Chapter 58 Qing Army Going South

After Turge withdrew his troops from the north of the city, he stayed in Miyun for two days. Then he received a military order from Abatai, asking him to lead his troops back to the main camp in Tongzhou and join forces first before making plans.

He went beyond the plan to attack the city of Beijing. As a result, he encountered a strong enemy below the city and lost nearly 2,000 troops, including the elite Eight Banners. This disrupted Abatai's arrangement, and he suddenly found that the entire battle situation had actually fallen into a confrontation between the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.

unfavorable situation for the military.

The main force of 60,000 to 70,000 people has been unable to go south. They originally thought of mobilizing the Ming army's deployment by attacking Beijing, and then finding a gap to rush into the southern part of North Zhili. However, the tactic of attacking Beijing did not work. On the contrary, because the troops were divided into two groups, they might be defeated.

Defeat them one by one. In other words, my arrangement of attacking the city of Beijing provided the Ming army with a fighting chance in the end.

We can no longer divide our troops! It is safer to unite our troops together. As long as the main forces are together, judging from the current strength of the Ming army, they can't do anything to their own army. It was out of this idea that Abatai urgently ordered

Turg withdrew his camp. Even though Abatai was very prosperous now, in fact, he was under great pressure in leading the army to attack Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for a coincidence, he would never have had the chance to become the commander who led the army into the pass.

Among the Manchu and Qing aristocrats, Abatai had a very low status and was considered a low-ranking force. This time he was appointed as the general who entered the country to plunder, mainly because of the internal fighting among the Manchu and Qing aristocrats. After the Songshan Battle, Huang Taiji

, he became seriously ill and his body was deteriorating. This caused other powerful people to be ready to take action. Under such circumstances, Huang Taiji simply did not dare to hand over the army to anyone with ambition and ability. Although Daishan was not ambitious,

Although the power in his hands is too great, it would be more reassuring to stay with him. The Dorgon brothers cannot be allowed to lead troops. These three brothers are ambitious people. Hauge cannot be allowed to leave Shengjing.

If something unexpected happens, he must be allowed to succeed.

The main people cannot give up Shengjing, but the battle south to attack the Ming Dynasty must be fought. If not fought, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties will be in trouble due to the losses in the Battle of Songshan and the severe drought outside the pass this year. The Qing Dynasty still hopes to conquer the Ming Dynasty.

Grab some supplies to maintain normal operations! It is for this reason that Abatai, who is not taken seriously, is qualified to lead troops into the customs alone.

His family knows his own affairs, and Abatai knows his situation. This time he is put on the fire in the battle to enter the pass. Not only does he have to lead his troops to grab more things, but he also has to prevent the army from suffering losses. These two things have

Even if something went wrong, the forces in Shengjing would not eat him up.

"Turg, why were you so careless that our army suffered such heavy losses outside the capital of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Baylor, this slave is guilty of death! Following Ming Gou's scheme, they prepared a large number of shockingly powerful thunderbolts in the capital, setting up an ambush just waiting for our army to fall into a trap. After the slaves arrived at the city, they carefully explored and discovered their

Therefore, he changed his target and attacked the camp where Chen Thief's reinforcements were located. He originally wanted to take down the enemy camp in one go, but when he saw that his treacherous plan failed, he sent a group of elite troops out of the city to rescue Chen Thief's camp. The slaves were anxious.

Fu Kachan was sent to lead elite troops to snipe, but Fu Kachan was careless and let the army charge into the formation without any support. Then they encountered Ming Gou's elite Thunderous Formation, which caused our army to suffer

Huge losses and heavy casualties! Fortunately, I saw the opportunity and sent a quasi tower to rescue, otherwise the entire army of slaves might be trapped in this battle."

Shifting the blame and shirking responsibility is not a patent of the Ming army. Anyone who has lost a battle has this problem. After Turge's explanation, the responsibility for the battle losses was shouldered by the dead Fu Kachan alone.

, but he himself became the hero in preventing the entire army from suffering greater losses.

"Your battle report said that the Ming army relied on the power of the thunder to cause huge losses to our white-armored soldiers. Thunderbolt also knows, what power does that thing have? At most, it is just loud."

"Baylor, the Thunderbolt used by Minggou this time is a little weird. It is much more powerful than the Thunderbolt before. I collected a few Thunderbolts they used on the battlefield, re-added the lead and tried it.

The power is astonishing, and I brought a few with me when I returned to camp this time, so Belle can try it out and see for himself."

It is easy for fuse-type grenades to fail to detonate. When the Qing army searched the battlefield, they found several grenades that did not detonate. Turg specially arranged for people to keep them properly and brought them back to the camp. The purpose was to use this thing to cover up

He is responsible for the failure of his own troops.

Abata was dubious and arranged for people to test the power of this thing. The Qing army's test method was much crueler and rougher than Zhu Youjian. They directly captured a few civilians and tied them together, then placed grenades among the civilians and ignited them.

After putting the fuse in, a loud noise was heard within a few seconds.

After the sound of the explosion and the smoke dissipated, Abate rode his horse to the scene of the explosion. He saw that all five civilian husbands tied together were killed on the spot, with seven orifices bleeding to death on the periphery, and the bodies of the two people in the center were even injured.

It was blown to pieces.

"Turg, are all Minggou's sky-shattering thunders this powerful?"

"Baylor is so powerful, and they will bring a lot of these things with them when they go into the field, otherwise our white-armored soldiers would not suffer heavy casualties."

"This thunder is a bit too cruel. It is definitely a sharp weapon on the battlefield! Have you ever asked the Han people accompanying the army if this thing can be imitated?"

"My servant asked the craftsmen who accompanied the army. They said that it is not difficult to imitate the model. The difficulty is that the medicine used in it is not commonly used in firearms. The Ming army should have used a new recipe. If they used commonly used medicine, the power would be the same as before.

It’s almost the same size as the Thunderbolt, and it’s even difficult to explode the detonator.”

"Ming Gou has a new prescription? You need to report it to Shengjing as soon as possible. In this way, I will arrange for people to send all the thunders you collected to Shengjing and let them see if they can find a way to use this thunder.

Make it. The problem now is that Minggou has this kind of firearm to rely on, and our army can't get in at all, which makes the army's next march even more difficult. Turg, what should we do next?

"

"Baylor, I think we have to lead the army from Tongzhou to the south as soon as possible. As long as we get to the south, the room for the army will be much larger. Moreover, the supply of food and grass in our camp is not enough. If we stay here any longer, the situation will be worse.

It gets worse."

"Go around to the south? The Qinwang soldiers of the Ming army are all blocked here. If the army passes through, I'm afraid they will have to fight hard, and there may be heavy losses. This is also the reason why Ben Beile has been undecided about going south. Before, he thought of fighting through

In Mingdu, we were able to move these blocking dogs away, but the result was the opposite, which made it difficult to handle."

"Baylor, the situation is very critical! A tough battle is inevitable. Although these blocking dogs are numerous in number, they cannot fight a tough battle. The slave is mainly afraid that if Ming Gou transfers the elite troops from the capital here again, what will happen to us?

It’s even more troublesome.”

After listening to Turge's suggestion, Abatai thought for a long time and finally made the decision to mobilize all his troops and break through the Ming army's Tongzhou defense line southward. Otherwise, the Qing army would be even more passive!
