"Shut the door and beat the dog? This? ”

Yang Chengzu was shocked and stunned, this, what kind of play is this?

Song Jiaxing was about to answer, but he saw a burst of smoke and dust flying in the northwest direction, and a foot rider was rushing towards his own camp quickly!

Song Jiaxing raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Come on, go and see which one is wrong, give the order, and fight immediately!" ”

As he was talking, a fast horse in the distance had already galloped over, shouting from afar: "Lord Song, Lord Song!" ”

When he got closer, he could see clearly that it was Gui Tianlan, the deputy general of the fifth town who stayed in Yuncheng, and now Gui Tianlan was also disheveled and out of breath, followed by Song Jiaxing's Tianwei army left in Yuncheng.

"Gui Tianlan!"

Yang Chengzu exclaimed, "You, now Yuncheng County is also lost? ”

Gui Tianlan wiped a handful of sweat and said astringently: "Lord Yang, it's useless to go down to the official, Wu Sangui has strong troops, and the onslaught is not stopped, the entire city wall of Yuncheng County was collapsed by the Qing army in three days, we have no barrier, we can only fight with the Tartars in the alley, it just so happens that Lord Song's military order arrived in Yuncheng, in order to preserve his strength, the lower officials had to lead the brothers to break through the encirclement of the Qing army and retreat to the southeast!" ”

"Okay, General Gui, this time the responsibility lies with me, I ignored the Tartars of Dongchang Mansion and led the main force to attack, so I gave the Tartars the opportunity to sneak attack, I will ask the emperor for the guilt, how many troops do you have now?"

Gui Tianlan smiled bitterly: "There are still a lot of troops, our Tianwei army is only defeated, but it is not a rout, the lineup is quite neat, the casualties in the past few days are only about two thousand, and the remaining five or six thousand troops, all of them are here, Wu Sangui is chasing us all the way, and now it is only twenty or thirty miles away from us, the only pity is that the grain and grass hoarded in Yuncheng County have been lost......"

"Strength is the most important thing!"

Song Jiaxing shouted, "One Yuncheng County is lost, don't worry, as soon as the herald army comes out, immediately retreat in the direction of Yanzhou Mansion, Brother Yang, you lead the fifth town to hold Jining Prefecture, I lead the second town to hold Yanzhou Mansion, and we still have to catch up with Azig Heluo and Wu Sangui in Yanzhou!" ”

Song Jiaxing is really angry now, angry and angry, he has never been so passive, even when he withdrew to Guannei in Manchuria, he was not so passive, he couldn't retreat back then, it was just a big deal to die on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud is a kind of glory for soldiers, but today, if you want to die, if you die, the whole Shandong will be finished, Kaifeng Mansion is also dangerous, and even Xu Yifan's 100,000 elites are in danger, even if he dies, he must die before he dies, and he will contain Azig's army in Shandong. Definitely don't give them a chance to go west!

"Jiaxing, will Azig really not directly go west to attack Kaifeng Mansion? How do I feel a little hanging, if they enter Kaifeng Mansion recklessly, then Yifan will be really dangerous......"

Yang Chengzu said sadly.

Song Jiaxing sneered: "Forgive him Azig doesn't have the guts, he hurried into Kaifeng Mansion, we will completely wrap him in dumplings, it's very simple, just need Yifan to lead the army to the south of the Yellow River, leave a force to defend the Henan ferry, and then concentrate the troops, and attack us in front and rear, not waiting for Duoduo to cross the Yellow River, our Tianwei army will be flanked before and after, and the Azig army will be crushed into powder!" ”

Yang Chengzu's heart was shocked, he deserved to be one of the emperor's most relied on heartfelt cadres, this vision is extremely keen, it is really not something he can compare, now Song Jiaxing is still young, but in his early twenties, in another three or five years, he is more experienced, and he is definitely another handsome talent after Xu Yifan and Qin Mufeng!

This time the division is unfavorable, but it can't all be blamed on Song Jiaxing alone, after all, Azig and He Luohui Wu Sangui together, the strength of more than 60,000 troops, such a strong force, more than twice as much as his own, Song Jiaxing's strength is weak, naturally it is difficult to take care of it, just this bearing and vision, maybe only Xu Yifan can win.

"That's what you said, even if Azig is bold, he doesn't dare to take such a dangerous risk and enter Kaifeng Mansion, I think his most likely strategy is to annihilate our two towns Tianwei Army first, and then enter Henan in the west to cut off Xu Yifan's back road......"

Yang Chengzu said in a loud voice.

Song Jiaxing continued: "In addition, we must also protect the right flank of Nanjing, after Jining, we can enter Xuzhou, which is the territory of Nanzhili, and it is not far from Nanjing, if we lead the army to defend Lanyang, then what if Azig gives up attacking Kaifeng Mansion and instead attacks Yanzhou Mansion and Xuzhou?" In that case, they can drive straight in, directly threaten the right flank of Nanjing from the east, and march to the left of the Jiang, you know, now a partial division of Azig is already attacking Qingzhou, once Qingzhou is taken, Xuzhou and Haizhou will be dangerous, and further south is the granary of our imperial court, absolutely not to be lost, in any case, Yanzhou and Jining are our last line of defense, and we must not take half a step back, so, Yanzhou and Jining are our last bottom line, even if all the Tianwei army is killed, we must not take half a step back! ”

As he was talking, another puff of smoke and dust flew up from the southwest direction, and a scout from a distance rushed over, bowed to Song Jiaxing and said, "Lord Qiyu, there is a Tartar cavalry in front of us from the southwest direction to quickly think about us, and now we are less than twenty miles away!" ”

What the?

Song Jiaxing and Yang Chengzu were shocked at the same time, such a fast speed!

Now it can be said that the Tianwei army is attacked on three sides, the northeast is Azig, the northwest is Wu Sangui, and the southwest, needless to say, it is He Luohui, who has just captured Caozhou!

Once the Tianwei army is surrounded by the three-way Qing army here, the Tianwei army will be defeated in this battle, even in the elite can not reverse the situation, you must know that the three-way army together, the strength is full of 60,000 people, except for the Guanning iron cavalry is slightly weaker, they are all the elite cavalry of the Manchurian Eight Banners, which is not much better than the Tianwei army, the Tianwei army of the two towns together is less than 30,000 people, how can it block the three-way siege of the Manchurian Tartars?

"Good trip, this ......"

Song Jiaxing took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice: "Order the three armies, immediately retreat in the direction of Jining, the two towns of elite cavalry protect the two wings, and the musketeers rush forward and withdraw with all their might!" It is necessary to rush out before the encirclement of the Manchurian Tartars! ”

Although the 30,000 Tianwei army faced great difficulties, they did not panic, and began to retreat in the southeast direction, retreating at full speed, and in just two hours, they temporarily threw off the pursuit of the Qing army and entered the territory of Jining!
