Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou frowned slightly.
It's a bit tricky right now!
However, the Qing army is not without reinforcements. Now we have to see which one of our own reinforcements or those of the intruders arrives first!
Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou's face became slightly solemn.
The fight between the two sides lasted for several hours. After each side lost thousands of men and horses, they separated. Everyone knows that after all, soldiers are also human beings and they all have physical limits.
It was late at night, and soon everyone returned to the camp to rest.
An attack on the camp ultimately failed.
Liu Zongmin took the intruders and set up camp again to sleep, but still left some people to guard them.
The next day, Liu Zongmin woke up.
"Is there any news about Liu Fangliang's army??"
Liu Zongmin, who had just woken up, asked directly to the left and right.
"General, there is no news about General Liu Fangliang..."
The attendant looked hesitantly on his face and said to Liu Zongmin in front of him.
Liu Zongmin frowned tightly. Without Liu Fangliang, this battle would be really difficult to fight!
Although we have more people, it is obvious that the Qing army on the opposite side is stronger!
Moreover, if I have reinforcements, don’t the Qing troops in front of me not have reinforcements?
If Liu Fangliang's army arrived together with the reinforcements from the Qing army in front of them...
This is still a good situation.
If the Qing army's aid arrives before Liu Fangliang's army, things will be in trouble!
Thinking of this, Liu Zongmin's eyes revealed a sense of crisis.
If his 60,000-strong army is destroyed, then Liu Fangliang's army will also be in trouble!
When he and others are wiped out, then the Chuang army...
Thinking of this, Liu Zongmin's eyes flashed with an ugly look. Now, he was in some trouble!
Just when Liu Zongmin was thinking about this.
"General! General! Good news! Good news! General Liu Fangliang arrived first! Now he is outflanking the Qing army's retreat!"
A Tan Ma next to him had an excited look on his face, rushed into the tent, and said to Liu Zongmin.
"really???"
Liu Zongmin stood up from the bed with excitement, and spoke to Tan Ma who was looking at him with excitement on his face.
"This is a letter from General Liu Fangliang to you!"
Liu Zongmin quickly glanced at the letter.
"Assemble the whole army!"
At this time, Liu Zongmin shouted loudly to the people around him with excitement on his face.
Soon, the surrounding soldiers, led by the officers, quickly began to gather.
"Our reinforcements! Arrived! Kill Mangou!!!"
"Kill Man Dog!!!"
Following Liu Zongmin's loud shouts, the surrounding soldiers quickly began to assemble, then mounted their horses when it was time to mount their horses, and quickly charged towards Hong Chengchou's camp on the side.
At the same time, Liu Fangliang launched an attack on the Manchu camp!
"what happened??"
Hong Chengchou woke up in a hurry and heard shouts of death from all directions, with an ugly look on his face.
"General, it seems that reinforcements from the intruders have arrived! Our retreat is now blocked! We are surrounded!"
A deputy general said to Hong Chengchou in front of him with a hesitant look on his face.
Hong Chengchou's expression suddenly became serious.
He quickly glanced at the terrain map around him.
"Start breaking out in the direction of Liu Zongmin! Let us know!"
"Yes! General!"
The surrounding messengers quickly dispersed, and at this time Hauge also walked into the camp.
"what happened??"
Hauge said to Hong Chengchou with a serious face.
At this time, Hong Chengchou looked at Hauge with a wry smile on his face and said: "Your Majesty, our plan was wrong. I don't know why, but Liu Fangliang arrived before our reinforcements and had already copied ours."
Way back! We have to break out now! Otherwise, we will be surrounded and eaten directly!"
"Okay! Breakout!"
Hauge also understood the priority of the matter and spoke directly to Hong Chengchou in front of him.
All the surrounding Qing troops quickly began to get on their horses. Under the command, all the troops quickly began to rush towards the direction of Liu Zongmin's army.
The two armies quickly collided and became entangled!
But soon, Liu Fangliang's army behind him also rushed over.
Under the attack from the front and back, the Manchu and Qing army suffered losses very quickly!
Hong Chengchou's face turned ugly.
At this moment, the sound of cannons came from behind Liu Fangliang's army, which made Hong Chengchou's face turn from gloomy to clear.
"Your Majesty! Our reinforcements have arrived too!"
All four armies were entangled.
The battle lasted from morning to evening, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. After they dispersed, they quickly began to retreat to the city behind them in a tacit understanding.
In a big battle, both sides lost tens of thousands of troops, and other military supplies were useless!
It can be said that this was an extremely fierce battle.
The Manchu and Qing troops withdrew to Wanxian County, while the bandit army withdrew to Tangxian County, and separated themselves from each other!
At this time, Liu Zongmin, who came to the county seat, finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Liu Fangliang on the side: "Fortunately, you came first. If the Manchu army had arrived first, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to see each other now.
!”
Liu Zongmin had a wry smile in his eyes.
"I'm still a little late! If I had come earlier! Maybe we can kill the traitor Hong Chengchou before the Manchu reinforcements arrive!"
Liu Fangliang sighed slightly and said to Liu Zongmin in front of him.
"How many people did you lose?"
The two were silent for a while, and then Liu Fangliang asked Liu Zongmin in front of him.
"Before, there were more than 67,000 people. Now, I just got the statistics from my men, and there are only 30,000 people left! What about you?"
"I originally had 80,000 people under my command, but now I only have 50,000 left!"
"The total losses were close to 70,000 elites! More than half were killed or injured!"
Thinking of this, Liu Zongmin and Liu Fangliang looked at each other, with wry smiles on their faces. You know, these people are the elites in the camp!
A direct loss of 70,000 elites!
This is something that no army can tolerate!
"Let's rest first!"
Liu Zongmin sighed slightly and said to Liu Fangliang who was standing aside.
At this time, Wan County.
Hong Chengchou and Hauge also looked a little unhappy.
The more than 30,000 elite Green Battalion troops they brought with them suffered 20,000 casualties, leaving only more than 10,000 people left!
Fortunately, the reinforcements only suffered casualties of more than 10,000 people.
Total casualties were just over 40,000.
No matter how you put it, it’s a big loss!
The most important thing is that Manqi also lost nearly two thousand people!
This is something Hauge can't stand!
"Want revenge!"
Hauge shouted angrily at Hong Chengchou who was standing aside.
