Liu Yan didn't have many heads on his side, and the same was true for Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei's wings.

Yang Guozhu's department cut a total of more than 30 heads, and Hu Dawei's department only cut 25 heads of the Qing army, all of which were cut from the corpses of the Qing army left in the earthen wall, as for the wounded corpses of the Qing army outside the earthen wall, then there is no need to think about it, the Qing army had already taken them all away under the cover of the archers.

Indeed, when fighting in the field or defending a city, it is really difficult to capture the head of the opponent's soldiers. If it were not for an irretrievable rout, the corpses and wounded soldiers of both sides would have been snatched back by themselves. Unless there are unsalvageable enemy corpses, their heads will become trophies.

In addition to the corpses of the Qing army attacking the city wall, as well as the corpses within dozens of steps under the city, the remaining corpses and wounded soldiers will be snatched back by the Qing army themselves, or cremated, or transported back to their hometowns. Those Qing soldiers snatched back the bodies of their own soldiers during the war, which was a great achievement in the military law of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and if the corpses were transported back to their hometowns, they could get half of the other party's property.

Although the new army of Xiahezhai won the most in the Ming army, Liu Yan was not happy, only in the past few days of fighting, the casualties of his subordinates have been as high as more than 300 people, and the death rate has reached one-tenth. If such a ratio were placed in other armies, it would be enough to make it impossible for the whole army to continue fighting.

In the hand-to-hand combat alone, in a short period of time, more than 60 new troops of Xiahezhai died under the opponent's javelins and spears, and dozens of people were injured.

If the fierce fighting continues for a few more days, how much more will the soldiers in your own army lose? The more than 3,700 people under Liu Yan's command are all the elites of their own hard work, and each one of them is a seed that will take root and sprout in the land of China in the future, and every sacrifice at this time is an irreparable loss!

What worries Liu Yan even more is whether the Ming army on both wings can hold on in the face of such a fierce and brutal battle, and if they can't withstand the collapse, the 10,000 people by the river ......

Thinking of this, Liu Yan's face was already a little ugly, this time the Qing army's will to fight was far beyond his imagination, not only was there more troops than in the battle of Julu in history, but Dolgon's determination to win this battle was also beyond imagination, which made Liu Yan very surprised: Are these Tartars crazy?

After cleaning up the battlefield, Lu Xiangsheng ordered all departments to make fires and make meals to reward the soldiers.

However, the generals concentrated in the big tent of Lu Xiangsheng's Central Army were all gloomy and the atmosphere was dull.

Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei's faces were full of pain, and they were all shocked after they counted the officers and men in their army. From the fierce battle yesterday afternoon to the present, among the two people's army, Yang Guozhu's department has suffered nearly 500 casualties, and Hu Dawei's department has also suffered more than 400 casualties.

Although the number of casualties in the two-man army was only a small half, about 100 or a few dozen people each, and most of the rest were temporarily incapacitated by arrows. However, this day is freezing, and any small wound may cause these people to lose their lives. Probably half of the soldiers who were eventually injured did not survive.

The two of them each had about 2,000 soldiers, such a high casualty rate, strictly speaking, the main barracks of the two of them had been disabled, if they were replaced by other Ming armies, or when they fought in the wilderness, the two Ming armies would have collapsed long ago, and they would have fled for their lives.

After Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei counted the number of people, they added some people from the auxiliary soldiers to enter the combat team. However, most of those auxiliaries are military households in the guard, and they have added in to further reduce the combat effectiveness of the army, but the two of them have no choice, so they can only do this first.

Everyone present had their own concerns, and Zhang Yan, the general of the Xuanfu Staff, had been in Lu Xiangsheng's Central Military Headquarters and did not participate in the war. Of course, from tomorrow, he can no longer stay out of the matter, Yang Guozhu proposed that he have 2,000 people in the army, each with a part to assist in the defense of the left and right wings, and Hu Dawei immediately agreed.

Liu Yan's troops strictly guarded the front of the defense line, and the pressure they faced was the greatest, presumably they could not divide the troops and horses, and he had outstanding combat achievements, and his subordinates were brave and good at fighting, so naturally no one dared to rob his soldiers.

Zhang Yan, a staff general, who does not show anything on weekdays, naturally cannot disobey the proposal of the two general soldiers.

Liu Yan observed Zhang Yan at this time, and saw that he was still sitting majestically, quietly not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, Zhang Yan said: "It's the fifth day of our army's battle, and the enemy is outnumbered, and there are no reinforcements. Governor, two military gates, General Liu, why don't we break through from the Artemisia Bridge to the west, there are few enemies there, and with the courage of our Xuan army, we can break out of the encirclement. ”

Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Guozhu and the others had not yet spoken, and Liu Yanji said loudly: "Governor, don't do it!" My soldiers stick to the camp with all their spirit. If it retreats, the morale of the army will be lost, and tens of thousands of enemy cavalry will chase after it, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

This Zhang Yan is really dizzy, it is not as good as sticking to the walled city, this retreat and breakthrough must be a reproduction of the whole army fleeing for their lives and repeating the Battle of Songshan.

Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Guozhu, and Hu Dawei have many cavalry in the army, or they can flee quickly. There are many foot soldiers in his camp and Zhang Yan, and those who can escape with their lives will definitely not be one out of ten.

Moreover, the whole army fled, under the panic, the army's food and grass will definitely be lost, that is, Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei and others fled for a short time, this cold weather, hunger and cold, the cavalry in their army will also freeze to death, exhaustion, and starvation. Of the remaining soldiers, only a few can survive.

This is also the sinister intention of Dolgon and the others to surround Sanqueyi, so although there is an Artemisia Water Bridge, they can retreat to the west of Julu. However, Liu Yan and the others never dared to move this idea, and the only way out was to continue to fight to the end, so that Dolgon and the others would retreat. Perhaps reinforcements arrived, and the siege could also be lifted.

Take the initiative to evacuate, you can't think about it, that's a dead end!

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng understood this truth, and he said sharply: "Although the slaves and thieves are powerful, our army sticks to the camp, and there may not be no hope of survival. Although our army suffered great losses, but the damage of the slaves and thieves was greater, as General Liu said, stick to the camp, and the enemy suffered the greatest casualties, and after the reinforcements of the senior supervision army arrived, our army attacked inside and outside, and the slaves and thieves could be eliminated with one drum, and I had no worries about the east. ”

After speaking, Lu Xiangsheng looked around at everyone and said sternly: "This is the time to sacrifice their lives to serve the country, all the generals need to kill the enemy bravely. ”

Zhang Yan was shocked and knelt on the ground, and Nuo Nuo said yes.

After Lu Xiangsheng scolded him, he encouraged everyone again, and to be honest, he could only talk about the current situation of the enemy in front of the battle.

By the time the Ming Dynasty arrived, the situation of civil nobility and military cheapness had long been gone, especially for a group of powerful generals and warlords, those civil officials had long since changed from the previous casual command to a low-voiced and even compromised. With Lu Xiangsheng's prestige in Xuanda, he had to try his best to motivate the generals to fight bravely and extinguish the idea of preserving their strength in their hearts.

Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei are both veterans, and of course they understand the scourge of retreating and breaking through. The end of the retreat is the annihilation of the whole army, and even if half of the people are killed in the battle, at least part of the seeds in the army can be retained.

However, there is no way to go on like this, so we have to count on Gao Qidive, and everyone is talking about when the reinforcements from Guanning will arrive.

Liu Yan listened quietly to everyone's discussions, but his heart was extremely resentful, it had been five days, he didn't believe that Gao Qiqian and the others had not received the news of asking for help. Are they still watching? In their hearts, it is so important for the party to fight against differences, and the party is better than all state affairs?

If the Ming Dynasty is in charge of such a scourge, then he has to think about the future, either self-reliance, or control the government, anyway, he can't let the Donglin Party, or Gao Qiqian continue to dominate the court, and take Huaxia into the abyss!

Now that Xuanda and Shandong are trapped alone, the most feared thing is that there is no news from the outside world, and even if Gao Qiqian and others make a gesture, it can also greatly encourage the morale of the army, is Gao Qiqian that eunuch not even willing to do this?

To the east of the camp of the Ming army, the tents densely covered by the Qing army stretched from the Zhangshui River to the front of the camp for several miles.

In the sea of tents and flags that seemed to be beyond the horizon, in Dolgon's luxurious fiery gold-roofed tent, the Qing generals who were full of tents were deliberating, and the banner owners of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Mongolia were reporting the casualties under their banners.

Among the various units of the Qing army besieging the Ming army camp in Julu, there were all the armies of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the White Flag, the White Flag, and the Blue Flag. Du Du, the owner of the Eight Banners Manchurian Red Banner and Engetu, the owner of the Eight Banners Mongolian Red Banner, stayed in Tongzhou to defend the retreat for the army. However, they have already sent some soldiers to escort a few huge Hongyi cannons, which will be there soon.

In addition to these Eight Banners Manchurian Army, there were also all the troops of the Eight Banners Mongolian Yellow Banner, Yellow Banner, White Banner, White Banner, Blue Banner, Blue Banner, and Red Banner in the Qing camp. There are also the Three Banners Army of the Outer Domain, and more than a dozen small tribes in the Northeast and the Mongolian Plateau that surrendered and attached.

In addition, there were more than 20,000 Aha miscellaneous soldiers, and if these people were counted, the Qing soldiers besieging the Xuanda camp numbered more than 74,000 people.

Today's attack on the camp of the Ming army, Dolgon's Zhengbai Banner led the Mongolian Karaqin Department, the Eight Banners Mongolian Zhengbai Banner, the inlaid white flag, and some small tribes in the northeast, that is, part of the Eight Banners of Butha, plus more than 3,000 Aha and other miscellaneous soldiers attacked the front of Liu Yan's defense.

The blue flag lord Zierharang led most of the soldiers of the banner, and the Mongolian Tu of the outer domain was on the right wing of the eight banners of Mongolia Zhenghuang Banner and Yellow Banner, some of the small tribes were subordinated, plus more than 4,000 Aha and other miscellaneous servants attacked the left wing of Yang Guozhu.

Most of Yue Tuo's red flags, the Mongolian Tu of the outer domain is on the left wing, the eight banners of Mongolia are blue flags, inlaid blue flags, plus more than 4,000 Aha and other miscellaneous servants attack the right flank of Hu Dawei's defense.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria with white flags, Duoduo, did not go to war, led the army to stay in the camp, supervised the bannermen and miscellaneous servants to make equipment, and plundered grain, grass, and baggage everywhere.

"In today's battle, our army suffered 887 casualties among the warriors of each banner, including 100 armor men and 14 banner men, and 128 banner soldiers...... This is the report of Zilharang, the owner of the blue flag.

As a general of Yangwu, Yue Tuo is theoretically on an equal footing with Dolgon, so naturally there is no need to report anything to Dolgon, but he also ventilated to everyone: "...... Seven hundred and fifty-three warriors of each banner were killed, including 124 in armor and 94 in banners......"

Dolgon's expression was calm, and after listening to the casualty figures of each banner, he was still relieved, fortunately, the number of casualties among the warriors of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Mongolia was not large. This battle can continue to be fought.

Some people died, but not completely......
