"As it should be!"

"Your Highness, you have already gone this far, and you have been so generous, providing grain and soldiers as needed. If we still cannot defeat the enemy, then I will truly have no face to return to see you!"

"Rest assured, we will not return until we win!"

Dorgon just watched quietly as he went off to reorganize the army, holding such a belief and uttering such high-sounding words.

After all the generals who had come to his aid returned to their own camps, he immediately summoned his trusted men.

To receive these elite cavalry reinforcements, the fighting on the main battlefield temporarily ceased.

After confirming that everyone had arrived, he counted them and found that there were still over four hundred people left.

There are relatively few, but if they want to survive, the number of people really can't be too large.

"Your Highness, have reinforcements arrived?"

"Hurry up, the brothers are exhausted. It's time to let those guys take over and give the brothers a rest."

"They came so slowly, but at least they're here. Once this battle is over and we capture the capital to reward our merits, I'll definitely use my military achievements to get a princess to play with."

"We really need to treat ourselves well. More than 100,000 brothers entered the pass, and now only a handful of us are left. It's truly not easy."

As he listened to these people's words, Dorgon's expression grew increasingly gloomy.

That was what he originally thought too.

Once the reinforcements arrive, let them rest well, and I can finally relax.

But now, not only can we not relax in the slightest, the situation is even more serious.

"Have you said enough?"

"Enough talk. Now be quiet and listen to what I have to say."

"Indeed, reinforcements have arrived. Those who want to die can now go and rest. I will not save those who deserve to die."

"But those who don't want to die should immediately roll over and look at the sand table."

"Look, where can we run to now?"

escape?

Even with reinforcements arriving, why are you still trying to escape?

"Could it be..."

"Did that monster come chasing after the reinforcements?"

This was the only possibility they could think of.

"That's right, and that monster also brought more than 30,000 soldiers with it."

"Based on the timeline, he should be able to reach the battlefield in about three days. In addition, his troops will need time to rest, and our reinforcements will be able to hold out for as long as possible."

"We have at most ten days to escape. Tell me, where is the best and safest place for me to lead you in these ten days?"

Dorgon put it very bluntly.

It boils down to one word: escape!

The only question is, where to escape to?

"How about... we return east, back to the area beyond the Great Wall?"

"The reason that monster has returned at this critical juncture is probably because the guides he captured have already searched everywhere they could, and the remaining troops and His Majesty should have found another hiding place."

"They couldn't find it, so they simply followed the reinforcements back into the interior."

"After we return east, as long as we find a new place to hide, that monster may not be able to find us even if it digs three feet into the ground!"

"After all, that's our territory, and it's easy for us to hide wherever we want."

"And if there is a shortage of food in the future, there is no need to worry. We can just plunder some two-legged sheep before leaving the pass."

After racking their brains, all they could think of was returning east.

Not only was Sichuan Zhang Xianzhong's territory, but Zhang Xianzhong's troops also found it difficult to adapt when they left Sichuan, so it was even more difficult for them when they entered Sichuan.

As for other parts of the Central Plains, what difference does it make whether they fled or not?

Isn't that the inevitable outcome of being caught and killed sooner or later?

Returning east is their only way to survive!

"I have also considered returning east, but here is the problem."

"If we are to return east, we will inevitably encounter that monster."

How can we safely bypass this road without attracting his attention?

Dorgon pointed to a spot on the sand table.

If we take a detour, ten days will certainly not be enough.

When the war here ends, the enemy will withdraw their troops to defend Shanhaiguan again, and they will truly have nowhere to escape!

Beyond the sky, watching the enthusiastic discussion among these people, Qianlong slowly typed a question mark.

Are you that scared?

"No, I mean, is that Xiang Ji really that terrifying?"

"Even if he returns with his troops, what can he do? Our Qing Dynasty's elite cavalry also number over 30,000. The two sides are evenly matched, and Xiang Ji has been rushing back day and night, so he must be extremely exhausted."

Why are you only thinking about escaping?

Even from God's perspective, he was completely bewildered.

Xiang Yu's image is also on one side of the sky, and it is not hard to see from it that his troops are all exhausted.

Even though they won battle after battle under Xiang Yu's leadership and their morale was high, they were still human and would get tired.

Especially after so many days of fighting outside the Great Wall and then rushing back day and night, most of them were so exhausted that they could barely keep their eyes open.

If Dorgon seizes this opportunity and temporarily contracts the formation on the main battlefield, while leading his troops to cooperate with the 30,000 reinforcements in a surprise attack, he may not be able to win a complete victory, but he can at least cripple most of their fighting capacity!

At that point, wouldn't the initiative on the battlefield still be in his hands?

But now, upon learning that Xiang Yu had led his troops back, the only thought in his mind was to escape.

How the hell are we supposed to fight this?

Fu Heng, who was standing to the side, was already muttering to himself.

Your Majesty, you're all talk. If you were actually in Prince Zhong's position, you'd probably run away even faster than him.

You really have no idea how terrifying the pressure Xiang Yu exerted when he appeared on the front lines of the battlefield was?

Honestly, Fu Heng felt that if there were such an enemy, who could repeatedly lead a small force to be invincible on the battlefield, capturing generals and flags as easily as eating and drinking.

Moreover, he easily broke through the encirclements of several times, and even suffered heavy losses on his own side.

In addition, he led his troops in several charges, causing havoc in his own camp.

If it were him on the front lines, he would have been repeatedly broken through by this monstrous opponent, and even nearly died in battle.

After barely escaping, they learned that the monster had reappeared on the battlefield.

Let alone launching a surprise attack, he felt that the fact that he hadn't abandoned his army and fled was already a testament to his sense of responsibility as a general.

"Fuheng, what are you muttering about? Am I wrong?"

"As long as Prince Zhong seizes the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, there is at least a 70-80% chance that he can severely damage Xiang Ji, if not a 100% chance."

"With a bit of luck, we might even be able to cut him down from his horse when he's exhausted!"

"But he only thought about escaping, which truly tarnishes the reputation of the warriors of our Great Qing!"

"He has forgotten his dignity and glory as a prince of the Qing Dynasty!"

In his excitement, Emperor Qianlong spat all over Fuheng's face.

Fu Heng: "..."

Your Majesty, have you forgotten?

The dignity and glory of the Qing Dynasty, as well as this vast land, were precisely given to it by Prince Zhong.
