Chapter 10: The Collapse of Heaven II

The canal was not too wide, and Luo Yulong only crossed the canal with thousands of soldiers through the pontoon bridge. I wanted to take over the defeated soldiers, but I didn't want a team of Qing troops to have already been killed, and this group of Qing troops was being killed. The number of Qing troops in this team is not large, but they are all very fierce.

Killed from all the Xia armies, and was extremely bold, not taking the Xia army behind him as a thing at all, and almost rushed to the pontoon bridge.

The pontoon bridge had to be burned as a last resort.

The fire cut off the pontoon, and Luo Yulong's department was safe.

But this fire also cut off the idea of other parts of Bactria retreating through the canal.

Luo Yulong also had a camp east of the canal, but there were only 20,000 soldiers stationed there, and the canal was widened and deepened under Luo Yulong's auspices to facilitate the transportation of grain, so that the canal was almost full of ships.

With these ships here, it will only take a few moments to build a pontoon bridge.

Luo Yulong looked at the blood and fire on the west bank of the canal, and there was already a shout of killing behind him.

Many of these people are old people from Cao Ying, who have followed Luo's father and son for many years, and only then were they trusted by Luo Yulong and stayed by his side, many people and the Great Xia Dynasty have been too deeply implicated, one is honored and one is damaged, so it is definitely not the power of surrender, even if Luo Yulong escaped. They're still fighting.

Everyone is the team of the Luo family, and they are all Luo Yulong's strength. At this time, Luo Yulong's heart was dripping blood. He secretly vowed, "I will come back one day." Surely Dorgon will look good. ”

The order was given to evacuate the camp and head south.

It was also because of the resolute resistance of the Xia army in the camp that even if Dolgon divided them and annihilated them one by one, he fought the next morning before he could be considered to have completely controlled the situation.

"Congratulations to the Regent, for breaking the Southern Dynasty." The generals from all walks of life bowed respectfully, including Ao, and at this moment everyone did not dare to have the slightest disobedience to Dorgon. Even King Zheng did not dare to stand in front of Dolgon, but bowed down to the chief.

Dorgon laughed loudly, "It is also thanks to your efforts that we are here today. ”

To be honest, Dolgon was under a lot of psychological pressure during this period. Compared with Huang Taiji, Dolgon was more than smarter, less tenacious, and a little breathless, and was forced by Luo Yulong to retreat one after another, losing the city and losing the land, one defeat after another. If it weren't for Hong Chengchou's scheming on the side and solving Dolgon's doubts, Dolgon would not have been able to wait for today to fight back.

Today's victory, the heart is gone, and I am naturally very happy.

"We don't dare to take credit, but the regent sees thousands of miles." I don't know who said a word, and the following echoed it.

Dolgon smiled slightly and said, "The first merit of this battle is Mr. Hong, and there is no Mr. Hong's strategy

Victory, that has today's victory. ”

Hong Chengchou's face was flushed, and he looked very complex. People like Hong Chengchou are all power creatures, only with power, his complexion is naturally very good. hurriedly excused himself and said: "Hong's meager strength does not dare to take this credit." ”

Dolgon said, "Why does Mr. Hong have to do this? I will appoint you as the governor of Jiangnan today, and from Prince Yu's southern expedition, the war in Jiangnan will be handed over to you and Duoduo. ”

After Hong Chengchou listened, his heart suddenly understood.

Dolgon couldn't have been out of town for long.

After all, the Manchu royal family still has a trace of authority, and Dolgon is there, so naturally the palace doesn't dare to do anything, but Dolgon is not there, but the palace dares to make some small moves. Dolgon didn't dare not care, he often used the history of gold as a mirror. Naturally, you can't know King Hailing.

Wan Yanliang is also a figure in the Jin Dynasty, that is, Tu Nan is famous, and the backyard is on fire. He was defeated and killed at the hands of the few, and Dorgon had to learn this lesson.

Whether it was to stabilize his power or to prevent the slightest slight, he had no idea of continuing to fight, because the Xia army was coming violently and had to integrate the troops of the whole country, except for Dolgon himself, no one could take on this important task.

Dolgon had to come over, and this summer, the main army was defeated, losing hundreds of thousands of troops, and the situation was very good. Dolgon's prestige has increased greatly, and there are Duoduo, Azig, Prince Zheng and other clan ministers under his command, but when he is in charge, Dolgon naturally has to withdraw.

"Obey." Hong Chengchou said.

Dorgon said, "Brother Wang. ”

Prince Zheng said, "The minister is here." ”

Dolgon said: "I ordered Duoduo to be the general of the expedition to the south, and after capturing Xuzhou, I went south and approached Jiangnan. If you want to come to the Luo family, you will lose your capital, and it will be no big problem to drink the Yangtze River. It's just that Xia Jun is entangled in Luoyang. I ordered you to be the general of the expedition to the west, to lead the people and horses of the headquarters, to converge with the various departments of Shaanxi, to break Yuan Shizhong first, and then to attack Hubei, Wu Sangui is also under the jurisdiction of Brother Wang. As long as the Yangtze River is all in its possession, the Southern Dynasties will not be able to turn up any tricks. ”

Prince Zheng said, "Please rest assured, Prince Regent. ”

Dolgon said: "I instructed Duoduo to pay attention to Zheng Zhilong when fighting Jiangnan, and pay attention to Zhang Xuan when fighting Hubei. The soldiers of the Xia army in the north and south of the river were swept away, but Zhang Xuan still had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. It's a great calamity for me. Brother Wang must remember that this person must not be allowed to live. ”

"Wow." Prince Zheng said loudly.

With the respect of Prince Zheng, he also regarded himself as a subordinate.

Dolgon called Azig over again and said, "Eighth brother, you take the people of your headquarters, don't worry about anything, chase Luo Yulong for me, as long as you take down the Luo family's children, it will be a great achievement." ”

Azig said: "Don't worry, Lao Jiu, I'll do it."

Go. ”

Dolgon frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable with the title of Lao Jiu, but knew that Azig had always been like this. It's better to be obedient than Duoduo. This is also the reason why the relationship between Dolgon and Dordor, the three brothers of the same mother, is higher than the relationship between Dolgon and Azig.

"If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, Luo Yulong can't make any waves, it's not too late to take a break and chase after it." Dorgon said.

The reason why Dolgon said this was not that he really felt that Luo Yulong couldn't make any big waves, but that the combat power of the Qing army had reached its limit.

From assaulting the front army that night to attacking Luo Yulong's imperial camp.

After marching dozens of miles in the wind and snow and fighting fiercely for two days, most of the physical strength of the Qing army was overdrawn. No matter how strong the Eight Banners soldiers are, they are still people, not machines. In doing so, Dorgon also cherished the Eight Banners.

Even in a resounding victory, Dorgon noticed that the losses of the Eight Banners were not small.

The defeat of the Xia army was not due to the defeat in combat strength, whether it was Gao Jie's department or Luo Yulong's department, they were not in the state when they were fighting. But even so, under the Xia army's desperate backlash, the Eight Banners lost at least thousands of people. As for the Eight Banners of the Han Army, the Mongolian cavalry, etc., which followed the battle, suffered more losses.

But none of this was seen by Dorgon.

After the Eight Banners entered the customs, there were many Tianding, but they were all juniors, and they had not yet grown up, and what the Eight Banners could really rely on was when they entered the customs, when they first entered the customs, there were a total of 120,000 horses in the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Thousands of losses are already broken, and they can't be damaged anymore.

Azig also understood, and immediately let the various divisions rest in place, selected thousands of Mongolian cavalry, and let them pursue them.

Different Mongol cavalry had different attitudes towards the Qing court. The Mongols who were incorporated into the Mongolian Eight Banners can already be regarded as Manchurians, after all, the upper and lower classes have intermarriages, and they are all family, and the Mongolian cavalry from Mengxi is just a mercenary, and they have little loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, and they are all looking at the face of the white flowers.

So they didn't have much intention to serve the Manchus, so they crossed the canal to chase very quickly, but they were defeated very quickly, and they just caught up with Luo Yulong, and they were defeated by Luo Yulong. had to be defeated and retreated.

By that time, it was already a day later.

At this time, Dolgon was no longer in the camp, and after Dolgon returned to the front camp, he incorporated a part of the surrendered army into the Han army, and the other was placed under the jurisdiction of Li Chengdong. Let Lee Sung-dong play under Azig.

Azig naturally would not be polite, and immediately ordered Li Chengdong to be the vanguard and pursue Luo Yulong. Azig took his headquarters to chase after Li Chengdong.

In this way, the Qing army was roughly divided into three routes, chasing behind Luo Yulong all the way, trying to intercept Luo Yulong all the way from Xuzhou, and going straight to Henan. A large-scale southward pursuit began.
