One side was too tired to escape, and the other side was too tired to chase, the muddy water in the rain was full of people.
Dorgon had already taken off his armor and boots, although it was dangerous to stop to remove his armor. But as long as you take off the armor, you can definitely make up for your escape time. The cotton armor is too heavy after being soaked in the rain, and it is too difficult to pull out the boots when they step into the mud.
"Your Highness, let's go, I'll lead the troops to stop the enemy!" Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer, Wu Bai drew his sword and summoned the guards to fight back.
Dorgon was inexplicably moved, and said: "I will treat your people kindly!"
Wu Bai was the 16th minister who was reused by Huang Taiji, and his father, Wu Likan, was in charge of the forward. Wu Bai himself joined the army at the age of sixteen and fought with Nurhachi and Huang Taiji. After Dorgon took power, he was named a first-class viscount. He is one of the ancestors of the Guarjia family.
Wu Bai stayed behind to collect the defeated soldiers, and when the Datong army came after them, they gathered hundreds of people. .
The Eight Banners soldiers fled and scattered, and the Datong Army also chased and dispersed.
Facing more than a hundred soldiers of the Eight Banners of Datong, the leading officer immediately blew his whistle.
Hundreds of fellow troops nearby gathered one after another, forming up to surround these fearless enemies. Both sides were so exhausted that they had no energy left. They relied entirely on willpower to support each other. They stabbed each other for a long time and didn't kill a few, but many Eight Banners soldiers were injured.
Wu Yong, who had followed Zhao Han in Luling County, was finally transferred to Liaodong as brigade commander.
At this moment, his whole body was weak, his legs were trembling with exhaustion, and he stabbed Wu Bai's cotton armor several times in a row. Cotton armor swollen by rain is even more difficult to break through!
Luckily, one soldier stabbed Wu Bai so that his body shook, and Wu Yong took the opportunity to shoot accurately and mercilessly.
Right in the throat.
The sixteen ministers under Huang Taiji's command fell slowly while clutching his neck. Blood gushed out from the wound and mixed into the muddy water on the ground, making it difficult to distinguish.
"Caught a high-ranking Tartar official!"
Another Datong army was shouting nearby, and it was unknown which Manchu nobleman had been captured.
Wang Tingchen raised his head, walked up to Wu Sangui and asked, "Which one is this?"
Wu Sangui took a closer look and replied: "The Sixteenth Minister, Abu Dai, the Fucha family."
"Haha, kill a big fish." Wang Tingchen laughed.
Wu Sangui quickly got busy, and someone caught another general and came over and asked, "Who is this?"
Wu Sangui said: "Suohun, Niu Gulu, son of Eyidu, the five founding ministers of the Puppet Qing Dynasty."
"If you want to kill, kill, don't talk so much nonsense!" Suo Hun was pressed in the mud, and he was still struggling and shouting. This guy seemed very unwilling. He was the general of Dorgon's Chinese army, and the army collapsed before he had time to fight.
Soon another prisoner came and asked Wu Sangui, "Who is this?"
Wu Sangui looked at it for a long time, shook his head and said, "I don't know."
The prisoner roared: "Grandpa is called Zhang Ku, Batulu of Manchuria bestowed by Emperor Taizong!"
"It's still fierce if you are caught!" The Datong officer who captured him kicked him immediately.
Zhang Ku fell into the muddy water, stiffened his neck and said: "I don't accept it, you use demon magic, if you are a warrior, you can fight again with real swords and guns!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Datong soldiers laughed.
To be honest, even inside the Datong Army, they didn't take the leather case of the firecracker seriously. After all, it can only be shot once in rainy days, and it is completely useless at ordinary times, but who knows that it will work wonders at critical moments.
The Manchus didn¡¯t know that, they thought that the firecrackers of the Datong Army could keep shooting in the rain.
So after the collapse of the former army, the other Qing troops were frightened and frightened, and they did not dare to fight the Datong army head-on. In addition, the two wings also collapsed one after another, and the morale of the Eight Banners soldiers of the Chinese army dropped, and they began to run away as soon as they were rushed by the defeated soldiers.
The pursuit battle was still going on, and many Eight Banners soldiers collapsed from exhaustion, lying in the mud resigned to their fate, waiting to be caught.
When the Datong army collapsed after chasing them, they would often catch an enemy, tie him up on the spot, and then sit on the captive to rest by himself.
According to post-war statistics, more than 6,000 enemy troops were beheaded, more than 8,000 enemy troops were captured, and the remaining Tartars all ran away.
Of course they did not run away as part of the establishment. Some ran northwest, some ran northeast, and many fled into the mountains in the northeast.
Dorgon ran all the way to Haizhou, waited for four days, and fled back to some defeated soldiers one after another. He repeatedly counted the number of people, and there were only more than 5,000 people left in the tens of thousands of troops. After waiting for another two days, more than a thousand people fled back again.
At this time, the rainstorm has ended, and there are a few light rains every now and then.
After the heavy rain, Li Zheng led his army straight to Haizhou. It was cloudy and rainy, so I didn't bring much luggage, and all the artillery was left in Yaozhou.
"Abandon Haizhou!"
In the past few years since Dorgon withdrew to Liaodong, the policy has gradually reversed. The annexation of land became more and more serious, and the farther away from Liaoyang and Shenyang, the more reckless the Eight Banners disciples became, turning all Han peasants into serfs. The big landlords of the Han people also plundered the land of the peasants through usury and turned the peasants into their own tenants.
This year is even more stormy. For Dorgon to fight the war, the Han peasants have been exploited too severely. Even the villages around Liaoyang are already brewing peasant uprisings.
However, the traitors who took refuge in the Qing Dynasty were still dismantling each other, and they were divided into three factions.
One group is the old traitors represented by Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo, most of whom took refuge in Nurhachi. It can be called a generation of traitors.
One faction is Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, traitors who surrendered during Huang Taiji's period. It can be called the second generation of traitors.
One faction is the traitors who defected to the Qing Dynasty outside the customs during Dorgon's period. It can be called three generations of traitors.
The contradiction between the first generation of traitors and the second generation of traitors is extremely deep.
?Because after the surrender of the second generation of traitors, Huang Taiji rewarded a large amount of livestock and grain, which were obtained from the first generation of traitors. At that time, the old traitors called themselves "old people", called Kong Youde and others "new people", and complained that Huang Taiji had forgotten the old people when he had new people.
As for the three generations of traitors, they were jointly suppressed by the first and second generations of traitors.
At this moment, in Shenyang City, the three generations of traitors are the busiest. They had the shortest time to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and their crimes were the shallowest. They had low official positions and titles, and their family property was not very rich. They were trying to rebel and make contributions to the Datong court.
Hou Fangyu's father, Hou Xun, is still alive at this moment, but he was forced to become the leader of three generations of traitors. They all count on Hou Xun to preside over the overall situation and start an uprising in Shenyang.
