The fire in the Sanwan camp was raging, and the heat wave in the camp was rolling, and at some points, everything in front of me seemed to be shaking like a wave, people became distorted, and those tents, fences, and so on were also crumbling. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

There were no Qing troops left near Sanwan, and all the units pursued by the Taiping army also received orders to stop the pursuit one after another. In the darkness of the night, it is difficult for the fleeing side, and it is also difficult for the pursuing side. Although the Taiping army had tried to improve the food of the soldiers as much as possible, this winter, it was a river-crossing operation, and it was impossible to replenish vegetables in time, so it could not carry out a long night battle. Leaving the torches, many recruits are blinded. The most important thing is that from top to bottom, everyone is tired, and if they don't rest, I'm afraid that they will increase some non-war injuries.

The orders received by the various departments were to assemble in Sanwan, and when Zhou Shixiang came from Gaomin Temple, there were groups of soldiers escorting the captives back along the way. Some of the dozen soldiers dared to escort hundreds of Qing troops away, but none of those Qing soldiers dared to escape, let alone have the courage to resist. Come to think of it, this battle completely destroyed the courage of these Qing troops.

When he arrived at Sanwan, Zhou Shixiang met with the two white flag generals who were introduced by the Manchurian officers such as Gong Jian Se, and he highly praised these two white flag Manchurian soldiers, and reiterated some of the words he had said to Gong Jian Se in the past, which made the two white flag officers who were worried in their hearts settle down. Many officers of the two white flags asked for orders and said that they were willing to take Yangzhou for His Royal Highness the King of Qi, on the grounds that Yangzhou City might not know about the two white flags now.

This idea is the same as the original Suna in Xiangshan Shenwan to dedicate the city of Guangzhou, but Zhou Shixiang did not adopt, although this battle is a big victory, but still ran away a lot of Manchurian cavalry, this may be Yangzhou Shunzhi already knows the situation here, so let the two white flags to attack the city is not much sure. Moreover, the soldiers were no longer able to go north to seize Yangzhou. You can't become a fat man by eating in one bite, after the battle, the results of the battle have made Zhou Shixiang overjoyed, and if he is greedy, I'm afraid his stomach will have to hold on.

In the Sanwan camp, many people who were forcibly recruited by the Qing army were buried in the fire. They were innocent people, and most of them were forced by the Huai'an soldiers to rush to the Mongolian barracks and cause chaos and die. Some of the survivors were sheltered by the Taiping army on the periphery, helping to do some miscellaneous auxiliary work, and this fate was saved. Some are still trapped in the fire, the Qing army's large camp is very large, it is supposed to accommodate tens of thousands of Qing troops, the front and back of the battalion are several miles long, and there are small rivers in some places. If there is no one to lead the way, you will rush in, and you will not be able to find your target for a while.

About 600 or so men gathered at a small river between the Mongol and Han camps, surrounded by burning tents, and the river became the only safe place. The heat wave made the cold wind warm up, and the men who had been forcibly recruited from their homes in the countryside sat or stood and watched as the huge camp was burned to the ground. They don't worry about their own lives, because they are just masters, whether it is the Ming army or the Qing army, they are always needed to clean the battlefield and carry supplies. Some of the brave men even touched the fire and began to search for valuable things, and some touched the gold and silver left in the camp by the Qing soldiers, and immediately felt ecstasy, and then quickly put it into their arms, and returned to the river as if nothing happened. Others asked him if he had found anything, and he spread his hands in vain.

Some of the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers trapped in the fire were no longer able to break out, and the Taiping troops outside gave up the idea of snatching grain and grass, and were not willing to pay for unnecessary casualties to attack it, so they guarded the camp that was not on fire, searching for useful supplies, and strictly guarding the trapped Manchu and Mongolian soldiers.

The Manchurian soldiers now have no object even for their desperate efforts, and everyone looks at everything in front of them stupidly, watching the fire approaching them little by little, and watching this big battalion just come to naught. One by one, the flags were drawn by the fire brought by the wind and burned on the flagpoles.

In the minds of the Manmeng soldiers, they have been abandoned, and no one will save them anymore. The Ming army will not, and neither will their own people. Whether they were burned or choked to death in the end, it was their fate, and they were destined to accept it, because they should not have been here, their homeland was in the north.

When the fire was imminent, Azig's son, Fu Lehe, the prince of Zhenguo, put the blood-stained knife in his hand under his chin and cut his own neck. Before he died, he had no expression on his face at all, and could even be said to be sluggish or numb.

The suicide of Fourh made many Manchu soldiers even more desperate, and many chose the same path. After the war, the people found many charred corpses here, and many of the corpses had their necks cut open.

Zhou Shixiang turned over from the Daqing horse and led a group of generals to the periphery of the camp, and the surrounding camp tents were full of wounded soldiers, most of whom were Huai'an soldiers. The wounded soldiers screamed and bled all over the ground, and many of the camps fell to their feet, and when they were lifted, there was sticky blood on the soles of their feet.

The field hospital of the Taiping Army was set up in the water camp of Guazhou, dozens of miles away from here, and the wounded soldiers could only be transported to Guazhou by the sailors for treatment if they were first sent to the ancient canal of Gaomin Temple. The guards who accompanied the army could only bandage them simply, and the medicine only had some golden medicine to stop bleeding, so they couldn't give these wounded soldiers too much treatment, so they could only arrange for rush transportation. Whether they can survive or not depends on their own luck and will to survive.

Lu Rulong, Wu Ming, and the wounded Chen Erlang and other Huai'an Green Battalion generals came to see Zhou Shixiang under the arrangement of the Military Intelligence Department. Like the two white flags anyway, Zhou Shixiang also highly praised them, but God knows what he thinks of these generals in his heart.

After meeting these generals of the green battalion anyway, Zhou Shixiang inquired about the situation of the Qing army in the camp who were still resisting, and finally ordered not to pay attention to these Manchu soldiers, let them be burned to death by the fire, and those who came out to surrender did not accept.

The third town reported the news of Geng Jingzhong's death in battle, Zhou Shixiang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then sighed and ordered to find a high-quality coffin to wrap Geng Jingzhong's body and transport it back to Nanjing for burial. I was very entangled in my heart, and I didn't know how to tell Shi Yuanling about it.

Later, Zhou Shixiang ordered the periphery of the first town to be guarded, and the rest of the troops rested outside the Qing army camp that was not on fire, and waited for the next step after dawn. In the case of captures and seizures, each ministry is responsible for arranging its own personnel.

In this battle, the results were extremely brilliant, and Zhou Shixiang estimated that he could capture 10,000 or 20,000 prisoners alone.

More than ten miles northwest of the Sanwan camp, on a small bridge, Ao Bai was also looking at the Sanwan that was red by the firelight.

There were thousands of Manchu and Mongolian troops who withdrew here with Aobai, and in the process of retreating, they showed the true colors of the elite of the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, moved quickly, and arranged alternate cover, and fled all the way, only one hundred and ten people were scattered, which was quite rare in the dark night.

After Ao Bai arrived at the Erhe Bridge, he let the other generals lead the troops first, and he stayed here to cushion the back. After waiting for half an hour, the last army of soldiers and horses withdrew, which was a cavalry of the Han army, with all banners, and the number was about six or seven hundred. Not far behind them, there were some cavalry of the Taiping Army, but they only followed from a distance, and had no intention of coming up to intercept them. Looking at them like that, they say that they are giving away, and they don't look like chasing people.

Ao Bai looked at the faint Taiping cavalry in the night with a gloomy face, snorted, and ordered people to pile up hay and branches at the head of the bridge and burn the bridge. After the Taiping army on the opposite side found out that the Qing army was going to burn the bridge, they did not come to stop it, and let the Qing army move.

None of the Qing troops who successfully picked up their lives and escaped had a sense of rejoicing, and they silently walked past Aobai on horseback. In the night, there was no sound except the sound of horses' hooves.

The flames at the head of the bridge grew louder and louder, and the bridge, which was originally a wooden bridge, was soon led to a beep and burst sound.

Surrounded by a group of guards Goshha, Ao Bai beat the horse and ran north. In front of them were Qing troops with torches.

Tens of thousands of troops were defeated like this, and they were defeated in a mess.

Ao Bai was unwilling, he didn't think that his incompetence led to the fiasco, but that Taiping Kou's weapons were too powerful. Along the way, he thought a lot, but he couldn't guess what Taiping Kou's extremely powerful weapon was and how it was made. If it was possible, even if it cost ten thousand dollars, he would have to figure out the doorway to this weapon.

The closer they got to Yangzhou City, the more ashamed they became, and the Manchurian generals who had returned all felt that today's battle was the greatest shame of their lives.

None of them knew how to face the emperor.

Suddenly, Ao Bai stopped, stood motionless on his horse, and the muscles on his face twitched.

Ibaitu, Tuntai and other Manchurian generals were also silent, and occasionally someone would cough, but they quickly resisted the urge to cough, bit their lips tightly, and never wanted to make a movement again.

Everyone's eyes were on Aobai, which made Aobai feel more and more painful.

There was the sound of horses' hooves ahead, but it was the first-class guard Lang Tan who brought someone to meet them.

Lang Tan looked at the retreating generals, and he didn't know what to say, he stepped forward and opened his mouth, and said with difficulty: "Ao Shaobao, the emperor..."

Ao Bai didn't speak, Lang Tan swallowed in his throat and swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach.

In the middle of the sound, Ao Bai suddenly said fiercely: "It's a big thing, I'll go to the master to die by myself!" ”

After speaking, he clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse under his crotch neighed and ran forward.
