Du Du heard about the tragedy that happened in Liugezhuang from Zhengbai Banner Niulu Ezhen Ayinggua. In just half an hour, Dorgon and Zhengbai Banner's two thousand troops were all wiped out by the Qi army.
Although the Qing emperor was very reluctant to accept it, he now had to accept the reality that his former master Liu Zhaosun was still alive and was about to attack the Qing army.
From Aying Gua's mouth, Emperor Kangqian learned that the Qi army killed Zhengbai Banner in Liugezhuang without leaving any prisoners. Even Baoyi Aha was killed by them.
"The strength of the Qi army is about 60,000, with continuous camps and sophisticated firearms. They are not under the control of the Shenyang defenders. Yesterday, their cavalry attacked the Zhengbai Banner sentries first, catching Dorgon off guard."
Ayinggua knelt in front of the emperor and chattered to Du Du about the details of the destruction of Zhengbai Banner. After hearing his report, Du Du felt more and more frightened and couldn't help but tremble with fear.
"What kind of firearms did they use?"
Ayinggua said quickly: "It's similar to ours, but more powerful. Some artillery can explode after landing. Our cavalry suffers from this."
Du Du calculated in his mind that although the white flag and the blue flag were lost, the main force of the Qing army still existed. With two red flags, two yellow flags, the white flag and the blue flag, the Six Banners troops did not suffer too many losses and could still fight.
"Liu Zhaosun is here in person, what's the point of this battle?"
More than 10,000 people are in trouble in Shenyang. The sky is dark and the ground is dark. Another 50,000 or 60,000 people are coming, all like wolves and tigers. How can we resist?
Several flag owners were talking endlessly. Sitting next to them were the Korean ruler, Colen and other red-haired barbarian merchants, as well as two bear-like Cossack cavalry.
Du Du urgently summoned his allies in order to explain to Li Sunyi, Kelun and others the truth about the death of lips and teeth.
"Everyone, if the Qing army is defeated and Liu Zhaosun reoccupies Liaodong, you will be the next unlucky ones. Based on my understanding of this thief, his ambitions are not limited to Liaodong or Liaoxi. Next, he will occupy Kuyi Island, and then Korean Japanese Kingdom,"
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
Li Shunyi's face was full of displeasure. He and his Korean soldiers should not have appeared at this time. According to the plan he and the Korean King Li Zhu made, after plundering Shenyang, Lord Control would return with a full load and lead his army back to Seoul. Now he He and more than 10,000 Korean soldiers under his command were stranded in Shenyang, and their return to the country was far away.
The strength of the other allies was too weak, but at least it was better than nothing. Du Du glanced at everyone and saw that they all looked sad. Saha Lian, Du Du, and Shuo Tuo looked at the table blankly and said something. Not sent.
They already knew the news that the leader of the Xianglan Banner, Elli, and the leader of the Zhengbai Banner, Dorgon, had died for their country. They were all like eggplants beaten by frost, with no energy at all.
Liu Zhaosun was resurrected, and the Liu Zhaosun who killed Lao Khan and Huang Taiji was alive.
From Hunhe to Hetuala, from the 47th year of Wanli to the first year of Wuding, Nurhachi's descendants have been living in the shadow of this man. In the memories of Duduo and others, Liu Zhaosun, who killed their relatives, is equivalent to the god of death.
The vigorous Battle of Hetuala that year was an indelible shadow of the little flag owners’ childhood.
Now, the Qi army is pressing down on the border, and they can't think of any other way out except surrender.
"Don't even think about surrendering. The Qi army killed even the prisoners and left no one alive. They killed all the soldiers in Zhengbai Banner."
"Damn thief!"
Dudu cursed loudly.
"Liu Zhaosun will not be at peace even if he is dead, and he will still pretend to be a ghost! Scare me of the Eight Banners of Manchuria!"
The Qing emperor insisted that Liu Zhaosun was dead and that what Zhengbai Banner encountered was just the remnants of the Qi army entrenched in western Liaoning.
He was worried that others would collapse immediately after knowing that Emperor Wu Ding was still alive.
So Du Du called a shaman to get rid of the evil spirits, so that the lingering Liu Zhaosun would fall into hell as soon as possible.
The shaman, who was wearing a striped robe and covered with feathers, dragged his rag-like skirt around the crowd twice and muttered something. Finally, he suddenly fell to the ground unconscious, spitting out large jets of foam.
Du Du leaned over to the wizard's side. After hearing the wizard's murmur clearly, he announced God's will to the flag owner and the red-haired barbarian:
The ghost of Liu Thief has been killed by Changsheng Tian. Use your arrows to kill all Liu Thieves and burn Nikan to ashes.
Coren and his European companions looked at each other, shrugged, and smiled awkwardly.
The British businessman rubbed his red rosacea nose and whispered to the Dutch businessman:
"The ancient mysterious hypnotic ritual of the East, gentlemen, we are going to be buried with the Tatars."
The arrows mentioned by the Qing emperor were of course not ordinary bows and arrows, but the Woolwial rockets used by the British East India Company to support the Qing Dynasty not long ago.
This rocket was developed by Colonel William Wulwich of the Royal Laboratory Artillery. The rocket weighs 14.5 kilograms, has an arrow length of 1.06 meters and a diameter of 0.1 meters. It is equipped with a 4.6-meter-long balance rod and has a range of up to 1,800 meters. After continuous improvement, the range can reach 3,000 meters, and it mainly kills enemies with tail flame burning.
When the Qing army attacked Shenyang City in February, they had the last 100 coins in their hands.
Du Du felt that this powerful weapon should be able to block the Qi army's attack. Although Liu Zhaosun's soldiers were brave, in the end they were all made of flesh and blood. Two waves of rockets would wash away the ground, and even the most powerful army would be defeated.
The emperor ordered people to take out all the last hundred Wulwich rockets from the bottom of the box, set them up near the entrance of the camp, and aim at firing at the Qi soldiers approaching from the east.
"Burn you to death! Burn you Liu Zhaosun to death!"
At the last moment, Du Du did not choose to escape, but led Zhenghuangqi to the front.
Looking at the rocket meteors rising all over the sky, Du Du was excited. He felt that his body was going to climb up to the sky with the rocket, and brilliant sparks bloomed above the heads of the Qi army soldiers.

In the wilderness to the west of Shenyang, white smoke drifted in the wind, and explosions occurred one after another. When the infantry of both sides were still three miles apart, the impatient artillerymen began to bombard each other endlessly.
The Qi army, which had been watching the battle at the west gate of Shenyang, suddenly fired several field artillery pieces from behind. The shells landed in the dense formation of Zhenghuang Banner armored soldiers. The rolling and jumping iron balls splashed blood in the crowd. Wu Zhenha Chao They immediately fired back at the top of the city. The few remaining small cannons at the top of the city were immediately suppressed by Qing artillery fire that was several times larger than theirs. After a while, there was no more counterattack.
Wu Zhenhachao easily dealt with the defender's attack, took out all the red-haired barbarian rockets that their emperor had packed at the bottom of the box, headed west, and bombarded the approaching Qi army's formation.
The First Battalion of the First Guards Army crashed into a dense meteor shower. More than 500 soldiers were instantly engulfed by the flames and smoke of the Wulwich rockets. More than 500 human-shaped fireballs ignited out of thin air in the Liaodong wilderness.
Emperor Wu Ding put down his telescope and waved his fingers forward fiercely.
The combat order of the messenger was sent to the front. After Pu Gang confirmed it, he loudly ordered:
"Second Battalion, attack!"
"The target is the Zhenghuang Banner Army Camp! Move forward!"
The soldiers of the second battalion stepped on the burning corpses of their comrades and continued to move forward. Lu Xiangsheng led the cavalry and began to sweep the two wings of the Qing army, fighting with the Qing army's rangers on both wings. The artillery, under the cover of the cavalry, pushed the field artillery forward.
Shuo Tuo frowned. He was shocked by the army in front of him. This Qi army, which was brought in for reinforcements from the pass, had an indescribable weird temperament throughout the entire army, which was really difficult to describe in words.
It felt like these people rushing towards him were like Liu Zhaosun's arms, completely obeying Liu Zhaosun's command, as if life and death were nothing to consider for them.
For more than a year, Shuo Tuo, the leader of Zhenghong Banner, has fought many tough battles in Liaodong, but he has never encountered an opponent like today. His intuition tells Shuo Tuo that the army in front of him is more powerful than the Qi army in Shenyang City. Even more terrifying, he always felt that there was something missing from these soldiers, but he couldn't quite explain it clearly...
As the second battalion of fire riflemen approached step by step, Wu Zhenhachao gradually panicked. Their rockets had all been fired, burning the first wave of Qi troops to death, but what was the use? The second wave came next.
What makes the Qing army incredible is that the cannon fodder on the opposite side does not need to be suppressed by the supervising team at all, and they immediately make up for it.
Before the Qing troops in the front row could react, the Qi army's field artillery had already fired. In a moment, hundreds of explosive shells fell on the Uzhenha Chaohuo gun array.
With the roaring sound, thousands of well-equipped and well-trained soldiers were wiped out in an instant.
No one reacted. According to previous knowledge, one round of solid bullets would kill at most dozens of people...
Liu Zhaosun suddenly stood up from the Grand Master's chair, holding the command flag in his hand, pointing at the Zhenghuang Banner's main tent, and constantly issued instructions to his soldiers.
"Don't worry about the threats from the flanks, attack Zhenghuang Banner directly! Capture Du Du alive!"

On April 10th, Emperor Wuding sent Pu Gang, Deng Changxiong, Zhao Lijiao and others to Tieling, Qinghe, and Kaiyuan to accept surrender. He personally led an army of 60,000 to continue the pursuit eastward, sweeping through Liaodong, Liaoyang, Fushun and other places without fighting. On April 28th, the Korean army drank in the Yalu River. In Kuandian City, the defeated Korean troops were unable to escape and their retreat was cut off. The emperor ordered them to be massacred.
On the first day of May, 100,000 Qi troops came to Hetuala. Emperor Wuding informed the villagers everywhere that anyone who informed Du Du's whereabouts would be granted a thousand household seals and a reward of one thousand taels of silver. Anyone who killed or captured Du Du would be granted the title of commander. Envoy, reward ten thousand taels of silver. Those who hide and do not retaliate will be punished by the Nine Clans.
After the notice was posted, local villagers in Liaodong spontaneously organized themselves to search the mountains and seas to arrest Dudu.
From Hetuala to Wutaizi Mountain, Dudulema, who looked exhausted, walked slowly, leaving his pursuers far behind. Looking behind him, he found that only the last hundred or so people were left.
"Old Khan was killed by Liu thief, Sibeile was killed by Liu thief, and I will be forced to death by Liu thief today. Changshengtian, are you blind? Why are you so vicious to my Aixinjueluo family!"
Du Du pointed to the sky and cursed angrily, burst into tears, everyone on the left and right wept, and no one could look up.
Emperor Kangxi and Qianlong cried a lot, then mounted his horse again, with more than a hundred followers of Geshiha under his command.
Du Du did not defend Hetuala at the last moment like Huang Taiji did. Instead, he led the remnants of the Zhenghuang Banner to break out of the encirclement before the Qi army closed the encirclement. They fought two battles with the Qi army along the way and suffered heavy casualties before crossing the Suzi River. Finally, there were only more than a hundred people left behind.
Du Du and others walked to Wutaizi Mountain and lost their way. They asked an old Nikan farmer next to him who was plowing the land. The old farmer narrowed his eyes and gave the Qing Emperor directions:
"Go eastward along the Suzi River, and you'll be out of the mountains after walking three miles."
Everyone quickly galloped towards the east.
Du Du opened his big bow, aimed at the thin old farmer, and shot the old farmer through with one arrow.
"If you die, you won't report the news."
The Qing emperor murmured to himself, whipping his whip to catch up with Goshiha who had already run half a mile away.
The group of riders walked two miles to the left, and the road became softer and softer under the horses' hooves. Finally, they fell into a muddy tidal flat, and their horses had to slow down.
"Damn it, I was deceived by that old man!"
The Jurchens were shouting and cursing loudly as they steered their horses out of the swamp.
Soon, the sharp bamboo whistle of the Qi army cavalry came from behind them,
Du Du had no choice but to turn his horse's head and run towards the north. When he escaped to the outskirts of Kuandian City, there were only twenty-eight riders behind him.
Behind them were all the Guards cavalry, at least thousands of them.
Du Du knew that he had nowhere to escape, so he said to everyone:
"Since six years ago, I have been working hard just to eliminate the Liu bandits. From last year to now, in more than seventy battles in Liaodong, those who were in charge were defeated, those who were attacked were subdued, and I have never been defeated!"
"I am trapped here today, and if I am killed here, it is not a crime of war."
What Du Du said, translated into human language, is that Liu Zhaosun is really too strong. It would not be unfair for me to die in his hands!
At this time, a small boat sailed by the Yalu River. The person driving the boat was Li Shunyi's staff. When he saw Du Du and others, he said loudly:
"Although Korea is small, with an area of thousands of miles and millions of people, it is still enough for a king. May the king rush to cross. Now I only have a boat, and the Qi army has arrived, but there is no way to cross."
Du Du knew that there was no danger to defend North Korea, and even if he fled to Seoul, he would only be able to survive for a few days. Moreover, Liu Zhaosun and Li Zhu had a blood feud. After Liaodong was pacified, Liu Zhaosun's next target would be North Korea.
Emperor Kangxi and Qianlong roared up to the sky and said loudly: "Now that the sky is going to destroy our Qing Dynasty, what's the use of crossing the river by myself!"
He thought for a while and then added: "What's more, I promised the King of Korea to help him occupy Kuandian and Fushun and restore the territory of Korea. Thousands of people from Korea crossed the river to the west, and now no one has returned. Even though the King of Korea took pity on me and took him in." I, how can I see the Jiangdong elders with their faces! Even if the North Korean people don’t say anything, won’t I feel guilty?”
So he said to the Korean who rowed a boat to rescue him: "You are a good servant of the Qing Dynasty. I have buried thousands of taels of gold on the bank of Balipu River in the east of Kuandian City. I will reward you with all of it!"
Du Du took off his gilt armor, took off his ocher robe, threw away his golden flower spit, took off his court boots, put on straw sandals, ordered all the Ge Shiha to dismount and walk, formed a battle formation, and fought against the Qi army. Soldiers engage in battle and make a last stand.
The last twenty-eight Geshiha dismounted one after another, and the Qi army's cavalry immediately surrounded them all.
Only Du Du took advantage of his unpreparedness and looked deep into the mountains and wilderness, through the mountains and forests, riding his horse non-stop, as panic-stricken as a dog that had lost its home, and as anxious as a fish that slipped through the net.
It is said that Du Du retreated from five mountains in one night and walked to a valley. He saw a thatched house embedded under a big pine tree in the valley.
Du Du was hungry, but when he was about to go to the thatched cottage to find some food, he saw a ferocious tiger coming from behind the thatched cottage, and the roar of the tiger made the thatched grass rustle. Du Du was so excited that he was frightened to the core. , hurriedly pulled out the sword and pointed it at the tiger, his teeth couldn't help but chatter.
"Ah! Ah!"
Du Du roared, raised his sword and slashed it, but hit nothing. He looked at the tiger again and took two steps back, limping.
When Du Du took a closer look, he saw an arrow stuck in its hind leg. The emperor could tell at a glance that it was the three-edged wolf-tooth heavy arrow of Batulu Obai. The wound had suppurated. No wonder the beast was dying.
"Hahaha, I happened to be very hungry, so I killed you and BBQed you!"
Du Du was about to step forward to replenish his sword, when he suddenly saw a half-sized man Shang coming out from behind the pine tree. He knocked over the scabbard and tied it with a rope. That young man was none other than Da Qi soldier Jiang Liuer.
When the man and the tiger reunited, they couldn't help themselves. Jiang Liu'er hugged Panasonic and cried. Seeing that the tiger was still breathing, he quickly raised his head and broke the needles on the old pine tree. He went into the house to boil some water and drank it for the tiger. He heard people say This can save lives.
After a while, Panasonic slowly opened his eyes and struggled to stand up. At this time, Lao Qian, Alsa, Zhu Youxiao, and Kang Guangxu had already followed.
Everyone took Dudu and took him to the thatched hut, got some food, and were walking out of the mountain when they met the sentry horses searching the mountain. They tied him up and captured him together, and saw Qi Jin who was guarding Kuandian.
When Qi Jin saw Du Du, he was overjoyed and asked, "Jiang Liu'er, how did you get this thief's head while you were waiting?"
Jiang Liu'er said: "The little one came out of the ten thousand pine forests of Wutaizi Mountain to chase the Rakshasa ghost and went deep into the mountains. It was so good to bump into him."
When Qi Jin saw Emperor Tianqi and Kang Yingqian's sons there, he was filled with emotion. He patted Jiang Liu'er on the shoulder and laughed loudly:
"Okay, okay, you are all still alive. The emperor will be delighted when he sees you."
