Now everyone has noticed the huge changes in the situation on the battlefield, Zuo Mengeng's judgment just now is completely correct, a sudden army, that is, the army of Zhou Zhisheng of Beigubo, is besieging the camp of Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu brothers with all its might, and now there are guns, fights, and roars one after another, and Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianlu's camp is constantly being attacked like a tide.

For the Yue Ming army, attacking the Zhang brothers is not the best choice, their camp front is not easy to expand and easy to defend and difficult to attack, under normal circumstances, the Yue Ming army will definitely choose other fortresses that are easier to attack to attack, but it may be due to the actions of Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu that have aroused the anger of the people, and now countless Yue Ming troops are besieging Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu with all their might.

Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu brothers' soldiers and horses also suffered heavy losses in the battle of Huai'an before, although they temporarily coerced a lot of wandering soldiers to disperse, but the veterans in the team had already lost nearly half, and now the Yue Ming army has concentrated two or even three times the strength to besiege Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu brothers, and the situation is naturally overwhelming.

Zhang Tianlu personally watched several camps directly broken by the Yue Ming army, and although many remnants of the broken camps escaped, more generals became prisoners of the Yue Ming army, and with the more and more fierce offensive of the Yue Ming army, his troops were about to be unable to hold on.

But now Zuo Mengeng still continues to say cool words: "No one is allowed to withdraw now, I'm really embarrassed, General Zhang!" ”

Zhang Tianlu was angry, but he and Zuo Mengeng were actually at the same level, and he had no right to mobilize Zuo Menggeng's soldiers and horses, so he could only hope with Zuo Mengeng and Dong Yuan: "General Zuo, General Dong, the brother's battalion is about to hold on, everyone is working hard for the Qing Dynasty and must support each other!" ”

It's just that Zuo Mengeng didn't give face at all: "The request of the regent and General Zhang is that no one is allowed to withdraw, especially General Zhang, you have to set an example and not be allowed to withdraw!" General Zhang, please rest assured, I will immediately return to the camp and let the soldiers defend the left flank of Zhang's camp to ensure that nothing goes wrong! ”

Although Dong Yuan is a Jurchen, he can't say much when he encounters this situation, after all, the current situation can be said to be terrible, and it is impossible for him to sacrifice himself to cover the Zhang brothers.

Everything is just like Zhou Zhisheng's pre-war analysis, although the Qing army under Huai'an City has almost 20,000 people, but these troops are the Han army and the Han army Eight Banners after all, and the will to fight is not as good as the Manmeng Eight Banners, and the fight is even more exhausting now, after defeating the Zhang brothers, the rest of the Qing army is terrified and has no will to fight, even Dong Yuan, a Jurchen, retreated, and Geng Jimao said: "Everyone go back to their own camps, but no one is allowed to withdraw!" ”

It's just that Geng Jimao's sentence "no one is allowed to withdraw" is actually a bit redundant, although on the surface "no one is allowed to withdraw", but in fact it is "take advantage of the backing of Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu brothers, everyone hurry up!" ”

After all, the Qing army and Wang Zhiren and Zhang Huangyan were only tied before, and now Zhou Zhisheng suddenly led 8,000 elites into the battlefield overwhelmingly, and the soldiers and horses of Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu brothers were already powerless, so everyone could only try to save some strength, even Dong Yuan, a Jurchen, had the same idea.

It's just that this can make Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu brothers miserable: "Brothers, since we are friends in trouble, we must support each other, and we can't let me bear the offensive of Jinhua thieves alone!" ”

But Geng Jimao said without hesitation: "Then it must be to support each other, brother, I will go back to the camp to transfer troops to rescue Brother Zhang!" ”

It's just that he has no fear now, so he went out of the camp and went back: "Let the brothers quickly withdraw with me, if you don't withdraw, I'm afraid you won't be able to withdraw!" ”

The reason why Geng Jimao dared to do this was naturally because of the miraculous feats of his father Geng Zhongming who died in Jiangnan, as long as he could escape back to the Great Qing Kingdom with his troops, he would have to continue to reuse him.

And Dong Yuan also found that time was running out, now Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu, the two brothers and sisters, were still resisting with all their might, and the soldiers of the Yue Ming army had not yet descended on him for the time being, but it was only a matter of time before Zhou Zhisheng solved the Zhang brothers, and no matter what he did, he could not save the defeat.

Therefore, he also followed Geng Jimao and said loudly: "Brothers, also go back to the camp to transfer troops, two generals Zhang, please rest assured, I will report everything to the regent today, and the regent will not blame us!" ”

It's just that Dong Yuan said "return to the camp to transfer troops", but in fact, he hurriedly retreated north with his soldiers and horses, and walked faster than Zuo Mengeng, usually he is responsible for monitoring Zuo Menggeng's department, so he is almost inseparable from Zuo Mengeng, but now that the catastrophe is coming, Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu brothers can not support it for long, and the collapse of the Qing army near Huai'an Mansion is also close at hand.

He even forgot to inform Zuo Mengeng when he left, and Zuo Mengeng didn't expect Dong Yuan to run so fast: "It's still a comfortable life in the Eight Banners of Manchuria, you can run and withdraw if you want to, anyway, the Qing Dynasty will not hold him responsible, think I really don't know that he is Manchurian Tong Yangjia?" My father died so mysteriously last year, maybe he was the murderer! ”

Although Tong Yangjia's secrecy kung fu is very homely, he is an unspeakable Eight Banners pro-noble after all, and has repeatedly made exceptions, and even showed his special identity at the wine table, so there are always some rumors that have reached Zuo Mengeng's ears, and the recent setbacks in the war have made many Zuo Liangyu move closer to Zuo Mengeng, so Zuo Mengeng finally knew that Dong Yuan was Tong Yangjia two days ago, and Tong Yangjia was Dong Yuan.

And now Zuo Mengeng is full of strange words, and the generals around him have reminded him: "General, be cautious, be cautious, if this word reaches the ears of the prince Bei Jiale, I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause!" ”

Although Zuo Mengeng's Niu Lu was mainly compiled by Zuo Liangyu's old department, and most of them were high-level generals and their cronies under Zuo Liangyu's command, but the Eight Banners deliberately used the strategy of mixing sand, not only did the Han army outside Zuo Liangyu's old department be incorporated into Niu Lu, but also deliberately sent a lot of spies and the old Han army before entering the customs in.

If it weren't for the fact that Zuo Menggeng's troops and Zhang Huangyan were broken in the first battle of Huai'an, I'm afraid that the generals around Zuo Mengeng would have spoken even more ugly.

But it is precisely because Zuo Mengeng's subordinates have suffered heavy losses and low morale, and now that the Qing army is close to collapse on the whole front, and they are panicked and do not choose a way, so some people around Zuo Mengeng will tolerate his strange words, at most they will only give a reminder.

But Zuo Mengeng didn't listen to dissuasion at all: "That's right, if this word reaches the ears of the regent and the princes, and Baylor, it will naturally cause a catastrophe, but last year, Prince Yu and Prince Su's southern expedition was almost completely wiped out, and there were only a few thousand people who crossed the Jiangbei with 170,000 elites, and most of the regents' southern expedition this year will have the same ending, so how can you princes and Baylor be in the mood to deal with me at that time!" ”

Zuo Mengeng is alarmist, so someone immediately persuaded: "General, be cautious, although the situation in Huai'an Mansion is irreparable, but the situation is not as bad as you said, the regent has estimated that Zhou Zhisheng's reinforcements are at most 8,000 people, and he and the princes and Baylor have already arranged reinforcements in the north, which can definitely cope with it, and now Zhou Zhisheng's reinforcements should be 8,000 people!" ”

Facts have proved that the princes, including Dolgon, and Baylor are still apprehensive about the fiasco of Duoduo and Hauge in Jiangnan last year, although the wind is calm on the surface, they still transferred a number of Niulu and camp heads in the direction of Fengyang and Huai'an Mansion, and according to the internal judgment of the Qing army, it is enough to deal with Zhou Zhisheng's offensive.

But Zuo Mengeng sneered: "After Zhou Zhisheng joins Wang Zhiren and Zhang Huangyan, there will be more than 8,000 people, and even if Wang Zhiren and Zhang Huangyan suffer heavy casualties and not move a single soldier, there is still a huge and surprising variable in this southern expedition!" ”

As soon as Zuo Mengeng said this, these generals around him were very curious, and someone immediately asked: "What other huge and amazing variables are there?" ”

Zuo Mengeng laughed: "Naturally, it is Benhou Zuo Mengeng, the regent himself said that as long as Zhou Zhisheng's reinforcements do not exceed 8,000 people, his deployment will be absolutely foolproof, but what will happen to Zhou Zhisheng's 8,000 people plus 30 Niu Lu's armor soldiers!" ”

Zuo Mengeng's so-called "Thirty Niu Lu's Armor Soldiers" is completely nonsense, Zuo Mengeng and Dong Yuan's soldiers and horses together have the so-called Thirty Niu Lu, among which there are only fifteen Niu Lu who are really subordinate to Zuo Mengeng, not to mention that Zuo Mengeng's department has suffered heavy losses in the previous battle.

But the movements of Zuo Mengeng's department are indeed far-reaching, as he said, even if Wang Zhiren and Zhang Huangyan do not send a single soldier, just Zuo Mengeng's fifteen Niu Lu to the Ming army is enough to make all the careful deployments of Dolgon go to the water, not to mention that Wang Zhiren and Zhang Huangyan can mobilize at least a few thousand soldiers.

None of the generals around Zuo Mengeng would make such a judgment as Xiao Ning Nanhou, so these generals were a little dumbfounded, but someone immediately said: "General, you are right, although the Qing Kingdom will definitely lose this southern expedition, let's work for the Chengtian Dynasty!" ”

And Zuo Mengeng immediately sneered: "Yes, we might as well work for the Chengtian Dynasty, if anyone wants to continue to be loyal to the Great Qing Kingdom, it is my gift to His Majesty the Chengtian Emperor!" ”

As long as anyone dares to disobey Zuo Mengeng's intentions, they will be executed on the spot, and these Qing generals present feel that Zuo Mengeng does have some truth in what he said, since the Qing army's southern expedition is a complete defeat again, it is a better choice to work for the Chengtian Dynasty no matter what aspect it takes.

Even those old Han soldiers who joined the Qing State outside the customs felt that Zuo Mengeng was right, although they wanted to work for the Qing Kingdom because of one factor or another, but since the situation has reached this point, they have to be more interesting.
