After receiving the urgent document from Shuotuo, Duduo himself was unwilling to deal with the group of barbarians who landed in Liaodong. For no other reason than it was a thankless effort and he would not even be able to get a son. It was far better to enter the pass and plunder. Come as it should.
However, the emperor asked his second brother to lead the troops south to exterminate these barbarians, so the two white flags had to send troops. As the leader of the little flag with the white flag, Duduo had no intention of taking any serious action against the barbarians.
If we can preserve our strength now, when the two white flags enter the customs in the autumn, won't they be able to kill everyone when they face the bright yellow-mouthed prince?
After Lao Tieshan suffered such a big loss, the size of Duduo's available troops dropped sharply, and any idea of taking advantage was wiped out. How could he not get angry?
These dog slaves raised under his command usually seem to be quite clever, but here they act stupidly. This is simply the lowest level of mistake.
Back at the camp, looking at a group of lazy and brainless gourmets, Duduo leaned back in his chair and sulked for a long time. The barbarian had deliberately set a trap, but you guys just stupidly dug in!
The second brother was also too impatient. In order to break through Gou Manzi's defense line as soon as possible, he sent E Shuo's guy over. Not only did he not succeed and beat Gou Manzi hard, but he also broke E Shuo during the charge.
Those barbarians were also very vicious, deliberately retreating, and then luring the enemy deeper, allowing Master Wang to pursue them into the mountains, and then sneak attack Master Wang of the Qing Dynasty with explosive packages that did not ask for knowledge. It was really hateful.
Duduo wished he could peel off the dog barbarian's muscles, bruise his bones and raise ashes, but it was a done deal and it would not help. This battle was really lost, and it was impossible to make a comeback, because his own troops were almost exhausted.
After returning to the camp, after careful counting, Aung Bang Zhangjing Ashan brought a Zhengbai Banner, a Jia La, and a Baya La Niulu brought by Eshuo later. Now there are only 625 people left, and the number was lost in the first battle. Thousands of armored flag soldiers.
There is one Jiala led by Zhangjing Gadahun of the Zhenghong Banner, and there are 482 people left. Calculated based on the battle loss ratio, the level of losses is even higher than that of the Zhengbai Banner.
At that time, two Jia La and one B Ya La Niulu were put into the army with a white flag, totaling more than 3,200 people. Now there are less than 900 left, indicating a direct loss of 2,300 people, which is equivalent to the loss of those two flags. The total number of troops lost.
The loss of nearly 4,500 armored soldiers in the first battle was an unprecedented defeat for the Qing Dynasty!
Although there are still flag soldiers who can be withdrawn from the battlefield, they are all seriously injured. The flag soldiers who are really slightly injured have long since ran back with the large group of people.
Duduo couldn't help but blame the obedient king Kong Youde for his unfavorable cooperation. Kong Youde brought 8,500 men and horses, plus 3,000 Baoyi Aha, and now there are still more than 3,000 remaining soldiers and more than 1,000 Baoyi.
If compared according to the scale of losses, the casualties of King Gongshun's troops were more than those of the three banners combined. If this battle is unfavorable, we can't blame others for being insecure and not working hard.
King Zhishun Shang Kexi led more than 10,000 Tianyou troops to attack the Goumanzi in the mountains first. Duduo originally thought that the reason for his defeat was incompetence and cowardice.
Unexpectedly, if he led the attack on his own, he would lose even more miserably than Shang Kexi. The only thing he was thankful for was that he was not attacked by a barbarian with a hidden weapon like Shang Kexi.
Now it's good, there are no soldiers in hand, but there is no need to fight. Anyone who wants to fight can do it. Then go up and fight with the dog barbarian yourself, or directly ask the emperor to conquer in person.
Duduo was depressed and angry. He whipped several of his dog slaves with a whip but did not forgive him. He suffered such a big loss and didn't know where to make up for it.
When the obedient King Kong Youde saw Prince Yu like this, he couldn't say much. The Tianyou Army suffered heavy losses, and it was not easy to follow the Eight Banners army into the pass to plunder in the autumn.
In such a weak situation, once we distance ourselves from the Eight Banners Army and fight alone, if we encounter tens of thousands of barbarians from King Qin's army, it is no joke, and we may have to move our heads.
It's not that Kong Youde didn't know the combat strength of his troops. His troops were very familiar with fighting smooth battles. If they were to fight hard battles, especially fierce battles, it would first depend on the performance of the Eight Banners masters.
If even the Master of the Eight Banners can't defeat Gou Manzi, then don't expect any surprises from the God's Blessing Army.
Thinking about how Shuotuo's troops were annihilated by the barbarians, and how the commendable troops were defeated, we know that the strength of the barbarians on the opposite side is extraordinary.
Kong Youde felt that with such huge casualties on his side, it was only reasonable that the casualties on Goumanzi's side should be at least the same, or even greater than those of the King's Division of the Qing Dynasty.
But even if the guess turned out to be true, the King of Qing Dynasty was now unable to organize an attack.
This is equivalent to two healthy strong men fighting each other, but after a beating, they both became cripples.
If the fight continues, we will both die...
No matter Kong Youde, Duoduo, or even Dorgon and Daishan, they never thought of dying together with the lowly dog barbarians.
Prince Rui Dorgon led his army to attack this time. Firstly, he wanted to avenge Shuotuo, secondly, he wanted to recover the occupied lost territory, and thirdly, he wanted to annihilate the dog barbarians.
If Gou Manzi could take the initiative to go to sea, even if he boarded the ship and left, Dorgon would not bother with it. These are just Kong Youde's guesses.
Now everyone in the Qing Dynasty knows that when autumn comes, the emperor will raise an overwhelming army and attack the capital. As long as the northern capital of Man Ming is captured, it means that Man Ming has begun to perish.
The worst is that the Qing Dynasty will not be able to invade the south of the Yangtze River, and will quickly occupy half of the Man Ming Dynasty, become the real master of the Jiangbei region, and divide the land and population within the pass with the Man Ming Dynasty.
Thinking of the beauties, silver coins, and mansions he was about to get, Kong Youde's fighting spirit was not as strong as Dorgon's. Everything was following orders, because he couldn't do it without fighting, and Duoduo's Eight Banners soldiers were supervising the battle from behind.
"Second brother!"
"Third brother, how is the battle going?"
Duduo originally wanted to hide from Dorgon, but he felt that instead of hiding with a guilty conscience, it was better to take the initiative to report the battle situation.
Anyway, it's already like this. It's not that our troops are at a disadvantage in the battle. Didn't Ashan also bring the Zhengbai Banner troops to support him? This is the result.
Even if he didn't say it himself, Ashan, a bitch slave, would send someone to report the truth to his brother, so he came with the obedient Wang Kong Youde.
"Lost!"
Since he was his brother, Duduo didn't want to make any excuses at all, so he told the result straightforwardly without changing his expression.
"...How did you lose?"
Dorgon frowned when he heard this, but he did not get angry immediately. He still wanted to understand the ins and outs of the matter before he could judge the general situation on Duduo's side.
"Ah Shan! You saw it clearly in front of the battle, let you tell it!"
Duduo didn't know much about what happened in the mountains. Since Ashan was a slave under his second brother and went to the battlefield to supervise the battle, he must have a better understanding of the situation and his words would be more convincing.
"Hey! Master, when I led my troops to the battlefield, the men and horses of Xiangbai Banner and Tianyou Army had already broken through Goumanzi's first line of defense and were blocked in front of the second line of defense. I then rushed to the battlefield with Zheng Hongqi who led his troops. Jia Lazhang Jingga Dahun's troops joined together, and joined forces with the White Banner and the Tianyou Army, hoping to break through Goumanzi's second line of defense in one fell swoop. However, this place was heavily fortified by Goumanzi. Not only was the attack path narrow, but only There was a ridge to walk on, and the dog barbarians on the opposite side were equipped with thousands of muskets and a large number of giant bows. The slaves and other troops repeatedly rushed to kill them, but to no avail. When it was close to dawn, the slaves let the two soldiers brought by the God's Blessing Army Qian Baoyi acted as the forward, and the flag soldiers covered behind him before charging again. Unexpectedly, Gou Manzi used an explosive package, which was extremely powerful. There were no less than ten explosive mallets, and one or two hundred bombs were thrown at one time. He threw it ten times in a row. The battlefield exploded, and the iron beads flew everywhere, making the flag soldiers unable to defend themselves. The slaves were unable to parry, and they couldn't break the dog barbarian's defense line even if they charged forward forcefully, so they had to retreat in the end!"
This was the most frustrating battle that Ashan had ever fought. We could not use our own advantage, but the barbarian could kill the flag soldiers at will. It was despicable, shameless and unscrupulous.
"Explosive package?"
Dorgon was very puzzled after hearing this. First there was the explosive mallet, and then there was the explosive package. It was endless. How many flag soldiers would die if this fight continued?
"Return to the master! That's right! Each package is about the size of a watermelon and contains a large number of iron beads. Once exploded, the iron beads will scatter in all directions. Even if the flag soldiers are wearing armor, it will be difficult to protect their faces, hands and feet."
Ah Shan felt that Master Wang suffered the loss because of this. Without this explosive package, Master Wang would have killed all the barbarians and jumped into the sea by now.
"...How many troops were lost?"
Encountering this kind of barbarian weapon that he had never seen before, Dorgon couldn't think of a way to deal with it for the time being. He had to first understand the loss of troops before making a decision. Lewen
"Go back to the master, this slave is guilty! The total loss of the three flags is more than 4,000! The loss of King Gongshun's troops exceeds this amount!"
Ashan knew that he would not be able to escape punishment, not to mention that Duduo and Kong Youde were sitting across from each other, so lying could only be asking for trouble.
"...Really?"
If these two items are added together, wouldn’t it be nearly 10,000?
Dorgon almost held his breath. He didn't believe that Master Wang had been hit hard, so he turned to ask Duoduo and Kong Youde.
"...This is Yudi's fault, that's true!"
Duduo also accepted the result, because he had to go back to replenish the lost men and horses. This battle was equivalent to killing a half-armored flag soldier.
"Go back to your lord, this servant is incompetent!"
At this point, Kong Youde no longer feels that the failure has little to do with his troops, so he can only plead guilty on his own. If the battle is like this, someone must be responsible. At least Dorgon will not pass the responsibility to his brother Duduo. .
"Okay! You all have tried your best to fight this time. I am not deaf or blind, so I understand that the top priority now is to find a good strategy to defeat the enemy!"
The two armies were fighting fiercely, and the men were about to be recruited. Besides, everyone wanted to lose face. Dorgon could not blame the two ministers of the Qing Dynasty in public. The most he could do was vent his anger on Ashan and other minions under his command, and just beat and scold him.
"Second brother, is there any progress on your side?"
Duduo saw that Daishan and Mandahai had just entered the big tent, and felt that he was not in a good position to attack there. The two red flags and the Zhengbai flag should be able to make a breakthrough, and Goumanzi could not defend the entire front and be foolproof.
"...It's difficult~!"
Upon hearing this, Daishan shook his head first, then breathed a long sigh of relief and expressed his feelings.
The two red flags dispatched a total of eight Jia La, plus the three Jia La from the Zhengbai flag, for a total of eleven Jia La.
Although Gadahun was later sent to lead a Jia La to reinforce Duduo, it had little to do with the outcome of the battle.
The three-banner men and horses fought with the dog barbarians for two hours, but the result is that the army is still in place.
It's not that he didn't make any progress, but that he rushed forward and was blocked by the barbarian.
After doing this many times, the flag soldiers lost their physical strength and morale.
At dawn, Daishan saw that there was no hope of victory and decided to withdraw his troops.
"Second brother, how are the losses?"
Dorgon already knew that Zhengbai Banner had lost more than 700 armored soldiers, and he also guessed that the two red flags that had been charging ahead would inevitably suffer much greater losses than his own troops.
"After counting in the morning, our flag has lost 2,400 armored soldiers, and the red flag has lost 2,500 armored soldiers!"
The two red flags combined killed nearly five thousand armored soldiers, which made Duduo feel incredible. If Daishan hadn't said it himself, everyone present would not believe it at all.
Although everyone knows that there are many injuries and few deaths, we can't let the flag soldiers drag their injured legs and hold their injured arms into battle to kill the barbarians, right?
Now that he is injured, he can no longer charge and kill. It is not an exaggeration to assume that he has suffered a battle loss. The specific casualties are a private matter and can only be known to the flag owner.
Daishan didn't believe that his subordinates could be so incompetent at first, but no matter how powerful the flag soldiers were, they couldn't withstand the explosive sticks that the dog barbarian kept throwing down.
If you charge here, throw it from the other side!
Not only throwing mallets, but also artillery, oil drums, blunderbuss, crossbows, and spears!
In short, Wang Shi would lose hundreds of armored soldiers every time he charged. After charging several times in one night, he lost so many armored soldiers.
Unbeknownst to others, Daishan was frightened by this explosive mallet and was no longer willing to lose his troops.
"Have the second brother's men ever encountered an explosive package?"
Duduo also wanted to find some psychological balance, so he mentioned the matter in public.
"...No! Is there such a thing?"
Daishan was shocked when he heard this. After being surprised, he thought for a moment and guessed that Duduo's men had encountered such a strange object.
"Exactly! Two thousand explosive packages were thrown at Yudi's troops. The power of one package is equivalent to ten mallets!"
Duduo even suspected that the flag soldiers in the mountains had not come into close combat with the dog barbarians at all, and were completely blown back by such objects.
"……really???"
Daishan calculated in his mind, wouldn't two thousand packages be equivalent to twenty thousand mallets? Is this okay?
"Absolutely true!"
Duduo's intention was to give Daishan a warning first, so that he would not encounter such an object when Lianghongqi attacked again and come back to complain about him.
Moreover, if Dai Shan is to know the difficulty and retreat, no one will send troops, and if the news reaches the emperor, then there will be no punishment. Anyway, if anyone doesn't believe it, then just bring the troops and try it.
Not to mention two thousand packages, even one package thrown at your feet can explode you into a hornet's nest!
"Hiss...this...fourteenth brother! In your opinion, what should the army do?"
Daishan didn't know whether he should continue to fight. If it was a stalemate, should he report to the emperor as above? Besides, Azige and Geng Zhongming’s troops have not received any battle reports yet.
Just when Daishan thought of these two people, Azig and Geng Zhongming entered Dorgon's Chinese army tent, and their expressions naturally didn't look good.
"How's the battle going?"
Dorgon did not immediately reply to Daishan's questions, and was now eager to learn about the battle situation on the Eastern Front.
"Our unit has lost nearly a thousand soldiers!"
Fortunately, they evacuated quickly, otherwise the losses would have increased. Azig's troops only suffered losses of two Niulu, but now everyone was here, so they naturally looked like they had fought a bloody battle with the dog barbarians. Just report more battle losses.
"Come back to the commander, I have lost no less than 3,000 soldiers!"
Geng Zhongming was also a very thoughtful person. When he heard Azig's report, he understood it and directly made up a round number and told Dorgon and everyone else.
