Chapter 126 Tail-cutting Survival and Cannon Fodder

"withdraw!"

After saying this word, Qianlong couldn't help but close his eyes,

The siege of tens of thousands of troops resulted in more than 10,000 casualties.

But there was nothing he could do about the opponent's five thousand infantry.

Now Zhu Daohua came over with tens of thousands of troops.

If we don't withdraw, I'm afraid even he, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, will have to answer here.

but

Retreating the army is not that simple

One is bad.

Retreat will turn into a rout, and then into a rout.

"Le Bao led the green camp of Gansu and Shaanxi, and the Baoyi army relied on the mountains to defend and block the pursuit of the Ming Dynasty army."

Qianlong looked at Le Bao and ordered.

Lebao took a deep breath and shouted: "I accept my order!"

"Le Bao!" Qianlong held Le Bao, remained silent for a moment, and then lowered his voice and said, "The Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp and Bao Yi Army will be gone if they are gone. You can't get stuck here."

Lebao burst into tears of gratitude.

"Slave. You will definitely live up to your master!"

What a master-slave relationship.

Qianlong took a deep look at Le Bao.

"Walk!"

With that said, he got into a large carriage with the help of his servants.

Without the army to cut off the rear, Qianlong would not have been able to leave calmly.

and.

For Qianlong.

The Eight Banners Jianrui Battalion, Sauron Cavalry, and Mongolian Cavalry must be taken away.

This is his real strength.

Like the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp and the Baoyi Army.

These troops, which are mainly Han Chinese, can be summoned again as long as he returns to the capital!

Han people.

There are many.

And before that, he had sold all the local officials in Zhejiang, Hubei, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places to local tycoons.

Anyway, these places are in the mouth of the Ming army and will be thrown away at any time.

At this time, it was sold to these local tycoons.

It's just for them.

Whether he can get his money back or not is none of his business.

Whether he can keep it after he recovers his capital is none of his business.

Qianlong had already given up on the southern provinces.

It's the most cost-effective way to go back with a small sum of money.

"Your Majesty, where should we retreat? Back to Jiangning?"

Fukangan asked.

Qianlong thought for a while and said: "Jiangning only needs to divide its troops to defend it and slow down Ni Ming's advance. Let's go to Yangzhou!"

In fact, Qianlong was a little scared.

Jiangning is right on the edge of the Yangtze River. If the Ming army really breaks through the fort defenses at the Yangtze River estuary and the navy enters the Yangtze River, he will not be able to leave if he wants to.

On the contrary, Yangzhou is located in the north of the Yangtze River and is at a key node of the Grand Canal.

If you want to leave, you can take a canal boat at any time - it is impossible for the Ming army's warships to enter the canal channel.

and

Qianlong now felt that Yangzhou, Huai'an and other places in the north of the Yangtze River were not considered safe.

After all, these places are right next to Zhu Daohua's mouth.

You can eat it anytime you want.

therefore.

There is one more thing he needs to do when he goes to Yangzhou

Make money!

Yangzhou salt merchant’s money!

That was a wealthy man from Jiangnan who was richer than the merchants of the Thirteenth Industry.

It was the fattest money bag in the Qing Dynasty.

But now this money bag is also at risk of being snatched away by Zhu Daohua.

In this case, Qianlong might as well kill this fat pig himself.

Go to Yangzhou.

Fukang'an looked at Qianlong.

Now I don't even dare to go to Jiangning Mansion.

It seems that the emperor was also frightened by Ni Ming's fighting power.

"Your Majesty, the Yangtze River waterway is still in our hands. Now we only need to retreat to the ferry at Qiaoshe Town to get on the boat. Then Yang Fan will go north. Shengmi Ferry is more than a hundred miles away from Qiaoshe."

More than a hundred miles.

This was for the Qing army that retreated with Qianlong.

It was truly a road of blood and tears.

"Qianlong is leaving!"

The hot air balloon above Zhu Daohua's head is the "battlefield monitor" of this era.

Since the Qing army has no ability to attack hot air balloons - not only the Qing army, but even the British army can't do anything about it.

Two eyes above the head watch the battlefield.

Zhu Daohua soon learned about the Qing army's actions.

"Luoding Mountain, take your people to bite up and bite Qianlong! Qianlong's Huanglong Dagua is now on a high slope away from here, and he wants to take his Eight Banners Jianrui Battalion and Mongolian cavalry, so he can

The Lun cavalry fled, and the other brigades immediately launched an attack formation, with the goal of annihilating the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion and the Baoyi Army!"

Zhu Daohua immediately gave the order to pursue.

The first to take action.

It is the mounted infantry brigade of Luoding Mountain.

There is battlefield information brought by hot air balloons.

He only had more than 2,000 mounted infantrymen under his command, and their effectiveness was no less than that of 10,000 cavalry.

The importance of battlefield information rights is fully demonstrated at this time.

They can always appear at the weak points of the Qing cavalry.

They used rifled guns to shoot and harass. If the Qing cavalry dared to pursue them, they would soon fall into the Ming army's trap.

In the original battlefield rules.

Both sides are actually blind.

It is difficult to know exactly where the opponent's troops are deployed.

And now.

One party is no longer blind.

That's for the blind.

He was almost completely in a passive position of being beaten.

At the end.
