At midnight north of the capital

According to Dorgon's retreat order, there were more people coming out tonight, and of course most of them were ordinary people.

As for the dignitaries in the capital, according to Dorgon's idea, they must have an escort from an army.

These people were only escorted by a small number of troops, but the Qing Dynasty men had fought wars, and these people also retreated from the army for various reasons. Now they can escort themselves.

After dark, these people retreated in two columns, mainly because the road to the mountain is relatively narrow. If there are many arrangements, it will form a crowded mountain range to the north.

Afterwards, they set up several temporary detention points inside, waiting for the people in the city to retreat, and then entered the Mongolian grassland together.

The plan is of course very good, but in the past two days, the Ming cavalry were discovered continuously around, making these people look like frightened birds.

Because there are many roads to enter the mountains, it is impossible for the Ming army to be blocked in an instant, so they can only send small teams of cavalry to conduct reconnaissance.

If they were to investigate nearby, the Qing people would hide on the spot. If they were to investigate the cavalry farther away, they would speed up their retreat, which was like both sides were playing hide-and-seek.

"Follow me a little bit, don't make any noise."

The Qing general Detai was responsible for the retreat tonight.

Although the weather was already very cool at night, this guy was still sweating all over, not because he was scared after the clothes he was wearing.

My subordinates had reported it just now that a fifty-man Ming cavalry was found ten miles southeast.

According to some of the original response plans, it should be time to suspend retreat and send his own people to stare at the Ming cavalry, but Dorgon issued a tough order to him that if the 6,000 people could not be withdrawn tonight, he would be dealt with tomorrow morning.

So no matter what happens, you have to step up your retreat. Now these ordinary people are already jogging all the way.

Of course, many people have wealthy families and still retreat by carriage. However, because many people are crowded together, even if they are retreating by carriage, they cannot run. What's more, everyone has to get off the bus and walk not far ahead, and there is no way to get on the mountain road by carriage.

The gunshots... are over...

When Detai heard gunfires coming from the southeast direction, he knew that his side must have been exposed.

Just now, this guy sent a smart young man under him to let him stare at the Ming cavalry.

If they came to them, they would come back quickly to report the news. Who knew that the young man was not brought back, but instead heard the gunshots of the Ming Dynasty.

The people immediately panicked. Although they didn't know what the situation was going on outside the city, they asked them to retreat overnight. As long as they were not too stupid, they could know how far the Qing Dynasty had reached. So after hearing the gunshots, these people ran around the mountain in panic.

"Don't run around, you are not familiar with mountain roads at all. If you run around, don't think about it when you enter. Run quickly according to the original route."

Detai was also very anxious when he saw those running around, but there was no other way to do this product. After all, these people under him were extremely panicked. If they were to let them be honest, it would probably be impossible.

Seeing that the gunfire was getting closer, this guy couldn't care about so much, so he rushed up with his fifty guards, hoping to give these people more time to retreat.

There were not many troops on the Ming Dynasty, only a search team of more than 30 people.

The captain is their platoon leader Zhang Guoji.

After the gunfire sounded, two nearby search teams also came, with a total of more than 100 people, and the rank was the highest for Zhang Guoji, so they all obeyed Zhang Guoji's leadership.

Just now, the Qing people were carrying out their cleaning plan. In the area near the mountain, as long as they were familiar with the roads in the mountains, all of them were in their cleaning plan.

Just when they were murdering and committing evil, they were met by Zhang Guoji and his subordinates, so there was nothing to say. The two sides directly exchanged fire.

Zhang Guoji was killed and injured, and all fifteen soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were killed.

If it were during the day, there would probably be no casualties here. With the darkness at night and the Qing people had fortifications, some people died here.

After interrogation, we realized how vicious the hearts of the Qing people were, so Zhang Guoji directly killed the remaining prisoners.

"Captain, there is a sound of horse hooves."

In fact, these people didn't notice the retreating team at all, but Detai was too nervous and brought people here, and ended up meeting Zhang Guoji's people.

"What else can I say? Be prepared for battle and kill all these beasts for me."

They knew when they were interrogating just now that almost all of the more than 30 hunters nearby were killed.

The soldiers under his command were also full of righteous indignation and took out their pistols at this moment. When they were fighting immediately, although the rifles had a relatively long range, they were not as convenient as pistols.

It turns out that the range of the revolver is too close. Now that he has changed into a Mauser pistol, his combat effectiveness has improved more than just a little.

The enemies were particularly jealous when they met. The Qing soldiers thought they were here to destroy the retreat route. Zhang Guoji was avenging the dead hunters. After the two sides met, they started fighting directly.

Detai was also a good player among the Qing people. A bow and arrow made the tiger powerful. As long as he could shoot the archery, he could definitely kill the opponent. However, in today's battle, this guy could not use all his skills.

Even when he has the best grades, he will never hit the enemy at this distance.

But the other party can easily kill them. This is an unequal battle. No matter how brave the people on your side are, what's the use of you not being able to beat them?

Originally, the moonlight was bright that night, Detai thought it was God's appearance, so that the retreating team would not have torches, and there would be less chance of exposure. However, now the moonlight is still so bright and it is not so friendly to his soldiers.

"No one can retreat, I will explain here tonight."

Detai saw some soldiers retreating and pulled out his waist knife. If they retreated, it would expose the retreat route...
