    Looking at Huang Taiji's livid face, Abatai hesitated for a moment and then gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the artillery fire of the Great Chinese Army is too fierce. The warriors have suffered heavy casualties. Why not let them retreat first?"

    Huang Taiji was silent for a long time, and then said: "Okay, let them retreat first to avoid the edge. The lives of our Qing warriors cannot be wasted in vain."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding!"

    Abatai was overjoyed. As soon as Huang Taiji finished speaking, he immediately had someone blow the horn to retreat.

    "Woo woo woo"

    The desolate horns sounded simultaneously in the formation. The cavalrymen with blue flags who were being bombed were miserable. When they heard the horn, they all hurriedly retreated. After they withdrew to their formation, Abatai ordered his men to take stock.  He almost vomited blood on the spot after getting the result quickly.

    There were more than 3,600 people during the attack, but when they retreated, there were only more than 2,500 people. In other words, nearly a quarter or more of them were defeated before they even got close to the opponent's military formation.  If he hadn't ordered the men and horses to retreat quickly, I'm afraid there's no telling what would have happened if they had stayed any longer.

    Seeing Abatai's face pale with pain, even Huang Taiji, who usually disliked Abatai, couldn't blame him. He just patted his shoulder lightly and said: "Okay Abatai, you  Don¡¯t blame yourself too much. None of us expected that the Dahua Army¡¯s artillery fire would be so fierce. But judging from the current situation, it is not so easy to annihilate them in one fell swoop. We still need to take a long-term approach.¡±

    Hearing Huang Taiji¡¯s words, Dorgon on the side sneered secretly.  He took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the lives of our warriors of the Qing Dynasty are so precious. We can no longer use the lives of our warriors to touch their firearms. To deal with the Great Chinese Army, we have to find another way."

    Huang Taiji said noncommittally: "Well, Dorgon, do you have any good ideas?"

    Dorgon said respectfully: "Your Majesty. I am stupid, so there is no good way. Anyway, I just listen to the Emperor in everything."

    "This bastard!"

    Huang Taiji almost choked to death due to Dorgon's salty words.  On the surface, this guy is thinking about everyone, but he just throws the problem to himself and ignores him. Isn't this playing tricks on him, the emperor?

    But Huang Taiji is Huang Taiji after all.  This emperor did not do it for nothing. He rolled his eyes and turned his attention to a prince wearing a prince's clothes standing on the outside. "Prince Gong, you Han Banner have been practicing firearms skills very hard over the years. The so-called raising soldiers  It takes a thousand days to use an army, but now the time has come for you to show off your skills, aren¡¯t you going to do something?¡±

    "Hey, that's right!"

    When Huang Taiji said this, everyone remembered that they also had a firearms force.  Huang Taiji has given him most of the firearms and artillery made over the years. Isn't it time to test the results?

    Thinking of this, everyone turned their attention to Kong Youde, who was standing on the foreign committee, and the impatient Duduo simply called out: "King Gongshun, the two issues under your command are both firearms. Your Majesty sees the artillery and cannons produced every year.  I have given you the blunderbuss, but now it¡¯s up to you.¡±

    "Fuck, who did I offend? Why are everyone looking at me?"

    Kong Youde secretly complained in his heart, but at this time he couldn't pretend to be a bear, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, my lords, it's not that my servant is unwilling to contribute, but that my men haven't arrived yet, even if I have a lot of potential,  Even though the emperor is loyal, he is powerless."

    "What, your people haven't arrived yet? How did you do it!"

    Now Hauge was not happy. Although he usually disliked Kong Youde, at this time he had to look forward to the arrival of Kong Youde's Han army flag.  Because facts have proven that with the development of technology, no matter how many people do not want to believe it, they have to admit that firearms have played an increasingly important role in war, not to mention that the Chinese army just used facts  He taught them a good lesson, and the wounded soldiers still lying on the battlefield wailing are the best proof.

    Not to mention the impatient Hauge who cursed loudly, many Manchu and Qing princes around him were also waiting for Kong Youde with dissatisfied eyes.

    But Kong Youde feels aggrieved. Although he usually has the support of Huang Taiji, there are more people who dislike him. His Han army flag is like a stepmother. How could he run to those during the march?  Where is the front of the authentic Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty?  Besides, transporting those artillery pieces is no ordinary trouble. It would be a damned thing not to fall behind.

    "me"

    Kong Youdenonuo chimed twice and simply stopped talking. I can¡¯t afford to offend you guys, so why can¡¯t I hide away from you?

      In the end, it was Dorgon who helped Kong Youde out of the siege, "Okay, don't blame King Gong Shun. Most of the Han military flags are filled with firearms, and those artillery pieces are even more bulky. It's important to be able to keep up with the marching speed of the large group of people."  How could you catch up so quickly?"

    "Yes, yes!" Kong Youde glanced at Dorgon gratefully and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, it's not that the slaves don't work hard, but that those artillery pieces are too heavy, especially those of the generals. Every time  The door almost weighs three to four thousand kilograms, and it really can¡¯t get up quickly.¡±

    Huang Taiji nodded and stopped talking. What Kong Youde said was indeed the truth. No one else could keep up with the fast-moving cavalry with artillery weighing thousands of kilograms.

    "Okay, what King Gongshun said is true, so don't blame him. Let's set up camp first, rest for two days, and wait until the Han army flag arrives before we fight the Chinese army decisively!"

    As soon as Huang Taiji spoke, all the accusatory language disappeared. As dozens of horns sounded simultaneously on the battlefield, groups of Manchu and Qing troops patted their neat ranks and slowly retreated, disappearing among the crowd in a moment.  in sight.

    Looking at the Qing troops retreating in an orderly manner, Wang Zhi couldn't help but nod secretly. These Qing troops were defeated but not in chaos. Even though they had just been bombarded by his own artillery for a while, they quickly calmed down. They were worthy of being able to force Qian Ming to the point of defeat.  A powerful army that was almost cornered.

    Wei Jiang, commander of the Fifth Army Corps, approached Wang Zhi and said, "Sir, the Tatars have retreated. Should we send someone to take advantage of the victory and kill them?"

    In Wei Jiang's view, his side has the upper hand. Now that the Tatars have retreated, they should take the opportunity to pursue them. Even if they cannot be defeated, it is good to build an advantage.

    But Wang Zhi shook his head and rejected his proposal. Wang Zhi raised his whip and pointed at the Qing soldiers in front, shaking his head and saying: "No, look at those Tatars retreating without chaos. They are much more numerous than us, and we  Most of them are infantry, and the cavalry is limited. If we rush to pursue a bad one, we will be surrounded by the Tatars, and we will lose our skin even if we don't die."

    After hearing Wang Zhi¡¯s cautious words, Wei Jiang disapproved in his heart, but he did not dare to disobey Wang Zhi¡¯s order, but he then quietly sent out several teams to investigate the movements of the Qing army.

    Unexpectedly, the night warriors later reported to him a shocking news. There were two ambushes on the retreat road of the Qing army, numbering about 20,000. This news also frightened Wei Jiang into a cold sweat.  If one's own side rashly sends troops to pursue and is ambushed by the Qing cavalry, the slow-moving infantry who cannot form a military formation in time can only be the result of the entire army being annihilated.  After this incident, Wei Jiang, a regiment commander who was a former Ming general, no longer dared to question Wang Zhi, his boss who came from a poor military family.

    The two sides set up camp thirty miles apart. The Qing army was waiting for the arrival of Han flags and artillery, while the Chinese army was forced to march for several days. The soldiers were physically exhausted and needed to refresh themselves and set up a stable camp.  , and more importantly, they have to wait for the supply battalions behind to deliver their continued ammunition and food.

    Three days later, the Han army flags finally arrived at the front line with heavy artillery, and the supply camp of the Great Chinese Army also sent ammunition, food and grass to the main camp. This also made the commanders of both sides heave a sigh of relief.

    At night, in a large golden tent in the Qing army's camp, the Qing army generals who had just finished their meeting came out of the tent in groups. The two brothers Dorgon and Duduo walked in as usual.  together.

    Dorgon, who was wearing white armor, and Duoduo, who was wearing white armor with red trim, looked very ugly at the moment. In the meeting just now, Hauge suggested to Huang Taiji that tomorrow Dorgon and Duduo should use white flags and white flags.  The Han army flag, which cooperated with Kong Youde, took the lead, and Huang Taiji actually agreed. Although the two of them strongly opposed it, the determined Huang Taiji insisted on it, but after all, his arms could not twist his thigh, so Dorgon and the two had no choice but to  took over this task.

    Duduo, who was walking behind Dorgon, became more and more unwilling to think about it. He gritted his teeth and asked: "Brother Fourteen, do we really have to send our warriors to die tomorrow? It should be noted that the firearms of the Han people are not generally ferocious.  If the losses are too serious, the lives of our tribesmen in the two banners will be difficult in the future!"

    "What's the point of being sad! What's there to be sad about!"

    Dorgon turned around and glared at Duduo and reprimanded: "If we can't repel the Chinese army, our Qing Dynasty will only be destroyed. Then it won't be a hard question!"

    Duduo was anxious and struggled to say: "But you can't just send us there. We are obviously going to die for them! Brother Fourteen, the two flags of Zhengbai and Xiangbai are ours.  Gen, you must not make any mistakes!"

    Dorgon's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and he sneered: "Some people want to use the help of the Great Chinese Army to weaken our strength, huh it's not that easy! The Han people haveAs the old saying goes, just read the songbook and wait and see. If you really piss me off, we are not without the ability to fight back.  Come on, let¡¯s go to King Gongshun¡¯s big tent to visit King Gongshun.  "

    "ah"

    For a moment, Duduo was stunned
