For seven days, under the leadership of Xiao Tianjian, the Dazhong Army went out of the customs to pursue the Jiannu army for seven days, along the way, the Huang Taiji supervised the soldiers along the way and fought and retreated, and constantly sent troops to intercept the Dazhong Army that followed the pursuit, and the Emperor Taiji ordered the palace to be mostly the Han soldiers of the Han Eight Banners in the Jiannu army, and the rest were Mongols and some Koreans who were requisitioned.

Occasionally, Huang Taiji would send some bannermen of the Manchurian Eight Banners to stay behind the palace, but most of these leftover Eight Banners soldiers were people who supervised the war, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they would immediately leave those Han soldiers or Mongolian soldiers and Korean musketeers, and flee quickly on horseback.

The result of this is that the remnants of the Han army of Jiannu are constantly consumed on the road of retreat, and these Han soldiers and Mongolian soldiers who have long been demoralized, even if they leave behind the palace, they are often after catching up with the Dazhong army, and then they will collapse at the touch of a button, and even some of the Han soldiers who stayed behind did not let go of a shot, and they directly cut off the Jiannu soldiers who supervised them, and surrendered to the Dazhong army, while the Mongols were mostly cavalry, and after being ordered to stay, they often immediately turned their horses and fled, and fled back to the Mongolian steppe.

Jiannu thoroughly experienced, the taste of being chased and killed behind, more than 100,000 Jiannu army four days later withdrew to Ningyuan City, which has been reduced to ruins, but at this time, the Jiannu army is only less than 80,000 horses, among the 80,000 Jiannu army, more than 40,000 people are the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and the rest are some followers, cloth slaves, and the Han soldiers of the Han Eight Banners who went out with the army, on the way, were basically consumed, except for the Sanshun King who was lucky not to be killed by the Dazhong Army, the rest of Li Shutai, Bayan and other leaders of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, died along the way, died and died, and when it came to Ningyuan, the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty had basically ceased to exist this time, and as for the Mongolian Eight Banners, they left the team and fled back to the grassland.

Huang Taiji is still bleeding nosebleeds along the way, his heart can be said to be painful like a knife, think about their Qing Dynasty since the time when Nurhachi raised troops with thirteen pairs of armor, to now it can be said that after a hundred battles, although there are victories and defeats, it is not all smooth sailing, but since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there has never been such a defeat, under the control of his Huang Taiji, they gradually wiped out the power of the entire Liaodong Ming Dynasty, and expanded the army to 200,000 people.

But this time, Huang Taiji never thought that he was ambitious, almost all the available troops in Liaodong went south, and wanted to take this opportunity to enter the customs and compete for the world with the Dazhong Army, but he didn't think about it, and was blocked by the Dazhong Army in advance at Shanhaiguan, and the result fell short.

Retreating all the way, all the Jiannu are as good as mourning Kaoyan, the kind of sharpness when they went south at the beginning has already been exhausted by this time, and they just want to return to their Liaodong as soon as possible, and never fight with these terrible Dazhong troops again.

In order to delay the pursuit of the Dazhong Army, although Huang Taiji left behind a group of Han soldiers, Mongolian soldiers and Koreans, he knew that with these miscellaneous soldiers who had been frightened by the Dazhong Army, he would not be able to stop the Dazhong Army, so he had to order the Eight Banners cavalry under his command to constantly attack and harass the Dazhong Army, trying to rely on their strong cavalry to delay the pursuit of the Dazhong Army.

But what disappointed them was that these Jianzhou cavalry, which they were proud of, did not show their ferocity, repeatedly turned around and counterattacked, and all returned home, what made them worry was that they found that the Dazhong Army now also has a cavalry that can directly compete with them, and the cavalry of the Dazhong Army showed that the combat effectiveness was not weaker than the strongest Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, and even compared to their Jiannu cavalry, they did not show weakness, after repeated battles, The Jiannu cavalry who had beaten them all threw away their armor and fled.

Even the famous general of Jiannu who was ordered to stay to block the Dazhong Army was inlaid with a white flag in front of Gushan Ezhen Turge, on the third day after the evacuation of Shanhaiguan, he was also thirty miles south of Ningyuan City, leading two thousand Jiannu cavalry, which was blocked by four battalions of cavalry led by Wang Chengping, the general of the Dazhong Army, after a fight, Turg died on the spot, becoming the highest slave chief of Jiannu loss on the road to Liaodong, and he led the more than 2,000 people in the Gebush Xian camp with a white flag, and finally less than 700 people broke through and fled back to the Jiannu army. It shocked everyone in Jiannu.

Dai Shan and Zilharang asked for their lives many times, wanting to ask Huang Taiji to give up retreating and lead the army to turn back and fight to the death with the Dazhong army that pursued them, but Huang Taiji did not agree.

After seeing the ferocity of the Dazhong Army with his own eyes, Huang Taiji has seen that this Dazhong Army, which is good at using firearms, is no longer comparable to the Guanning Army outside the Guan, in the face of the strange formation of the Dazhong Army, Huang Taiji thought about it again and again, and did not come up with a good strategy to defeat the enemy, they are like a fire-breathing dragon, almost making people unable to find their weaknesses.

Moreover, the generals of the Great Chinese Army are not like the generals of the Ming Army, each has their own small abacus, most of them do not dare to fight, and the situation is slightly bad, so they lead their troops to flee, regardless of the overall situation! And these generals of the Dazhong Army, under the command of their emperor Xiao Tianjian, can be said to be like an arm, unusually united, and no one has ever escaped from the battle, which makes Jiannu even more unable to start.

On the way to retreat, Huang Taiji once sent a fierce general, Ao Bai, who was awarded the name of Baturu, led a group of 500 Bayala soldiers, and ambushed a large army of only more than 200 people on the way.

But what surprised Ao Bai was that when he led his troops to suddenly surround the forward of this small large Chinese army, more than 200 soldiers of this large Chinese army, seeing that there was no hope of escaping, actually did not give up, under the leadership of one of its generals, the hedgehogs gathered together, and actually started a desperate battle with the 500 Baya soldiers led by Aobai, making full use of their firearms and phalanxes, under the onslaught of Aobai's troops, they held on for a whole hour before they all died, and these more than 200 large Chinese generals, In the end, no one knelt down and surrendered, until all the soldiers were killed, and more than 200 of them successfully killed and wounded more than 100 Bayala soldiers before they were destroyed.

What is the concept of the Baya Soldier? That is the strongest soldier in Jiannu, not just with courage can describe them, these Bayala soldiers are all one in a thousand, from the Jiannu flags, the best soldiers selected are the elite of the Jiannu army, everyone is very good at fighting, when they go into battle, everyone is wearing three layers of armor, it is simply a human tank, it is a rare heavy cavalry, when dealing with the Ming army, often with a small number of Baya soldiers, after the charge, the Ming army basically can't parry, There will be a collapse of the whole army, this kind of Baya La soldier is regarded by Jiannu as a treasure at the bottom of the box, but I didn't expect that eating a small team of more than 200 people in a large Chinese army would actually make them pay more than 100 casualties, even when Ao Bai led the troops back to Huang Taiji's side, they all knelt on the ground and asked for guilt, and Huang Taiji was distressed and almost wanted to vomit blood, and scolded Ao Bai, if it weren't for the fact that Ao Bai had followed him over the years to make repeated military exploits, Huang Taiji really even had the heart to kill him.

Through these few battles with the Dazhong Army, Huang Taiji has sadly found that the cavalry tactics that they Jianzhou Jurchens are proud of and their strong bows and arrows, and now they have finally met the nemesis, the tactics of the Dazhong Army's infantry military phalanx, so that they have no choice, even if they use their strongest Bayala soldiers, in the case of an absolute advantage in numbers, eating such a small group of people on the other side has also paid a huge price, he dare not imagine that if he fights a decisive battle, in the end, how many clansmen will they have left.

Therefore, when the contemporary good and other slave chieftains proposed a U-turn and decisive battle, Huang Taiji did not accept it at all, and ordered to speed up the retreat, saying that he could not fight a decisive battle with the Dazhong army here.

How many soldiers and horses do they have in the Qing Dynasty! This time, the Great Chinese Army went north, although it seems that Xiao Tianjian did not bring many troops, but they controlled such a large territory, how could the troops behind them be a minority? And the remaining 80,000 soldiers and generals in the Qing Dynasty can be said to be their last capital, even if they stay in a decisive battle and can defeat this large Chinese army, then with the strength of the large Chinese army, they can basically fight their soldiers and horses, even if they win, what is the use?

So Huang Taiji didn't dare to stay at this time to fight to the death with the Dazhong army, so after the battle outside Shanhaiguan, Huang Taiji supervised the army all the way, and in order to get rid of the Dazhong army that followed him like a shadow, Huang Taiji even some unimportant baggage, and finally simply left it behind, and when they withdrew to Jinzhou, they were almost exhausted of military rations.

But even so, the tens of thousands of Chinese troops still followed them closely, just like a group of vicious wolves, staring at them, the Jiannu army was a little careless, they would pounce on them and bite hard, which made them completely experience, when they chased and killed those Ming soldiers, the Ming army generals felt.

When they arrived at the city of Jinzhou, the Jiannu had been beaten and lost a little temper, and the morale of the whole army fell to the bottom, when they saw Jinzhou City, they plunged into the Jinzhou City, and Jinzhou was the starting point of their southward journey this time, and there was still some grain hoarded here, which gave the Jiannu army a chance to breathe when the soldiers were short of food, so a large number of Jiannu gathered under the Jinzhou City, and opened the posture of a backwater.

Huang Taiji and many slave chiefs looked around, and then sadly found that this time they went south, and after a circle, they actually returned to the starting point, but the difference from when they set off was that when they set off, nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses were gathered here, and the whole army could be described as a rainbow, with the momentum of breaking through the Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop and attacking the land of Yanyun that they dreamed of.

But at this time, Huang Taiji and their sad discovery that their Qing soldiers and horses who returned here again had less than half of the men and horses left, and they were withdrawn along the way, they were beaten by the Dazhong army without a little temper, and the remaining 80,000 soldiers and horses have also become tired soldiers, and their morale can be said to have completely fallen into the crotch.

It's a big loss! This is the unanimous idea of all the Jiannu army now, the dozens of red-clothed cannons they brought when they went south, and under the successive losses at this time, there are less than ten left, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Han Eight Banners who were armed with countless money and energy, and there are only less than 4,000 people left with them at this time, and the Han Eight Banners can almost be said to be completely lost. It has long been lost by them.

As for the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners of Mongolia who accompanied the expedition, it can be said that there are not a few left at this time, in addition to the losses in Shanhaiguan, the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners of Mongolia who followed Abatai and Haoge into the customs were almost all folded in the pass, and the remaining soldiers and horses of the Mongolian tribes such as Buyandai also fled to death along the way, and the rest had already fled back to the Mongolian grassland when they passed through Ningyuan City.

There were also a large number of followers and coats who followed the expedition, and many of them were also caught up and killed by the Dazhong Army along the way, and as for the more than 10,000 Koreans forcibly recruited from North Korea, there were almost no left.

When looking at these Eight Banner soldiers who ran back with him, Huang Taiji really had the heart to cry to death, could it be that their efforts for so many years were really in vain.
