After the gun, a team of Yulin Guards took turns to the tomb and bowed three times in front of the tomb. The army was divided into two teams, one team followed the emperor northward, straight under the city of Jinan, and the other team was still in the camp. In addition to protecting the wounded, they also had to supervise the prisoners to restrain the bodies of the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces.

The entire Manchu and Mongolian coalition had 8,000 corpses, and it would take at least several days to bury all of them. After supervising the prisoners to collect the bodies, these Yulin Guards were also responsible for taking the prisoners back and maintaining ammunition and food supply. Emperor An left behind three thousand-household teams, plus the wounded, with more than 5,000 people. The Yulin Guards arrived at the city of Jinan.*

Although more than 6,000 people were reduced, with the combat power of the Yulin Guard, if the Qing army did not have this great defeat, it might be insufficient to capture Jinan. After this great defeat, the Yulin Guard's troops would not be insufficient, and Wang Fu did not intend to rely on the central army to attack Jinan.

In less than two hours, the army advanced to the city of Jinan. With the emperor's will, the army calmly set up a camp several miles away from the south gate of Jinan Prefecture. If the city of Jinan was to be completely besieged, the Yulin Guard's troops were indeed a bit insufficient now, so Wang Fu simply ordered the army to be stationed in only one gate. Anyway, the Qing army's retreat was cut off, and Wang Fu was not afraid of the Qing army abandoning the city and fleeing.

The city was filled with Qing army, and he watched the Ming army camping below silently. No one proposed to go out of the city to attack the Ming army. The day before yesterday, the arrogance of the Ming army at the city had already been deeply reflected in everyone's mind. Although the Qing army was angry, it was more of a vague fear. I wonder if he could survive the attack of the Ming army in a few days?

Bo stood at the top of the city, looking at the bottom with a gloomy face. When he was in Yanzhou, he was facing a cavalry unit with cold weapons in the Ming army. Although he admitted that the Ming army was very high compared with the past, with the same force, Boluo believed that he could lead the army to win. If he attacked, it would be possible to have one and two or three. But he didn't expect that the army led by Mandahai would be defeated so miserably, with more than 14,000 people, and only more than 2,000 people fled back.

The Ming army's firearms troops are really so powerful? If he had 20,000 Eight Banners in his hands, he might have gone out of the city to try it. However, he could now mobilize dozens of Goshha and a Green Camp soldiers around him, and he could no longer mobilize any army. The four thousand Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers who were originally in his hands had been taken back by Mandahai, and he was even more suspicious by Mandahai.*

Boluo felt helpless about this situation. Although it was his suggestion that the army would be defeated so badly in the battle with the Ming army, he had never thought that the battle with the Ming army would be defeated so badly, not to mention that his comrade-comrade Yue Le didn't know the life and death of his brother Yue Le, and did not expect that Mandahai would suspect that he had ulterior motives.

A sound of footsteps sounded behind him. Without turning his head, Boro heard someone shouting, "Master Beller, you are here."

Boluo knew that he had escaped back the day before yesterday. Only one of the two brothers who went to the expedition this time had escaped. Shi Guozhu didn't know life or death for the time being. Although Shi Tingzhu escaped, he relied on a good horse. His subordinates had only escaped dozens of people. Now he was sick with Boluo.

"General Shi. Is the Minggou Earth Firearms Army really invincible?" Boluo turned his head and stared at Shi Tingzhu's face, as if he wanted to get the answer directly from Shi Tingzhu's face.

Even in the scorching sun, Shi Tingzhu still shivered. Boluo's questioning made Shi Tingzhu immediately remembered the fierce battle with the Ming army the night before yesterday. The sound of musket shooting, cannons and grenade explosions seemed to echo in his ears again. Although his subordinates did not participate in the attack for a long time, the most elite white-armored soldiers in the Qing Dynasty repeatedly rushed towards the Ming army's positions. In exchange for only one corpse. Even if they barely rushed in, the Ming army quickly rushed out in the same way. The Ming army was not only powerful earth firearms, but also had the will to fight like steel. Shi Tingzhu believed that even the Ming army had no firearms. He used the same earth weapons to fight against the most elite white-armored soldiers in the Qing Dynasty. I'm afraid the white-armored soldiers would not have the upper hand.

It was shocking that it was still during the day when the Ming army was chasing. Tens of thousands of people moved forward in an orderly manner. It was this action that made all the Qing officers and soldiers lose the courage to fight. Faced with tens of thousands of people lined up in a local line and pressed in an orderly manner. Even the bravest people would feel that they were insignificant. This kind of power was simply irresistible.

"Belle, I don't know how to describe the Ming army's local firearms. In short, there is no three times the power of the elite troops. Never fight the Ming army in the field." Before I knew it, Shi Tingzhu was not called Mingdog. Decades ago, Guarja still relied on the Ming Dynasty. In order to express his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, he changed his surname to Shi. However, after Nurhaci's uprising, the Shi family saw that the Ming Dynasty was weak. Without hesitation, he betrayed the Ming Dynasty and defected to Nurhaci. The Shi family was once glorious in Liaodong.

Mingdi is powerful. Zu Yu made Shi Tingzhu feel the kind of respect for the Ming Dynasty again.

"Three times. Are you serious?" Boluo said in a daze. The entire Qing Dynasty was as follows: the Manchu Eight Banners. At the peak of the people, there were only more than 70,000 people. In addition, the Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners were only more than 100,000. Now it is even more loss. In this way, as long as the Ming army has 40,000 or 50,000 earth-fire weapons troops, they can sweep the entire Qing Dynasty. How can Boluo believe this?

Shi Tingzhu stumbled for a moment and said, "The last general has never exaggerated the combat power of the Ming army. Perhaps even three times the strength of the troops cannot win steadily."

Bo shook his head, still unable to believe Shi Tingzhu's words, or he was unwilling to believe it at all. He just thought Shi Tingzhu was talking nonsense after being scared, Shi Tingzhu sighed, and did not force Boluo to believe it. The Ming army was under the city, and Boluo would change his opinion in no time.

A Goshha hurried over and shouted: "Report, Mr. Beile, the commander-in-chief summoned him."

"I know, I'll go right away." Boluo replied, looking at the city again: "General Shi, it seems that Minggou will not attack the city today. The general must be participating in the military discussion. I'm afraid General Shi will also participate in it, so why not go to the general's mansion together."

"Yes, please Mr. Beile."

Bo stopped talking. He came down from the city. Goshha had already prepared horses under the city. The two of them turned over and ran towards the commander's mansion in the city. There were hundreds of thousands of people in Jinan Mansion, which had always been prosperous, but at this moment the street seemed a little depressed. There were only pedestrians in groups of three or three. When they heard the sound of horse hooves, they hurriedly hid aside.

When the war is about to go, most people hide at home, and they don’t come out unless they are necessary. The market is in a bad mood. However, the business of grain and rice shops is very high, and rice prices rise several times a day. No one knows how long this war will take. It is always a little more peace of mind to have more grain and rice at home. Unless it is a family with no money, they can only pray that the war will end soon, otherwise they may be hungry.

Halfway through the way, Shi Tingzhu indeed received an order from Haidahai to ask him to go to the General's Mansion to discuss matters. The two rode fast horses and arrived at the General's Mansion in Mandahai without delaying it. The General's Mansion in Mandahai was rebuilt on the basis of the original Damingde Palace. In the 12th year of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered Shandong. Dorgon only took one day to capture this important city in Shandong, captured more than 460,000 Han people, and obtained more than 200 Bai and returned with a full load. Liande

Wang Zhu Youshu was also captured alive by the Qing army. Before leaving, the Qing army burned all the De Prince's Mansion with fire. Since the De Prince's family was killed, the Ming officials did not rebuild the De Prince's Mansion. However, after Mandahai arrived in Shandong, he ordered people to build a courtyard on the original site as their commander's mansion. The De Prince's Mansion was set off by the Qing army, and then the Qing army rebuilt the house on the original site. I am afraid that the Qing army would never have dreamed of this situation when the fire was set.

After the two entered the mansion, they were led to the main hall from Goshha. At this time, Bahana, Yangjia and other generals had arrived first. Shandong Governor Fang Dayou was also sitting aside restlessly. Except for these people, one of them made Boluo and Shi Tingzhu a bit unexpected. It turned out to be Gushan Ezhen Paiyintu, which had a yellow flag.

When he saw Baiyintu, Boluo was slightly surprised. Baiyintu led hundreds of scouts to move on the western front of Jinan in order to disrupt the Ming army's sight. In fact, Baiyintu's mission was completed very few hundred people, but he had to deal with tens of thousands of Ming army troops for more than half a month without eating it. It was almost a miracle. Of course, this also has something to do with the Ming army's failure to pay attention to this scout team at all.

Mandahai sat in the main seat and saw Boluo and Shi Tingzhu coming in. He nodded slightly. Mandahai was very different at this time than a few days ago. His face was yellow and his eyes were covered with blood. The braid behind him could be seen vaguely white, as if he had suddenly become ten years older.

"Beloved by the owner of the Yintu Banner. Since everyone is here, please tell everyone about the situation."

"Yes, the Grand Marshal." Bai Yintu replied: "Everyone, as we all know, the Minggou West Army has occupied Changji and Qihe counties, while the East Army has occupied Jiyang, Zhangqiu and other counties. After leaving half of the troops to defend, they are rushing towards Jinan. The West Road is only two days away from Jinan, and the East Road is about three days away. Now our army is in Jinan, and there is no more soldiers to reinforce. How to act, please make a charter."

"It's over, it's over." Fang Dayou was slumped in his position when he heard this. He had just found out now, and even if he wanted to escape, he had no way to escape.

There were no reinforcements outside, and the rear was cut off. Except for Fang Dayou's normal reaction, the other generals had no expression on their faces, as if the words said by the worship of the Yintu just now had nothing to do with him.
