Chapter 1184 The Second Battle of Songjin (24)(1/2)

...

The deputy commander of Zhengbai Banner, Dong E Eshuo, was leading troops to be on the front line to be vigilant.

E Shuo was the eldest son of Dong E Xihan, a cavalry commander, and a native of Zhengbai Banner. He made many achievements in the army. In history, he was the highest commander of the guardian army and was later promoted to the first-class baron of the generation. But what he really famous was because his daughter Dong E was favored by Shunzhi and was promoted to the imperial concubine. His position was also promoted to the third-class nephew. After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Marquis because of his daughter.

According to folk legends, Emperor Shunzhi loved the Han concubine Dong Xiaowan very much. He didn't want to eat for Dong Xiaowan, and finally even became a monk.

The so-called Dong Xiaowan is actually E Shuo’s daughter, Dong E.

It was misrepresented just because they all had the word Dong.

Although the legend is fake, Shunzhi's love for Dong E is absolutely true. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is looking for her in the crowd and hide her charm in the golden house. If the fourth prince born by Dong E had not died early, she would have died early, and she would have had no chance of Kangxi ascending the throne at all.

Therefore, E Shuo also left his name in history with the legend of his daughter.

In this life, Shunzhi was still young and Dong E was just born. E Shuo had no chance to continue to be famous in history, because he will be buried here today.

...

Of course, E Shuo could not know that today would be his own death.

But as the deputy commander of Zhengbai Banner and a senior general of Jianlu Eight Banners, he had already clearly realized the danger he was facing. When the army's supplies and food continued to move forward, their cavalry were ordered to stay where they were, and the auxiliary government issued an order to wait for battle at any time. He was famous at that time, and some major changes must have occurred, so the auxiliary government would change.

During the half hour of waiting, E Shuo did not dare to neglect the situation at all.

Then, after the news came that Tu Xietuhan did not obey the order and had already led his troops away on his own, E Shuo felt even more frightened.

Therefore, when the explorer came to report that a large group of cavalry were chasing behind him and attacking the black flag of Khalkhazar Saktu Khan, he became nervous and frightened. According to the plan, the 40,000 cavalry of Zasaktu Khan should have been cut off from the rear in Jinzhou to stop the Ming army. Why did it appear here so soon? Could it be that the Ming army has already chased him?

Or maybe the enemy the auxiliary king wanted to prevent was not the Ming army, but the cavalry of Zasaktu Khan?

"Tell them, let them stop moving forward, I will send someone to report to the auxiliary government!" E Shuo realized that

The danger and misfortune of the Zazaktu cavalry, he shouted to the Xinqi.

But before he finished speaking, E Shuo suddenly heard a huge uproar in front of him, but he sent out the cavalry to retreat. The leader shouted in panic: "Deputy Chief, no, the Zasaktu cavalry are coming..."

"Khalkha, you're really betrayed. Hurry up, go and report to the auxiliary king!"

E Shuo was shocked.

At this time, the horse hooves behind him were rushing, and Suksaha rushed over in person and shouted at E Shuo: "E Shuo! The master has an order to block the Zasaktu cavalry. No one can take a step back until he hears the sound of the gong!"

"Yeah!"

E Shuo knew that the Auxiliary King had already known it, so he agreed, pulled out his waist knife, and shouted with a pale face: "Warriors, follow me to kill~~"

"Kill!" The dozen white-armored soldiers around E Shuo responded, but the remaining armored cavalry all showed fear and shrank and did not dare to move forward. It was not because of their timidity, but because of the knights rushing towards the Zasaktu cavalry, which was too huge. Rumbled, and the horse's hooves stepped on the ground, like thunder. Before the night was about to come and the earth was about to cover the darkness, we could only see the rushing Zasaktu cavalry endlessly, covering the field, but we couldn't know how many people were...

"What are the dog slaves standing there? Kill them!"

Suksaha shouted, and used the horse whip in his hand to beat the armored cavalry that showed fear.

"Run, retreat, and then kill!"

E Shuo shouted, then took the lead in rushing forward.

But after rushing for less than a hundred steps, the Khalkha cavalry's arrows hit.

Puff puff puff puff puff.

It's like rain hitting the beach, extremely dense.

ah.

There was a burst of exclamation, and the war horses neighed and fell down.

Then, the Khalkha cavalry rushed over and the two sides fought together.

Not long after, E Shuo was submerged. I don’t know if he was killed in battle or was crushed to the horse...

...

In addition to some of the Zhengbai Banners, the Inlaid Yellow Banners and the Zhenglan Banners, the Han Army Banners and the Korchin left-wing Mongolian cavalry, the total number is more than 10,000 cavalry. If the escaped Tushetuhan Mongolians were added, there would be more than 30,000 cavalry. It was originally enough to deal with the incidents in the rear with 30,000 cavalry, but it was not expected that Tushetuhan suddenly left and left behind more than 10,000 cavalry of Jianlu alone. Dorgon had no time to respond, so he could only use more than 10,000 cavalry to fight the situation in the rear.

Although Dorgon had some advice and guard against it before this, the Zasaktu cavalry came too fast and there were too many people. They launched an attack without saying anything. And just as the Zasaktu cavalry attacked the middle road, while the two sides were fighting, a large group of elite Ming cavalry with hats and scales suddenly appeared on the left wing. Judging from the banner, it was Wu Sangui and Ma Ke's Guanning Iron Cavalry.

Then, another Ming cavalry appeared on the right wing, but it was Hu Dawei and Tong Hanbang.

Times have changed, unlike the past, after Emperor Longwu rectified his army and achieved continuous victory, the fear of the Ming cavalry of Jianlu cavalry almost disappeared. They were well-equipped and motivated to kill. Even the battle under their crotch seemed to be more vigorous than the war horses used by Jianlu. In the night, not only were they fired with bows, arrows, bird guns, and slashed with sabers, but they would throw out hands and thunder, rumbling, ripping, ripping out red light, blowing up enemy soldiers, and frightened war horses ran around...

Soon, more elite Ming troops arrived.

Wu Sangui, Hu Dawei, Liu Zhaoji, Ma Ke, Tong Hanbang, Liu Yaoren, Jiang Xiang, Gao Jie, Li Guo, Wang Rucheng, Wang Enguang, all the troops fought hard to attack.

Although the Eight Banners of Jianlu were good at field battles, at this moment, they faced the Ming cavalry, a familiar but unfamiliar opponent, and their original psychological advantages gradually disappeared. Except for a few brave elite white-armored soldiers, they still regarded the Ming army as grass. Most of the armored cavalry had a new understanding of the Ming cavalry that rushed toward them and felt timid.

...

"Tell Tu Lai and E Shuo that you must withstand the central army!"

"Han Dai strictly guards!"

"Order Gaha and Bahanna to circumnate from the flanks and launch a counterattack against the Ming army!"

"Strictly order Jin Li and Wu Shoujin's Han flag cavalry to retreat without any step. Those who take one step back will be killed!"

"Where is Baisgale? Why didn't his left-wing cavalry attack?"

In the dark night, there is not much command art, it is just a death-death battle.

The competition is about the organization and melee capabilities of both sides.

Dorgon stood on a high place, judging the situation of the battle based on the dense torches and the violent shouting and killing, and the continuous rewards of the Xinqi, and issued an order.

But soon, he realized that the battlefield was in chaos and was no longer something he could control and command.

---The more and more torches in the distance mean that the Ming army and Zasaktu Khan's cavalry are increasing, while the passiveness of our side is becoming more and more obvious, and there are news of breakthroughs everywhere.

"Prince~~~"

The sound of horse hooves was rapid, and Tu Lai rode his horse in blood onto the high slope, and reported to Dorgon urgently: "There are too many enemies and there are no more people everywhere. Please retreat quickly. Let me leave it to the slave here!"

---No explicit statement, but the meaning is already obvious and I can't stand it anymore. We have already been defeated. Prince, you escape first, and the slave stay here to cut off the rear.

Dorgon closed his eyes in pain, and he knew that it was not blocked after all.

"Prince, let's go, you can't hesitate any more..."

Seeing the violent shouts and killing approaching, the Ming cavalry could almost be seen with the fire, Suksaha hurriedly persuaded him.

---In order to win, Dorgon sent out all the elite white-armored soldiers around him. At this time, only a dozen cavalry were still around him. Once the Ming army brigade rushed in front of them, they would be unable to resist and could not escape.

Dorgon opened his eyes and looked at Tu Lai: "I'll leave it to you here."

"Faith loyalty for the Qing Dynasty!"

Tu Lai turned over and dismounted and bowed deeply to Dorgon.

Dorgon nodded: "Go back alive, I will wait for you in Shengjing!"

Tu Lai was moved and tears were covered in her face. She was already crying when she lay on the ground.

Dorgon pulled his horse and left.

Dorgon was not a reckless general who only made the courage of qi and blood. He always calmed down in his troops. He knew that it was useless for him to stay. If something happened to him, it would be even more difficult for the Qing general to save him, so he left without hesitation.

Suksaha and a dozen white-armored soldiers hurriedly followed.

Tu Lai jumped on his horse and rushed towards the battlefield.

...

After all, Dorgon, who was running in Mercedes, could not suppress his regret in his heart. He suddenly strangled his mount and turned around to look at the battlefield close to him, but the Qing cavalry was about to be defeated in full - shouting and killing, screaming and neighing in pain, and the Qing cavalry had already shown signs of defeat.

This is the first time since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Although there have been two failures in the pass, including the failure of Kangziling, the failure of Hejian Prefecture, the failure of Bohai Institute, the failure of North Korea, and the failure of southern Liaoning, those failures are all partial divisions, and today the main force of the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty. After this battle, the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty may no longer have the ability to fight a large-scale field with the Ming army...

Dorgon, you are incompetent.

Taizu's foundation will be destroyed by you!

Dorgon was in great pain.

"Your Majesty, let's go."

Suksaha's voice seemed to be about to cry.

Dorgon withdrew his gaze, sighed to the sky, and rode his horse away.

Daling River.

The current battle situation is irrescue. If it is defeated here, the food, supplies and central army escorted by Prince Li, Dai Shan, will probably be dangerous, but the ultimate key is still in the Daling River. If Daling River is not lost, Duoduo and others will return to the rescue, the army will still have the possibility of a safe retreat...

If the Daling River is lost, the consequences of these food, supplies, and infantry veterans can intercept the river before the water, and the consequences will be unimaginable...

"Dadadadadada~~" Dorgon struggled to ride the horse.

...

"Da da da da da da~~"

The sound of horse hooves also sounded by the Daling River.

When the vanguard led by Prince Shuosai of Jianluyu and Prince Luoluhun of Xi arrived at the Daling River, everything was still peaceful around. Don’t say that the army was not even a bird or a beast. At first glance, there was nothing else except the vast wilderness and the curved Daling River.
To be continued...
