From the time when the sun was three o'clock in the sky until the sun was turning westward, Dorgon, who was extremely tired, just took a nap, and two hours passed.

At the end of the day, a large number of troops finally appeared on the post road near the site of the former Yongning Prison City, wearing red flags and armor, shouting and beating their horses and dragging artillery carts forward.

Kong Youde showed respect to the prince, riding on a tall horse, holding a whip in his hand, sweating, shouting and shouting, and at the same time whipping his subordinates on the road, urging them to climb over the hillside and continue moving forward.

The Tatars under Kong Youde, who were wearing red-flag uniforms but looked disheveled as if they had lost a battle, vented their grievances and anger on the horses that were dragging the artillery cart forward.

The shouts and curses of Kong Youde's soldiers, the crackling of whips, the neighing of shaft horses, and the creaking of heavy artillery carriages on the post road all made one noise.

Almost at the same time as Kong Youde's leading team rushed back to the Yongning Prison City site to see Dorgon, there were also Prince Zheng Jierhalang and his subordinate Baya La Niulu.

At three quarters of noon, there were still the same people in Dorgon's tent, the same people who were discussing the matter before. It was just that Prince Abatai of Raoyu, who was still leading his team to set up an ambush ten miles south of the old site of Yongning City, was missing, and there was one more official.

The Han army of the Blue Banner secured the mountain and was really Li Bayan.

"Your Majesty, my servants and others are fortunate to have fulfilled their orders and have successfully transported all the heavy artillery and other artillery carriages to this place."

When Kong Youde met Prince Rui Dorgon, he quickly knelt down and reported the results of his career to Dorgon. In any case, his goal had been achieved.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Prince Zheng Jierhalang, who came in shortly after and saw Dorgon at the same time, said to him angrily:

"You little slave, you are talking nonsense. Where are the pursuers in Jinhae Town that you mentioned earlier?! You mobilized a large labor force, but you didn't see a single pursuer as you mentioned. How is that possible?!"

Prince Zheng Jierhalang looked very miserable and disgraced. It was obvious that it was not an easy task for him to lead his troops to ambush in the barren mountains on both sides of the post road.

At this time, Prince Zheng Jierharang became more and more angry as he spoke. He held a riding crop in his hand, pointed at Kong Youde's nose, and scolded: "You tricked Prince Rui into letting me, a dignified Prince Heshuo, lead an army to cover you, a slave like you.

How brave are you?! I think you are such a slave, you are just acting out of selfish motives!"

Upon hearing this, Dorgon knew what was going on without even asking.

The pursuers who were expected to appear did not appear, which made him feel a little surprised.

But the decision to turn back and ambush was, after all, made by him. At this time, he saw that Jierhalang's scolding was getting worse and worse, so he frowned, waved his hand, and said to him:

"It seems that Yang Zhen's subordinates, unlike the generals of the Zu clan, have capable people. In this case, it is useless to say more. Prince Zheng, please withdraw your troops and horses from your own banner, and follow the previous arrangement to withdraw your troops and return north.

Bar!"

Jilhalang was originally full of anger, but his purpose was just to take the opportunity to propose a quick withdrawal of troops again. Before he mentioned it, Dorgon directly agreed.

This filled him with anger, and his anger immediately disappeared. He snorted coldly at the obedient King Kong Youde, turned around and left.

"Prince Zheng, Yang Zhen's command has not sent any pursuing troops, but it does not mean that there is no ambush ahead. You go north first, and you will be responsible for clearing out the ambush."

Just when Prince Zheng Jierhalang turned around and was about to leave, Dorgon stopped him and then warned him earnestly:

"Especially when you go to the Shipeng Mountain area south of Xiongyue City and near Wang'er Mountain northeast of Xiongyue City, you must be careful and watch out for ambushes. You can send more sentries first. It is better to go slower and ensure that you don't fall into an ambush!"

Jierhalang, who came in anger, heard this and knew that Dorgon had good intentions after all. He turned around and came back, looked at Dorgon and said:

"I would like to thank you, Prince Rui, for your reminder. However, I would also like to remind Prince Rui that you should be careful. Our army is retreating north this time, but we only bring two days of food. Therefore, if we want to retreat, we must retreat quickly.

Don’t be half-hearted and self-defeating!”

When Prince Zheng said this, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he then said to Dorgon:

"Oh, by the way, just before noon today, I and Prince Raoyu were waiting at the ambush site in the south. They didn't see any pursuers coming, so they sent sentries to take a detour south to investigate.

"One of the sentinels rushed to the east mountain ridge of Fuzhou City and found a large number of troops in the south of Fuzhou City. Under the banner of General Zhengdong of the Imperial Envoy Headquarters, they crossed the Fuzhou River and entered Fuzhou City one after another. The number of troops was nearly 10,000.

people!"

After saying these words, Prince Zheng Jierhalang looked at the shocked Dorgon and continued: "Prince Rui, when our army first came, the strategy of encirclement and reinforcements was not wrong. The reinforcements in Jinhai Town

, it’s finally here.

"But it is a pity that we misjudged the location of the main reinforcements heading north to Jinhai Town. Therefore, we made one wrong step and every wrong step. The matter of annihilating Jinhai Town can only be left to the long-term discussion in the future."

"Oh?! Prince Zheng, are you saying that Yang Zhen himself led the main force of Jinhai Town from the south to Fuzhou City just this afternoon?!"

Dorgon was completely stunned for a moment after hearing what Jierhalang said to him. He was stunned for a long time before he said this.

It's just that the words Dorgon spoke were not so much full of surprise as they were full of regret, and all he could do was scream and beat his chest.

However, Dorgon, as the ordered general and Prince Rui, naturally could not put all the joy, anger, sorrow and joy on his face like ordinary people.

Although the waves of remorse in his heart hit his reason one after another, he still maintained his reason in the end and just looked at Jirharang blankly, waiting for his further confirmation.

Prince Zheng Jierharang was not as sentimental and thoughtful as he was. He immediately said: "Yes, based on my judgment, this is the truth. However, our army has exhausted its food and fodder, and its future is worrying. We must encircle and annihilate Yang Zhen."

The opportunity for the main force of Jinhaizhen has been lost. At this time, Prince Rui should make up his mind to withdraw his troops and return north as soon as possible!"

When the topic of withdrawing troops and returning to the north came up again, Prince Zheng Jierhalang raised his head and said: "The main force of Yang Zhen appeared in the south of Fuzhou City, which just shows that the navy that went north to our rear was just a partial division along the way.

"Even if all the troops along the way are ashore, how many men and horses do they have? Even if they set up an ambush on the way my army retreats, the nearly 10,000 armored horsemen under my command, Xianglan Banner, are enough to crush them in one fell swoop.

What’s there to be afraid of?!”

After saying this, Jierhalang snorted coldly, turned around and left with his sleeves flung away.

Dorgon was stunned for a long time when he saw this, and finally shook his head, with a wry smile on his face. Then he looked around at the Bajala attendants in the tent, sighed and said:

"It is true that we cannot delay any longer. Go and pass on my king's order immediately. The troops stationed in the Yongning Supervisory City area will immediately break camp and return north!"

The news brought by Jierhalang and his performance in front of him made the unwilling Dorgon completely give up, knowing that he had lost the possibility of annihilating Jinhai Town in one fell swoop.

At that moment, he issued orders to Bagala, the accompanying soldier, and stood up to pack his bows, arrows, swords, helmets, hats and other items, and prepared to leave.

The attendants, the Bagaras, who were standing in the tent, left the tent one step ahead and went to convey Dorgon's military orders.

Dorgon packed up his weapons, put on his armor, walked past the obedient king Kong Youde and the Zhenglan Banner Han army Gushan'e Zhenbayan, came to the door of the tent, suddenly turned around and said to them:

"You two will lead the heavy artillery team and set off later. If you can keep up, try your best to keep up. If you can't keep up, follow the previous arrangements and ask King Raoyu Abatai to escort you all the way!

"By the way, you two will immediately send an order to Prince Raoyu, telling him to withdraw his troops immediately and take full responsibility for escorting your artillery team's baggage northward. You can tell him that if you can't camp in the ruins of Xiongyue City as scheduled tonight, you should also

Arrive at the old underground village of Xuguanbao on the north bank of Fudu River.

"Although the main force of Yang Zhenjinhai Town has just arrived in Fuzhou City, there is no need to worry about the pursuit of troops from behind for the time being, but your vehicles are heavy and difficult to move. It is still unknown whether there are ambushes on the retreat road ahead, so we cannot be careful to guard against them!"

"Slave obeys!"

Kong Youde and Bayan were already silent in the face of Prince Zheng Jierhalang's anger.

At this time, they heard that the main force of Jinhai Town led by Yang Zhen had arrived in Fuzhou City, and they felt even more panicked. Faced with Prince Rui Dorgon's order, they naturally did not dare to say a word "no".

After Dorgon issued the order, he said no more, waved his hand, and left the tent.

Upon seeing this, Kong Youde, the obedient king, and Zhenbayan, the Han army of the Zhenglan Banner in Gushan'e, also left the tent and hurried back to their own troops, urging the heavy artillery team that had just arrived at the old site of Yongning Prison City to continue on their way.

After this episode and a few wasted hours, it was discovered that the real main force of Jinhai Town was heading north. Dorgon's troops became more anxious to withdraw their troops and return north.

First, the men and horses of Jilhalang's Xianglan Banner, who had withdrawn from the ambush in the south, quickly bypassed the old site of Yongning Supervisory City and galloped all the way north.

Then the Zhengbai Banner army, which had rested for two hours and was strong and strong, surrounded by the banner of the ordered general Prince Rui Dorgon, poured out of the temporary camp at the old site of Yongning Prison City and turned northward.

Then came the long queues of heavy artillery and baggage vehicles on the post road, being dragged along by exhausted horses.

Of course, the one who had to walk at the back of the team was Abatai, the king of Raoyu County who had been holding back his anger but had nowhere to vent. The losses he led were very heavy and he was ostracized by Dorgon everywhere.
