The moment they received Wanyan Aguda's order, both Daishan and Wu Sangui felt timid. They did not dare to fight Huo Qubing head-on, not to mention that they were still attacked from three sides by Huo Qubing.
"Aguda wants to kill this king."
Daishan's face was full of gloom. After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, he ordered: "Send the order, and the entire army will withdraw and return to the original route."
Of course Dai Shan understood the consequences of this order, but he was more afraid of dying at the hands of Huo Qubing. At the same time, he was also extremely dissatisfied with Wanyan Aguda who wanted him to die.
Wu Sangui was overjoyed when he heard Dai Shan's words. He didn't want to fight Huo Qubing head-on. After all, as a traitor general of the Han Dynasty, once a war started with the Qin army, those Qin generals would definitely give priority to dealing with him, a traitor, but with that
Because of his status, he couldn't disobey Aguda's order, so Daishan's move was naturally in line with his wishes.
Although Wu Sangui was eager to disobey on behalf of Shan, he did not show it at all on his face. Instead, he deliberately showed a look of hesitation and advised: "Second brother, King Aguda's order is to hold Huo Qubing for two hours. Wouldn't it be disobedient to retreat at this time?"
Military order?"
"snort……"
Daishan snorted dissatisfied and said coldly: "Wu Sangui, Aguda is the king, and I am also the king. If you obey his orders, won't you obey my king?"
Are you a slave of his Wanyan family? Or am I a slave of the Aisin Gioro family?"
After hearing these heart-wrenching words, Wu Sangui's expression suddenly changed. He quickly dismounted his horse and knelt down, expressing his loyalty: "My servant is naturally a slave of Aisin Gioro. My servant's loyalty can be seen from heaven and earth, and can be demonstrated by the sun and the moon."
Daishan also didn't expect that his words would cause such a big reaction from Wu Sangui. He immediately nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand to support him with an arrogant expression: "Get up, remember your identity."
"twitter."
Wu Sangui's arrogant head said with great respect, but his eyes were full of resentment.
He really regretted becoming a traitor. He thought that surrendering to the Manchus would have a glorious future. However, the Manchus failed to fulfill any of their previous promises and continued to trample on his dignity. But he has long since become a traitor.
There is no way back.
Under the leadership of Dai Shan, Dai Shan and Wu Sangui's 20,000 cavalry did not obey Wanyan Aguda's order, but returned the same way before being outflanked by Huo Qubing's army in three directions, and took the initiative to give way to Jia Fu's retreat.
come out.
After Huo Qubing learned about it, he was still a little disappointed. He was dissatisfied and underestimated: "Is this a coward? It seems that Wanyan Aguda is not as tough as the intelligence said."
Huo Qubing thought that Daishan and Wu Sangui would withdraw their troops. This was the order given by Wanyan Aguda. It was his own strategy of one army for another that forced Aguda to retreat. Little did he know that this was entirely Daishan's fear of fighting him, so he issued the order on his own initiative.
.
Of course Huo Qubing knew what A Gu was going to do, but he was still confident that he could completely defeat Dai Shan and Wu Sangui's 20,000 cavalry within two hours, and his confidence was not only because his own troops were more powerful than the enemy, but also because the Qing army was
The commanders-in-chief are Dai Shan and Wu Sangui.
Daishan was the second son of Nurhachi, while Wu Sangui was a traitorous general of the Han Dynasty, so Daishan must be the leader among the two.
According to intelligence, although Daishan has fought in many battles, he does not have many outstanding achievements, which is much worse than Huang Taiji and Dorgon.
Facing such an opponent with a superior force, Huo Qubing believed that two hours was enough.
Huo Qubing wanted to have a tough battle with the Qin army, but Daishan and Wu Sangui were timid and took the initiative to retreat before the war started. Their retreat also made A Guda's perfect encirclement useless, which was equivalent to taking the initiative to
Jia Fu's subordinates released him.
"It's a pity. I can only find a chance next time to fight Aguma again." Huo Qubing said with a look of regret.
When Luo Cheng heard this, he said doubtfully: "General Huo, Dai Shan and Wu Sangui have retreated, but Wanyan Aguda may not give up. Maybe he wants to concentrate his forces to fight our army decisively."
Huo Qubing said with determination: "Don't worry, this battle can't be fought.
The purpose of Aguda setting up such an encirclement is to retain General Jia Fu. But now that General Jia Fu has escaped, even if the troops are concentrated to launch a decisive battle, the Qing army's 50,000 cavalry will not have much advantage against our army of 43,000. Aguda will never win.
So unwise.”
"In that case, Aguda will take the initiative to retreat?" Luo Cheng asked uncertainly.
Huo Qubing's eyes flashed and he smiled lightly: "He has no other choice."
Huo Qubing's guess was correct. Aguda now had no other choice but to retreat.
When he learned that Dai Shan and Wu Sangui did not respect military orders and withdrew their troops before the battle, Aguda was furious and cursed them in person as deserters.
Daishan was a prince, and Aguda did not dare to touch him, but he was not so kind to Wu Sangui, a Han general. He whipped out his horse whip, leaving a permanent scar of humiliation on Wu Sangui's face.
After being whipped, Wanyan Aguda was still angry and was about to continue beating Wu Sangui, but was stopped by Dai Shan.
According to Daishan, when you beat a dog, it depends on the owner. If you, Agu, hit me in front of Daishan, are you not taking me seriously?
Daishan's words were vulgar and straightforward. Although they made Aguda even more angry, they also made him realize that the Aixinjueluo family was dissatisfied with him. Now even Daishan dared to contradict him in public.
Aguda did not want to completely break up with Daishan, so he could only give up and continue to vent his anger on Wu Sangui, and at the same time he felt extremely regretful in his heart.
If he had known that Daishan was so cowardly, he would never have given Daishan the task of intercepting Jia Fu, and Duduo and Wanyan Jinpinzi would never have been scared away by Huo Qubing's reputation.
Daishan's retreat put all Aguda's plans in jeopardy, and it was something that could never be remedied.
Now that Jia Fu's retreat has been cleared, if the Qing army continues to catch up, a decisive battle will break out directly between the Qin army.
Although the Qing army has 7,000 more troops than the Qin army, the Qin army's equipment is much better than the Qing army. If a war breaks out, the Qin army may not be its opponent.
In desperation, Aguda could only order the withdrawal of troops, tie himself up, and take the initiative to plead guilty to Nurhaci, hoping to reduce his guilt.
"Your Majesty, Aguda betrayed your trust and failed to bring back Jia Fu's head. Aguda is guilty."
Aguda knelt down on one knee and said sincerely, and as a king, he would only kneel down when facing the emperor.
Nurhachi sat expressionlessly on the main seat and said nothing, but his tiger eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts were staring at Aguda below, which made Aguda feel as if he had been seen through.
