Chapter 397: The Defeat of Ji Xiha
Collision, dissipation, and collision again.
The Ming army and the Qing army were clearly separated just like the Jingshui River and the Wei River.
Jishiha’s strategy is right, and it may really be a defeat if he continues to waste like this.
However, the Ming army obviously did not intend to let them go. Although the Ming army, led by the Hu Ben Army, Zheng Family Army and Chixin Camp, had only more than 10,000 people, they played the role of the mainstay.
Even the Eight Banners soldiers seemed a little overwhelmed under their joint attack.
In desperation, Ji Xiha had no choice but to break his arm and survive, personally led some of the main players to break through.
Of course, this caused panic among the Qing army to a certain extent. The green camp soldiers wanted to catch up with the central army, but it was not easy. The ones between them were the Modao Hand and the Spearmen.
The moment the ice and fire merged, there was a severe sense of trauma, and countless soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
The battle lasted for several hours. When Yu Qi ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, he looked around at the bodies of Qing soldiers all over the place.
There are also some ownerless horses neighing, making people feel very desolate.
Of course, the Ming army also suffered heavy losses. It was estimated that at least 30,000 people were killed or injured in this battle.
So although the Ming army won, it was a terrible victory.
Of course, Ji Xiha, who fled in a hurry, didn't know this. He ran out dozens of miles before he dared to slow down a little, secretly glad that he had escaped and ascended to heaven.
He brought an army of 100,000, and lost more than half of them. He gathered the defeated troops along the way and retreated to Laizhou in a panic.
In a short period of time, Jixiha would not dare to step into Dengzhou again.
...
...
However, it was said that after Ji Xiha led his troops back to Laizhou, he did not stay. After leaving behind tens of thousands of troops, he and his confidant retreated directly back to Jinan Prefecture.
Ning Wan, I learned that Jesse Had returned from victory and hurriedly led the city officials out of the city to greet him.
But when he saw Ji Xiha and his party's condition, his heart was cold.
I saw that the Qing army led by Jishiha were all listless, and some even threw away their hooded helmets.
This state doesn't seem like a victory.
But Ning Wan, I still gave Ji Xiha enough face. I did not ask questions openly at this time, but went to the city first.
After returning to the Governor's Office, Ning Wan, I directly invited Ji Xiha to the study to discuss matters.
After the screening left and right, Ning Wan, I smiled and said in a deep voice: "General Jixiha tell me, how is this battle going?"
When Jixiha saw Ning Wan, I looked like I was questioning, and I felt extremely unhappy.
But he couldn't show it, so he could only force himself to smile and said, "Of course he won."
"Winning?"
Ning Wan, I sneered and said, "I don't look like I win. The emperor has given such an important task to the general, so the general cannot disappoint the emperor."
Jixiha thought to himself, you, an immortal, dare to use the emperor to suppress me. It seems that this old man is indeed a military supervisor sent by the emperor.
Jixiha dared to offend Ning Wan, but I didn't dare to offend Shunzhi. Although I was very upset, I could only smile and said, "Look at what Governor Ning said, we are all the emperor's slaves, so we are naturally doing our best to do our jobs for the emperor. How could it disappoint the emperor?"
Jixiha's retort is also very good, meaning that everyone is a slave, so don't use chicken feathers as a command arrow, just about the same thing.
Ning Wan, I am an old fry, how can I not hear the hidden meaning of Ji Xiha?
He stroked his beard and said silently. After a long time, he spit out a word and said, "The general and the old man are so clear. Have Dengzhou taken it?"
Speaking of this, both sides have already tacitly understood.
Ji Xiha knew that it was meaningless to continue hiding it, so he coughed and cleared his throat and said, "Dengzhou was not taken down, but I tied with Ming Zhe, and Ming Zhe did not gain any advantage."
After hearing this, I have realized it.
Jixiha said this, which means that the Qing army was defeated in the Battle of Dengzhou.
If it was a draw, Jishiha would definitely boast that he had a little advantage.
Alas, it's such a waste. A hundred thousand troops in his hands were simply a waste.
It would have been great if the powerful generals from the Taizong Dynasty were still there, even if Obai was still alive, it would not have been like this.
No matter how much you complain, no matter how much you complain.
Now, I really can only rely on Jishi.
Jixiha is already good at drawing the general from the short guy.
Who else can I use without Jixiha?
If you change someone to command the troops, it may not be possible that the effect will be worse.
I can't just go to the battlefield myself, right?
Not to mention that he is over seventy years old and can't even ride a horse.
Even if he is thirty years younger, he is in his prime, I would rather stay than lead troops to fight.
He was just a poisonous man hiding behind to give advice, similar to Jia Xu of the Three Kingdoms.
It would be too difficult for him to command troops.
It is impossible to command troops, and it is impossible to command troops in this life.
I can't charge and get into battle, so I can only rely on advice and gangsters to live like this.
"Then have the general thought about how to write the report to the court?"
Since I can only continue to work with Ji Xiha, Ning Wan, I can only pinch my nose and accept it.
Now what he has to consider is not to kill Jeshi like this, but to protect this person as much as possible.
Because it may be worse to change another one, so it might be better to use Jishi.
"Of course, we should avoid the important things and say that Laizhou is a great victory."
Jishiha obviously has a lot of experience in this area, and he talks about it very much.
"After all, Laizhou has been revived. I can write a lot of books. The emperor will definitely be happy after reading it."
"But the emperor asked the general to take down Denglai within one month, not just Laizhou. The general should be clear about this, right?"
Ning Wan, I reminded Ji Xiha, and the report was naturally beautiful and how to write it. But if Shunzhi's death order to Ji Xiha cannot be completed on schedule, even Ning Wan, I can't protect Ji Xiha.
"I naturally know this, so I have to trouble Governor Ning to write a letter to His Majesty to explain the difficulties and ask the emperor to send another army to reinforce."
When I heard this, I almost laughed out loud.
This Jixiha is really thicker than the city wall.
The 100,000 troops were beaten to this ghost, and they were so embarrassed to ask for reinforcements.
This is clearly meant to be a mess. This is the situation. If there is no reinforcement, you can only defend Laizhou at most. Don’t count on Dengzhou.
Ning Wan, I can imagine Emperor Shunzhi's angry expression after seeing this memorial.
But now it seems that there is no better way than this method.
Jixiha didn't urge Ning Wan, and just looked at him calmly.
Ning Wan, I held it in a long time before sighing: "Forget it, I will write a memorial to the emperor to explain the situation and ask the court to send reinforcements to Shandong."
Ning Wan, I really didn’t expect that Yu Qi would turn Shandong upside down.
He did not expect that the process of suppressing the thieves would be so difficult.
But no matter how difficult it is, Denglai must be recovered. This hole cannot be opened, otherwise the north will be full of uprisings and will be unpredictable.
