strong smell of blood in the air, and his blood was surging. The battle started with the siege of Jinzhou, lasted for more than two years, and finally ended at this moment. And the one who obtained this great honor was himself.

If Jinzhou is lost, Ningyuan will be completely reduced to an isolated city, and the Ming army's Ningjin defense line will completely collapse. As long as you take it down and then attack Shanhaiguan, the fastest route to the Central Plains will be opened.

The Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty no longer has to go so far, and try everywhere, trying to find a weak point in the nine sides. As long as you take down Shanhaiguan, the Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty can leave the pass at any time and plunder every inch of the land of the Ming Dynasty. The children of the Eight Banners will become the real masters of the rich land, and they will become the number one pioneer of this great cause.

Dorgon was full of excitement, and his desires gradually expanded under his long suppression.

At this time, a warm cheer came from far and near, and the sound shook the whole field.

Duoduo rushed over with dozens of horses following him, and the horse closest to him was tied up with a golden-armored general. And countless Qing soldiers shouted loudly, "Hong Chengchou was captured."

When Dorgon heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and his breathing became much faster. The man was Hong Chengchou, the current governor of the Ming Ji Liao army, who had commanded tens of thousands of troops. He walked forward quickly, his expression was extremely excited. If it were him, he would become the first governor of the Ming Dynasty to be captured by the Qing Dynasty.

Duoduo jumped off the horse and laughed: "Fourth Brother, have I brought you back?"

Dorgon smiled and patted Duoduo on the shoulder, then waved his hand to stop the two soldiers who pressed Hong Chengchou and wanted him to kneel down. He said in a deep voice: "There is a saying by the Han people that the doctor cannot be punished. Mr. Hong is the governor of Ji Liao, and his status is higher than that of the doctor. How can you insult easily? Release the bondage for Mr. Hong and then retreat quickly for me."

Hong Chengchou rubbed his slightly sore hands and neck, stood proudly, glanced at Dorgon and said, "Are you Dorgon?"

Dorgon smiled faintly and said, "I have fought with Mr. Hong many times, and I can only witness the supreme Yan today. I am deeply impressed by Mr. Hong's talent and ability. Although you are captured today, it is not a crime of war. I am still willing to treat him above courtesy. If Mr. Hong has any requests, I will try my best to satisfy him."

Hong Chengchou looked at Dorgon seriously. He had a yellow face and a thin figure, and looked a little more ordinary than the average person in the crowd. His eyes were long and long, as cunning and shiny as a fox, making people feel that he would not dare to look down on him. Hong Chengchou sighed softly, his face was desolate, and he said slowly: "I have nothing to ask for, I only want to die, I hope the prince will fulfill it."

Dorgon smiled and said, "Mr. Hong, your ability is not weaker than that of this king. But at this moment, this king is the winner, but you are the captive. Isn't God all attached to me, the Qing Dynasty? This is the case, and it is not something that human power can reverse. Didn't the Han people often say that those who know the times are heroes? Why should Mr. Hong be so persistent? As long as you are willing to surrender to my Qing Dynasty, I guarantee that your status in my Qing Dynasty will never be lower than in the Ming Dynasty in the future."

Hong Chengchou smiled softly, his eyes full of jokes: "Prince, this battle is still going on, how do you feel that you must be sure to win!"

Duoduo sneered, "I am all captive, why are you still so stubborn? We have long known the news that you are going to withdraw from Songshan City. You are captured by our army. Wang Tingchen, who escaped from the north gate, was killed because he returned to rescue you. Although the remaining defeated soldiers are still fleeing eastward, how many people can escape safely under the pursuit of my Eight Banners Cavalry? Cao Bianjiao, who fled westward, was also intercepted by my twelfth brother. Do you think he has the possibility of escaping back to Tashan? Where is the possibility of reversal in the Ming army now?"

Hong Chengchou looked at Duoduo with disdain, as if he was looking at a three-year-old child, choosing to keep silent.

Dorgon saw that Hong Chengchou was full of confidence and frowned. He was silent for a moment and smiled at Hong Chengchou, "It seems that Mr. Hong has a trick, but you have been captured. Can anyone save you?"

"Because of the traitor betrayed, you know our army's retreat plan in advance. In Songshan, our army can be said to be completely defeated. There is nothing to say about success, king, defeat, bandit, and I have nothing to say about. But today's battle is not limited to Songshan. Here you may be the winner, but in other places, it may not be like this."

Duoduo snorted and said, "You don't mean the Ming army on the Tashan front line! There is the main force of our army led by Jirgalang. Do you expect them to win?"

Hong Chengchou looked up at the sky. At most two hours, the sky would be completely bright. "Anyway, it's too late to stop it at this time. It's okay to tell you the truth. But before that, I have to ask some things clearly. Even if I lose, I want to lose and understand."

Dorgon looked at Hong Chengchou. At this moment, he seemed more like a sure-win general, rather than a prisoner. The news he had received before was that Lu Xiangsheng would send troops to pick up the Ming army who broke through the Ximen, but he had never guessed where the Ming army he was supporting would appear. At this moment, this worry emerged again, which made him feel particularly nervous.

Hong Chengchou paused for a moment before speaking: "Songshan City has been surrounded for nearly eight months. You have built many camps around the city and dug some long ditches at key points to prevent our army from breaking out. But after I led my troops out of the city tonight, I suddenly found out that there were basically some troops in those places. Why is this? If you set up heavy troops there, maybe our army would not be able to rush out so far."

Dorgon thought for a while and replied: "There are two main reasons. One is that our army is slightly insufficient. If defenses are set up outside the three gates in the east, west and north, the troops are too scattered. And to garrison those camps, a large number of soldiers are needed. The other reason is that I do not want to lose too much force. When I first left the city, the morale of your army was strong, and the defense was not the leader of our army. If our army had just broken through the siege, our army would try our best to intercept, and the losses would be great."
