"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

"Come, come, protect your master..."

"Dog slave, are you blind? Let your master go first..."

Like the autumn wind blowing over the fallen leaves, the Qing Dynasty's full expectation was torn to pieces in this instant. In the hazy wilderness, people and horses were running around and fleeing everywhere.

Even the Qing army's establishment level could not stand this not a fierce flood offensive at this time. It only had the ability to resist and had no power to fight back.

It was not until a few minutes later that they rushed out several miles away from the ditches, rivers and low-lying terrain that they realized that the flood attack seemed a little unfair...

"Master, this seems to be..."

There was a slave next to Dorgon who was about to say something to Dorgon, but when he saw Dorgon's expression, he subconsciously stopped talking.

What can I say about this? Didn’t you see the master want to eat people?

Dorgon looked at the scenes not far away gloomy, letting the rain wet his cheeks and body, and he felt like he had fallen into the Avici Hell and forced himself out.

When the model army took the initiative to launch, he vaguely expected something wrong.

After all, after fighting with Xu Changqing for so many years, he understood very well that Xu Changqing was not a targetless person? Since he did things, he would definitely have a purpose.

But greed and good situation blinded his eyes and made him unable to help but raise his strategic goals.

It was not until this time that he realized that Xu Changqing was either trying to do something with this flood or disrupt their rhythm!

At present, even though the flood is not big, the high area here has even stopped, but his tent, his ceremonial guards, their food and grass... are afraid that they have been brewed by the water.

Thinking that Dorgon's teeth were about to be broken, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more angry he became.

If they release water this afternoon, even if the flood is not large, it will definitely be much larger than the scale at this time.

In this way, it may not be possible to cause fatal damage to the Model Army and the Ming Army, but there is no problem in making them embarrassed.

Who would have thought that in this hesitation, it was turned upside down in just a few hours...

In this state, Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou, Ning Wan, and others dare not say much? They all hugged in the corner like little chickens, for fear of being noticed by Dorgon.

What else can you say?

Even though they have part of the right to suggest and Hong Chengchou even has part of the right to plan the situation, can they make decisions? Do they dare to make decisions?

Not to mention anything else, just half an hour ago, when Duoduo and Jirgalang went to war, the Qing Dynasty was still full of triumphant songs and joy.

Are you tired of singing the opposite tune in that state?

Even Sony seemed to have been drained of energy and no longer had any strength.

Now that things have come to this, what should we do?

Although the foundation of the Qing Dynasty was not destroyed at this time, the water level was too small, but it was already like this and there was no food left. How could I fight this battle?

Especially those Mongolian slaves, armored slaves, including those irregular forces within Manchuria, how should they be arranged?

Don't think that true Manchus are just a solid piece.

As mentioned earlier, the old Nurhaci was born as a "son-in-law", which is the legendary son-in-law. The Jianzhou lineage of Aisin Gioro gradually rose after the old slaves rose up. Before that, the bloodline of Jurchens was much more noble than that of Aisin Gioro.

Not to mention anything else, even the Yehenara clan of the Lao Buddha family is much nobler than Aisin Gioro, and the rewards given to them by the Ming Dynasty were far beyond Jianzhou.

Although Yehenara eventually failed in the military operation against Jianzhou, the famous curse was left: "Even if Yehenara is left, Jianzhou will be destroyed!"

Boring.

Unspeakable dullness.

Although he had already escaped from the dangerous area at this time and could basically ensure safety, almost no one spoke in the main battle formation of tens of thousands of people in the Manchus, and everyone was thinking about things in a dull manner.

Who can think, who dares to think, half an hour ago is still a great situation, and you will almost have to conquer the world and reach the peak of your life.

But, in this blink of an eye, everything changed...

After a while, Dorgon finally recovered, as if he had become ten years older in an instant, and he summoned Sony, Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and others to discuss the matter on the spot.

Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and others looked at each other and could see the horror in each other's eyes.

Already like this, what else is there to discuss?

Do they have any other choices besides withdrawing the army?

But even if the process is done, it still has to be done. The Qing Dynasty is still a country.

"It's time to come, do you have any good suggestions?"

Dorgon's voice was a little hoarse, and he slowly and heavily glanced at everyone.

“…”

It was the most reckless Ning Wan, who had always wanted to break the deadlock, became honest at this time, swallowing dryly, and not daring to say more.

After a moment, Sony spoke first: "Regent, according to the information in front, this wave of water should be from Ailing Lake. Looking at this way, Ailing Lake is afraid it has been ruined. It is already like this. Why not just clear all the water storage points! Even if Xu Changqing cannot be destroyed, at least he will suffer a lot! My main force of the Qing Dynasty breaks through the southwest by then, and it should not be difficult to find vitality..."

Dorgon nodded heavily.

Sony said that he could have thought of it, but now the situation is already chaotic, and many things can no longer be discussed based on common sense. The most basic thing is, in this state, how can we ensure that the news can be accurately transmitted to the water storage points in the north?

Moreover, he had already paid such a great price and so much sunk cost, and he was really unwilling to accept it!

How can you give up like this?!

If they retreat like this, let alone they cannot explain to the Qing Dynasty. How do other forces think of them in the Qing Dynasty? What face will the Qing Dynasty have in the future?

While thinking, Dorgon skipped Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, and his eyes gathered on Hong Chengchou, staring at him like a wolf.

“…”

Hong Chengchou wanted to greet Dorgon's ancestors in his heart for the eighteen generations.

Damn it, you don’t ask me when you have a good chance. Now, if something happens, I want me to take the blame and rub my butt?

But no matter how unhappy he felt, the Qing Dynasty was a thin camel bigger than a horse. Hong Chengchou had no way out. He could only think quickly and think of ways.

After thinking for a while, Hong Chengchou said, "Regent, at this time, opening the dike and releasing water may not be as powerful as planned, but I think the power will not be weak. It is important to know that Ailing Lake is like rice grains and sun and moon compared to Gaoyou Lake. As long as we can pass the news in the shortest time, as soon as the Gaoyou Lake water opens, most of the river will probably become Wangyang! At that time, my Qing Dynasty only needs to be patient and search carefully, and there may not be no chance..."

Although Hong Chengchou said this very implicitly, how could Dorgon not understand the core of it?

He gritted his teeth tightly, hesitated for a moment and made a decision, his face suddenly turned ferocious like a ghost: "Since this is already there, then follow what Hong Qing said! Withdraw, order the entire army to retreat immediately to the southwest!"

"twitter!"

The dull Qing army battle formation quickly became angry again. In the hazy rain and fog, a sound of horse hooves rolling and mud and water splashing, they quickly left the area.

...

"boom!"

"Boom..."

At the beginning of Hai, it was early at nine o'clock in the evening.

The main force of the hot air balloon that Xu Changqing personally finally arrived at Qinjiawa, just over twenty miles northwest of Ailing Lake, and successfully exploded the embankment of this small lake, which is about one-tenth the size of Ailing Lake.

The flood around, which was already a little sluggish, quickly began to tyrannize, and roared towards the south.

Xu Changqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, even though the intelligence system was completely blocked and could not tell who was who, Xu Changqing was very confident in his judgment.

In this situation, even if it does not kill the main force of the Qing army, they will be defeated.

The defeat is certain.

Half of the overall situation of the Qing army's flood offensive have been broken!

But it is still far from the time to celebrate.

Gaoyou Lake is like a sword of Damoris, always hanging high above Xu Changqing's head.

At this time, Gaoyou Huyuan was not the scale of later generations.

There is no way to count the specific area. There are dozens of adjacent lakes with names and surnames, and the surrounding rivers are crisscrossed, and Honghu is directly connected to the northwest.

If the Qing army really wanted to kill themselves and let the water go directly, no one could predict the consequences...

At this time, Xu Changqing could only do his best to be a living horse, and quickly rushed to the west side of the Qinjiawa water storage point and exploded another point.

The principle of doing this is not complicated.

The Qing army wanted to cause floods from north to south, and the biggest reliance was some of the rivers they repaired.

Although there are many floods and countless, the only things that can be used by them are those that flow through the river to the main rivers such as the Grand Canal. The others can only be considered as extravagant.

The transit stations such as Ailing Lake and Qinjiawa water storage points are somewhat similar to these rivers. They have strong guidance capabilities and can also be used to strengthen the rhythm.

At this time, even though Xu Changqing had completed half of the strategic goals set in this battle, it was still a little small for the overall situation.

What should I do?

The best choice is flood diversion!

Using transit stations such as Ailing Lake and Qinjiawa, some of the water potential will be diverted to the unmanned area east or southeast and southwest.

I'm afraid the God of Daluo could not say well at this time, but in fact it was a big bet!
