But at this time, the advantage of the Qing army was only on the front line. Several units of the Qing army broke away from the battle one after another, which caused the advantage on the battlefield to shift to the side of the Daping Army.
Seeing this situation, Dorgon cursed loudly. Although it looked a bit dangerous, the Xiaoqi Battalion and the Forward Battalion had blocked Ma Shouying's cavalry troops. With the surrounding infantry, Dorgon was always able to protect himself.
But now the return reinforcements of these Qing troops, although out of good intentions, have resulted in a shortage of offensive forces. So Dorgon kept shouting and sent out all his own soldiers, just to make them
These Qing troops still went to the battlefield and continued their offensive against the Daping Army.
But at this moment, a burst of cheers suddenly came from the rear of the Daping Army, and the cheers became louder and louder, gradually resounding throughout the entire battlefield. Dorgon's face suddenly changed.
The unexpected cheers caused both armies to shrink their battle lines. So the two armies invariably shrank into a defensive formation to prevent possible accidents. As the smoke gradually dissipated after the strong wind blew, the field of vision on the battlefield
It also gradually became clear.
Behind the formation of the Daping Army, troops were slowly deployed one after another and were about to be thrown into the battlefield. Among these troops, there was a yellow guard of honor, which was the arrival of the 10,000 reinforcements led by Wu Shigong.
"Reinforcements! Reinforcements! Han dogs are coming for reinforcements!"
The faces of the Qing soldiers everywhere on the battlefield changed, and the Qing generals surrounding Dorgon also exclaimed in surprise.
Ten thousand reinforcements are not a lot in terms of strength. They still cannot reverse the strength disadvantage of the Daping Army. But they have a very profound meaning. This represents the failure of the Abatai tribe's strategy of entering the pass and attacking from both front and rear.
Reinforcements from the Taiping Army will continue to arrive.
So Dorgon immediately screamed: "Withdraw troops! Withdraw to Shanhaiguan!"
When the officers and soldiers of the Daping Army saw Wu Shigong appearing on the battlefield, they immediately burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami: "Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"
Wu Shigong smiled and waved to the soldiers. Then he smiled at Xue Yongli and said, "I just came to take a look. Next, Uncle Yongli will take command!"
This decisive battle has come to an end. If it wins, the coach who directs it will receive extremely high honors. Therefore, Wu Shigong will not take the credit and just be a spectator.
Xue Yongli bowed to Wu Shigong on horseback, then raised his whip and pointed forward, loudly giving the order: "All troops attack!"
Following this order, all the officers and soldiers of the Daping Army immediately burst into cheers of victory.
…
On June 29th of the first year of Qiongyuan, the Daping army and the Qing army fought a decisive battle outside Shanhaiguan. After a day of fierce fighting, as reinforcements led by Wu Shigong arrived on the battlefield, the Qing army, which had lost its fighting spirit, retreated to Shanhaiguan.
In this battle, the Qing army suffered more than 40,000 casualties, while the Daping army suffered more than 30,000 casualties. However, the Daping army was supplemented by reinforcements from all walks of life, but the Qing army had no potential to tap, so the Qing army had lost
It has the ability to attack from Shanhaiguan.
After returning to Shanhaiguan, Dorgon killed Hauge on the charges of "disobeying military orders" and "plotting evil intentions", and further seized the power of the Qing Dynasty. But then he heard the bad news that Pegasus Town in Zug was successfully
They broke through the blockade of Sony and entered the two cities of Ningyuan and Zhenyuan.
With the participation of more than 24,000 cavalry and 10,000 civilians in Pegasus Town, as well as the transportation of a large amount of grain, grass and military equipment, the Qing army not only could not blockade these two cities outside the pass, but also had to always be prepared for the attack of the Daping Army.
The retreat route of the Qing army was cut off. Therefore, the current Qing army was immediately in an absolutely passive situation in the battle of two cities and one pass.
The Daping Army, which suffered heavy casualties, also temporarily lost the ability to attack. Moreover, during this day's battle, Ma Shouying, who was ill during the battle, also died of overwork after the war. This also made Wu Shigong sigh. But no matter what
It can be said that the Daping Army achieved the strategic goal of blocking the Qing army from entering the Pass, so it can be said that it achieved a decisive victory in the battle.
In the following July and August, the Qing army was supplemented by the Abatai tribe. The Daping army from Sichuan, Shaanxi, Huguang, Shandong and Jiangnan also marched to the Shanhaiguan battlefield one by one. Again
In addition, the auxiliary troops who had completed training were replenished to the troops damaged in the battle. The strength of the Daping Army was not only restored, but also further strengthened.
During this period, the Qing army also went out several times to engage in fierce battles with the Daping Army. However, as the fighting force became farther and farther away, the hope of the Qing army to break through the Shanhaiguan blockade became increasingly slim.
At the end of August, Dorgon saw that it was difficult to open up the situation, so he could only stay at Shanhaiguan to guard Wu Sangui's Guanning Cavalry Division and the Qing Army's 40,000-strong army to block the Daping Army's exit. He led the main force to the Korean battlefield first.
We must deal with this partial division of the Daping Army.
But when the news of the victory at Shanhaiguan reached Jiangnan, Zheng Zhilong was very adaptable to the wind. He lent all the ships he could muster to the Daping Dynasty, performing a wonderful "face-changing" performance.
However, Zheng Zhilong's borrowing of ships happened to solve the difficulties of the Daping Army. Once the typhoon season was over, the Daping Army's 12,000 soldiers and horses once again crossed the sea and entered the DPRK. With this support force, they faced the main force of the Qing army, the naval and land forces.
The team was always able to protect itself. With the subsequent arrival of the third batch of 6,000 reinforcements and a large number of artillery ordnance, the Daping Army's Anju defense line in North Korea was finally stabilized.
In October of the first year of Qiongyuan, the Daping Army, which had assembled 210,000 troops, began to launch a general attack on Shanhaiguan. The 50,000 Daping Army, led by He Fei, exited the Great Wall Pass and formed a two-sided pincer attack on Shanhaiguan.
situation.
On the ninth day of October, when the Sony and Aobai tribes saw the reinforcements of the Daping Army approaching, they took the initiative to lift the siege of Ningyuan and the Central Plains cities and retreated to Jinzhou to form a new defense line. Shanhaiguan became an isolated city.
On October 13, the Daping Army fought fiercely with Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Cavalry in Xiluo City. The Da Ping Army had a small victory, which caused the Guan Ning Cavalry to lose the ability to leave the city and fight in the field. Then, the entire Daping Army stormed Dongluo, and the two troops on the north wing were defeated.
city.
Seeing that he was heavily surrounded, Wu Sangui sent envoys to the Daping Army to discuss surrender. However, the Daping Army went against the norm and put forward harsh surrender conditions to Wu Sangui. Not only would the entire Guan Ning Cavalry army be reorganized, but the generals of Guan Ning Cavalry would also lose their command.
They had the right to become civilians and lose all the land they owned outside the customs.
All of this was mainly due to Wu Shigong's dislike of Wu Sangui in history, so these harsh conditions made Wu Sangui hesitant to surrender.
On the evening of the 16th, rebels appeared in Shanhaiguan and surrendered to the Daping Army. The Daping Army took advantage of the situation and rushed into the city. Wu Sangui also died in the battle. Shanhaiguan was recovered.
The recovery of Shanhaiguan also proved the re-establishment of the continuous Guanning Defense Line. With the main force of the Daping Army leaving the Pass, the North Korean Marine Corps was further strengthened, coupled with the attack on the pro-Mongolian tribes on the grassland
, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been besieged by layers of yoke of the Daping Army.
The outcome of the Qing Dynasty War has been decided!
