At the same time, in the camp of the Qing army, Tuhai was also worrying about the war.

After fighting fiercely with the Ming army outside Jiaxing for ten days, Tu Hai had to admit it.

In this battle, the probability of the Qing Dynasty winning is very small!
It can even be said that the defeat is doomed!

After ten days of fierce fighting, the Qing army hardly took any advantage.

The number of casualties per day is at least five or six thousand. After ten days, the total number of casualties of the Qing army is almost [-]...

You know, this is a real number of casualties!
They were all killed on the battlefield!

Almost no moisture!
Even the casualties of the Eight Banners soldiers are rising steadily.

After ten days, the cumulative number reached more than [-], which can be described as heavy casualties.

Today's Tu Hai no longer dared to think that the Qing Dynasty could win this battle, and that he would be able to win the Jiangnan in one fell swoop.

He accepts reality!

It has long been clear in my heart that the Ming thief is really making a comeback now, and it is incurable!

The only extravagant thing Tuhai can ask for now is to end this decisive battle with dignity as soon as possible, lead the troops to retreat, and minimize the casualties of the army.

Bring the main force of the Qing army across the river again!

Don't be annihilated in Jiangnan by Ming thieves!
However, the battle situation at this time is very anxious, how can Tu Hai withdraw as soon as he said so?

Originally, the Qing army was suppressed and beaten by the Ming army for ten days, and its morale was low.

As soon as Tuhai ordered the withdrawal of troops, it is estimated that all the troops would scramble to be the first to withdraw.

At that time, the Ming army will give chase again!
The destruction of the army may only happen in an instant.

At this moment, Tu Hai in the big tent shrank his neck suddenly, feeling a biting chill.

He left the book eucalyptus, came to the brazier, flicked the charcoal fire a few times, and a gust of hot air rushed towards his face.

At this moment, a soldier walked in from outside, saluted Qian, and said.

"Your Excellency, it's snowing outside, and the temperature has dropped drastically today. The generals below have reported that the army is running out of firewood."

Hearing this, Tu Hai frowned.

Striding out of the big tent, looking up at the sky, I saw the fluttering and heavy snow.

Countless snowflakes fell from the sky, turning the earth little by little into a vast expanse of whiteness covered in silver.

Along with it, there were bursts of cold air.

A heavy snowfall caused the temperature around Taihu Lake to drop by at least ten degrees...

Tu Hai looked at the snow scene outside, but he was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery at all, but felt a deep pain in his heart.

The morale of the Qing army was already low, and now it has encountered such heavy snow and cooling... the consequences are unimaginable!
……

Zhu Hongyu stood at the top of the city, reaching out his palm to catch the falling snowflakes.

Snowflakes fluttered down and landed on his palm.

The pure white snowflakes formed a stark contrast with Zhu Hongyu's slender white fingers.

Against the background, his fingers became more and more slender and beautiful!
The snowflake lay quietly in his palm, and was gradually melted by his body temperature, turning into transparent water droplets.

Feeling the cold wind blowing in front of him, Zhu Hongyu shrank his neck and said.

"It's snowing, it's cooling down!"

"How much is it now?"

...

Zhu Hongyu asked the accompanying secretary beside him.

The accompanying secretary responded, then turned to get the thermometer.

Not long after, he brought a thermometer to Zhu Hongyu.

Zhu Hongyu glanced at it, and then his heart was also full of amazement.

minus eleven degrees...

Good guy, you have to know that this is Jiangnan, not North!
It can only be said that the climate of the Little Ice Age was truly terrifying.

"This time it snowed, the temperature dropped by at least ten degrees in one breath."

"With such a drastic drop in temperature, many people in the army may be infected with the wind and cold."

"Ask the logistics department to prepare ginger soup, medicinal materials, and some thermal blankets in advance, and distribute them to the troops."

However, when he said this, Zhu Hongyu's face was full of worry.

It's so cold today!

Zheng Chenggong spoke from the side.

"It's a good thing to say that the temperature is cooling down now!"

The worry on Zhu Hongyu's face eased a little, and he asked.

"how you said that?"

Zheng Chenggong said.

"The drop in temperature will not only affect my Ming Dynasty, but the Qing army will also be affected."

"My Ming now has Jiaxing City to rely on after all, which can be used as a shelter from the wind and rain, but the Qing army wants to camp in the wild, and the impact must be greater than ours."

"How can it not be a good thing?"

"Why isn't this heavy snow coming at the right time? Doesn't it mean that His Highness Jian Guo is destined to be in his body, and even God wants to protect him?"

When Zhu Hongyu heard this, the expression on his face relaxed a little.

But he didn't really relax. Most of the Ming soldiers were from the south, and their cold resistance was definitely not as good as that of the Qing army.

Although the Ming army has Jiaxing City as a support!

But with today's heavy snowfall, it's really hard to say whether the Ming army took advantage of it or not.

But in any case, what Zheng Chenggong said was correct.

This heavy snowfall must have a certain bonus effect on the morale of the Ming army.

At the very least, Zhu Hongyu's aura of destiny can be blessed once again!
……

Originally, the two sides tacitly lowered the intensity of the war, but after the heavy snow fell, it became a tacit truce.

A large number of soldiers from both sides confronted each other on the battlefield, but no fighting broke out!
Outside Jiaxing City, it was rare to regain calm!
It was also rare for Zhu Hongyu to get down to the top of the city and take a good rest.

That night, he had a good night's sleep.

When he woke up, it was almost nine o'clock the next morning.

Zhu Hongyu stretched his waist to relieve his fatigue, put on his clothes, opened the door and went out.

There is a fire in the house, and it is warm!
But after he opened the door, he was shocked by the scene outside the house.

The whole world seemed to have turned into a world of ice and snow. In the sky, large flakes of snow were still falling and dancing.

"Gene Era"

On the roofs and on the streets, there are pure white snow several feet deep everywhere.

A large amount of snow accumulated on the branches, bending the branches of a green pine and cypress.

On the eaves, there are sticks of crystal-clear icicles hanging!

A gust of cold wind came over the face, making Zhu Hongyu shrank his neck.

I glanced at the thermometer hanging on the wooden pillar at the door of the house. The temperature had reached minus 26 degrees, which was colder than yesterday.

As soon as Zhu Hongyu turned his gaze, he saw the soldiers of the imperial guards on duty in the courtyard.

They were wearing armored stomachs, standing every few steps, and the snowflakes in the sky were constantly falling, but they didn't move at all.

Let the snowflakes keep falling on them until the white snow covers them little by little!
They are also motionless!
The discipline and obedience of the soldiers of the Ming army are fully revealed!

The biting cold wind and the snow all over the sky could not bend their straight waists in the slightest.

Zhu Hongyu felt a little emotional, suddenly, he seemed to see himself back then.

He is also a soldier himself!
