At this time, the sky has gradually brightened, and this tragedy has made the people who see it through the cracks in the surrounding houses hide their eyes one after another.

There are also fierce and strong soldiers who spontaneously pack up the lone Qing soldiers, but they are often counter-killed.

This bloody battle lasted for half an hour.

Until several streets were stained red with blood, sticky blood, and feet stepped on them to make a seeping "horn" sound.

In half an hour, more than 5,000 Jingwei were gone.

However, it was this half an hour that allowed Xia Wanchun's Jianyangwei to successfully cross the river, and by the way, Xia Wanchun also temporarily "abducted" the 3,000 forbidden troops used by the imperial court to block the people.

At this time, after half an hour of tragic hand-to-hand combat, the Qing army had reached the end of the crossbow.

Facing the oncoming Jianyang Guard, they struggled to meet the battle.

When Xia Wanchun saw Qianhu surnamed Huang on the street, Qianhu surnamed Huang was stabbed several times, one arm was gone, and the blood red the military uniform on his body.

When Xia Wanchun lifted his head, the eyes of Qianhu surnamed Huang had already begun to drift, and he shouted: "Humble duty...... Is it a loyal minister? ”

Xia Wanchun nodded vigorously and said loudly: "Yes!" ”

"Then the lowly office is ...... Feel relieved...... Finish! ”

Xia Wanchun covered his still open eyes for him, and sighed: "I knew today, why bother in the first place?!" ”

More than 10,000 Ming troops attacked a Qing army with more than forty percent casualties and was exhausted, and the result can be imagined.

Xia Wanchun's troops swept the caves with the momentum of ploughing the court and repelling the Qing army, which had more than 8,000 people when they entered the city.

When the Qing army was driven out of Jinchuanmen, there were less than 2,000 men left.

And when Jianyangwei resealed the Jinchuan Gate, another Qing army of about 6,000 people transferred by Nikan arrived just outside the city.

It's dangerous and dangerous!

……。

Taixing City.

At the beginning of the day, after a night's rest, Wu Zheng ordered to go north to recover Taizhou.

However, less than fifty miles out of the city, he met Chi Erhan's Hangzhou Wei head-on.

Only then did Wu Zheng know that he had missed an opportunity to annihilate Khalchuhun.

After being stunned for a while, Wu Zheng yelled at Chi Erhan: "You kid can't attack earlier?" ”

This is so unreasonable.

Chi Er said in a sullen voice: "I didn't know that the young master would personally lead the musket battalion to come...... Besides, there are tens of thousands of people in Khalchuhun, and the people of Hangzhou Wei Yiwei can't eat it. ”

Wu Zheng quickly changed his words and scolded: "Didn't I tell you to attack Taizhou? You kid went south without permission, and you still dare to be stubborn? ”

Chi Erhan was scolded so hard to speak.

Wu Zheng glared angrily and said: "Give you a chance, immediately lead Hangzhou Wei to occupy Xixi Town in the northwest, and block Karchuhun from fleeing north, the speed must be fast." ”

Chi Erhan hurriedly responded.

Wu Zheng turned his head and asked Jiang Quanyi: "Your troops are going east to Huangqiao Town, just hold it to prevent Khalchuhun from going south." ”

"Yes."

Turning to Song An, "You take 5,000 musketeers and approach in the direction of Rugao, if you encounter the Kharchu Hun Division, you can lead it to Xixi Town, or you can lead it to the direction of Baipu Town in the south, the Lu Zhiyu Department has already occupied Baipu Town." ”

"Yes."

Wu Zheng himself led 3,000 musketeers and continued to advance towards Taizhou.

With Chi Erhan's department in the north as the anvil, and the Lu Zhiyu department in the south, Jiang Quanyi's department advanced and lured the enemy, and used himself to pinch Taizhou, which led to Jiangdu.

This is like weaving a net of heaven and earth, which has firmly covered the Khalchuhun, and Khalchuhun has only one possibility of detachment, that is, he has the foresight to go directly to the sea, collect the sea ships to go to sea, and go north by sea, so that he can have a chance to get out of the encirclement.

But the question is, can Karchuhun have the determination to disobey Dorgon's orders?

……。

Taizhou City, there is no longer any Qing army garrisoned.

Originally, it was composed of 600 people, but after the rout brought the "bad news" that the Khalchuhun tribe was defeated in two battles, these Ming people who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty swept away the treasury and money of Taizhou City, and they fled without a trace.

And the people of Taizhou City have already eaten pot pulp and welcomed their children and soldiers.

Soldiers, it's not an exaggeration.

A few years ago, Wu Zheng also attacked Taizhou, but due to the situation, he had to negotiate peace with Dolgon, and then withdrew from Taizhou.

At that time, an old man in Taizhou City, with hundreds of people, toasted Wu Zheng with a bowl of yellow soup, which made Wu Zheng's memory still fresh.

The people of Taizhou presented thousands of their sons and nephews to Wu Zheng, and now many of the musketeers under Wu Zheng's command are Taizhou children.

Therefore, when they heard of the arrival of the Northern Expeditionary Army, they almost went from house to house, pouring out of the city to welcome their relatives.

An old man stepped forward, and he choked back tears, "The general is a believer! Less than a year later, Wang Shi returned to Taizhou City...... Dare to ask the general, are you still leaving this time? ”

"General, are you still leaving this time?" Tens of thousands of people asked aloud.

How much anticipation and how much suffering is involved!

Wu Zheng really hesitated, he really didn't know that this war was not in the plan, but completely out of control.

Originally, it was just a retaliatory battle of the Qing army, and the Ming army was only defensive, at most it was only active defense.

But now, when Dorgon put on such an unrelenting and resolute posture, the war is running more and more towards a decisive battle.

The problem is that Wu Zheng is not ready.

For this war, the military workshop rushed for almost four months to equip 8,000 musketeers.

Yesterday's First World War shelling knocked out nearly 30 percent of the small artillery shells in stock.

No food or material supplies have been prepared.

How to answer?

Wu Zheng's silence made the people sigh for a while.

The old man pursed his mouth with all his teeth, wiped his tears, turned his head and said to the villagers: "What is there to cry about, Wang Shi attacked Taizhou twice in a year, and there will be three or four times in the future, and the day of real recovery is not far away!" ”

Speaking of this, the old man turned his head and looked at Wu Zheng with almost begging eyes, "General, is it right?" ”

Wu Zheng's heart was pinched fiercely, and there was a burst of sourness, so that Wu Zheng had to lower his head, raise his hands, and wipe his eyes to hide his loss of control.

"That's not right!" Wu Zheng raised his head violently and said loudly.

The old man was struck by lightning, and said, "Could it be ...... Isn't the king no longer on the Northern Expedition? Will Jiangbei be reduced to alien land from now on? ”

"That's not right!" Wu Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Because, this time, we won't leave!" Even if you die in Taizhou, the Northern Expeditionary Army will not leave! ”

As soon as these words came out, after a brief silence, the earth-shattering cheers rang out.

There are people, soldiers, countless people are excited, parents are looking for their children, their own fathers and mothers, and then hugging each other.

This kind of enthusiasm infected everyone, and the soldiers who were not from Taizhou watched with envy.

And at this time, countless people flocked to these soldiers, and they warmly embraced.

Yes, maybe they don't know each other, but at this time, they are all relatives, because they have a common name, called Han people.

Wu Zheng did not give the order to stop the chaos of this group.
