Chapter 343 The Qing army retreats!

"Master General, our model army seized more than 230 heads of the Tartars in this battle, including 84 real slaves, 56 armored men, and Mongolians... Our army suffered less than 100 casualties..."

"In addition, our army seized more than 2,100 bags of large grain and rice, more than 1,600 kilograms of cured meat, more than 480 horse corpses, and more than 700 cattle, sheep and livestock..."

"Master, these supplies are enough for our army to last for more than ten days..."

As noon approached, on the model army command platform, Xu Changqing looked at the Qing army camp while listening to the excited reports of several governors.

In the battle last night, Xu Changqing's core goal was not to kill the enemy, but to concoct chaos, snatch supplies, and show his muscles. Just like the Qing army showed the strength of the model army, the soldiers obviously did a good job.

At this time, the Qing army clearly felt the pressure. The Enangbai Banner Camp was basically abandoned, and many small camps around began to be cleaned up and gathered towards the Central Army Camp of Zhengbai Banner.

The south and east sides are basically the same, while the Enanglan Banner Camp on the west side is busy digging more trenches and fortifications.

"Thank you all! At noon today, let the fire soldiers get more horse meat and let the soldiers eat and drink enough!"

"Thank you, Marshal!"

The caretakers left excitedly, and Xu Changqing let out a long breath of turbid air, a smile appeared in his eyes.

Dorgon should have figured it out at this time. It is impossible to siege the Model Army and defeat the troops without fighting!

If you have this energy, it’s better to do something more practical!

However, Dorgon also had a good memory. At this time, many Han slaves were working hard behind a high earth wall in the Zhengbai Banner camp. Although Xu Changqing could not see clearly what they were doing at this angle, he could also guess that he must be digging deeper trenches to prevent the model army from using the same trick again.

But summer, autumn and winter have already taken people to explore. There is no corridor near the Zhengbai Banner Camp, and at most there are only some thieves. With Dorgon's shrewdness, he should have very clear about what the consequences would be if his people entered the thieves!

Now, I’m waiting for Hong Chengchou and the main force of the Ming army!

...

As expected, after noon, three skeletons of spirits rushed over from the main force.

Judging from the banner, not only Wu Sangui's Zu Dale's people came, but more than a thousand people from Hong Chengchou's central army also came.

The Qing army battalions maintained considerable restraint on this, and did not even move forward, but instead made a defensive attitude.

The three Ming troops cruised here for nearly half an hour. After discovering that the Qing army did not take the initiative, they did not resign and quickly left, causing smoke and dust to roll.

In the model army battle formation, Wu Sanmei also woke up at this time. She happened to see the back of the Ming army of Wu Sangui and the three troops leaving. She couldn't help but say excitedly: "Brother, has the main force moved?"

Xu Changqing smiled and rubbed her little head, obviously not telling her the cruel truth: "I saw your second brother's people just now, and I think the main force will come to save us in a few days."

"Wow, it's great, it's great!"

Wu Sanmei jumped up happily and rushed into Xu Changqing's arms.

Sniffing the familiar fragrance of Wu Sanmei, Xu Changqing's eyes gradually became cold. This battle is probably not going to be fought!

...

In a flash, more than ten days passed, and time had arrived in mid-March of the 16th year of Chongzhen.

During the past ten days, the Qing army has maintained considerable restraint, and has not taken the initiative to attack the Model Army, nor has it intention to go to Pinggu to find Hong Chengchou and the main force of the Ming army.

Hong Chengchou and the main force of the Ming army, including the Jingqi of Wang Pu's army, would come here almost every day, placing flag words on the model army in a distance, but did not mean to fight against the main force of the Qing army.

It was in this tacit understanding that finally came March 13th.

Early that morning, Xu Changqing was still the same as usual. Before dawn, he came to the command platform to move his body, check the movements of the Qing army, and observe whether the friendly troops were coming.

At this time, the Model Army can only eat food and grass for five or six days. If the main force of the Ming army still does not move, Xu Changqing can only take another risky move.

Now!

But as the sky became bright, what made Xu Changqing grit his teeth was that the main force of the Qing army began to retreat!

The camps of the two white flags have been almost completely cleaned up. Tens of thousands of elite cavalry are lying across the wilderness outside their camp. Many mules and carriages have been cleaned up, driven by countless coated slaves and slaves, slowly heading eastward.

On the west and south, the main forces of the blue flag and red flag inlaid have long disappeared, and they obviously set off overnight!

"Brother, Tartars, have the Tartars retreated?"

Wu Sanmei quietly came to Xu Changqing's side, but at this time she was obviously much more mature than before, and there was still a faint sadness in her beautiful eyes.

Who would have thought that her second brother, who has always regarded as a hero, was like an invisible person in this war, and did nothing at all...

Xu Changqing knew that Wu Sanmei felt uncomfortable and hugged her slender waist hard, "Well, the Tartars have retreated. This damn bad battle should be over!"

"Brother, yes, sorry..."

Wu Sanmei wanted to hold on, but she couldn't help it anymore and suddenly threw herself into Xu Changqing's arms and cried.

"The Tartars retreated, get out, hahahahahahahahahahaha..."

"Haha, dog Tartars, aren't you arrogant? Come on, come and have sex with the man!"

"Fuck your mother's dog Tartar, don't run away if you have any habit, get back to you..."

"We won, the dog Tartar retreated..."

Soon, news of the Qing army retreating spread among the model army, and the men were filled with joy, and many people couldn't help knocking on bowls and discs, venting their joy.

Xu Changqing hugged Wu Sanmei heavily, but his eyes gradually became gloomy!

The Tartars retreated, which means that their harvest in the Ming Dynasty and countless population and supplies had already left the war zone and found their way back!

...

The main forces of the two hundred banners of Dorgon and Duoduo brothers were all evacuated at the Si hour, while Hong Chengchou and Guanning's bosses came to the model army's position after a little more at noon.

The Tartars had already retreated, and they also let go, riding their horses to cheer and rush around.

But there are still fortifications blocking the Model Army. Even if these big boss's personal soldiers were unhappy, they saw that the Model Army had not moved and could only come down to fill the soil himself.

It was already noon when they opened the path and came to the model army.

Hong Chengchou came here in person and said with guilt: "Changqing, yes, I'm sorry for you. But facing the main force of the Qing army, I and Guan Ning also... I have the will but not the strength..."

Hong Chengchou had a very low attitude and almost apologized to Xu Changqing in person.

Wu Sangui, Zu Dale, Wang Tingchen, and Tang Tong all looked ashamed and were a little afraid to face Xu Changqing.

This time they were very interested in serving the king, so they were almost the same as those who came to travel. They didn’t do anything, so they paid him for public expenses.

After a while, Xu Changqing smiled far-fetchedly: "Governor, you are too modest. The Tartars are powerful, and I am in the Ming Dynasty. Many times, it is too difficult."

Seeing Xu Changqing relaxing, Hong Chengchou and others breathed a little relieved.

Hong Chengchou hurriedly smiled and said, "Changqing, your supplies are not much, right? I have informed the capital this morning that there are supplies coming from Pinggu, and it will be here tomorrow morning at the latest."

Although he had no fondness for Hong Chengchou and others, it was obviously not the time to tear each other apart. After everyone greeted outside the camp for a while, Xu Changqing still invited them to the camp to prepare wine and food.

Among these people, except for Zu Dale and Xu Changqing, it was the first time they met, everyone else was basically familiar with them, especially Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui.

Perhaps because they felt guilty, let alone Zu Dali, Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui were deliberately welcomed Xu Changqing at the banquet, and they only talked about the war, but only mentioned the matters that had been in Liao.

Xu Changqing did not tear the window paper, making the atmosphere of the banquet quite good.

It’s a pity that Xu Changqing and the Model Military are in this state, and the banquet is

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The dishes are pretty good, but there is not much wine, and it takes half an hour to finish the work.

Hong Chengchou, Zu Dale, Tang Tong and others all found excuses to go back to rest. Wang Tingchen wanted to say something, but under the gaze of several people, he could only sigh heavily and find an excuse to leave.

Wu Sangui stayed with Xu Changqing.

Seeing Xu Changqing's face soon become gloomy, Wu Sangui smiled, walked to the door of the big tent, closed the door with his own hands, and walked back and smiled and poured a glass of wine for Xu Changqing: "I'm very frustrated, are you?"

Xu Changqing glanced at Wu Sangui and said nothing.

"hehe."

Wu Sangui was not angry at all and smiled and said, "Changqing, this is reality, and it is also the ecology of my Ming Dynasty. If you can't change it, you have to adapt! However, second brother, I have to admire you. You can actually defend this situation, otherwise the general trend will probably collapse."

Wu Sangui said, picked up the wine glass, touched Xu Changqing for a while, ignored Xu Changqing's expression, and drank it all on his own.

Seeing that Xu Changqing was still staring at him without reaction, Wu Sangui rolled his eyes to Xu Changqing, then filled his glasses with wine, and said a little unhappy: "I said, Changqing, you are also a dignified uncle Zhongyi, you won't even have this kind of mind, right? Second brother, I will punish myself for three cups."

Seeing Wu Sangui drinking three glasses of wine in a row, Xu Changqing could no longer hold it back and tear Wu Sangui's neck: "Second brother, won't your conscience hurt? You are drinking and eating meat in Pinggu. Do you know that countless Han people and property have been taken out of prison by the dogs and Tatars! Do you know that these people will become slaves of the Tatars next year, and take the weapons made by the property and loot our Ming Dynasty again!"

Wu Sangui was about to fall apart when Xu Changqing shook his head. Xu Changqing caught several eye-catching blood marks on his neck.

But Wu Sangui was still not angry and said with a gentle smile: "Changqing, if you can beat me up, even if you beat me up, you can calm me down. It's worth it."

"You fucking!"

Xu Changqing swung his slap and was about to slap Wu Sangui in the face.

"don't want--"

At this moment, Wu Sanmei's scream suddenly came from outside the tent, and she rushed to the tent with tears in her beautiful eyes. She hurriedly hugged Xu Changqing tightly: "Brother, don't beat me. We are a family! You, what kind of resentment do you have, please send it to me..."

Before Xu Changqing could speak, Wu Sangui's expression changed. He glared at Wu Sanmei fiercely and said, "Sanmei, why are you doing here? Go out! Go out quickly!"

"Second brother..."

"Go out! If you don't go out, my second brother will not recognize you as a girl!"

"You, you-"

Wu Sanmei gritted her teeth and wanted to say something, but she didn't say it. She snorted in pain, turned her head and ran out of the tent.

Looking at Xu Changqing's gloomy face that was almost dripping from water, Wu Sangui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Changqing, do you know now? Second brother, I want to be a man too! But, we are not alone! We are all a whole family! Can you give up everything and ignore it like a bachelor? Second brother knows, Second brother, I'm sorry for you! But even if I die in the battlefield, can I solve the problem? It's no wonder that the situation is worse!"

Wu Sangui said, although he was laughing, his tears couldn't stop surging.

"call."

Xu Changqing couldn't help but breathe a long breath of turbid air, and his eyes gradually calmed down.

Just like the famous saying of the ages: "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu because I am in this mountain!"

According to Wu Sangui's cleverness, even if he cannot see through the essence of things, how could he not understand the principle?

But as he said just now, many things are not transferred by his personal will.
