War process

The battle of Beijing

On November 19, yuan Chonghuan and his nine thousand cavalry arrived at the foot of the capital before Huang Taiji. The next day, the battle to defend the capital began.

The first battle of Jingmen began outside Desheng Gate. The Ming army outside the city was mainly the king's army of Datong general Mangui and Xuanfu general Hou Shilu. In addition, the garrison in the city took part in the battle.

The battle of Deshengmen: on November 20, Huang Taiji led the big beldai Shan, belji'erharang, Yue Tuo, Du Du, sahalian, etc. to command the four right-wing banners of Manchuria, as well as the right-wing Mongolian soldiers, and launched a fierce attack on the troops of Manchuria, Guangxi and Hou Shilu. Later, the Jin army fired first. At the end of firing, the Mongolian soldiers and the red flag guards attacked from the west, while the yellow flag guards charged from the side. Later, the two armies of Jin Dynasty rushed into the city. They fought and fought to reach the bottom of the city. In the city, the Ming army bent its bow bravely and fired artillery to bombard the enemy. Before long, Hou Shilu's army collapsed, and man GUI led his army to fight alone. The Ming soldiers in the city cooperated with each other in firing guns, but they accidentally injured the officers and soldiers in Manchuria and Guangxi, and suffered heavy casualties. Man GUI was wounded in many places and took more than 100 defeated soldiers to rest in Guandi temple outside the city. The next day, the garrison opened the urn of Desheng Gate for the rest of the remnant soldiers. On the same day of the battle of Deshengmen, there was a fierce battle in Guangqumen.

On the day of the battle of Guangqumen, manggurtai led four Manchurian left-wing banners and two thousand Mongolian soldiers to attack yuan Chonghuan's army. At this time, yuan Chonghuan and Zu dashou, the chief soldier of Jinzhou, led nine thousand to pass outside Shawo gate of ningtieqitun. In the battle of Guangqumen, nine thousand guanning cavalry fought bloody battles with tens of thousands of eight banners and Mongolian soldiers. From 10 o'clock to 18 o'clock, the artillery fired, fought fiercely for eight hours and moved to fight for more than 10 Li. During the battle, an enemy attacked yuan Chonghuan with a knife. He was close to a talented official. Yuan Gao was separated by a knife rest, and the blade was folded. Mang GUR Tai's arrows are like rain. Yuan Chonghuan has several arrows in his body. His two ribs are like hedgehogs, and his armor is hard to penetrate. Because yuan Chonghuan took the lead and fought hard, Guan Ning's cavalry fought hard, and manggur Thai army was defeated. Yuan Chonghuan's guerrillas, Liu Yingguo, Luo Jingrong, Qian Zong, Dou Jun, etc., chased the enemy to the canal. The enemy troops rushed to cross the river, and the ice fell, and countless people were submerged. In this battle, Guan Ning's cavalry killed thousands of enemies, and the three powerful forces of the Qing army, abatai, azige and siger, were defeated. Guan Ning soldiers also suffered hundreds of casualties.

The outcome of the war

After the battle, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty called a meeting to review it. Abatai, the seventh brother of Huangtaiji, was to cut the rank according to the military law. Huang Taiji said: "abatai and his two sons lost each other in the battle. In order to save his son, he did not fight according to the scheduled plan. However, he was not timid. How can I convict my brother? " He was forgiven. It can be seen that the Qing army was badly defeated in this battle.

On November 20, yuan Chonghuan used the local leader Ren shouzhongce to sneak into Haizi with 500 artillery men. He was away from the camp of Huangtaiji and attacked in all directions. The army of Huangtaiji was in chaos and moved out of Haizi.
