After running for more than forty miles in one breath, the Thirteenth Prince's troops were already long and were like a long dragon, especially the Qing army fled behind them. Faced with this situation, the Thirteenth Prince's face turned pale, but he had no choice but to do anything.

"Prince, there is Mentougou in front of you."

Standing on the back of the horse, raising his hand to look forward, the Thirteenth Prince asked the forward to quickly pass through Mentougou, and at the same time he was paying attention to the ambush around him. After the explanation, he continued to move forward. The current forward passed Mentougou, and before the Thirteenth Prince could let go, he suddenly heard a burst of cannons, and the Thirteenth Prince's face changed drastically.

"Prince! No, there is a Ming army ahead!" A general hurriedly rode his horse and ran.

"How many people are there?" The Thirteenth Prince asked anxiously.

"There is a huge black area, just guarding the west of Mentougou, with tens of thousands of people..."

My heart sank. This worst situation happened. It seemed that Ming Jun had already prepared. He was sure that he would go to Mentougou, otherwise how could he set up an ambush in Mentougou?

But at this time, the Thirteenth Prince no longer had time to regret, and there was no way out. At the moment, he could only bite the bullet and walk to the end.

"Tell me the order that the entire army will attack Mentougou, and no matter how it opens up the road for me. If you cannot stand out, it will be a dead end. Do you understand?"

"The last general understands!" The general also knew in his heart that he could only rush out desperately. If he rushed over, he would be alive, if he couldn't rush over, he would die, and there would be no other way.

For a time, the Mentougou War officially broke out. On the one hand, the Ming army was waiting for battle, and on the other hand, the Qing army was about to flee. Although the Ming army had not many troops, only about 10,000 people, the position occupied by the Ming army was extremely important, and it was well prepared, so it had already set off to wait for the Qing army to get into its pocket.

As for the Qing army, although there were more than 50,000 people, the morale of the Qing army is now low. Moreover, the environment in Mentougou in Ming army is not suitable for large troops to deploy. The terrain is narrow and fluctuating. Although the Qing army has many people, it cannot be used to fight head-on. Moreover, the Qing army's firearms, especially the cannons, were still behind, and they could not be pulled for a while. On the first day of the two armies, the Ming army defeated the Qing army. Although the Qing army was still fighting, the offensive was higher and higher than the other, the Ming army used fortifications and arrays of artillery and firearms to fight, firmly gaining the upper hand.

In just one hour, the Qing army suffered thousands of casualties in Mentougou, while the Ming army was still stationed in the position and did not retreat even a step back.

On the battlefield, there were smoke everywhere, and countless Qing army corpses everywhere. When he saw the Thirteenth Prince who looked like this, he felt pain and hatred, and was extremely anxious, but he had to continue to issue orders to attack. He only hoped to fill a way out with his life.

The battle in Mentougou lasted from noon until afternoon. The morale of the Qing army became weaker and weaker, and he could not break through the Ming army's front. At this time, the Thirteenth Prince also took the initiative. He even sent his own personal guard troops in order to break the Ming army's defense line. However, the fact gave him a heavy blow. Only half of the three thousand personal guards finally withdrew, and even the personal guard generals he valued the most were in a state of demise.

"The prince is not good, there is a Ming army coming to attack behind him!"

"What?" The house was raining all night, and the boat was in a hurry again. Just as the Qing army was blocked in Mentougou by the Ming army, the news from the Ming army suddenly became a straw that broke the camel's back.

In an instant, the rear of the Qing army was in chaos. The Qing army, which was already low in morale, had the courage to fight with the Ming army? On the battlefield, there were escaped Qing army everywhere. As for the cannons, ordnances, even battle flags, etc., who could still care about it? It was thrown all over the ground.

The Ming army, who was dispatched from the rear, was calm and advanced step by step, which put great pressure on the Qing army. At this time, the Thirteenth Prince could no longer control the army. Seeing the army running around in the setting sun, as well as the sound of cannons and gunshots that were getting closer and closer in the distance, his face was pale and his hands trembled involuntarily.

"Prince! Prince! Run away quickly, it will be too late if you don't run!"

"Run? Where to run?" The Thirteenth Prince smiled miserably and said, "Heaven will be out of my way, there is no way to go. Is my Qing Dynasty really helpless?"

The Thirteenth Prince, who was completely disappointed, sighed and his eyes suddenly became sharp. He pulled out the knife hard and raised his hand to wipe it towards his neck. When the guards next to him hugged the Thirteenth Prince and grabbed the knife from his hand.

"Give me the knife back! I am the descendant of Taizu. There are only princes who died in battle, and no princes who were captured!" The Thirteenth Prince shouted angrily and struggled desperately.

"I have offended you." The guard leader said, knocking the struggling Thirteenth Prince unconscious, and then ordered several other guards: "Hurry, help me change the prince's clothes."

As he said that, he pointed to a person and said, "You are similar in figure to the prince. Take off your clothes and change them to the prince. The rest of the people took the prince directly to Yesanpo and went straight to Yesanpo, and they would protect the prince from all over no matter what!"

Everyone responded quickly, and soon the guard who had put on the armor of the Thirteenth Prince turned towards the fierce battle in Mentougou under the cover of the rest. At this time, the Thirteenth Prince, who had already changed into ordinary guard clothes, quietly walked south with the assistance of several other guards, trying to bypass the battlefield and sneak into Yesanpo, and then use the terrain of Yesanpo to cross the mountains.

When night fell, the entire Qing army was trapped in a narrow area west of Mentougou. At this time, the Qing army had lost any morale, and the news of the disappearance of the Thirteenth Prince also spread. At this time, Tu Ersheng, the highest-level, saw that there was no possibility of breaking through, so he ordered the entire army to surrender as a general.

By dawn the next day, except for the Qing army who died in battle and the previous escaped, all the more than 40,000 Qing troops in Mentougou surrendered. When the Qing army, who had taken off their weapons and armor and had long queues, were captured under the Ming army's escort, the Battle of Mentougou, which only one day before and after, ended.

This battle almost wiped out all the main forces of the Qing army in Zhili. Except for the thousands of Qing troops left behind, the entire Qing army in Zhili was all solved in one fell swoop. At this time, from the south of Beijing to Kaifeng, the power of the Qing army was almost wiped out, and there was no force to resist the Ming army's footsteps.
