When he said the order to withdraw his troops, Jirgalang felt his heart bleeding.

The Qing Dynasty's manpower was not as sufficient as the Ming Dynasty. The areas controlled by the Qing Dynasty are now Liaodong and Inner Mongolia. It seems that the territory is quite large, but they are all places with vast land and sparse population. In fact, the population is very limited.

This led to the Ming Dynasty's failures in the war with the Qing Dynasty, but any failure of the Qing Dynasty could be considered a traumatic injury.

It is impossible to continue fighting in the face of such a huge number of casualties.

Although Jirgalang was the auxiliary king, he was not the real emperor. What he could control was the blue flag under his command. When the commanders of other Eight Banners clearly proposed to retreat, it was difficult for Jirgalang to go against the will of everyone in order to protect the interests of his political allies.

Don’t forget that there is Dorgon in Shengjing City looking at him!

After hearing Jirgalang's order, many Qing generals breathed a sigh of relief.

The sharp sound of gold began to sound, and countless Qing soldiers retreated like a tide and retreated to the camp.

Jirgalang sat on the chair with a depressed expression, no longer as elegant as he had in the previous few days.

The generals were beside Jirgalang, and the atmosphere gradually changed, becoming sad and solemn.

Needless to say, the sadness is for those Manchu warriors, Mongolian friends and Han servants who died bravely here.

As for the solemn atmosphere, it is mainly aimed at the aftermath.

The Qing Dynasty had not been defeated by the Ming Dynasty for several years on the battlefield. As for suffering such heavy losses, it was even more rare.

It can be expected that after this war, some changes will inevitably occur within the Qing Dynasty. As the top leaders of the Qing Dynasty, the military aristocrats present should now start thinking about what actions they should take in the next political changes!

Suddenly, Jirgalang spoke: "Who is the person leading the troops opposite?"

After a brief silence, someone replied: "It is Wu Sangui, the governor of Ji Liao in Ming Dynasty."

Jierhalang sneered and said, "I know Wu Sangui, he can't have this ability."

Someone said, "It seems that the main reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty have arrived, and that should be Li Guozhen, the No. 1 Xiangcheng."

Jiergalang was silent for a while and said, "Li Guozhen is an unknown person. Can he really have this ability?"

After a while, someone said, "If it weren't these two people, could it be Li Guozhen's military supervisor, and that Ming Dynasty prince Zhu Ciyang?"

Someone immediately said, "But the prince is only fifteen years old!"

Jiergalang was silent for a longer time and said, "It should be this prince. I always thought that the so-called defending Beijing and defeating Li Zicheng were blown by the Ming Dynasty, with the purpose of boosting morale. But after this battle... Hehe, the troops were divided into two groups, and suddenly attacked, hiding the red barbarian cannons until the critical moment. Although this Ming Dynasty prince was young, he was very skilled in using troops and was not under Taizu and Taizong!"

After Jiergalang said that, all the Qing generals present were shocked.

Of course, Taizu Taizong said that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty, but the Qing Taizu Nurhaci and Qing Taizong Huang Taiji!

These two are recognized war geniuses. Needless to say, Nurhaci raised an army with thirteen armored soldiers and established the Later Jin from nothing to something. The Battle of Sarhu was even more talked about. Huang Taiji was also not inferior. During his ten years of reign, he subdued Mongolia in the southern part of the desert, defeated the Ming army in the Songjin battle, and surrounded the capital to capture Jinan, completely gaining a strategic initiative against the Ming Dynasty.

Nurhaci and Huang Taiji were regarded as gods of war and idols by many Qing generals, and they were eager to follow them.

Now, as Nurhaci's adopted son, Huang Taiji's most die-hard and loyal supporter, Jirhalang actually shows that the country's crown prince Zhu Cilang is not inferior to these two people. The huge shock caused to the Qing generals present can be imagined.

However, due to Jirgalang's identity, no one present dared to refute him, but he just remembered these words silently in his heart.

After sighing, Jirgalang stood up: "Okay, what are you waiting for? Retreat, and retreat now while it's dark!"

After saying this, Jirgalang slowly walked down the commanding platform. Under the sunlight, his figure seemed a little hunched and old.

Under Jirgalang's order, the Qing army, who had just withdrawn from the camp, took action again and set off the camp and retreated north.

After this battle ended here, all the strategic goals of the Qing army had failed, and it was meaningless to stay.

The Qing army's retreat to the north was soon noticed by the Ming army in Shanhaiguan.

Suddenly, Shanhaiguan turned into a sea of ​​joy.

"Jiannu has retreated!"

"The Ming Dynasty won!"

"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

Many Ming soldiers in Shanhaiguan were filled with tears and excited.

Wu Sangui was standing among the crowd, and he was naturally happy. After all, this was a victory for Wu Sangui to participate in it.

But while being happy, Wu Sangui's mood was a little complicated.

Win means winning, but this way of winning is very different from what Wu Sangui imagined.

Wu Sangui originally thought that he should have been in charge of Shanhaiguan and defeated the Qing Dynasty many times, and Jiergalang had no choice but to leave with hatred.

Now, Jirgalang really left with hatred, but before that, Jirgalang almost beat Wu Sangui to stupid. If Wu Sangui had not admitted his consent in time to ask Zhu Cixuan to send troops to provide assistance, then Wu Sangui would probably not be enjoying victory in Shanhaiguan, but on the way to escape in a panic!

When Wu Sangui thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh, his eyes slowly moved, and fell on Zhu Cixuan and Li Guozhen not far away.

Li Guozhen was very happy, and the smile on his face was about to overflow.

"Your Highness, our victory this time is a great victory!"

If we only look at Shanhaiguan, it seems that it is just an ordinary defensive battle, which is nothing more than causing the Qing army to suffer more losses than usual.

But if you look at the overall situation on the battlefield, the situation will be completely different.

Let’s first look at the situation before the outbreak of the war. At that time, Li Zicheng was entrenched in Baoding City to recruit soldiers, and he might have to go north and attack Beijing again. The Qing Dynasty was even more ready to move, intending to take advantage of the time when the Ming Dynasty and Li Zicheng conquered each other and occupy Shanhaiguan and even Beijing City.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty was still in a very critical situation at that time.

But what about now?

After nearly a month of battle, the Ming army on the southern front, led by the British Duke, defeated the troops that Li Zicheng had gathered after the Battle of Gu'an, successfully recovered Baoding, and further expanded its power to the south, which was already very close to the Yellow River, and was about to open up the passage with the Ming-controlled area in the south.

On the northern line, Zhu Cixuan successfully repelled the Qing Dynasty's attack on Shanhaiguan, causing quite heavy losses to the Qing Dynasty. It can be expected that the Qing Dynasty will inevitably cause internal turmoil due to this failure, which will give the Ming Dynasty more time to solve internal problems.

If the Ming Dynasty was in an ICU ward with 24 hours of daily intensive care, then the Ming Dynasty has been transferred from the ICU ward to the general ward and officially started the rehabilitation course!

As the main general of the northern line in this war, Li Guozhen dealt with the elite Jiannu who was even more vicious than Li Zicheng, and then successfully defeated Jiannu.

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Guozhen will be famous all over the world after this battle. Needless to say, the glory and wealth are the only ones. It is even more true that it has been recorded in history and the past. Why don’t you say this make him ecstatic?

Zhu Cilang's reaction was relatively dull. He smiled and said, "I won, it's great. Thank you for your hard work!"

When Zhu Cixuan spoke, his eyes did not fall on Li Guozhen or Wu Sangui, but looked at the many Ming soldiers who were cheering in front of him.

Many of these soldiers were injured, with white cloth wrapped around the wounds, but traces of blood seeping can still be seen.

Some people lost their hands and feet in the war and couldn't stand up, but they still celebrated with their comrades with a smile on their faces.

Some people even silently hugged the corpse in their robes and were whispering something.

Zhu Cilang walked over and the crowd separated a path.

Zhu Cixuan stopped in front of a soldier, squatted down, and patted the other person on the shoulder.

"What's his name?"

The other party looked up in surprise and was obviously surprised when he saw Zhu Cilang.

"Your Highness, he, he is my brother, called... Erwazi."

Zhu Cilang looked at the young soldier in the other party's arms who was still glaring, and seemed to be able to feel the heroic posture of the soldier who was still brave enough to kill the enemy before his death.

"How did he die?"

The young soldier gritted his teeth and said, "He, he fought with Jiannu when Jiannu was killed on the wall. He killed two Jiannu but did not lose it to our Ming Dynasty, it was embarrassing!"

Zhu Cilang smiled and gently reached out to cover Erwazi's eyelids.

"He is the hero of our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Cixuan stood up, looked at the countless Ming soldiers gathered around him, and spoke slowly.

"Everyone, we really won today, but this is not the end. We did hurt them today, but these Jiannu are wild dogs that are not remembered to eat or beat. As long as they are not completely eliminated, they will always make a comeback. There will be more second-children and more brothers in robes here.

The Ming Dynasty cannot always defend passively, and cannot always be beaten in Shanhaiguan, Juyongguan, and Jiayuguan! One day, I will take you out of this pass, recover Jinzhou, enter Shenyang, eliminate Jiannu, and recreate the glory of Liaodong and the Ming Dynasty!

I just want to ask you one thing, do you dare to follow me?"

After a brief silence, there was a shocking roar.

"kill!!!"

At this moment, countless Ming soldiers shared the same hatred of the enemy and shouted loudly.

"Kill back to Shenyang and kill all Jiannu!"

"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

"Long live the prince!"
Chapter completed!
