Ganglin said: "There shouldn't be anything wrong with the information of the King of Doro Qianxiang...... Perhaps it was Wu Zheng who shook a shot, and after seeing the king of the county, he immediately set off to board the boat by the river...... It should have been a long time ago that the sailors had gathered in the direction of Longtan, so that they could launch an attack on Jiangdu last night...... Lord, you can't fight anymore, Jinshanwei has been outflanked from the east to the Tunqi department, and the west Jiangdu has been occupied by the enemy again, and it will be fought again...... I am afraid that our army will not be able to take advantage of it in the slightest. ”

Dorgon gently stroked the map and muttered, "So...... The enemy's naval division has been transferred to the front line of Jiangdu and Taixing...... Xiao Nan was so good at his skills that he abandoned Jiangpu and took Jiangdu directly...... It's so courageous, even the king didn't expect it, let Ying Tianfu not guard, and the water diverter went east...... Let's talk about it, if there is any bad news, let's talk about it together. ”

Ganglin knelt down and cried: "Wu Zheng sent Wu Songshui to attack Dagukou ....... ”

"This king knows that the mere sailors are only harassing at most."

"But today's report is that the enemy naval division has landed and has occupied the Tianjin Garrison ......."

"What?" Dorgon's face finally changed.

"The imperial court rushed to Tianjin Wei with the Qian Qiaogong gun cavalry battalion in Dengzhou, but it was just ...... It is difficult to save the fire from far water, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with ....... Ganglin had to continue, "At dawn, the imperial court sent an envoy to pass the edict, ordering the prince to immediately stop the army and negotiate an armistice with the Yixing Dynasty!" ”

Dolgon raised his head and stared at the door, stunned for a long time, sat down on the couch in a dejected manner, and only after a while did he turn back and stare at Gang Lin and said: "The 240,000 army before and after, traveling thousands of miles...... How to talk about the strike at this time? What to talk about? ”

Ganglin was taken aback, and hurriedly comforted: "Although our army has suffered heavy casualties, the enemy's casualties are not less than ours, more than 100,000 troops of the Yixing Dynasty have suffered more than sixty percent casualties, and a Guogong died in battle, and even the Northern Expeditionary Army under Wu Zheng also suffered heavy casualties...... Lord Wang, we are not defeated! ”

Dolgon laughed miserably: "Nikan mistook me, what is the army of 180,000...... As soon as Yangzhou Mansion was lost, Wu Zheng had a springboard for the Northern Expedition, and the Yangtze River was dangerous, and there was no ...... to survive. ”

Speaking of this, Dolgon's face turned pale, "poof", a mouthful of blood burst out of his mouth like an arrow, and then he collapsed on the couch with a soft glare.

The change came too suddenly, making Ganglin completely confused.

Fortunately, the medical staff was already on the side before, so they hurried to the rescue.

……。

The smoke had not yet cleared, and several miles away, the enemy front was still intact.

It's just that in the distance of these miles, countless corpses are lying on their stomachs, showing how fierce the battle was last night.

Fang Guoan closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the morning air with the smell of gunpowder.

Then he slowly opened his eyes and said: "Fang Mou has been in Rong for decades, and this battle is the most hearty, and it is worth remembering when he is old." ”

Behind him, Lu Zhiyu sighed: "In all fairness, at first, I was really worried that the enemy army would be strong, and our army would be defeated in this battle, but in the battle last night, our army already had the strength to fight the enemy's Eight Banners head-on, but unfortunately, if it weren't for the night, our army's combat strength should be even stronger." ”

Fang Guoan nodded vigorously and said: "That's right, it seems that the prince's training methods and combat strategies are correct, and our army's bayonet skills are enough to curb the enemy's infantry in hand-to-hand combat." ”

"It's just that our army has also suffered heavy casualties, and it is no longer enough to launch a counterattack to the north." Lu Zhiyu sighed, "It's a pity, in fact, it doesn't take too much, and there is one more guard, the number of 10,000 people, you can get into Huai'an Mansion." ”

Fang Guoan shook his head and said: "Don't be careless, Fang always feels that the coach opposite is not an ordinary person, and if he goes deep alone, it is not beautiful." The order was given, and the whole army immediately withdrew to Taizhou City to hold on. ”

"Yes."

"Lu Zhiyu, if Chi Erhan dares to resist the order again this time, you have to stand on Fang's side!"

Lu Zhiyu smiled and said, "Lord Fang, don't worry, General Chi has already ordered to stop attacking ....... ”

"He's modified?" Fang Guoan asked in surprise.

"Last night there were equally heavy casualties." Lu Zhiyu sighed.

"Bastard! He Chi Erhan even sent the people to the battlefield? Fang Guoan said angrily.

Lu Zhiyu hurriedly shook his head and said, "Lord Fang misunderstood General Chi, General Chi did not send the people to the battlefield, but the people took the initiative to go to the battlefield to rescue the wounded of our army, and they couldn't stop it...... Lord Fang should also know that in the first battle last night, at least more than seventy percent of the wounded soldiers of our army were carried off the battlefield by the people...... It's a pity that the swords and arrows have no eyes, and the casualties of the people are quite large. ”

Fang Guoan nodded and said, "This kind of battle, Fang Mou is fighting for the first time...... It's comforting. At that time, Fang Mou saw that the people were so willing to save the wounded soldiers of our army, and he was thinking in his heart, even if he really died for them, he would not feel a loss! ”

"The lowly officials also think so, and the soldiers who want to come think so too...... Perhaps, this is the reason why our army can attack and fight head-on with the enemy's Eight Banners under unfavorable conditions in the dark night. ”

Fang Guoan waved his hand and said: "No matter what, our army is still at a disadvantage, this battle is indispensable, hurry up and withdraw to the city, in case the enemy army on the opposite side attacks again." ”

"Yes."

……。

After returning to the city, Fang Guoan, Lu Zhiyu and Chi Erhan happened to meet each other in front of the yamen.

Fang Guoan and Chi Erhan stared at each other with wide eyes, and no one stepped into the door.

"Chi Erhan, you are satisfied, our army suffered nearly 6,000 casualties, and in just one night, our army lost nearly 30%."

"Fang Guoan, but the city is defended, and the enemy's casualties are no less than our army."

"What do you mean, that you are justified in disobedience? Do you know that the enemy has 60,000 people, and if we fight for attrition, can our army afford to fight? ”

"Our army can't afford to fight." Ji Erhan nodded in agreement, "But does the enemy dare to organize another attack like this in the short term?" Fang Guoan, Chi is not stupid. ”

"You're ......!"

Lu Zhiyu hurriedly played a round and said, "Look at it, what is this for...... After all, our army won and defended, and the two adults faced each other outside the yamen, which made the people see it and think that our army was coaxing. ”

These words made Fang Guoan and Chi Erhan couldn't help but turn their heads to look around, then turned their heads, glared at each other, and walked towards the door in unison.

When they crossed the threshold, the two deliberately bumped each other's shoulders.

Let Lu Zhiyu behind him cry and laugh.

……。

Being a good person and doing good deeds can make people feel a sense of pride in their hearts for no reason.

This feeling is not diminished by the fact that what is being done is not known.

But it will be multiplied by being known.

That's the sense of honor.

Once an army has a sense of honor, many things no longer need orders.

The soldiers will do it spontaneously.

In particular, when people sacrifice for them, a virtuous circle is formed.

For example, at this time, the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army were spontaneously repairing houses destroyed by enemy artillery fire for the people.

And the people spontaneously did their best to care for the wounded.

It's not that difficult, for a soldier, an order is all it takes.

It's hard, it's willing!
