The next day, Zhu Jie still used the firearms battalion to bombard the Manchurian army indiscriminately, after yesterday's battle, Wu Sangui no longer had the courage to send troops, this is just against the Beijing army, he has already fallen into the disadvantage, if the Tianwei army is out of the battle, these parts of his own, I am afraid that it will really be over.

Wu Sangui did not dare to send troops, Tan Tai also did not dare to attack easily, the casualties of the Manchurian elite cavalry were too serious, and the already low morale was suppressed even more, and the battle under this situation would only bring greater losses to the Manchurian elite cavalry, and the two of them had to defend strictly and try to avoid the artillery fire of the Ming army.

It was another day of fierce fighting, and Zhu Jie still did not launch a general attack on the opponent.

However, on this night, things changed, and the Manchurian army finally ushered in Dolgon's second will - to withdraw the army, immediately withdraw the army at full speed, go straight to Jining, and gallop to the aid of the troubled Yu Prince Duoduo!

Now Dolgon has completely lost the courage to confront the Ming Dynasty, for a year, the casualties of the Manchurian cavalry are too heavy, has seriously threatened the foundation of Manchuria, Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Xianzhong and Ma Shiying's successive failures, so that Dolgon realized that the local forces in the Ming Dynasty are not enough to threaten Zhu Jie's rule, as for Zheng Zhilong in Fujian, now Dolgon has also got the news, the battle of Xianxialing, Zheng Zhilong was defeated, and finally died in Fujian, the originally envisaged north-south flanking strategy, has been completely bankrupt; This is not the most serious problem, the most serious problem is that Azig was killed, one of the most brave and warlike commanders of the Manchurian elite cavalry, Prince Azig of England was killed in battle and was killed by Zhu Jie! Without Azig, the Eastern Route Army of Manchuria had no chance of winning under Zhu Jie's advance! At this time, Prince Yu Duoduo also fell into a grim situation of being attacked by the Ming army, and the two main forces have now fully fallen into passivity!

If we don't withdraw our troops at this time and shrink the front in an all-round way, then next, whether it is the Eastern Route Army or the Middle Route Army, they are all facing the danger of defeat!

As a generation of heroes, Dolgon naturally knows the current grim situation, and a good situation in Manchuria will be ruined if he is not careful, and even the foundation laid by his father for Manchuria will be ruined!

Even if Dolgon is angry, he doesn't dare to storm Huai'an City now, the most important thing is that it has lost its meaning, even if he can take Huai'an Cheng, now he can't help Nanjing City, the commander is killed, the troops are insufficient, and it is not advisable to attack strongly, so there is only to hold the area that has been reached - Zhili and Shandong, we must hold these two provinces firmly in our hands!

"Lord Tan, Lord Tan, the regent has asked us to withdraw our troops, let us withdraw our troops! Ha ha! ”

Wu Sangui almost cried, hurry up and run, if you don't run, the Manchurian army will be really dangerous!

Tan Tai shook his head helplessly, not my race, his heart must be different, Wu Sangui and other subordinates are not Manchurian nobles, the most important thing in their hearts is never the interests of Manchuria, but their own interests, how to keep their own power, how to maintain their own status, when the Manchurian spring breeze is proud, they follow closely and fight everywhere to reap the benefits, and now once Manchuria is in trouble, they shrink their heads faster than the other, even if Wu Sangui is brave and good at fighting, they will definitely not fight to the death with the Ming army.

"Since this is the case, then give the order to go, the army will be prepared immediately, and the army will retreat north at dawn tomorrow!"

Now there are still 40,000 or 50,000 people in the Manchurian army, and there are countless loads of grain and grass, and it is not so easy to withdraw the troops. After all, now Manchuria's finances are tight, and the treasury is already empty, and Tan Tai can't afford to waste it.

However, at the same time that Tan Tai and Wu Sangui received Dolgon's will, Zhu Jie also ushered in good news, and in the middle of the night, a fast horse went straight into the Beijing camp and came to the handsome tent.

"Report! The last general, the general Cha Xuan, and the guerrilla general Zuo Ran, were ordered by the military order of the lord of the ministry to request to meet the emperor! ”

Zuo Ran shouted loudly.

Zhu Jie, who was in the handsome tent, had not rested yet, and when he heard the shouting outside, he raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Come on, let Zuo Ran come in!" ”

Zuo Ran opened the curtain and entered the handsome tent, knelt on the ground, and said urgently: "The guerrilla of the Chenjing camp Zuo Ran sees the emperor!" ”

"Okay, don't be so polite before the battle formation! What is the situation on the battlefield in Fujian now? ”

Zhu Jie asked.

Zuo Ran hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the Lord of the Ministry and General Zhao and General Xu have defeated Zheng Zhilong's army in Fuzhou Town, Zheng Zhilong's eldest son Zheng Sen led the people to revolt and surrender, and the Lord of the Ministry led the army of Beijing to take a sea ship all the way north, and yesterday it has landed from Yancheng and is rushing behind the Manchurian army. ”

Zhu Jie was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed: "Haha, check the bolt, yes, this kid actually ran in front of me this time!" Wanchun, get the map! ”

Xia Wanchun on the side hurriedly put the map on the table, and Yang Chengzu picked up the candlestick and came over.

"Well, it's only two hundred miles from Yancheng to Huai'an, and it's only two hundred miles to march at full speed, but it will take two days to arrive, according to what Zuo Ran said, now Lao Cha should not be more than eighty miles away from the Manchurian army!"

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice.

Xia Wanchun said excitedly: "Doesn't that mean that one day later, the capital camp of the Ministry Hall will arrive?" ”

Zhu Jie nodded and replied: "If you are the fastest, you will arrive at the battlefield at noon tomorrow, and if you are slow, you will be able to arrive at dusk!" It seems that tomorrow will be the moment of our final showdown! Someone came, immediately sent a message to Song Jiaxing, tomorrow's decisive battle, I will lead the army to launch a full-scale attack on the Manchurian army, and order the Tianwei army and the Jingying cavalry to attack from Huai'an City at noon, go straight behind the Manchurian army, and flank the Manchurian army! ”

As soon as Zhu Jie's words fell, Guan Ping, the head of the scout camp, rushed in from outside, knelt on the ground, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the minister has been rewarded by the scouts, and now the Manchurian battalion is packing up grain and grass overnight, and it looks like it is going to escape......

Zhu Jie raised his eyebrows and ran away? It's really possible, the Manchurian Tartars can't support it, and the attack for two consecutive days has brought huge losses to Manchuria, it seems that Tan Tai and Wu Sangui are afraid!

Zhu Jie snorted coldly: "Want to run? It's not so easy, give an order immediately, the army is trimmed, and at dawn, launch a general attack on the Manchurian army, and they must not be allowed to run! ”

Zhu Jie gave an order, and before the sky was bright, the army outside the city took action, and one artillery and rockets began to advance two miles forward, and once again launched a siege against the Manchurian army!
