The sound of horse hooves did not come from the direction of Yaozhouyi, but from the camp outside the city.
Dorgon immediately heard the sound and looked, only to find that it was in the direction of Haug's camp. Immediately, he knew something was wrong.
Sure enough, soon a bodyguard rushed over and reported: "Your Highness, it's bad, Prince Su ran away first!"
We agreed to run away together in half an hour, so that there would be a suddenness and everyone could evacuate together. Obviously, Hauge didn't want to wait for others and ran away first.
When Dorgon heard this, he was furious, but there was nothing he could do about it.
His side is where the Chinese army is located, and he is in charge of the entire war. Therefore, there are most things going on, and he is not ready to leave yet! Suddenly, Hauge ran away first, and what Ming Jun shouted was confirmed. If the others didn't run away, they would be in trouble.
With no other choice, Dorgon immediately issued an order, and the thirty-six tactics were the best, and he quickly retreated!
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the place where the horses were parked.
However, as soon as Dorgon got on his horse, he heard a personal guard asking him for instructions: "Master, what should I do with those people?"
Dorgon looked up when he heard the sound, only to see that he was pointing to the chiefs of those tribes.
Dorgon knew that he had completely lost faith in these people. Or to put it bluntly, after the Qing Dynasty and other ethnic groups, there was nothing to say. Basically, it's an enemy relationship.
After understanding this, he did not hesitate and immediately shouted coldly: "Cut it off!"
As soon as Dorgon finished speaking, he heard the rumble of horse hooves again. He turned around and saw that Yue Tuo's men were also running away.
This is so cool, don’t even run away!
So Dorgon immediately hit his horse and ran away without saying a word.
The originally planned retreat did not go as planned and became a hasty escape again. It can be said that nothing goes as planned! With this thought in his mind, Dorgon leaned down on the horse and turned to look at the head of Yaozhou Post City in the distance, his eyes filled with hatred.
When Hauge's troops began to flee, the troops of other ethnic groups were stunned for a moment, then came to their senses and realized what the Ming army had just shouted, that the Manchurians were going to rob food and horses and escape.
They absolutely cannot agree to this matter. Whether it's food or horses, it's something that matters to life. As a result, almost all the soldiers of all ethnic groups ran to their own camps to grab something back after a fight with the Ming army.
The soldiers belonging to Hauge's command knew that since Hauge had run away, he would definitely not leave anything behind, so they ran towards other camps that had not yet run away, trying to grab as many things as they wanted.
As a result, Yue Tuo's subordinates ran away again, and Dorgon's subordinates also ran away...
Seeing the Manchurians running away, everyone became anxious. Some Mongolians on the battlefield had horses, because they were cavalry and wanted to attack the Ming army, so they rushed as fast as possible to the camp, hoping to intercept something.
As a result, I really didn't expect that I actually caught a big fish. Before the slave chief Azig could escape, he was blocked in the camp.
Speaking of which, this is also caused by poverty.
Among these slave chiefs, Azig was the most pitiful. All his own troops were lost in the battle of Guihua City. After returning to Liaodong, he had no military power for a long time. Even during the Battle of the Grasslands, he was just a prince in name only.
It was not until this war that Dorgon assigned him some troops and horses, and asked him to lead the follow-up troops to Haizhou for reinforcements, and he became a prince with real power.
However, even so, his strength is naturally the weakest. To Azig, every soldier, every war horse, and every bag of grain was precious. Therefore, he wanted to take away as much as possible.
As a result, several other slave chiefs just took most of their things and ran away in a hurry. Only Azig was still there worrying about everything and wanted to take everything away. As a result, he was blocked.
When they saw Azig and his more than 5,000 men, carrying bottles and cans on their backs and trying to escape, the soldiers of other tribes suddenly became angry. Sure enough, as the Ming army said, he was sold by the Jurchens!
Soldiers from other tribes rushed over, and soon they were surrounded by water.
At first, Azig relied on his identity to scold these slaves to get out of the way, which aroused even greater anger. So, he ordered to forcefully open a way.
He only had more than 5,000 troops, most of whom were not elites; but what he faced was an increasing number of soldiers from other tribes, which were ten times as many as him. They were angry after discovering that they had been deceived. Azig's move immediately found an outlet for their anger.
Just like that, the two parties started fighting.
At Anshan Station, the Ming army was watching the excitement. What was originally thought to be a big battle turned out to be like this, which made many soldiers who came with them feel that they were not coming to Liaodong to fight, but to watch a monkey show in Liaodong!
At the top of Anshan Post City, He Renlong looked at the chaos outside the city and couldn't help but tell Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, there is chaos outside. The general is willing to lead his troops to kill them all without leaving a trace!"
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen did not answer his words. Instead, he turned to look at the guerrilla general Li Dingguo, the commander-in-chief of the war, and asked him with a smile: "What do Li Qing think?"
Li Dingguo did not look at Congratulations to Renlong, but responded respectfully to Emperor Chongzhen: "The general thought, let them fight first. If they kill the Jurchens, then they will have no way back, and they will not go with the Jurchens again." Collude together. Also, we are not afraid that they will run away after the fight."
Having said this, he paused and then said: "As your Majesty said, if the Jianlu prisoners escaped with their grain and horses, these people outside the city would have no other way to survive but to surrender to our Ming Dynasty. In this way, our army Just sit back and reap the benefits, and wait until the end to clean up the mess."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, the smile on his face became a little thicker, and then he asked him again: "Then Jianlu escaped, do you think you need to send troops to chase him?"
"Don't chase!" Li Dingguo immediately shook his head after hearing this and said, "Our army does not have much food and grassland. If we accept so many surrendered soldiers outside the city, there will definitely be no food left to start the war again. We will even need Gaizhou and Guan Ning. It’s just a matter of helping others on the side.”
Having said this, he hesitated for a while, as if there was something difficult to say, but when he saw Emperor Chongzhen looking at him with a smile and encouraging him, he continued: "Unless our army does not accept these surrendered soldiers, , we can order the hussar battalion to pursue the Jianlu. But the general thinks that, firstly, the enemy should not be pursued when the enemy is exhausted, and secondly, killing so many surrendered soldiers is not in line with the way of our Ming Dynasty."
Emperor Chongzhen had already decided in his heart to accept the surrender of these soldiers outside the city. After all, the Jianlu have not been completely eliminated, there will be wars against the Japanese, and the grasslands have not yet been pacified. In addition, we don't know when we will have to fight against Tsarist Russia. These reduced pawns are just usable, and it would be a pity to kill them.
Therefore, after listening to Li Dingguo's words, he turned to the other generals and said: "You must have heard it, this is what I mean. As for the escaped Jianlu, haha, how can Sun Wukong find out the palm of the Tathagata Buddha?" !”
There is an eavesdropping system, and several slave chiefs have Class-A eavesdropping seeds on their bodies. I am really not afraid that they will cause trouble!
At this time, although "Journey to the West" already existed, it was also widely spread. However, not many of the general soldiers present had heard of it. However, they probably still understood the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen's words. At this time, they had quite strong confidence in the emperor, so naturally no one would object.
Therefore, the Ming army continued to watch the situation with a smile on their own front, watching the chaos at the Jianlu camp.
It was time to eat at noon, and all the soldiers continued to watch the commotion outside while eating steamed buns and other things. The soldiers below all smiled and even made comments.
The armies of various clans outside were abandoned by their masters, and all their clan leaders were killed. That was crazy. When everything was over, they came to their senses. What should they do next? For a moment, they were all a little confused.
But soon, after coming back to his senses, he immediately thought of surrendering to the Ming army. Anyway, when they surrendered in front of the battle, many tribesmen had already surrendered, and they had no psychological burden. Furthermore, with the Ming army now so powerful, Liaodong will definitely return to the Ming rule. What else will happen if they don't surrender to the Ming Dynasty?
With this thought in mind, one of them suddenly shouted and asked his companions where the slave chief Azig was? Isn’t it good to dedicate the slave chief Azig to the Ming emperor?
As a result, they looked around and found that the man they chopped into pieces must be Aisin Gioro Azige!
This time, they were dumbfounded. Then, they discovered that there was no Jurchen alive.
Immediately, those who were flexible immediately cut off the heads of the Jurchens killed by them, preparing to use them to submit their names to the Ming army. When other people see it, they naturally imitate him. It was almost because of this that armies of various ethnic groups started fighting each other.
However, they were all brothers in distress, and in the end, each tribe was assigned some heads to represent their sincerity in surrender. They threw away their weapons, took off their armor, and took the initiative to kneel in front of the Ming army's position, offering the heads of the Jurchens and demanding surrender!
It was only then that Emperor Chongzhen sent people out of the defense line to accept these surrendered soldiers.
However, it is not all accepted directly, but conditionally.
After surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, those who have the heads of captives can become soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and receive the same treatment as ordinary soldiers. Those who do not have the heads of prisoners can only be military slaves. Only those who have achieved military merit, in other words, those who have the heads of prisoners can be relieved of their status as military slaves and become officers and soldiers of the Ming army. In addition, those who have served in the Ming army for three years can also be converted into real Ming soldiers. This is the price they paid for helping the evildoers in the past!
Although the armies of all ethnic groups were disappointed in this regard, it was within the scope of their understanding. After all, if there is a war between them, they cannot surrender empty-handed. Those who have no merit at all can get normal treatment.
However, they were extremely envious when they looked at those members of the same clan who offered their heads and could officially become members of the Ming army. Many people regretted that they should have grabbed the head just now.
At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen issued another decree. It is said that there are soldiers spying for horses within a hundred miles. If they can capture these spying horses, one person can liberate two people; the one who gets the head can also be turned into a regular official.
As soon as this decree came out, there was an immediate commotion among the armies of all ethnic groups.
Let them chase Dorgon's army, but they feel they don't have the ability to snatch heads. However, it is obviously impossible for the Tanma scattered everywhere to get the news here so quickly, and there are only a few of them. Although they are elite, it is much easier to get their heads.
Not long after this decree was issued, the approximately five thousand cavalry left in the armies of various tribes immediately swarmed out and spread in all directions, starting their hunting journey to claim credit.
Here at Yaozhou Station, these troops began to be reorganized. Of course, the Ming army was responsible for their food. With nearly 100,000 extra mouths at once, the logistics were overwhelming.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen immediately reorganized these troops and sent them to Gaizhou, Jinzhou, and Guanning. If the food is transported here, it will consume a lot of money on the way, so it is better to separate them and eat.
These things take time to arrange. Emperor Chongzhen did not lead the army to pursue Jianlu. However, half of the Hussars battalion was sent out and headed towards Haizhou to expel the Jianlu who followed them, not allowing them a chance to breathe.
Seeing this, Li Dingguo said with a little worry: "Your Majesty, now that the Jianlu army has returned to support Shenyang, what will General Wu do?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "It's okay, they are all cavalry. They will definitely withdraw before Jianlu rushes back."
He had explained this beforehand. Moreover, both Wu Sangui and Kong Youde are used to fighting, and they are also experienced at grasping the timing, so there is no need for him to inform them.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is no way to notify. It's not like some perverted book that was seen in later generations. It can be directly notified by a golden finger similar to the QQ group in the mind. That one is so perverted, no wonder it can colonize the entire earth. If technology keeps up, it may not be a problem to dominate the universe!
On the Gaizhou side, Lu Xiangsheng has been on top of the city, looking in the distance towards Yaozhou Station. Although he had received orders before and had sent a batch of grain and supplies to Yaozhou Station, Jianlu was besieged by nearly 200,000 troops after all. Even if the emperor's troops were all elite, he was still worried.
However, wherever he looked, he couldn't see any movement at Yaozhou Station. He could only see Jianlu's scouting horses outside the city, whizzing by from time to time. There were so many of them, everywhere.
Monitoring Gaizhou is their key task, and there are many along the coastline. It can be seen from this that the slave chief is quite cautious and does not seem to be an easy person to deal with.
After inferring these from the details, Lu Xiangsheng became even more worried. If possible, he would rather switch places with the emperor and let him lead the army. However, the emperor made it clear at that time that he still had to personally command this battle.
There must be a tough battle over there at Yaozhou Station! After all, this is a battle to overwhelm the nation, and it will definitely be fierce!
Lu Xiangsheng was thinking in his mind when he suddenly noticed new movement outside the city!
