Now everyone has noticed the huge changes in the situation on the battlefield. Zuo Menggeng's judgment just now was completely correct. A sudden army, that is, Beigu Bo Zhou Zhisheng's army, was besieging Zhang Tianlu and the camps of the Zhang Tianfu brothers, were now gunfire, fighting, and roars one after another. Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianlu's camps were constantly being attacked like tides.

For the Ming army of Yue, attacking the Zhang brothers is not the best choice. Their camps are not easy to unfold and are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Under normal circumstances, the Ming army of Yue would definitely choose other fortresses that are easier to attack to launch an attack. However, it may be that the actions of Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu made people angry. Now countless Ming army of Yue are besieging Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu's troops with all their might.

The troops of Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu brothers were also severely damaged in the battle of Huai'an. Although many soldiers were temporarily conquered, the veterans in the team had already lost nearly half of them. Now the Ming army of Yue has concentrated twice or even three times the troops to besiege Zhang Tianlu. The situation is naturally unstoppable.

Zhang Tianlu saw with his own eyes that several camps were directly captured by the Yue Ming army. Although many defeated soldiers and generals escaped from the broken camps, more generals became prisoners of the Yue Ming army. Moreover, as the Yue Ming army's offensive became more and more fierce, his troops were almost unable to hold on.

But now Zuo Menggeng continued to sarcastically: "No one is allowed to withdraw now. I'm really embarrassed, General Zhang!"

Zhang Tianlu was so angry that he was actually in the same rank, but he had no right to mobilize Zuo Menggeng's troops, so he could only hope to go with Zuo Menggeng and Dong Yuan: "General Zuo, General Dong, brothers' camp is about to be unable to hold on. Everyone is working hard for the Qing Dynasty and always supporting each other!"

But Zuo Menggeng was completely disrespectful: "The request of the Regent and General Zhang is that no one is allowed to withdraw, especially General Zhang, you must set an example and not withdraw! General Zhang, please rest assured. I will go back to the camp immediately and let the soldiers guard the left wing of Zhang's camp to ensure that everything is safe!"

Although Dong Yuan is a Jurchen, he doesn't have much to say when encountering this situation. After all, the current situation can be said to be terrible, and he cannot sacrifice himself to cover up the Zhang brothers.

Everything is just like Zhou Zhisheng's pre-war analysis. Although there were about 20,000 Qing troops under Huai'an City, these troops were the Han army and the Eight Banners of the Han army. The fighting will was not as good as the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Mongolia. They were exhausted until now. After defeating the Zhang brothers, the other Qing troops were frightened and had no intention of fighting. Even Dong Yuan, the Jurchen, retreated, and Geng Jimao even said: "Everyone will go back to their camps, but no one is allowed to retreat!"

However, Geng Jimao's words "No one is allowed to withdraw" are actually a bit redundant. Although "no one is allowed to withdraw" on the surface, it is actually "With the brothers Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu, everyone should run away quickly!"

After all, the Qing army and Wang Zhiren and Zhang Huangyan only had a draw, but now Zhou Zhisheng suddenly led 8,000 elite troops to the battlefield. The soldiers of the brothers Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu were already powerless to make the world come true, so everyone could only try their best to preserve their strength. Even Dong Yuan, the Jurchen, had the same idea.

But this has caused a tragic deception between Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu: "Brothers, since you are friends in times of distress, you must support each other. You can't let me take on the offensive of Jinhua thieves alone!"

But Geng Jimao said without hesitation: "Then we must support each other. Brother, I will go back to the camp to dispatch troops to rescue Brother Zhang!"

But now he was fearless and went out of the camp and walked back: "Let your brothers follow me quickly, and if you don't retreat, you may not be able to retreat!"

The reason why Geng Jimao dared to do this was naturally because of his father Geng Zhongming's extraordinary merit of killing Jiangnan in battle. As long as he led his troops to escape back to the Qing Dynasty, he had to continue to use him.

Dong Yuan also found that there was not much time left. Now Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu, the brothers in distress, are still resisting with all their might. The military front of the Yue Ming army has not yet come to him, but it is only a matter of time before Zhou Zhisheng solves the Zhang brothers. No matter how he does it, he cannot save the defeat.

Therefore, he followed Geng Jimao and said loudly: "Brothers, I will return to the camp to dispatch troops. Please rest assured, two Generals Zhang. I will report everything today to the Regent. The Regent will not blame us!"

However, Dong Yuan said "returning to the camp to mobilize troops", but in fact he hurried north with his troops, and walked faster than Zuo Menggeng. He was usually responsible for monitoring Zuo Menggeng's troops, so he was almost inseparable from Zuo Menggeng. But now the disaster is coming, and Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu brothers can't hold on for long. The Qing army's collapse near Huai'an Prefecture City is also close to him. If he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to withdraw quickly, he may not be able to leave.

When he left, he even forgot to notify Zuo Menggeng, and Zuo Menggeng didn't expect Dong Yuan to run so fast: "It's still the Eight Banners of Manchuria that life is comfortable. If you want to run, you can retreat. Anyway, the Qing court will not hold him accountable. Do you think I really don't know that he is Tong Yangjia, Manchuria? My father died so bizarrely last year, maybe it was his murderous move!"

Although Tong Yangjia's confidentiality skills are very good, he is still an indescribable person. After all, the Eight Banners relatives and nobles have repeatedly made extraordinary moves, and even showed off his special identity at the dinner table. So some rumors have always been heard into Zuo Menggeng's ears. The recent setbacks in the war have made many Zuo Liangyu move closer to Zuo Menggeng, so Zuo Menggeng finally knew that Dong Yuan was Tong Yangjia and Tong Yangjia was Dong Yuan.

Now Zuo Menggeng has a lot of strange words, and the generals around him reminded him one after another: "General, be careful of your words, be careful of your words. If this is heard by the princes Beijiale, I don't know what kind of disaster will cause!"

Although Zuo Menggeng's Niu Lu was mainly composed of Zuo Liangyu's old subordinates, and most of them were senior generals and his confidants, the Eight Banners used the strategy of mixing sand. Not only did the Han army outside Zuo Liangyu's old subordinates incorporate into Niu Lu, but they also sent many spies and the old Han army before entering the pass.

If it weren't for the first battle between Zuo Menggeng and Zhang Huangyan in Huai'an, the generals around Zuo Menggeng would have said it even more harshly.

But because Zuo Menggeng's troops suffered heavy damage and the morale was low, and now the Qing army is almost collapsed and panicked, so some of the interested people around Zuo Menggeng will tolerate his strange words at most just reminders.

But Zuo Menggeng refused to listen to the dissuasion at all: "Yes, if this is said to the Regent and the Princes, Beile will naturally cause a great disaster. However, last year, Prince Yu and Prince Su's army were almost gone, and there were only a few thousand elite troops across the north of the river. This year, the Regent's Nanzheng will most likely end with the same outcome. At that time, Princes, Beile will not be in the mood to deal with me!"

Zuo Menggeng was an alarmist statement, so someone immediately advised: "General, be careful of his words. Although the situation in Huai'an Prefecture is irreversible, the situation is not as bad as you said. The Regent estimated that Zhou Zhisheng's reinforcements would be at most 8,000. He and all the princes, Beile had already arranged reinforcements in the north and could definitely deal with them. Now, Zhou Zhisheng's reinforcements should be only 8,000!"

The facts proved that all the princes, including Dorgon, were still scared of the disastrous defeat of Dodo and Haoge in Jiangnan last year. Although they were light on the surface, they still transferred several Niulu to Fengyang and Huaian Prefecture, and according to the internal judgment of the Qing army, they were enough to deal with Zhou Zhisheng's offensive.

But Zuo Menggeng sneered: "There were more than 8,000 people after Zhou Zhisheng and Wang Zhiren and Zhang Huangyan merged. Even if Wang Zhiren and Zhang Huangyan suffered heavy casualties, there was still a huge and astonishing variable in this Southern Expedition!"

After Zuo Menggeng said this, the generals around him were very curious, and someone immediately asked: "What other huge and amazing variables are there?"

Zuo Menggeng laughed: "Of course it is this marquis Zuo Menggeng. The regent said that as long as Zhou Zhisheng's reinforcements do not exceed 8,000, his deployment will be absolutely foolproof, but what will happen if Zhou Zhisheng's eight,000 plus thirty Niulu armored soldiers!"

Zuo Menggeng's so-called "thirty Niulu's Armored Soldiers" are completely a blaming. Zuo Menggeng and Dong Yuan's troops combined have the so-called thirty Niulu. Among them, there are only fifteen Niulus who truly belong to Zuo Menggeng, not to mention that Zuo Menggeng's army has suffered severe damage in the previous battle.

However, the movements of Zuo Menggeng's troops were indeed far-reaching. As he said, even if Wang Zhiren and Zhang Huangyan did not send out one army or another, the fifteen Niulus of Zuo Menggen alone was enough to make Dorgon's careful deployment complete, not to mention that Wang Zhiren and Zhang Huangyan could mobilize at least a few thousand combat soldiers.

None of the war generals around Zuo Menggeng would make such a judgment, so these generals were stunned, but someone immediately said: "General, you are right. Although the Qing Dynasty will definitely lose this southern expedition, we should work hard for the Chengtian Dynasty!"

Zuo Menggeng immediately sneered: "Yes, we might as well work hard for the Chengtian Dynasty. If anyone wants to continue to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, then it is my meeting gift to Emperor Chengtian!"

While speaking, Zuo Menggeng's servants and personal soldiers had already been killed. As long as anyone dared to go against Zuo Menggen's meaning, it would be the end of the execution on the spot. The Qing generals present felt that Zuo Menggeng's words were indeed reasonable. Since the Qing army was defeated this southern expedition again, no matter which aspect it was considered, it would be a better choice.
