Seeing Dorgon hesitating, Fan Wencheng tried his best to persuade him.
"Alas!" Dorgon sighed, "It is my fault that I lost Jingzhou due to my carelessness! After today's defeat, there will be no more Zhengbai Banner among the upper three banners!"
"Dismount and cross the river!"
Dorgon gritted his teeth, dismounted, and walked onto the floating bridge with his horse, reluctantly.
The temporary floating bridge has an uneven surface, and riding a horse across the bridge would actually delay time.
Upon seeing this, Dorgon's personal soldiers immediately dismounted and waited in line to cross the bridge.
Ma Dai, Wang Yongji, Liu Wenyao, Bakeyong and Li Xianzhong all saw the scene of Dorgon crossing the river.
They all became anxious at the same time.
This battle was planned for a long time, the cost was huge, and there were many casualties!
We must not let a single Jiannu soldier escape!
"Everyone retreat fifty steps and charge the Jiannu army in a horizontal line!" Wang Yongji shouted while riding on his horse, waving his sword, and then led the flag-bearing soldiers to make a detour.
More than three thousand cavalry followed.
Upon seeing this, Ma Dai, Liu Wenyao and Bake Yong instantly understood Wang Yongji's intention, and they all led the flag-bearing soldiers to detour fifty steps, then turned around and faced the Jiannu.

Li Xianzhong, the lieutenant general of the Yongwei Camp, did not form a battle line like the other Ming troops. Instead, he led his men to hide aside, muttering something.
The Eight Banners soldiers took up residence along the river, forming a semicircular line of defense with their soldiers and horses.
More than 10,000 Ming troops surrounded the defense line, watching with eager eyes.
Liu Wenyao urged his horse to take a step forward, turned around and stood in front of everyone, his expression so dignified that no one could look directly at him.
He immediately held his sword horizontally toward the sky and shouted: "The Ming army is mighty!"
"The Ming army is mighty!" Hundreds of Ming soldiers shouted.
Thousands of Ming troops were full of vigor and vitality: "The Ming army is mighty!"
More than 10,000 Ming soldiers shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the heavens and earth and reaching the sky.
"kill!"
