Guo Zhuangtu hoped that Wang Pingfan could withdraw, but Wang Pingfan failed.

After Su Bai's rebellion, Wang Pingfan immediately led his troops to suppress it. But soon, due to the rebellion of Zhao Liangdong's army, the entire Wu army that broke into the royal village was in chaos. Seeing the collapsed soldiers everywhere, Wang Pingfan knew that it was not good, so he immediately gathered the troops he could control and defended with the camp to form a line of defense, which was originally to avoid panic and chaos spreading, and then wait until he stabilized his position and then strangled the rebels who were in chaos. But seeing that it had already achieved results, withstood the offensive of the rebellious Tartar soldiers of the Su Bai's rebellion, behind it, was attacked by the Eight Banners soldiers led by An Zhuhu, the chief commander of the Qingning Guta.

Under the impact of the Qing army, rebels and defeated troops, Wang Pingfan failed to defend the camp and had to lead the remaining troops to retreat with the defeated troops. Along the way, he saw chaos in the camp and saw corpses lying in pools of blood everywhere. Wang Pingfan was bleeding constantly. He was very unwilling to accept it. The Qing court had only one breath left. They could take the entire north and the entire pass as long as they went further, but why did they suffer this severe damage by the Yellow River? Even Wang Pingfan might even be here today?

Why did Su Zai rebel, why did Zhao Liangdong rebel, and why!

Wang Pingfan was really unwilling to give up. He wanted to gather the defeated soldiers, even if he could not stop the Qing army, he would reduce the losses. However, the Qing army refused to let them go and did not give him the chance to gather the defeated soldiers at all. Whenever he gathered a little, the Qing army following behind would immediately rushed over. Back and forth a few times, all Wang Pingfan could do was to protect himself and not care about the defeated soldiers. But he was still unwilling to give up and still wanted to gather the defeated soldiers and block the Qing army. At this time, his troops next year Zhou Tai asked him not to care about the defeated soldiers anymore and retreat first, otherwise he would not be able to leave.

The other generals also persuaded them one after another, and a deputy general even knelt in front of Wang Pingfan and cried and said, "General, retreat, it's no help. The defeated soldiers just want to escape, and the military orders are useless to them! We can't hold them back anymore. If the general doesn't leave, the Qing army will come up!"

"The general doesn't know the news. We alone can't stop the Qing army. General, please withdraw!"

Some of Wang Pingfan's personal guards also came forward to persuade him to leave the place quickly. However, facing the mercy of his subordinates and guards, Wang Pingfan did not move like a stone man. His eyes were red, he looked around everyone, and said angrily: "Are you afraid of death?! If you weren't afraid of death, how could you ask me to watch those brothers who came from Liaodong die here!"

"General, we"

Most of Wang Pingfan's subordinates shut up in shame because they were all from Liaodong and were a member of the Guanning Army since their father and grandfather. Tonight, it was not only the soldiers who went south to recruit, but also the fellow villagers who came from Liaodong with them, and even their relatives. They were also frightened by the chaos and just wanted to leave here quickly, but they were not really afraid of death, nor did they really want to abandon the Liaodong children.

However, some people are ashamed, but some are not ashamed. A guerrilla warrior said unwillingly: "General, the army is in chaos. Even if we can stop the Qing army here, those people are eager to escape, but they are afraid that more people will die under their own swords than those who die under the Qing sabers! General, it is not the last general who is afraid of death. It is really because of this, and they are powerless to turn things around!"

"What did you say!"

Wang Pingfan pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife and glared at the guerrilla forcefully, which scared the other party to retreat. However, Wang Pingfan understood that although the words of this guerrilla were useless, it did not mean that it was not right, nor did it mean that these silent subordinates did not think so. He held the hilt of the knife in pain and said to all his subordinates: "I know what happened, but I also know that if there were no Qing army to drive away, no matter how chaotic the situation was, at least many brothers would escape! But if no one blocked the Qing army, those brothers who could escape would definitely die here! General Xia's Prime Minister is dozens of miles away. He would definitely send troops to support him. If we block the Qing army for a while here, General Xia can rescue more people. Do you know?"

After hearing what Wang Pingfan said, his subordinates all lowered their heads. They were all struggling in their hearts. If Wang Pingfan sacrificed his life to block the Qing army, they would have no other choice as subordinates.

"The general puts life and death in the absence of the rule, and we subordinates have nothing to say. Could it be that the lives of these people are more valuable than the general? Don't think about anything else. Just follow the general closely. If you really die here, you will die with the general!"

It was Zhou Tai who said this. Wang Pingfan nodded to him and said to everyone: "You don't have to worry. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Today we were defeated, but the prince is still there! As long as the prince is here, we will not be defeated! Even if we die here, our family will not be bullied by the Manchus! But if we really lose, I am afraid that if I don't tell you, you should also know!"

When all the generals heard this, they felt a terrified. They knew the methods of Manzhou people to deal with women and children.

Wang Pingfan's personal guard Zhao Qianghuo drew his knife and shouted resolutely: "General, please rest assured. We will follow you to the death and fight with the Manchus!"

"Yes, I've fought with the Manchus!"

The morale of all the generals was aroused and no longer as brave as before.

Seeing that the morale of his subordinates was aroused, Wang Pingfan immediately ordered them to gather the defeated troops around and choose to hold on one place. He could not let the Qing army go in any case. After gathering about a thousand defeated troops, the Qing army attacked again. This time, the rebel former Shaanxi-Gansu Admiral Zhao Liangdong was attacking the vanguard.

Zhao Liangdong stood on the horse and found that the Wu army opposite was commanded by Wang Pingfan. He had a little conflict. He knew that Wang Pingfan was powerful, but behind him were the soldiers of Manzhou, and he could not tolerate him to retreat timidly. Therefore, he rode forward and rushed forward and shouted: "Wang Pingfan, do you still want to be a hero when you die?"

Hearing Zhao Liangdong's voice, Wang Pingfan was furious, walked out of the crowd, and cursed: "Zhao Liangdong, you thief, the prince is sorry for you, you betrayed him! Don't forget that you, Zhao Liangdong is a Han Chinese, and you have also cut your braids!"

"Han people? Braids?"

Zhao Liangdong sneered, touched his bare head, and said, "Although the braid on my head is cut, the braid in my heart is there!"
