762 The bane of this war
He even forgot the most basic kneeling ceremony. He stood firm and pointed outside, and stammered: "Your Majesty, the Mongols ran away!"
Hearing this, everyone in the Central Army's tent was stunned. No matter how much they thought, they would never have imagined that at this point, the Mongols would actually run away?
When they came to their senses, the leaders of Jianlu didn't care about Huang Taiji's majesty and quickly got out of the central army's tent to see the situation. Including Huang Taiji himself, he hurriedly drove him out to see what was going on!
After leaving the central army's tent, the chaotic sound of horse hooves was clearly heard. In the Jianlu camp, more and more Jianlu also came out of the tent to see the movement.
I saw that the Mongolians were confiscated and ran north on horseback. In just a while, the Mongolians who ran first could no longer see them! I guess it would take no longer to take long before the Mongolians would run away!
The leaders of Jianlu who reacted were all angry.
"Your Majesty, the last general will lead the army to recover them!"
There is another more ruthless attitude: "Your Majesty, escape at the last moment, and the last general will chase them!"
“…”
Huang Taiji looked blankly, turned to see the situation in his camp, and then looked at the direction of Gaizhou City. Finally, he looked back at the Mongolians who were fleeing, without saying anything.
In just a while, the Mongolian camp ran away, and only the tents were still there. But it was not right. There seemed to be still the Mongolians who didn't run away. It seemed that they were from the Korqin tribe, and someone was riding a horse and galloping here.
"Your Majesty, the other tribes suddenly ran away for no reason, and all of them ran away!" Buhe rushed to arrive and reported in a panic.
The leader of You Jianlu stared at him and shouted loudly: "Why don't you stop them?"
"How can I stop that little man?" Buhe did not show weakness and immediately responded.
Hearing this answer, another leader of Jianlu asked again: "Why don't you come here to report in advance? Haven't you heard any news in advance?"
"They know the relationship between my Korqin tribe and the Qing Dynasty, and have kept a distance from my Korqin tribe. If they want to run away, will they notify me?" Buhe seemed angry when he was questioned by them. He turned around and pointed at the Mongolian camp and responded loudly, "Even a tent is confiscated and all are discarded here. The matter is so sudden. How could I know that such a thing would happen if they concealed my Korqin tribe?"
Seeing that there were still generals to question, Huang Taiji suddenly waved his hand to stop him with a deep exhaustion, "Don't say anything, send someone to investigate!"
After saying that, he looked at the head of Gaizhou City again, then turned around and returned to the Central Army tent.
Jirgalang and others also followed and looked at the city of Gaizhou, then looked at the situation in their camp. With a hint of helplessness in their anger, they also followed Huang Taiji.
They all understood that it was not that the emperor did not want to send people to chase, but that there was no such condition to chase. After the battle just now, the Qing soldiers were exhausted and had no food to eat, so how could they have the strength to chase?
In addition, the Qing Dynasty originally had more than 10,000 troops, but it was damaged when it was siege before, and the battle at Tushan was damaged again. In addition, Yue Tuo led two thousand elite cavalry away. Now the troops in the camp are only about 6,000, including the people from the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army. Not to mention chasing them, the most important thing now is to first appease the people from the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army.
These leaders of Jianlu, including those soldiers who saw the Mongols fleeing, all had a very low morale. At this point, even the allies ignored them and ran away without saying a word. Everyone knew that Gaizhou would not be able to be defeated, at least in the short term.
Gaizhou was defended by the Ming army. When the sea thawed in the spring of the next year, the Ming army's supplies would continue to be replenished through the sea. What should we do next in Haizhou? What's more, the army will no longer be able to dispatch to attack Ningjin in the future. Otherwise, if the Ming army on Gaizhou sends troops and captures Haizhou, it will cut off the army's retreat.
The Qing army was not large at first. In this Battle of Gaizhou, more than 2,000 people were lost, and the allies ran away. It seems that they will definitely not listen to the Qing Dynasty again. In this way, the Qing Dynasty's available troops will be greatly reduced in the future. In the future, the Ming Dynasty's Dongjiang Army, Guanning Army, and this newly emerging army may be short of force!
These are not what they care about the most. What they care about the most and the heavy blow is that the Ming army actually won a great victory against the Qing Dynasty after leaving the city! The psychological advantages established by the continuous victory against the Ming army were defeated in this battle and were gone!
Anyway, after thinking about it, it seems that the bright future of the Qing Dynasty has suddenly become dull!
In the central army tent, Huang Taiji and other leaders of Jianlu, including Fan Wencheng, who thought he was resourceful, were speechless and it was really hard to have a good idea for the current dilemma.
It took a long time before Huang Taiji sighed and said, "From the beginning of thinking about a quick battle, it laid the root of the defeat in this battle. Siege is not the leader of my Qing Dynasty!"
Seeing that he finally spoke, Dai Shan also asked with a frown: "Your Majesty, what should our army do next?"
What else can I do? There is nothing to choose in this situation now! When Huang Taiji was about to speak, Fan Wencheng made a statement: "Your Majesty, I think that the Ming army in Gaizhou is not only well-equipped, but also the military formation of the Qi family army, etc. It can be seen that it is definitely the most elite army in the Ming army. Now that our Qing Dynasty is short of food and grass, it is not appropriate to attack again. You can leave some people to watch Gaizhou, and then gather the entire army to block the Dongjiang army and annihilate it, and eliminate our Qing Dynasty's all-in-one major troubles!"
The persimmons still have to be picked up and pinched. The Ming army in Gaizhou could not move. Compared with the Dongjiang army, it was much weaker. What's more, the Dongjiang army still dared to attack northwards with a swagger. It was indeed a good opportunity to annihilate the Dongjiang army.
Thinking of this, Huang Taiji nodded and said, "Fan Qing's words are reasonable!"
Then, he ordered Jiergalang to select two thousand elite troops and continue to station here to monitor the Ming army in Gaizhou. Then he asked Dai Shan to lead a thousand cavalry to support his son Yuetuo, and to encircle and suppress the cavalry of the governor Denglai, and eliminate the great troubles of the Qing Dynasty.
Finally, Huang Taiji led the disabled soldiers back to Shenyang for rest. As for the Korqin tribe, he comforted him, reiterated his unbreakable ally relationship between the two sides, and asked Buhe to lead his old and weak back to the grassland. However, he also had a reminder to report the movements on the grassland to Shenyang after finding out.
The fierce battle in Gaizhou ended in such a fierce way!
