All night, there were shouts of killing.

When the sky lights up, dawn begins to appear.

The eight thousand main forces of Wusongwei stabbed the enemy's formation with their guns in their hands and broke into the enemy's formation for six or seven miles.

This is really every step, with blood flowing.

Whether it was the Wusongwei or the Qing army, both sides were exhausted. At this time, either side sent a new force to control the situation.

Obviously, the Land of Lu will never let go, this fruit that was exchanged for the lives of the brothers.

The Wusongwei reserve team began to move abnormally!

Yue Le was so sad that he used a gold monocular inlaid in his hand to observe the battlefield form ten miles away.

He understood that the territory of Lu could increase troops, but he could not increase his troops.

Because he is the guardian, he has a more important task, which is to defend Yancheng. This is Dorgon's strict order before departure. If Yancheng is lost, come and see him! Thinking of Dorgon's plain tone, Yue Le couldn't help but shivered. He was originally from Jirgalang's side. Dorgon knew it well, but he still had to use himself, that was to give himself a chance. If he wins this time, he will be the Regent. But if he fails this time, Yue Le can definitely imagine that Dorgon would use himself to impeach Jirgalang in the court, and he will become the scapegoat that grandma does not associate with him and uncle does not love!

This battle cannot be fought any longer. If you fight again, you must increase troops on the battlefield. If you increase troops, Yancheng's defensive power will be weak. Once Wu Zheng transferred the navy from the entrance of the sea to the north along the canal, not only will Yancheng be protected, but even the 30,000 new troops in his hands have to be destroyed here.

Even if we can fight together and die together in this battle, and fight all Wusongwei, so what?

Wusongwei is just a mere guard in the Northern Expedition Army of Wu. On the contrary, these 30,000 new troops are the only new troops in our dynasty!

Thinking of this, Yue Le finally made up his mind.

He gritted his teeth and ordered to withdraw!

Withdrew back to Yancheng and held on the city.

At the same time, people were sent to report the details of this battle to Dorgon urgently.

....

The wind at dawn in early spring has a hint of warmth in the cold.

When it was dawn, the water surface of the canal was as calm as a mirror, without the trace of the shrill whimper of last night.

However, on the shore just a few miles away from the river, there were no more breathless corpses covering ten miles in a row.

The Lu Domain was running wildly, and Shen Zibing was running wildly.

They were all searching and searching for the eight hundred warriors who vowed to "not defeat the enemy's formation and never stop the army" last night, hoping to see someone still alive, even if there were only one or two, even if they were missing their arms and legs.

What they hoped even more was that the one they wanted to live would be Shen Zigui.

Things in the world are often not satisfactory.

When the two of them discovered Shen Zigui, who was lying on the border of the enemy's position almost at the same time, all the hopes and expectations in their hearts instantly disappeared.

The two performed completely differently.

The Lu Domain fell down on the ground without saying a word.

Shen Zibing stood ten steps in front of the corpse and let out a roar like a beast, but his steps did not go further, because he dared not, could not bear it, did not want to, and could not bear it!

The Wusong Guard soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield gathered together when they heard the sound. They walked forward silently and collected the warriors. Their movements were light, slow, and steady, for fear of disturbing the warriors' dreams.

In this battle, all the 800 warriors of the suicide squad died!

In this battle, Wusongwei killed more than 3,700 people and injured 1,900 people. The enemy who blocked the outer periphery of Yancheng had long built a complete fortification and rushed back to Yancheng to retreat.

More than 5,600 enemies were annihilated and more than 2,130 were captured.

If it were not considered a prisoner, the two sides would almost have a tie.

But this is a victory!

Strategic victory!

This not only conquered a position with complete fortifications, but also defeated the enemy's confidence.

Wu Songwei broke the myth of unbeatable hand-to-hand combat with bloody cold weapons!

This is a reversal of fundamental power.

This is the most powerful weapon to destroy the enemy's confidence.

It made the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army more confident. Even without firearms, I could find you all over the ground!

....

Wu Zheng was in big trouble.

Obviously, the pits Dorgon dug were not just Huai'an City and Yancheng.

When Wu Zheng mobilized Chen Sheng, who was a reserve team in Jingjiang, Jinhuawei, and landed in Yizhen, he had not yet begun to attack Liuhe in the west.

Chen Sheng learned from the scout that several unknown number of enemy cavalry activities occurred from the Tianchang direction to the Shangguanqiao area.

This is a very fatal problem. The problems encountered by Chen Sheng and Jinhuawei were almost the same as those of the Lu Realm. Because of the sudden war, Jinhuawei, which was dispatched urgently, did not carry the heavy artillery they were originally equipped with.

What is more difficult than the Lu Realm is that Jinhua Guards are facing enemy cavalry!

In an emergency, Chen Sheng quickly ordered to abandon Yizhen City and build a main position on the edge of Datong Mountain, with the intention of not knowing what happened, he could use the terrain to fight the impact of the enemy cavalry. At the same time, Chen Sheng urgently sent a message to Wu Zheng, requesting reinforcements.

Musketeers who did not fire guns or artillery were in a very awkward situation when dealing with cavalry. The only way to form a head-on resistance was only one way, that is, three times or even five times the strength of the enemy.

Chen Sheng is steady in nature and dare not take this risk. Since several enemy cavalry scouts appeared, the main forces of the enemy cavalry must be not far apart.

And the only place where the sky is coming from is Fengyang Mansion.

Then, the number of this enemy cavalry should be between five and six thousand, and this number is definitely not something that the five thousand Jinshan Guards can resist.

Afterwards, Chen Sheng's instant decision saved five thousand of his men.

He was right, this was the third pit Dorgon dug for Wu Zheng. It was right that the enemy cavalry came from Fengyang Mansion, but the number was not five to six thousand cavalry, but tens of thousands of cavalry!

Dorgon secretly sent three thousand iron cavalry in his hand to Fengyang, and even the Qing court did not know.

If this matter is revealed, Dorgon may have been impeached by the court.

Because after Shunzhi ascended the throne, the Eight Banners of Manchu were divided into the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing and the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing, and the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing were almost impossible to be transferred out of the capital.

The Eight Banners who really fought against the Ming and Rebels in various places were the eight banners, such as the 6,000 cavalry in Fengyang Prefecture, the 3,000 cavalry in formerly stationed in Hangzhou, etc. This was also the origin of what was later called "General Jiangning", "General Hangzhou", "General Guangzhou", etc.

Dorgon was determined to kill the Northern Expedition Army, and he risked being impeached by the county ministers and made every effort to make a bet, even his direct cavalry was dispatched.

The direction of this iron cavalry attack is the most critical point after the war begins - Jiangdu!

Now the Northern Expedition Army of the Guards who landed in Jiangbei have pushed their main forces to the northern part of Yangzhou and southern part of Huai'an. Behind them are only a few hundred people stationed in various cities, and even in many small cities, there are wounded soldiers who are placed in them.

In other words, these cities behind do not have much defensive capabilities.
