"At that time, the battle was going crazy, and the soldiers didn't feel tired at all. They chased the Tatars hard like wind and clouds, and chased them all the way to the outskirts of She County before encountering resistance?? ("Memoirs of a Veteran of the Northern Expedition"
》)
Wang Guoxi chased Zhang Hongde, killing! Kill! Kill! After Zhang Hongde fled to the outskirts of She County, only 3,000 soldiers and horses were left out of 6,000. However, he finally escaped to his own territory, the defense area of Liu Fangming, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army. Like Zhang Yong, Liu Fangming was once a subordinate of Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Shaanxi Province. His hands were stained with the blood of the rebels. Due to his meritorious service, he was incorporated into the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army. His five thousand soldiers and horses were originally stationed in Ningxia and were transferred to the south of the Yangtze River.
Able to fight.
Liu Fangming was shocked when he saw Zhang Hongde: "Mr. Zhang, why are you here?"
Zhang Hongde looked embarrassed and said, "It's hard to say that the Ming army crossed the Xin'an River."
"Send someone quickly to report to the general. You and I will join forces to stop the Ming army first."
The two men combined eight thousand troops and formed a formation to block Wang Guoxi. Wang Guoxi rushed to the outskirts of She County, leaving people to guard the prisoners along the way and garrisoned the key roads. There were only ten thousand soldiers and horses in hand, and they were tired from the long battle, so they could not attack them for a while.
Military formation, fighting together.
General Qing Dingnan and Prince Jidu of Duoluojian County were completely panicked. Don't blame him, he was only nineteen years old and had never fought in a war before. He looked at Hong Chengchou as if asking for help, "Hong Jinglue, what do you think we should do?" "General, the Ming army has crossed the Xin'an River, and there is no danger to defend She County. We should quickly abandon She County and evacuate to Ningguo Mansion. In addition, the Ming army outside the city is probably the vanguard of the Ming army. We should take advantage of the fact that the main force has not arrived.
We must quickly defeat them beforehand, so as not to affect our army’s retreat."
"Okay. Melezhangjing Turma, you immediately lead four Jia La Manba Banners to assist General Liu in defeating the Ming army outside the city," Jidu hurriedly ordered.
"嗻!"
"Remember, attack for a maximum of three hours. After three hours, no matter whether you can defeat the Ming army or not, you must retreat quickly," Hong Chengchou warned.
"You will eventually understand!"
After Jidu mobilized Turma's 6,000 Manba Banners to attack, only 4,000 Manba Banners and Hong Chengchou's 14,000 Chinese Army were left. Under the protection of Admiral Li Benshen and Xi (bodyguard) Zhang Dayuan, the two were as panic-stricken as bereft dogs.
, fled north towards Ningguo Mansion.
Emperor Shunzhi's national policy was to "use Han to control Han", but he did not have absolute trust in high-ranking Han officials like Hong Chengchou. In addition to appointing Jidu as General Dingnan, he also sent two shrimps (guards) to Hong Chengchou: Zhang Dayuan and Liu Zhong
, holding the rank of general, is obviously to help him, but in fact it also means to monitor and check and balance.
After all, Hong Chengchou had seen big scenes and retreated without chaos. He issued military orders while retreating.
"Order Zhang Yong, Liu Zhong, and Li Ruchun to quickly evacuate Ningguo Mansion to the north."
"Order the general troops of Chizhou to abandon the southern part of Chizhou in Yongshou and defend the northern part of Chizhou along the Jiuhua Mountain and Chikou River."
"Order Caojiang Governor Li Ripeng and deputy general Liang Dayong to guard the Anqing waterway and not allow the Poyang Lake Navy of the Ming Army to enter Jiangning."
Although Jidu has little combat experience, he also knows in his heart that this is going to be a full contraction. Alas! I didn't expect that I, a great Qing Dynasty, would be forced into this by the Nikans. Although I feel uncomfortable, the situation is stronger than others, and he can't help it. Escape.
??
"My sons, let the Ming army see the bravery of the Eight Banners soldiers and kill them with me!"
Melezhangjing Turma roared like a tiger and led four Jia La and six thousand Manchurian Eight Banners to attack the Ming Army's Kingdom Seal Department.
These people are all Aha from Manchu noble families. Almost all of them have served as personal soldiers of various masters. They are veterans and have rich battlefield experience.
"Da da da", rush to the front of the Ming army formation, quickly turn the horse's head, hold out a long knife or a sword, and use the power of the horse to cut off the heads of the long spears. After passing by the Ming army, they turn around and charge repeatedly. .After the Ming army's spear array became sparse, they began to use Niulu as a unit to rush into the array and kill them in columns.
With the help of the real Manchurian army, Liu Fangming and Zhang Hongde were greatly refreshed, and then they killed them.
"Brothers, hold on, the army to supervise the country will be here soon," Wang Guoxi shouted loudly to boost morale. But in his heart, he secretly complained: I was careless, I was careless! I shouldn't have rushed in so fast and fell into a wolf's den. .If the reinforcements don’t come, I’ll have to give up my more than 100 kilograms here!
It seems that God heard the cry of Wang Guoxi, "ta da da", smoke and dust billowed, and the nine thousand cavalry of Sun Guangwei of the Ming army came and killed him. He originally had ten thousand cavalry, but after several bloody battles, only nine thousand were left.
Turma was a habitual general. As soon as he saw the smoke and dust raised by the Ming army, he knew that the opponent's cavalry was more numerous than his own. He did not dare to fight, so he told Liu Fangming and Zhang Hongde: "Hong Jinglue ordered us to attack for three hours at most and then retreat." , now three hours have come, retreat quickly!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran away with six thousand Manchurian Eight Banners.
He was a cavalryman and could escape quickly, but due to Liu Fangming and Zhang Hongde's infantry, they had to form a formation while retreating slowly.
There was another burst of smoke and dust, and the elephant soldiers of Longzhou Tuwei commander Shi Zhaoxi arrived. Elephants can move faster than people, so the second batch of his troops arrived.
Zhao Xi's tribe originally had 300 elephants, but dozens of them were lost in the battle, and there were still more than 200 elephants left.
Although the number is not as large as the Battle of Maozhushan, it is still astonishingly powerful.
The real Manchurian army fled, and the Green Camp soldiers were already frightened. When they saw these behemoths, they were heartbroken.
"Run quickly!"
Someone in the chaos shouted, and the green camp soldiers fled in all directions, and the military formation immediately dispersed.
No matter how fast a person runs, he cannot outrun the horse. If the infantry wants to escape from the pursuit of the cavalry, it is basically impossible to escape.
The smart ones knelt down and begged to surrender and saved their heads; the unsmart ones just ran forward and were overtaken by the galloping cavalry and had their heads chopped off.
Liu Fangming was trampled to death by an elephant, and Zhang Hongde was beheaded by cavalry. Only a few hundred of their eight thousand subordinates escaped.
"Oh, brother Sun Xian, thank you for arriving quickly, otherwise I would have been lying here."
"Hmph, you are too greedy, you deserve it! You are not willing to accept the first achievement of crossing the river. You want to conquer She County in one go and kill Ji Du and Hong Chengchou. You have eaten all the meat. What's wrong? You can't even drink the soup.
Don’t you want to leave it to our cavalry to drink?”

Wang Guoxi laughed and said, "How can you not! Brother Fool owes Brother Xian a great favor, and he will definitely repay it in the future. Brother Xian, the Tatars have been defeated. Why don't we join forces and chase for a while? Maybe we can really cut off the head of the Hong thief." Sun Guangwei chuckled, "Fuck me, in order to save you, the Supervisor ordered us to run non-stop. Didn't you see that our horses were foaming at the foam? Horses are more valuable than people, so we have to stop and rest quickly."
??
Generals Zhang Yong, Liu Zhong, and Li Ruchun received the military order from Hong Chengchou and ran to Ningguo Mansion.
Liu Wenxiu, Ma Jinzhong, Wu Bangxian and other Ming troops followed closely behind.
The Qing army lost thousands of people, but they still couldn't escape the pursuit of the Ming army.
Zhang Yong summoned Liu Zhong and Li Ruchun, "General Liu, General Li, this is not possible. We have to fight a battle, otherwise the army will collapse before Ning Guo."
"What do you think of General Zhang?"
"We are about to reach the foot of Xiaoling in the west of Huangshan Mountain. The mountains here are not high, so the Ming army must not be very vigilant. It is better to ambush them here."
"Good!"
Ma Jinzhong and Wu Bangxian were chasing the Qing army in a hurry, but suddenly they saw a mountain blocking their way.
"Call!"
Ma Jinzhong reined in his horse and ordered to stop.
Wu Bangxian asked: "Uncle Wuchang, why don't you leave?"
"This is a mountainous area. You have to be careful of Tatar ambush. It's better to wait for the general to come before pursuing you."
"By the time the commander arrives, the Tatars will have already disappeared. How about I go in front and you in the back, even if there is an ambush, you can respond. How about that?"
Ma Jinzhong took a look and saw that the mountain didn't look dangerous, "That's fine, I'll just follow you and be careful."
Wu Bangxian led 5,000 people to go ahead. The foot of the ridge looked safe, but it was deep. After walking for several miles, he still didn't get out. He was extremely anxious, fearing that the Qing army would escape far away and would not be able to make any achievements.
Suddenly, when trumpets and cannons were heard, Zhang Yong came out from Shiren Peak, Liu Zhong, came out from Baiyun Creek, and Li Ruchun came out from Baimen Creek.
Wu Bangxian hurriedly formed the formation and was killed in pieces. Fortunately, Ma Jinzhong from the rear team arrived and survived. After counting the troops, more than a thousand people were lost.
The second general did not dare to pursue anymore. By the time Liu Wenxiu arrived, Zhang Yong and other generals had already fled to Longmen Mountain in Ningguo Prefecture to set up defenses.
