After a burst of artillery bombardment, the 30,000 soldiers and horses who came from the Qing army are now dead and wounded, and some have secretly fled the battlefield and become deserters.

The number of soldiers on the battlefield who were intact and still obeying Aobai's orders was now only more than 20,000 people. Of the 10,000 troops that were missing, only more than 1,000 were killed by shells or accidentally wounded, and two or three thousand were wounded. In the end, the remaining six or seven thousand were deserters, and now I don't know where they fled.

After a period of convening, Ao Bai saw that he had gathered back 20,000 troops, and he was already very satisfied, if he hadn't given that order before, it was estimated that the number of troops that could be summoned back would be 10,000.

Ao Bai looked at the miserable situation around him, and his heart felt sad. He lost so badly, he has never lost so badly since his debut. Not far in front of him was Pingxiang County, and he knew that there were only five or six thousand troops in it, but now that he had lost the advantage of artillery, it was impossible to take this small county town.

"Today's defeat is really my shame! One day, he will surely raze the city of Pingxiang to the ground and burn it to your ashes! Destroy the Han people in the world, let these Han dogs go to hell! ”

At this time, there are two roads in front of Aobai, one is to continue to besiege Pingxiang County. Now that Liu Xia has led his troops back to the south, the five thousand soldiers and horses in this city are already lonely, and there must not be much food and grass in the city.

If it is surrounded until the Pingbei army inside is exhausted, it will naturally come out and surrender. However, this road takes a long time, and I still don't know how the war is going in the south, if Wu Sangui is defeated, maybe Liu Xia will immediately come back to help, so I don't know if Liu Xia will send troops back to help, this road is not good, and now Beijing is also in trouble, and it is a big deal. The city of Beijing was a mess by Huo Yandegang, a large number of people were needed to rebuild houses, etc., and a strong defense was needed, and there was certainly not much food and grass, and it was estimated that there would not be so much time for him to besiege a county for a long time. Judging from the current situation of the Qing court, Dolgon will certainly not give him much time.

Their time in the Qing Dynasty is running out, this year is not as good as that year, in the past, it was the Qing army everywhere they heard the wind and surrendered, but now there are Han people everywhere to resist.

As for the other way, it is to retreat the troops, return to Julu and wait until the soldiers and horses recover and build siege equipment, and then come here to besiege Pingxiang County. This road had to be retreated first, with enough time to cut down trees, build ladders, etc. But now that Hauge is unconscious, he can't make this decision. If he retired from the army because of his own initiative, the regent would blame him, and he would naturally not be able to afford it. Therefore, this road will not work either. Unless Hauge himself said to withdraw from the army, Ao Bai could not retreat. Ao Bai couldn't help but have a headache.

Dilemma, what should I do? To retreat or not to retreat! Ao Bai just wanted Nahaug to wake up quickly.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang! You'd better wake up soon, and get an idea! Now our army really can't retreat, and we can't enter! ”

For the sake of safety, Ao Bai led the troops to retreat to the place where the artillery on the top of the Pingxiang City Tower could not shoot, and took the opportunity to pull back more than 20 red-coated cannons, and Haoge was surrounded by the soldiers, tightly protected, and a fly could not fly in at this time.

Ao Bai is a military general, his mind is not too developed, and he can't think of any peerless plans in his heart, he only relies on bravery to fight. Ao Bai is a demon king of the world, if he leads his own troops, then he can fight as much as he wants, but now there is Prince Su Haoge here, even if he was afraid of him during the Kangxi period in history, but at this time he is just an ordinary general, and now Ao Bai has not had the slightest disobedience.

"How is Prince Su?" Aobai temporarily camped here, while sending people to collect the bones of the soldiers and bury them, although Aobai looked down on the Han people, but these were their own people after all, and they also buried the corpses. But the way to bury these corpses is also very simple, dig a big pit, then throw all the dead bodies down, and finally fill in the soil, and it's done, a real mass grave!

At the same time, he sent scouts to search for the village Langzhong in Shili and Eight Townships, but the people in these Ten Miles and Eight Townships were all moved away by Liu Xia at the beginning of the previous battle, and those scouts turned around and were stunned to find no one. One by one, the aggrieved ones were scolded by Aobai, but Aobai had no choice but to let the soldiers take care of Haoge and not have any more problems.

The guard who took care of Haoge next to him heard Aobai's inquiry, and immediately replied: "The prince's breathing has gradually stabilized now, and his face has returned to normal, but I don't know why he still hasn't woken up, presumably he should have been unconscious, and he will wake up automatically after a while." Now that there is no imperial doctor here, it is difficult for us to judge what happened to the prince. ”

Ao Bai listened, and his heart gradually relaxed, as long as his breathing was stable, it would be fine, and whether he woke up or not was secondary. Anyway, as long as you live, it's a big deal to let the imperial doctor treat it after returning to the palace, Ao Bai said: "You go to the neighborhood to look around, see if you can find the medicinal materials, and then cook it for the prince and take it." Then I went to find a few more women to take care of it. In addition, inform the guards in Julu City to be ready to answer at all times. ”

Hearing this, the guards hurriedly said, "Yes, the slaves obey the order!" With that, they went about their own tasks.

"Report!"

At this moment, a scout's hurried voice came, and I saw him running quickly to Aobai's side, taking a breath, constantly wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said anxiously: "The general is not good, there are a large number of cavalry in the distance!" A lot of cavalry—"

"A lot of cavalry!" After listening to this, the hairs stood on end. Damn it! How could there be cavalry at this time. Ao Bai kept praying in his heart that it was his own cavalry, maybe Prince Yu had returned to help them with the Eight Banners Elite Cavalry, Prince Yu had already defeated Huo Yandegang, and maybe he was sent by the regent again. Thinking of this, Ao Bai hurriedly asked: "You can see it clearly, but is it the iron horse of our Great Qing Kingdom?" Prince Yu led the people who came to help? Aobai's eyes were full of expectation, expecting that the scout would say that it was the elite of the Eight Banners, and the leader was none other than Duoduo.

But the scout was obviously going to disappoint Aobai, and I saw that the scout was still wiping his sweat, and his whole body was wet with sweat, and he said in a terrified voice: "No, no, the general's cavalry is the Pingbei Army wearing black armor, not Prince Yu." ”

Before the scout could finish speaking, he felt a tremor beneath his feet, like an earthquake.

"Earthquake!"

The guards next to him hurriedly exclaimed.

Ao Bai frowned and reprimanded: "This is not an earthquake, it is the cavalry of the enemy army, damn it, it came so quickly, it is really fast, hurry up, gather troops!" Gather your forces and stop those cavalry! ”

After that, Ao Bai was about to walk out of the tent that Haoge had temporarily set up, but when he walked to the door, he turned his head to the four or five guards inside and said: "You protect the prince, in case of an accident, you will definitely take the prince and escape!" Did you hear it all? "Obviously, Ao Bai has not seen this battle well, and he is asking for it at this time.

"According to the Han people, this is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight! Damn the cavalry, why did you come at this time. "How did Ao Bai know at this time, this is just a scene designed by Liu Xia and Li Wen.

Zhang Yang excitedly took the saber and quickly took the lead to rush towards the 20,000 soldiers and horses that Ao Bai had just gathered before he was ready.

5,000 elite cavalry against 20,000 infantry, the result can be imagined, as long as the leading generals are not fools and fools, and attack in such a situation where the enemy does not know it, they will definitely win. Zhang Yang had already smelled the smell of blood splashing on his face. It's so comfortable.

Drive! Drive!

"Brothers, rush! Let these Tartars see how powerful our Feng Xiangwei is! Destroy the Tartars! ”

"Knock knock knock~~"

The war drums on the city of Pingxiang resounded like thunder throughout the world and resounded throughout the world. Zhang Yuan walked into it and personally cheered for Zhang Yang's drumming. The soldiers above the Pingxiang city were also shouting loudly, and their morale was greatly boosted.

"Kill!"
