Controlling the Second Banner Army made Chen Jin feel that he had no glory, and it also made him feel extremely pressured.

During these four days of combat command, Chen Jin exhausted all the cells in his head, but unfortunately, he still couldn't succeed.

This has already made Chen Jin's heart uneasy, and he keenly feels that there must be someone on the other side who can sacrifice his life to fight the Northern Expeditionary Army, which is definitely not something that General Yiwei can do.

However, Chen Jin had to continue to command the attack, because the four-day offensive had already caused nearly 2,000 casualties to the Banner Army (in the previous four days, the Northern Expeditionary Army had concealed itself in the trenches on the shore to block the attack, and did not take the initiative to pursue the defeated enemy for the purpose of repelling the enemy).

This number of casualties was absolutely intolerable for the Qing court after entering the customs.

Chen Jin could only desperately order an attack, wanting to break through Huai'an, make miraculous achievements, and make atonement for his crimes.

After it got dark yesterday and stopped the attack, Chen Jin had already collected thousands of bamboo rafts and rafts, and was waiting for today to launch a strong attack on the south bank.

But things are always unsatisfactory, in the early hours of this morning, more than 3,000 people were lost in the First World War, and none of them came back, Chen Jin's inner torment made him crazy.

In fact, at the same time that the second wave of Qing troops boarded the boat to cross the river, Chen Jin had already gathered a third wave of troops and was preparing to cross the river.

At this time, on the river, more than 200 ships of the Northern Expeditionary Army had collided with 5 or 600 boats of the Qing Army.

The soldiers on both sides fell into the water like dumplings, and at a glance, the river was full of water.

But soon, the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army began to attack the enemy in the water, without the need for weapons, in fact, the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army did not carry muskets at all, only with spear stabs, which is enough, and there is no need to even use spears, as long as they swim in the water, they will drag the enemy who falls into the water with both hands, hehe...... The enemy is not even left to fight back.

……。

Chen Jin's forehead dripped with bean-sized sweat and cold sweat.

Telescopes are a good thing, you can clearly zoom in and out of sight from miles away.

What can be seen is definitely not what Chen Jin wants to see.

Chen Jin knew at this time that he was finished, finished.

Before the more than 3,000 banner soldiers were wiped out, if these 5,000 people were folded in the river, then he would definitely die, Chen Jin even saw the scene of his own beheading and his family being punished.

This fear from the heart made Chen Jin make the most wrong decision - reinforcements.

Of course, it is not entirely accurate to say that it is reinforcements, because Chen Jin had already gathered thousands of bamboo rafts and rafts, and assembled 8,000 banner troops as the third wave of attack teams.

But the problem is that this is not the time, this kind of war situation, as a commander, you should break your arms to survive, at least, you should not let the army reinforce.

Because this is tantamount to sacrificing one's own strength, if Chen Jin does not order reinforcements, then today's battle will be over when the five thousand Qing troops in Jiangzhong are killed.

Wu Zheng had to accept it as soon as he saw it, and ordered to withdraw to the south bank, but he was not so arrogant as to order the soldiers who did not bring muskets to really go to hand-to-hand combat with the Tartars.

However, as Wu Zheng and Song An said, for the Qing court, the Eight Banners Army was too "precious", as long as the attacking enemy was blocked in the center of the river, the enemy on the other side had to send reinforcements, and the more it was blocked and delayed, the more fruitful the results would be.

In fact, when Wu Zheng changed his counterattack, the choice of the surface battlefield was doomed to the outcome of the battle.

In fact, this is also a variation of the tactic of "encircling the point and sending reinforcements", in which the enemy will be rescued by trapping the enemy with local superiority, and then in the process of the common "refueling tactics" of both sides, the results of the battle will gradually expand until the enemy is dragged down.

……。

On the water surface for more than ten miles, broken boats, wooden blocks and remnant sails are scattered, and there is no shortage of floating corpses among them.

From early morning to early afternoon, five hours of fierce fighting, this water surface swallowed the lives of more than 10,000 people.

Although it is impossible to count the many corpses that have gone with the flow, and there is no way to verify the exact casualty figures of both sides, one thing can be confirmed: when Chen Jin looked around and found that there were almost no more formed reinforcements to send, the fifth wave of ships on the river and in the direction of the south bank was setting off.

This was a one-sided battle, and it went so smoothly that even Wu Zheng, the initiator, was surprised.

The Tartars had the courage to fight the Northern Expeditionary Army face to face, and they did it and hoped for it, but as a result, they didn't even have the strength to fight back, and even at the moment of death, their enemy was no longer the Northern Expeditionary Army, but the vast river.

The casualties of the Northern Expeditionary Army were not small, but almost all of them were concentrated in the arrows of the Tartars when the ships approached, and the casualties caused by the collision of the ships.

Drowned, almost negligible.

This is a typical asymmetrical battle, just like the previous Tatar cavalry had an innate advantage over the musketeers of the Northern Expedition.

If Chen Jin can give full play to his military command talents, no, in fact, his military talents are not needed, as long as he can calmly judge the situation and analyze it, then this battle will stop there.

The Second Guard of the Northern Expeditionary Army won a great victory in this battle with almost more than 1 to 10 casualties, and then Wu Zheng ordered the withdrawal of troops and returned to the south bank.

At least, until the arrival of reinforcements from the First Army, there will be no trouble.

In fact, Wu Zheng had already ordered the army on the river to start cleaning the battlefield, collecting the remains of the wounded soldiers and the victims, and preparing to retreat.

However, at this time, Chen Jin gave an incredible order to the remnants of the Eight Banners Army-withdraw.

If it is said that the previous three reinforcements of the flag army on the river that were at a disadvantage were a mistake that a Han general could make, then ordering a retreat at this time was a very outrageous mistake, not only outrageous, but also really faint.

Dolgon handed over the command of Chen Jin's two banners, but because the two banners were stationed on the bank of more than 200 miles from the Qinghe River to Andong, Chen Jin could really mobilize more than 20,000 people, and the rest were controlled by each of them and Xiequan.

Although Chen Jin lost more than half of the banner army in this battle, compared with the entire north bank defense line, it only slightly revealed a small gap, and because of this, Wu Zheng did not have the intention of expanding the results of the battle indefinitely, and ordered the withdrawal of troops.

It's a pity that Chen Jin's heart was in turmoil at this time, his heart was full of fear, of course, his main source of fear was not the combat power of the Northern Expeditionary Army, but the obscenity of Dolgon, no Hanchen could lose tens of thousands of banner troops, not to mention his command mistakes, even if his command was correct, just by killing tens of thousands of banner troops in battle, this crime was enough to punish him for nine clans.

In other words, in the next time, no matter what Chen Jin does, he will inevitably die, the difference is how to die, when to die, and whether he can save his family.

Therefore, Chen Jin had such an incomprehensible order.

In fact, in Chen Jin's view, only by infinitely amplifying the enemy's strength and combat power can we prove that the defeat was not due to his incompetence.
