At this time, the soldiers who came from the north gate reported outside the gate, "General, the enemy has attacked again!" ”

Jiang Quanyi wiped away his tears and stood up, "If you want to stay, take three hundred reserves and go to the City God Temple to defend against the enemy...... If you want to go, go out from the east gate, go to the East China Sea, and then find a boat to cross the sea, when you see the prince, ask him for me, if you do it again, will he choose to go on a northern expedition in one go, or will he still accumulate strength and wait for a good opportunity? ”

After speaking, Jiang Quanyi took Sui Hu to the north gate.

Behind him, everyone was silent.

Then, a man lifted the musket from the gun rack, slung it over his shoulder, and went out in the opposite direction.

Then, there is the second, the third .......

No one goes east, though facing the sea in the east, is the only way to live.

But in the eyes of these veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, perhaps, standing and dying is far more enjoyable than kneeling.

……。

"Your Excellency......."

Qingyin's face was pale, she kept calling Shen Zhiyuan an adult, maybe it was a kind of remembrance of her past experience.

Shen Zhiyuan, who was stroking Dong Gu's abdomen, didn't raise his head, "What's the matter...... Don't you see I'm busy? By the way, Gege is about to give birth, so you go and call the midwife in the East Chamber...... ”

Qing Yin didn't move, and she continued to whisper, "Your Excellency, ......." ”

Shen Zhiyuan was stunned, he turned his head suspiciously, looked at Qing Yin, and then suddenly changed his smiling face, and said to Dong Gu who was chanting in pain, "I have already sent someone to inform the prince...... The midwife will be here soon, so bear with me first. ”

Dong Gu grabbed Shen Zhiyuan's hand, "Forehead...... I'm afraid. ”

Shen Zhiyuan glanced at Qing Yin helplessly, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Qing Yin hesitated slightly, glanced at Dongguo, and saw that Shen Zhiyuan did not react, so he could only report truthfully: "Two days ago, Prince Rui ordered Ji Xiha to lead 5,000 cavalry with yellow flags and Lan Bai to lead 12,000 new troops from Yanzhou...... Ji Xiha attacked Shuyang, Lan Bai attacked Ganyu, and the ultimate goal was ...... Haizhou. ”

Shen Zhiyuan showed a shocked expression, "Fart!" How is this possible...... How come I don't know, why no one has come to inform me? It must be a mistake, how could the prince be stupid enough to be used as a gunman by the imperial court? ”

Facing Shen Zhiyuan's vicious foul mouth, Qingyin looked at Shen Zhiyuan quietly.

Shen Zhiyuan slowly stiffened, and he suddenly realized that this matter was ...... It should be true.

Although Dolbo has a grudge against the imperial court, he is a Manchurian after all, and in dealing with foreign enemies, Dolbo's ass determines his position, not to mention, the advantages of launching this war outweigh the disadvantages.

Taking advantage of the situation to seize Haizhou, Huai'an Mansion is equivalent to a beautiful woman without clothes, exposed under the front of the Yanzhou army.

And all the attention is attracted to the new dynasty of Fengyang Mansion, I am afraid that it will not be too late to send troops to reinforce Haizhou, even if the speed is fast, it will be good to be able to hold Yangzhou Mansion.

Shen Zhiyuan could barely look at the map to know that the 3,000 defenders of Shuyang and the 5,000 or 6,000 people of Haizhou could not stop the attack of the new army at all.

This made Shen Zhiyuan's whole body blank, he opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Dong Gu deadly.

Dong Gu, who had been exhaling pain, was shocked by this strange look, and also looked at Shen Zhiyuan in a daze.

"I finally got it." Shen Zhiyuan said.

"You...... Got what? ”

"Why did your brother send me to Qingzhou and let you accompany him." Shen Zhiyuan said expressionlessly, "Divide me in order to facilitate the mobilization of the new army, Dolbo knows that with me in Ziyang, Ganglin and Qi Chongge, even if you add Lanbai and Jixiha, you will not be able to mobilize the new army to fight in ......the south." ”

Dong Gu was frightened by Shen Zhiyuan's expression, and she hurriedly said, "No...... That's not true...... Brother is for your good! ”

"It is indeed for my good to let a noble Dorogge accompany me who is idle and enjoy a happy life in Yidu." Shen Zhiyuan suddenly laughed, "Do you know...... No, you should know, I'm a Han. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Zhiyuan suddenly turned around and walked out the door.

Behind him, Dong Gu hissed and shouted, "Where are you going?" ”

Shen Zhiyuan didn't look back and said, "Haizhou." ”

Dong Gu hurriedly said: "Haizhou is already a battlefield, and there are only more than 100 guards around ...... Eju. ”

"Then I will die with Jiang Quanyi...... This is me, I owe him! ”

Dong Gu let out a heart-rending cry, she knew that this man, maybe she had never really had.

Maybe everything is just from the beautiful imagination in her heart.

……。

In fact, the speed at which Chang Lin Wei transmitted the news was safer than that of the scouts in the army.

Because of the transmission of news, Changlinwei is point-to-point, like a relay race.

The scouts in the army need to rely on their own strength to avoid the sight of the enemy's scouts, and sometimes, they will be delayed for a long time because of evasion.

When Wu Zheng received the news of the Qing army's surprise attack on Shuyang, it was actually the time when the offensive and defensive battle of Haizhou broke out.

Indeed, this news came too late, and even if you put on your wings, you won't have time to reinforce it.

Nowadays, Xuzhou and Fengyang are directly subordinate to the Qing court, while Yanzhou and Qingzhou are controlled by Dolbo, and Huai'an Mansion is adjacent to the sea in the east, that is to say, it is only connected to Yangzhou Mansion in the south.

Because of the southward retreat of the First Army and the guards, Yangzhou Mansion only had 6,000 people from the First Army stationed in the Jiangdu, as well as Xinghua City, and some of the infantry of Zu Dabi who surrendered after the Huai'an City was broken at that time.

After Zu Dabi surrendered, on the order of Wu Zheng, he led his cavalry to break through to the south, intending to open up the contact between Huai'an and Taizhou, and then encountered the enemy cavalry in the south of Xinghua, and joined forces with Chi Erhan, who just arrived to defeat the enemy cavalry, and got a lot of war horses.

After that, Qian Qiaogong wanted to form a cavalry, and Zu Dabi used the war horse as a bargaining chip in exchange for the position of deputy commander of the Wind and Thunder Cavalry.

And the infantry under Zu Dabi, for a while, there was no suitable place to go, so they were temporarily stranded in Xinghua.

The number of remnants of this army was not large, only three or four thousand.

Therefore, no matter how Wu Zheng tried to find an army that could be reinforced nearby, it was in vain.

Wu Zheng was furious, and immediately ordered Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Yilin, two major naval divisions, to load 6,000 men of Wu Songwei at Wusongkou, and sail northward, if Hairang was lost, they would shell Andongwei (the southernmost point of Qingzhou Linhai), and forcibly land and launch an attack, with the aim of cutting off the retreat of the enemy army attacking Haizhou.

At the same time, the First Army was ordered to quickly assemble and transport troops from the railway to Wusongkou day and night.

Finally, Shi Lang's sailors were ordered to prepare a ferry to transport the First Army from Wusongkou to Tongzhou on the other side within three days.

These three military orders are equivalent to opening the curtain of the war.

At this time, Xiong Rulin and Mo Zhinian, who were arguing with Wu at the time, and Mo Zhinian and Zhang Guowei, who rushed to hear the news, issued strong objections to this matter.

They were almost unanimous in their opposition to a decisive battle with the Qing court at this time.
