Beginning in the autumn of last year, the Qing army launched a war of southern aggression, and the war lasted for half a year in March of this year.

This has reached the limit for a regime whose logistics mainly rely on robbery.

I haven't grabbed much now, and now that it's the farming season, if it affects farming, then this year will be more difficult.

At this time, the Qing army to the south and west, have reached a limit, the small court in the south leans on the Yangtze River moat, the Qing army is temporarily unable to cross the river to plunder, Gao Yihuan in the west is a hard stubble, and there is no way to snatch things from him.

This forced the Manchus to pay attention to and control the grain cultivation in the region.

In this battle, although the Qing army lost Guanzhong, it won two Huai.

Strategically speaking, the Qing army became very passive, but in terms of the quality of the land, the two Huai were undoubtedly better than the pass.

At present, it is difficult for the Qing army to obtain supplies by plundering the Ming Dynasty and Gao Yihuan, hundreds of thousands of Qing troops have to eat, and the Manchu court can only truce the war, first digest the areas of the war territory, exterminate the rebel forces in various places, and produce food.

Although Gao Yihuan did not sign any peace agreement, or even admit that he had any peace with the Qing court, Dai Shan still decided to withdraw first.

As Dai Shan got older, people's thinking tended to be conservative, and he was not as radical as Dorgon and Duoduo, and he still had to eat one bite at a time.

Since you can't eat it now, let's consume it first, and when your body is strong and you have an appetite, it's not too late to eat again.

On the last day of March, Dai Shan ordered He Luohui to lead 30,000 horses north to Luoyang, and handed them over to Geng Zhongming to control him, and ordered him to guard northern Henan and build a defensive line to guard against the Wei army in Guanzhong.

He also left 100,000 horses for Nikan, and ordered him to guard the three prefectures of Kaifeng, Guide, and Runing, monitor Nanyang, and clear the remnants of the Wei army.

Under this arrangement, Geng Zhongming and Nikan were like two big locks, locking the Wei army, and Dai Shan could lead his army eastward to solve Xuzhou and sweep away all the enemy forces in the area controlled by the Manchu Qing.

In the evening, Dai Shan, accompanied by Nikan, hit a horse and came to the outside of Xiangcheng, and he could still vaguely see the traces of the fierce battle.

At this time, Shi Shan remembered Duoduo's words again, shook his head slightly, and then turned his head to Nikan and said: "Since the beginning of Salhu, the warriors of the Eight Banners have been invincible, and there have never been hundreds of thousands of people, and there has never been a strong opponent who cannot be defeated. Although this king did not fight against Gao Yihuan, the ability of the old fifteen is still clear, and the person who can beat him to the point of losing his sharpness and even making him feel frightened must be a powerful character. ”

Duoduo actually thought that if Gao Yihuan was not destroyed at this time, there would be no chance in the future, and the Qing Dynasty would be destroyed by Gao Yihuan.

He is now resolute and determined on the surface, but in Dai Shan's opinion, Duoduo has actually lost his courage and does not have the courage to do it again, and he does not believe that Gao Yihuan can be destroyed in the future after the Qing Dynasty.

Duoduo is his little brother, and he is also the most sharp and arrogant person, and he will be tortured like this, Dai Shan is very shocked.

Dai Shan fought slowly, and continued very calmly, "In this battle, the Qing Dynasty suffered a lot of casualties, as the commander of the front line, you should have some understanding, understand the enemy's strengths and weaknesses, and think of a good way to deal with it, only in this way, the next time you fight, you can find a means to restrain Gao Yihuan." This king is in the court, and I heard people say that Gao Manzi has powerful firearms, but this king feels that this is not a problem. When the old Khan raised his army with thirteen pairs of armor, what happened? Not only do we have the elite Eight Banners Force, but we can also build the Ming people's firecrackers, and even the Hongyi cannon! ”

Saying this, Dai Shan grabbed the reins of his horse, glanced at the banner of the Wei army planted on Xiangcheng in the distance, and then stared at Nikan and said, "What do you mean when this king says this?" ”

Nikan grabbed the reins of his horse and replied, "What the prince means is that you can't lose confidence because of this failure. ”

Dai Shan nodded with satisfaction, and found that this nephew was a talent who could be cultivated, "Yes, my Daqing can dominate the world, relying on the sharpness of the Eight Banners and the belief in victory." If you lose your courage and no longer believe in your own strength, it is better to go back to the customs as soon as possible. ”

Nikan was deeply touched that the conditions of the Qing Dynasty at this time were much better than when Taizu raised his army.

At that time, Taizu was facing a behemoth-like Ming Dynasty, and now the Qing Dynasty is only facing a weak small court, a warlord, what is so terrible.

This battle was lost, but as long as the people are still there and there is the belief that they will win, the Qing Dynasty can make a comeback.

"Lord Wang, I understand!" Nikan's eyes hardened.

Dai Shan nodded, then pulled the reins of his horse, and surrounded by cavalry, returned to the camp and ordered the army to pull out the camp.

At this point, the decisive battle between Gao Yihuan and the Qing army finally came to an end.

The next morning, the soldiers guarding the head of the city rested against the city wall with their weapons.

At the end of the night, everyone was a little numb in their limbs, and it was very hard.

At this time, there was a fish white in the east, and the Wei soldiers defending the city came to their senses one after another, stood up and moved their muscles and bones.

Suddenly, a group of horse scouts rushed from a distance, came directly to Xiangcheng, and before they could get close to the city gate, they shouted, "The Tartars have withdrawn!" The Tartars withdrew! ”

There was an immediate commotion in the city, and the soldiers who had moved their bodies poured to the edge of the city wall.

A commander poked his head out and hurriedly asked what was going on, and after receiving a reply, he immediately separated the crowd and went to report the news.

Not long after, Gao Yihuan was surrounded by a group of generals and climbed to the top of the city, and a general brought a message scout over, and the scout saluted: "Meet the king!" ”

Gao Yihuan raised his hand to let him get up, "Did you find out about the Tartar withdrawal?" ”

"Back to the king, it's true, the Tartars have indeed withdrawn! The minister led his troops to go out of the city as usual, monitoring the movements of the Tartars, and found that the Tartar camp was unusually quiet, so he went forward to check, and a few Tartar cavalry in the camp found us, so they immediately pulled their horses and went north. The scout leader replied with some excitement.

Gao Yihuan and the generals around him glanced at each other, a smile appeared on their faces, and they said arrogantly: "Hmph, this is how the Tartar can come, if you want to defeat the Lone King, you don't see who your opponent is!" ”

"Sons, who is the opponent of the Tartars, and who defeated the Tartars!" Wu Shizhao, who was next to him, raised his hand and lost no time in raising his arms and shouting.

"King! King! King! In an instant, countless excited shouts sounded above the city.

Gao Yihuan and the other soldiers cheered for a while, and then calmly raised his hand and pressed it, "Don't engage in a personality cult, this battle is the credit of my Great Wei soldiers who worked together, and it can't be counted on the lone king." ”

Having said that, Gao Yihuan's gaze at Wu Shizhao was clearly full of praise and relief.

"Da Wei! Great Wei! Great Wei! Immediately there was another shout of joy from the head of the city.

At that moment, Gao Yihuan sent scouts again to check out the city and explore the direction of the Qing army's retreat, but he did not plan to send troops to pursue.

The cavalry of the Wei army was only a few thousand people, and if the Qing army and horse army came back with a horse gun, it would be more than worth the loss.

The cavalry is now the biggest shortcoming of the Wei army, and if this problem is not solved, the initiative will still be in the hands of the Qing army.

They come when they want, they can leave when they want, if they win, they will cover you up, and if they are defeated, they will slip away, and the Wei army does not have any good restraint methods at present, basically waiting for them to attack, and then consume them.

As a result, even if the war is won, it will not be able to expand the gains.

Soon, before noon, the scouts came back to report that the Qing army had indeed withdrawn, and there was no longer a threat to Xiangcheng.

At this point, the duel between the Wei army and the Qing army finally came to an end.

In this battle, the Wei army lost more than 30,000 men and horses, while the Qing army lost at least 100,000 people, and 50,000 Guan Ning troops betrayed the Manchus.

In terms of territory, the Wei army occupied a vast area in Guanzhong, and the Qing army occupied the Wei army's Runing Mansion and several counties in Kaifeng Prefecture.

In this comparison, although the losses of the Wei army are not small, compared with the Qing army, they are undoubtedly the winners of this war.

However, looking at the world, the biggest loss was not the Qing army, but the Nanjing court that lost Jiangbei~
