With an army of 80,000 and less than 15,000 cavalry left, how could Dolgon vomit blood?

Seeing that Dolgon vomited blood and fell into a coma, the entire upper echelons of the Qing army were in chaos.

"Fifty thousand troops, just like this, all the army will be wiped out?" Bolo sat dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that he would lose so badly!

Most of the elite divisions of the Qing Dynasty who fought in the battle, and the leader of the battle was also the regent Dolgon, who had been invincible for a long time, could it be that the Ming army was so powerful that even the warriors of the Eight Banners could not match?

"Lord Belle, what should we do?" The generals asked one after another. Dolgon vomited blood and fell into a coma, obviously unable to govern, and with such a big defeat, almost the total annihilation, Dolgon must be responsible for this defeat, so it is conceivable that after returning to Beijing, Dolgon will definitely be held accountable by the imperial court, and the former power will no longer be there.

"Pass the order, the whole army is ready, evacuate here and return to Beijing!" Bolo gritted his teeth and gave the order.

There are more than 10,000 cavalry left in the 80,000 army, and there is no capital to match the Ming army, and what we have to do now is to return to Beijing as soon as possible and protect the retreat of the imperial court in Beijing.

Beijing can't hold it, and the strategy of destroying the Ming Dynasty and dominating the world has basically failed, and what we have to do now is to protect ourselves and maintain the last strength of the Qing Dynasty.

"Yes, Baylor!"

Seeing that Bolo decided to withdraw from the army, the other Eight Banner generals also breathed a sigh of relief. In the event of a great defeat, no one was willing to fight the Ming army anymore.

......

"The Qing army has retreated!" When the news reached Linqing, the entire Linqing City was boiling.

The Qing army retreated, which meant that the battle was completely victorious.

The elimination of 50,000 Eight Banner soldiers in the first battle was unprecedented in the more than 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!

For decades, since the rise of Jianzhou Manchu in Liaodong, in the face of Manchu, the Ming Dynasty has lost battles one after another, lost cities and lost land, and countless elite soldiers and strong generals died on the battlefield.

The fullness of hundreds of thousands of people dragged the Ming Dynasty into the abyss, and dragged it almost to the brink of extinction. A large amount of money and grain was used in the nine sides, and it was used to exterminate the battlefield of Manchuria, resulting in domestic disasters and famines for many years but unable to provide disaster relief, forcing the imperial court to increase the amount of money year after year, resulting in displaced people everywhere, anti-thieves everywhere, the Beijing division was captured by thieves, and the emperor fled south in a hurry.

However, just a few years later, under the leadership of Chen Yue, the king of Qi, the Ming army won victory after victory, and finally turned the tide and brought the Ming back from the brink of destruction. Now that the main force of Manchu has been completely destroyed, there is no longer a threat to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

"Long live Daming!"

"Long live His Royal Highness King Qi!"

Throughout the city of Linqing, there were cheers everywhere.

"Congratulations to the prince!"

"Congratulations to the prince!"

Most of the governors were elated, and the generals were elated one by one, and they congratulated Chen Yue one after another.

"It's just that a victory has been achieved, Manchu has not been completely expelled, and the capital division has not yet recovered, so it's too early to celebrate." Chen Yue said with a smile.

"After a big defeat, I can no longer afford to defend Beijing. Lord Wang, the last general was originally the vanguard, and led the army directly to Beijing! Li Yilang said.

"The surname Li, you can't finish the battle one by one," Jin Xin on the side said unhappily, "Lord Wang, let's let the last general be the vanguard, the last general will definitely take Beijing for the prince and wipe out the rest of the Manchu!" ”

"It's so easy?" Li Yi pursed his lips.

Seeing that the generals were competing for battle, Chen Yue waved his hand and stopped the generals from fighting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although we are defeated, our strength still exists. In addition, it is at the threshold of destruction, and it will inevitably burst out with great combat power, and the so-called trapped beasts are still fighting, and the poor are not chasing.

After a big battle, although tens of thousands of enemies were annihilated, our army also suffered heavy casualties and was exhausted. Therefore now is not the time for a decisive battle. ”

"Can't you just let them go?" Jin Xin said.

Chen Yue shook his head: "Of course it's impossible to let them go." For more than 30 years, they have been full of blood debts, and now is a good opportunity to annihilate them to take revenge. However, we must not be in a hurry, we must be fully prepared and plan slowly. ”

Li Yi also said: "What the prince said is that now Li Daozi Xu Qingtian and others will lead the army to attack the states and counties, encircle and suppress the scattered and fleeing Eight Banner infantry, we also suffered more than 10,000 casualties in the battle some time ago, and now the strength of Linqing is less than 100,000, and there are still more than 10,000 cavalry, and there are also 10,000 troops in Beijing, and it is not easy to annihilate them."

We should continue to draw troops, urge the rear to transport food and wages, and accumulate strength before attacking Beijing. Manchu moved most of the banner men from outside the Guanxi to the Guannei, and now there are four or five hundred thousand banner men in Beijing, and it is not so easy for them to retreat all.

Instead of storming Beijing, it is better to wait for it to retreat and attack, which is the best moment to attack! ”

Chen Yue nodded appreciatively: "That's right." ”

Seeing Jin Xin's annoyed look, Chen Yue couldn't help but smile: "I know you want to fight, so let's do it, I'll give you 30,000 troops, and you attack north along the canal to recover Dezhou and other prefectures and counties, until Tianjin." ”

Jin Xin was overjoyed: "The last general respects his life!" ”

.......

On that day, the order of Chen Yue, the king of Qi, spread to all places, and the armies of Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou provinces marched one after another and marched towards Linqing. At the same time, under the overall planning of Wu Mengming, the Marquis of Zhenbei, a large amount of grain was transported along the canal to Linqing.

The Ming army won a great victory, and the news of the destruction of 50,000 banners quickly spread to various places.

Yanmen Pass, after hearing the news of Linqing's victory, Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that he chose to return to the Ming, if he hadn't made an anti-Qing Guiming move, he didn't know what the end would be now.

"Order, mobilize all your forces and attack Datong!" Jiang Hao ordered.

On the same day, Jiang Xuanbing, the general soldier of Shanxi, went out of Yanmen Pass and launched a strong attack on Datong, and the Qing army in Datong fled without a fight and withdrew to Xuanfu.

Luoyang, hearing the news of the battle of Linqing, Li Guo, the general of Shun Junquan, was stunned.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the Ming and Qing dynasties to go out of Henan, seize territory, and expand the living space of the Shun army. And now with the great victory of the Ming army, it has completely failed.

Although the main force of the Ming army is still in Linqing, the next step will definitely be to attack Beijing in the north, and Henan will not be taken care of for the time being. However, Li Guo could not continue his previous strategy. Because even if the main force of the Ming army is in Shandong, the Shun army is already struggling in Henan.

Hao Shaoqi's tens of thousands of troops went out of Nanyang to garrison Xuchang, peeking at Luoyang at all times, making Li Guo's strategy of attacking Kaifeng impossible to carry out.

The Ming army led by Zheng Sen entered the pass through Wuguan and had already occupied Lantian, which was only one or two hundred miles away from Xi'an, and was now confronting Liu Fangliang.

Hedong was not very smooth, Yuan Zongdi led his troops to cross the Yellow River into Hedong, and Li Jiantai, the governor of Shanxi in the Ming Dynasty, called on the gentry of Shanxi to resist, and actually gathered fifty or sixty thousand soldiers to guard the Linfen line, resisting the road of Shun army north to Taiyuan.

After the Battle of Linqing, inspired by the great victory, the morale of the Ming army everywhere was boiling, and they launched an attack on the Shun army one after another. Li Guo knew that the opportunity to attack the Central Plains had disappeared, and now what he had to do was to surrender Shaanxi.
