With Li Yuanyin's support, less than a thousand remaining soldiers from Donghai Town came to the vicinity of Taizhou City.

The Zhejiang army gathered in Taizhou and had many military camps. The troops stationed here were from Zhao Ming's old acquaintance Li Chengdong.

After Li Yuanyin received Zhao Ming, he sent a fast horse back to the camp. As soon as the defeated soldiers from Donghai Town entered the camp, the soldiers of Li's army in the camp had already prepared broth and thick porridge for them.

As soon as the soldiers of Donghai Town who had been hungry for a few days entered the camp, they immediately rushed over. Regardless of the hot soup, they drank soup and ate porridge wildly. Many people were choked because they were too anxious and almost slapped.

Li Benshen, Tang Tong and other generals of Donghai Town also lost their image. They sat in the cart, holding the big sea bowl and drinking the soup wildly. Zhao Ming also held the bowl with one hand and a piece of meat with the other, rolling his eyes a little choked.

The dignified General Zhao from Donghai Town has been scattered all over the world for many years. Today, he is so majestic and extremely embarrassed.

At this time, the soldiers were sitting or squatting to eat and drink. A powerful general wearing fish scale armor, phoenix winged helmet, and a beast headband at his waist. He walked over quickly surrounded by a team of generals and schools.

"Master-in-chief! Duke Zhao is right in front!" Li Yuanyin led Li Chengdong over and sighed as he walked: "This time Donghai Town is so miserable!"

When Zhao Ming put a knife on Li Chengdong's neck and forced him to do so, Li Chengdong hated Zhao Ming at first, but later cooperated with Zhao Ming many times. In addition, he did a good job in the Ming Dynasty and was regarded as his right-hand man by Zhu Yihai, so his hatred for Zhao Ming gradually faded, and he gradually admired Zhao Ming, and he had the idea of ​​comparing with Zhao Ming.

Now that he heard Li Yuanyin's narrative, he couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time he became more careful.

Zhao Ming was praised by the Ming Dynasty before, and his resistance to the Qing Dynasty was more active than the court. He did not have much attention to it, so he would have today's defeat.

At this time, Li Chengdong had already seen Zhao Ming, who was sitting in a cart in a distant state, and was only concerned about food and drink, and suddenly showed a look of shock on his face. It was not what he saw with his own eyes. Li Chengdong never expected that the majestic General Zhao of Donghai, who was not long ago, was so embarrassed that he looked like this.

Zhao Ming lost most of his armor, only a few armor skirts were hung on his body. His clothes were covered with blood and his hair was scattered, covering half of his face. He lowered his head and gnawed on his flesh and bones. Li Chengdong and others walked up to him without even notice.

Li Chengdong stood in front of Zhao Ming and saw Zhao Ming in such a embarrassing manner. He sighed in his heart. After a while of silence, he bowed his hand and whispered, "Boan!"

Zhao Ming raised his head and saw that it was Li Chengdong. The two had not had a deep relationship before, but at this time, Zhao Ming seemed to have seen his relatives, with tears in his eyes.

Zhao Ming put down the bone in his hand, wiped the oily hand on his body, then stood up, and suddenly clasped his fists on one knee, "Old Li, I've recorded this love!"

Li Chengdong lifted Zhao Ming up and said hurriedly: "All of them are brothers from Zhejiang, why should Bo'an do this?"

Zhao Ming looked at Li Chengdong and said, "Old Li, if you can come to save me, you will be my benefactor! If you hadn't fought to the death this time, I would have lost my protection this time."

Li Chengdong looked at Zhao Ming and the defeated soldiers around him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Li army, who was responding to Donghai Town, surrounded the defeated soldiers who were eating voraciously, and they were also sighing.

Li Chengdong and Zhao Ming talked for a while, and they each asked about some of the situation. Seeing that Zhao Ming and others were hungry, Li Chengdong stopped talking, but just asked his subordinates to kill a few more pigs and sheep for the brothers in Donghai Town to eat.

Zhao Ming and his party ate for a while, there was a sudden commotion outside. They saw Wang Yi, Wang Chaoxian, Ruan Mei and other generals of Donghai Town stalked into the camp. While everyone was walking, they shouted: "Master!Master!"

Several people rushed to Zhao Ming and saw the miserable appearance of Zhao Ming and the remaining soldiers in Donghai Town. They couldn't help but feel sad. Zhao Ming and the others hugged each other and sighed.

Everyone gathered together, and after a while, they found that Li Zhongming, Wang Deshun and other old brothers had broken out, and only 1,000 elite troops emerged. Zhao Ming learned that Ma Shiao was killed and immediately hugged each other and cried.

After a while, Zhao Ming cheered up and said to the generals: "Okay, fortunately, I am suddenly out of here. I must avenge this revenge and cannot let my brothers die in vain!"

Wang Chaoxian, Ruan Mei and others said in tears: "Yes, fortunately, the general has stood out. At worst, we can start over again!"

Zhao Ming rested for a day in Li Chengdong's camp and ordered his brothers to continue to search north to see if there were any other brothers who were prominent.

When did Wang Dana and the army really find this search? He led more than a dozen gangs and actually walked out of the swamp.

Of course, there was only one miracle. Although the Ming army continued to search for it in the next two days, they never saw any defeated soldiers coming out of the swamp again.

Three days later, Zhao Ming and a group of defeated soldiers had recovered their strength. After taking over a vassal, Zhao Ming ordered less than 20,000 subordinates in Taizhou City to give up the city to Li Chengdong, and he wanted to lead his army back to Jiangdong.

Outside Taizhou City, Li Chengdong said to Zhao Ming: "Bo'an, now the imperial army gathers in Jiangbei and is about to recover Yangzhou and Huai'an. Your Highness heard that you broke through the siege and were coming from Nanjing. Are you really going to return to Jiangdong?"

Zhao Ming clasped his fists to Li Chengdong and said in a deep voice: "In this battle, my Donghai Town suffered heavy losses and was powerless to fight again. I have decided to return to Jiangdong and will not ask about the anti-Qing incident from now on!"

Li Chengdong knew that Zhao Ming was angry and said something angry, "If the court is in trouble, Bo'an can still stand by and watch!"

Zhao Ming was silent for a moment, "If Lao Li needs Zhao, I will definitely rush to help!"

Li Chengdong sighed helplessly and suddenly clasped his fists solemnly: "So, please be careful!"

Zhao Ming returned the gift, "Take care!"

After saying that, Zhao Ming pulled out the reins of the horse and led less than 20,000 people and headed south in a quiet manner.

Li Chengdong, Li Yuanyin and other generals couldn't help but feel a little emotional when they saw Donghai Town winding forward and retreating south.

On the Nanjing River in Taixing, soldiers from Donghai Town crossed the river with them, landed in Jiangyin, and then returned to Suzhou.

At this time, boats shuttled across the river, picking up soldiers across the river. Not far from the crossing of the river, a group of people climbed up the hill. The leader was wearing a dragon robe and a winged crown on his head, staring at the river.

"Your Highness, Duke Zhao is this~" Fang Guoan said with a gloomy face.

Zhu Yihai waved his hand and sighed, "Boan is resentful to Gu!"

"Your Highness, the main responsibility for Duke Zhao's defeat this time is that the court did not implement the plan of encirclement by left and right as agreed, but came to grab Nanjing with us. Your Highness summoned Duke Zhao to come and explained clearly. I think Duke Zhao will definitely understand your highness!" Zhang Huang said.
