He Tuhai personally lost more than half of the elite of the Qing Dynasty in Jiangnan!

He personally fought this fiasco that almost shook the foundation of the Qing Dynasty!
He has a picture of the sea!
He is a sinner of the Qing Dynasty!
……

Standing on the south bank of the Yangtze River, Tu Hai looked at the countless fragments of ferry boats on the river, and his face gradually became ashamed...

My heart is full of unwillingness. Is half of the main force of the Qing Dynasty really going to be wiped out in the south of the Yangtze River?
Looking at the big river in front of him, so wide that he couldn't see the other side, in Tu Hai's heart at this time, he no longer had the boldness and grandeur that he had when he crossed the river in the south.

Instead, it is full of despair!
Looking at the greenish-yellow river water, the guilt in Tu Hai's heart continued to ferment, and he gradually had the urge to jump into the river and die for his country.

At this time, Li Guoying came to report eagerly.

"My lord, the bandit cavalry is less than twenty miles away from our army!"

Tai Ying'a on the side heard the words and said.

"Your Excellency, please order!"

"I, Qing Dynasty, will fight to the death, and I will definitely defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and turn the tide of battle!"

Knowing that at this time, Tae Young-ah still had unrealistic fantasies in her heart.

Tuhai ignored Taiying, but asked Li Guoying.

"General Li, do you have any suggestions for the current situation?"

Li Guoying pondered for a while, then spoke.

"Your Excellency, our army may go upstream, withdraw to Zhenjiang for defense, and then ask Jiangbei for help. It is already planned for the future."

The current Qing army definitely does not have the morale to fight the Ming army in the field.

If Li Guoying and others wanted to survive, they could only find a way to find a strong city to rely on.

In this part of the south of the Yangtze River, the best choice should actually be Jiangning!
After all, it was once the southern capital of Ming Dynasty, Jiangning City was surrounded by tigers and dragons, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the city defenses were absolutely solid.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Had it not been for the fact that there were too many talents in the Hongguang court, it would not have been easy for the Qing army to break through Nanjing.

At the very least, Nanjing's 100-mile-long brick city wall is no joke.

However, Jiangning is too far away. When Tu Hai and others withdraw to Jiangning, they may have been completely wiped out by the Ming army in the wild.

After weighing the gains and losses, Zhenjiang, which is not far from Jiangyin, is the best choice for the Qing army at present.

It is close to Jiangyin, and it can barely be regarded as a strong city!
Tu Hai nodded and said.

"Quickly, order the army to retreat to Zhenjiang!"

Tuhai gave an order, and the Qing army began to move towards Zhenjiang.

Along the way, the marching team was dragged out for a long time.

In this process, some people kept breaking away from the main force of the Qing army and became wandering soldiers.

Tuhai and the others are now focused on escaping, and they don't care about those old deserters.

Choose to turn a blind eye and close one eye, and choose to turn a blind eye to the deserters that continue to appear.

Because the Qing army went up the river.

During the march of the Qing army along the river, the navy of the Ming army continued to harass along the way.

The artillery was aimed at the Qing army on the shore, firing rounds of salvos!

Amid the rumble of shelling, the solid shells mercilessly plowed out blood gullies made up of stumped limbs and broken arms in the Qing army formation.

Or the flower bomb exploded, and the shock wave sent a Qing army flying out.

A lot of shells fell through the air and hit the river water, shooting up jets of water.

Many soldiers of the Qing army were soaked in their clothes by the spurting river water!

Gusts of cold wind blew from the surface of the river, and these soldiers of the Qing army whose clothes were wet couldn't help shivering.

……

At this moment, the vanguard cavalry of the Ming army who were chasing the Qing army arrived.

Zhang Meng looked not far away. The Qing army, who had formed a line for the march, led the team and rushed over without the slightest hesitation.

The fine cavalry of the Ming army gallops on the battlefield. The vigorous stature of the horses complements the strong knights on horseback.

It looks even more mighty and majestic!
The cavalry in iron armor came roaring, the power, the movement, just one glance, and you will never forget it.

The cavalry of the Ming army did not adopt the wall cavalry tactics this time, but quickly adjusted their formation, put out a geese formation, and went straight to the Qing army.

In just an instant, the cavalry of the Ming army cut off the marching team of the Qing army from the middle and divided it into two.

Then it was interspersed back and forth several times!

The formation of the Qing army became a mess.

There was chaos everywhere along the banks of the Yangtze River.

The Qing army was suddenly attacked by the cavalry of the Ming army. A large number of Qing soldiers rushed to escape and trampled, and many Qing soldiers were squeezed into the Yangtze River.

Facing the roaring cavalry of the Ming army, the infantry of the Qing army were beaten unilaterally.

Their formations were constantly cut, and horseshoes trampled over them, leaving behind countless corpses.

However, when the cavalry of the Qing army saw the cavalry of the Ming army approaching, instead of turning back to fight the cavalry of the Ming army, they covered their own infantry.

Instead, he ran faster and faster!

It's obvious that Tuhai is abandoning his car to save his handsomeness again!
Since Jiaxing, he has been abandoning his car to protect his handsomeness!
From abandoning the peasants and keeping the soldiers; to abandoning the old and weak and keeping the elite; to abandoning the infantry and keeping the cavalry...

Even until abandoning the Green Camp and keeping the Eight Banners!
Tu Hai has been weighing and making the best choice in his eyes.

"Quick! Speed ​​up the march!"

"Don't be bitten by the Ming thief cavalry, it's hard to get out if you get bitten!"

Li Guoying rode fast and kept ordering his subordinates.

Looking back at the battlefield behind him, looking at the infantry of the Qing army being driven like cattle and sheep by the cavalry of the Ming army, his heart was cold.

From the point of view of interests, the choice Tuhai made in terms of abandoning the car and keeping his handsome man is indeed the best solution!

That's right!

But his behavior was completely worse for the low morale of the Qing army.

The green battalion soldiers below would think, since Tuhai can abandon the infantry now, next time, will they simply abandon the cavalry in the green battalion and keep only the Mongolian cavalry?

Then, the Mongolian cavalry in the army would also think, since Tuhai can abandon the green cavalry now, will he also abandon them in the future, and only keep the Manchurian soldiers?
Then, the soldiers of the Eight Banners under the Five Banners will also think about it.

Now that Tuhai can abandon the Green Battalion Cavalry, will they also throw away the Eight Banners soldiers who are under the Five Banners as cannon fodder, and only keep the Eight Banners who are under the Three Banners?

If everyone thinks this way, how could the morale of the Qing army be so high!
Li Guoying was full of worries about this.

……

On the battlefield, the cavalry of the Ming army was fighting against the infantry of the Qing army.

The cavalry charged and broke through the formation again and again, causing the infantry of the Qing army to complain endlessly.

Facing the charge of the Ming cavalry, they were powerless to resist!

As Tuhai withdrew the cavalry of the Qing army from the battlefield, more and more people realized that they had been abandoned.

In desperation, he chose to surrender to the Ming army!
On the battlefield, a large number of Qing troops abandoned their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for surrender.

Zhang Meng ordered the cavalry of the Ming army to take the prisoners of war and report the victory to the main force of his own army in the rear.

Looking at the countless surrendered soldiers on the battlefield, Zhang Meng's heart was filled with joy and a touch of pride.
