"Guan Ning's army was attacked and the whole army collapsed?"
At dusk on December 14, Zhang Cheng's troops quietly sneaked back to the old camp of Julu Jiazhuang. Unexpectedly, the Qing army had completely withdrawn. Not even a Qing army sentry or cavalry was seen in the entire Jiazhuang area. It seems that they are also afraid of this killing field full of dead bodies.
Just now, Zhang Cheng, Chen Zheng, Zhang Guodong and others heard the news from the night guard.
Zhang Cheng reorganized his soldiers for the first time in the dense forest beside the Fuyang River.
In addition to the 227 infantry and wounded soldiers led by Chen Dakuan to harvest the deer, Zhang Cheng also had more than 690 cavalry under his command.
He organized these more than 690 knights into three groups, each consisting of two large sentries with 300 men. Chen Zheng served as the left sentry commander, and Zhang Guodong served as the right sentry commander.
Zuo Shao Shao Commander Chen Zheng concurrently serves as the first general commander, the second general commander is served by the former Zuo Shao A General Commander Wan Guangjin, and the third general commander is served by the former Zuo Shao Shao A General Commander Hu Dayou.
The right post is also set up in this way. Zhang Guodong is the first commander, the second commander is always the former back post B commander Wang Tieren, and the third commander is always the former right post A commander Tong Shoushan.
In addition, a Chinese military sentry was added. Zhang Cheng took back all the non-commissioned soldiers under his command and formed a Chinese military sentry team. People like Niu Sheng, Dahou and Liu Jinhai were all included in the Chinese military sentry team. Currently, there are more than 80 cavalrymen. , organized into eight sentry teams, with Chen Zhong serving as the sentry commander of the Chinese military sentry.
There are also three army doctors, two veterinarians, and three blacksmiths, plus the only two Zhenfu sergeants left. These ten people are temporarily under the supervision of Zhenfu He Biao.
The news of Gao Qiqian's defeat of Guan Ning's army was brought back by the night guard team led by Liu Jinhai.
At this moment, Liu Jinhai was respectfully reporting to Zhang Cheng and others: "Exactly, General, we intercepted several escaped Guan Ningjun brothers and found out the news.
Dorgon, Haoge and other slave chiefs gathered their captives and rode towards Jize. The Gao Jianjun led his army and wanted to flee west, but they were overtaken by the Tatars ten miles southwest of Jize. The whole army was defeated. Gao Jianjun did not know where to flee. "
Chen Zheng cursed angrily: "Yes, you really deserve it. If the eunuch didn't save my Xuan Dajun, will he be punished now?"
Zhang Guodong also sighed: "What retribution!"
Zhang Cheng just sat quietly, while Chen Zhong stood beside Zhang Cheng as before, saying nothing.
In the original history, Gao Qiqian also supported his troops and refused to save him. After hearing that Lu Xiangsheng was defeated and died, he led tens of thousands of Guanning troops to flee in panic without firing an arrow.
But in history, they originally wanted to flee west, but instead walked east. As a result, they were ambushed by the Qing army, and the entire army was defeated. They fled alone.
This time, he fled to the southwest and was overtaken by the captive cavalry again. The whole army was defeated again, so Gao Qiqian still escaped alone.
Zhang Cheng shook his head, stood up and ordered: "Spread out Ye Buzai, run further away, and explore more of Guan Ning's army."
Then, he turned around and said softly: "Try your best to check Gao Qiqian's whereabouts!"
Chen Zhong responded and left without saying much.
…………
Effortlessly, he easily defeated tens of thousands of Guan Ning's troops and even used up all their food, grass and baggage.
Although most of Guan Ning's army were cavalry and were accustomed to escaping, they did not have many casualties in this battle. However, they captured a lot this time. This Guan Ning army was indeed much richer than Lu Xiangsheng's Xuan army.
Julu and Jize were victorious in consecutive battles, and the two armies of the Ming Dynasty in the capital were defeated. The Qing army's arrogance once again reached the extreme, and they resumed their incomparable contempt for the Ming army.
Moreover, the Mongolian Deke Class Department of the foreign vassal under Hauge also brought back a piece of news that shocked Dorgon, Hauge and others.
"Lu Xiangsheng is dead?"
Hauge said loudly: "It's true that De Kelei captured Qian Zong, a pro-military subordinate of Bai Guang'en, the Ming commander-in-chief. According to his account, Gao Qiqian panicked and panicked just after learning the news of Lu Xiangsheng's death. He quickly led his troops to flee."
"No wonder his governor's seal was confiscated by us. It seems that Lu Xiangsheng is really dead!"
Dorgon looked thoughtful.
Hauge even said: "It's a pity that Lu Xiangsheng's body was not found, otherwise..."
Dorgon glanced at Hauge and said, "That's it. It's over. Don't mention it again."
He glanced at the Qing generals present. They all avoided his gaze, and the fear in their expressions seemed to have increased a lot.
Dorgon was satisfied, so he actively besieged Xuan Dajun. All banners and ministries suffered heavy losses. Although they were finally defeated, the gains captured were extremely shabby, and the participating Qing generals also complained a lot.
Although Lu Xiangsheng's governor's seal was also obtained, it was of little use. Now that everyone knew that Lu Xiangsheng had indeed died in Julu, Dorgon's prestige in the eyes of the Qing generals who led the banners had unconsciously increased a lot. .
Dorgon said to the Qing generals around him: "Lu Xiangsheng is dead, Xuan's army has been crippled by us, Guan Ning's army has been defeated, and the Ming Dynasty has no more soldiers who dare to fight. Taking advantage of this vigor, we can divide our troops to plunder."
He continued: "However, the Jinan of the Ming Dynasty is really in ruins. We should think carefully about where to plunder next."
…………
In Jia Zhuang, sparse bonfires were lit, and more than 600 sergeants were still busy. They had cleared most of the village, and many corpses of Xuan Dajun were gathered together. It was too cold to bury them, so they had to be cremated on the spot.
Zhang Cheng took the risk and sneaked back to Jiazhuang in order to find the body of his uncle, Xuanzhen Counselor Zhang Yan. Otherwise, how would he face his mother and aunt at home when he returned to Xuanfu Town.
Zhang Yan's Chinese military sentry commander Lin Zhiyi lay on Zhang Yan's body. At the end of his life, he still guarded Zhang Yan's body. He died with more than 20 arrows in his body, and many more arrows fell on him. His surroundings were deeply embedded in the earth.
Zhang Cheng also collected Lin Zhiyi's body, intending to take it back to Xuan Mansion along with Zhang Yan's body and return it to his family.
The sergeants also rummaged through some damaged tents, carts, etc. Zhang Cheng ordered them to dig out all the materials they could collect and repair them and still use them. For him, everything was good now.
After dark, some Guan Ning's defeated troops escaped one after another. These Guan Ning's defeated troops lost all their supplies and ran desperately for a long distance, including men and horses. They were all tired and hungry, especially in this cold winter weather. Unbearable outside.
Zhang Cheng and others had long hated Gao Qiqian and Guan Ning's troops and ignored them.
Moreover, Zhang Cheng and his men had no food and fodder, and had no ability to help them. They just asked the sergeants to strictly guard Jiazhuang and not allow Guan Ning to break his troops and enter.
The defeated troops of Guan Ning also wanted to enter Jiazhuang at first, but they were hit by a merciless burst of fire cannons. They screamed and ran away.
These Guan Ning defeated soldiers cursed angrily, and Zhang Cheng ignored them. In the dark night, some who could not run found a place near Jiazhuang to escape the bitter cold at night. Around Jiazhuang, there were some sparse fires , which they lit to keep out the cold.
…………
The next day, when it was still dark, Chen Zhong went to Zhang Cheng and reported the intelligence he had picked up last night, which immediately made Zhang Cheng sleepless.
