    The war drums beat, and the Qing army launched a fierce attack.  The Eight Banners soldiers knew that as long as they defeated the Yuyuan Army, they could escape back to Anhui, so they attacked very bravely. However, fighting in mountainous areas was not their strong point. The battles in the mountainous areas were even more brutal human meat grinders. The Qing army continued to attack until dark.  After conquering three camps, the Yuyuan Army retreated and resisted step by step. Although they lost three camps in a row, they behaved very calmly and retreated to the fourth camp. They did not collapse as Tan Tai imagined.  .  "There are experts among the Yuyuan thieves. Could it be that Li Laiheng?" Tan Tai was worried all night. It is said that the Yuyuan Army, a ragtag group of people, does not have such high tactical quality. There must be someone to help them command. If one of the camps is so slow,  Pushing forward slowly, facing dozens of companies and camps built by hundreds of thousands of Yuyuan troops, I don't know how long it will take to reach Yingshan.  Tan Tai knew that the current situation was very dangerous, so he could only bite the bullet and continue fighting. He hoped that Wu Sangui and Hexi Fourth General would come as soon as possible and attack the Yuyuan Army from both sides. There was still a great hope of escaping.  His mind was racing and he didn't fall asleep until late at night. He was woken up by his men just as he fell asleep. Yuyuan Army and Li Laiheng had just launched a night attack and recaptured another camp.  When did the Yuyuan thief become more powerful!  Tan Tai was so furious that he beheaded the Qing generals guarding the camp in public, and ordered his troops to counterattack all night to retake the camp. After dawn, he selected 5,000 elite light armors and crossed the mountains and ridges to attack the flanks of the Yuyuan Army.  After a whole day of fierce fighting, the Qing army gradually adapted to this kind of battle. When it got dark, Tan Tai broke through seven camps of the Yuyuan Army, which was much more efficient than the first day. According to this progress, there will be more  In three or four days, they can break through the Yuyuan Army's defense line.  But at this moment, the scouts came to report, and the main force of the Chu army finally caught up. In addition to Lu Renqing's troops, a new face came this time - Tie Zhaorong.  Tie Zhaorong's troops are all cavalry, which can offset the advantage of the Eight Banners cavalry. Lu Renqing's troops are the reserve team of the Chu army. Except for the last time when Li Guo was surrounded and rushed to the rescue, he did not participate in the battle at other times.  In addition to these two troops, other Chu troops were also rushing towards Yingshan. Tan Tai knew that something was wrong, and the hope of retreating with the whole division had been shattered.  Divide your troops and break out!  Tan Tai ordered that Geng Zhongming led the troops of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty to stay here, and continued to attack the Yuyuan Army's camp with the Green Battalion, striving to break out from Yingshan. He and Tunbuer led the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia to divert to the southeast and still retreat from Qishui  , the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia are all cavalry. After getting rid of the infantry such as Geng Zhongming and Green Camp, their mobility has been greatly enhanced, and they still have a chance to break through.  The advantage of cavalry is to run away if you can't beat them.  In order to ensure the safety of the Manchu Taijun, Tan Tai ordered Geng Zhongming and Luying to hand over all their war horses, and used Tan Tai's banner to attract the main force of the Chu army as much as possible. This may not have much effect, but it can be a life-and-death situation.  If you have a little hope, you must try your best.  After obtaining the horses from Geng Zhongming and Green Camp, the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia not only guaranteed one man and one horse, but also had some spare horses. The troops set off at dawn, using only the banner of Tunbuer, disguised as a partial division to break out separately, and quickly  Advance towards Qishui.  Qishui is the largest of the five rivers in Huanggang. There are hundreds of large and small tributaries in the basin. The water is deep and wide. It cannot be easily crossed like other rivers. Only in certain shallow rivers can the cavalry barely swim.  After wading across the river, Tan Tai and Tunbuer rushed to Datong Town on the west bank of Qishui River at dawn. In order to seize the ferry, they launched a surprise attack on Datong Town. They captured the town in just a quarter of an hour. Even Tan Tai himself was successful.  Somewhat unexpected.  The guard of Datong Town is Zhang Jiayu, a well-known old-fashioned scholar in the Chu army. He has always been known for his strongholds and fighting stupid wars. Instead of being lazy and living in Datong Town, he built a camp by the Qishui River and blocked the ferry.  It was tightly sealed to prevent the Qing army from bypassing Datong Town and escaping directly from the ferry. Since Zhang Jiayu's main force was in the camp by the river, Tan Tai was able to capture Datong Town so smoothly.  After Tan Tai captured Datong Town, he rushed to the ferry, but was resolutely blocked by Zhang Jiayu. He used the camp to hold on, and the cavalry had no advantage in attacking the fort. Tan Tai charged several times, but failed and returned. Seeing that there was no opportunity to take advantage, he  He led his troops to leave Datong Town and rush to the lower reaches of Qishui River.  In the Baiyun Mountain area downstream, Tan Tai fought a fierce battle with the Chu army and finally crossed the Qishui River. At this time, Jin Shenghuan, Li Guo, Teng Shuanglin and other troops pursued them one after another, re-enacting the drama of intercepting, breaking through and intercepting again.  Tan Tai's mobility became stronger now, and the impact of the cavalry was greater. After several fierce battles, he broke through the defense lines of Jin Shenghuan and others one after another, and forced his way to the Chidong Lake area in Guangji County, but there was no  With the cover and cooperation of the infantry, as well as the green camp cannon fodder who can serve as scapegoats, the Eight BannersThe number of casualties increased significantly. When they rushed to Chidong Lake, Tan Tai and Tunbuer had already suffered more than half of their casualties, leaving only more than 10,000 troops.  "We'd better break out separately. I'll hold back the main force of the Southern thieves. You still have a chance to escape." Tan Tai was determined and determined to die.  ¡°Actually, he didn¡¯t want to die, but he had no choice.  The battle has been fought like this. It is already a huge defeat. Even if one or two remnants can break through, so many Eight Banners disciples have been lost in Huangzhou Mansion. Tan Tai will be torn apart by those noble men of the Manchu Qing Dynasty when he returns to Beijing.  , the Manchu Qing Dynasty is now in a difficult situation. In order to raise an army of 30,000 people this time, many families sent their only male members to the army, including the sons of princes and ministers. In order to appease the anger of the entire Qing Dynasty clan, Tan  Tai will most likely become a scapegoat. If he dies on the battlefield now, he can at least keep the safety and wealth of his family and children.  "Let's go together. We will never leave the commander behind!" Tunbu'er refused to admit his feelings. He was joking, saying that everyone should break out separately. Why are you a righteous warrior and I have become a sluggard?  You deserter, if you survive in the end, the blame for this defeat may be placed on my head, Tuen Bu'er. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of the siege, live or die!  In order to escape and return home, the Eight Banners soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but their morale never dropped. Seeing that the Chu army was surrounding them from all directions, Tan Tai and Tunbuer set off again, advancing towards Huangmei County in the southeast of Huangzhou Prefecture, and passed Huangmei County.  It's the border of Anhui, and the hope of breaking out is right in front of us.  Kill kill kill!  Go, go, go!  The advantages of the cavalry were fully utilized by Tan Tai and Tuen Buer. They rushed left and right amid the encirclement of the Chu army, and finally broke out a bloody road, rushed through Huangmei County and entered Anhui!  Tan Tai and Tuen Bu'er both breathed a sigh of relief. The troops around them now numbered less than 10,000, but in any case, they were finally out of danger.  Immediately after the scouts came to report, Jin Shenghuan's troops appeared in front, blocking the way.  "It's really haunting!" Tan Tai then realized that the provincial border was just a line on the map. The Chu army pursued them all the way to Anhui, and they couldn't say it was a foul. The Chu army's navy went down the river, and the infantry  They could rest while taking the boat, but the Eight Banners cavalry needed to eat and sleep, so Jin Shenghuan's infantry was actually faster than the cavalry.  Since it¡¯s here, let¡¯s fight.  It was another fierce battle.  It was the Qing army that won again, breaking through Jin Shenghuan's interception.  Tan Tai and Tuen Buer were not happy at all.  After fighting one battle after another, the troops were too tired and their morale fluctuated. The battle with Jin Shenghuan suffered very serious casualties, with more than 1,500 people dead and injured. As a result, Tan Tai only had  The strength of the more than 7,000 Eight Banners soldiers has further shrunk. If they are intercepted by the Chu army again, I don't know if they can rush through.  Where is Wu Sangui?  Where are the four generals in Hexi?  Tan Tai had been running away and fighting hard, and had lost contact with the outside world. He thought that even if Wu Sangui had not arrived in time, Zhang Yong, Zhao Liangdong and other Hexi generals should have arrived, but they have not yet appeared. Could there be an accident?  What Tan Tai didn't know was that Zhang Yong, Zhao Liangdong and others had actually rushed to the border area of ??Hubei and Anhui. However, the battlefield situation was too chaotic. Tan Tai and Tunbuer were rushing back and forth again, and their whereabouts were uncertain. Zhang Yong and others were also not sure.  Knowing their specific location, they were intercepted and separated by the Chu army several times and missed. When Tan Tai had just rushed through Huangmei County, he was less than twenty miles away from Zhang Yong's vanguard, but then he went in the opposite direction, farther and farther away.  At this time, Tan Tai and Tunbuer encountered another huge trouble. The troops ran out of food.  To be precise, the forage is cut off first and then the grain is cut off.  After splitting his troops with Geng Zhongming, Tan Tai broke out lightly. He didn't carry much food and grass. Horses eat much more than people. Without the supply of baggage troops, it would definitely not last a few days. Tan Tai expected to support the war with fighting and grab some food and grass along the way.  It was maintained and could be replenished after joining forces with the four generals in Hexi. However, due to the fierce battles along the way, the Qing army had no time to collect food. The horses' fodder ran out first. The Eight Banners soldiers used their own rations to feed the horses, and then killed the horses for food.  , barely supported, still unable to fill this huge gap. After all the rations were used up, the physical strength of the war horses dropped significantly, and many horses were no longer able to ride.  If this continues, the whole army will definitely be wiped out.  In desperation, Tan Tai once again proposed to break out separately, but no longer pretentious about who would cover whom. The seven thousand Eight Banners soldiers were divided into seven thousand-man teams, and the other hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled formed another team. All the teams attacked at the same time.  Break out from eight directions, cover each other, and escape individually.  Tunbuer agreed to this plan and volunteered to break out of the encirclement in the northeast direction, which was about 30 meters away from Wu Sangui.It was close, but it was definitely the direction where the Chu army would focus its encirclement. Tan Tai chose the northwest direction, deliberately raising his flag high to attract the main force of the Chu army as much as possible and cover the other Eight Banners soldiers.  After finally escaping to Anhui, he turned around and ran to the northwest. It looked like a suicide choice anyway. Tunbuer knew his intention and stopped trying to persuade him. After a hearty meal of horse meat, he said goodbye to Tan Tai with fists in his arms.  Set off separately.
