We cannot drag it on any longer. We must break through quickly before the Ming army completely surrounded it.

Even if a god is really unable to save Suksaha, he will not be able to save him.

Although Suksaha is arrogant, he is still able to recognize the situation.

In this case, you can only cheat yourself.

After the decision was issued, the Qing army, led by the Eight Banners and the Biao Battalion soldiers, began to break through.

The Ming army's attack was initiated from the weak side. In front of it was a river valley, and the Qing army had no choice but to retreat.

Suksaha's idea was clear, so the Qing army naturally focused on this direction and attacked fiercely.

The Ming army had not completed the encirclement at all, so they could only watch the Qing army break through.

Although Zheng Chenggong was so angry that his teeth itched, there was no good way.

He originally wanted to completely solve Suksaha by relying on this ambush, but the other party left the ball directly when he saw that the situation was not good.

This is a bit embarrassing.

However, the Ming army still made great achievements in this battle. First, it killed thousands of Qing troops in a wave of ambushing, and then killed tens of thousands of people while attacking on the weak side.

After rough calculations, the Ming army had killed at least 20,000 Qing soldiers.

Although most of them are Green Camp soldiers, they are also quite a result.

However, after Suksaha escaped in a panic, he did not enter Yanzhou City, but ran all the way to Jinan Prefecture.

The reason is simple. After this war, the morale of the Ming army rose sharply, while the morale of the Qing army fell.

The balance between the rise and fall of the other side has been completely broken.

In this case, the Qing army would probably not be able to defend Yanzhou City even if they wanted to defend it.

It’s better to evacuate and retreat back to Jinan in time.

This way, you can rest and adjust your state.

When the Ming army attacked, the Qing army would be in a much better condition.

As for Yanzhou, I can only give it to Zheng Chenggong.

Suksaha made this decision difficult, but he knew it was the only option.

After all, Jinan and Qingzhou are the top priorities of Shandong.

Even if you lose a single Yanzhou sky, it will not collapse.

However, this battle had a great psychological blow to the Qing army.

Especially Suksaha, he was originally full of confidence and felt that he could teach Zheng Chenggong to be a human being.

The result proves that he is far behind Zheng Chenggong in terms of planning and response in the last minute.

Suksaha certainly was not convinced, but at this moment his energy was no longer enough to support him in taking the initiative to fight. Now the Qing army is the best strategy to defend Qingzhou, Jinan.

After returning to Jinan Prefecture, Suksaha immediately went to see Ning Wan.

Now Ning Wan, I have basically recovered from the stroke. Although I am still a little weak, I am much better than before.

Seeing Suksaha suddenly come back, I was shocked.

"Why is the general back? Didn't he march into Yanzhou to fight against the Ming thieves?"

Suksaha made a battle in Yanzhou, Ningwan, I was in charge of Jinan. It was something that both sides had already agreed on before.

Now that Suksaha suddenly returns, something must have happened.

There are only a few possibilities.

Ning Wan, I think the possibility of Suksaha being defeated is greater.

Ning Wan, I was very worried, but he still had to hear the explanation from Suksaha himself.

"Ahem"

Suksaha coughed twice, looking a little embarrassed.

"This matter is a long story, so I'll tell it a long story."

After losing the battle, Suksaha naturally became less arrogant than before.

He briefly told Ning Wan that the battle had happened. After hearing Ning Wan, I gasped.

"This Zheng Chenggong is so sinister that he actually set up an ambush with troops."

In Ning Wan, I think the siege should naturally be open and upright.

The Ming army's ambush in the river valley was obviously not a manifestation of openness and integrity.

“It doesn’t make any sense to say this now.”

Suksaha shook his head helplessly and said, "The most urgent task now is to quickly rectify the defeated troops and rest for a while. It will be a pity that the Ming thieves will attack Jinan and Qingzhou. It will be fine if Yanzhou is lost, but if Jinan cannot defend it, your and my head will be picked up by the Empress Dowager."

Ning Wan, I looked solemn and said listlessly: "This is the reason."

"Governor Ning, how much food is left in Jinan Prefecture now?"

The expedition to Yanzhou consumed a lot of food from the Qing army. In addition to the 20,000 green camps that died, Suksaha also brought back 80,000 people.

With the 20,000 old, weak and remnants left behind in Jinan, he could barely gather a large army of 100,000.

One hundred thousand people are just one hundred thousand mouths. It is necessary to fill the stomachs of so many people. It is not enough without enough food.

"this"

Ning Wan, I was scratching my head a little.

"The food should be enough for the army to eat for a few months, but it seems that there is not enough in Denglai."

"What's the meaning?"

After hearing this, Suksaha felt a little confused.

What is the relationship between the grain of Jinan Prefecture and Denglai?

“That’s how it is”

Ning Wan, I sighed and explained: "I just transferred a batch of food from Denglai not long ago to solve the urgent problem."

"So, Governor Ning wants to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall."

Suksaha understood it, and she was a little amused and crying.

"I have no choice. A good wife cannot cook without rice. She always has to make a choice. The two evils are the least, and Jinan is always more important."

Suksaha nodded and reluctantly agreed with Ning Wan's decision.

If you insist on choosing one of the two, Jinan Prefecture is obviously more important.

"But Denglai can't be missed."

Suksaha frowned and said, "Boguotu has gone to Denglai, but I don't know if he can withstand the Ming thief's navy."

The Denglai coastline is too long, not just a city in Dengzhou.

If Ming Jun chose to go around his home, he would probably not be able to deal with the straightness of Boguotu.

But now Suksaha really doesn't care about these things.

"Why don't you ask the court for help."

Ning Wan, I made a suggestion.

Suksaha shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, I can't open this mouth."

Suksaha boasted about Haikou in front of Xiaozhuang, saying that as long as he is in Shandong, he is as stable as Mount Tai.

But if Zheng Chenggong's army arrived, he would be in a mess and in a mess, it would be unreasonable.

How should he explain to Xiaozhuang at that time?

A tree wants bark and a man wants shame, but Suksaha can't afford to lose this person.

Now he can only resist this situation by himself. It is best to resist in the past. If he cannot resist, he can ask the court for help.

What's more, according to Suksaha, it is estimated that the court's life is not easy now.

After all, Henan and other places still need defense, so the imperial court's troops seemed to be in short supply, so I probably couldn't take care of Shandong.

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone. This is a truth that Suksaha has learned.

Although Zheng Chenggong put a lot of pressure, Suksaha still had to bite the bullet and resist.

He was the hero of the Qing Dynasty who could withstand this wave of offensives.
