In the end, unsurprisingly, the Qing army lowered their offensive and quietly packed their bags.

The two princes unanimously agreed to withdraw their troops, leaving Prince Dorgon alone, although he was unwilling to wait in his heart, but he had no choice but to follow the actions of the other two princes.

Earlier, although he thought about breaking the jar and breaking it, he would no longer continue to cooperate with this group of stupid people who could not be on the stage, and continue to approach the south with his two white flag disciples, but after thinking about and judging back, he also had to admit the fact that he only had 20,000 or 30,000 troops in his hands, and he was afraid that he would not even be able to rush out of the front in front of him, let alone regain the lost ground.

And just when the Qing people were preparing to evacuate and reduce the frequency and power of their attacks, Shang Kexi, who was sensitive on the opposite front, quickly noticed these changes, but it was a pity that their team still had some opportunities to defend, but it was difficult for the strongmen to launch a counterattack.

The losses of more than 10,000 soldiers sent to the rear to fight the invasion war were extremely heavy over the course of these days, even far more than the tens of thousands of soldiers they had lost in their positions.

Under the extremely cold weather, the Qing people set up ambushes, and other factors, the Hongtang guerrillas who are still surviving around the Qing army's front are probably less than 4,000.

The Hongtang soldiers who held the position also suffered heavy losses, and there were dozens of non-combat attrition every night, which was still the place where Hongtang attached great importance to the warmth of the soldiers, but it was also difficult to resist the all-pervasive cold invasion in all directions.

Of course, the Qing people on the other side did not please well, as far from the rich and perfect existence of the Hongtang army in terms of materials, although the Qing people were extremely familiar with the climate of the Northeast, but there was also no perfect way to deal with the extremely cold climate that dropped sharply by more than ten degrees at night and dripped.

"Division commander, I think the other side should be preparing to withdraw the army!"

Lu Shijie, a member of Shang Kexi's side, was keenly aware of the abnormal movement on the front front, and turned around and quickly found Shang Kexi and reported to him.

"Wasn't that what we expected? The rebellion of the Jurchen Yehe tribe of the Qing Dynasty attacked the city and plundered the land in its rear, causing its officialdom and people to be unstable. ”

As the initiator of the rebellion in the rear of the Qing Dynasty, the Hongmen guards did not have the point of cherishing the information in terms of sharing, and when they gave this information to Wu Jie, it also meant that Shang Kexi and they also obtained this precious information.

When they learned this information, for Shang Kexi, the soldiers who were fighting on the front line, they were not only surprised and surprised, but also felt how fortunate it was to be backed by a team with foresight and strong execution.

Immediately, Shang Kexi and Lu Shijie began to predict the direction of the next battle, and finally concluded that the probability of the Qing army retreating was more than seventy percent, and the probability of continuing to attack their Hongtang defense line was less than forty percent.

With this prediction, Shang Keg's confidence in sticking to this position has become even stronger.

They can't retreat anymore, and if they retreat from the Anshan defense line, it means that they are about to lose this natural hilly area as a trapped beast field, and the soldiers of the Great Qing Iron Cavalry will definitely follow the plains of Pingchuan and point directly to Phoenix City, a major town behind Hongtang.

Moreover, on the edge of this hilly area, the mine, jointly financed by the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and Qi Xintang, has just been completed and is ready to be put into production.

If it is unfortunate that this mine, which is about to make some profits, becomes the result of the enemy's war, in addition to the risk that it may be used by the enemy, the greater impact on Hongmen is that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce may lose confidence in the Northeast and no longer invest in the Northeast.

In that case, Hongmen's future plans to use the Northeast as a heavy industry base will progress slowly due to the loss of a big financier, which is not good news for Li Tianyang, who is about to turn 50 years old.

Therefore, Shang Kexi wanted to use the Gongchangling as a line of defense to resolutely resist the battle plan of the Qing army, so they could get the support of Wu Jie and them, and Li Tianyang also did everything possible to raise salaries, military funds and reinforcements for them.

"However, we have to be careful that the Qing army is likely to have a final counterattack next, firstly to prepare for their withdrawal, and secondly, it may also be their last effort, to see if we can break through our defense!"

Lu Shijie did not relax because of the temporary war situation in front of him, but put forward his opinions to Shang Kexi with some concern.

"Well, I am also worried about this, you order to go down, let the brothers be in good spirits for the next two days, and by the way, exchange the alcohol in our inventory for some water, and a soldier will allocate a little to keep out the cold!"

Shang Kexi also had this idea in his heart, and seeing that his staff were also worried, he began to prepare for a possible fierce battle.

"The people who called the cooking class made a little more meat and vegetables in the past two days to replenish the brothers' strength, and there was a war in this hellish weather, and before the battle was over, the brothers were all turned into popsicles!"

"Yes!"

Lu Shijie nodded in response and turned to leave.

As expected, on the same night, the Qing soldiers launched a ferocious night raid, under the low temperature of more than ten degrees below zero, the Qing people stepped on the messy ground that they trampled on during the day, turned into solid snow, and slipped and slipped towards Shang Kexi's battle line.

The Honghongtang soldiers immediately counterattacked, although the vision at night was not good, but there were no friendly troops in the Qinfang night, and the sound of guns and cannons on the Hongtang position rang out at the same time, which opened the curtain for this battle, which was very likely to be the last attack of the Qing Dynasty in the future.

And more than 20 miles south of the battlefield of the battle between the two sides, an army of tens of thousands just set up camp, but it was the part of Baiyu Mountain that had come through the heavy snow.

At this time, the roaring sound of artillery fire in the north could be faintly heard in the quiet of the night, and in the face of the destination they were about to arrive, Bai Yushan and Ma Yao were both excited, but they were not panicked.

Surrounded by heavy snow along the way, the march of this army was too slow, but fortunately, Bai Yushan had changed their scheduled plan earlier and set off a few days earlier, otherwise if they really had to march according to the plan, they were afraid that there would be no way to reach their destination within the scheduled time.

And the artillery fire in the distance is fierce, which shows that Bai Yushan's target has not withdrawn at this time, which means that their plan still has a lot of room for implementation, as for what kind of situation it is on the specific battlefield, it depends on the report brought by the scouts they sent out.
