Tang Dynasty, I can lead troops through ancient and modern times

Dorgon opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

He never imagined that these few Tang Dynasty soldiers had such powerful fighting power.

He hurriedly stepped forward to stabilize the situation, but the Qing army was already in chaos and could not organize an effective resistance.

Under the fierce attack of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, the Qing army was defeated and the battlefield was in a mess.

The blood dyed the earth red, the smoke filled the air, and the shouts and screams were intertwined.

Dorgon looked at the Qing army that was being defeated like a tide, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness.

He gritted his teeth and rode his horse forward himself, trying to stabilize the situation.

He waved the whip in his hand and shouted loudly, asking the soldiers not to panic and to reorganize their resistance.

However, the Qing army at this time had been frightened by the fierce attack of the Tang Dynasty soldiers and fell into deep chaos, and was unable to obey his command at all.

The soldiers fled in all directions, trampling on each other, and the sounds of crying, shouting, and cursing were intertwined.

Some threw away their weapons and armor and ran desperately to the rear;

Some just stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.

The battlefield was in a mess, weapons were scattered all over the ground, and wounded soldiers were groaning in pain on the ground.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Dorgon knew that the situation was hopeless and any further resistance would only result in greater losses.

In desperation, Dorgon had to order a retreat.

He fled backwards in a hurry with the remaining troops.

Along the way, the Qing army was in disarray, like a pile of loose sand.

The generals also lost their former prestige and pushed their soldiers forward desperately.

The sound of horse hooves was chaotic and the dust raised filled the air, making the entire retreat process even more chaotic.

Li Chengqian looked at the retreating Qing army, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

He knew that this was a great opportunity and he must not let it go.

He immediately ordered his soldiers to continue the pursuit and kill as many Qing troops as possible.

The morale of the Tang Dynasty soldiers was high, and they followed the Qing army closely like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

While chasing, they continued to shoot at the Qing army, causing the Qing army to suffer casualties while fleeing.

The pursuit continued into the evening, as the sky gradually darkened and the vision became blurred.

Li Chengqian took into account that the soldiers were already exhausted and in order to avoid unnecessary losses, he ordered to stop the pursuit.

After this fierce battle, the Tang army achieved brilliant results.

In this battle, more than 8,000 Qing troops were killed and more than 20,000 were captured.

Dorgon suffered heavy losses and was seriously injured.

The Qing army was originally in a strategic offensive posture in the Liaodong region, but after this battle, the situation was instantly reversed.

Dorgon had to switch to strategic defense, the initiative changed hands, and the Tang army gained the upper hand.

The victory of this battle greatly boosted the morale of the Liaodong military and civilians, and laid a solid foundation for subsequent battles.

For Dorgon, he will face even more severe challenges. How to reorganize the army, restore strength, and deal with the attacks of the Han people has become a problem that he needs to solve urgently.

As night fell on the camp, Li Chengqian gathered everyone in the tent overnight to discuss follow-up matters.

The former Qing imperial palace in Shengjing City was brightly lit, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Zhang Sun Wuji was the first to come forward and report: "Your Highness, Generals Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong have entered the peninsula to grab food as planned.

The progress is currently going smoothly. It just happens to be winter now, and the Yalu River is frozen, so the army can pass directly through, which provides great convenience for our logistical supplies.

According to the news from the front, they have successfully captured some strongholds and collected a lot of food, but they have also encountered resistance from some local forces, but they were all successfully repelled by our soldiers. "

Li Jing then put forward his own suggestion: "Your Highness, now that we have achieved a great victory and the morale of the Qing army has been frustrated, it is a good time for us to pursue the victory.

I suggest starting a large-scale counterattack tomorrow, concentrating all our forces, and trying to kill Dorgon, Dodo and others within three days.

Once they are eliminated, the Qing army will be leaderless and fall into chaos, and we will be able to completely control the situation in Liaodong."

Li Shimin frowned and raised a key question: "We have to consider who will be the leader of Liaodong after we leave.

This is related to whether the situation we have worked so hard to build can be stabilized, as well as the subsequent elimination and governance of the remaining forces of the Qing Dynasty. "

Li Chengqian nodded and said solemnly, "Father is right. This is indeed a major issue and it is extremely important.

But in Liaodong at this time and space, it is indeed difficult to find someone who can take on this important task.

Chongzhen was too suspicious and indecisive in making decisions, making him incompetent.

Wu Sangui had some military talent, but he was an erratic traitor and could not be trusted."

After listening to Li Chengqian's analysis and the suggestions of Fang Xuanling, Pei Xingjian and others, everyone showed a dilemma on their faces.

There was a brief silence in the tent, and the atmosphere became increasingly heavy.

Li Jing frowned and broke the silence first: "Your Highness, we have finally gained such an advantage. If we give up now, we will be unwilling to do so.

This favorable situation was gained by our soldiers with their blood and sweat. It would be a pity to give it up so easily.

But we do face the difficult issue of selecting the next leader, which is indeed a headache.”

His tone was full of helplessness and regret, and his eyes revealed his reluctance to the situation on the battlefield.

Zhang Sun Wuji also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Your Highness. We have fought all the way here and victory is in sight. If we cannot consolidate the results of the battle, there may be changes in the future.

However, it is an indisputable fact that the situation in Liaodong is complicated and it is difficult to find a suitable leader.

If we leave blindly, I am afraid all our previous efforts will be wasted."

He shook his head as he spoke, his face full of confusion.

Pei Xingjian stood up and said seriously, "Your Highness, I understand everyone's concerns.

But we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Perhaps we can pay more attention to the performance of military officers and local people during the battles in the next few days, and maybe we can find some potential suitable candidates.

At the same time, we can develop more detailed strategic plans and governance plans before leaving to ensure the stability of the subsequent situation as much as possible.”

Fang Xuanling also continued, "General Pei's words make sense.

We can take a two-pronged approach: on the one hand, actively seek out talents; on the other hand, strengthen the integration and guidance of existing forces.

Although this is a difficult process, we must do our best to maintain this hard-earned good situation.

Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we cannot give up easily."
