There was a mess all night, and the various calls of the soldiers were heard everywhere.

Haoge did not give up after a one-day defeat in the offensive. He ordered his generals Kamutu and Bao Chengxian to lead 500 flag soldiers to cross the river through the floating bridge, trying to sneak attack the Ming army from both sides of the deer antler formation. But he looked up to the combat power of these soldiers and the steepness of the hills on both sides.

Not only did they fail to successfully attack the Ming army, but they were ambushed by Gao Jinsong. After losing more than 300 people, they fled in a panic. Then there were rumbling cannons and rockets that kept firing, which continued overnight.

And in the meantime, there were also voices of persuasion mixed with Mandarin and Chinese, floating on the entire night sky again and again.

Haoge was furious and no longer thought about how to attack, but focused on how to remove the stinging stakes in front as soon as possible. He didn't know where he attracted more than 2,000 ordinary people, and asked them to take the stolen heads, shovels and other tools, and desperately dig the soil with the rockets above to remove the stakes.

The Qing army, hiding behind the small camp on the south bank, also began to fight back and forth, with bows and arrows shuttled back and forth. From time to time, someone fell to the ground by arrows and let out dull screams.

The Ming army had a large number, and the losses were not large under the attack of hundreds of Qing troops. However, the ordinary people who came to dig thorn piles suffered heavy losses. They lay on the ground and shivered. They began to dig soil amid the urging of Qing soldiers, and the speed of pulling the piles was extremely slow.

By dawn, nearly half of the more than 2,000 ordinary people were killed or injured, but only about one-quarter of the piercings closest to the river bank were removed. Moreover, the closer they went, the closer they were, the more lethal the bows and arrows became, and their casualties became more and more severe. In the end, no matter how the Qing army used a knife to threaten them, the ordinary people would never go forward again.

After listening to the report, Haoge withdrew the people and sent new people to continue building camps along the river bank. Since he could not win quickly, he would move forward slowly, at least let the soldiers of his army have enough places to hide on the other side. At the same time, he was still sending people to pull the stakes, but the speed was much slower.

After two days of confrontation, Zhou Xian turned to launch a sneak attack. Nearly a thousand soldiers secretly descended from the hills on both sides and attacked the Qing army's camp.

For a moment, fires rose everywhere, and ordinary people were panicked. They ran around and fled to the north shore through the floating bridge. This happened to block the support direction of the Qing army on the north shore. By the time the Qing army killed dozens of people and rushed out of a road on the floating bridge, the Ming army had all retreated.

Looking at the hundreds of dead bodies left on the river beach and almost half of the walls destroyed, Haoge's eyes were on fire, and a Han general who was about to behead that night was about to behead him in front of the formation.

The sky turned white, and nearly ten thousand Qing troops lined up on the north bank, with their eyes full of raging anger. Thousands of ordinary people were driven to the south bank, and they screamed and cried forward. They were wearing the most broken clothes and did not even have the most basic defensive shield.

What's strange is that the Ming army did not pull out the arrows to shoot the people this time, and basically sat down to see them pull out the stakes in front of them one by one. During this period, they only used a little tiger squat cannon to bombard them, and their targets were the Qing army hiding behind them.

The stakes in front were finally removed, and the Qing army could finally reach the Ming army without any obstacles.

About two thousand Ming soldiers took off all the original walls and set up a formation three to hundreds of steps behind. Shield soldiers were in front, spearmen and other troops stood in the middle, and archers were lined up behind the formation. More and more Qing troops were rushing to the south bank, with about three thousand people in the front, and more were still on the north bank, and they could cross the river to support at any time.

Just when both sides were ready to attack at any time, dozens of cavalry slowly walked out of the Ming army formation, stopped at an arrow from the Qing army, and then slowly unfolded the formation.

The unexpected actions of the Ming army caused a commotion among the Qing army. They yelled in a low voice, a little confused about what the Ming army was going to do?

Li Lutai looked at Gao Xinzhong next to him, "What the hell is this Mingdog doing? Are they planning to use more than a dozen people to attack our team?"

At this time, a soldier came out and shouted loudly to the Qing army: "Can the captain Haoge be there? Is Zhou Xian, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, led tens of thousands of soldiers to Liaodong to recover our Ming Dynasty's hometown. Haoge, dare to go out for a while?"

After hearing Li Lutai's return, Haoge laughed and said, "This Zhou Xian's son is really rampant. He dares to call me in front of the army? Gang Atai, please take a few people with me to go there."

Abatai's face changed slightly and he said, "Big nephew, Ming is cunning, this is especially serious this week. He invited you to the front of the formation, and maybe he was trying to make any tricks in his mind! I think we ignore him, push the red cannons forward, and directly kill him."

Haoge is Prince Su, while Abatai is just Beile, and he is directly called his eldest nephew, which is obviously a bit of an arrogance. But Haoge didn't care about this at this time, but just said in a deep voice: "I am Prince Su of the Qing Dynasty and the eldest son of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. How could I show weakness to the enemy on the battlefield? Even if this is Zhou Xian's conspiracy, I must go. Uncle Qi, if there is any accident, you will be the leader of this army."

Abatai was silent for a while, and finally bowed to Haoge and said, "Please rest assured. If Minggou dares to hurt you at all, I will slaughter all the people in Jinzhou and let them all be buried with you."

Haoge nodded. He was weak in character and did not care about his life and death as he said on the surface. But in this case, he knew that he had no choice but to retreat. If he was still huddled behind the formation under the obvious provocation of the enemy, it would be a shame for his life.

"Mandahai, send someone to inform Geng Jimao and ask him to push the red cannons forward. The target aims at Zhou Xian. If you know something is wrong, you will immediately launch a cannon and bombard it."

Mandahai bowed slightly and said, "Don't worry, my prince, I'll go over and notify him in person."

Haoge walked out of the big tent and waved slightly.

Gang Atai next to him quickly led two horses over, and Hauge turned over, and Gang Atai also turned over. Then he waved his hand, and more than a dozen personal guards got on the horse one by one, following him closely. They crossed the river through the pontoon bridge, and crossed the road where the army was making way out, slowly moving towards the formation.

But when he reached the middle, Li Rutai stepped forward and grabbed Gang'atai's horse and whispered: "Three, run away immediately when you see something wrong. It's important to save your life."
