The Ming army began to clean up the battlefield and count their losses.
Now the Ming army was no longer in a hurry to attack. After this victory, the Jiannu no longer had the ability to resist and could no longer defend the Jianning Three Guards. The entire Dongning Guard and the Jianning Three Guards were completely surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
As for whether to continue the attack, we still have to wait for His Majesty's order. Even Sun Chuanting knew that the possibility of continuing the attack was not very high.
The best way is to build a city here and guard it on the spot.
After this battle, the Jiannu were greatly weakened, their route to the west was blocked, and they could no longer cause trouble.
Glancing at Lu Xiangsheng beside him, Sun Chuanting said directly, "Send a victory report immediately and report back to His Majesty. Let His Majesty know that we have won this battle and recaptured the Dongning Guard and the three Jianning Guards!"
"Yes, Marshal!" Lu Xiangsheng said with a big laugh.
After winning this battle, the record was instantly reversed and the situation became better.
These people had also made great contributions, so they would definitely receive generous rewards, perhaps even knighthood. The entire army was jubilant.
Soon, the battle damage was counted.
More than 400 of the royal army were killed, more than 700 were seriously injured, more than 1,600 were slightly injured, and more than 1,200 were killed in the battle. The remaining people still maintained full combat effectiveness.
This made Sun Chuanting breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time he understood that the battle was over.
After taking over Dongningwei, it would be enough to rely on these people to defend Dongningwei without moving forward. If the battle line is stretched too long, the gains will outweigh the losses, so Sun Chuanting will not move forward.
At this time, Huang Taiji was sitting on his horse with a very ugly expression on his face.
This defeat was truly too great! After arriving at Dongningwei and confirming that there were no pursuers, Huang Taiji and his men stopped and began to gather the defeated troops.
When all the troops were gathered together and no more scattered soldiers returned, Huang Taiji's face became very ugly.
In a whole day, he only gathered more than 11,000 people, and most of them were injured. The most important thing is that the morale is very low, and there is no confidence to fight the Ming Dynasty again.
Daishan walked up to Huang Taiji and said directly, "Great Khan, we can't stay here any longer."
Huang Taiji didn't speak for a long time.
Huang Taiji also knew that he could not hold this place. With the troops he had now, there was no hope of confronting the Ming army head-on here. He could not win and could only retreat.
If the Ming army continued to advance, taking advantage of this to stretch them out and launch a surprise attack on their food supplies, perhaps the Jurchens still had hope.
"We can no longer hold the Tieling and Qinghe lines." Daishan looked at Huang Taiji and continued, "We can no longer waste men in Tieling and Qinghe. We should withdraw the troops there and concentrate our forces."
Huang Taiji understood that he had to concentrate his forces to preserve his territory, otherwise he would be easily defeated one by one.
Huang Taiji nodded and said to Daishan, "Send someone immediately to pass on the order and have them withdraw from Tieling and Qinghe."
After saying this, Huang Taiji looked up at Daishan and asked directly, "Have Manggurtai and Dudu returned?"
These two were the leaders of the first wave of attack. Daishan and Huang Taiji saw how miserable they were at that time.
Huang Taiji asked this now, but it was just because he had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Huang Taiji hoped that they were not dead, and hoped that they would come back.
But seeing Daishan's expression, Huang Taiji's expression became even uglier. Obviously, this hope has been shattered.
Daishan didn't say anything, nor did he have anything to say.
Manggurtai and Dudu were already dead, their bodies hadn't even been recovered, or rather, their bodies hadn't even been taken care of. Even if they weren't dead, they would have fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty by now.
"Gather your men and retreat." Huang Taiji looked at Daishan, stood up and said, "If we wait any longer, the Ming army will arrive."
And in Shanhaiguan.
Zhu Youxiao was waiting anxiously, and he was extremely worried.
If we win this battle, everything will be fine; if we lose, the situation will deteriorate, and the most important thing is that it will affect our reputation, which is not a good thing.
Zhu Youxiao will have to carry out reforms next, and if he loses, it will be very troublesome.
So Zhu Youxiao was also a little anxious. Even though he had confidence in Sun Chuanting, he couldn't remain calm at this time.
At this moment, there was suddenly chaos outside.
"Good news!"
Zhu Youxiao vaguely heard someone shouting something in the distance, but he couldn't make it out clearly.
"Good news!"
After Zhu Youxiao carefully confirmed that it was good news, he sat directly on the dragon throne with a look of relief.
Wei Chao ran in from outside, his face full of excitement. He felt like he was about to fly and even lost his shoes.
Although there is an element of acting in this, it can also be seen that it is a real surprise.
After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Wei Chao knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Lord Sun Chuanting has won a great victory! This is the victory report!"
As he spoke, Wei Chao knelt on the ground, crawled on his knees to Zhu Youxiao, and held up Sun Chuanting's victory report in front of Zhu Youxiao with both hands.
Reaching out to take the victory report, Zhu Youxiao quickly glanced through it, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
More than 400 people died in the battle and 20,000 enemies were killed. Such an achievement is simply unprecedented in history!
My idea was right. Such an army is absolutely invincible in the world!
Equipped with rocket launchers, artillery, flintlock rifles, and hand-cranked rotary machine guns, before the emergence of metal fixed ammunition, this was the pinnacle of firearms troops!
