That scene made the initiator Wu Zheng not only feel a little compassionate.

He Luo will not die, not because he is afraid of death, but because the battle is over...... It's so fast!

It was so fast that he couldn't react.

"It's not a fight, it's a massacre!"

When Wu Zheng slowly walked towards him, He Luo would suddenly roar viciously.

"You're right." Wu Zheng affirmed, "I remember that in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the Ming army used Hongyi cannons and flowering shells to set fire, killing more than 17,000 Nurhachi and his cavalry, which can be called a massacre. Six years ago, the Manchu Qing Dynasty used more than 60 heavenly blessings to cheer the generals, and in the Battle of Songjin, the Ming army broke the two cities of Tashan and Xingshan, and countless soldiers and civilians died in artillery fire, which was also a massacre. Two years ago, the Qing army mobilized dozens of red-coated cannons to bombard Yangzhou City, killing tens of thousands of people. Why do you accuse Bengong of massacre today, if you win this battle, you will let go of the Ming army behind me? ”

He Luohui suddenly attacked, shouted and rushed towards Wu Zheng who was ten steps away with a knife, and more than a dozen guards behind him rushed behind him.

Wu Zheng shook his head slightly, a hint of sarcasm appeared from the corner of his mouth, and the spearmen of the Ming army rushed up behind him.

After a loud roar, more than a dozen Qing soldiers were pierced into blood gourds by spears and pushed into the air.

Only He Luo was held to the neck by several blades and pressed to the ground.

Wu Zheng stepped forward, stood in front of him and said, "My father's subordinates never leave Tartars alive, but today I can make an exception to give you a way to live and take me into the city." ”

"Phew!" He Luo would spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, but unfortunately he was pressed head-down, and the bloody phlegm was only spit out a foot in front of Wu Zheng's feet, "Nanban doesn't have to be verbose, if you want to kill, you will kill!" ”

Wu Zheng laughed, waved his hand, and the Ming soldiers put away their guns.

He Luohui got up suspiciously, and when he saw that Wu Zheng had turned to leave, he looked at it in a daze, and then suddenly turned around and ran away like crazy.

Behind him, countless muskets were raised at the same time.

After the violent sound of "tom tom tom tom tom ......", He Luohui, who was running, fell to the ground like a broken sack.

"Owl head." Wu Zheng's face was expressionless, and he said in a deep voice.

The defenders of Dantu City, which numbered less than 1,000 people, lost their will to fight after hearing about the "massacre" thirty miles away.

When the soldiers of the Ming army threw the head of He Luohui into the dilapidated city wall of Dantu, which had changed hands several times, the morale of the Qing defenders suddenly collapsed, and they immediately abandoned the city and fled north.

But the Ming army had already bitten at this time, and shot most of the Qing troops on the riverbank, and the blood stained the entire river beach.

The Qing army that fled back to Jiangxin Island was less than 100 people.

……。

At this time, Hong Chengchou's order to shrink his forces and defend the defense had just arrived at Tan Tai on Jiangxin Island.

Now that it's come to this, is it still useful? Tan Tai crumpled the order into a ball and threw it into the brazier beside him.

He turned around and ordered, "The general will order that all the troops in Jiangbei return to Jiangxin Island without the slightest delay." ”

After all, Tan Tai is a battlefield general, and his mind is very clear.

Although the Dantu army was defeated, it could not hurt the muscles and bones of the Qing army, and the danger was that the Dantu was lost, and Zhenjiang City became a lonely city, and tens of thousands of Qing troops in the city would repeat the previous scene and be surrounded by the Ming army.

In the face of the siege of tens of thousands of Qing troops, the Qing court had to continue to send additional troops to delay the breath of the Qing army in Zhenjiang City, and the consequence was that the huge figures and material resources of the Qing court were contained on the other side.

This is extremely unfavorable to the situation of erosion in Shaanxi, Gansu, and Gansu.

Breaking his arm to survive and make amends, Tan Tai made this decision.

After a day, the wind is fused.

Hong Chengchou was furious when he heard that Tan Tai had resisted his order and withdrew his troops without authorization.

But he has no power to deal with a general who conquers the south, so he can only go to the imperial court, but this is not a matter of one or two days.

Faced with Tan Tai and Wu Sangui's different perfunctory and disobedient orders, Hong Chengchou felt like he would be locked in a cage.

He looked up at the sky outside the window and exclaimed sadly: "The first emperor is in the spirit of heaven...... If I don't do things well, I can't do it! ”

……。

The Qing court was in a turmoil at this time, and they didn't know that in a day, the entire battle situation in Jiangnan had changed.

They were arguing about whether the 80,000 Qing troops in Xuzhou should go south.

After all, this is a major event that changes the entire strategic layout.

Dolgon absolutely did not agree to the use of the Qing army in Xuzhou.

In fact, this is the last Eight Banners Army of the Qing court in addition to the Beijing army, if this army is used, the Shaanxi-Gansu Rebellion will corrode to the surrounding provinces, and then it will not be a three-sided battle, but a beacon fire everywhere.

This was Dolgon's reasoning.

According to Fan Wencheng and others, as long as the 80,000 troops go south, they can extinguish the Qingtai Dynasty, and as long as they act quickly, they can see immediate results, and then the army can be transferred directly from Yingtianfu along the river to the northwest, although it will delay for ten days and a half months, but it will not make the situation in the northwest incorrigible.

The arguments between the two sides were in full swing, and the final focus was on one point.

That is, if the 80,000 army goes south, can it extinguish the Qingtai Dynasty in a short time.

As a result, strife resumed, and each expressed his own opinion endlessly.

The next day, when the Ming army broke into Yizhen again, the Dantu were lost, and the news came that Zhenghuang Qigushan Ezhen He Luo would be killed.

Above the court, there was silence.

The Qingtai Dynasty made the Qing court lose two solid mountains and Ezhen?

The so-called common enemy, the little emperor Shunzhi immediately issued an edict, ordering the 80,000 troops of Xuzhou to quickly go south, and ordered Hong Chengchou to be the governor of the north bank of the war, be sure to annihilate the Ming army on the north bank, and recapture the Dantu, and attack the entire territory of Zhenjiang Prefecture.

At the same time, Jierharang was ordered to take over Tan Tai's position, and Wu Sangui and Tan Tan were ordered to return to Beijing to report on their work.

Dolgon did not object, the defeat of the Qing army and the death of He Luohui made him lose the bargaining chip to suppress Hong Chengchou, and Dolgon also believed that this arrow revenge must be avenged, otherwise what would be the face of the Qing court?

It is also strange to say that the defeat of Jiangnan made the Qing court unite and temporarily formed a unanimous external situation.

But how long can this last?

I'm afraid only God knows.

At this time, Wu Zheng naturally didn't know that he had fallen into a "big disaster".

Wu Zheng, who "easily" recovered the Dantu, ran to the head of the north city wall as soon as possible, and was relieved to see that although many of the sixteen artillery pieces had been unloaded, they were still there.

In fact, Wu Zheng thought a lot, the purpose of the Qing army's attack on Zhenjiang and Dantu was to occupy, not plunder.

The capture of these artillery pieces did not mean that the Qing army had any intention of transporting them to the north bank.

Of course, it is necessary to set the muzzle pointing of the artillery and redeploy it to the southern city, but they have not had time to carry it, so they have no time to carry it.

This almost undamaged battle made Wu Zheng full of confidence.

After a simple repair, Wu Zheng mobilized the people to transport the artillery of the nine gates of the northern city that had been unloaded by the Qing army down the city wall.

The next day, before it was fully dawn, the army went out of the west gate and marched to Zhenjiang City.
