This episode on the road did not stop Zhu Hao's plan to march, and the troops marched urgently and rushed to Tengxian early the next morning. The soldiers defending the city saw a group of Ming troops, and after asking about the situation, they invited Liu Wenchang, the prefect who fled to this place, and Zhu Yipai, the king of Xinlu, to the city.

Zhu Hao didn't talk nonsense, and ordered ten guards and Luo Yunqu to enter the city.

Tengxian County Ya, which became the temporary palace of King Lu.

Zhu Yipai knew that Zhu Hao was also a line of King Lu, so he talked about the clan with him, and finally called him a brother, Zhu Yipai was a few years older as a brother, Zhu Hao asked about the situation in Yanzhou.

"Brother Wang, it's helpless to be a brother, although there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yanzhou Mansion, they are all old and weak, and they are not enough to resist the offensive of the Tartars, so Governor Liu made this decision and came to Teng County to guard." Zhu Yipai sighed and put the responsibility on Liu Wenchang.

Zhu Shouyong, the king of Lao Lu, died of grief before the Qing army surrounded Yanzhou, and gave up the throne to his eldest son Zhu Yipai before he died, but this Zhu Yipai was a timid and mediocre person.

Liu Wenchang has a hard time, everyone knows the imperial court system, and where the vassal king is killed, he will have to be unlucky, so he has to protect the prince and flee.

"What's the situation out there now? What about in the city? Zhu Hao didn't bother to pay attention to the intrigue between the two.

"Well, as far as I know, the Qing army doesn't seem to have any plans to go south, only wandering east and west of Yanzhou, but yesterday I found traces of a large group of cavalry, not far from here." Liu Wenchang replied honestly.

"It's okay, now that we have Brother Wang's army, we can sit back and relax." Zhu Yipaile said.

"Report, ladies and gentlemen, there is news from General Zhu's troops outside the city that a large group of Qing cavalry has been found in the north of the city, the number of which is unknown, and it is less than twenty miles away." A soldier hurriedly came to report.

"What? Tartar or is it coming? Governor Liu quickly opened the city gate and let Brother Wang's army enter the city to defend it. When Zhu Yipai heard the news of the Qing army's attack, he was immediately frightened.

"No need, Brother Wang, don't be impatient, the younger brother will go out of the city, annihilate the invading enemy, and let the Tartar see the ability of my Ming man!" Zhu Hao was very unhappy when he saw that this person was so cowardly, so he coldly dropped a sentence and turned around and went out.

"Why is this person so arrogant, Governor Liu, how is this good." Zhu Yipai was in a hurry.

Zhu Hao ignored the idea of the royal brother, went out of the city to the camp, and hurriedly gathered the generals.

"The Qing army has arrived in front of you, Du Qishan, can you have a detailed military report?"

"Tanma has just sent back the news that a Qing army is coming to Teng County, the number is estimated to be about 3,000, more than half of them are Han troops, and only a small number of Manchu Eight Banners and Mongolian soldiers. However, these Qing troops were busy plundering nearby villages and towns, and it was estimated that it would take an hour to reach the city. ”

"Okay, let's deal with it in advance, Wang Boda, you lead the people and horses of the headquarters to detour behind the enemy through Longyang Town, intercept the Baisha River, block the enemy's rear road, Xiao Maoce and Zhao Yuansheng each lead the people and horses of the headquarters as the left and right wings, I and Luo Yunqu are the main formation, Zhou Da's cavalry is the rear formation, and the enemy is bombarded with artillery fire first. If the enemy retreats, he will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and this battle may be won but not defeated, understand? ”

"Understood!" The generals responded with a bang and went to gather the people of the headquarters non-stop.

When Zhu Hao's army lined up in formation, a large group of men and horses in the distance came into view, Zhu Hao saw with a telescope at a high place, the Qing army's flag armor was clear and easy to identify, there were about 1,000 Han troops in the front, all of them were infantry, the back was the Han cavalry, and then hundreds of Mongolian cavalry were behind, and the last one in gray and white armor was the Manba Banner, about two Niulu more than 500 people. One by one, they are bulging, and they are as if they have entered a no-man's land.

Zhu Hao snorted coldly and ordered to prepare for battle.

In the rear of the Qing army, a man on horseback with a short beard is holding a Han woman happy, this person is called Ao Erduo, the brother of Aobai, and also the leader of this Qing army.

"Report, Commander, I found a brigade of Ming troops ahead, and they are lining up under the city." A cavalryman came to report.

Ao Erduo followed Dolgon into the customs this time, fought a lot of battles, and made a lot of money, all the Ming troops encountered escaped, no one dared to stop, so he also developed an arrogant character, and when he heard that the Ming army was arrayed outside the city, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry.

"What, there are still Han people who dare to fight me outside the city? What a joke. Wait for Lao Tzu to take a look. ”

Ao Erduo threw down the woman in his arms, patted his horse out, and saw that several teams of Ming troops not far from the opposite side were lined up in a line, waiting for the battle. couldn't help laughing, and said to Kawang, the commander of the Mongolian army beside him: "Look, what are these southern barbarians doing, it's the first time I've seen the Ming army lined up like this, it's really looking for death, haha." ”

"Yes, the commander of this Ming army is a fool, such a team has no depth, and it only takes a charge to take it." Kawang also laughed arrogantly.

"Then what are you waiting for, Zhao Sanbao, don't rush up with your people yet, give Lao Tzu some money." Ao Erduo gave the order to attack with the Han army commander below.

"Yes, sir." was reprimanded, although Zhao Sanbao felt uncomfortable, he didn't dare to offend the Manchurian master.

"It's all there, attack immediately and destroy this Ming army." Zhao Sanbao pulled out his waist knife and waved, and the five hundred Han cavalry and one thousand infantry at the front screamed and began to charge.

These Han soldiers fought with the Manchus, although they were used as cannon fodder, but relying on the might of the Eight Banners, they almost never encountered decent resistance, and they all had the habit of pretending to be tigers. Seeing that this Ming army was thin, it was a good opportunity to make war achievements, and one by one they took out the strength to eat milk and charged forward desperately.

Zhu Hao stared coldly at this group of spineless Han soldiers, he hated traitors and lackeys from the bottom of his heart.

"Attention, artillery, start attacking." Zhu Hao pulled out his sword and waved.

The artillery in the rear column hurriedly began to reload and correct.

"Five hundred meters, artillery No. 1 is ready, fire!" The artillery captain methodically gave the order to open the cannon.

The No. 1 artillery is a large Franc machine, which mainly fires solid iron bullets, implements low flat fire, and has an extremely long range, up to 1,000 meters away. The effective killing distance is 1,500 meters, although it is far worse than the Hongyi cannon, which is not conducive to defending the city, but it is enough to deal with the enemy's charge.

A series of huge explosions sounded, and more than a dozen iron bullets with thick bowls screamed and instantly crossed a distance of several hundred meters at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and rushed into the enemy formation.

I only heard "puff puff", the sound of continuous flesh and bone breaking came, these iron bullets as if into no man's land rampage deep into the enemy formation, suddenly opened out more than a dozen rivers of blood, flesh and blood flying, everywhere the stumps of people and horses broken arms and screams, miserable.

In such a short distance, the power of the solid bullet was brought into full play, driven by the huge kinetic energy, the shell rushed straight into the enemy position for more than 100 meters before stopping the stone, and a few shells also hit several siege vehicles in the Qing army's middle formation, and immediately smashed these wooden vehicles to pieces.

Because of the carelessness of the Qing army, they did not expect in advance that the Ming army would move the artillery outside the city, so the stormtroop formation was very dense. The results of the first round of artillery bombardment were also very large, and Zhu Hao estimated that more than 300 enemy troops were killed and wounded in this single blow, most of which were Han cavalry.

Ao Erduo was also taken aback, but he was still quick to react, he had a wealth of experience in fighting against the Ming artillery, and hurriedly shouted: "Damn scattered charge, don't you see that the Ming army has artillery?" ”

"Boom, boom, boom" was another burst of artillery, and within less than a minute of the Qing army's change of formation, Zhu Hao's artillery fired another round of solid shells. Due to the change of angle in advance, although the effect was not as good as the first round, it also killed and injured nearly 200 Han troops.

Seeing that the Han cavalry had just rushed less than 100 meters and lost more than half, Ao Erduo jumped like thunder but had no choice. One could only pray that the remaining Han troops would rush through this artillery line as soon as possible. This is also the current Qing army's consistent combat experience against the Ming army's artillery, scattering formations and desperately charging.
