At this time, the Eight Banners of the Qing Army fought fiercely and their combat power was indeed strong, which cannot be denied.

Otherwise, it would not have gone from outside the customs to inside the customs, spanning thousands of miles, and had not tasted defeat.

Therefore, when he did not exceed the strength of the Qing army, Chen Sheng really did not dare to send troops.

But now, Chen Sheng is also in a dilemma, can he save it?

Save, it is likely that the rout of the front army will lead to the loss of the entire Lihai Pass.

Don't save ...... That's 8,000 soldiers.

Chen Sheng's eyes were blood-red, and he roared, "Fire...... Fire...... He X's cannon. ”

The generals around him were gloomy.

They understood, and the commanders had already decided not to save!

The "rumbling" of artillery began to intensify, and the casualties from the shells were increasing, as the crowd became dense.

But Lihaiwei is still retreating.

Because the loosening of the front line can never be reversed by the courage of one or two people.

The retreat is getting faster and faster, and the collapse is just a split second.

The "rumbling" cannon sound was even more intense, which did not play any role at all in the hearts of the soldiers who were tearing apart on both sides.

Because the projectile will never hit its head, and the shell will only fall on the head of the rear army behind it.

The Qing army's attacks were even more intense.

But at this time, the generals who were watching the battle on both sides showed the same look...... Astonished!

The projectile flew in the wrong direction.

That is, there are artillery guns from different directions firing.

Duoduo suddenly realized that Wu Zheng might have arrived early.

This thought made Duoduo break out in a cold sweat.

At this time, a herald rushed over and shouted, "Our army is in Songxia to meet the enemy, the enemy army is strong, please send reinforcements from the king!" ”

Duoduo knew that the 1,000 Qing troops deployed in Songxia could not stop Wu Zheng.

Duoduo just wanted the 1,000 Qing army to hold Wu Zheng for an extra hour or two.

With one or two hours, you can arrange a retreat yourself.

It's just that I didn't expect Wu Zheng to come much earlier than he expected.

Dodor let out a long breath, and he sighed, "Ten days of hard work have been in vain! ”

"Withdraw!"

Bo Luo hurriedly said: "Songxia our army is still ready to fight, please order the king, I am willing to personally go to command and block Wu Zheng, even if the last defeat, the opposite Ming army must be defeated." King, just another quarter of an hour, no, a cup of tea ....... ”

Duoduo's face was a little gloomy, he didn't reprimand Bolo, he just pointed in the direction of the battle between the two armies, "Look at it again, is it enough for a cup of tea?" ”

Bolo looked in surprise in the direction of Dórd's finger.

The gates of Lihai were opened, and an army of at least 5,000 men poured out of the three gates and rushed to the battleground.

Chen Sheng finally made a desperate bet.

He could guess where the cannon came from.

Now that the Zhoushan Master has arrived, his previous judgment is correct.

Although Chen Sheng had no way of knowing how many sailors had arrived and whether they could afford reinforcements to Lihai, at this moment, Chen Sheng could only take it as an opportunity.

So, Chen Sheng ordered the whole army to attack!

A battle will determine the victory or defeat, a battle will determine life and death!

Cold sweat soaked from Bolo's forehead, he knew that what Duoduo said was right, I am afraid that in an hour, I will not be able to defeat the Ming army on the opposite side, no, what we have to consider now is how the Qing army should retreat.

At this time, Duoduo ordered again: "Withdraw!" ”

"King, there are at least 3,000 people ahead?!" Bolo's eyes were red.

Duoduo stopped talking and turned away.

Bolo glanced at the battlefield again, and the Ming army, which had been retreating, no longer retreated, but the Qing army front began to retreat slowly.

Bolo, in infinite pain, turned after Dord.

He understood that the war was over.

Tens of thousands of elites were lost in Shaoxing Mansion.

This, in the near future, will allow himself and Duoduo to face the harsh rebuke of the imperial court, and may even be demoted and demoted because of this.

But these were far less painful than the deaths of the clansmen in front of him.

Bolo's tears rained down!

……。

Duoduo ordered a retreat, which meant that the Qing army's attempt to invade Shaoxing Mansion had completely failed.

But the battle continues.

On the battlefield, there are still dead people.

The nearly 3,000 Qing troops abandoned by Duoduo are still resisting.

It wasn't until Wu Zheng led his troops to break through the resistance of the Songxia Qing army and attacked Lihaiwei on both sides that they really defeated these abandoned sons who were already destined to be unable to return to their hometown.

After being attacked from both sides, only more than 200 people surrendered.

The entire Lihai people were jubilant.

It's been half a month, and victory has finally arrived.

Wu Zheng could not enjoy this long-awaited joy, because he was worried about the people of Wuzhuang who had been taken captive by the Qing army.

When Duoduo retreated, he took with him more than 300 peasant households in Wuzhuang.

He even left a message for Wu Zheng and made three requests.

Release all the prisoners of this battle.

No pursuit.

Returning to the pre-war border, after the Ming army recovered Yuyao, it was not allowed to take the opportunity to cross the border and invade Ningbo.

As long as these three demands are agreed, the farmers in Wuzhuang will be released.

Wu Zheng let out a long breath, and he finally let go of the big stone in his heart.

For Wu Zheng, no matter how big the price is, it is worth it.

"Reply to Duoduo, I have agreed to all three conditions. Release the captives immediately, and I will see them in three days. Wu Zheng stroked his chest and said, "Fortunately, the Qing army has taken a lot of prisoners...... Song An, there should be quite a few of them in your department, right? Even if it's one for one, no, two for one, no, I'll be generous, three for one, to let Duoduo understand that the lives of our Han people are much more valuable than theirs. ”

Wu Zheng's words aroused the echo of natives like Li Ruhai, but generals like Qian Sudian and Chen Sheng did not agree.

Chen Sheng said: "General, the exchange of prisoners, you might as well postpone it, compared with the thousands of Tartar elites, more than 300 people will be sacrificed...... Worth! The general knows that in this battle, General Li led 8,000 Lihaiwei to fight with the Qing army for two days and two nights, and the battle losses on both sides were almost two to one. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the general, the outcome of the battlefield would have been completely different. Once these prisoners are exchanged, how many soldiers' lives will our army pay? Subordinate...... I don't approve of the exchange, let alone a three-for-one. ”

Wu Zheng's face became a little gloomy.

Qian Sudian said: "I agree with what General Chen said, someone must die in war, I want to replace you and me, as well as anyone present, if you need to sacrifice, you will not refuse." Wu Zheng, this is a national war, and the people are naturally no exception, they need to be sacrificed and conscious. ”

Even Zhang Mingzhen, who came from Cao Ejiang, echoed: "General, I also think it's inappropriate. The people can be seen everywhere, if they are coerced by the Tartars, it will become a common practice in the future, as long as the Qing army robs some people everywhere, they can ask us for something that cannot be obtained on the battlefield, so how can our army confront the enemy? ”

Wu Zheng sat down slowly, and then sighed: "You are all my humerus, I regard you as brothers, I thought you understood me...... It's a pity that you still don't understand me. ”

The sudden words made the generals look at each other.
