Although Hauge did not know that Dolgon shouted "Prince Su misunderstood me" in Fengyang, and he was definitely not as many as Duoduo when he was attacked by the Yue Ming army, the impact of the Battle of Nanjing was even more far-reaching, he led 29,000 people to the south, but finally succeeded in crossing the river and receiving only 1,000 people for Hauge.

Although Haoge has tried his best to use all resources and methods to recover his vitality in the past six months, and even transferred people from his own private internal cattle record to supplement the public middle school cattle record, but this southern expedition almost knocked Haoge back to its original form.

This battle of Xuzhou has always been carried out by Duoduo and Haoge's troops as the forwards, so the loss of the two departments has been close to one-third, but in the past, Dolgon personally forcibly suppressed Duoduo and Haoge in Xuzhou, so this pair of uncles and nephews did not dare to make any small calculations.

But since Dolgon went to Fengyang, the new and old hatreds in Haoge's heart are burning, you must know that he is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and it was not because Dolgon and the two yellow flags stood up to make trouble that he was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, so Haoge did not hesitate to withdraw his men and horses to make up for it and wait and see whether it would be successful or not.

It's just that Haoge just didn't expect the situation to change so dramatically, the main force of the Jinhua thieves did not appear in the direction of Fengyang as everyone expected, but appeared in the direction of Huai'an Mansion, and as soon as he struck, it was a devastating blow to the Zhulu Han army under Huai'an City, and even the Eight Banners Army in the direction of Muyang and Pizhou fell into a bitter battle, so he found Duoduo without hesitation: "King Yu, let's withdraw quickly, otherwise it will be the second battle of Nanjing!" ”

Duoduo is already a little accustomed to being constantly attacked by the Yue Ming army: "King Su, you have to be calm in everything, only when you are calm can you do great things, although this time the Jinhua thief is menacing, but since Liu Yongxi, the little thief, is not in the army, we naturally have a chance to run out!" ”

Hauge was also taken aback by Duoduo in front, and always felt that Duoduo was going to run out to fight with the Yue Ming army in an attempt to turn the tide, but when he heard Duoduo say, "We naturally have a chance to run out", he was really relieved and said: "Uncle Fifteen, we are heroes who see the same thing, we must seize the opportunity to withdraw quickly, if we don't leave, I'm afraid there will be no chance!" ”

In fact, Haoge and Duoduo still don't know how many troops the Ming army has invested, only know that Huai'an Mansion came to the aid of Zhou Zhisheng's Jingkou Town, and now Zhou Zhisheng has merged with Wang Zhiren and Zhang Huangyan and severely damaged the Zhulu Han army under Huai'an City and pursued all the way to Pizhou City.

The commanders of the Qing army under the city of Xuzhou all felt that although the situation was a little sinister, as long as the Qing army could seize the fighters, it would definitely be able to annihilate Zhou Zhisheng's department, after all, Zhou Zhisheng's Jingkou Town was only 8,000 people at most, and the Qing army under the city of Xuzhou could completely deal with it.

However, Hauge and Duoduo's views are completely different, after all, the situation on the eve of the Battle of Nanjing, which almost completely annihilated the Qing army in Jiangnan, is also similar to now, and everyone thinks that the Battle of Jiangnan still has a chance to turn defeat into victory, and as a result, the Qing army in Jiangnan was almost wiped out by the Ming army within two or three days.

Now although Liu Yongxi is not in the army, Haoge and Duoduo both feel that Zhou Zhisheng's reinforcements are definitely more than 8,000 people, and it is based on this judgment that their pair of uncles and nephews have decided to retreat north first, Duoduo told Haoge: "King Su, hurry back and prepare, we have to hurry up and break through first, as long as we have thousands of elite soldiers in our hands, the court has nothing to do with us!" ”

His views are similar to Dorgon's, this southern expedition is already the last chance for the Qing Dynasty to dominate the world, but the Great Qing Dynasty's southern expedition ended in failure, then the situation in the world will definitely undergo drastic changes, in this situation, after entering the customs, many Han official charters will definitely become a piece of waste paper, and then it will be the same as the outside of the customs to see who has more Niu Lu armor soldiers in their hands to decide who speaks more effectively in the court.

And Hauge was even more ruthless: "I estimate that the regent will definitely put the responsibility for the failure of this southern expedition on me, and in this case, I can only be polite!" ”

He can be said to be like a god, and Dolgon is indeed ready to put the responsibility for the failure of the southern expedition on Hauge, and Hauge naturally can't sit still: "Let's pack up and withdraw quickly!" ”

Duoduo and Haoge's actions caused an uproar in the Qing army's camp, and no one expected that Prince Yu and Prince Su, who were ordered to make meritorious contributions, would retreat directly without the edict of the regent.

Although they retreated very hastily and even abandoned a lot of artillery and baggage, but the determination to retreat was extremely firm, no one could stop them from retreating, and even the Qing army that came to block had an armed conflict, Duoduo said unceremoniously: "Whoever wants to prepare for the Eight Banners to kill each other will stand up, if you don't want the Eight Banners to kill each other, get out of the way!" ”

Although they all felt that Duoduo and Haoge were killing themselves, no one could afford such a responsibility, so they could only watch Duoduo and Haoge retreat north, and the news also reached the ears of Prince Li Daishan: "Since Prince Yu and Prince Su have withdrawn, then let's also withdraw together, although the law of the Qing Dynasty is strict, but the law does not blame the public!" ”

The Qing generals present felt incredible, and someone immediately said: "Although the king of Yu and the king of Su have withdrawn, our army still has a good chance of winning, after all, the king of Yu and the king of Su together are only 10,000 at most, and we have at least 50,000 or 60,000 people under the city of Xuzhou, and the defenders of the Ming Kingdom have run out of oil, as long as the big Beile ascends and shouts, tomorrow will be able to break through Xuzhou City!" ”

But Dai Shan was accustomed to ups and downs, and he was already disheartened, he told the generals of the two red flags: "How much benefit can we have if we take Xuzhou City, and the most important thing is that our two red flags cannot be lost in Xuzhou City, and the decision of King Yu and King Su to retreat north is because they have already had the experience of a southern expedition!" ”

Hearing Dai Shan say this, the two red flag generals present all woke up like a dream.

Although they have fought against Zhang Boyi many times under the city of Xuzhou, and Zhang Boyi's performance has always been very good, but in terms of the experience of Jinhua thieves, no one in the entire Qing Kingdom has defeated Duoduo and Haoge.

And everyone also remembered the painful lesson of the failure of the previous southern expedition, although the regent was vague about the specific losses, and Duoduo was Hauge tried every means to fool this matter, but the failure of the previous southern expedition can be called the first major defeat since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, and all the losses of the Great Qing State outside the customs may not be as good as this southern expedition.

After all, Duoduo led 80,000 people to the south, and later due to Duoduo's repeated defeats in Jiangnan, the imperial court sent Haoge to lead nearly 30,000 people to aid Jiangnan, even if you don't count the losses of Azig's Eastern Expedition and the new annexed army of the Qing army, the 100,000 Qing troops who could finally cross the river and retreat to the north were only 20,000 people according to Duoduo and Haoge, and the results of the princes and Baylor's private inquiries were only a few thousand.

Moreover, some of the troops of the two red flags also participated in the previous southern expedition, and the result was that more than 2,000 armor soldiers and Baoyi who participated in the southern expedition only escaped more than 100 people.

After all, the two red flags of the previous southern expedition were only partial divisions rather than the main force, but the result of losing more than 2,000 armor soldiers and coats still made the entire two red flags cry for half a month, and the two red flags of the southern expedition are well-deserved main forces.

And Dai Shan continued: "Anyway, as soon as King Yu and King Su withdraw, the people's hearts have already dispersed, let's just retreat, anyway, will the Great Qing Kingdom kill three princes in a row?" ”

Daishan, Duoduo, and Haoge are all the highest-ranking princes of the Qing Dynasty, no matter how domineering Dolgon is, it is impossible to kill all three princes, and the failure of this southern expedition is a great blow to Dolgon, and he is afraid that he will still win over the two most complete red flags afterwards.

Therefore, the two red flag generals present were all convinced, and some even said unceremoniously: "Just do it according to Da Beile's wishes, in fact, the rivers and mountains of the Great Qing Kingdom were all beaten down by our two red flags, and now it should be our turn to have two red flags." ”

In the past, if he encountered such a rebellious remark, Dai Shan would definitely be furious and reprimanded on the spot, and even tied up Dolgon and the court, but now Dai Shan shook his head and said: "I'm too old to want this kind of thing!" ”

If the retreat of Duoduo and Hauge had a huge impact on the Qing army, the comprehensive retreat of the two red flags made the Qing army panic, after all, the two red flags were the absolute main force of this southern expedition, and the two red flags and the Great Belle Daishan had already decided to retreat, and the remaining Qing troops should not retreat immediately.

But now the regent Dolgon is still personally supervising the battle in Fengyang, and retreating without the order of the regent Dolgon is probably a dead end, but Prince Li, Prince Su, and Prince Yu have already run away, and how much can they do if they stay in Xuzhou, after all, after the retreat of Daishan, it is now Zhang Boyi in Xuzhou City who has an advantage in terms of troops.

And Xuzhou Zhang Boyi did not expect that the Qing army outside the city would make such a strange move, they did not attack Xuzhou with all their might, nor did they fully withdraw to Shandong, but the Qing army continued to retreat to the north, and the strongest or most active Qing army has withdrawn, although the Qing army remaining near Xuzhou is still more than the defenders of Xuzhou, but because at least half of the Qing army has withdrawn, now they can not even form a tight blockade of Xuzhou City.

And the horse team sent by Zhou Zhisheng also took advantage of such a god-given opportunity to inform Zhang Boyi of everything that happened in Huai'an Mansion, which made Zhang Boyi excited all of a sudden: "Huai'an Mansion is a great victory, Empress Changping personally led 50,000 elite troops to break the Qing army of 30,000 in Huai'an Mansion and annihilate most of them, and now Empress Changping's reinforcements have passed Pizhou!" ”
