Wu Sangui's escape caused the entire Ming army to be in chaos. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoThe fear of Keng, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, because he had not suffered any big losses in the skirmishes one after another, suddenly exploded. When Hong Chengchou finally managed to control the army, he found that the army of more than 100,000 people was only more than 40,000 people left after this night, and most of the others did not know where to run in the chaos.

According to the original plan, Hong Chengchou was supposed to launch a breakthrough as soon as it was dawn. However, the chaos of this night made the original plan completely messed up, Wu Sangui, who he originally arranged, was going to be used as an arrow to break through at dawn the next day, ran away, and Tang Tong, who was used to protect the flank, also ran away. The rest of the people were also terrified one by one, even Cao Bianjiao, who had always been brave.

What's more, now the remaining armies are also in chaos, and the soldiers cannot find generals, and they will not find soldiers, and they are completely out of control. In the daytime, to break through in such a state is almost the same as sending to death. So although it was already dawn now, the breakout could not be organized immediately. It took a whole morning for Hong Chengchou to finally restore the general organization of the army - at least, the generals and their families were in order.

While rectifying the team, Hong Chengchou did not forget to exclude the detective to see what Jianshen was doing. There were a lot of scouts sent out, but the Manchu side reacted obviously faster than him, and they had already scattered a large number of cavalry to cover the battlefield. The scouts were attacked by the Jianxian cavalry almost as soon as they went out, so most of the scouts who came back found nothing, and it was not until noon that one of the scouts ran back with two arrows stuck in his back, bringing back a piece of news that made everyone almost desperate:

"Master Overseer, Jianshen has dug a trench behind us, and this trench is now more than a zhang wide. As for how deep it is, the villain can't see it clearly, and where it stretches, the villain doesn't have time to see clearly. However, the official road has long been cut off. The villain looked all the way over, but he couldn't find a gap in the trench......"

After that, scouts sent from several other directions came back one after another, and they also brought back news that they had also discovered the trench. The news made everyone's hearts sink. Everyone knew that a day ago, there was no such trench in these places, and in just one day, Jianshen completed the excavation of such a trench, which only shows one problem -- that is, the manpower and material resources that Jianshen can use now far exceed the expectations of Hong Chengchou and others.

"Inspector, without further ado, let's break through immediately!" Cao Bianjiao said.

Among the remaining people, Cao Bianjiao's army was the best in terms of organization, training, and equipment. In the chaos of this morning, his army was also chaotic, but the losses received were also minimal, at least his family team was not chaotic. Therefore, if a breakthrough is launched immediately, his army, or at least his family, will be able to move immediately.

"General Cao, now that the enemy situation is unknown, we ...... again" It was Wang Tingchen who spoke.

If it weren't for Hong Chengchou coming to his military tent last night, I'm afraid that he would have followed Wu Sangui and the others at that time. But at this time, he spoke up against it and immediately broke through.

In the eyes of Cao Bianjiao and Hong Chengchou, Wang Tingchen's performance is actually not strange. They all knew what the courtiers thought. In Wang Tingchen's opinion, if he escaped overnight last night, the black lights were blinding, and everyone was almost as likely to run out. And now, his army is obviously weaker, and it can't do the things of the front, and can only be used to protect the flanks. At that time, if it doesn't stand out, it's fine, even if it is prominent, most of the Jianshen will chase and kill. When the time comes, Cao Bianjiao will definitely not care about them, and will only run back with his family members one by one. It's like being chased by a tiger, Cao Bianjiao definitely can't outrun the tiger Jianxuan, but he can definitely run faster than the others.

In fact, if it was just to lose some soldiers, Wang Tingchen didn't care. But Wang Tingchen was worried that his family had lost too much. He is not richer than Cao Bianjiao, and his family has horses.

"General Soldier Wang, if you hesitate now, when Jianxuan consolidates the encirclement, you know if there is an army that can be used to save us in this world." Hong Chengchou opened his mouth, "If we don't break through as soon as possible, we will die." I know what you're worried about, Mr. Wang. If the official is defeated in this battle, he will naturally be investigated and punished by the imperial court. Nothing else dares to make a guarantee like the general. However, the official can guarantee that when the official gives the saint a letter, he will never put the responsibility on the general's head. ”

Hong Chengchou knew that what Wang Tingchen was most worried about at this time was not that all the family members were lost, but what he was most worried about was the consequences after all the family members were lost-without these forces, everyone would put the responsibility on his head at that time. Such a big defeat will definitely be pursued by the imperial court. If those guys who run out, even the ones who take the lead in escaping, as long as they still have obedient and capable of beating the family in their hands, it won't be long before they can get a team. And now the imperial court has no choice but to do anything about the generals who still have soldiers in their hands, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the court will investigate their crimes, and it will be a general like him who has no army in his hands who will really be killed. That's why he said such a thing, but whether these words had any effect or not, Hong Chengchou was not sure in his heart.

"Where do the adults say, where do the young generals dare to think like this? The youngster's concern is just that it is really difficult to prepare in this hurry. Wang Tingchen said, "The young general thought, this breakthrough must be concentrated with all his strength, otherwise, most of them will not be able to break through Jianxuan's defense." If the governor can trust the young general, the young general is willing to bring the elite of the headquarters and play a side drum for General Cao. I just want to be able to take out a few of the best boys. This is also to leave a capable army for my Ming Dynasty. ”

Hong Chengchou glanced at Cao Bianjiao, and then asked: "It's just that this flank also needs to be managed, I don't know what General Wang's plans are?" ”

"My lord, the flanking junior will naturally arrange for his lieutenant generals to take him. It will not drag the adults back. The young general led his family, followed behind the adult, and made a reserve for the adult. What do you think, my lord? ”

……

"Zilharang, you see, the Ming army has come out. How's that, have the confidence to block them not? Huang Taiji stood on a high platform, looking at the Ming army in the distance, and said to Zilharang.

"The emperor can rest assured, the Ming army has lost its courage, and it will definitely not be able to rush out." Zilharang said with confidence.

"It's better to be careful," Huang Taiji said, "As the so-called trapped beast is still fighting, don't be careless." ”
