Yue Le can no longer wait for his third brother Boluo to lead the army to meet with him.

Because Yue Le knew very well that the large-scale enemy cavalry appeared in Shuyang, which had completely threatened the Qing army's retreat in Haizhou.

This is not something Shi Kun can say with an army of more than 1,000 people.

The south is in a stalemate with the main force of the Northern Expedition Army.

If the west is hit by 20,000 spearheads, any result will be guessed by a fool.

If the retreat route is really cut off, the consequences... Yue Le dared not think about it because he knew that there were really not many troops that the court could use.

You must never let the elite Manchus under your command die on the bank of the Yellow River. This is Yue Le’s biggest wish at this time.

"Send orders...retreat!" Yue Le roared in a nearly tragic voice!

....

Is Chi Er unstoppable?

Chi Erhan is now a little unworthy of his name.

However, the soldiers in the army still like to call him "Chi Yidao".

Chi Erhan is using it now, just like the ones in the hands of ordinary soldiers... a spear!

He was not used to using short guns, and he felt that the firepower was not strong enough.

Of course, the short gun at this time is not as exquisite as later generations. It is also one foot and seven inches long, and its size is... tsk, bloated.

The reason why it is called a short gun is just that it is shorter than the standard long gun at this time, and the shorter one is just the barrel.

If someone says that it is just a spear sawed off the barrel, it is a word.

Therefore, Chi Erhan would rather choose a spear because the spear has high accuracy and great lethality. The key is that it can be picked up and smashed as a hammer.

Wu Zheng has scolded him many times for this.

But the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. General Chi, who is half a head taller than Wu Zheng, always takes the lead when he goes to the battlefield. He doesn't like stabbing people with a bayonet, he likes to carry them backwards and smash them.

Therefore, General Chi's gun is always changing, new ones.

How could his character make Yue Le retreat easily?

To the extent that the battle was done, the two sides had already invested more than 100,000 troops. In the words of General Chi, if they could not chop off Yue Le's head, they would have to cut off one of his thighs. As for the arms, they were too thin and could not resist the creation!

With a command, the first army that had just arrived at Yunti Pass quickly interspered.

The newly reorganized Jinshan Guard launched a crazy pursuit of the Qing army that was retreating towards Huize.

Chi Erhan and Lu's realm were like a piece of fragrant glue, sticking to Yue Le's army's vanguard tightly, and refused to let go.

The battle situation showed a one-sided manner. Yue Le was anxious and sent several messengers to ask for help from Boluo, who was rushing from Jinan Prefecture.

....

Boro did not expect that the situation would become more unbearable than he imagined.

He originally thought that even if the Western Route Army was defeated, as long as he led his army south, he could still stabilize the front line in Yanzhou Prefecture to govern Ziyang.

However, the Northern Expedition Army was advancing too fast, so fast that it could be described as rapid.

Along the way, whenever the Northern Expedition troops arrived, the prefectures and counties along the way surrendered when they heard the news, they were almost decided by an edict.

The sudden change of flags and flags of Dongchang Prefecture and Daming Prefecture made Yanzhou Prefecture, which Boluo originally held hope, open the city gate five days later, and 6,000 defenders took off their Qing army uniforms and put on black clothes.

Why? It’s not that the military uniforms of the Northern Expedition Army are all black.

In this way, half of Yanzhou has no longer had anything to do with the Qing court.

Needless to mention supplies, you have to beware of civil unrest that may break out at any time.

After receiving the rescue letter from his fourth brother Yue Le, Boluo had no choice but to change his original plan to settle in Ziyang and place the temporary headquarters in Xintai, Jinan Prefecture.

Then, Boro began to issue orders and prepare for a decisive battle with the Northern Expedition Army.

In a decisive battle, at least one battle will be organized.

Boluo gave up the reinforcement of Yue Le, but wrote back to ask Yue Le to return north, and even told Yue Le that he could cut off his arm and seek survival.

Yue Le looked depressed when he received Bole's reply.

But he understood that his third brother was right. At this time, he would only be beaten by the Northern Expedition Army, and the consequences would be self-evident.

Without the Western Army as its support, its army in Huai'an has actually become a huge protrusion. If it drags on, it will be surrounded by three sides.

Yue Le finally made a decision, and about 10,000 people in the front line of the abandoned Jincheng were cut off, and led the main force to retreat about 40,000 to Haizhou.

....

Shi Kun made a contribution.

He led two battalions and more than 1,500 people to attack Haizhou.

It's funny that Yue Le left eight thousand defenders in Haizhou. They were originally garrisons of Qingzhou Prefecture, and were the prefectures that surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the past Ming Dynasty.

These people are not loyal to each other, they are just trying to survive.

Yes, the army that surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the past Ming Dynasty is probably in its thirties. How could such an old man have the will to fight bravely?

Whoever is stronger, whoever is surrendered, whoever comes, whoever is surrendered... that's all.

Shi Kun led his troops to the city and fired a rogue of guns at the top of Ximen City.

Haizhou City has fallen.

What's even more ridiculous is that Shi Kun discovered that he had more than a thousand people, and each of them had to take care of six or seven prisoners and surrendered soldiers.

Is it difficult?

It's really difficult!

This is behind enemy lines. If the troops surrender and rebel, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But if he was killed and surrendered, even Shi Kun himself felt it was unethical.

There is no reason why others are surrendered and stab others in the back.

In addition, these 8,000 surrendered soldiers were all Han people, and they killed their compatriots who were surrendering to their own compatriots. Shi Kun really couldn't take this evil move.

So, Shi Kun made a bold decision to deploy these 8,000 surrendered troops in the city government office.

At the same time, a hundred people were drawn from their own army and sent to the surrendered army for control and guidance.

This was a last resort. In Shi Kun's opinion, the success of Haizhou was actually just luck, and the difficulty was how to keep it.

If you can't hold on, this raid is a show and has no practical meaning at all.

But it is too difficult to defend Haizhou, nail it here like a nail, and block the Qing army in the south that was pouring in like a tide!

But Shi Kun wants to try it. Only by trying it can you live up to this body of skin!

While consolidating the defense of the South Gate, he sent people to urgently spread the Third Camp of Shuyang and the Fourth Camp of Pizhou to Haizhou.

But this is actually not very meaningful. Even if the third and fourth battalions are full, there are only more than 1,000 people. Moreover, the fourth battalion of Pizhou has been killed or killed. In addition, the journey is too long, I am afraid that when we arrived in Haizhou, tens of thousands of retreating Qing troops had already swallowed Haizhou and Shi Kun's troops and the belt bones in one bite.

Shi Kun's order was nothing more than an incentive for himself and his subordinates at this time... Not to be precise, it was just a kind of hope.

What kind of terrible battle will these two battalions face in Haizhou?
Chapter completed!
