(Thank you Angus0423 for voting for your valuable monthly ticket, thank you for the reward from the Demon Thieves Group, thank you, please pay attention to the new book "Predator", thank you.) )

Although Sun Chuanting and He Renlong took away 80,000 soldiers, resulting in less than 70,000 soldiers attacking Haizhou City, the Jiangning battalion had already controlled the overall situation, and the remaining Houjin Tartars, that is, the trapped beasts, were still fighting, and because of the strict external defense and cruel non-stop fighting, the Houjin Tartars had long been exhausted, even if most of the soldiers in charge of the ambush outside the city were withdrawn, they would not know.

The battle lasted until the morning of the third day, when Hong Chengchou spoke, demanding that Ma Xianglin, who commanded the attack, must completely destroy the Houjin Tartars in Haizhou City within one day and end the battle.

Dolgon felt that a catastrophe was coming, although he couldn't believe it, for what in just a few days, the warriors of the Eight Banners had suffered such heavy losses and defeats, could it be that the combat effectiveness of the children of the Eight Banners had declined, even when they were fighting in Cangzhou, the Jiangning battalion was not so brave.

It is difficult for people's thinking and understanding to completely change in a short period of time, and Dolgon is the same, he will not accept the transformation from cold weapon warfare to hot weapon warfare in a short period of time, not to mention Dolgon, even Hong Chengchou and others, if they hadn't followed Su Tiancheng for a long time and witnessed the power of firearms, I am afraid that they would not be able to turn this corner for a while.

The law lost its temper, and all the methods used were used, but the situation could not be changed.

Of the 40,000 soldiers under Dorgon's command, there were less than 10,000 left in the past two days.

If it weren't for the harsh reality in front of him, Dorgon would have thought it was a dream.

How brave the children of the Eight Banners of the Great Qing Kingdom used to be, galloping through the pass, so that the Ming army did not dare to show their heads. Don't dare to fight, how many years have passed, the white flag and the inlaid white flag are one of the most brave armies of the Qing Dynasty, participating in countless battles, for what is in this battle, the defeat is miserable.

Shouts of killing were heard outside. The offensive of the sergeants of the Gangning battalion began.

From the sound, Dolgon felt that this was a large-scale attack, and I am afraid that it was also the most fierce charge launched by the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion, and the purpose was very clear, that is, to completely eliminate the sergeants under his command.

Dolgon unhurriedly straightened out the armor on his body, he was going to participate in the fight himself, and at this point, there was no such thing as being in command. It's time for the worst of the day.

Dolgon felt the same pride as Dai Shan, that is, the soldiers under his command, almost none surrendered, all of them fought to the last breath, which stemmed from the pride of the Manchus, and from the honor of the Manchus.

Dorgon strode outside, but his officers did not stop him, and his own soldiers surrounded him in the middle.

After Hong Chengchou's order was issued. Ma Xianglin, who commanded the battle, was also anxious, in fact, the progress of the battle was very good. Compared with the past, this battle can be regarded as a huge victory, but as a senior general of the Jiangning battalion, Ma Xianglin knows the deployment of the entire battle of Lu Dao, and also knows that the army of Lu Dao cannot be delayed in Haizhou for too long. Therefore, to annihilate all the stubborn Houjin Tartars in one day, this seemingly unreasonable order made Ma Xianglin morale.

Ma Xianglin began to give orders, starting with the first attack in the morning, abandoning the form of a small force assault. Switching to a large group of men and horses to carry out the charge, which may cause relatively large casualties, but it can also defeat and annihilate the Houjin Tartar as quickly as possible, and it is important to know that the dense bullets fired by the flintlock pistol are not at all something that the body can resist.

Ma Xianglin commanded the battle at the forefront.

In fact, with the maturity of the Jiangning battalion's combat system, the previous practice of guarding the command to make the charge in front has been abandoned, unless the battle has reached the most critical juncture, the commander's main responsibility is to formulate a feasible operational plan, at the beginning of the battle, command the army to attack, try to avoid large casualties, the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion, also understand this truth, if the commander and they charge together, there is an accident, the army will lose its command, the dragon will be leaderless, and the losses caused will be greater.

But after issuing the order for a large-scale attack, Ma Xianglin resolutely went to the forefront, and he could even see the battle between the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion and the Houjin Tartars with the naked eye.

There has been a noticeable increase in casualties.

Ma Xianglin was unmoved, Lord Hong Chengchou's order was very clear, the desired result, since the fighting, there were casualties, some casualties could be avoided, some could not be avoided, and some sacrifices must be made for the overall combat deployment.

At the same time as the casualties increased, the initiative was quickly in the hands of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, and it was important to know that in the face of such an attack, the casualties of the Houjin Tartars were even heavier.

Ma Xianglin, who hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights, had red eyes, holding a telescope, motionless and looking at the battle ahead.

A large number of post-gold tartars rushed out of a house, which attracted Ma Xianglin's attention, and it can be clearly seen from the telescope that most of the people who rushed out were riding horses, and there was a certain golden helmet moving in the middle.

Fighting in the city, the cavalry does not have much power, and it is impossible to play a decisive role, on the contrary, when facing the flintlock pistol, the war horse becomes the target of shooting, once the war horse is shot and falls, the sergeant on horseback will fall dizzy, and the heavy will be crushed under the horse and die, so the Jiangning battalion soldiers will give up the way of cavalry combat after attacking the city of Haizhou.

The golden helmet made Ma Xianglin excited, he knew very well that the person with the golden helmet in the middle of the team was the white flag of Hou Jinzheng, the owner of the white flag, and the Prince of Rui Dolgon, this Dolgon was the most courageous flag master in Hou Jin.

Putting down the binoculars, Ma Xianglin shouted and rushed to the front, and the soldiers and guards around him rushed up with him.

Ma Xianglin personally charged, and many soldiers knew that the most important moment had come.

The swarming soldiers rushed forward from all directions......

Dolgon's body was carried in front of Hong Chengchou.

Dolgon committed suicide, seeing the soldiers and officers around him fall one by one, Dolgon knew that there was no hope of survival, he was the most courageous banner master of the Qing Dynasty, and the white flag and inlaid white flag under his command were also one of the most elite armies of the Great Qing Kingdom.

Dolgon knew very well that for so many years, he led his soldiers into the customs to plunder, and the murderous crimes committed by the Han people in the face of the Han people were huge, and after being captured alive, there may not be a good ending.

It was also driven by this psychology that Dorgon chose to commit suicide.

At the same time, he was carried in front of Dolgon, along with the injured Ma Xianglin.

Ma Xianglin's injuries were a little serious, he was stabbed from the shoulder blade by a knife, if the blade was a little lower, Ma Xianglin would not think about survival, but Ma Xianglin's charge and injury greatly stimulated the soldiers, and many soldiers rushed desperately to charge, so that the battle was basically over in an hour or so.

Hong Chengchou instructed the medical officers around him to take care of Ma Xianglin's injuries.

Ma Xianglin insisted on not leaving the large army, never going back to Gaizhou to recuperate from his injuries, and he wanted to follow the large army.

Hong Chengchou did not hesitate and agreed to Ma Xianglin's request.

Looking at Dolgon's corpse, Hong Chengchou was full of emotion, Lu Xiangsheng led the army to capture Quang Ninh, beheaded Dai Shan, the prince of Houjinli, and led his soldiers to attack Haizhou, forcing Dolgon, the prince of Rui, to choose suicide.

Houjin's Manchu Eight Banners, the banner owners are all extraordinary Manchurians, except for Duoduo, the owner of the white flag, who has long been killed by the Jiangning battalion, and there are only three flag owners left, among which the flag owner of the yellow flag and the yellow flag is Huang Taiji, the flag owner of the blue flag is Haoge, and the flag owner of the blue flag is Jierharang.

The positive red flag, inlaid red flag, positive white flag, and inlaid white flag to which the Manchu Eight Banners belong have not existed since then, and they have all been exterminated by the Jiangning battalion, and the rest can hardly support it for much longer.

Dai Shan is the oldest prince of Houjin, and Dolgon is the most courageous prince of Houjin, and these two people have all died, which does mean that Houjin's qi has been exhausted.

Hong Chengchou instructed the soldiers to bury Dolgon, and at the same time wrote a letter to the emperor to report the situation of the battle in Haizhou, mainly to report that Dolgon had died.

The losses of the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion were also not small, and it took half a day to clean up the battlefield, and in the battle of attacking Haizhou, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion were killed.

However, there is only one night of recuperation.

After dawn, the army and horses are about to set off, rushed to Anshan, Hong Chengchou got the information, Anshan has almost become an empty city, since the Jiangning battalion began to attack Haizhou, the Houjin Tartars stationed in Anshan, they withdrew to Liaoyang, but the Houjin Tartars stationed in Liaoyang, less than 10,000 people, 50,000 Manchu Eight Banner soldiers under the command of Dolgon, 5,000 people distributed in Yaozhou and 40,000 people stationed in Haizhou, almost all were annihilated.

At this point, Hong Chengchou has already understood that taking Haizhou is equivalent to taking Anshan and Liaoyang, and the Houjin Tartars stationed in Liaoyang will not be able to resist if they do not get reinforcements, and the news of Dolgon's suicide will soon spread to Anshan and Liaoyang, as long as the time comes, the Houjin Tartars of Liaoyang will not have the fighting spirit at all.

At daybreak, the brigade set out.

Hong Chengchou looked at the soldiers who were in the dust, some of the soldiers even had blood stains on their bodies, many soldiers who hung colors were just bandaged and had a night's rest, mainly to sleep and replenish their physical strength, it was impossible to do anything else, his eyes were a little moist, this is the Jiangning battalion, the Jiangning battalion with military orders like a mountain, if it is replaced by other armies, I am afraid that it will not be able to do this step.

The scout who delivered the letter set off at night, and he had to rush to Quang Ninh at the fastest time to report the good news to the emperor. (To be continued......)
