Soon... the cavalry artillerymen from the rear have arrived!
Seeing this, Major General Sheng Yushu of the Guards did not wait long and directly ordered the troops to continue the attack!
Although Sheng Yushu's cavalry now has four fewer hussar posts, there are still more than a thousand cavalry!
These more than a thousand cavalry may have been nothing on the entire battlefield not long ago, but after the two sides continued to fight for more than half an hour, and the battle situation was tense now, there were only less than 10,000 cavalry left on the opposite side of the Dongdu Chinese Army headquarters.
These more than a thousand Guards cavalry are enough to affect the outcome of the Chinese army's battle, and thus the outcome of the entire war.
Looking at the East Riding Cavalry coming slowly from the south, Hauge still didn’t know what they wanted to do!
This is to continue the attack and then attack your own flank!
However, he no longer has a strategic reserve under his command, and even the Chinese Army Headquarters cannot allocate troops.
It's going to end...
This is Hauge's first thought!
The second thought is: run away!
Nothing can be done now. If we don't escape, the remaining 10,000 cavalrymen will have to pay for it.
After having this idea, Hauge was still a little hesitant... After such a defeat, he could already imagine how angry his father, Huang Taiji, would be.
By then, the prince's crown on top of his head will probably be removed.
And after losing the battle, it is probably impossible for me to inherit the dragon throne under Huang Taiji in the future.
Hauge was a little afraid of the future and even more unwilling.
But he also knew very well that the consequences of staying here would be even worse.
After hesitating for a moment, when he saw that the Guards cavalry on the opposite side had begun to advance quickly, getting closer and closer, he finally couldn't help but said: "Let's retreat!"
But Haug wanted to order a retreat, but how could an army in the middle of a battle retreat so easily?
Even if the cavalry wants to maintain order and ensure safe retreat, it is not easy!
Since ancient times, the retreat of an army has always been more difficult than an attack. An attack can at best fail, but a bad retreat can turn into a rout!
And Hauge's retreat cannot avoid this objective law~!
When the cavalry of the Guards had already come up to kill them, when the four cavalry brigades of the First Cavalry Corps launched a counterattack, they bit them hard.
As soon as their retreat order was given, it turned into a complete rout!
Because just as they were about to retreat, the Chu cavalry behind them chased them. Especially the 4th Cavalry Brigade gave up their bows and arrows and charged directly with their sabers to chase and kill the fleeing soldiers.
The mountains and fields are filled with cavalry from both sides, and the mountains and fields are filled with dead and wounded soldiers and horses!
Zhu Xingfa and Sheng Yushu each led troops to pursue the Eastern Cavalry for seven or eight kilometers, and killed thousands of enemy troops during the pursuit!
Far more than the number of captives killed during the previous head-on battle between the two sides!
You must know that in the two charge operations of the Guards, the total number of frontal kills and injuries to the enemy was only six to seven hundred cavalry!
As for the head-on battles of the First Cavalry Corps, the number of kills was even smaller. Many were killed by artillery. The cavalry itself did not actually cause much damage.
However, during the pursuit, the Chu cavalry killed at least five or six thousand Dongfeng cavalry, and captured several thousand more, plus the previous killings.
In this battle, the Chu army killed more than 6,000 Dongjiu cavalry and captured more than 6,000 prisoners.
More than 20,000 horsemen were captured, and less than 3,000 were left to accompany Hauge and flee to Guangning in embarrassment. Thousands more were missing and disappeared on the battlefield. However, these missing people were not really missing. , but became a deserter or went into hiding.
In any case, this Dongjiu cavalry was the largest one deployed on the battlefield in Guangning, Liaoxi Province, and it was also the most powerful cavalry among the Dongjiu people. It was completely destroyed within half a day, and only three thousand cavalry were left to escape back to Guangning. Tunwei.
Hauge, who had just escaped to the former garrison, had not had time to face the punishment of defeat when he learned that Huang Taiji, who was in charge of Jinzhou, was unconscious and Dorgon had set up his own country to supervise the country.
As a result, he no longer cared about the battle ahead, but rushed to Jinzhou with the remnants of three thousand cavalry overnight!
The victory or defeat in western Liaoning is of course important, but Huang Taiji is unconscious, and who owns the power of the Qing Dynasty is equally important.
——
The intelligence department of the Great Chu Empire also discovered some clues about the internal changes of the Dongji people.
Although the news of Huang Taiji's unconscious soldiers was completely blocked by the Dongjiu people's top brass, even Hauge, Huang Taiji's eldest son, only learned about it a few days later.
However, some changes caused by Huang Taiji's serious illness still attracted the attention of several intelligence agencies in the Chu Empire in Jinzhou.
As an important strategic city in the Western Liaoning Corridor, Jinzhou has been the key operating area of the intelligence departments of the Chu Army in recent years. Not to mention the serious foreign intelligence department, even the hawks and dogs of the Internal Affairs Department of the Hanlin Academy are looking for excuses to An information station was set up here.
The four major intelligence departments of the Chu Empire, the Military Intelligence Department of the Army Staff Department, the Intelligence Department of the Naval Operations Department, the Investigation Department of the Ministry of Commerce, and the Internal Affairs Section of the Hanlin Academy were all gathered in Jinzhou.
The matter of Huang Taiji's coma was so big that even though the top brass of Dongluo had blocked the news, it was still impossible to really hide it.
The first person to discover the situation was not the Military Intelligence Department, the agency responsible for military intelligence, but the Investigation Department of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, which was ambushing the smuggling trade in Jinzhou.
Investigators from the Investigation Department discovered that a senior official in the Eastern kidnapping regime who had recently engaged in smuggling trade with them was suddenly dismissed...
At first, they thought the smuggling had been exposed. In order to avoid the leakage of the intelligence network, they were approved to carry out urgent finishing work.
But they soon discovered that their smuggling business had not been leaked at all. The Dongji people had not touched their smuggling business at all, and the warehouses of several important contraband were in good order.
Later it was learned that the dismissal order was issued by Dorgon.
But the dismissed high-ranking Dongli officials were Hauge's people...
This is Dorgon taking action against the people of the Hauge faction!
But why does this happen?
The discord between Dorgon and Hauge is not a secret in this country. Even the Chu Empire knows that the relationship between uncle and nephew is extremely bad, and they are all eyeing the position under Huang Taiji's butt.
Hauge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, while Dorgon controls many real powers in Dongji, especially a large amount of military power.
Both sides are very powerful and often fight back and forth, but Huang Taiji is suppressing them from above, so they never go too far, let alone rise to the surface.
But this time, the Investigation Department discovered that Dorgon directly made the conflict between the two public... Not only did he make it public, he also directly dismissed a large number of people and even arrested a group of powerful people in the Haug faction.
This must have happened, otherwise Dorgon would not have dared to be so presumptuous in front of Huang Taiji if he had given him a hundred courages.
Following the urgent investigation by the Investigation Department, a summary analysis was conducted from the clues, and finally a conclusion was reached: Huang Taiji was either dead or unconscious, or in short, he had lost the ability to be a director.
Although life and death are unknown, one thing the Investigation Department is certain of is that Huang Taiji has lost control of the situation due to various reasons. Only in this way can Dorgon become so unscrupulous and directly take over the entire Donglu Center. Cleanse the dignitaries of the Haug faction.
Soon, the news was sent to the front lines in the Shanhaiguan area through secret channels, and then transferred to the hands of Zuo Yingzhe, commander of the Third Army.
"The life and death of the leader of Dongjia is unknown, and he is no longer able to serve as a director. The high-level officials within Dongjia initiated turmoil, and Dorgon established himself as the supervisor of the country!"
Zuo Yingzhe looked at the information in his hand and couldn't help laughing: "God bless me, Chu. Our Great Chu Empire is the real kingdom of heaven, and your majesty is the real son of destiny!"
"Haha, if something happens sooner or later, something will happen. But it happens when our army launches the Liaoxi Campaign. God is helping us!"
"Send the order and ask the brothers to work harder and launch a general attack on Zhongqiansuo tomorrow. Also, remember to spread the news and let the Japanese captives in Zhongqiansuo City know that their puppet emperor is dead. , Dorgon is fighting with Hauge for the throne!"
"Ha ha……"
After Zuo Yingzhe got the news, he was in a very good mood.
At such a critical moment, Huang Taiji was unable to take charge, and Hauge and Dorgon were fighting internally. This was simply a God-given opportunity. If I couldn't seize it in time, I would be ashamed of Your Majesty!
At this time, Zuo Yingzhe still didn't know that the reason why Huang Taiji didn't get into trouble sooner or later was that the accident happened at this critical moment was because Huang Taiji learned about the news that Zuo Yingzhe led hundreds of thousands of troops to escape from the border. Huang Taiji couldn't bear it anymore and fell into a coma!
During this period, Huang Taiji's health has not been very good in recent years. Especially in the past two years, the pressure has increased and his health has become worse and worse.
Last year, the Chu army captured the Liaodong Peninsula, and it is still entrenched in the Liaodong Peninsula. The hinterland of Shenyang is always facing the threat of the Chu army's front.
Not long ago, the Mongolian Association in Monan launched a turmoil. The Tumote tribe directly defected to the Chu barbarians. Now they have entered the eastern part of the Monan grassland with the Chu cavalry and headed straight for Liaohe Tao.
Under such circumstances, it is conceivable that Huang Taiji, who was responsible for the entire Eastern Ban, was under great pressure.
Immediately afterwards, Zuo Yingzhe led an army of more than 100,000 people into the Liaoxi Corridor and became the last giant tree to overwhelm Huang Taiji!
He was directly suppressed until he was unconscious!
Naturally, Colonel Zuo Yingzhe, the commander of the Third Army, did not know these inside stories. He did not need to know these inside stories. He only needed to know that Huang Taiji, who controlled the real power of the East Capture and suppressed a group of princes, princes, princes, and Baylors below, was unable to govern. Will suffice.
Without Huang Taiji's pressure, the Dongji people were in chaos within minutes, let alone the unified deployment of troops everywhere as usual.
Now, what their Third Army has to do is to take advantage of this opportunity, increase their efforts, kill the enemy in front of them in one go, and occupy the Western Liaoning Corridor.
The next day, the well-prepared Chu army launched a general attack on Zhongqian Post.
