There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

South of Datong City, Xiami Village.

This is a small village less than thirty miles away from Datong, where dozens of households usually live.

At this time, the people had already fled to the nearby mountains after receiving the message from Zhenming Army Tingfeng Wei.

After Dorgon felt that he was surrounded by the Zhenming Army in Shawobao, he made a decisive decision and led the Qing army to go north immediately, preparing to join Hong Chengchou in Datong.

After running to Xiami Village in one breath, Dorgon stopped and began to gather his troops.

The 15,000-eighth banner army he led himself was a little better, with more than 10,000 coming out, so the main force was still there.

It is gratifying that only less than 5,000 of the more than 10,000 Tianzhu troops came out, and all the artillery they carried were discarded.

He was so angry that he didn't care about King Shang Kexi Zhishun's face, and gave him a few whips in public.

They came to Xiami Village to rob and kill to vent their anger, but found that all the people in the village had fled, so they could only set fire to the village in anger.

After the village was set on fire, Dorgon discovered that the houses were burned down and they had no place to live.

We could only send people to put out the fire and move into a few houses that were still smoking.

"Commander, Hong Chengchou of the Ming Dynasty has led his troops to evacuate from Datong, but they did not notify us." The sentry horse came in to report.

"What, these bastards of the Ming army, none of the Han people in the world can be trusted." After saying that, he looked at Shang Kexi with a bad look.

Shang Kexi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stepped forward and said, "Commander, these Ming people are indeed unreliable. We have already joined the banner, and we are no longer Han people."

Although Dorgon was angry, the manpower available now could not push Shang Kexi into a hurry.

"I didn't say anything about you. The Han army flag is also part of my banner, so of course I can't be counted as a member of the Ming Dynasty." Dorgon comforted him.

He looked at the sparse generals in the room and couldn't help but feel a pain in his body.

This time he entered the Pass to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty in encircling and suppressing the Zhenming Army. He brought a total of 50,000 horses.

In the Battle of Weizhou, the 10,000-strong army led by Duduo was almost completely wiped out, with only a thousand cavalry left.

The attack on Hunyuan Prefecture cost nearly 3,000 people, otherwise he would not have ordered the massacre to vent his anger.

The battle at Sand Snail Castle resulted in heavy losses.

At present, it seems that Kong Youde's Tianyou Army is also finished. Of the 30,000 Han military flags, only about 5,000 people are left, and it is estimated that not many of the Tianyou Army can escape.

Of the 20,000 elite soldiers who filled the Eight Banners, only a little over 10,000 remained.

Two-thirds of the 50,000-strong army had been lost. Even if they could return to Liaodong, they would probably be severely punished by Huang Taiji.

But Dorgon doesn't have time to think about being punished yet.

Hong Chengchou of Datong City ran away, and only fifteen or six thousand of his people were left in Datong Mansion.

What Dorgon has to consider now is how to escape and how to supply supplies.

"Commander, the situation is very critical now. We can no longer hesitate. We should immediately decide where to leave the customs and return to Liaodong." Although Shang Kexi was whipped several times, as a big traitor, he had no way to turn back and could only offer advice.

"Shang Kexi, which way do you think is appropriate for exiting the border?" Dorgon asked.

"Currently there are two main ways to get out of the customs. One is to leave immediately from the Datong border and detour through the grassland back to Liaodong. But we don't carry much food and grass, and it is difficult to supply supplies along this way.

The other way is to quickly go east, hit Xuanfu, plunder some towns of the Ming Dynasty, replenish food and grass, and then exit from Xuanfu.

But whichever way you go, you may encounter an interception from the Zhenming Army. Hong Chengchou and others withdrew their troops without saying a word, so they must have encountered trouble.

At present, the Zhenming Army in the south of Datong City is still behind us. The west and north are safe. The most likely reason is that reinforcements from the Zhenming Army have appeared in the east. "Shang Kexi continued his analysis.

"Then let's go out from the Datong border. Let's deal with the food and grass issue in the grassland. It's still okay to plunder some Mongolian tribes." Dorgon was now afraid of encountering the Zhenming Army again, so he immediately decided.

"The commander is wise!" Shang Kexi was even more afraid of encountering the Zhenming Army. He just wanted to escape back to Liaodong immediately. Sand Snail Castle.

After Lin Feng led the Guards Division to defeat Kong Youde's troops, they joined forces with Yang Heng's 1st Mobile Division and the 2nd Henan Combat Division led by Deng Hao.

"Your Majesty, Dorgon is very cunning. He ran away as soon as he heard the news that Shang Kexi's troops in the north were surrounded and annihilated by our army.

They left a group of troops to cut off the rear, and there were also a large number of defeated troops from Shang Kexi's tribe to stop us. We could only clean up the battlefield first, but after wasting some time, Dorgon ran out. "Yang Heng reported angrily.

"Dorgon is a very clever general among the Tatars. It is normal for him to run out quickly when he sees an opportunity. We still gained a lot from this battle. Let's talk about the results first." Lin Feng did not scold Yang Heng. The battlefield situation was changing rapidly. The enemy is not a fool, and it is certainly impossible for him to get everything he wants.

"Your Majesty, our First Mobile Division fought with the main force of the Tatars for more than an hour, killing more than 3,000 Tatars, and later killed thousands of the defeated troops who captured the Han flag." Yang Henghui reported.

"Where are our own casualties?" Lin Feng asked.

"We also suffered more than 3,000 casualties, which is basically a one-to-one ratio with the main Tatar force, but most of our 1,780 wounded soldiers should be able to recover." Yang Heng replied.

"Your Majesty, our Second Henan Combat Division defeated Shang Kexi's troops very smoothly. However, these traitor troops collapsed at the first touch, which resulted in not many casualties. A lot of time was wasted in capturing prisoners, and it also affected Commander Yang and others' pursuit of Dorgon. We suffered less than one casualty of our own. Thousands of people." Deng Haohui reported.

Li Xin came in at this time and reported: "Your Majesty, the battlefield has basically been cleared. Our army killed more than 3,400 Tatars and left no prisoners.

More than 4,000 Han soldiers were killed and injured, and more than 12,000 people were captured. In addition, a large number of artillery and other equipment they carried were confiscated. "

After hearing this, Lin Feng made a calculation in his mind. In the battle of Shawo Castle, he killed and took prisoners, annihilating nearly 20,000 Qing troops in total.

In addition, outside Weizhou City, Yang Heng led the Zhenming Army to annihilate 9,000 of their people, and the Tatars attacked Hunyuan Prefecture and lost another 3,000 people.

The 50,000 Tatars who entered the customs this time have lost more than 32,000. Adding the losses from the battlefield, Dorgon only had 15,000 at most.

However, the Zhenming Army's own casualties were not small. The 1st Mobile Division and the 2nd Henan Combat Division also suffered losses of more than 11,000 people.

At present, the troops are exhausted and the camp is full of wounded soldiers. It is difficult to continue large-scale operations.

"Where has Dorgon gone now?" Lin Feng asked next.

"According to the latest information, Dorgon has arrived at Xiami Village, thirty miles south of Datong City, which is about eighty miles away from us." Ma Ang stood up and replied.

"Have the people of Xiami Village been evacuated?"

"We have already been notified. The people have experience in avoiding military disasters in the past few years, so they should be able to evacuate."

"The 1st Mobile Division and the 2nd Henan Combat Division are relatively tired. Luo Kai, please lead our Guards Division with 5,000 troops and continue to pursue Dorgon's tribe, but you must proceed with caution. The main purpose is to force them to not be able to resupply calmly. You must not be They counterattacked," Lin Feng ordered.

"Understood!" Luo Kai came out to take the order.

"Sir, let us move the first division to pursue. Our brothers all want to fight Dorgon desperately." Yang Heng asked for orders.

"Almost half of the 1st Mobile Division was lost. It is necessary to organize rest and reconstruction immediately. Don't destroy all the backbones. A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. This time Dorgon lost most of his troops. Even if he returns to the Qing Dynasty, "It's enough for him." Lin Feng refused.

After resting for less than a day in Xiami Village, Dorgon heard the news from the sentry horse, and the Zhenming Army pursued him.

He immediately led his troops and continued to flee north.

Luo Kai and Li Dingguo led five thousand officers and soldiers of the Guards Division forward lightly and followed them leisurely.

As long as Dorgon sent a small group of cavalry to collect food and supplies, most of them were eaten by the personal guard division.

Later, they did not dare to send troops to collect grain, and fled all the way to the Datong border in disgrace. When they ran out of grain and grass, they killed horses and dug wild vegetables, and finally got out of Datong.

After counting the number of people, only twelve thousand people were left. The others were either killed in the pursuit or escaped secretly.

Especially after the 6,000 Han military flags were collected all the way, only more than 2,000 people were left. He was so angry that he could only give Shang Kexi a few whips to vent his anger.
