After the casualties, it was almost dark, and the sky floated again in the sky and could no longer walk. Nikan had to order the Qing army to retreat to the other side of the stone bridge to camp. Fortunately, there were only half of the grain trucks crossing the bridge. In the queen, all the grain trucks finally returned.

On the other end of the dense forest, thousands of Ming troops walked out happily. The Qing army had 15,000 elite troops. With the combat power of 20,000 Ming troops, if they wanted to eat, they might not be able to eat. However, their own casualties would definitely not be small. Gao Jie, Weng Zhiqi, and Wang Gongluo decided on the strategy of killing and fighting. This time, only 5,000 people from the Tiger Camp were dispatched, and thousands of enemies were wiped out in one fell swoop and nearly 2,000 were injured, which undoubtedly achieved great success.

That night, the Qing army spent an unforgettable night with groans. Early the next morning, when the Qing army set off again, Nikan sent thousands of Qing troops to search the dense forest before he could travel with peace of mind. When he passed through the dense forest again, Nikan was still full of confusion. His scouts searched at least a dozen times. Why can so many Ming soldiers hide in it and not be discovered?

After a fierce gunfire, the five Qing army scouts fell down four people. The other hurriedly turned his horse's head and walked backwards, shouting: "Enemma, there is an enemy."

"Where is the enemy?" Dozens of Qing soldiers behind followed, and the terrified scout pointed to the place where the companion fell just now and said, "The enemy is there."

Sure enough, under the drizzle, seven red figures were running backwards.

"Chasing." Four robes died. What's wrong? Dozens of Qing soldiers chased forward without thinking.

"Boom." After chasing a hill, more than a dozen black spots were thrown out from behind the hills. After a fierce explosion, dozens of Qing troops had already suffered casualties. The other half of the Qing troops had not yet come back to their senses from the explosion. The gunshots rang out, and the rest of the Qing troops also fell down.

"Report, Prince, the Ming army was sent out from five miles in front of the right, and our scout was attacked."

"Report, the army was sent three miles away from the left."

"Report the Ming army from behind the team."

...

For a moment, the feelings spread to Nikan like water. There were Ming army figures everywhere. Nikan raised his hand: "Stop. All grain teams stop moving forward for the time being."

The convoy stopped slowly and took most of the day. The entire convoy was less than ten miles away. The rear of the grain truck land was still parked not far from the dense forest where the attacked yesterday.

A team of about 3,000 people left the grain team and rushed forward to find the enemy troops. After a brief battle, the Ming army retreated. Nikan, received the rear area, breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the convoy to continue moving forward.

"Bang!" Dozens of Qing soldiers' chests were bleeding and they fell to the ground. Gunshots were from dozens of steps from the farmlands in other places. Hundreds of Ming soldiers suddenly appeared in the farmlands in the empty farmlands just now.

Seeing his companions fall like this, a team of Qing soldiers was furious and rushed into the farmland on war horses. But they immediately meant that they had made an unforgivable mistake, and their legs were trapped in the farmland and could not move. The Ming army in front calmly loaded ammunition, and under the eyes of tens of thousands of Qing troops, they rushed to the hundreds of Qing troops into the farmland. The Qing army fell down at every moment. Although these Qing troops also fought back desperately with bows and arrows, the bows and arrows they shot were easily avoided by the Ming army.

It was not until several teams of Qing troops walked down the fields that the Ming troops left unhurriedly, and more than fifty people fell from the hundreds of Qing troops who had just been trapped in the farmland.

Next, the Ming army's attacks were everywhere, with the grasslands, farmlands, and hills. Sometimes they caused dozens of people to die in the Qing army, sometimes only a few casualties, and sometimes they were completely empty guns, which made the Qing army's grain transport team nervous. When the Qing army brigade attacked, the Ming army's horses were gone. The Qing army was chasing for fear of falling into the Ming army's ambush circle, and they were unwilling to not pursue them. It was not true that they were chasing them, nor were they not pursued.

Three days passed, and the Qing army was trapped after walking less than twenty miles. In these three days, they were attacked by the Ming army hundreds of times, but each time they were not seriously injured, but the total amount was a big deal. Within three days, thousands of Qing soldiers died under the attack of the Ming army, and more than 2,000 were injured.

Nikan's troops had dropped to 1,300 people, including 4,000 disabled people. Most of the time, all the injured and uninjured Qing soldiers were tense and exhausted these days.

"Your Majesty, you can't leave anymore. You must send someone to report to the emperor's father, and ask the emperor's father, to send troops to help. Otherwise, in a few days, the Batulus in Manchuria will not even have the strength to pick up the weapons." Xifu advised Nikan.

At this time, the grain transport team finally walked out of the encirclement of dense forests and farmlands, and stationed in an open area. This open area was mostly stones. Although it rained for more than ten days in a row, the ground was strong. Only in this open area did the Qing army not be afraid of the Ming army attacking everywhere. However, they were also trapped here by the Ming army for a night. If they did not leave, the Ming army's encirclement would shrink more and more

I'm afraid this place will do it.

Nikan's eyes were deep and covered with blood. He was no longer angry when he was attacked at first, but was helpless. Through these days of confrontation, Nikan had already understood that the enemy's strength was above him. The reason why he did not attack was that he adopted the wolves tactic, weakening the power of his prey step by step, and then launching a fatal blow when the prey was weak.

This tactic was originally superbly used by the people, but he didn't expect that it would be used by the Ming army today. Sometimes he really wanted to throw these grain trucks down and have a decisive battle with the Ming army. However, thinking about the situation in the camp, Nikan knew that this batch of grain must not be missed, so he could only helplessly watch the Ming army shrinking the shackles around his neck.

Hearing Xifu's advice, he nodded weakly: "Tell me the king's order and immediately send a messenger to ask the emperor's father, the regent for help."

Although he boasted that Haikou would definitely transport food and grass safely, it was no longer the time for him to save face. The distance from here to Tianjin was only more than 80 miles, and the slowest messenger could always arrive in half a day. In addition to the time for the camp to send troops, it would take at most two more days, so Nikan was still sure.

In order to prevent the Ming army from intercepting, a cavalry of 2,000 people was sent. Although many places needed to walk, there were still some sections of the official road for cavalry to rush or fight. Cavalry were sent. Nikan also hoped that this cavalry could arrive at the camp as soon as possible.

"~, Marquis, the Tartar cavalry were dispatched." A scout came to Gao Jie to report.

"Transfer to the commander to intercept this cavalry."

"After the order." The scout who received his order ran forward quickly.

At this time, all 20,000 troops of the Ming army had been dispatched and distributed around the Qing army. Although both Gao Jie and Weng Zhiqi thought that their subordinates were elites of the Ming Dynasty, after these days of combat, Gao Jie and Weng Zhiqi still saw the gap between their subordinates and the Yulin Guard. The strength of the Yulin Guard lies in the fact that their discipline has penetrated into everyone's blood. They can complete the instructions of the main general even if it seems so inhumane.

This discipline cannot be compared with just bravery. Under Gao Jie's leadership, the Tong Iron Camp can walk 400 miles in the rain for four days and participate in a battle in the middle. However, if a person is replaced, the combat power of the Tong Iron Camp may soon drop by several%, and the same is true for Weng Zhiqi's subordinates. However, if a Tiger Camp has a short-term impact, it will soon be able to recover tens of its strength.

"Please wait for Xingping, and I will ensure that the task is completed." The prince grinned slightly and smiled.

If you want to implement the wolf-pack tactic, you must be stronger than the other party and have better endurance. Otherwise, you will become a tiger but a tiger will become a dog, and you will first drag yourself down. These days, the tiger camp suddenly came first and then took on the main task of attacking the Qing army, but no Yulin Guard said he was tired. Not to mention two thousand people, even if it was several times more, Wang Gongluo believed that his subordinates could deal with it.

"Roar! Bounce out." Seeing the Ming army appear to stop him, the Qing army led the troops shouted loudly.

The Tiger Camp chose to intercept the Qing army about twenty miles away from the Nikan Grain Team, which was a fatal distance. With the current road conditions, the cavalry would have to walk for an hour. This means that if Nikan didn't want a mistake in his grain cart, he would basically not send many soldiers to support the troops and could only rely on their own abilities to rush out.

The horse's hooves made a grunt and grunt sound on the official road was much faster than the infantry charge. With the weight of the war horses, such a charge still had a lot of momentum.

Facing the Qing cavalry that was only more than a hundred steps away from him, the tiger camp lined up in a row ignored it and just pointed it straight ahead with a musket.

"Shoot!" The officer in front of him commanded the knife to slash.

"Bang!" The smoke of gunpowder filled, and a metal storm seemed to storm in front of the Ming army. He had a close contact with the oncoming Qing cavalry. In an instant, the Qing cavalry that was rushing forward beat, and countless war horses fell down with a huge hammer and smashed a piece of tofu. A large piece was missing in front of the Qing army that was charging.

"Roar, rush again." Seeing that his subordinates were suffering heavy casualties, the Qing army Meile Zhangjing still bit his subordinates and continued to attack. More than an hour passed, and hundreds of cavalry returned to the Qing army's ration truck in panic.

"Prince, the enemy is intercepting us in front, we can't rush out." A Qing army leader rolled to Nikan and cried loudly.

"Where are your Melezing, and other Batulus?"

"Mr. Melezhangjing is dead, and the others...the others have all returned to the Heaven of Eternal Life."
