Fortunately, although the line of defense on the river beach is not big, the chest wall is wide and thick enough! There are also sunken places on it to place infantry cannons. There is also a rush to make Brother Liu's counterweight trolling machine that can throw flowering bullets!

But Qi Qitao knew in his heart that this line of defense would not last long! The purpose of setting up this line of defense was to block the enemy's attack as much as possible so that he could have time to withdraw his personnel to the other side of the river.

On the dock, Qi Qitao began to busy the soldiers preparing for the ships to cross the river. He also asked someone to make a lot of rafts. Now his transportation capacity can ensure that all the remaining soldiers cross the river after two transportations.

When Qi Qitao and the others rested for less than a quarter of an hour, the Western Army began to attack again! This time Qi Qitao saw the archers and bird gunners in the crowd! This shows that Liu Wenxiu has high hopes for this attack!

Seeing the enemy assembled, the soldiers had to drive their heavy bodies to stand behind the chest wall mixed with stones and wood, ready to resist this wave of attack.

Soon, the Daxi Army felt that it had enough of the attacking numbers, so it began to charge towards the last line of defense! Qi Qitao commanded six catapults to throw flowering bullets at the archers! Although the shells exploded in the crowd, the efficiency of the catapults would definitely not be as efficient as the artillery, so there was no way to stop the charge of the Daxi Army. However, this round of bombardment broke up the archers' team, which was also a success!

After the first round of flowering bomb explosions, the soldiers fired the muskets in their hands, firmly suppressing the Daxi Army to a distance of more than 60 steps! Within this distance, they could not only see the figures of the Tokugawa soldiers, but also hear the shouts of officers at all levels issued orders!

Qi Qitao heard it very clearly. Liu Wenxiu had already offered them a high reward! One person's head of silver is 100 taels! This is an unprecedented price!

The soldiers smiled bitterly and made fun of each other, comparing how heavy their heads were! The thin people would benefit from their own profits! Because their heads must be much lighter than those with tall bodies! And those who feel that the heavy heads were scolding the Daxi Army for taking advantage of themselves!

This round of attack was quickly defeated! But let everyone

Surprisingly, the rest time this time was particularly long! When encountering this situation, the soldiers were naturally very happy, but Qi Qitao frowned!

He was thinking about what was wrong here? Liu Wenxiu would never give them a chance to breathe. So the staff officer beside him asked: "General, what are you thinking now?"

Qi Qitao said: "I really want to know what Liu Wenxiu is thinking now? Why did this offense be so long?"

The staff officer said: "Isn't it good to have more rest time?"

Qi Qitao said: "But this is not what I worry about! What I worry about is that the other party is planning a big offensive!"

The staff officer smiled wryly and said, "General, when did the attack we deal with was smaller?"

Qi Qitao said, "Who knows!"

Qi Qitao kept staring at the burning fire in the distance, suddenly turned around and said, "Start the retreat plan immediately, let half of the people get on the boat first, and leave immediately!"

The staff officer said in surprise: "General, I don't think it's that far."

Qi Qitao gritted his teeth and said, "I know what Liu Wenxiu wants to do! Now we are on the flat ground and have no geographical advantage, so he wants to push everyone forward without any gaps and completely crush us! So he needs time to assemble the team, so he gives us such a long time to get a ceasefire!"

The staff officer was shocked and said, "If Liu Wenxiu really did this, we would definitely not be able to stop him! But is he willing to give up such a large amount of capital?"

The staff officer knew that the peace talks they were in were smooth now, and they had lost all their artillery, leaving only some small-caliber infantry carrying artillery, and the enemy could launch a desperate charge and rush over continuously! Sacrifice a part of the vanguard troops, and easily break through their thin defense line!

Qi Qitao sneered and said, "Why can't he bear it? There are at least 20,000 Daxi Army who are dead at our hands now. In order to kill us, does he still care about the 10,000 deaths?"

The staff officer turned pale when he heard this and immediately said, "I'll arrange for a retreat now! But

General, you must first get on board!"

Qi Qitao did not make a meaningless debate and nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will retreat in the first batch!"

The staff officer felt relieved when he heard this, and then turned to arrange for the soldiers to retreat. The soldiers from Shandong were well-trained and ordered them to be issued at once. Even if they didn't understand what happened, they would execute them quickly, not to mention that they knew that the situation was not very good.

Since it was of course a good thing to evacuate to the other side of the river in advance, everyone quickly started to board the ship. Qi Qitao didn't say much, he left all his personal soldiers and boarded the last boat by himself.

At this time, the first ships filled with people were already in the center of the river. Behind the ships were a huge raft, and soldiers were also covered with soldiers. The main force of transportation was two transport ships. This was just in case of staying.

Just when Qiqitao was just on board, the vanguard of the Daxi Army had already appeared in the distance. Qiqitao took out his telescope and put it in front of his eyes to look. He did not observe the vanguard of the Daxi Army, but looked back along the crowd.

The results he saw made him feel cold! As he guessed, Liu Wenxiu was already making a desperate bet! The crowd behind the vanguard of the Western Army was constantly invisible and there was no end. It seemed that he was preparing to flood the beachheads of Shandong soldiers in one fell swoop!

Qiqi put down her telescope and shouted loudly: "Shake quickly, quickly, hurry up!"

The soldiers beside him did not speak, but were sliding the oars hard. Qi Qitao tried his best to calm himself down. He knew that it would be useless to urge him at this time, because the soldiers had already tried their best!

He stood at the stern of the boat and raised his telescope to watch the battle. At this time, the counterweight trencher had already played a role. The flowering bullets were ignited by the soldiers and then threw them out one by one, shattering the tide of the Western Army again and again! The rest of the soldiers also shot desperately with their semicircular chest walls!
