PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Yuan Boren".

Azig, who has an army of 80,000 in Xuzhou, is willing to "help" Dolgon?

Obviously, it was impossible, and Azig wished that Dorgon had died sooner and could give up the position of regent to make him happy.

Even if this is Dolgon's side, it is not monolithic.

For example, Ganglin and Qi Chongge, the two "Hum Ha two generals", if Dolgon is in good health, then there is indeed no doubt about the loyalty of these two people, but the problem is that these two people probably know better than Dolgon himself, how long Dolgon's lifespan is.

The trees are falling and scattering, the walls are falling and everyone is pushing, and the living can't be dragged to death by a dead person, right?

So, Dolgon's plan seems to be meticulous, but in fact it is full of loopholes, and it is a joke.

However, no one on the two warring sides realized this at this time, because, even if Dolgon's plan was full of loopholes, the Qing army in the battlefields of Huai'an, Yangzhou, and Fengyang was real, and the sacrifices of the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army were also real.

……。

In the past half a month, the entire Yangzhou Mansion has been plunged into war.

Especially along the Yangtze River, east to Yizhen and Jiangdu, west to Taixing and Tongzhou, 200,000 troops fought fiercely and fought fiercely in this place for days, and the battlefield was everywhere, full of beacon fires.

However, with the landing of the First Army of the Northern Expedition and the continuous expansion of the landing sites, the situation on the battlefield has changed somewhat.

The cavalry of the Qing army did not dare to attack and disturb again, and they gradually dared to run rampant from a single bull record before, and now they no longer dare to act with a force of less than a thousand horsemen.

But the battle that really turned the tide of the battlefield in the south of Yangzhou was an encounter in Ningxiang Township.

The commander of the two warring sides was Titicham, the commander of the cavalry of the Qing army.

Titicamu, Ula Division, Saharcha Clan, subordinate to the Yellow Banner.

Before the war, Tikhamu was a staff leader, and his immediate boss was the deputy capital Tun Bashan.

This Bashan is the Bashan that was lured out of the city by Jiang Quanyi when Taizhou Wei attacked Xinghua City before, was ambushed by Taizhou Wei halfway, and was unfortunately dragged by a war horse to "surrender voluntarily".

Bashan was captured, and the Tikhamu was cheapened, although the official still participated in the leadership, but in fact, the power had taken over Bashan and became the commander of this 3,600 cavalry.

There are two main generals on the Northern Expeditionary Army, one is Zu Dabi, who led 2,000 cavalry south from Huai'an City, and the other is General Chi Erhanchi, who "eats me with a knife".

Zu Dabi was ordered by Wu Zheng to go south to meet with reinforcements, so as to open up the channel for reinforcements to the north, but Zu Dabi knew very well that with his 2,000 cavalry, he could not confront the Eight Banners cavalry running across Yangzhou.

Therefore, Zu Dabi chose to travel day and day, detour to the east to Qinggou, then turn south, detour for three days, and arrive at the north side of Qingshuitan through Guangyang Lake.

At this time, the traces were unfortunately discovered by the scout cavalry of the Titichami Department.

After learning the news, Kakam led his cavalry to bite Zu Dabi and chased him, and when he reached the vicinity of Ningxiang Township, the distance between the two sides was less than ten miles.

At this time, it is completely meaningless to flee, because further south is Taizhou, and Taizhou has been occupied by the Qing army, if it is attacked from both sides, it will really have no way out.

Zu Dabi had no choice but to turn around and fight.

Two thousand against three thousand six, which obviously doesn't have much chance of winning.

At this critical juncture, a Northern Expeditionary Army musketeer suddenly appeared in the woods on the right side of the official road and fired a side salvo at the Titicacian cavalry on the battlefield.

This is Chi Erhan's 5,000 state guards, but why did Chi Erhan suddenly appear here?

Chi Erhan was originally ordered to garrison the south bank as a reserve for this battle.

After hearing that the young master was trapped in Huai'an, Chi Erhan was in a hurry and forced Zhang Mingzhen to transport his troops with a sailor and land in Taixing.

In other words, before Wu Zheng issued a retreat order to Chen Sheng and Fang Guoan, Chi Erhan's troops had already landed on the north bank, and he preempted the enemy's cavalry to capture Taizhou.

But Chi Erhan's army did not carry artillery, but was just an ordinary musketeer, so as soon as Chi Erhan landed, he ordered a march to the northwest, intending to seek a rendezvous with Chen Sheng before the enemy captured Jiangdu, and then decide on the next step.

No, when Chi Erhan rushed to the vicinity of Wanshou Town, east of Jiangdu, he heard that Jiangdu had fallen and was captured by the enemy, and Chen Sheng and Fang Guoan led their troops to retreat to Yizhen.

In this way, there is no possibility of joining Chen Sheng.

But a lone army can't go north.

In desperation, Chi Erhan could only turn around and retreat to the riverside in order to obtain supplies from the sailors, so that Chi Erhan led his troops to occupy the port town.

These days, although there were also small groups of enemy cavalry "visiting" near the port town, they were all repulsed by Chi Erhan.

After a few times, the enemy learned that there was a large Northern Expeditionary Army in Port Town, and they stopped coming, because their main goal was to cut off the retreat of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the north, and they had no interest in a small town.

At the end of this day, Chi Erhan saw that the enemy was no longer coming to attack, and he was worried about the safety of his young master, so he couldn't stay, just when the first army landed on the coast, Chi Erhan handed over the port town, and quietly bypassed Taizhou to lead the troops to the north, fortunately, the Qing army in Yangzhou was also insufficient, and it was impossible to blockade the counties and villages, so Chi Erhan's department suddenly appeared in the area of Ningxiang Town in the north of Taizhou.

This musket army was a veteran of more than two years brought by Chi Erhan when he was the deputy commander of Yanzhou Wei, and they were skilled in shooting and extremely fast in loading, and they fired three rounds of salvos in the moment when the cavalry on both sides began to hedge at a distance of eight miles.

Cavalry frontal charge, the target cross-section is small, as small as an infantry frontal, once a person is lying on horseback, it is difficult to aim, but if you shoot from the side, especially in the case of a pre-ambush, it is almost impossible to aim accurately, the target is too large.

After three rounds of shooting, the attacked Qing cavalry did not react, the speed was too fast, mainly when the cavalry on the right side fell off their horses after being shot, the cavalry in the middle and on the left did not realize the attack at all, and the huge hooves of the cavalry of the two armies covered the sound of musket shooting.

It was not until the right flank became thin that Titham, who was galloping in the middle, discovered that there was an enemy ambush and immediately ordered the whole army to make a detour to the left, but at this time, it was obvious that the situation on the battlefield could no longer be controlled.

Because Zu Dabi's cavalry had already rushed closer, it was right in front of him, and there was no room for maneuver, so he did it directly.

But even so, Zu Dabi's 2,000 cavalry still couldn't completely defeat the Titicamu Division.

If it weren't for the fact that Chi Erhan had already ordered the first division to go around the enemy's rear to block the attack at the same time as he launched the surprise attack, it would be likely that most of the Titicamu troops would have broken through and escaped smoothly.

The moment he realized that there were musketeers, he was like a bird with a frightened bow, and the experience of General Bashan made him deeply regret the cavalry that pursued Zu Dabi.
