Zhenjuan Yishui Shoal 691 Thousands of dragoons galloped along the Suzi River Valley in pursuit.
There are sentry riders in front of them exploring the way. These sentry riders stopped at the exit of a ravine. Continue to the east, in the direction of Maldun. Turning the road to the north, it is to drill into an unknown ravine.
The sentinels were a little puzzled, because there were traces left by the Tartar army in both directions.
They divided into two groups, continued to inquire east and north, and at the same time sent people back to report.
"Maybe the Tartars got into the ravine?"
Lin Zhidong was very confused when he received the news. If the Tartars don't continue to go east, why are they drilling the ravine?
Could it be that they want to ambush in the ravine?
But if you plan to ambush, you should spend time cleaning up the traces. How can the scouts of the Datong Army know it at a glance?
Lin Zhidong really couldn't figure it out, and while continuing to move forward, he sent someone back to report to the main force.
After continuing to run for more than ten miles, a scout on a horse ran back quickly, and said happily: "The independent regiment captured Hetuala and blocked Mardun. The Tartars have nowhere to go, so they can only go into the ravine!"
"What did you say?"
Lin Zhidong quickly recalled the military map, the more he thought about it, the more outrageous he felt, and he couldn't figure out how Yang Zhenqing used troops.
The scout said: "The Independent Regiment set out from Crowful Pass and surrendered several Tartar fortresses one after another. One of the fortresses refused to surrender. Commander Yang ordered most of them to set up camp, pretending to storm the fortress. Mountain.
After finishing the food on the way, he was hungry and made a surprise attack on Jianzhou, taking Jianzhou City in one fell swoop. The puppet empress dowager and the emperor all fled in haste. Commander Yang made some corrections, and then marched westward to capture Mardun, completely blocking the retreat of the Tartars' main force! "
Lin Zhidong was speechless for a long time, and finally muttered: "This guy is a lunatic for fighting. If the Tartars in Jianzhou City stick to it, all the people he leads will starve to death."
Lin Zhidong sent someone back to report the news, and then ordered: "Follow me to chase the Tartars, be careful in ambush!"
Man Dahai originally wanted to set up an ambush in the ravine, eat up a group of Datong army's pursuers, and at the same time boost the morale of the Eight Banners army while venting his anger. Then they burned the luggage that could not be taken away, and the whole army fled for their lives over the mountains.
However, he couldn't suppress the morale of the army anymore, and a group of Eight Banners nobles ran for their lives immediately.
"If you don't go, I'll go!"
Fratta roared loudly: "Suzi River Valley, there are Nanmanzi on both sides. You still want to set up an ambush here? Even if you win a game, so what? If you go one day late, you will be caught up by the main force of the Nanmanzi!"
Fratta is the fourth son of Jierharang's eighth younger brother. It is impossible for him to inherit the title of Prince Jane due to the twists and turns.
But he is the successor to Prince Jane, because all the heirs ahead of him were killed or captured during the battle with the Datong army. Judging from the succession of the Manchu nobles, we know how much talent withers, and the more battle-tested, the earlier they die.
"Stop!" Man Dahai scolded.
Fratta was not afraid at all, turned around and said: "You are the newly named Prince Li, this title is unclear. I am the serious Prince Jane, and you have no right to order me. I want to take my cow record with me. Follow my people, and immediately flee for your life across the mountains. If you dare to stop, I will fight with you!"
Man Dahai looked at the other nobles and was instantly disappointed.
Fu Lata returned to his camp and immediately ordered: "No gold, silver or treasure is needed. Everyone should bring food, as much as they can. If you can't take it away, burn it all!"
?Prince Chengze Shuosai bowed his hands to Man Dahai with the Han ceremony: "It's about the lives of the clansmen, so I'm leaving too."
One by one, the Manchu nobles announced their departure one after another, unwilling to set up an ambush with Man Dahai.
People's hearts have long since dispersed.
After a while, thick smoke billowed in the ravine, but it was burning the luggage that could not be taken away.
At this moment, the dragoons led by Lin Zhidong had just chased to the entrance of the ravine.
Seeing the thick smoke inside, Lin Zhidong immediately came to his senses: "The Tartars are going to flee, they are burning food!" Then he said, "Don't rush forward, it may be a trick of the Tartars to lure the enemy!
These dragoons were only chasing the enemy's vanguard, and they didn't dare to confront tens of thousands of Tartars head-on.
When Lin Zhidong was extremely cautious and led his troops to chase to the end of the ravine, he saw only burning supplies all over the ground, as well as the old, weak, sick and disabled abandoned by the Tartars.
Lin Zhidong managed to catch a young man from the Tartars, and asked the soldiers who could speak Manchu, "Where is the main force of the Tartars?"
"Over the mountain and left." Qing Zhuang replied.
"Why didn't you leave?" Lin Zhidong asked.
Qing Zhuang raised his hands, both thumbs are gone, this is when Hu Dinggui raided Haizhou.fall down.
"ah!"
Fratta fled for his life across mountains and mountains, and even took his maid with him. At this moment, the maid screamed in fright.
Shuo Sai chopped off the maid, and the few people he brought also killed Fratta's soldiers one after another. With mental calculations and unintentional calculations, Fratta's soldiers were caught off guard and unable to organize an attack at all. I didn't even understand what happened, and I was so scared that I just ran for my life.
"woo woo woo woo!"
Shuo Sai blew the horn, and all the ambushes on the periphery came out, and the soldiers chasing Fu Rata began to massacre.
Everyone cut off a head, then began to gather slowly, and followed Shuo Sai down the mountain to join the Datong Army.
"Have the southern barbarians been killed?"
Man Dahai was awakened by the sound of horns and shouts of killing.
It is far away here, so I don't know the situation, and Man Dahai's soldiers don't know what to ask.
The rest of the Manchu nobles were also terrified, thinking that the Datong army had come to kill them. No matter three seven twenty one,
Sa Yazi ran away, and the mountains and plains were full of messy Tartars, and many people didn't even have time to take away the only food they had.
"My lord, run away, the barbarians are coming!"
Not long after, the chaotic situation spread to Mandahai, and they still don't know that Shuo Sai took the lead in turning back the water.
Man Dahai couldn't find out the truth, so he could only flee with his troops, and he didn't stop until the next morning.
Tens of thousands of Tartars ran away at night and became dozens of groups in the mountains. Only after Man Dahai ordered the blowing of the trumpet did they gradually gather. But many low-level Tartars did not want to come to meet again, and hid scattered food with them. They planned to hunt and farm in the mountains in the future.
As for Man Dahai, I don't know where to retreat.
He planned to go back to the mouth of Meihei River first. If it was occupied by the Datong Army, he could only lead his troops to Heilongjiang.
