Under the cover of the artillery fire in Dongjiang Town, the remnants of Kong Youde's officers and men finally returned to the sea area under the fleet, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

Of the more than 15,000 officers and men of Dongjiang Town at the time of departure, there were only more than 6,000 soldiers on the fleet warships, which was really a heavy blow to the officers and men of Dongjiang Town.

Dongjiang Town really stole chickens and rice this time, and the team that finally developed and grew up was beaten back to its original shape after a battle, and it was even much weaker.

As soon as the soldiers of Dongjiang Town boarded the warship, two armies of different sizes appeared around the area where they landed, and the torches raised by the long procession in the night reflected half of the sky, making Kong Youde and them break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Kong Youde and they retreated in time, otherwise they really let the other party's reinforcements surround their team, I am afraid that they really have the possibility of being surrounded and annihilated by the other party.

A Jurchen tribe that came to the aid was more than 5,000 soldiers sent by Shuotuo on the mountain to support, although these soldiers were reinforced, but their combat effectiveness was not enough to fear under the fierce battle of a day, uh uh, the other one was closely followed by Yue Cha's Daqing infantry army to support, because there was no Yue Cha The mobility of their cavalry team, they were delayed on the road for a long time, so that they caught up with Yue Cha at this time, but unfortunately they just missed the opportunity, and could only look at the vague fleet figure on the sea, Let out a long sigh of regret.

"What a pity!!"

Commander Yue Cha has been doing their best to delay and kill the living forces of Dongjiang Town, but the fighting spirit and strength of the soldiers of Dongjiang Town are not comparable to the ordinary Ming Dynasty army.

Yue Cha and the others did not think of forcing the soldiers of Dongjiang Town to break their wrists on the coastline and give up some of the soldiers to block the impact of the Qing cavalry, but when they just stepped within the limited range of the Dongjiang Town fleet's artillery fire, the Dongjiang Town Fleet artillery fire fell from the sky like thunder, and the surrounding environment of the entire coastline was destroyed immediately.

The artillery carried by the Dongjiang Town fleet is not the 18-pound to 20-pound small cannon used by the Dongjiang Town team in field battles, and the smallest caliber has reached 24-pound shipborne guns.

At the same time, the powerful wave of qi brought up at the same time can blow a war horse to the ground along with the knight on the war horse, and it can't get up for a long time.

And those warrior horses that unfortunately happened to be hit by cannonballs were not directly turned into a mess of mud and a few mutilated limbs; is missing half of the body, and he didn't even have time to open his mouth to cry out in pain, and he fainted directly on the spot, which was even more miserable than the soldier who died directly.

After paying hundreds of cavalry soldiers for losses, Yue Cha reluctantly stopped the senseless sacrifices of the soldiers under his command, and retreated with his team to the range of the Dongjiang Town fleet's artillery fire, watching their actions from a distance.

And after receiving Kong Youde and them on board, the Dongjiang Town fleet was unwilling to lose the officers and men under his command Kong Youde, and they were also resentful and angry, and in addition to being furious, the fleet's artillery fire kept shooting at the long line of fuzzy torches on the distant coastline, except for consuming some more shells, the actual effect was little, until it was finally stopped by Xiang Shenggao.

"Thank you Yue Cha for your assistance, otherwise I really don't know if I can still highlight the encirclement of the Ming army!"

Shuo Tuo, who led 5,000 remnants of troops from Panshan to support Yue Cha, expressed his presence to Yue Cha with gratitude and a stammering tone.

Glancing at the other party contemptuously, Yue Cha replied dissatisfiedly: "Don't be sentimental, General Ben is not here to save you, but to exterminate the Ming army in Dongjiang." ”

"You guys are really useless, 50,000 people and other teams, they can't buy us enough time, it's almost half a day to clean up, and when you go back, let's see how you explain to the Great Khan!"

The more Yue Cha thought about it, the more angry he became, this time for the layout, his team was left in the country, and did not become a part of the invasion of the rich Ming Dynasty, not to mention that he lost a great opportunity to make a fortune in vain, not to mention that he had not been able to complete the set task in the end, although he gave the Dongjiang Town army a heavy blow, but still let it escape to the sea with the remnants of the army.

"I didn't expect that this Ming army would dare to go out of the city to fight with us, and this Dongjiang Town army came really suddenly, and it brought a heavy blow to our army as soon as it came up."

Shuo Tuo lowered his head and nodded to admit his mistake, although they were all staff leaders, but one was a staff leader with less than 10,000 miscellaneous cavalry, and the other was a staff leader with more than 20,000 elite staff members under his command, there was still a clear gap between their status and identity, and Shuo Tuo could only listen to Yue Cha's condemnation humbly, and did not dare to refute it in a hard voice.

"What about the Ningyuan Ming Dynasty army? You're not going to let them go, are you? ”

The biggest target has no chance to attack, and Yue Cha can't just leave after such a long time, he still thinks that he can get a little more military merit and go back, at least make up for his sin of being unfavorable in battle.

“……”

Shuo Tuo sneered, and replied softly and hesitantly: "Our army has suffered too heavy losses, and we dare not follow and pursue the other party, so we can only watch the other party leave, and now I am afraid that it is already dozens of miles away from us." ”

"Rubbish! Rubbish! ”

Yue Cha was furious, and almost wanted to slap this colleague to vent his anger.

In this way, this military operation against the enemy is probably coming to an end for the time being at this moment, although Yue Cha and they can take the opportunity to continue to attack Jinzhou and Ningyuan, but with the troops they are bringing now, even if they arrive in Jinzhou and Ningyuan, I am afraid that they can only show off their might around the city, and they have no strength to make other moves.

The Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry, when looking at the Dongjiang Town fleet that emitted a little fire on the sea and gradually disappeared into the vast dark sea, finally could only temporarily rest and rest on the spot, and then cleaned up the battlefield that had been fought yesterday on the second day, and collected the corpses of the soldiers and all kinds of materials left behind by their own side, the Ming army and the Dongjiang army, and then returned home unhappily.

At the same time, on the vast sea of Liaodong, there was also a dejected and silent fleet, heading towards their base camp, Dongjiang Zhenphi Island, more than 100 miles away.

A battle of wits and strength between the two sides, a long-planned battle, just a few days of waiting for the battle, the curtain was drawn, summing up the results of the battle It seems that there is actually no real winner in this battle, both sides are losing countless troops but have not achieved their intended goals.
