Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 345
Kong Youde, who was in the battle between Weihui and Huang Degong in Henan Province, also received the news of Luoyang's defeat at this time. But the battle of Luoyang was such a result that he could never have imagined.

Who are Prince Azig of England and Prince Yu Duoduo?Dissertation martial arts, second only to Regent Dorgon!Shang Kexi, king of Zhishun, and Geng Zhongming, king of Huaishun, what kind of prestige are these?Galloping in Liaodong, invincible, Mongolia, North Korea, bandits, and Ming army, wherever the soldiers came, the gods abdicated, who can be their opponent?

But now 10,000+ elites of the Eight Banners, the four princes, and dozens of red-clothed heavy artillery, just like that, the whole army was wiped out?It's only been a few days, and the false emperor Zhu Yousong only has 4 or [-] horses, which is incredible!
It was the first time that Kong Youde felt the fear of Zhu Yousong's three words. He was astonished and immediately prepared to retreat, because now a very dangerous situation was in front of him. The defeat of Luoyang made them also fall into a dead end. Lu Dajun's attack on Ming was a complete failure. They were already surrounded by the Ming army. In front were Huang Degong and Chen Qianfu's troops, and behind them was the army led by Zhu Yousong himself. They were attacked on both sides. They had to withdraw from Henan immediately, otherwise the whole army would be wiped out. It is also their fate.

At this moment, the Zhengzhou Qing Army sent Man Dahai a seal letter telling him to go to Zheng to discuss the military situation, Kong Youde cursed inwardly, idiot, what is there to discuss, retreat immediately, otherwise there will only be a dead end!
But even if he is the king of obedience, he can only slander him at this time. In front of Man Dahai, he has to be respectful. Don't look at him as Baylor, he is the prince, but he is the grandson of Nurhachi. His prince is just a different kind, let alone him, there are quite a few horse princes, what Sanshun Wang Sanmin is, but in terms of status, apart from Prince Yu Duoduo, Man Dahai is the only one.

So Kong Youde didn't dare to be negligent, and asked his confidant generals Dong Ying and He Jinsheng to take charge of his troops in Weihui temporarily, and he rushed to Zhengzhou with Yiqi's personal soldiers on flying horses.

The situation in Xuchang is roughly the same. There are [-] Qing troops here, and the news that the entire Luoyang army has been annihilated is still in constant panic. After receiving the general order from Man Dahai, Zhuo Luo ordered the deputy general Lan Bai to lead the troops to guard Xuchang. He personally brought a Niu Lu The light flag flew towards Zhengzhou.

At this time, the general of the Qing army outside Kaifeng was named Shi Tingzhu. The deputy chief soldier was in charge, and he brought a personal guard flying horse to Mandahai.

Fortunately, Weihui, Kaifeng, and Xuchang are not far from Zhengzhou. In the Ming Dynasty, Kaifeng was the prefecture, and Weihui, Zhengzhou, and Xuchang were all subordinate prefectures and counties. Therefore, soon, the heads of the more than 4 Qing troops were All were gathered in the camp of Mandahai in Zhengzhou.

Kong Youde couldn't wait to put forward his opinion, and said sadly: "Master Baylor, the situation has taken a turn for the worse, it's too bad for us, we never expected to be defeated so badly, in Xiao Wang's opinion, retreat quickly to try to make a comeback, if it's too late, it's too late. "

Shi Tingzhu, Tong Yangjia, Zhuo Luo, Gushan Ezhen'ashan and others also followed suit and agreed with King Gongshun's withdrawal plan.

Man Dahai strengthened his spirits and said: "What King Gongsun said is also Ben Baylor's intention, but how to retreat, where to retreat, and where to retreat, still need to be discussed, this is also the purpose of Ben Baylor to guide you here. "

As if the end was approaching, these generals of the Qing army talked a lot, and finally they felt that there were only two ways to retreat, one was to retreat from Luoyang to Shanzhou, and the other was to retreat northward from Huaiqing to Jindi, but they all knew that Zhu You Song is stationed in Luoyang, and he must station heavy troops, so this road is tantamount to being cut off.

In addition, Huaiqing is very close to Luoyang, less than [-] miles away, and there are only [-] Qing troops stationed there. If Zhu Yousong sends a team to attack, Huaiqing has no danger to defend, and it is an isolated city. I am afraid it will not last for a few days. , must act immediately, now only Huaiqing is the only way to go.

Man Dahai immediately dispatched the generals of the military department, and the retreat had to be arranged for the end of the matter. If these groups of people fled and retreated in a swarm, the troops of Huang Degong and Chen Qianfu would surely chase after them, so Man Dahai handed over the matter of the end to Kong Youde and Shi Tingzhu. He and Tong Yangjia immediately retreated to Huaiqing with more than 3 main forces from Zhengzhou, Weihui and Xuchang.

After Kong Youde returned to Weihui, he issued an order to retreat overnight, and asked his general He Jinsheng to lead 6000 troops to defend Weihui, and Shi Tingzhu's [-] troops also retreated to the Bianhe area. He led his troops away from Weihui to Huaiqing.

Three days later, the Weihui, Zhengzhou, and Xuchang Qing armies joined forces in Wuzhi, which is now Wuzhi County, Henan Province. In the Ming Dynasty, Wuzhi was a town in Huaiqing, and it was also under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Just at this time, a soldier came to report that Huaiqing had fallen into the hands of the Ming army, and the deputy commander Da Mosu ran back with three or four hundred defeated soldiers.

The only escape route was cut off again, this time they really became the turtles in the urn, the dogs in the door, all the doors of life were closed, leaving only a dead end.

Man Dahai was so angry that he burst into anger and shouted an order. The time was short, and Damosu was tied up with ropes and pushed out of the tent.

Da Mosu is a royal official in Mongolia. In terms of blood, this person is not simple. His ancestor is Genghis Khan, but he is not as famous as Genghis Khan and Temujin. Now he is enslaved by the Manchu Tartars.

This time he and Duoduo went out to attack Daming, and took five thousand Mongolian Eight Banners to garrison Huaiqing. As soon as he got the news of Luoyang's defeat, Daming's army marched to the city. Ma Bao and Zu Keyong made a swindle As a plan, Ma Bao personally led a small group of Ming troops pretending to be the remnants of the Luoyang battlefield, and opened the city gate in a swindle. In a bloody battle, Da Mosu was killed and defeated. Treasure an arrow.

Fortunately, he was wearing double cowhide armor, the arrow did not kill him, but the defeat was already settled, so he had to flee the city with the defeated general.

Defeated for more than [-] miles in one breath, to see if there were no pursuers behind, Da Mosu ordered the troops to stop, and a military doctor opened his arrows, applied medicine, bandaged his wounds, counted the number of people, and now there are no more than ten of the five thousand Mongolian cavalry .

He wanted to run for his life, knowing that he would not survive if he met the Tartars, but now that there was no escape route, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and bring the remnants to meet Man Dahai.

Man Dahai asked Mingda Mosu about his failure, he was furious, slapped and kicked, and then ordered to be beheaded.

Stopped by Tong Yangjia, "Lord Baylor, wait a minute. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military strategists. General Damosu's carelessness is understandable. Please see Lord Baylor for the sake of the general's loyalty and hard work even if he has no credit. Wouldn't it be better to let him take the crime and make meritorious deeds?"

As he said that, he gave Man Dahai a wink. Man Dahai was not a fool and immediately understood Tong Yangjia's meaning. Now that they are in a desperate situation and the morale of the army is unstable, if they kill the general again, if there is a mutiny, the consequences will be disastrous.And they don't want to sit still, they have to recapture Huaiqing, and kill a bloody road from here, Da Mosu is a fierce general, it would be a pity to just kill him like this!
Therefore, Man Dahai sent an order to release Damosu, and recorded fifty military sticks, and this account will be calculated later, and Damosu thanked him for his kindness.

It is only a hundred miles away from Huaiqing, which is not a long distance for the Qing army's Eight Banners. Man Dahai decided to retake Huaiqing tonight. If he can't win, he has to fight the Ming army to the end.

Just at this time, some soldiers came to report that the false emperor Zhu Yousong was disintegrating their military morale and shooting arrows at their camps and defense areas.

Man Dahai was furious, "Give Ben Baylor an order to destroy all these arrow letters. Those who disobey the order will be killed without mercy, and all the Han dogs in this area will be slaughtered. Tonight, Ben Baylor will fight to the death with the puppet emperor." .”

"Wait a minute, Lord Baylor." Tong Yangjia rolled his eyes and thought about it.
