From a strategic and tactical point of view, this battle is indeed meaningless.

The Ming army could no longer control the west bank of the river and the east bank was insufficient. With the assistance of musketeers, it was still acceptable to defend. At this time, the attack was indeed a bit reckless.

But all this is for only one purpose, that is, to rob Liao Zhongping back, whether it is alive or a corpse.

For gain, it is the morale of the army, and for gain, the word "feeling" is the word "feeling"

Wu Zheng was still sober at the beginning, and he was steadily approaching the shore step by step.

But when the Ming soldiers who had previously swam ashore had suffered higher and higher casualties, Wu Zheng's mind became hot.

Wu Zheng brazenly issued the general offensive order, which was actually not wrong.

Because the moment the Ming army was restrained by the landing, the musketeers had approached the shore, only twenty steps away.

Then, the Qing army on the other side could already drop bombs.

But this order also put the musketeers at the range of the Qing army's crossbows.

The casualties of musketeers also appeared and gradually expanded.

This unreasonable fierce battle lasted for a full half hour.

The Ming army suffered more than 30% casualties, and even the musketeers suffered more than 200 casualties.

The way of fighting between the two sides is arranged, the formation is arranged, the sword and shield soldiers are in front, the crossbow soldiers are behind, and the cavalry protects the two wings. No matter how many troops are, as long as the strength of the two sides is similar, there are actually very few casualties.

Often, after a day, there will be more casualties among each of them.

But the battle is different in front of you. Both sides are fighting against each other, and it is impossible to arrange troops. It can be said that the sword is bloody and the arrow bites the flesh, so you have to fill it with your life.

The Qing army was even more miserable. The musketeers had already thrown grenades to the shore at the beginning of the general attack. The wooden grenade was not very lethal to the Qing army, but it effectively suppressed the Qing army's archers, and the smoke caused by the smoke affected the Qing army's vision.

This allowed the Ming army to successfully land after suffering huge casualties.

After throwing the grenades on his body, he slashed all the bullets on his body, and the musketeers also used bayonets to contact the enemy's close forces.

However, it is in this hand-to-hand combat that the musket soldiers trained the bayonet combination of three people to reveal its hideous fangs.

Wherever there are musket soldiers, the Qing army cannot attack.

The sword in the Qing army's hands was far less than that of musketeers and guns.

They had few spears stabbed, and were easily pulled away by musketeers.

Jianyang Guard and the Imperial Army soldiers cooperated with musketeers from the periphery to kill the Qing army.

The only remaining more than 4,000 Ming troops tied with the Qing army, which still had more than 20,000 people.

However, at this time, Nikan was in a mess and he became embarrassed.

What he originally wanted was a decisive battle and avenge a single arrow.

Instead of falling into a stalemate, this place was the capital of Yixing Dynasty. There are only a thousand defenders at Dasheng Pass now, and they are still slightly injured.

If another army comes from Taiping Prefecture, Dasheng Pass will be in danger. Once Dasheng Pass is out of protection, more than 20,000 people will be surrounded.

Just when Nikan was in a dilemma, someone made a decision for him, no, to be precise, it was a choice.

When the two sides were fighting fiercely, a team of two or three thousand people emerged from the northwest of the Qing army.

The situation was extremely fierce. When the Qing army caught off guard, it stabbed a mile into the Qing army's formation like a sharp knife.

Nikan was really anxious now. Being attacked on both sides was not the key. The Qing army's strength was still far more than the total number of the two Ming armies.

But the problem is that being attacked on both sides made the Qing army unable to escape easily.

The Ming army coming from across the river was obviously stalemate and could not be defeated easily. The Ming army who had just appeared did not know the details and seemed to be a good person.

Nikan began to worry that if he dragged on like this, he would be stuck here. If there was another Ming army coming from Yingtian Mansion, there would be no need to have more than three or five thousand people, and he would have to go around to Dasheng Pass and he would not be able to go back.

Nikan had no choice but to issue a retreat order against his will.

So, the Qing army left behind two or three thousand people who were stalemate with the Ming army and fled to Dasheng Pass.

....

Who is this surprise soldier coming?

It is the purpose of Wu Zheng’s crazy attack this time - Liao Zhongping.

When the two armies met, the two men hugged each other with tears in their eyes and hugged each other tightly.

Wu Zhengcai discovered that Liao Zhongping was not only not dead, but even had no trace of injuries on his body.

The Beijing Defense Line was suddenly broken through by the Qing army, and Liao Zhongping, who was far behind the front, could not stop the situation of defeat.

Being surrounded by defeated soldiers, he retreated northward.

It’s just that Nikan is greedy. At that time, if he suppressed his mind and continued to pursue Liao Zhongping’s troops and expanded the results of the battle, perhaps Wu Zheng would not be able to see Liao Zhongping alive. It is said that it is better to break one finger than to hurt ten fingers.

Connikan's mind always gathered in Yingtian Prefecture. It was like after defeating Xia Wanchun's tribe, he did not pursue the defeated troops of Xia Wanchun's tribe, but ordered to turn to attack Yingtian Prefecture.

After retreating several miles away, the Beijing Guards found that the Qing army was not chasing them, so they naturally stopped.

At this time, Liao Zhongping finally had the opportunity to collect the remaining parts.

After the purge, Liao Zhongping had a team of nearly 3,000 people. He originally wanted to retreat north to respond to Tianfu and defend the city gate.

However, the scouts sent to the south were rewarded, and the Qing army on the other side seemed to have encountered a counterattack from the Northern Expedition Army.

Liao Zhongping changed his mind this time, but what Liao Zhongping thought was actually the same as Nikan. He also thought it was Chen Sheng who brought Li Haiwei back.

Chen Sheng's Lihaiwei had thousands of people, sharp firearms, and thousands of small cannons were equipped.

It should not be difficult to recover lost land.

So Liao Zhongping quickly led his troops to fight back.

When he saw Wu Zheng, Liao Zhongping cried bitterly, hugged Wu Zheng and cried, "Prince, I think I will never see you again."

He held his left hand with one finger missing, "If it weren't for the prince's teachings, he would have been loyal to state affairs... He would have followed Chen Sheng to the capital to help him... He asked the prince to punish him for his poor rescue!"

Wu Zheng was moved and said: "You did the right thing! Chen Sheng was wrong and withdrew from his post, almost causing a big mistake... He was guilty!"

....

The ministers in Fengtian Hall had been arguing for a whole morning, and they were in a quarrel.

It is also strange that when the Ming Dynasty literati faced the invasion of the Tartars, they always weighed the pros and cons and endured humiliation and were a model of a gentleman.

But if you really have to face your own tribe, you are passionate and have set your backbone for scholars.

Even when facing the court stick that killed many people, he was not moved.

Chen Sheng is already a cruel person. He heard that Wu Zheng was in danger, so he did not hesitate to withdraw his troops and return to the army. If Mo Zheng Nian and Ma Shiying had not convinced him, Zhu Mei would not be able to stop him from attacking the imperial city in anger. In Chen Sheng's heart, Zhu Mei did have a weight and deserves his respect, but these are two things. Chen Sheng was only loyal to him. From the restaurant on Shining Street to Wu Zheng's banquet, Chen Sheng vowed to follow Wu Zheng in this life and give him peace and justice in the world. But now, someone has destroyed his hopes, and more than four years of hard work and hard work have gone into vanish overnight.

Once it is confirmed that Wu Zheng was killed, it will be destroyed. This is Chen Sheng's secret decision. Qian Sule and Huang Daozhou are naturally not within the scope that Chen Sheng needs to be afraid of.
