Chapter 628
Beginning in the autumn of last year, the Qing army launched a war of invasion to the south, and the war has lasted for half a year since March of this year.

This has reached its limit for a regime whose logistics mainly depend on looting.

Not many things have been grabbed now, and it is already the season of farming. If the farming is affected, then this year will be more difficult.

At this time, the Qing army has reached a limit both southward and westward. The small imperial court in the south is relying on the natural moat of the Yangtze River. The Qing army is temporarily unable to cross the river to plunder. .

This forced the Qing Dynasty to pay attention to controlling the grain planting in the area.

In this battle, although the Qing army lost Guanzhong, they won Lianghuai.

From a strategic point of view, the Qing army has become very passive, but in terms of land quality, Lianghuai is undoubtedly better than Guanzhong.

At present, it is difficult for the Qing army to obtain supplies by plundering the Ming Dynasty and Gao Yihuan. The hundreds of thousands of Qing troops need to eat, and the Manchu Qing court can only stop the war.

Although Gao Yihuan did not sign any peace agreement or even admit that he had any peace talks with the Qing court, Daishan still decided to withdraw his troops first.

As Daishan got older, his thoughts tended to be conservative. He was not as radical as Dorgon and Duoduo, and he felt that he still had to eat every bite.

Since you can't eat it now, you should consume it first, and it won't be too late to eat when your body is strong and you have an appetite.

On the last day of March, Daishan ordered He Luohui to lead 3 horses north to Luoyang, and hand them over to Geng Zhongming for restraint. He ordered him to guard northern Henan and build a defensive line against the Wei army in Guanzhong.

Another 10 people were left for Nikan to guard Kaifeng, Guide, and Runing, monitor Nanyang, and wipe out the remnants of the Wei army.

Under this arrangement, Geng Zhongming and Nikan were like two big locks. Locking the Wei army, Daishan could lead his troops eastward to solve Xuzhou and wipe out all the enemy troops in the area controlled by the Manchu Qing.

In the evening, Daishan, accompanied by Nikan, rode his horse to the outside of Xiangcheng, where traces of the fierce battle could still be vaguely seen.

At this time, Shi Shan recalled Duoduo's words again, shook his head slightly, then turned his head to Nikan and said, "Since the beginning of Sarhu, the warriors of the Eight Banners have been invincible. He didn't fight Gao Yihuan, but the ability of Old Fifteen is still clear, the person who can beat him to death and even make him feel fear must be a powerful person."

Duoduo actually thought that if Gao Yihuan was not destroyed at this time, he would have no chance in the future, and the Qing Dynasty would be destroyed by Gao Yihuan.

He is now superficially resolute and determined, but from Daishan's point of view, Duoduo has actually lost his courage and has no courage to do it again, nor does he believe that Gao Yihuan can be wiped out after the Qing Dynasty.

Duo Duo is his little brother, and he is also the most energetic and domineering one. Daishan was shocked to be tortured like this.

Daishan rode slowly, and continued calmly, "In this battle, there were many casualties in the Qing Dynasty. As a front-line commander, you should have some insight, understand the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy, and think about countermeasures. Only in this way , You will find a way to restrain Gao Yihuan when you fight next time. This king is in the court, and I heard people say that Gao Manzi has powerful firearms, but this king thinks this is not a problem. When the old Khan raised his troops with thirteen pairs of armor, what happened afterwards? ? We not only have the elite troops of the Eight Banners, but also the firecrackers of the Ming people, and even the red barbarian cannons!"

Speaking of this, Daishan reined in his horse, glanced at the Wei army flag planted on Xiangcheng in the distance, then stared at Nikan and said: "This king said so, do you understand what it means?"

Nikan reined in the horse and replied, "My lord means that we should not lose confidence just because of this failure."

Daishan nodded in satisfaction and found that this nephew is a talent that can be cultivated, "Yes, my Qing Dynasty was able to rule the world, relying on the vigor of the Eight Banners and the belief in victory. If you believe in your own strength, then you might as well go back to the outside world as soon as possible."

Nikan was deeply touched that the conditions of the Qing Dynasty at this time were much better than when the Taizu raised the army.

At that time, the Taizu was facing a huge Ming Dynasty, but now the Qing Dynasty is only facing a small and weak court, a separatist warlord, what is there to be afraid of.

This battle was lost, but as long as the people are still there and have the belief that they must win, the Qing Dynasty will be able to make a comeback.

"My lord, I understand!" Nikan's eyes became determined.

Dai Shan nodded, then pulled out the reins of his horse and, surrounded by cavalry, returned to the camp and ordered the army to pull out of the camp.

At this point, the decisive battle between Gao Yihuan and the Qing army finally came to an end.

In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers guarding the top of the city rested against the city wall with their weapons in their arms.

After one night, everyone felt a little numb in their limbs and worked very hard.

At this time, the east was covered with fishy white, and the Wei soldiers guarding the city woke up one after another, stood up and stretched their muscles and bones.

Suddenly, a group of cavalry scouts came rushing from a distance and came directly to the city of Xiangcheng. Before they got close to the city gate, they shouted, "The Tartars have withdrawn! The Tartars have withdrawn!"

Immediately there was a commotion in the city, and the soldiers who moved their bodies rushed to the edge of the city wall.

A traveler poked his head out and hurriedly asked what was going on. After getting a reply, he immediately separated from the crowd and went to report the news.

Not long after, Gao Yihuan climbed to the top of the city surrounded by a group of generals, and one of the generals brought the messenger scout over, and the scout saluted, "Meet your majesty!"

Gao Yihuan raised his hand to let him stand up, "Did you find out that the Tartars were withdrawing?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is absolutely true that the Tartars have indeed withdrawn! The young minister led his troops to cruise out of the city as usual to monitor the movements of the Tartars. They found that the Tartar camp was unusually quiet, so they went forward to check. A few Tartar cavalry in the camp noticed We immediately pulled out our horses and headed north." The leader of the scouts replied excitedly.

Gao Yihuan and the generals around him looked at each other, with a smile on their faces, and said arrogantly: "Hmph, the Tartars have only this little ability. If they want to defeat the lonely king, they don't even look at who their opponent is!"

"Boys, who is the opponent of the Tartars, who defeated the Tartars!" Wu Shizhao next to him raised his hands and shouted without losing the opportunity.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" In an instant, countless shouts of excitement resounded from above the walls.

Gao Yihuan waited for the soldiers to cheer for a while, then he calmly raised his hand and pressed down, and said with a smile, "Don't engage in personality worship! This battle is due to the concerted efforts of our soldiers in Great Wei, and it cannot be attributed to the lonely king alone."

Having said that, Gao Yihuan looked at Wu Shizhao clearly full of approval and relief.

"Great Wei! Great Wei! Great Wei!" There was another burst of cheers from the top of the city.

At that moment, Gao Yihuan sent out scouts again to check out the city and find out the direction of the Qing army's retreat, but he didn't plan to send troops to pursue it.

The Wei army had only a few thousand cavalry, and if the Qing army's cavalry came back with their carbines, it would not be worth the loss.

The cavalry is now the biggest shortcoming of the Wei army. If this problem is not resolved, the initiative will still be in the hands of the Qing army.

They come whenever they want, leave whenever they want, cover up and kill you if they win, and run away when they lose. Wei Jun doesn't have any good restraint methods at present, basically wait for them to attack, and then consume them.

In this way, the result is that even if they win, they cannot expand the results of the battle.

Soon, before noon, the investigative scouts came back to report that the Qing army had indeed withdrawn, and Xiangcheng was no longer threatened.

So far, the duel between the Wei army and the Qing army has finally come to an end.

In this battle, the Wei army lost more than [-] troops, while the Qing army lost at least [-]. In addition, there were [-] Guanning troops who betrayed the Qing Dynasty.

In terms of territory, the Wei army occupied a vast area of ​​Guanzhong, and the Qing army occupied the Wei army's Runing Mansion, as well as several counties in Kaifeng Mansion.

In such a comparison, although the loss of the Wei army is not small, compared with the Qing army, it is undoubtedly the winner of this war.

But looking at the world, the biggest loss is not the Qing army, but the Nanjing court that lost Jiangbei~
