The two sides first conducted small-scale probing and then increased their forces to expand the scale of the battle.

The Ming army's infantry firearms were powerful.

The Jiannu cavalry did not dare to directly attack the Ming army's infantry formation, and could only launch round after round of attacks on the cavalry on both wings of the infantry.

The Ming cavalry still used the old method.

If you can defeat them, fight them. If you can’t, retreat and hide behind the infantry.

The battlefield was filled with smoke and dust.

As it was getting dark, Dorgon had to order his troops to withdraw temporarily.

Countless Eight Banners soldiers on the battlefield began to retreat in an orderly manner.

"No pursuit, no shooting of arrows, no firing of guns, and no cannon fire!" Li Dingguo suddenly issued a very strange order.

After each unit waved its flags to indicate that they had received the order, Gao Wengui led two thousand cavalrymen wearing Jiannu armor and broke out from the Ming army's infantry formation.

Each of them rode three horses. After leaving the Ming army formation, they saw that there were no Jiannu troops in the northwest direction, so they immediately rushed there.

The dust kicked up by the horse's hooves is particularly conspicuous.

The Eight Banners soldiers on the battlefield are retreating in an orderly manner.

When they saw Gao Wengui, they thought he was a friendly force, so they just reported the news without paying much attention to it.

When the troops regrouped and prepared to retreat, a general came to Dorgon and pointed in the direction where Gao Wengui disappeared and said, "A group of Eight Banner soldiers disappeared in that direction. I wonder if it was under the order of the prince?"

"I have never issued such an order!" Dorgon spread his hands, and then his face immediately turned ugly: "Could it be... that they are deserters?"

The general blinked, not knowing how to answer.

"Go and find out whose subordinates those are!" Dorgon shouted anxiously.

The matter of desertion must be dealt with seriously, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

After each unit counted their troops as quickly as possible and reported the news, Dorgon said: There were indeed some casualties in each unit, but no one left the battlefield and no one deserted.

Dorgon looked in the direction where Gao Wengui disappeared: "In other words, that was a Ming army disguised as the Eight Banners Army?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"What a wise bullshit," Dorgon cursed, "We are still wise, but we are about to be outflanked by the Ming army!"

Lekedehun blinked and asked, "That cavalry has less than 2,000 people. Even if they go around to the rear of our army, what kind of waves can they cause?"

Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou both took a deep breath and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Li Dingguo wants to cut off our food supply!"
