Jiannu had never suffered such a crushing defeat, whether in Liaodong or after entering the pass.

You know, during the Battle of Sarhu, their total population was less than 500,000, and the total number of elite Eight Banners was less than 50,000. Although more than 20 years have passed, their total population is less than one million, and the elite Eight Banners was less than 100,000.

What does this mean by losing more than 5,000 elite Eight Banners at a time?

It doesn’t take too much. If you only have to do such an ambush more than ten times, the Eight Banners elite will almost be fucked!

Without the suppression of the Eight Banners elites, how could they control the Manchu Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners that they had surrendered?

Therefore, in war, they basically drove the vassals of the Han Eight Banners and the Manchu Eight Banners to take the lead. Only when they reached the critical moment of decisive victory or had an absolute advantage would the elite of the Eight Banners rush forward to resolve the battle in one fell swoop.

This does not mean that they are afraid of death, mainly because they cannot afford to die.

If they had fought fiercely regardless of the casualties, only tens of thousands of elite Eight Banners might have been killed long ago, and they would have been finished now.

Their defeat this time was so miserable. Ajige never expected that Li Zicheng would dare to launch a sneak attack and ambush them.

When he received the news, he frowned and pondered for nearly half an hour before he gave a decisive order: "Send an order to order everyone to clean up the tent and prepare to retreat."

He really didn't dare to continue fighting this battle, because since he entered Yulin, he felt something was wrong.

Gao Yigong, who was beaten to the point of being beaten by them, stopped running away. Not only did these two guys stop running away, but they also fought against them one by one city and one fortress.

This is obviously abnormal.

If it is normal, they should have taken Yulin Town and Yansui Town to march into Xi'an at this time.

It is obvious that Li Zicheng was given guidance from experts, otherwise the Dashun Army, who had been running all the way from the capital, would not have suddenly become brave enough to dare to ambush them and attack them.

Once this precedent was opened, it was amazing. If someone could sneak attack their teams transporting artillery, they could sneak attack their teams transporting food and grass.

If the food route is cut off, more than 100,000 troops will likely collapse without fighting!

If they do too much of this kind of thing, they will naturally know how serious the consequences are.

So, he decided to retreat and retreat to Shanxi first.

Gao Yigong, Hotan Mixiu, saw that Jiannu had packed up his camp and began to retreat, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

They were really scared by Jiannu. If Li Zicheng had not given the death order and strictly prohibited them from retreating, they would have probably gone to Xi'an now.

Originally, they were so panicked that if Jiannu’s Red Barbarian cannons were transported over, how could they resist?

Unexpectedly, Jiannu actually withdrew!

They really don't know what's going on.

Because Li Zicheng didn't tell them anything about sneak attacks or ambushing.

After all, this time Li Zicheng made a desperate bet and pushed all the elite cavalry and infantry up. Once the news leaked, the Dashun Dynasty would be over.

Therefore, except for Li Guo and Liu Zongmin, who led the troops, he did not disclose any information to other generals.

Jiannu's spies were all over the world. He could see this from the defeats in Shanxi and Henan. He didn't want to rush to ambush and sneak attacks, but in the end he made Jiannu slapped him with a backhand.

Now, the plan of ambush and sneak attack was finally successful, and it was unprecedentedly successful, with brilliant results.

However, they missed the opportunity to expand the results of the war.

At this time, if Li Guo and Liu Zongmin could have another ambush on the road, Gao Yigong and Hotan Seixiu led more than 100,000 troops from Yulin City to rush forward and attack, even if Jiannu was powerful, he would probably not be able to withstand it. The northern army led by Ajige would be completely wiped out.

Unfortunately, the ambush and sneak attack tactics were not thought of by Li Zicheng himself, but taught by the Crazy King Zhu Qizhu. His understanding of this tactics was limited to sneak attacking the team that transported the Red Barbarian cannons or sneak attacking the team that transported food and grass. As for the front and back attacks and encirclement and annihilation of the Jiannu North Army, he had never thought about it.

The army on the North Jiannu Road ran away like this. Ajige led the remaining Manchu Eight Banners cavalry and Han Eight Banners infantry to move forward all the way, and retreated back to Baodezhou in three days.

Li Zicheng couldn't help but be ecstatic when he received the news.

Now that Jiannu was finally defeated, Dashun Dynasty was finally saved, and he could be free and free again.

Zhu Qizhua received the news but was so angry that he wanted to rush to Xi'an to slap Li Zicheng.

You are a pig!

You have taken away all the red cannons of Jiannu, and the biggest advantage is gone, but you have the advantage of the territory and people. With your familiarity with Yulin Town, it is not simply the same as if you want to sneak attack on the Jiannu North Army.

You have assembled nearly 300,000 troops in Yulin Town, but you didn’t know how to continue to ambush and attack?

There are only a hundred thousand people in total!

Alas, you missed such a great opportunity in vain. You are such a pig!

Of course, Li Zicheng didn't know that Zhu Qizhu wanted to give him a big shot.

Ajige didn't know that he had saved his life. After he withdrew from Paudezhou, he immediately wrote a secret letter, described the battle in Yulin Town in detail, and sent people 800 miles to send all the way to the capital.

He was not worried about the punishment for this crushing defeat, because the court was in charge of the country at this time, his younger brother, the Regent Dorgon.

As for the current little emperor Fulin, he was just a puppet and didn't dare to do anything to the three brothers.

He and Dorgon and Dodona are real brothers, the same kind of father and mother, and are closer than other brothers. Moreover, at this moment, the three brothers almost control all the people of the Manchu Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners. Who dares to do what they do?

When Dorgon received a secret letter from Ajige, he did not think about how to deal with Ajige.

Five Thousand Essence Cavalry and hundreds of Wuzhen Chaos, the loss is indeed heavy, but no matter how heavy the loss is, it is nothing!

Even if the northern army was wiped out and Ajige escaped alone, he would not do anything to Ajige.

That was his biological brother. The three brothers depended on each other and supported each other, which made the eighth Huang Taiji die. How could he break his arm and deal with his brothers until now?

He wouldn't think about this at all.

What he was thinking about was what to do next.

Originally, he wanted to defeat Li Zicheng in one fell swoop, destroy the Dashun Dynasty, seize Shanxi, Henan and Shaanxi, and then deal with the so-called Hongguang Dynasty and Yongsheng Dynasty.

Now it seems that this plan is probably not working.

Because Ajige not only failed to break through the northern road, he occupied Yulin Town and Yansui Town in one fell swoop and rushed to Xi'an. Li Zicheng also snatched a piece of fire and took away fifty red cannons.

Of course he knew the power of the red-clothed cannon. If he used these fifty red-clothed cannons to defend the city, he might not have been able to gain an advantage after transferring a hundred red-clothed cannons.

After all, they were sieges and had nothing to resist the shells of red cannons. They were protected by the city walls, and they would suffer a great loss when they blasted.

In other words, if he wanted to continue to attack Dashunchao, he would have to transfer at least more than 100 red-clothed cannons. Moreover, even if he had transferred more than 100 red-clothed cannons, he would inevitably suffer heavy casualties when siegeing the city.

This is obviously not worth the loss. With this skill, it is better to deal with the Hongguang Dynasty or the Yongsheng Dynasty first.

After all, Li Zicheng is a bandit, and he doesn't have to do anything for childbirth, and sooner or later he will be in vain. It may take a few years for him to finish playing with himself.

The Hongguang Dynasty and the Yongsheng Dynasty are different. Both of them claim to have inherited the orthodox of the Ming Dynasty and occupy a rich and rich place with abundant resources. If they don’t hurry up and let them rest, it will probably be difficult to clean up in the future.

The question is, should I deal with the Hongguang Dynasty first or Yongsheng Dynasty first?
