(Thanks to book friends, Tokyo netizens for their 3,000 yuan reward, and to book friends, Piaokongyou for their 100 yuan reward. Please vote for recommendation. Also recommend a book, "The Strongest Chongzhen in History", a relatively cool emperor's text.)

Jueluo Bahana's face was unstable and he blew a horse whip hard.

The battle situation was very different from what he expected.

Originally, he thought that the Han army inlaid with the Shitingzhu had restrained the Red Flag in Xicheng, and he sent the warriors of the Zhen Manchu Zhenglan Banner to attack the city, and he could capture the North City in one fell swoop and control the entire Dezhou.

Who would have thought that the defenders on the city were much more tenacious than he had imagined?

Once, the white-armored Manchu soldiers even rushed to the top of the city, and should have ushered in a one-sided massacre, but were resolved by the defenders, and dozens of white-armored soldiers were not spared!

This is incredible!

The troops in Dezhou are really empty, only the rural soldiers, are there yamen runners guarding the city?

Jueluo Bahana doesn't think so!

Since their siege, the defenders have always been calm and calm, and have responded well.

This is definitely not something that some new recruits can do.

Jueluo Bahana believes that there must be a sharp army in Texas city!

Damn Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou!

At this moment, I heard that the Robhahana was gritting his teeth and wished he could swallow the two of them alive.

If these two people hadn't lie and told the Regent that Texas had empty troops, they could defeat them in one fell swoop. How could the Regent send flag soldiers to collect Shandong?

The Eight Banners soldiers were the elite of the Qing Dynasty, with only 100,000 people in total.

One of these 100,000-armor soldiers died less than one, and they would definitely not withstand the battle against the Ming army.

Therefore, the Regent decided to use the Green Camp troops as a vanguard to attack and plunder.

The so-called green camp is actually the original official army of the Ming Dynasty. After surrendering, it did not break up and reorganize it, but was directly led by the original future and worked hard for the Qing Dynasty.

Take Jifu and the Green Camp soldiers in Henan for example. The Regent asked them to go to Shanxi to fight with Li Zicheng's ministry to consume Li Zicheng's strength.

And the "beautiful misconduct" like collecting Shandong is naturally left to your own people.

But now Jueluo Bahana found that this was definitely not a bad person, but a life-threatening chore. Elite soldiers must have been stationed in the city of Texas. They first showed weakness to lead them to attack the city, and then took the opportunity to consume the troops of the Qing Dynasty.

No, I can't continue to attack.

Now he brought more than 2,000 Manchurian Zhenglan Banner, which has lost more than 30%, and the situation on Shitingzhu may be even worse.

They were not prepared enough here, and the Ant Attack siege was really a disadvantage without siege equipment.

The best choice is to save the strength and return to the court and ask the Regent to send more green camp soldiers to take the lead.

Since he had thought about it, he no longer hesitated and decisively ordered his retreat.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

The flag soldiers who heard the sound of the horn breathed a sigh of relief and retreated quickly.

Jueluo Bahana also sent people to inform Shi Tingzhu troops who attacked Xicheng immediately, and not to make unnecessary sacrifices and evacuate immediately.

The Eight Banners soldiers are still very strong in execution. Except for dozens of people who were injured by hawkish arrows during the retreat, few people were injured and killed in battle again.

Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu gathered their flag soldiers together, and after a counting, they turned around. Originally, they wanted to snatch the dead flag soldiers' bodies back. However, the Texas defenders had enough arrows, and forcibly snatching the bodies might be shot in a concentrated manner, which was too great.

In desperation, Jueluo Bahana could only give up this idea and preserve as much as possible to live.

Texas, I remember that it won’t take long to kill me again. At that time, I will definitely destroy the city in one fell swoop and keep the chickens and dogs in the city.

I promise!

Jueluo Bahana swears secretly in his heart.

......

......

"The Tartars retreated. The Tartars retreated!"

The Ming army on the top of the city were all excited and waved their fists excitedly.

Qin Gongming's face was solemn and silent.

He could understand the soldiers' mood at this moment.

In the minds of ordinary soldiers, the Eight Banners soldiers are not only cruel and tyrannical, but also extremely powerful and invincible.

Now that they have repelled the flag soldiers and defended the city of Texas with their own efforts, how can they not be happy?

When the victory in Dezhou was delivered to the court, the emperor was very happy, and the soldiers would naturally be rewarded.

No matter how you look at it, it is a huge joy.

But Qin Gongming felt a little regretful.

His original plan was to let King Qing Zhu Shuai Qin surrender, so that when the Qing army entered the city, he launched a surprise attack and annihilated it.

But Zhu Shuaiqin was worried that the fraudulent surrender would arouse suspicion from the court, and Qin Gongming had no choice but to settle for the second best, waiting for the Qing army to take the initiative to attack the city.

He asked the soldiers to firmly clear the country and defend the city without leaving, giving the Qing army an illusion that the troops in Dezhou were empty. In this way, the Qing army would inevitably attack the city without hesitation.

Qin Gongming was naturally confident in defending Dezhou. But what he wanted to do was not only defending Dezhou, but also to consume as much of the Qing army as possible.

The number of elite Eight Banners is limited, and one less dies, and it is impossible to get effective supplements in a short period of time.

If these more than 5,000 Eight Banners soldiers could be wiped out, it would definitely be a huge blow to the Qing court.

But this is not something Qin Gongming can do alone, and it also requires the "cooperation" of the Qing army generals.

But Jueluo Bahana was very cautious and chose to withdraw after weighing the pros and cons.

In this way, this Qing army still preserved a lot of strength.

If the 20,000 people under Qin Gongming were all elite soldiers, they could choose to go out of the city to pursue them. However, most of them were trained in the countryside, so it was still possible to defend the city. Fighting with the Eight Banners soldiers was basically a death sentence.

Therefore, Qin Gongming could only watch Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu lead their troops to evacuate.

After this battle, I believe that the Qing court will have a new understanding of Shandong's virtuality and reality, and its importance to Shandong will also increase. It is difficult to guarantee that the troops will not be adjusted.

If he tilts his troops to the eastern line and wants to take Shandong first, the garrison pressure of Qin Gongming and Gao Jie will also increase greatly.

However, these are not issues that need to be considered immediately. Just now, a great victory has been won, and all Qin Gongming has to do is to send someone to count the head counts of the soldiers who beheaded Qing army, and then report the victory to the court.

Since the capital fell into the capital in March and died for the death of the late emperor, the court has been under great pressure, and bad news comes almost every day.

Although the princes in the court did not say anything, they were actually unsure. At this time, it really needed a great victory to inspire people.

The victory of the Defence War is not only related to the gains and losses of a city and a place, but also affects the entire world.

This battle even broke the myth of the invincible Eight Banners Army, allowing the imperial court officials to stand up straight and fight with the Eastern Barbarians to the end.

After all, the three hundred years of the founding of the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly the truth in the minds of the people.

Now that Li Zicheng is in a state of declining power, Zhang Xianzhong is trapped in Sichuan. That is, the Ming Dynasty court in the south has the strength to compete with the Donglu. As long as the court can show the determination and strength to protect the people, the people's hearts will be inclined to the court and use it for it.
