"Withdraw! Retreat!"

After a fierce battle, the Qing army saw that it was still unable to break through the Ming army camp, and the Ming army reinforcements seemed to be rushing towards this side, Tan Tai had to blow the horn of the collection of troops in order to avoid suffering greater casualties, signaling the Qing soldiers on the battlefield to start retreating.

Hearing the clarion call to retreat, Mel Zhangjing Kachuha hurriedly retreated a few steps back, avoiding the attack range of the Ming army in front of him, and the Manchurian soldiers beside him took advantage of the situation.

Then, Kachuha looked up at the green battalion soldiers in the other direction, and saw that the green battalion soldiers hurriedly covered the alternate retreat, and couldn't help but secretly scold the weakness of the green battalion soldiers in his heart, but he had no choice but to shout: "Retreat! Don't fight, leave with me!"

As soon as the words fell, he led his subordinates to retreat back under alternate cover, and the Russian garrison still wanted to pursue it, so it was obvious that they still kept order, so they gave up this idea and retreated into the camp, watching the Qing army fade like a tide.

A quarter of an hour later, the reinforcements under the mountain finally caught up, but when they arrived at the camp, all they saw were corpses all over the ground and soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield.

The reinforcements were the Chinese military camp led by Ma Xin himself, Ma Xin turned over and dismounted, looked at Yang Shouzhuang who was coming towards him, and said, "General Yang, have the Qing troops retreated?"

"They've all retreated." Yang Shouzhuang nodded and said, "I deduce that those Eight Banners soldiers are very likely to be the Eight Banners stationed in Nanjing City, and I have seen the leader of the Eight Banners in the city."

"Heh, you actually took the initiative to go out of the city and attack us." Ma Xin sneered, and then said, "General Yang, you go and bandage it first, and I will report to the Inspector and let the Inspector decide."

Yang Shouzhuang nodded and accepted Ma Xin's proposal, but then, he looked at Ma Xin, who had no intention of pursuing, and asked, "General Ma, aren't you going to go after it?"

"Why are you pursuing?" Ma Xin looked at him strangely and said, "The Qing army still retains its vital strength, so what's the use of me chasing it? I'm afraid that the pursuit will fall into the trap of the Qing army, and it will only increase the casualties."

After speaking, he paused and asked, "General Yang, in this battle, the number of casualties and beheadings will be handed over directly to me, and I will personally send them to the overseer."

"The decapitation is not clear." Yang Shouzhuang shook his head and said, "But our side has killed more than 400 people, and more than 300 people have been injured, most of them are caused by the arrows shot by the Eight Banners."

Thinking of the cluster of arrows shot by the Eight Banners, Yang Shouzhuang's face couldn't help but show a little jealousy, when the Eight Banners soldiers arrived, they would shoot iron arrows comparable to javelins, which could easily break through the armor, and the Mongolian Eight Banners archery skills were even more precise and accurate, which would cause them so many casualties.

Ma Xin is also a general of the Qing army, he also has some understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners, and he didn't feel strange when he saw the surprised look on Yang Shouzhuang's face, he just appeased a few words, and then returned to the mountain with a few personal soldiers to report the matter to Su Yan.

On the other side, Tan Tai, who had withdrawn outside the safety range, counted the casualties in the battle just now, and there was inevitably some blood in his heart, many of the green battalion soldiers under his command died in this battle, and most of them were killed by the terrible two-handed axe soldiers of the Ming army.

With such a bloody and cruel death, it is difficult not to make the survivors afraid, even if it is a veteran of a hundred battles who has killed many people, he will still feel terrified in the face of such a death.

This can also be seen from those Eight Banner soldiers, and their faces still have a relaxed look for the rest of their lives - this is simply too scary, the three-layer armor they wear can't protect themselves in front of those two-handed battle axes, and the other party fights with them with a bit of a life-for-life meaning.

The so-called horizontal crawling stunned, stunned and afraid of dying, they are the stunned, afraid of the Ming army's group of madmen who don't want to die.

Ka Chuha counted the retreating Qing soldiers, and his face was also replaced with a painful expression, each of the Manchurian Eight Banners is a very valuable soldier, and the death of one is distressed, if so many sacrifices are sacrificed to defeat the Ming army, it will be fine, but the problem is that they just fought a draw, or were they forced to retreat.

"General Pingnan." Kachuha looked at Tan Tai, who was a little sympathetic, and said sincerely, "The last general suggests that you should withdraw to the city, with the terrible combat strength of the Ming army, it is only a matter of time before you continue to stay in the Purple Mountain, and it is only a matter of time before you are wiped out by them."

Tan Tai couldn't help but smile bitterly, he also thought of this problem, but before getting Bolo's order, he didn't dare to retreat to the city without authorization, so he could only stick to the Purple Mountain.

Seeing Tan Tai's expression, how he didn't know what he was thinking, he couldn't help but sigh, prayed for Tan Tai in his heart, and prepared to retreat to Taipingmen, his task was to withdraw to the city regardless of whether the night attack was successful or not.

However, Kachuha was soon dumbfounded.

He led his army on the way to Taipingmen in the darkness of the night, when he met a messenger who came out of the city, and the messenger handed over to Kachuha a military document stamped with the seal of the general of Zhengnan, who ordered Kachuha not to return to Jiangning City, but to be under the command of Tan Tai and to defend the Purple Mountain together.

It turned out that after thinking about it, Bolo knew that the Green Battalion under Tan Tai alone would not be able to defend the Purple Mountain, so he asked Ka Chuha and his subordinates to stay on the Purple Mountain to help defend it, believing that with the addition of the Eight Banners, the difficulty of holding on would be much lessened.

After reading the military text, Ka Chuha had no choice but to dictate the results of tonight's battle to the messenger, asking him to return to the city to tell Bolo, and then lead the army back to the Purple Mountain.

……

The battle during the night did not affect the battle for the next day.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Su Yan sent the soldiers and horses under the command of Yang Chengzu, the chief soldier of Suzhou, and more than 5,000 infantry soldiers of the punishment battalion to join the ranks of attacking the mountain.

The large increase in the Ming army immediately attracted the attention of the Qing army, and Tan Tai immediately lined up his troops and placed layers of obstacles on the various mountain roads leading to the mountain on the mountainside.

The battle was the same as the day before, the Ming artillery took the lead in launching an artillery bombardment to the top of the mountain for a whole quarter of an hour, consuming a large number of shells and gunpowder, and the shells fired once again swept the Qing army camp, and broke many trees that had grown for many years, and the soldiers and horses deployed in the mountains were also shelled to varying degrees, and before the battle, the morale of the Qing army was hit.

After the artillery bombardment, the various units of the Ming army launched an attack on the mountain, and the second battle of attacking the mountain began again.
