Tian Xiong withdrew, thinking that Ma Degong had already set up a pontoon bridge and could cross the river, but as far as the result was concerned, as long as Gan Hui's warship was there, there was no hope of building a bridge.

On the river beach, the trapped Tan Tai, Ah Shan, as well as Zhang Cunren, Tian Xiong, and Ma Degong, these people could not surrender, and when the Ming army approached, these people also understood their own situation and wanted to do a dying struggle.

Although Tan Tai is brave and unscrupulous, he is a genuine Jurchen man, he sees the situation clearly, and can only rather die than give in.

Wang Yan saw through the Qianli mirror, the Qing army on the river beach, waving flags, various departments mobilized, and the defeated army also picked up arms and stood up, quite a tragic atmosphere of knowing that he was about to die and gnaw off a piece of meat of the Ming army, so he waved his hand and said: "The army will build fortifications on the spot, and surround him for a few days." ”

"Guogong, don't you fight?" Liu Shun wondered.

"What's the fight?" Wang Yan glared at him, "Didn't you see them put on a good posture, just waiting to exchange their lives with us?" ”

"But it's all here, the brothers are all enthusiastic, ready to drive this flock of birds down the river in one go, and I always feel that there is no fun in not fighting like this."

Wang Yan glanced at Liu Shun, "After this Eastern Crusade, you go directly to Mr. Kuang Lu, read the art of war well, sharpen your temperament, and then come back to take charge of the army!" ”

When Liu Shun heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he didn't dare to speak.

Wang Yan glanced at him with his spare eyes, handed him the clairvoyant mirror, and then said: "There are more than 15,000 Qing soldiers on the river beach, but there are no big carts on the entire river beach. Benge surrounded him for a few days, and he still had the strength to fight against Benge? ”

Liu Shun listened, and hurriedly picked up the clairvoyant mirror to watch, and sure enough, as Wang Yan said, the narrow river beach was crowded with Qing soldiers, but he did not see the vehicles loaded with supplies.

The Qing army lined up the formation, just waiting for the Ming army to attack, and wanted to fight to the death, but the Ming army, which was two miles away, stopped on the spot and had no intention of attacking.

"General, you see that the Ming army seems to be building a camp!" A member of the Qing General said suddenly.

Tan Tai looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, the Ming army was divided into three groups, and each set up a village in the west, south, and north of the river beach, trapping the Qing army to death on the river beach.

Zhang Cunren also showed this problem, and immediately understood Wang Yan's intentions, and hurriedly reacted to Tan Tai, "The army's grain and grass are on the east bank, Wang Yan is trying to trap us, and now he will fight to the death, and there is still a glimmer of life, after a long time, he will inevitably collapse without a fight." ”

Tan Tai didn't listen to Zhang Cunren's words before, and as a result, he was ambushed, and now he naturally attaches great importance to Zhang Cunren's opinion, and hurriedly asked Tian Xiongbu to pounce on the Ming army, but the Qing soldiers did not approach the Ming village, and they were beaten back by birds, bows and arrows.

The Qing army was trapped on the river beach, and if the Ming army attacked, they had no way to retreat, so they naturally fought desperately, but the Ming army surrounded it and did not attack, and the Qing army's will to fight to the death was naturally not firm.

Tan Tai continuously urged several green battalions to attack, but they had already suffered defeat, and the 30,000 Ming army was twice as many as them, but they defended it, where did they fight, leaving hundreds of corpses, and obediently retreating to the river beach.

At night, the Qing soldiers took advantage of the night to repair the pontoon bridge again, but they were still burned by the warships commanded by Gan Hui, and the Qing soldiers organized many breakthroughs, but they all ended in failure.

The Qing army was trapped on the river beach, that is, unable to defeat the Ming army, and unable to cross the river, and when the big trees on the river beach that could make rafts were almost cut down, but the pontoon bridge could not be erected, they gradually fell into despair.

On the fourth day and night, on the river beach, several marching cauldrons were erected on top of the raging fire, and in the pots, boiling water was gushing and steaming, and some without pots were boiling water with iron helmets.

Fortunately, the Qing soldiers are on the river beach, so they don't have to worry about the water source, otherwise if there is no water, they may have collapsed long ago.

The water in the pot was boiling, but there was nothing in it, more than 15,000 people, they could eat a hill every day, and the war horse ate it clean on the second day of being trapped, and the bones in the pot had long been stewed.

At this time, countless Qing soldiers crowded on the river beach, their eyes were dull, their expressions were sluggish, and their eyes gradually lost hope, and several Eight Banner soldiers poured the collected leather boots, leather belts, leather whips, and bow bags into the pot, and then poured the wild vegetables and weeds collected from the river beach into it.

The Qing army was really at the end of the road, under the burning firelight, a pair of greedy eyes, staring at the steaming cauldron, if it weren't for military discipline, they would have rushed to it.

On a bluestone on the river beach, Tan Tai and Zhang Cunren sat together.

"General, it's not a way to drag it out like this, today there are already green battalion soldiers who have fled to the Ming camp to surrender, there is no food, there may be more people who will flee tomorrow, it won't take a few days, no need for the king to counterattack, the army will be scattered."

"Can't you find anything to eat?"

"After this meal, I'm afraid there will be only cannibalism."

Tan Tai was shocked, if he really wanted to eat people, the green battalion soldiers would definitely mutiniate immediately, "What does Governor Zhang think?" ”

"General, now these more than 10,000 green battalions will definitely not be able to be taken away, Fujian has no men and horses who can save us, instead of spending here and destroying with the army, it will not break through tonight."

"Without a pontoon bridge, Ben Shuai can't fly to the river with his wings~"

Zhang Cunren whispered: "In order to build a pontoon bridge these days, although it has not been successful, there are a lot of rafts left, and the generals and soldiers of the Eight Banners can break through by rafts." ”

"How many people can a raft take across the river?" Tan Tai asked with a frown.

If he could bring a few thousand people, Zhang Cunren would not have whispered, and sure enough, he looked around, and then approached Tan Tai's ear and said, "Two hundred people, there should be no problem." ”

"Then you can bring the Yellow Armor Manchuria, and you can't even bring the Red Armor Mongolia."

"There's no way to do this, the raft can only bring so many people, if you let the Red Armor Mongolia and the Green Camp know, then the result will definitely be that no one can go."

"Didn't even Tian Xiong and Ma Degong be notified?"

"It is impossible for these two to surrender to the Ming, but the soldiers and horses are all thrown to the west bank, and it is useless to bring them back, leaving them can consume the Ming army and delay us for a while."

Trapped on the river beach, there are two days at most, the army will inevitably flee because of the lack of food, and if you stay, you can only be wiped out by the Ming army with more than 10,000 Qing soldiers, Tan Tai knows the trade-off, and nodded, "Just do what Governor Zhang wants, and the commander will break through tonight." ”

It was the fourth watch of the night, Tan Tai, Ah Shan, Zhang Cunren and others, and Huangjia Manchuria, nearly 200 people, took 20 rafts and quietly entered Mulan Creek.

The group paddled cautiously, the ripples of the wooden oars, under the illumination of the moonlight, sparkling and silver, they rowed from the river to the center of the river, and were not seen by the Ming army's sentinel boat, which made Tan Tai and the others secretly relieved.

But just as they continued to paddle to the east shore, a large dark boat suddenly stood in front of them.
