It's not that Jierhalang doesn't want to imitate his ancestor's longevity, but he knows that he can't imitate his ancestor's longevity.
Zu Dashou is the commander-in-chief of the Guan Ning Army, and he can make a decision with one word in the Guan Ning Army. However, although he is Prince Zheng of the Qing Dynasty, he cannot make a decision with one word in the Qing Army. On the contrary, the soldiers and horses in the army come from many sources. A different force.
"Of course we can't follow the example of our ancestors." Dorgon said, "I think we should leave a group of soldiers and horses, which can be soldiers and horses of the Han army flag, and leave a group of Eight Banners cavalry to monitor. We can take the rest of the people March faster to avoid the tiger thieves’ pursuit.”
Jierhalang's eyes lit up after hearing this.
He almost forgot about the Han military flag.
The Eight Banners soldiers cannot be sacrificed casually, but the Han Army Flags have no such concerns. Even if all the Han Army Flags die here, they can still form a new Han Army Flags when they return to the Qing Dynasty.
There was no shortage of Han people in the Qing Dynasty, and there was no shortage of Han people willing to join the Han army.
"Just do as you say, Fourteenth, and you will arrange this matter." Jilharang decided to leave this matter to Dorgon. Even if there are any problems after returning, Dorgon will bear them together.
Dorgon said: "Don't worry, Ninth Brother, I will definitely arrange this matter to give us more time to evacuate."
"Okay, hurry up and do it!" Jierhalang was very happy with Dorgon's knowledge.
Dorgon left with Duduo.
On the way back, Duduo said: "Brother Ninth seems not to have said which banner's people should stay. Wouldn't you want Brother Fourteen and your people to stay and watch the Han army flag?"
"It doesn't matter who stays, the key is to get rid of the tiger thieves' pursuit, otherwise everything will be in vain." Dorgon naturally understood Jierhalang's little thoughts, but he couldn't refuse this kind of thing.
Duduo said: "Who are you going to let, Brother Fourteen, stay? Do you want me to stay with some people too?"
"No, I'll just leave a few dozen people from the Zhengbai Banner. It's not like we're going to the battlefield to kill the enemy. We just need to keep an eye on the Han army flag and really deal with the tiger bandit's pursuers." Dorgon refused. Duo.
Duduo asked again: "What do you want me to do?"
Between the two brothers, he felt it was not appropriate for him to do nothing.
"Go and borrow some war horses from the Mongols and bring them back." Dorgon said to Duduo.
Duduo was stunned when he heard this request. He said: "The Mongols have all fled, and there are not many left. At this time, a war horse may save one more life. Are they willing to lend it to us?"
"Although the Mongols fled a lot, many war horses were left behind. You can bring some back and leave them for our people," Dorgon said.
Duduo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "I understand, with horses to travel, we don't have to worry about our own lives like that bitch Zu Dashou, and we can take more people to escape with us. .”
Some of the red-armored soldiers in the Eight Banners can also ride horses, but their equestrian skills are not good and they cannot flexibly kill enemies on horseback. However, there is not much problem in traveling on horseback.
"I will ask my slaves to go to the Mongols to ask for horses." Duduo said.
As the leader of a banner, Duduo had many minions under his command, and soon a team of bagara and white-armored soldiers lined up to go to the Mongols to ask for horses.
When such a team passes by, even if the Mongols don't give it to them, they can still snatch a batch of war horses from the Mongols.
Dorgon began to arrange for the Han Army Flag to intercept the pursuit of the Tiger Flag. At the same time, he found dozens of red-armored soldiers who could ride horses, asked them to ride on the horses that Duduo had found, and told them to keep an eye on the Han Army Flag.
Thousands of Han military flags were all sent out.
Dozens of eight banner soldiers followed the Han army banner as supervisors to supervise the battle.
There were not many cavalrymen on Han Banner's side, most of them were infantry. All the firearms were in the hands of Han Junqi, while the Eight Banners soldiers did not bring any firearms. As for the artillery, they were all left to Han Junqi.
Heavy things like artillery were completely cumbersome when retreating. Neither Dorgon nor Jilhalang wanted to take these heavy guys on the road with them.
Taking advantage of the Han army flag to intercept the tiger-character flag's pursuers, all of them were reserved for the Han army flag to block the pursuers.
The generals of the Han Banner were naturally unwilling to stay and fend off the pursuers, but facing the master of the Eight Banners, they did not dare to disobey him. No matter how reluctant they were, they could only stay. After all, the whole family was living in the Qing Dynasty.
Because most of them were infantry, the Han army flags were deployed directly on the spot. Cannons were pushed to the front of the formation, followed by cannon soldiers using firearms.
This time, in order to deal with Qingcheng, the Qing army brought more than a dozen cannons. Although they were not particularly powerful cannons, and they were not used to attack the city, they were equally useful against dense formations.
When the Han Army Banner was in formation, the pursuers of the Tiger Banner Cavalry Division appeared not far from the Han Army Banner.
Because of Guan Ning's army, it took some time for the cavalry division to catch up.
The cavalry division naturally discovered the Han army flag blocking the front.
Because the Han Army Banner had thousands of soldiers and horses, and a longer front line was deployed, although the front line was a little thinner, it was long enough to avoid the possibility of the cavalry division going around to pursue the Qing army in a short time.
Ma Yunjiu observed the lineup of Han military flags through a monocular telescope from a distance on horseback.
"Damn, even the cannons are ready. It seems to be the Han flag in the Qing army." Ma Yunjiu noticed the cannons in front of the formation and immediately guessed the identity of the enemy who intercepted them.
The cavalry division battalion on the side came up and said: "Shizheng, should we go around and continue to pursue the fleeing Qing army?"
"Forget it, just rush over and eat them. There are only a few thousand infantry, and even some cannons are not a big threat to us. When the cavalry charged, we told our people to spread out and don't get together. The target of the artillery attack." Ma Yunjiu said.
"I understand." The cavalry battalion nodded.
Dealing with this kind of infantry line was not a problem for him. After all, the opponent did not have many firearms and lacked the coordination of formation vehicles, so they could not withstand the charge of the cavalry.
Ma Yunjiu said: "Remember to arrange for two teams of cavalry to pass by from both wings. Although the opponent is the Han flag in the Qing army, it is also the main force of the Qing army. If you can eliminate as many as possible, try to eliminate as many as possible. Go!"
After the arrangements were made, Ma Yunjiu stayed in place with a small group of cavalry and observed the situation on the battlefield.
The two cavalry battalions of the cavalry division began to attack the Han flag line in front.
There is also a cavalry battalion standing on the edge of the battlefield, guarding the cavalry in the Han flag team.
Although the Han military flag of the Qing army had cannons and muskets, it could not compare with the popularity of firearms in the Tiger Flag, and it had no better defense against the cavalry. Facing the charge of the Tiger Flag cavalry, they were killed in just a moment. It was penetrated, and more than a dozen cannons were completely misfired.
