From a strategic and tactical point of view, this battle really did not make any sense.

The Ming army was no longer able to control the west bank of the river, and the east bank was undermanned, with the assistance of musketeers, it was okay to hold on, and the attack was indeed a bit reckless at this time.

But all this is for only one purpose, that is, to snatch Liao Zhongping back, whether alive or dead.

In order to get the morale of the army, but also to get it, the word affection

Wu Zheng was still conscious at the beginning, steady and steady, approaching the shore step by step.

But when the casualties of the Ming soldiers who had swam ashore before were getting higher and higher, Wu Zheng's brain was hot.

Wu Zheng brazenly gave the order for a general attack, and this order was actually not wrong.

Because of the moment when they were pinned down by the Ming troops ashore, the musketeers were already approaching the shore, only twenty paces away.

Then, the Qing army on the shore was already able to drop bombs.

But this order also put the musketeers within range of the Qing army's bows and crossbows.

The casualties of the musketeers, too, gradually increased.

This unreasonable fierce battle lasted for half an hour.

The casualties of the Ming army have exceeded 30%, and even the musketeers have more than 200 casualties.

The kind of fighting style in which the two sides lined up their troops and arranged their formations, the sword and shield soldiers in front, the crossbowmen in the back, and the cavalry protecting the two wings, even if there were more troops, as long as the strength of the two sides was similar, the casualties were actually very few.

Often in a day, there are more than 100 casualties each, which is already too much.

But the battle in front of me is different, the two sides are attacking, and the fight is a battle of will, and it is impossible to arrange troops, which can be described as swords and knives and arrows bite flesh, so you have to fill it with your life.

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

This allowed the Ming army to successfully land after paying heavy casualties.

After throwing the grenades on his body and emptying the projectiles on his body, the musketeers also loaded their bayonets and engaged the enemy's short soldiers.

However, it was in this hand-to-hand combat that the musketeers trained the bayonet combination of the three men, revealing its hideous fangs.

But wherever there is a musketeer, the Qing army cannot attack it.

The knives in the hands of the Qing army were far less than the musketeers could pierce them.

Their few spears were easily stabbed by the musketeers.

As a result, the soldiers of the Jianyang Guard and the Forbidden Army cooperated with the musketeers from the periphery to snipe the Qing army.

The remaining more than 4,000 Ming troops fought to a draw with the Qing army, which still had more than 20,000 people.

At this time, however, Nikan was distraught, and he became embarrassed.

What he originally wanted was a decisive battle and revenge.

Instead of being in a stalemate, this place is, after all, the Gyeonggi of the Yiheung Dynasty, and there are only 1,000 defenders in Daseungguan now, and they are still lightly wounded.

In case of another army coming from the Taiping Mansion, the Great Victory Pass will be dangerous, and once the Great Victory Pass is not guaranteed, more than 20,000 people will fall into encirclement.

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

When the fighting between the two sides was fierce, from the northwest direction of the Qing army, a team of 2 or 3,000 people was killed.

The attack was extremely ferocious, and under the surprise of the Qing army, it stabbed into the Qing army's formation like a sharp knife.

Nikan was really anxious at this time, it was not the key to be attacked from both sides, and the strength of the Qing army was far more than the total number of the two Ming armies.

But the problem is that being hit on both sides made it impossible for the Qing army to get out easily.

The Ming army on the other side of the river was obviously tied up and could not be easily defeated, and the Ming army that had just appeared did not know the details, and it seemed that it was not good at stubble.

Nikan began to worry that if it dragged on like this, he would be stuck here, in case another Ming army came from Yingtianfu, no more, three or five thousand people were enough, and if he went around to the Great Victory Pass and struck a blow, he would not be able to go back.

Nikan was so helpless that he could only give the order to retreat against his will.

As a result, the Qing army left behind the two or three thousand people who were stuck with the Ming army, and fled to the Great Victory Pass.

……。

Who is this strange soldier coming?

is the purpose of Wu Zheng's crazy attack - Liao Zhongping.

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

Wu Zheng found out that Liao Zhongping not only did not die, but he didn't even have a trace of injury on his body.

The Jingwei defense line was suddenly broken through by the Qing army, and Liao Zhongping, who was far behind the front, could not stop this situation of defeat.

Surrounded by the rout, they retreated north.

It's no wonder that Nikan is greedy, at that time, if he held his mind and continued to pursue Liao Zhongping's department and expand the results of the battle, maybe Wu Zheng would not be able to see Liao Zhongping alive, and the so-called wounded ten fingers might as well be broken one finger.

Ke Nikan's mind has always been focused on Ying Tianfu, just like after he defeated Xia Wanchun's army, he did not pursue Xia Wanchun's rout, but ordered to turn to attack Ying Tianfu.

After retreating to a few miles away, Jingwei found that the Qing army was not chasing, so he naturally stopped.

At this time, Liao Zhongping finally had a chance to collect the remnants.

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

The scouts sent to the south reported that the Qing army on the other side seemed to have encountered a counterattack by the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Liao Zhongping changed his mind now, but Liao Zhongping actually thought the same as Nikan, and he also thought that Chen Sheng had come back with Li Haiwei.

Chen Sheng's Lihaiwei had 10,000 people, sharp firearms, and was armed with thousands of small cannons.

It shouldn't be difficult to regain lost ground.

So Liao Zhongping quickly led his troops to fight back.

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

He held up his left hand, which was missing a finger, "If it weren't for the teachings of the prince, be loyal to state affairs...... The humble post has long followed Chen Sheng's division into Beijing...... Please cure the crime of ineffective rescue of the prince! ”

Wu Zheng said movingly: "You did the right thing!" Chen Sheng was wrong, and he withdrew from his duties, almost making a big mistake...... He's guilty! ”

……。

The ministers in the Fengtian Temple have been arguing all morning, and they are arguing.

It is also strange that when the Ming literati faced the aggression of the Tartars, they always weighed the pros and cons, endured humiliation, and could be called a model of a gentleman.

But if you really have to face your own kindred, it is impassioned and has established the backbone of a scholar.

Even in the face of the court staff that killed many people, he was unmoved.

Chen Sheng is already a ruthless person, he heard that Wu Zheng was in danger, he did not hesitate to withdraw the army back to the division, if it were not for Mo Zhinian and Ma Shiying's persuasion, Zhu Yujiao would not be able to stop him from attacking the imperial city in a rage, in Chen Sheng's heart, Zhu Yujiao does have weight, worthy of his respect, but these are two different things, Chen Sheng is a loyal object, from the banquet of Wu Zheng in the restaurant on Shining Street, Chen Sheng swore to follow Wu Zheng in this life, and return a peaceful and fair world, but now, someone has destroyed his hope, more than four years of hard work and hard work, Gone for nothing overnight.

Once it is confirmed that Wu Zheng was killed, then the jade will be burned, this is Chen Sheng's secret determination, and Qian Sule and Huang Daozhou are naturally not in the scope that Chen Sheng needs to fear.
