The raid in the middle of the night caught Shang Kexi's subordinates, who were in a hurry, by surprise, and they did not expect that when the main battlefield was contained by tens of thousands of Hongtang colleagues, the Qing people would dare to make dangerous moves and aim their heads at their own side.

Of course, this also has the problem of Wu Jie's Hongtang headquarters army, if it weren't for the fact that when they fought on the main battlefield, they failed to find that the main force of the Qing people was silent, and they had called back their forces to ambush Shang Kexi, and told Shang Kexi, at this time, the Qing people would not succeed.

But there are not so many ifs in everything, since things have happened, Shang Kexi will not complain, what they can do now is to try their best to shrink their forces and wait for the support of Wu Jie and their main forces outside the main battlefield.

For this reason, Shang Kexi gave an order, and they marched in a hurry, and they did not carry much supplies to burn them all, and at the same time cut down a lot of wood to add fuel to the local materials, but it was more convenient and fast than sending people to ask for help under the black light.

This is also the reason why on the main battlefield more than twenty miles away, Wu Jie and the others can see half of the black sky turning red.

When the cavalry of An Xianguo, which arrived first, arrived at the battlefield, the situation was not very critical, but it also coincided with the most intense battle between Shang Kexi and the Qing Dynasty female Allah.

In the previous two or three days, An Xianguo took the Hongtang cavalry division to fight with the Daqingzheng White Flag cavalry, and both sides suffered countless losses, but in general, the Hongtang cavalry division suffered more losses, and the Great Song Dynasty now has less than 4,000 scales.

Moreover, the confrontation between the cavalry has always been the most tragic, far more intolerable than the infantry engagement, only two or three days of fighting, for the Hongtang cavalry division, which really went to the battlefield for the first time, and has endured many hardships and strong opponents, every time they fight, they have to raise twelve distractions, although they only fight for two or three days, but it is not more than more than a week of fighting and labor of the infantry army.

Unlike the training on Dayuan Island, although it was hard but also safe, after going to the battlefield, I saw my colleagues flying head-on when the cavalry charged and fighting, and the corpses were collected afterwards and the whole body could not be found, more meat and mud, countless people made the cavalry division soldiers have more and more awe of death in their hearts, and they also hope that they can survive from the battlefield.

In addition, it takes a lot of energy and physical strength to travel overnight, while guarding against possible attacks, and at the same time maintaining a formation when the vision is dim in the night.

The tired officers and men of the cavalry division arrived in a hurry, and before they had time to reorganize their formation, they threw themselves into the battle that had been raging for a long time, which brought great encouragement to the backbone of the battlefield, which was tightly surrounded and at a disadvantage.

At the same time, the Qing army was also disrupted by this Hongtang army that came earlier than originally planned, and Prince Dolgon, who personally led the team, was so angry that he repeatedly folded his horsewhip into several sections to vent the anger in his heart.

After returning to the south, they fought against the unknown Ming army in this Dongjiang town, and the invincible Qing army they faced was deflated everywhere, and they no longer had the advantage when fighting against the Han army.

This is the case under Liaoyang City, Phoenix City, and even the current surprise attack on a Han army from afar has not achieved Prince Dolgon's goal.

As early as when he noticed that the Ming army behind him was getting closer and closer to his rear, Prince Dolgon was already like a mirror in his heart, if he didn't find a way to solve this Han reinforcement army, then the Qing army, which had been deadlocked on the main battlefield for eight or nine days, would inevitably fall into a disadvantage.

This is an indisputable fact, because in these few days of fighting, the advantages of the Qing army have become less and less obvious, and the construction of the army's spirit in this era is almost equal to nothing, which is also an important reason why an army often has various problems when its losses gradually increase.

Roughly calculated, the losses of the main forces of the Qing Dynasty in these days of fighting have exceeded 30%, and the thinking of the low-level soldiers, especially the Han army and Korean soldiers, has fluctuated greatly, and it has become more and more difficult to discipline.

On the other hand, the Ming army on the other side, although the proportion of losses may not be much less than its own, its overall spiritual outlook is completely different from that of the Qing army.

Among the Han army and Korean soldiers, deserters gradually began to appear, even if the warlord team and the night patrol team were vigilant, there were always one hundred and eighty soldiers who disappeared every night, which made the leaders of each team sad for it.

Although the Han army and Korean soldiers played more roles as cannon fodder and auxiliary troops in the Qing army, such signs of fleeing one after another also made the soldiers of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty begin to panic.

The human heart is always long, and no matter how ruthless the warrior is, when he faces death on the battlefield, he will hope that he is the lucky one who lives the longest, and when he sees the familiar or unfamiliar faces around him disappear one after another, anyone will mutter: Why do you want to serve so desperately, instead of fleeing back to the clan like those smart people?

If it weren't for the fact that the Qing army had been in an advantageous position on the battlefield until now, the officers and men of the Qing Dynasty still had some confidence in victory, and they would have collapsed because of heavy losses.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Hongtang army, it not only cultivated the training of the soldiers in discipline and coordination, but also did a lot of work from the ideological level, mobilizing the enthusiasm of the soldiers themselves, so that they were willing to devote themselves to training.

Every night, the soldiers of Hongtang also organize to learn to read and write, learn how to change their self-perception, and change their family prospects, etc., a lot of education and ideological work, so that they are more willing to devote themselves to the training and combat of the Hongtang army after knowing the reason.

Because they understand that their sacrifice at this time is in exchange for the future happiness of their families and future generations, and the generous pension system of the Hongtang army has also dispelled many concerns of countless soldiers, so that even if they sacrifice, they do not have to worry about the next life of their families and heirs.

As the battle continues to be stalemate, the sacrifices of the soldiers will gradually increase, and the combat effectiveness of each other's armies will also change greatly because of the differences in ideological cognition and the differences in treatment and pensions.

As a prince, Dolgon obviously felt the change in the minds of the low-level soldiers, which would bring great changes to the entire army, and Hongtang Shang Kexi's army, which seemed to be only 20,000 people, if it was inserted into this battlefield mountain that had gradually become balanced, what trouble it would cause to the main force of the Qing Dynasty, which was composed of the soldiers of the Eight Banners!!
