The battle to attack Haizhou City has come to an end. Although Sun Chuanting and He Ren  The dragon took away 80,000 soldiers, resulting in less than 70,000 soldiers attacking Haizhou City. However, Jiangning Camp had already controlled the overall situation. The remaining Houjin Tatars were trapped beasts still fighting, and because of the tight external defense  The Houjin Tatars had long been exhausted from the brutal and non-stop fighting. Even if most of the soldiers responsible for the ambush outside the city had withdrawn, they would not know it.  The battle lasted until the morning of the third day. Hong Chengchou spoke and asked Ma Xianglin, who was commanding the attack, to completely annihilate the Houjin Tatars in Haizhou City within one day and end the battle.  Dorgon felt that a disaster was coming. Although he couldn't believe it, why did the warriors of the Eight Banners suffer such heavy losses and defeats in just a few days? Could it be that the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners' children had declined, because they fought in Cangzhou?  At that time, Jiangning camp was not so brave.  It is difficult for people to completely change their thinking and understanding in a short period of time. The same is true for Dorgon. He will not accept the change from cold weapon warfare to hot weapon warfare in a short period of time, let alone Dorgon.  Gun, even Hong Chengchou and others, if they had not followed Su Tiancheng for a long time and witnessed the power of firearms with their own eyes, they might not be able to turn this corner in a while.  The law lost its temper, and all the methods to change it were used, but the situation could not be changed.  Dorgon¡¯s 40,000 soldiers, in just two days, there are less than 10,000 left.  If it weren¡¯t for the harsh reality before him, Dorgon might have thought it was a dream.  The children of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were so brave, galloping through the pass, so that the Ming army did not dare to show their faces.  They didn't dare to fight. Only a few years had passed. Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner were one of the most courageous armies of the Qing Dynasty. They had participated in countless battles. Why were they defeated miserably in this battle?  The cry of killing came from outside.  The attack by the sergeants of Jiangning Battalion began.  From the sound, Dorgon felt that this was a large-scale attack, and it was probably the most violent charge launched by the Jiangning Battalion sergeants. The purpose was very clear, which was to completely wipe out the sergeants under his command.  Dorgon calmly tidied up his armor. He wanted to personally participate in the fighting. At this point, there was no such thing as sitting in command.  The final moments have come.  Dorgon felt the same pride as Daishan, that is, almost none of his soldiers surrendered, and all fought to the last breath. This stems from the pride of the Manchus and the honor of the Manchus.  Dorgon strode towards the outside, his officers did not stop him, and the soldiers surrounded him.  After Hong Chengchou¡¯s order was issued.  Ma Xianglin, who was directing the battle, was also anxious. In fact, the progress of the battle was very good.  Compared with the previous battles, this battle was already considered a huge victory. However, as the senior general of the Jiangning Battalion, Ma Xianglin knew the deployment of the entire battle and also knew that the army could not delay in Haizhou for too long.  Therefore, the seemingly unreasonable order to annihilate all the Houjin Tatars who were stubbornly resisting in one day made Ma Xianglin's fighting spirit rise.  Ma Xianglin began to issue orders, starting from the first wave of attacks in the morning, giving up the form of assault by small groups of troops.  Instead of using a large group of troops to charge, this may cause relatively large casualties, but it can also defeat and annihilate the Houjin Tartars as quickly as possible. You must know that the dense bullets fired by the flintlock guns are not explosive at all.  able to resist.  Ma Xianglin directs the battle at the forefront.  In fact, with the maturity of Jiangning Battalion's combat system, the previous practice of commanding the guards to charge at the front has been abandoned. Unless the battle reaches the most critical moment, the commander's main responsibility is to formulate practical combat plans.  At the beginning of the battle, command the army to attack and try to avoid heavy casualties. The soldiers of Jiangning Battalion also understand this truth. If the commander charges with them and something unexpected happens, the army will lose command and be leaderless. That will cause even greater losses.  .  But after issuing the order for a large-scale attack, Ma Xianglin resolutely went to the forefront. He was even able to see with his naked eyes the fighting between the soldiers of Jiangning Camp and the Houjin Tatars.  The casualties have increased significantly.  Ma Xianglin was unmoved. Lord Hong Chengchou's order was very clear. The required result was that since there was a fight, there would be casualties. Some casualties could be avoided, some could not be avoided. For the sake of the overall combat deployment, some sacrifices must be made.  While the casualties increased, the initiative quickly came into the hands of the Jiangning Battalion soldiers. You must know that in the face of such an attack, the casualties of the Houjin Tatars would be even more severe.  It¡¯s been two daysMa Xianglin, who had not closed his eyes at night, his eyes were red, holding a telescope, looking motionlessly at the fighting ahead.  A large number of Houjin Tatars rushed out of a house, which attracted Ma Xianglin's attention. From the telescope, it could be clearly seen that most of the people rushing out were on horseback, and there were certain golden ones in the middle.  The helmet moves.  When fighting in the city, the cavalry does not have much power and cannot play a decisive role. On the contrary, when faced with flintlock guns, the war horse becomes the target of shooting. Once the war horse is shot and falls, the sergeant on the horse will easily  He was knocked unconscious from the fall, and even more seriously, he was crushed under his horse and died on the spot. Therefore, after the soldiers of Jiangning Battalion invaded Haizhou City, they gave up the way of cavalry fighting.  The golden helmet made Ma Xianglin excited. He knew very well that the person wearing the golden helmet in the middle of the team was Dorgon, Prince Rui, the leader of Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner of Later Jin Dynasty. This Dorgon was the most brave in Hou Jin Dynasty.  Flag owner.  Putting down the telescope, Ma Xianglin shouted, "Come with me," and rushed forward. The soldiers and guards around him hurriedly followed.  Ma Xianglin charged personally, and many soldiers knew that the last moment had arrived.  The soldiers swarmed in, rushing forward from all directions.  .  .  Dorgon's body was carried to Hong Chengchou.  Dorgon committed suicide. Seeing the soldiers and officers around him fall one by one, Dorgon knew that there was no hope of survival. He was the most courageous flag master in the Qing Dynasty.  One of the most elite troops in the Qing Dynasty, if Prince Rui of the Qing Dynasty was captured alive, the news would spread, and it would be a huge blow to Shenyang.  Dorgon knew very well that over the years, he had led his soldiers into the pass to plunder, and the killings committed by the Han people were huge. After being captured alive, there might not necessarily be a good ending.  Also driven by this mentality, Dorgon chose to commit suicide.  At the same time, the injured Ma Xianglin was also carried to Dorgon.  Ma Xianglin's injury was a bit serious. He was stabbed from the shoulder blade by a knife. If the blade had been lower, Ma Xianglin would not have thought about surviving. However, Ma Xianglin's charge and injury greatly stimulated the soldiers. Many soldiers charged regardless of their own safety, making the battle more difficult.  In about an hour, it was basically over.  Hong Chengchou ordered the medical officers around him to take good care of Ma Xianglin.  Ma Xianglin insisted not to leave the main force and would never return to Gaizhou to recuperate. He wanted to follow the main force.  Hong Chengchou did not hesitate and agreed to Ma Xianglin's request.  Looking at Dorgon's body, Hong Chengchou was filled with emotion. Lu Xiangsheng led the army to capture Guangning, beheaded Prince Daishan of Jinli, and led his soldiers to attack Haizhou, forcing Prince Rui Dorgon to commit suicide.  The banner owners of Hou Jin's Manchu Eight Banners were all extraordinary Manchus. Except for Duduo, the banner owner of the Yuanxiang White Banner, who had long been killed by the Jiangning camp, there were only three remaining banner owners. Among them, the Zhenghuang Banner and the Xianghuang Banner were  The leader is Huang Taiji, the leader of Zhenglan Banner is Hauge, and the leader of Xianglan Banner is Jierhalang.  The Zhenghong Banner, Xianghong Banner, Zhengbai Banner, and Xiangbai Banner, which belonged to the Eight Banners, no longer exist. They were all wiped out by the Jiangning Battalion, and the remaining ones can hardly support them for much longer.  Daishan was the oldest prince of Hou Jin, and Dorgon was the most courageous prince of Hou Jin. Both of them died, which indeed means that Hou Jin's energy has been exhausted.  Hong Chengchou ordered the soldiers to bury Dorgon safely, and at the same time wrote a letter to the emperor, reporting the situation of the battle in Haizhou, mainly reporting that Dorgon had died.  The losses suffered by the Jiangning Battalion soldiers were not small. It took half a day to clean the battlefield. During the attack on Haizhou, more than 10,000 Jiangning Battalion soldiers were killed.  But the rest time is only one night.  After daybreak, the army was about to set off for Anshan. According to the information Hong Chengchou received, Anshan had almost become an empty city. Since the Jiangning Battalion began to attack Haizhou, the Houjin Tatars stationed in Anshan had withdrawn to Liaoyang. However,  The Houjin Tartars stationed in Liaoyang numbered less than 10,000. Dorgon's 50,000 Manchu Eight Banners sergeants, 5,000 people in Yaozhou and 40,000 people stationed in Haizhou were almost all annihilated.  At this point, Hong Chengchou has understood that taking Haizhou is equivalent to taking Anshan and Liaoyang. The Houjin Tatars stationed in Liaoyang will not be able to resist without reinforcements. Besides, Dorgon committed suicide.  The news will soon spread to Anshan and Liaoyang. As long as the time comes, the Houjin Tatars in Liaoyang will have no fighting spirit at all.  At dawn, the large group of people set off.  Hong Chengchou looked at the dust-stained soldiers. Some of the soldiers even had blood stains on their bodies. Many of the soldiers who were decorated were simply bandaged.?The rest at night is mainly about sleeping and replenishing physical strength. It is impossible to do other things. His eyes are a little moist. This is the Jiangning Camp. The Jiangning Camp has been overwhelmed by military orders. If it were another army, it might not be able to do this.  of.  The scouts who delivered the message set out at night. They must rush to Guangning as soon as possible to report the good news to the emperor.  (To be continued)
