356, Dorgon's decisive battle, Zhu Cifeng is far away

One night passed like this.

For the Qing soldiers under Dorgon, after several days of travel, they obviously hoped to have a few days of rest, but Dorgon did not think so.

"Zhu Ciyang is right in front of him. He is not a fool. If he finds that we are too strong and run away, wouldn't all his efforts be wasted?"

Under Dorgon's strict order, 100,000 Qing-Tatar coalition forces gathered early in the morning and pressed towards the Ming army camp not far away with a mighty force.

A hundred thousand troops were covered with smoke and dust, and the earth was shaking. The scene was extremely spectacular.

Zhu Cilang saw this scene clearly.

Although the prairie is vast, there are also many hills. You only need to stand on the top of the hill to see whereabouts of the enemy dozens of miles away.

Zhu Cilang pointed at Li Dingguo Road in the distance and said, "Do you see it? Dorgon is really confident this time. He can't even wait for the moment when the soldiers under his command will be completely rested."

Li Dingguodao: "The thing in Dorgon's mind has been clearly calculated by His Highness. This time Jiannu will definitely be defeated!"

Zhu Cilang laughed and shook his head and said, "It is undoubtedly not a good thing to lose, but I think it is enough to teach him a lesson. Okay, let's retreat."

After saying this, Zhu Cilang took Li Dingguo and a group of guards to leave without looking back.

Dorgon was excited.

"Maybe I can kill Zhu Cixuan today!"

In the past few years, Zhu Cixuan has fought in the east and fought against the Qing Dynasty, pacified the bandits such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and recovered Shanxi from the Qing Dynasty, and killed the Heshuote Khanate, who had just been entrusted with the Qing Dynasty for a few months.

These behaviors can be said to be steadily stabbed into Man Qing's body, making Man Qing feel like he was bleeding endlessly.

As the auxiliary king of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon felt that there was an invisible net under the control of Zhu Cilang, constantly falling towards Shengjing from all directions.

If the Qing Dynasty did not do anything, they might be trapped to death by this big net.

Dorgon's idea was very simple and direct. As long as he could kill Zhu Cixuan, a hunter holding a big net, the entire big net would naturally be defeated!

Now, dreams are right in front of you!

But the next moment, an accident happened.

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

Badali was stunned at first when he heard this, and then immediately became happy: "What, Ming Jun actually fled?"

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

Badali looked at Dorgon with some confusion: "Prince Rui, why do you seem unhappy?"

Dorgon was not only unhappy, but Dorgon's face was completely ashen at this moment!

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

Badali said with some doubts and was not sure: "This means the war is over, right?"

Dorgon sneered and said, "End? Think carefully, what is the goal of the Ming army sending troops this time? It is to eliminate and conquer the entire Tatar Mongolia! Now that your Korqin tribe is still here, how could the Ming army end the war?"

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

Dorgon said coldly: "It's not that I want to continue fighting, but that I will continue fighting! It's just that the cunning Prince of Ming Dynasty knew that his troops were not our opponents, so he chose to retreat temporarily!"

Badali was speechless, but soon cheered up and smiled at Dorgon, "Prince Rui, don't worry, even if the Ming army wants to continue to fight, it's okay. This is a prairie, the territory of our Mongolians. The Ming army is just a group of outsiders. How could it be possible to get any advantage in our Mongolians' territory?"

Dorgon had the urge to roll his eyes at this time.

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

The Korqin tribe is an indigenous person on the grasslands in the south of the desert. Is the Chahar tribe not?

With the help of Chahar tribe, the Ming army also came and went freely in the grasslands in the southern desert, no worse than the Korqin tribe.

Dorgon barely suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Badali: "My Qing army is mainly infantry. How do you think we should catch up with the four legs of the Ming army? Or do you think that relying solely on the cavalry of the Korchin tribe is enough to destroy the Ming army alone?"

Badali was also asked so much that he couldn't speak.

If the Korchin tribe could defeat the Ming army alone, why would Badali wait for Dorgon to come?

The two of them stared at each other with big eyes, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Badali rolled his Adam's apple and said, "What should we do now?"

Dorgon hesitated.

Now there are only two choices, one is to chase and the other is not to chase.

Chase, the main force of the Qing army is all infantry, and it is a fantasy to track down the Ming army composed of pure cavalry.

If you don’t chase him, would you just watch Zhu Ciyang run away?

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

Dorgon actually thought it through at this time, and he would definitely not be able to catch up, so don’t waste his energy.

Badali was obviously disappointed when he heard this: "Is it that Zhu Ciyang has become so arrogant?"

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

Dorgon snorted and said, "Although Zhu Cixuan can escape, he lacks supplies and cannot stay on the grassland for too long. By that time, he would either choose to return to the Central Plains in the south or he would have to take the initiative to find some tribes to grab supplies."

"You immediately let all the tribes in Monan come here to ensure that Zhu Cixuan can't grab any supplies. When he is at his end, even though the grassland is so vast, there is no place for him to hide!"

Badali was immediately happy when she heard this and said happily: "Prince Rui is both wise and brave. I will do it now. I must trap Zhu Cilang to death and starve to death in this grassland!"

Badali hurriedly went to send an order, while Dorgon stood on the chariot, staring at the direction where the Ming army left in the distance, and sneered after a long time.

"Fighting Witness? I have eaten more salt than you have eaten. You are a guy with a stinky and stinky chewy guy, why are you fighting me with?"
