In the darkness, the sudden attacks and chaos, coupled with the sneak attacks of soldiers who flocked to the enemy and us, made the assembly barely organized by the Ming army useless. Moreover, as the camp became more and more chaotic, some of the Ming army that had just assembled were attacked by the disguised Qing army, which made the Ming soldiers even more panic.

As the fire continued to ignite, the gunpowder of the Ming army in the camp was also ignited, and violent explosions came one after another, and the entire camp could no longer control it...

"How many people are there in the Qing army?" Huang Dian asked with a dark face.

Zhang Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How could he know that the incident happened suddenly, the entire camp was in chaos, and there were chaos everywhere, maybe tens of thousands or more."

Huang Dian was speechless. After a long time of trouble, Zhang Yi of the Qing army was defeated in a daze. However, under that circumstances, Zhang Yi could not tell. The entire camp was in chaos and was full of killing everywhere. It was a lucky thing to be able to run out safely.

Because he couldn't understand the number of Qing soldiers in Tangzhuang, and the chaotic situation in Tangzhuang, Huang Dian did not dare to lead his troops directly into Tangzhuang. After arriving at Tangzhuang, Huang Dian sent some troops to tentatively advance towards the camp, and at the same time asked other troops to gather the defeated soldiers in all directions, and paid attention to the Qing army that was dressed up as the Ming army to prevent the recurrence of the tragic situation in Tangzhuang.

The closer the Tangzhuang, the more chaotic the situation in the camp became. However, after the arrival of Huangdian's troops, the Ming soldiers who were unknown to the southeast, west and north, had a backbone. Some hysterical soldiers gradually calmed down and began to gather in one direction as the command of Huangdian's troops.

But it was not until another hour later that when Zhu Yigui's main force arrived in Tangzhuang, the chaos in Tangzhuang was fundamentally improved, and the chaos gradually returned to calm. The Ming army began to clean up the mess. When the next day, the Ming army that arrived rushed into Tangzhuang one after another, began to put out the fire and rescue and count the losses.

Zhu Yigui, who had not slept all night, had his face turned pale. His central army did not enter the camp. In fact, the Tangzhuang camp is now in ruins and he can no longer garrison troops.

"Boss..." Huang Dian walked over quickly, and Zhu Yigui stood up and asked, "What is the result of the preliminary inventory?"

Huang Dian shook his head, his face very ugly: "More than 6,000 people were collected, of which about 2,000 were injured, more than 4,000 dead in the camp, and the rest were probably scattered outside and have not been found yet..."

Hearing this number, Zhu Yigui's face was distorted. You should know that there were 15,000 Ming troops in the Tangzhuang camp. The number of deaths confirmed only exceeded 4,000. In addition, if the nearly 5,000 people who fled outside could be found, it can be said that the main force of the Ming troops in the Tangzhuang was hit by a devastating blow.

"Where is Gao Zhiguo? Where is he?" Zhu Yigui's eyes burst out with anger. As the leader of the Tang Manor, Gao Zhiguo cannot escape any of this situation. Zhu Yigui wished he could not marching and slash this guy with one knife.

Huang Dian swallowed but didn't say anything.

"Speak! Where is Gao Zhiguo? Where is this bad guy? Are you alive or dead?" Zhu Yigui asked in anger.

"Deputy Gao Zhen... He was killed..." Huang Dian said then, and then told Zhu Yigui that when cleaning the camp, Gao Zhiguo's body was found. The dignified deputy general of the Ming army was really not very dead. He was actually slapped in the neck with a knife.

Judging from his expression of death with his eyes closed, it seemed that it was a very accident before his death. Judging from the situation on the scene, Gao Zhiguo was probably plotted by the Ming army who was wearing makeup when he tried to summon soldiers after the chaos began. Perhaps he was not wearing a military uniform because of the emergency situation. In addition, the chaos and darkness at that time, the other party did not recognize his identity and thought he was just an ordinary officer of the Ming army.

Otherwise, Gao Zhiguo's head would have been cut off long ago. You must know that he was the chief general of the Ming army in Tangzhuang! But even so, a war-produced general was actually attacked by the enemy on the battlefield and died, which was the greatest shame for Gao Zhiguo.

Upon learning about Gao Zhiguo's death, Zhu Yigui was stunned for a moment, and his raised hand fell down weakly. The anger in his expression gradually faded away. After a while, he could only sigh and wave his hand to let His Highness Huang go.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that when Tangzhuang Camp had been barely cleaned, Zhu Yigui walked into the place himself. Looking around, the entire camp was covered with ruins. Although the fire was extinguished, there were still blue smoke everywhere. On the open space compiled by the camp, corpses were quietly placed there. These corpses were the corpses of Ming soldiers, arranged neatly as they were before their lifetime, but they could no longer stand up.

The body of Deputy General Gao Zhiguo was also among them. However, compared to ordinary soldiers, Gao Zhiguo's body was covered with a piece of white cloth. Zhu Yigui walked forward, squatted down and uncovered the white cloth. Gao Zhiguo's face was exposed.

As Huang Dian said, Gao Zhiguo did not expect that he would die like this before his death, so his face remained the expression of his life until the moment he died. There were doubts, surprises, incredibles, anger and unwillingness in this expression.

His eyes widened wide and the light in his eyes had long dissipated with his master's life. Zhu Yigui looked at him intently for a long time and reached out to try to help Gao Zhiguo close his eyes, but he tried twice but failed.

With a sigh, Zhu Yigui whispered: "I'll avenge you! You can go with peace of mind." After that, he stroked his hand on Gao Zhiguo's eyelids. This time, maybe Gao Zhiguo's spirit in heaven heard Zhu Yigui's promise and finally closed his eyes quietly.

After getting up, Zhu Yigui ordered to continue searching for the lost Ming army, and to further clean up and rebuild the Tangzhuang camp. In addition, regarding the situation in Tangzhuang, Zhu Yigui had written a memorial and handed it over to the navy to take it to Jiangnan, and rushed to Nanjing.

In the Battle of Tangzhuang, the careless Ming army suffered heavy losses. Since the deputy general Gao Zhiguo, the Ming army was killed by 4,317, survivors, and more than 2,000 missing people. Not counting these, more serious is that more than 90% of the materials stockpiled by Tangzhuang were destroyed, including not only a large amount of food and grass, but also the Ming army's gunpowder depot and other supplies.

In addition, the Yangtze River Navy lost three transport ships, five warships, and two other warships were damaged and needed to be repaired. Although these losses were not much for the huge Ming Dynasty, they were of great importance to some battlefields in Jiangbei.
