Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 356 Chapter 356, Dorgon attacked in a decisive battle, Zhu Cihong fled a hundred miles away
One night just passed by.

For the Manchu and Qing soldiers under Dorgon, after many days of traveling, they obviously wanted to have a few days of good rest, but Dorgon did not think so.

"Zhu Cihong is right in front of us, and he is not a fool. If he finds out that we are too powerful and runs away, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?"

Under Dorgon's strict order, the [-] Manchu-Tatar coalition forces gathered early in the morning and moved towards the Ming army camp not far away with mighty momentum.

One hundred thousand troops were overwhelming, the sky was filled with smoke and dust, and the earth was shaking. The scene was extremely spectacular.

This scene was clearly seen by Zhu Cihong.

Although the prairie is vast, there are also hills in it. You only need to stand on the top of the hills, and you can see the whereabouts of the enemy troops tens of miles away at a glance.

Zhu Cihong pointed to the distance, and said to Li Dingguo: "See? Dorgon is really full of confidence this time, he can't even wait for the moment when the soldiers under his command are completely rested."

Li Dingguo said: "Everything in Dorgon's mind has been clearly calculated by His Highness. Jianu will definitely be defeated this time!"

Zhu Cihong laughed, shook his head and said: "Defeat is definitely not counted, but I think it is enough to teach him a lesson. Alright, let's retreat."

After saying this, Zhu Cihong rode away with Li Dingguo and a group of guards without looking back.

Dorgon was excited.

"Maybe I can kill Zhu Cixiang today!"

Over the past few years, Zhu Cihong has conquered the east and west, pacified Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the thieves who flirted with the Manchu Qing, and recovered Shanxi from the Manchu Qing. .

These actions can be said that every knife stabbed Man Qing's body firmly, making Man Qing feel like he was bleeding.

As the auxiliary king of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Dorgon now feels as if there is a large invisible net under the control of Zhu Cixiang, falling towards Shengjing from all directions.

If Man Qing didn't do anything, he might really be trapped to death by this big net.

Dorgon's idea is very simple and direct. As long as he can kill Zhu Cixiang, the hunter holding a big net, the whole net will naturally collapse!
Today, the dream is in sight!
But the next moment, an accident happened.

A scout from Horqin rushed over and reported to Badali: "Khan, the Ming army has escaped!"

Badali was taken aback when he heard the words, and then immediately beamed with joy: "What, the Ming army escaped?"

Dorgon could understand Mongolian, and he was shocked when he heard the words, he couldn't believe it: "What, the Ming army ran away?!"

Badali looked at Dorgon with some confusion: "Prince Rui, why don't you seem unhappy?"

Dorgon is more than unhappy, at this moment Dorgon's face is completely livid!

Dorgon took a deep breath and looked at Badali in front of him: "Brother Badali, the Ming army retreated without a fight. Do you know what this means?"

Badalley was a little puzzled, and said uncertainly, "This means the war is over, right?"

Dorgon sneered and said, "It's over? Think about it carefully, what is the goal of the Ming army this time? It is to destroy and conquer the entire Tatar Mongolia! Now that your Horqin tribe is still here, how could the Ming army Will it end the war?”

Badali was stunned, and then quickly came to his senses: "So... these Ming troops still want to continue fighting? Then why did they retreat?"

Dorgon said coldly: "It's not that we still want to continue fighting, but we will definitely continue to fight! It's just that the cunning Ming prince knew that his troops were no match for us, so he chose to retreat temporarily! "

Badali was speechless, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled at Dorgon: "Prince Rui, don't worry, it doesn't matter even if the Ming army wants to continue fighting, this is the prairie, we are Mongolia The territory of the people. The Ming army is just a group of outsiders, how can they get anything cheap in our Mongolian territory?"

At this moment, Dorgon already had the urge to roll his eyes.

Yes, the Ming army was indeed an outsider, but don’t forget that the Ming army conquered Abu Nai’s Chahar tribe!

The Horqin Tribe is aboriginal from the Monan Grassland, so isn’t the Chahar Tribe?
With the help of the Chahar tribe, the Ming army also came and went freely in the Monan grassland, no worse than the Horqin tribe.

Dorgon barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Badali: "My troops in the Qing Dynasty are mainly infantry, how do you think we can catch up with the four legs of the Ming army? Is the entire cavalry enough to wipe out the Ming army alone?"

Badali was also speechless at the moment when he was asked.

If the Horqin tribe alone could defeat the Ming army, why did Badaly wait for Dorgon to come?

The two stared at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

Badali's Adam's apple rolled, and he said, "Then what should we do now?"

Dorgon hesitated.

Now there are nothing more than two choices, one is to pursue, the other is not to pursue.

Let's chase, the main force of the Qing army is infantry, and it is simply impossible to track the Ming army composed of pure cavalry.

Don't chase after him, why are you just watching Zhu Cihong flee like this?

Dorgon took a few deep breaths, and finally made up his mind: "Let the soldiers stop first, and camp for a few days to rest!"

Dorgon actually thought it over at this time, he would definitely not be able to catch up, so it's better not to waste all his efforts.

Hearing this, Badali was obviously a little disappointed: "Could it be that Zhu Cihong is allowed to be so arrogant?"

For Badali, as long as he can drive away Zhu Cixiang, he has the final say in the Monan Grassland. Of course, he hopes to drive Zhu Cixiang away as quickly as possible.

Dorgon snorted, and said: "Although Zhu Cihong can escape, he lacks supplies and cannot stay on the grassland for too long. At that time, he will either choose to return to the Central Plains, or he can only take the initiative to find some tribes." Looting supplies."

"You immediately have all the tribes in Monan gather together to ensure that Zhu Cixiang cannot snatch any supplies. When he is exhausted, even though this grassland is so vast, there will be no hiding place for him!"

Hearing the words, Badali immediately became elated, and said happily: "Prince Rui is wise and courageous, I'll do it now, and I must trap and starve Zhu Cihong to death in this grassland!"

Badali hurriedly sent someone to pass the order, while Dorgon stood on the chariot, watching the direction where the Ming army left in the distance, and sneered after a long time.

"A battle of wits? I've eaten more salt than you've ever eaten rice. You're a young guy, how can you fight with me!"

At this moment, Dorgon was full of confidence and felt that victory seemed to be waving ahead.
