After all, Tan Tai's waist knife was snatched by Zack Be, dead? At this time, if Tan Tai died, then the Qing army would be even more leaderless, and it would not be swallowed by Qin Mufeng in one go?

"My lord, with the meaning of the last general, now that our army has suffered too many casualties, it is better to temporarily withdraw to the territory of the Daimyo's Mansion, temporarily rectify it, and wait for Prince Yu's reinforcements ......to come up."

Zack didn't whisper.

Tan Tai shook his head gloomily and replied: "No, we must be nailed to the east bank, you don't forget, the Ming army can attack us for the first time, you can attack us a second time, if we retreat to the west bank, we want to cross the river to take back Shandong, but we have to risk being blocked by the Ming army again, as long as we firmly occupy here, then the prince's reinforcements can cross east at any time, and Qin Mufeng will have a decisive battle, without our protection, if you want to cross the river, but it is difficult!" ”

Tan Tai took a deep breath and shouted: "Come on, send a letter to Prince Yu immediately, this defeat is due to my poor command, and I must want Prince Yu to ask for guilt; Zack Be's men and horses should be rectified immediately, and a defensive line should be built on the spot to prevent a sneak attack by the Ming army! ”

At this time, Qin Mufeng also had no mood for a sneak attack, after this battle, the right town of Nanjing suffered a lot of casualties, and it was not easy to go to war again without two days of repair!

The entire border area of Zhilu and Henan fell into a stalemate between Manchuria and the Ming Dynasty.

The news that the main force of Shandong Town was almost wiped out was too big a blow to Duoduo, and he really wanted to give Tan Tai to the law on the spot, but now is the time to employ people, and after cleaning up Tan Tai, could it be that the people sent out again are much stronger than Tan Tai? Duoduo had no confidence in his heart, so he could only order Holo to lead a force in the direction of the canal, ready to cross the river at any time.

The pressure of the Eight Banners of Manchuria is too great, originally it was necessary to attack the Tianwei Army head-on, and the strength was superior, now it is good, the Guanning Iron Cavalry has suffered heavy losses, and the Shandong Town is even Liu Zeqing who has been killed, completely scattered, and the advantage of troops has disappeared, the most terrible thing is that now the Ming army is advancing from the two directions of Weihui Mansion and Dongchang Mansion, like a pair of pliers, and it is dead to contain the Qing army.

Beijing City, Dolgon also did not expect that a Qin Mufeng would bring such a huge change to the battle situation, the Tianwei Army and the right town of Nanjing have completely resolved Duoduo's offensive, Duoduo wants to push forward again, and even cross the Yellow River, it is almost difficult to enter the sky, even Shandong Province, has lost Yanzhou, Dongchang two mansions, and even Qingzhou Mansion and Tai'an Mansion are already in danger!

"Lord Wang, it seems that we have to change our strategy, temporarily give up attacking Shaanxi, transfer Ji'er Harang's forces to Henan, and re-form a military advantage over the Tianwei army......

Abatai said in a deep voice.

"Humph!"

Dolgon said coldly: "Duoduo's repeated battles are unfavorable, it is completely due to the rapid advancement, our artillery is bulky and abnormal, and it is impossible to keep up with the pace of cavalry advancement, resulting in the big war, the cavalry and infantry are disjointed before and after, and there are loopholes in the coordination between the cavalry and the cavalry, so that the Ming army can take advantage of the opportunity, and issue a strict order to reprimand Duoduo, let him use his troops carefully, stop being greedy for merit, and fight steadily, the combat power of the Eight Banners of Manchuria is still stronger than that of the Ming army, but Duoduo has not played it!" ”

"Yes!"

Dolgon continued: "Send a message to Zilharang, ordering his army to take Jinnan as soon as possible, and then cross the Yellow River directly from Mengjin and directly approach Luoyang, Xu Yifan and Qin Mufeng will attack Duoduo's main force, then we will let Duoduo and Zierharang flank Xu Yifan's Tianwei army, I want to see how a small Xu Yifan can block the main force of our Manchurian Eight Banners and Six Banners, plus the advance of the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han Army!" ”

Abatai is right, with Duoduo's forces alone, he can only maintain the current situation, barely invincible, if he wants to defeat the Tianwei Army, then he must let Zilharang and Duoduo flank the Tianwei Army, this is the key!

"Also, give an order to Kong Youde, ask the Ministry of Industry if the speed of casting red-coated cannons can be a little faster, we need red-coated cannons, the more the better, attack the city of the Ming Dynasty, without the help of artillery, it is too difficult, our cavalry can't attack directly to the city from the warhorse, right? Give him three months, and cast thirty more red-clothed cannons for me, and if they can't be completed when they expire, they will be removed from their titles on the spot, dismissed from their posts, and exiled their whole family to Ningguta! ”

Dorgon said viciously.

Abatai smiled bitterly: "Regent, we can't force Kong Youde too hard, it turned out that in a year's time, Kong Youde only cast thirty cannons, and now let him cast thirty red-clothed cannons within three months, even if he is afraid of killing him, he can't cast it, this is a guy who burns money!" ”

"It's not just the redcoat cannon, we need flintlock muskets!"

Dolgon raised his hand to hold up the flintlock musket on the table, and the successive battles caused the Tianwei army to lose some of the muskets in the battle, which were captured by the Qing army, and the fast horse was sent to the capital, asking the court to develop it.

Dolgon's ears are grinding out calluses, Duoduo has lost many battles, all of which are closely related to this flintlock musket, powerful, long-range, high-headed, and not afraid of rainy weather, much more powerful than the arquebus, the battle of the Grand Canal, in less than a moment, hundreds of musketeers caused hundreds of casualties of Manchurian elite cavalry, the power is too great, it is simply the nemesis of cavalry!

"Tell the Ministry of Industry, give them half a month, you must figure out all the parts of this flintlock musket, within three months, I want to get two thousand flintlock muskets, as long as we are equipped with enough flintlock muskets, it will be easy to destroy the Tianwei army!"

Compared with the flintlock musket, the role of the red-coated cannon is only reflected in the siege, in the field, at most it is a bit of a deterrent, and the real damage caused is not very high, but the flintlock musket is different, as long as there is enough space and time, a musketeer can even kill two cavalrymen, and the killing range is more than two hundred steps, the best shooter in Manchuria, with all his strength to release arrows, draw a full bow, and the killing range is only about one hundred and fifty steps, far inferior to this musket, what does it mean? Before the hand-to-hand encounter, the Qing army could only be beaten passively, and there was no way to fight back if they were beaten!
