Six hundred and ninetieth chapters finally look forward to
Dorgon ignored the messenger and stared at the Ming army in front of him. He saw the Ming army in the triangular formation cleaning the battlefield. When he saw the Dajin soldiers who were still alive, he shot them.
Every time it was pierced, it was as if it was pierced into Dorgon's heart. Looking at the comparison of the numbers of the two sides, the close combat ability of the Ming Army's musketeers was probably no worse than that of the Baya La soldiers.
Of course, this refers to battle formation, not one-on-one duel ability.
The strength of this Ming army is unexpectedly strong. Not only that there is no way to eat this Ming army, but even if you find a way to barely eat this Ming army, your casualties will be very heavy.
Huang Taiji racked his brains to abolish the Eight Kings' Political Council and asked him to have the final say on his own. Then let him worry about the Ming army. There was no point in wiping Huang Taiji's butt after finishing his own men.
Thinking of this, Dorgon let out a deep breath with a gloomy face, and then ordered: "Withdraw."
The messenger was stunned for a moment, and then reminded with some confusion: "Master, what about the catapult?"
Unexpectedly, this reminder was met with Dorgon's cold gaze. The messenger was frightened and knew what to do. He quickly resigned and went to inform the rear army.
Dorgon led his army, leaving corpses on the ground, dejectedly bypassed the Ming army's musketeers, and ran away.
Cao Wenzhao did not pursue him. He had achieved his goal by driving away the Jianlu. After cleaning the battlefield, he led his army back to join Marquis Zhongxing.
At this time, Zhong Jinwei had taken control of the dock and was re-erecting a simple dock to facilitate the unloading of the fleet on the Liao River.
Cao Wenzhao looked at the rows of captured catapults and laughed secretly. These things should be eliminated from the battlefield.
He quickly found Zhong Jinwei and reported to him: "Master Marquis, our army intercepted Jianlu and fought a fierce battle in the field. One hundred and thirty-four of our soldiers were killed and 25 were seriously injured.
, 365 people were slightly injured. Preliminary estimates are that more than 1,800 Jianlu were killed and no prisoners were taken."
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he was a little surprised and asked: "What, a hand-to-hand fight?"
Without close combat, Zhong Jinwei did not believe that the New Army could have suffered such heavy casualties in such a short period of time.
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Cao Wenzhao replied, and then reported the whole process to Zhong Jinwei in detail.
Finally, Cao Wenzhao said with emotion: "When I saw the white-armored soldiers of Jianlu before, my heart went crazy. Ah, Lord Marquis, that's not what I meant! Of course, the general is not afraid of the white-armored soldiers, but there is no one who can defeat the white-armored soldiers."
Men, if we fight against each other, we will inevitably lose the battle."
When Cao Wenzhao was talking, he saw Zhong Jinwei's disdainful eyes, and quickly explained, and then continued: "This time, there were about a hundred white-armored soldiers on Jianlu, and they were almost eliminated with one round of flintlocks."
Wow. Comparing the before and after, it’s really quite different!”
After hearing this, Zhong Jinwei smiled softly, then looked up at the blue sky and said: "The times are progressing, and the world will be dominated by firearms in the future. Individual martial arts will only remain in the memory of history."
Upon hearing Cao Wenzhao, Nana smiled and said: "Master Hou, what you said is so philosophical."
After hearing this, Zhong Jinwei looked at Cao Wenzhao and said: "Stop flattering and work quickly. Is there any group of Jianlu who escaped who will follow them all night long?"
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis. It's common sense in the army. How could the general not do it?" Cao Wenzhao heard this and quickly replied.
After hearing this, Zhong Jinwei turned to look at the fleet on the Liao River, thinking that it would take a whole day to unload so many supplies. So he ordered the army to set up camp and stayed at Niuzhuangyi today.
Besides, the fourth child stayed in Haizhou and went out to patrol the city every day. Despite their young age, they had many years of experience in the army. In addition to their special status, they quickly became familiar with the Guan Ning army who stayed behind.
The four of them were influenced by Zhong Jinwei and did not put on airs. As a result, the fourth child, who was both capable and bratty, was unanimously loved by Guan Ningjun.
On this day, Li Dingguo was inspecting the west gate, and together with the soldiers on duty, he commented on the five thousand Jianlu stationed outside the city.
Suddenly, a cavalry army galloped up from a distance, with rolling iron hooves and rumble of horse hooves, all showing that they numbered in the tens of thousands.
Suddenly, everyone's attention at the top of the city was turned to the galloping cavalry.
Although he didn't see it clearly, Li Dingguo asserted: "It must be Jianlu's army."
A soldier next to him asked with a glimmer of hope: "Why can't it be our army?"
"It's very simple. The new army doesn't have that many people, and other armies don't have the guts to march on Jianlu's territory." Li Dingguo explained.
The soldiers of Guan Ning beside him understood that Li Dingguo was right, and they all felt a little disappointed. One of the soldiers said to himself: "When will the new army come back!"
Not to mention Guan Ning's army, even Li Dingguo is looking forward to the arrival of the new army. But he cannot be as confident as this soldier. Li Dingguo enlightened him: "Don't worry, my uncle said he would come back in time, so he will definitely come back."
Come back in time!"
Sergeant Guan Ning all nodded, agreeing with Li Dingguo's statement. But in their hearts, they hoped so!
The cavalry army was getting closer, and it turned out to be Jianlu Zhengbai Banner men and horses. I saw that this cavalry army did not enter their camp under Haizhou City, but directly bypassed Haizhou City and went north.
Several knights were separated from the cavalry army, and after going to the Jianlu camp, the Ming army at the top of the city discovered that the Jianlu soldiers in the camp had begun to break up and leave.
Li Dingguo was surprised and delighted. This sign was clearly a sign that Jianlu had escaped! That meant that his uncle was already here!
Therefore, Li Dingguo asked someone to fly to the city's commander-in-chief, Zu Dashou, to inform him of the situation here.
When Zu Dashou hurried to the top of the city, the Jianlu prisoners in the camp below the city had already left. Zu Dashou quickly used a telescope to observe carefully and found that the Jianlu soldiers were leaving in a great hurry and had not finished packing and taking away many things.
Then he discovered that the Ming army was not gathering at night, no, to be precise, it was the New Army that was not gathering at night.
Zu Dashou was overjoyed and immediately announced: "The Marquis of Zhongxing is back, and the Marquis of Zhongxing has driven away the Jianlu!"
The soldiers of the Ming army were hanging up not far from Jianlu's rear army at night. When they passed by Haizhou City, they all smiled and waved to the city. It was as if they were shepherding sheep outside the city. They said hello to their companions on the city and continued on their way.
Sheep.
Haizhou City immediately began to boil. Marquis Zhongxing was back! Not only was he back, he also drove away all the Jianlu!
It would be false to say that people in Haizhou City are not worried that Zhongxing Hou will not come back. Although there are four children in Haizhou, their hearts can only be truly relieved when they see the New Army appearing outside the city at night.
Come down.
It didn't take long for the new army's messenger to go straight to Haizhou City, bringing the exact news to Haizhou, and joy suddenly filled Haizhou City.
