"Withdraw, withdraw!"

"Come on, come on, protect the master......"

"Dog minion, are you blind? Let the master go first......"

Like the autumn wind sweeping through the fallen leaves, the full expectation of the Great Qing Kingdom was torn to pieces in an instant, and the hazy wilderness was full of people and horses running for their lives and fleeing.

It is the establishment level of the Qing army, and at this time, it can't stand this flood offensive that is not ferocious, only the ability to parry, and there is no power to fight back.

It wasn't until a few minutes later, running out for miles in succession, away from ditches and low-lying terrain, that they realized that the flood offensive seemed to be ...... It's a little off......

"Master, this, this seems to be ......"

Beside Dolgon, there was a servant who just wanted to say something to Dolgon, and when he saw Dolgon's face, he subconsciously stopped talking.

What the hell can you say, don't you see that the master wants to eat people......

Dolgon gloomily watched the scene not far away, letting the rain wet his cheeks and body, and the whole person seemed to fall into the hell of Anose and then forcibly crawled out.

When he took the initiative to dispatch the Model Army, he faintly expected a hint of something wrong.

After all, after fighting with Xu Changqing for so many years, he understands very well, how can Xu Changqing be a person without a target? Since he does things, he must have a purpose.

But greed and a good situation blinded him, and he couldn't help but raise his strategic goals.

It was only at this time that he realized that Xu Changqing didn't want to do anything with this flood at all, he just wanted to disrupt their rhythm!

At the moment, Rao is not a big flood, and even the high areas here have stopped, but his king's tent, his guard of honor, their grain and grass...... I'm afraid that it has already been brewed by this water potential......

Thinking about it, the roots of Dolgon's teeth were about to crumble, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

If they had released the water this afternoon, even though the scale of the flood would have been great, it would have been much larger than it had been at this time.

In that way, it may not be fatal to the Model Army and the Ming Army, but it is no problem to make them embarrassed.

Who would have thought that in just a few hours of hesitation, the world would be turned upside down......

In this state, how dare Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou, Ning Wan and others dare to say more? One by one, they cowered in the corner like little chickens, for fear of being noticed by Dolgon.

What else can be said?

Rao is that they have part of the right to suggest, and Hong Chengchou even has part of the right to plan the battle situation, but can they make decisions? Do they dare to make a decision?

Not to mention anything else, just half an hour ago, when Duoduo and Zilharang set out on the expedition, the Great Qing Kingdom was still triumphant and rejoicing.

In that state, are you tired of being crooked?!

Even Sony was as if he had been drained of his energy at this time, and he no longer had any strength.

Now that this is the case, what should we do?

At this time, although the foundation of the Great Qing Kingdom has not been destroyed, after all, the water potential is too small, but it is already like this, there is no food to eat, how can this battle be fought?

In particular, how should those Mongol minions and armor-clad minions, including those irregular forces within Manchuria, be arranged?

Don't think that real Manchuria is monolithic.

As mentioned above, the old slave Nurhachi is a 'son-in-law', that is, the legendary son-in-law, Aixin Jueluo and their Jianzhou lineage only gradually rose after the old slave raised the army, before that, the Jurchen blood was much more noble than Aixin Jueluo.

Not to mention anything else, even Lafayette's family, the Yehenara clan, is much more noble than Aixin Jueluo, and the reward given to them by the Ming Dynasty is far from being comparable to Jianzhou.

Although Yehnara ultimately failed in the military campaign against Jianzhou, he also left behind the famous curse: "Even if there is only one person left, Yehnara will destroy Jianzhou!" ”

Dull.

Unspeakable dullness.

At this time, although it was out of the danger zone and could basically ensure safety, almost no one spoke in the main battle formation of the real Manchurian battle array of tens of thousands of people, and everyone was thinking about things a little dullly. Who can think, who dares to think, half an hour ago it was still a good situation, and it was almost about to be determined in the world and reach the peak of life.

However, everything changed in the snap of a finger......

After a while, Dolgon finally came to his senses, as if he was ten years old in an instant, and summoned Sony, Fan Wencheng, and Hong Chengchou to discuss the matter.

Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou glanced at each other, and they could see the horror in each other's eyes.

It's already like this, what else is there to discuss?

Do they have any other choice but to retreat?

But even if this is the case, the process still has to be followed, and the Great Qing Kingdom is still a country.

"Now that the matter has come to this, do you have any suggestions?"

Dolgon's voice was hoarse, and he scanned the crowd slowly and heavily.

“……”

It was Ning Wan, who was the most out of the game and had always wanted to break the game, I was honest at this time, swallowed dryly, and didn't dare to say more.

After a moment, it was Sonny who spoke first: "Regent, according to the intelligence gathering ahead, this wave of water should be from Ailing Lake. Looking at it this way, Ailing Lake is afraid that it has been abolished. It's already like this, why don't you just empty all the water storage points! Even if he can't kill Xu Changqing, at least let him suffer a little! When the main force of our Qing Dynasty breaks through to the southwest, it should not be difficult to find vitality......"

Dorgon nodded heavily.

He naturally thought about what Sony said, but now the situation is chaotic, and many things can no longer be judged by common sense, the most basic, this state, how to ensure that the news can be accurately transmitted to those water storage points in the north?

Moreover, he has already paid such a big price and paid so many sunk costs, he is really unwilling!

How can you be willing to give up like this?!

If they retreat like this, not to mention that they can't explain to the inside of the Great Qing Kingdom, externally, how do other forces view them in the Great Qing Kingdom? What kind of face will the Qing Kingdom have after that?

In his thoughts, Dolgon directly skipped Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanme, and his eyes converged on Hong Chengchou's body, staring at him like a wolf.

“……”

Hong Chengchou wanted to greet Dorgon's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Damn it, you don't ask Lao Tzu when you have a good opportunity, and now, when something happens, you want Lao Tzu to wipe your ass?

But even if he is unhappy in his heart, the Great Qing Kingdom is also a thin camel bigger than a horse, and he Hong Chengchou has no way to retreat, so he can only spin his brain quickly and think of a way.

After thinking for a while, Hong Chengchou said: "Regent, at this time, opening the embankment to release water may not be as powerful as planned, but I think the power will not be weak." It must be known that Ailing Lake is like a grain of rice and the sun and the moon compared to Gaoyou Lake. As long as we can pass the news in the shortest possible time now, as soon as the water of Gaoyou Lake opens, most of the Jiangbei will become Wang. Ocean! At that time, I only need to be patient and search carefully, and I may not have a chance to ......."

Although Hong Chengchou said this very implicitly, how could Dolgon not understand the core?

He gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment before making a decision, and his face suddenly turned hideous like a ghost: "Since this is already the case, then according to what Hong Qing said!" Withdraw, order the whole army, immediately withdraw to the southwest! ”

"Wow!"

The dreary battle formation of the Qing army quickly regained its vitality, and in the rain and mist, the sound of horses' hooves rolling, and the muddy water splashed, they quickly broke away from the area.

……

"Boom!"

"Boom ......"

At the beginning of the morning, it was early nine o'clock in the evening.

The main force of the hot air balloon led by Xu Changqing finally arrived at Qinjiawa, which is more than 20 miles northwest of Ailing Lake, and successfully blew up the embankment of this small lake, which is only about one-tenth the size of Ailing Lake.

In the surrounding area, the floodwaters, which were already somewhat sluggish, quickly began to rage, rolling and roaring towards the south.

Xu Changqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, even though the intelligence system had been completely blocked, and it was impossible to tell who was who, Xu Changqing was very confident in his judgment.

In the current situation, even if it does not kill the main force of the Qing army, it is certain that they will be defeated.

The overall situation of the Qing army's flood offensive has been broken by half!

But this is far from the time to celebrate.

Gaoyou Lake is like a sword of Damoris, always hanging high above Xu Changqing's head.

At this time, Gaoyou Lake was far from the scale of later generations.

The specific area is impossible to count at all, there are dozens of adjacent lakes of all sizes, and the surrounding rivers are vertical and horizontal, and the northwest is directly connected to Honghu Lake.

If the Qing army really wanted to play with their lives and release the water directly, no one could predict the consequences......

At this time, Xu Changqing could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and quickly rushed to the west side of the Qinjiawa water storage point and blew up a point again.

The principle of this is not complicated.

The Qing army wanted to cause floods from north to south, and the biggest reliance was on some rivers that they had repaired.

Don't look at the floods, they are countless, but the only ones that can really be used for them are the ones that pass through the river and rush to the main rivers such as the Grand Canal, and the others can only be regarded as additions.

The Ailing Lake and Qinjiawa water storage points are a bit similar to the transfer stations of these rivers, which have not weak guiding ability and can also be used to strengthen the rhythm.

At this time, even if Xu Changqing has completed half of the strategic goals set by this campaign, it is still slightly small for the overall situation.

So what to do?

The best option is to divide the flood!

Use the transfer stations of Ailing Lake and Qinjiawa to divert part of the water potential to the east, southeast and southwest uninhabited areas.

How much effect, at this time, I'm afraid that Da Luo Immortal can't say well, in fact, it's still a big gamble!

However, this kind of gamble, Xu Changqing also has a lot of confidence.

Previously, on the defensive front of Yangzhou's northern front, Xu Changqing had made great efforts to strengthen the fortification system, and it was not yet the flood season at this time, and it was far from the most terrible time when the water potential was at its worst.

As long as they use their flesh to harden this wave, with the Qing army now not even a few grains and grasses, their rout is already a certainty!

……

Minutes and seconds passed.

At the beginning of the day, the hot air balloon unit of the Model Army successfully opened an opening in the southwest of the Qinjiawa water storage point.

Ten minutes later, the Model Army blew up a section of the Grand Canal due west of Qinjiawa to protect the river, and successfully turned part of its flow to the east.

After this wave, the main force of the hot air balloon finally got in touch with a hot air balloon unit, which was the sons and daughters who originally protected Wang Pubu, and they had seventy or eighty hot air balloons.

They have been cruising in this core area during this time, and they have controlled a lot of core news.

Just as Xu Changqing expected.

Although the flood is fierce, it is simply an invincible beast to the common people, but it is still unrealistic to think of causing great damage to the cavalry troops.

Now both the Qing army and the Ming army have basically withdrawn from the danger area, but it is impossible to contact them in a short time, the situation is really too chaotic.

This hot air balloon also has two small achievements, and in this moment's work, they also successfully destroyed two canals to protect the river, leading to the east respectively.

However, they are also facing a big crisis at this time, and their charcoal fire is running out.

Xu Changqing frowned a little.

This was also the problem he was most afraid of before,—— the supply of hot air balloons.

When the situation is not chaotic, it is good to say, but when the situation is chaotic, then it can only depend on the will of God.

"Boom!"

"Boom Rumble......

Just thinking about how to give these sons and women some charcoal, he first stepped over the crisis in front of him, and suddenly there was a thunderous roar in the direction of the Grand Canal not far away.

Everyone was startled, and they hurriedly looked over.

In the next moment, Xu Changqing saw the scene in front of him clearly, and he only felt cold in his hands and feet, and his body was cold.

I saw that on the river of the Grand Canal, it was like a giant rolling water dragon flying, roaring and hideous, as if it was about to tear the world apart, rolling towards the south.
