At this time, the north bank of Linghe River was very strong.

Zhao Rujiao, Man Gui, Amin and Jierhalang were indistinguishable from the fight.

Neither of them retreated, and the soldiers and generals in their hands were all old soldiers, so they did not lose the least when fighting with Jianlu.

Tens of thousands of troops spread out from time to time. Before they overlap, they fought each other, and they didn’t know the time, and how many people died.

On the other side, Wu Xiang faced Ajige's fierce attack and was a little unsupported, but he was still holding on and insisting on not retreating.

Seeing that there was danger of defeat, a deputy general came to Wu Xiang and said, "Sir, retreat, if you don't retreat, we will have to explain here."

Wu Xiang looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice: "You can't retreat! If we retreat here, General Man and General Zhao will no longer have their flanks!"

The deputy general was a little anxious and said, "Sir, if we don't retreat, we will all die here!"

Wu Xiang was also anxious, but he had unspeakable difficulties, which made him grit his teeth and persevere.

Zu Dashou was his in-laws, and he actually colluded with Jianlu to surrender. Now he has been taken down by Zhou Zheng, and Sun Chengzong clearly told him that as long as he persists in this battle, he will try his best to protect the Wu family from being implicated. But if Wu Xiang fights timidly or surrenders to the enemy at the last minute, the Wu family will be killed!

Whether it is a righteous person or a small family, Wu Xiang cannot take a step back!

"Kill me, and those who take half a step back will be killed!" Wu Xiang shouted loudly, and led the way to boost morale.

The deputy general listened and had to grit his teeth and follow.

Amin, Ajige, and Jirgalang have all discovered that the Ming army opposite is extremely tenacious, very different from the Ming army before them.

In the past, the Ming army either collapsed at once, and they followed them to chase and kill; or a small number of them were tenacious and their army was besieged and resolved; but the 80,000 Ming army now showed no sign of escaping, and even if they were obviously not supporting, they still did not retreat, as if they were exchanging their lives for their lives and consuming them!

Although the Jianlu army had the upper hand, this advantage was obtained by them constantly paying the price.

Jianlu people don't want to see this price.

They were already short of people. If the Ming army exchanged their lives for their lives and caused them to lose 20,000 to 30,000 people, the blow to them would be unimaginable!

But at this time, they could not retreat and could only grit their teeth and continue fighting with the Ming army.

On the top of Jinzhou city.

Ouyang Sheng looked up at the sky and said uneasyly: "Teacher, why don't I go out of the city to support me?"

"no!"

Sun Chengzong refused decisively, his white hair fluttered in the wind, and he said firmly: "You can only wait now!"

Ouyang Sheng could understand that even if Zhao Lujiao and others were defeated, Jinzhou would not be able to lose. But he still couldn't stop his worries. Zhao Lujiao, Man Gui and others took away most of the elite troops in Liaodong. If these were gone, Liaodong would be extremely weak. If they wanted to recover, they didn't know how much effort or how long it would take.

Sun Chengzong didn't say much, and looked at the north with a deep face.

What he was thinking about was Zhou Zheng’s letters and the current situation.

Ouyang Sheng wanted to talk about the recent trend of impeaching Sun Chengzong in the capital, but he knew it was not the time, so he refused to mention it.

In front of Huangtai Ji’s big tent.

The melee continued. Even with Song Wei's reinforcements, Zhou Zheng's army's combat power continued to fade, while Song Wei's army did not have much powerful combat power.

The number of troops on both sides is similar. Without the tactical cooperation of cavalry, the two sides are fighting on the ground, stalemate and difficult to distinguish each other.

Seeing that the Ming army could not come, Fan Wenchen in front of the tent gradually calmed down. His expression suddenly changed drastically. He looked at Huang Taiji and said, "Shank you, it's not good! We've fallen into the trap!"

Huang Taiji's face turned pale, his eyes were full of anger, but his tone was very cold: "Ben Khan already knows."

Huang Taiji and Fan Wenchen were not ordinary people. By this time the fierce battles, the strategies of both sides were clearly visible, especially the Ming army.

Sun Chengzong actually had no conspiracy, it was just a conspiracy, and the purpose was not to defend Youtun or capture and kill Huang Taiji. Sun Chengzong's purpose was very simple: to exchange life for life and consume Jianlu's vitality!

Population is his biggest flaw in the Great Jin Kingdom. If Sun Chengzong exchanged his 80,000 army for his 60,000, or even 40,000, it would be a great victory in strategy!

The Ming army had people and could be replenished anytime and anywhere. However, the Jin Dynasty was different. Their total population was only more than 100,000, and there were not many recruits. The war was damaged every year, and the replenishment was extremely slow. In addition, the disaster situation, the Jin Dynasty wanted to recover from the end of this war, as long as five years and as many as ten years!

After such a long time, what else do they have to fight with the Ming Dynasty!

Another thing is: their food and grass were burned a lot, and if they continue to fight like this, they may be in danger of being defeated!

It can be said that the balance is entirely on the Ming army. As long as the Ming army persists, the Jin Kingdom will not only be defeated, but also seriously damage its foundation!

Fan Wenchen looked solemn and said, "Khan, withdraw your troops! Stop your tail and survive, and fight again tomorrow!"

Huang Taiji had no expression on his face. If he withdraws troops now, he might be able to protect the most, but the Ming Dynasty would have to gain a foothold in Youtun, and then the Ming Dynasty would gradually advance in Liaodong, threatening Shenyang and the Jin Dynasty!

Huang Taiji stared at the Ming army fighting outside, as if he could see Zhou Zheng. His eyes twitched for a moment, and his face was twisted in pain, and he said with anger: "I Khan still underestimated Zhou Zhengyun. If he could capture him in the future, he would definitely tear him to pieces!"

Fan Wenchen ignored this and looked at Huang Taiji with his eyes straight, waiting for his decision.

Huang Taiji looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice: "I will entrust the rear and withdraw the troops."

Fan Wenchen immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Huang Taiji was quite calm, knew the pros and cons, and made the most advantageous decision.

With Huang Taiji's order, Jianlu camp began to retreat, and at the same time, he ordered Jirgalang and others to prepare to withdraw their troops.

Zhou Zheng and others soon noticed Jianlu's actions.

Zhou Zheng looked at Huangtaiji Camp, which seemed to be close but was far away in the sky. He sighed lightly in his heart, but looked ruthless and said, "Jianlu retreat, kill!"

Jianlu was about to withdraw, but the decadent momentum of the Ming army suddenly expanded, and they rushed towards the Jianlu army that was broken.

On the north bank of the Daling River, Jirgalang and others learned about Huang Taiji's orders and began to gather the formation and retreat.

"Kill, don't let anyone go!" Man Gui saw that Jianlu was about to withdraw his troops, pulled a beard and roared angrily.

Zhao Rujiao on the other side shouted: "Bite them tightly, don't let Jianlu run away!"

Wu Xiang was about to lose, and the pressure was as high as a mountain. Seeing that Jianlu had withdrawn his troops and the pressure was greatly relaxed, he was also excited and said angrily: "Chase!"

On the battlefield in Liaodong, a scene that had never appeared before appeared: the Ming army chased Jianlu!

The Ming army shouted and killed as they soared into the sky. I don’t know how far it was, like a fan, chasing Xiang Jianlu.

Ajige, Jirgalang and others knew that they could not waste their time, so they fought and retreated, constantly distanced themselves, and wanted to meet with Huang Taiji as soon as possible.

The chase was not withdrawn until dark, and he was worried that Jianlu would be ambushed.

Zhou Zheng, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, Wu Xiang and other remaining 60,000 to 70,000 people gathered in Youtun.

Man Gui was covered in blood. Seeing Zhou Zheng was just a bear hug, he laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, I really did not read you wrong, I did a pretty job!"

Zhou Zheng was covered in wounds, especially his arms, and he sucked in pain. But before he could speak, Shangguan Qing pulled Mangui over and said coldly: "Let go!"
