Before the Manchurian battalion, Tan Tai and Wu Sangui's army could be cleaned up, the Ming army attacked again, and all the artillery and rockets were put into the attack!

As the cannon sounded, shells and rockets fell into the Manchurian camp one after another, and the Manchurian camp was once again chaotic.

Tan Tai and Wu Sangui's hearts sank, now the sky has not completely brightened, the east has just revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, why did the Ming army attack so early? Did the news leak out?

"Lord Tan, this time the Ming army's attack is more fierce, no one knows if they will launch a siege, we must withdraw immediately, we can't wait any longer!"

Wu Sangui shouted urgently.

Tan Tai's face changed, and he shouted: "Withdraw the army now?" What about the food, grass and ammunition that we haven't loaded yet? ”

"Needless to say? The grain and grass that could not be taken away were burned away, the ammunition was immediately loaded and ready to retreat, the artillery went first, the cavalry was broken, and it was too late if you didn't leave! ”

Wu Sangui was really anxious, he faintly felt that something was wrong, over the years, he had developed a cautious character, and he was very sensitive to the approach of danger.

Tan Tai was still a little hesitant, at this time, a fast horse ran over, and when he came to Tan Tai, the person turned over and dismounted, and said urgently: "Two adults Qiqi, thirty miles to the northeast, there is a Ming army that is rapidly advancing behind us!" ”

Yes......

Tan Tai and Wu Sangui gasped, and the Ming army appeared thirty miles to the northeast?

"How many troops does the other side have?"

Tan Tai shouted.

The person who came hurriedly said: "Lord Tan, the opponent's troops are not small, it seems that there are no less than 20,000 people, and they are rapidly advancing behind us, I am afraid that in a day at most, they can reach our back and block our retreat!" ”

Tan Tai and Wu Sangui glanced at each other, their hearts were full of shock and fear, once their back road was cut off by the 20,000 Ming army, the Manchurian army would be really miserable!

"King Pingxi, now it is not a matter of the Manchurian elite cavalry being broken, but to dispatch the Manchurian elite cavalry to hold our retreat, we must resist the Ming army, otherwise, we will be dumplings by the Ming army in this area!"

Tan Tai shouted urgently.

Wu Sangui nodded again and again, compared to the possible pursuit of the Ming army, the Ming army cut off the back road is more terrifying, at least the pursuit will not wipe out its own army, there will always be a part of it that can be withdrawn to Shandong, but once the back road is cut off by the Ming army, then there is really no place to die!

"Kui Hai, immediately lead eight thousand elite cavalry to the north, and you must block the Ming army in the northeast for me! To protect our retreat, the rest of the troops immediately retreated to the north, and burned all the food, grass and ammunition that could not be taken away! It must not be robbed by the Ming army! ”

Tan Tai shouted.

"Wait!"

Wu Sangui shouted: "Lord Tan, I think we shouldn't burn these grain and grass baggage, but should scatter it in the camp, now although the Ming army has brought a lot of grain and grass baggage, but it also has to be distributed to a large part of the Tianwei army in the city, it is not abundant, maybe the Ming army delayed the offensive action in order to collect these materials, so as to win time for us to retreat, don't burn, don't burn!" ”

Tan Tai's heart moved, although Wu Sangui's idea was not the best policy, there was no doubt that it could still play some role.

"Just do as you say!"

Kui Hai led 8,000 Manchurian elite cavalry into battle lightly and rushed down to the northeast, while Tan Tai and Wu Sangui reorganized the army and began to retreat quickly towards the north!

However, if you want to retreat at this time, it is not so easy, Zhu Jie has already gotten the news, naturally he will not give the Manchurian Tartars a chance to escape, the Beijing camp and the Tianwei army have approached from the south, under the cover of artillery and rockets, they are about to hit the front of the Manchurian battalion, and even the bullets of the musketeers have been fired into the battalion.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat now!"

Tan Tai shouted sharply, tens of thousands of Manchurian troops began to retreat towards the north in a hurry, but although the speed of the cavalry was fast, they were carrying a large amount of grain and grass baggage, and if they wanted to retreat quickly, it would be difficult, and the vehicles full of grain and grass could not advance quickly at all.

Seeing the rapid advancement of the Tianwei army and the Jingying, Tan Tai's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "King Pingxi, immediately lead the Guanning Iron Cavalry to attack their musket battalion, quickly!" ”

Wu Sangui was angry for a while, grandma, your Manchurian elite cavalry is not used, but you want to use my Guanning iron cavalry? Lao Tzu's Guanning Iron Cavalry is now less than 10,000 people, just such a small number of troops, and still think about the musket battalion to launch a counter-charge, surrounded by the Tianwei army, then it is really going to be wiped out......

However, his arms can't twist his thighs, although he is the king of Pingxi, but Tan Tai is Gushan Ezhen, the general of Zhengnan, and the elite of Manchuria who leads a banner, which is the real high-ranking task of Manchuria, except for a few princes and banner owners, it belongs to them These Gushan Ezhen have great power.

Wu Sangui had no choice but to lead the Guanning Iron Cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the musket battalion, however, if you want to defeat the musket battalion, it is not so easy, you know, there are a full 4,000 musket battalion here, firing together, the entire battlefield is shrouded in a rain of bullets, Guanning Iron Cavalry charged twice in a row, with heavy casualties, and the Tianwei Army on the side is even more eyeing the Guanning Iron Cavalry at any time to launch an assault!

Grandma's! No matter!

Wu Sangui was extremely angry, the Manchurian elite cavalry was a human being, could it be that Lao Tzu's Guanning Iron Cavalry was not a human being? You run, Lao Tzu also runs!

"Order, all cavalry immediately retreat, retreat to the rear!"

Wu Sangui gave an order, and the frightened Guanning Iron Cavalry ran down to the rear, who do you love, don't fight, if you continue to fight, the Guanning Iron Cavalry will be wiped out.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the Manchurian army only retreated six or seven miles to the back, and it was impossible to shake off the Tianwei army and the Beijing camp, Tan Tai looked at Wu Sangui who rushed up and almost vomited blood, this waste, just like a while, he retreated in a hurry, how can he fight?

"Wu Sangui! Do you dare to disobey military orders? Guan Ning Iron Cavalry retreated at this time, and none of us could escape! ”

Tan Tai roared.

Wu Sangui protested: "Lord Tan, what you said is simple, four thousand musketeers, my Guanning iron cavalry elite has been lost, and the current cavalry combat power is limited, where can I resist it?" If you want to resist the attack of the musket battalion, you must use the Manchurian elite cavalry, and if you let me break off, where can I withstand it? ”

Tan Tai gritted his teeth angrily, but it's too late to say anything now, the Tianwei Army and the Jingying have already caught up!
