Hearing this, Kong Youde also subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the pass. A complicated look flashed in his eyes. He turned back and responded respectfully: "Prince He Shuorui led 100,000 troops into the pass, and the harvest will be certain." A lot!"
"I think so too." After hearing this, Huang Taiji nodded and said, "This time, I will personally come to provide support. The Ming army here in Shanhaiguan will definitely not have a single soldier enter the pass. Besides, he has always been doing things. , I am rest assured and believe that I will get the harvest I expect!"
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Jinzhou City, his face returned to seriousness and said: "No matter what, we still have to try to capture Jinzhou City. If Ming Dynasty has reinforcements, we must also try to eliminate them. Be prepared!" "
"My slave obeys the order!" Kong Youde responded immediately after hearing this, and decisively went back to urge his men to prepare for the bombardment of Jinzhou City.
Huang Taiji naturally didn't know that the Prince He Shuorui he was looking forward to, the Dorgon who had always made him feel at ease when doing things, was now in trouble.
Originally, he didn't care about King Qin's army in the south of Ming Dynasty at all, and went to rest on his own. However, before he could wake up naturally, he was woken up by his bodyguard.
"Master, the Ming army's offensive in the south is fierce. Our army cannot resist it. The Ming army is approaching Jinan City, which is only about twenty miles away."
When he was first woken up, he thought Lu Xiangsheng was coming to trouble him. But thinking that it couldn't be that fast, I was a little confused. Now that he heard that it was the army from the south of the Ming Dynasty, he was even more puzzled.
Dorgon was still a little sleepy and hadn't slept well for a long time. When he fell asleep, he felt very tired. But when he heard that it was only about twenty miles away from Jinan City, he was suddenly awakened. He immediately got up from the camp bed and asked with a stern face: "What's going on? Hasn't this king already ordered more troops to be sent?" Did they intercept and defeat the Ming army?"
If the Ming army approaches Jinan and the city is still being looted, it will basically be a chaotic situation where the soldiers cannot find the generals and will not be able to find the soldiers. It is difficult to effectively issue military orders. If they are attacked by the Ming army, trouble will occur.
"Master, it's not that we haven't sent more troops, but this Ming army seems to be even more elite than Guan Ning's army."
Guan Ning's army can be said to be the most elite among the Ming army. However, when encountering the Manchu and Qing armies, they are often besieged for reinforcements. As long as they fight in the field, they will be defeated! Generally speaking, Guan Ning's army can only defend the city.
But at this time, Dorgon heard that the Ming army was very ferocious in field battles, and he heard that the Qing Dynasty seemed to have suffered a loss, which shocked him.
He immediately signaled to the other guards to put on his clothes, and at the same time continued to ask: "Have you found out the banner of this Ming army? How many troops are there?"
"It has been found that it is the banner of the Yongwei Battalion under the jurisdiction of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty's personal army, with a number of about 12,000 people."
When Dorgon heard this, he stopped what he was doing and asked with some confusion: "Yongwei Camp? Is it that powerful?"
At this moment, he wanted to find someone familiar with the situation and ask for specific information. However, Shanxi merchant Fan Yongdou had already returned. The General Banner of Jinyiwei who was captured and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty was not brought with him. He stayed with Du Du, so there was no one he could ask questions about.
In fact, the Yongwei Battalion had not fought against the Manchu and Qing troops before this, and had been suppressing bandits everywhere. Moreover, although the original Yongwei camp was considered the elite of the Ming Dynasty, they were not as desperate as this time.
But the reason why we are fighting so hard now is because of Emperor Chongzhen's decree. He killed Wang Zhixin and others in the front, promoted the Yongwei camp supervisors Liu Yuanbin, Lu Jiude and others in the back, and also commended the two leading soldiers, Sun Yingyuan. He Huang was successful and told them that they would be rewarded after returning to Beijing.
Under this situation, both the commander-in-chief and the supervisor must perform well to repay the emperor. For this reason, Ye Bushou discovered that Jinan was captured by the Manchu army and something happened to the vassal king. That was when their brave guard battalion had to contribute. The performance on the battlefield was much more ferocious than before, which is reasonable. Among them.
Dorgon couldn't get the answer he wanted, so he decided to go and see for himself.
So, he immediately ordered to mobilize the reserve troops outside the city, including one thousand Manchu troops directly under him, two thousand each from the Eight Mongolian Banners and affiliated Mongolian tribes, for a total of five thousand troops to go south.
Of course, before leaving, he also issued an order to the Manchu and Qing Eight Banners troops and other troops that were looting in the city to move quickly.
Only about ten miles away from Jinan Mansion, we saw the Ming army staying up all night. They stayed away all night, apparently bypassing the battlefield where the battle was taking place and trying to find out the military situation later.
Dorgon knew that the Ming Dynasty was too big, so it was unrealistic to send troops to drive away these Ming troops who would not be collected at night. It was unrealistic to stop them all here and prevent them from going to Jinan City. Therefore, he didn't care at all and led the army to continue southward.
But before he had passed ten miles, Dorgon saw the two armies fighting in front. Or it can be said that it was not actually a battle, but that the Qing army retreated while fighting, and was obviously defeated by the Ming army.
The Manchu and Qing troops marching south to Jinan City were composed of three parts: the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Empire, and the affiliated Mongolian tribes. With Dorgon leading the army, it is naturally impossible to treat everyone equally. Therefore, good things like entering the city to plunder will naturally be biased towards the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, followed by the Eight Banners of the Mongolia.
Therefore, most of the troops who stayed on the periphery to guard and prepare were people affiliated with the Mongolian tribes. Most of this army sent to intercept the Ming army was an army affiliated with the Mongolian tribe, and its combat effectiveness was the worst among the Manchu armies.
But even so, the scene he saw in front of him surprised Dorgon.
A big flag with the word "yellow" and a big flag with the word "Sun" were actually in front of the formation. In other words, the two generals of the Ming army were soldiers and led the charge. This led to the soldiers of the Ming army fighting bravely.
When did the morale of the Ming army become so high when it faced the Qing army?
Thinking of this, Dorgon immediately thought of someone, Lu Xiangsheng. This kind of situation has only been seen with Lu Xiangsheng. Unexpectedly, there were two more soldiers in the Ming army.
Although he was worried, he could only temporarily suppress it. Dorgon immediately ordered his men to start fighting against the Ming army. It was only after his new force arrived that the battle situation was stabilized, but it failed to repel the Ming army.
Seeing that this Ming army had bright armor and every one of them was an elite soldier, Dorgon knew that more troops must be mobilized.
However, most of the troops are now looting Jinan City and will not be able to withdraw for a while. Even if they withdraw, they probably won't have the morale to fight to the death. What's even worse is that after the Qing army stormed Jinan City, they were busy looting and never had a proper rest. Originally, I thought that the Ming army would not react so quickly, so they did not worry about the resting place.
Now that an elite brave guard camp has appeared so quickly, this matter is a bit tricky!
