In the eyes of Azig and others, the Eight Banners are their own army, and these green battalions that have just surrendered are just tools and cannon fodder, so these days when fighting with the Ming army, the water and land battles have lost tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers, but Azig doesn't care at all.

When the Eight Banners are there, the situation can be done, and many people disagree with Li Guoying's statement.

"Lord Wang, generals, the defeat that the last general said is definitely the battle to attack Wuhu, and we have actually failed.

Perhaps in the eyes of the prince and the generals, as long as the main force of the Eight Banners is still there, it will not fail. Indeed, the Eight Banners are invincible, and this will be agreed with from the bottom of my heart.

But now it is no better than when it fought against the thieves, and the south is no better than the north.

These days, as you have seen, the south is full of currents, and it is more about relying on ships and water battles. Wang Ye just said that General Aobai and King Pingxi were about to conquer Nanjing, I am afraid it was a bluff, and the general said bluntly that they may not even be able to break through the Qinhuai River, let alone hit the city of Nanjing. I don't know if what the last general said is right or not? ”

Li Guoying said and looked at Azig, but saw Azig's face was iron-blue. In fact, a few days ago, Ao Bai sent back a military report, saying that the army's entry into Yingtianfu was blocked, and it was unable to cross the Qinhuai River under the obstruction of the Ming Water Army......

"You go on!" Azig said with an ugly face, the march in the south is indeed different from the north.

"Yes, my lord. At present, the Ming army is extremely powerful, and our water army and its water battles have lost one after another, and it is impossible to break through the Wuhu defense line at all, and from this point of view, our army has been defeated.

General Ransom said bluntly that if our army wants to defeat Nanjing and destroy the Ming Dynasty, it is not enough to rely only on the Eight Banners, and it has to rely more on the green battalion that is familiar with the south and water warfare. But at present, most of the green battalion soldiers have been bewitched by the Ming army, and they have different intentions with me. How can this continue to fight the Ming army? ”

Li Guoying said heartbrokenly.

"Hmph, so what? Hundreds of thousands of thieves have been beaten by my Eight Banners, how dare you Green Battalion soldiers who saw the thieves flee against me? It only takes 10,000 Eight Banners to kill these 200,000 green camps! Fu Lech said disdainfully.

"What Zhen Guogong said makes sense, but have you thought about it? If the Eight Banners suppressed the Green Battalion soldiers, if the Ming army suddenly attacked, what should they do then? Although the Eight Banners were brave, they were too few after all. Li Guoying sighed.

The Eight Banners are powerful, but that refers to the formation of battles, with the 20,000 Eight Banners in the battalion, Azig is sure that he will fight against hundreds of thousands of Ming troops and win.

However, if it falls into civil strife in the camp, there are more than 100,000 green battalion soldiers in rebellion, and there are 780,000 elite Ming troops outside to attack, how many nails can the Eight Banners soldiers crush no matter how brave they are? There was only one defeat under the internal and external attacks.

The people present are all battle-hardened veterans, and they can imagine the phenomenon described by Li Guoying. And now the Eight Banners are all on the southeast side of the Yangtze River, and once they fail, what awaits the whole army is probably the annihilation of the whole army.

Mr. Li continued. Azig waved his hand to stop the second son Fu Lehe, and said to Li Guoying with a pleasant face.

"In fact, the last general who should say it has already said that for today's plan, the only way to do this is to retreat the whole army to the west side of the Yangtze River first. Be invincible first, and then consider fighting the Ming army. Li Guoying sighed.

Retreating across the Yangtze River means that the army is safe, but it also means that this war against Ming is a complete failure, which everyone knows well.

"You go back first, let this king think about it." Azig said in harmony to Li Guoying.

"Lord Wang, when you continue to suffer from the chaos, you have to make up your mind as soon as possible!" After Li Guoying gave a salute, he turned around and retreated.

Li Guoying retreated, and only Azig, Tan Tai, Fu Lehe and other Eight Banner generals were left in the tent.

"Tell me, what are we going to do now?" The rest of the tent was his own family, Azig sighed, his tone very gloomy.

"Lord Wang, in fact, what Li Guoying said is not unreasonable, at the moment when the green battalion soldiers will rebel and not rebel, it is the time for us to retreat to the other side of the river. Once the Green Battalion cooperates with the Ming army to make a rebellion, and the Ming army blocks the Yangtze River, it will be difficult for us to retreat! Tan Tai sighed.

"But the 20,000 troops of Ao Bai and Wu Sangui have not yet returned, if we retreat, where will we leave them?" Fu Lehe said dissatisfiedly. So Tan Tai stopped talking.

Wu Sangui's Han Eight Banners is just that, but Ao Bai led 10,000 True Eight Banners, and losing it would hurt the Qing Dynasty too much. The Eight Banners led by Duoduo were all wiped out, and the Eight Banners in Wuhu must not suffer any more losses, otherwise it will be an unbearable pain for the Qing Dynasty!

Whether it is Tan Tai or Azig, no one dares to give up lightly to the Aobai army.

"Prince Ying, generals. Actually, in fact, you don't have to care too much about General Ao Bai and King Pingxi. At this moment, Shang Kexi, the king of Zhishun, who had been silent, spoke.

As one of the Sanshun kings of Houjin who surrendered early, Shang Kexi was very trusted by the Manchu court and was ordered to lead his headquarters to accompany Azig to attack the thieves. However, as a general, Shang Kexi has always pursued the principle of prudence in words and deeds, and is easily reluctant to say more. Now that the army is at stake, he can't remain silent any longer.

"Oh? I wonder what King Zhishun has to say? Azig asked Shang Kexi with a smile.

Although Shang Kexi is a general, he has a prince with him, and Azig is also kind to him.

"Prince Ying, I think that General Ao Bai and King Pingxi don't have to worry about it. They have 20,000 elite soldiers in their hands, all of whom are elite soldiers who can fight habitually, and if they want to retreat, they can't stop it with the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

Compared with them, among the more than 200,000 green battalion soldiers with different intentions, we who have more than 100,000 main forces of the Ming army ten miles away are the most dangerous.

Prince Ying, you can send someone to deliver a letter to Aobai, ordering him not to return to Wuhu, but to make a detour to Chizhou and move to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. As long as our army crosses the Yangtze River safely and reaches the opposite bank, with our army's containment, the Ming army in Wuhu will not have the strength to intercept them at all, and it will not be a problem for them to return to Jiangbei safely. ”

Azig slapped his head, and he was concerned about it, yes, with the strength of Ao Bai and Wu Sangui, if he retreated, how many people in the Ming army would be able to stop him? If Chen Yue dares to send a large army to pursue, he can take the opportunity to cross the Yangtze River and take Wuhu.

Therefore, with his own army to contain him, Chen Yue did not dare to deal with Ao Bai and Wu Sangui at all.

"Okay, send a message to Li Guoying, order him to prepare a boat, and we will cross the river today!" After figuring it out, Azig ordered categorically. At this time, he didn't dare to hesitate anymore, once the Green Battalion soldiers rebelled and the Ming army took the opportunity to attack, it would be difficult to leave.
