After riding a few steps forward, Yangguli turned to look at the north wall of Fanjiazhuang and asked Mele Zhangjing next to him: "What is the name of the general of the Ming army in Fanjiazhuang?"
"We didn't pay attention to a guard officer before and had no intelligence!"
Yangguli sighed and asked: "If the Ming army in the city leaves the city and fights with us in the field, what will be the result?"
Melezhangjing gritted his teeth and said: "Our Qing warriors' combat skills are far superior to those of the nine-sided Ming army, let alone this garrison army. If we fight head-on, this Ming army will be overwhelmed by our Qing warriors as soon as we engage in battle!" He paused.
After a while, Melezhangjing hesitated and said: "It's just that this army's guns and cannons are too strong. Now that our army has been newly defeated, its morale has been dampened. I don't know if it can charge forward. It is very possible that it will be defeated by the cannons and cannons halfway. The outcome is
Unpredictable.”
Yangu Li nodded and took a breath.
The strength of this Fanjiazhuang Ming army is truly shocking. Nowadays, even in field battles, which the Qing army is best at, Yang Guli is not confident of victory.
Returning to the main camp, Yang Guli had no intention of staying at Fanjiazhuang anymore, so he immediately encouraged the defeated troops to break camp and head north. The losses at Zhenghuang Banner were so heavy that the warriors no longer had the intention to set off, so it was not appropriate to fight again at this time. Sincerely,
The best thing is to stay in the north with peace of mind and safely return the tens of thousands of people and materials looted to Shenyang.
Although nearly 4,000 people were lost, with these 40,000 Ming people as slaves, Zhenghuang Banner's health could slowly recover, and this trip into the Ming capital was generally a good deal.
With tens of thousands of Ming people in custody, Yang Guli's team slowly left Fanjiazhuang and headed towards Baodi. With these crying Ming people in custody, the Qing army moved very slowly. These Ming slaves were already malnourished.
Weak, now being escorted by the Qing soldiers, one foot was deep and the other was shallow, and several people fell down every mile they walked.
For those Ming slaves who fell, the Qing soldiers would kill them a few more times to make sure they were dead before throwing them on the road.
However, Yang Guli was not afraid of encountering the Ming army if he marched too slowly. This time the Qing army entered the pass and won all the more than 20 battles. Except for the battle at Fanjiazhuang, the Qing army was invincible in every battle. Yang Guli didn't believe it.
Zhi Mingjun dared to come up and challenge him.
Even if he encounters 10,000 Ming troops, even if he relies on the half-disabled Zhenghuang Banner, Yang Guli is confident that he will defeat the enemy. After all, he still has 400 white toothed warriors and 900 elite vests in his hands.
As soon as the elite cavalry charged forward, ten thousand Ming troops would be overwhelmed. And with six thousand auxiliary soldiers, their combat effectiveness exceeded that of the average Ming army.
The guardsmen of the Ming Dynasty were always vulnerable. Yangguli did not believe that the guardsmen near Tianjin dared to challenge him.
Yang Guli knew other Ming troops, but underestimated the courage of Fanjiazhuang Ming troops.
Yangguli walked ten miles north, when suddenly a cloud of smoke billowed behind him, and fifty vests who were scouting the enemy's situation suddenly ran back. The leader, Zhuanda, jumped off his horse and half-knelt on the ground, and said loudly:
"Sir, the Ming army in Fanjiazhuang has come out!"
####
Li Zhi looked at the Tatar corpses on the battlefield and asked the soldiers to go up and deal with them - kill the seriously injured Tatars, cut off their heads, and remove their armor.
After clearing the battlefield, Li Zhi found that he had captured 4,007 heads, and most of them were the heads of Tatar elite horse armor and infantry - he beat Zhenghuang Banner to half a disability - from Sarhu
After the war, no Ming army had ever obtained so many Tatar heads on the frontal battlefield. Handing over these heads would definitely be a great victory, and a great victory would inevitably lead to promotion and wealth.
I don’t know if Tianjin, led by He Shishou, will ask him to give out his heads to other generals. Lu Xiangsheng said that dividing the battle merit is a routine in the army. He is not lying to himself. I guess TJ will not be an exception. He probably still needs his head.
With so many heads, all civil servants and generals in Tianjin will be promoted this time.
The officials in Tianjin got a huge advantage for nothing.
Li Xing and several other senior officers were extremely excited and gathered around Li Zhi, chattering about the results of the battle.
"Brother! This time the Tatars were beaten badly by us!"
Zheng Kaicheng smiled and said: "Sir, we only injured four people this time! Two were slightly injured and two were seriously injured."
Zhong Feng said excitedly: "The Tatars fled north and dare not go further south!"
Li Zhi looked at the Qing army retreating slowly in the distance and asked, "Why are the Tatars retreating so slowly?"
Li Laosi frowned and said: "My boss, the Tatars are holding tens of thousands of Ming people, and these people move slowly!"
Li Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Let's save these Ming people!"
Several senior generals were stunned for a while, and it took them a long time to react. Zheng Kaicheng said: "Your Excellency, you are talking about fighting the Tatars in the field? Your Excellency, the Tatars' field fighting ability far exceeds that of our soldiers!"
Even Zhong Feng, who usually likes to shout and kill, said: "Sir, fighting in the wild is the Tatars' strength. The Tatars still have eight thousand soldiers and horses, and it is very dangerous for us to fight out!"
Li Zhi said calmly: "When the Tatars are discouraged by their defeat, I will annihilate these Zhenghuang Banner Tatars in the wild. You gather your troops and follow me on the expedition!"
"grown ups..."
Li Zhi said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind, don't say any more!"
Several officers looked at each other and did not dare to say anything more, so they could only go down to summon the troops.
The horn sounded, and the 3,700 riflemen and 300 artillerymen of the Huben Division quickly assembled. Li Zhi rode in the front row, asked his guards to hold high the banner with the word "Li", and led the troops to march north towards the Tatars under the Zhenghuang Banner.
Zi chased after him.
After walking for three hours, Li Zhi caught up with the slowly advancing Tatars.

Yang Guli was furious when Li Zhijun caught up with him.
This Ming army killed four thousand warriors of the Qing Dynasty and earned enough military exploits on themselves, but they were still not satisfied and wanted to pursue and kill themselves. Could it be that this Ming army wanted to force itself to spit out all the people and wealth it had robbed, so that
Do you want to flee back to the north with only the remaining soldiers?
Wouldn't it be that Yang Guli's entry into the Pass was a waste of men and horses. As a result, not to mention the other seven flags, at least the Zhenghuang Banner was afraid of being beaten by the Ming army, and would not dare to enter the Pass easily in the future.
If you send these 40,000 people to Shenyang, even if you lose your troops and horses, you will have an explanation. The emperor will at most deprive you of your title. If you abandon these Ming people and lose 4,000 warriors by entering the Pass,
If not a single Ming citizen was plundered, the emperor would definitely put him in jail on the spot.
Who is the general of this Ming army? Does he want my life, Yangguli?
This Ming army is really too arrogant. Don’t they know the reputation of our Houjin and Qing soldiers in field battles? A mere four thousand soldiers and horses dare to challenge eight thousand Qing soldiers? Even if I, Zhenghuang Banner, just lost a battle, it is not
Four thousand Ming troops can challenge it. Although I lost the siege battle in the morning, I still have 400 white pendulums and 900 horse armors. These warriors are all double-layered heavy armor. These elites rush into the formation to fight,
Even ten thousand Ming troops would be overwhelmed.
Yangguli's brave and combative character took over his mind again. He turned his horse's head and glared at the Ming army that was slowly pursuing him from afar, and said loudly: "The whole army will follow me to the south to kill the enemy!"
All the Jia La Zhang Jing sang loudly and rushed to their Jia La to mobilize their troops.
The trumpet blew and the war drums beat, and the four hundred white-armored soldiers and nine hundred horse-armored soldiers under the Zhenghuang flag mounted their war horses, preparing to charge into the formation as cavalry. Two thousand eight hundred followers in cotton armor and four thousand unarmored auxiliary soldiers also turned around.
To the south, engage the enemy with infantry.
Yangguli's Zhijin Longzhu slowly moved to the south and led eight thousand warriors in formation southward. The white armor soldiers of the Qing army were on the west wing, the horse armors were on the east wing, and the infantry were in the center. They marched hand in hand to meet Fanjiazhuang's four thousand warriors in the field.
The challenge of the Ming army.
