Chapter 249 Buy time to evacuate!

Just when Yingjing was going to bring Brother Zheng here to see the world.

Over there, Dasheng's 200 million army, under the command of Qi Jiguang and Xia Houyuan, continued to attack and occupy Liaodong.

And here Dorgon had already taken the remnant and seriously injured Wu Sangui to Shanhaiguan.

After the outflanking battle outside the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the Houjin army can be said to be such a few remnants who escaped from the narrow escape.

Now only Houjin's [-] remnants and Wu Sangui's [-] Guanning Iron Cavalry are left. Putting the two together is only [-] troops.

But the Dasheng army chasing them behind them has a total of 200 million people. If 200 million people are dispatched, crushing 10 of them to death is as easy as trampling ants to death. In front of an army of 200 million, it is like praying mantis blocking the car.

Originally, Dorgon planned to deal with the chasing Dasheng enemy forces on Ningyuan and Jinzhou to buy time for Shengjing's northward withdrawal.

But Dorgon also understands very well that the great battle outside the Daming capital has thoroughly excavated the foundation of their Dajin, and it is not only their Houjin's strength that has been defeated, but also their Jurchens who have always been fearless. a spirit.

After Hou Jin died in the battle of Huang Taiji, [-]% of his troops were completely wiped out, and their Da Jin was already a bereaved dog, and it was difficult to regain their former prestige.

Now, what Dorgon can do is to try his best to buy time for the Jurchens in Shengjing to evacuate northward as soon as possible.

But after arriving at Shanhaiguan, Dorgon looked at the countless artillery fire on the city wall of Shanhaiguan, and he planned to set up a line of defense here first, trying his best to buy time.

Shanhaiguan is the first pass of the Ming Dynasty. The terrain here is dangerous, the city wall is tall, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Such a good place, Dorgon does not intend to give up.

So after arriving at Shanhaiguan, Dorgon did not continue to flee, but organized manpower to carry out military defense here in Shanhaiguan.

Originally, according to Dorgon's idea, as long as Shanhaiguan can be used to slow down the attack speed and march of Dasheng's army.

But seeing Qi Jiguang and Xia Houyuan coming here with an army of 200 million people, Dorgon knew that he was wrong, because a Shanhaiguan could not stop Dasheng.

If thousands of cannons fired at the same time, Shanhaiguan, the first pass of the Ming Dynasty, would not be worth mentioning. In front of the powerful firepower of Dasheng, it would be nothing at all.

Dorgon's wishful thinking, which originally wanted to use Shanhaiguan Pass to delay time, was completely defeated. If he didn't want to face the full coverage of Dasheng's firepower, and died in battle like his emperor brother Huang Taiji, then There is only one way to run fast.

In the end, Dorgon could only flee quickly with the remnants, heading towards Ningyuan.

Qi Jiguang and Xia Houyuan took Shanhaiguan back without bloodshed, but they didn't stay behind at all, and continued to lead the army to chase Dorgon.

Dorgon's men and horses retreated to Ningyuan side by side.

But this time, Dorgon still didn't dare to stay here.

Although Ningyuan's defense line is also very strong, it is incomparable with Shanhaiguan. Even Shanhaiguan can't stop Dasheng's army. What is Ningyuan in the eyes of Dasheng's army?
Dorgon can only take advantage of the familiar terrain. If he wants to harass the logistics supply line of Dasheng's pursuers, he wants to stop Dasheng's marching speed.

But there is a big gap between ideal and reality in many cases, and Dorgon's idea is not wrong, but he never thought that Dasheng's army would be transported by sea.

Moreover, there are more than [-] people guarding the supply line every time the supply is transported. These [-] soldiers are also armed to the teeth, and they don't give others a chance at all.

So Dorgon couldn't even find Dasheng's logistics supply line.

But the army of Qi Jiguang and Xia Houyuan was pursuing them, but they were not in a hurry, they were not in a hurry, they almost had to be cautious at every step and advance in a carpet-like way.

This also made Dorgon and the others unable to find any chance to fight back along the way.

Soon, Dasheng's army arrived at Ningyuan City.

Dorgon also knew that in Ningyuan City, he would never have any chance, so he even gave up on Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and went back to Shengjing.

Now that it has reached this point, Dorgon also understands very well that let alone Ningyuan and Jinzhou, even if it is Shengjing now, it may be difficult to stop the pace of Dasheng's army.

Instead of wasting time there and paying unnecessary casualties, it is better to return to Shengjing and escort the Jurchens to escape.

If Dasheng's army really came, he could still bring the last remnants and Dasheng's army to fight the final battle, buying time for the fleeing Jurchens.

Without the intrusion of the remnants of Dorgon, and Dorgon did not cause them any trouble along the way, Qi Jiguang and Xia Houyuan's army took Ningyuan and Jinzhou without bloodshed.

But now, under the organization of three women, Dayuer, Hailanzhu, and Zhezhe, the Jurchen tribe in Shengjing has started a large-scale migration.

Now the news of Huang Taiji's death in the Great Ming capital has been known to all the Jurchen clan.

The news that [-]% of the disciples of the Eight Banners had died in battle shocked all the clansmen.

In the current Shengjing, except for the [-] Zhenghuangqi guards, under the leadership of Prince Zheng Jierhalang to guard Shengjing, Shengjing no longer has any strength.

After discussing with Jierhalang, Dayuer, Hailanzhu, and Zhezhe immediately started a large-scale migration.

The Jurchen people in Shengjing were reluctant to leave, but now that Shengjing was in danger, they could only follow the orders of Dayuer and others to leave with their families.

So the hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children of Shengjing Jurchen began to tidy up their valuables at home, and under the protection of the remaining [-] Zhenghuangqi disciples, they set foot on the road to retreat northward.

After all the Jurchen people in Shengjing had evacuated and left, the usually bustling Shengjing City suddenly became a deserted, quiet and scary empty city.

Two days later, when Dorgon returned to Shengjing with the remnants of his troops, he saw that Shengjing had become an empty city, without a single clansman left.

Dorgon didn't feel sad or sad in his heart, but some were relieved.

But Dorgon didn't catch up immediately, but took the remnants and began to clear the traces of the Jurchens' car pictures along the road little by little. Going in the wrong direction.

After all the arrangements were made, Dorgon took the remnants and headed west.

The purpose of Dorgon heading west is to attract the attention of Dasheng's reinforcements to them, so as to ensure the safety of the tribe.
