"Yifan, now the situation is very unfavorable to us, Liu Zeqing rebelled, the Qing army had twenty or thirty thousand more troops out of thin air, Dongchang Mansion fell, and now we have fallen into the three-sided encirclement of the Qing army, once the main force of the Qing army is closer, it is difficult for us to block the Qing army......"

Deng Jiuru said in a deep voice.

Xu Yifan asked, "What about the casualties in the second town?" ”

Yang Chengzu smiled bitterly: "More than half of the casualties in the second town, only 10,000 people safely withdrew to the Daimyo's Mansion, and the rest were either killed or missing......

More than half of the casualties!

Xu Yifan's heart twitched fiercely, tens of thousands of casualties, how could the Tianwei Army have suffered such a big loss since Tongzhou Town? Even his good brother was seriously injured and almost died on the battlefield!

"Come on, immediately send a cavalry to protect Lao Cha, and withdraw to Kaifeng Mansion, the Daimyo Mansion is too unsafe. Also, immediately sent a 700-mile expedited to Nanjing, asking the emperor for his guilt, this defeat was all caused by my unknown enemy......"

Xu Yifan said astringently.

Yang Chengzu shook his head and replied: "Okay, Yifan, don't blame yourself, this hatred, let's report it sooner or later, the most important thing now is to see how to keep the Daimyo's mansion ......"

Defend the Daimyo's Mansion?

That's difficult, now the strength of the Qing army has increased instead of decreasing, in addition to the Manchurian Eight Banners and the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the official army of Shandong Town has been added, the army under Liu Zeqing alone has 20,000 or 30,000 people, plus the main force of the Qing army, the current strength is close to 150,000, but the main force of the Tianwei army is now only 60,000 or 70,000 people, how can it compete with the Qing army? The most important thing is that now that Dongchang Mansion has fallen, the north, west, and east are already in the hands of the Qing army, and they are extremely passive, and the current Qing army can send elite cavalry to attack Zhangde Mansion and surround the Tianwei army.

This is also the reason why Zhu Jie allowed Xu Yifan to temporarily retreat when he was ineffective in combat, enter the territory of Henan, and defend Kaifeng Mansion.

Hejian Mansion, Duoduo soon got the news of the capture of Dongchang Mansion, Duoduo who got the news was overjoyed, without the Ming army of Dongchang Lake and the Daimyo's Mansion echoing from afar, only the Daimyo's Mansion was left, and now the Qing army is already in control!

"Haha, it's still the fourteenth brother who is a step ahead, if you are in the Forbidden City, you can win thousands of miles away, this Liu Zeqing is really powerful, it is good, it is good!"

Duoduo laughed.

He Luohui on the side echoed: "Yes, Lord Wang, the regent is wise and powerful, and the genius is absolutely incomparable, which is by no means comparable to you and me as courtiers, Lord Wang, now that Dongchang Mansion has been occupied by us, and Dezhou is also under the control of Fang Dayou, next, our target is the Daimyo's Mansion, right?" ”

"That's nature!"

Duoduo sneered: "This time, I want to see which Xu Yifan still guards the Daimyo's Mansion!" ”

He Luohui nodded and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, the walls of the Daimyo's Mansion are tall, and there are still tens of thousands of troops, so it's not so easy to take the Daimyo's Mansion......"

Duoduo sneered, "Not easy? Of course, it's not easy, but this time, the king's goal is not just the Daimyo's Mansion, but the entire Tianwei Army, and I want to encircle and annihilate all the Tianwei Army in the area of the Daimyo's Mansion! ”

He Luohui was shocked, and said in amazement: "Encircle and annihilate the Tianwei Army? Lord Wang, I'm afraid this is impossible, the Tianwei Army is strong, and it is not weaker than our Eight Banner elites......"

"So what?"

Duoduo replied: "Order, all the elite cavalry of Hejian Mansion are all dispatched, advancing in the direction of the Daimyo's Mansion, sending the order to Aobai, ordering Aobai to lead the Zhenglan Banner and Shandong Town to advance towards the Daimyo's Mansion, and send the order to Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to bypass the Daimyo's Mansion and go straight to Zhangde Mansion, give him five days to take Zhangde Mansion in one fell swoop, as long as Zhangde Mansion is taken, the Tianwei Army will be the turtle in the urn, once the Daimyo's Mansion is broken, the Tianwei Army will only have a way to destroy the whole army!" ”

Tan Tai exclaimed: "Lord Wang, you are going to cut off the back road of the Tianwei Army......"

Duoduo said with a smile: "Of course, only by cutting off their back road, the Tianwei army will panic, once the Zhangde Mansion is occupied, the supply in the south will be directly cut off, when the time comes, there is no food and grass inside, there is no rescue outside, stay in the Daimyo Mansion, the Tianwei army is a dead end, escape, so that they have the only way out, however, escape, it means that the entire Tianwei army will fall into the net of our Qing army, this time, this king wants the Tianwei army to fly hard!" ”

I have to say that Duoduo's move is really ruthless enough, once his strategy is realized, the Tianwei army is surrounded in the area of the Daimyo's Mansion and embattled, it will be really dangerous, the whole army will be annihilated, it is almost a certainty, however, Duoduo is shrewd and capable, how can Xu Yifan be a waste?

The cavalry under the command of Duoduo all moved and rushed in the direction of the Daimyo's Mansion again!

At the same time, Xu Yifan also got relevant information, Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry faintly showed signs of a detour to the southeast, and the 20,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry were ready to go, where would the target be?

Xu Yifan didn't need to look at the map, he already understood in his heart, within a radius of two hundred miles from the Daimyo's Mansion, there was almost nothing Xu Yifan didn't know, he was too familiar with this area, Wu Sangui marched south, the only target was Zhangde Mansion, and only Zhangde Mansion had to Wu Sangui dispatch Liang Wan's army, once Zhangde Mansion was taken, then his back road was completely cut off, and the Tianwei Army was surrounded by the elite main force of the four banners of the Qing army, the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the troops of Shandong Town, it would be defeated!

Can't wait any longer, even now the emperor is already on the way to help the Daimyo's Mansion, I'm afraid that it is difficult to quench the thirst of the Daimyo's Mansion, from Nanjing to the Daimyo's Mansion, more than 1,500 miles, such a long distance, even if the three towns of Nanjing march with all their might, it will take at least half a month to be able to arrive, but a hundred miles a day, half a month, and when the three towns of Nanjing arrive at the Daimyo's Mansion, they have become a tired army, not to mention galloping to aid the Tianwei Army, and if you don't make trouble for the Tianwei Army, you will burn high incense!

"Pass the order, the army will abandon the Daimyo's Mansion, take away all the grain, grass and equipment of the Daimyo's Mansion, and withdraw to Zhangde Mansion!"

Xu Yifan shouted in a deep voice.

Deng Jiuru was shocked and asked, "Yifan, do you really want to quit the Daimyo's Mansion?" ”

"Retreat, if we don't retreat, I'm afraid that if we want to go, we won't be able to go......"
