"Prince Yu, are the Eastern Route Army and the Eastern Route Army really wiped out?"

Yue Le on the side was also pale, and he couldn't believe it in his heart, Azig, it can be said that in terms of military talent, none of the princes in front of him can surpass Azig, the title of the first warrior in Manchuria is not something that anyone can get, in Huai'an Mansion, just in the face of Zhu Jie's group of guerrillas, he lost so badly, even Azig was defeated, is this Zhu Jie really the god of war?

Alas......

Duoduo sighed bitterly, Azig can be said to be the closest person to him outside of the fourteenth brother, among the brothers, he is the youngest, and when he was ignorant, Azig was taking care of him, but he didn't expect that after he went out to conquer the Guannei, after Shengjing, heaven and man were separated forever......

"Yue Le, don't say it, Azig's death is already a sure thing, the 70,000 army, only 20,000 people have withdrawn from Huai'an Mansion, and the Eastern Route Army has been completely broken up......"

Duoduo replied in a snort.

Everyone was silent for a while, 70,000 troops, only 20,000 people remained, usually a big battle, the main army casualties more than one-third, it has seriously affected the combat power, more than half, it will collapse, now the remnants of the East Route Army are only thirty percent left, even the commander has died, it is strange not to collapse.

Duoduo continued: "Now Tan Tai's remnants of the defeated army and Ni Kan have joined together in Jining, but the army of the Ming court, under the leadership of Song Jiaxing and Zhao Zhenghang, is approaching in the direction of Jining along the Grand Canal, and it will almost be able to reach Jining today. ”

The army of the Ming court......

Everyone was a little panicked, just the Tianwei army led by Xu Yifan and Sun Chuanting and the three towns of Nanjing had already made it difficult for the Qing army to parry, and now from Jianghuai another army of the Ming court was killed, this is a personal life, even if the combat power of this army is not as good as the Tianwei army, but if he can defeat Azig's East Route Army, his combat power should not be underestimated, this time the Qing army is really dangerous......

"Prince Yu, Prince Zhuang, father, I think we have to take action, once the army of the Ming Court arrives in the area of Dongchang Mansion, then we will be completely trapped in the Daimyo's Mansion for a generation, and it will be difficult to jump out of this huge encirclement......

Yue Le said astringently.

Prince Yu nodded, he admired Yue Le very much, Manchurian Eight Banners, their generation is the most talented, from the earliest Dai Shan, to the back of Amin, Huang Taiji, and then to the back of their three brothers, all of them are commanders who can fight well, but in the next generation, they are obviously inferior to them, the most representative Yue Tuo and Haoge, also the eldest, one died in battle, the other was executed by his three brothers, and the rest is even more talented, only this Yue Le remains, Duoduo was very optimistic that Yue Le would become the military commander of the Eight Banners in the future.

"Yue Le is right, there is not much time left for us, if the Ming army is surrounded on three sides, our way back has been cut off, and the supply of grain and grass materials is not available, the morale of the army is low, and there is no doubt that we will be defeated, now we only have two ways to go, one is to wait for Mongolian reinforcements, however, even if the Mongolian reinforcements arrive, whether they can turn the tide of the war and defeat the Ming army, it is also unknown, our Manchurian elite cavalry is not the opponent of the Ming army, the Mongolian cavalry is even worse, they don't even have a single artillery, just relying on sabers, It is too difficult for the bow and arrow to defeat and compete with the elite of the current Ming army. The other way is to take advantage of the fact that the Ming army has not yet closed the encirclement, jump out of the encirclement, withdraw to the area around the capital, and prepare to fight again with the whole army! ”

Dodor replied.

Abatai hesitated for a moment and asked, "Prince Yu, is there any new will on the regent's side?" ”

Duoduo shook his head bitterly and replied: "A few days ago, the regent ordered the king to do his best to support the Daimyo's mansion for a month, if the Mongolian cavalry can come to the aid in time, then fight to the death with the Ming army, if the Mongolian cavalry has no news, then let the king decide to advance and retreat, it has been twenty days now, and the king has not received any news from the Mongolian cavalry, but the Ming army will indeed not give us too much time, and now the Ming court army is about to cross Jining, marching with all its might, that is, five or six days, You can arrive in the area of Dongchang Mansion, now Xu Yifan has also led the army north a few days ago, at most two days, it will arrive at the city of Daimyo's Mansion, now I am afraid that even if the Mongolian cavalry comes to help, it is difficult to reverse the current situation, twenty or thirty thousand Mongolian cavalry will not play a big role for us at all, the firearms of the Ming army are too powerful, the Mongolian cavalry has no experience in dealing with firearms, it is completely a live target......"

In the face of the powerful firearms of the Tianwei Army and the Three Towns of Nanjing, the Manchurian elite cavalry has paid enough tuition, and the Manchurian elite who died under the firearms must have at least 70,000 or 80,000 people, so to speak, if it were not for the powerful red-coated artillery and flintlock muskets of the Ming army, it would definitely not be able to compete with the 200,000 or 300,000 Manchurian army.

"Prince Yu, I think that we must hurry up and retreat, and preserve our strength, now our Manchuria can no longer withstand any losses, the defeat of the eastern and western armies has greatly damaged our vitality, and even hurt the foundation, if the middle route army of our Daimyo Mansion wants to make some mistakes, it will really be over......"

Yue Le said.

"Yue Le, stop it!"

Abatai's face on the side changed greatly, this Yue Le spoke too disproportionately, what is the end of it, this is a curse Daqing......

"Abatai!"

Duoduo waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, although what Yue Le said is a little ugly, but after all, it is an opinion, young man, no matter what, you can't lose your sharpness, once you don't even have this sharpness, then how can you lead the army to charge?" What's more, what he said is not unreasonable, our Qing Dynasty can indeed no longer afford any losses......"

"But, Dodor!"

Abatai said urgently: "If we want to withdraw the army again, it means that the Ming Court has recovered almost all the areas, we launched a nationwide army in one go, which lasted two years, and the loss of troops was lost, but it was in vain, and the vitality was greatly damaged, and the Ming Court will be under the leadership of Zhu Jie in the future, but it will become stronger and stronger, and we will have no chance to turn over in the Qing Dynasty, and when the time comes, we will be able to hold the city of Beijing?" Can you hold the Shanhaiguan? ”
