"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

When Yao Wenchang led the army to approach the Yongwei Battalion's baggage team at a hundred paces, only a series of artillery bombardments were heard.

Almost all of the artillery battalions of the Yongwei Battalion were loaded on ships and went south, and the baggage team only carried some easy-to-carry tiger squat cannons to prevent them from being attacked by rogues on the way, which came in handy at this time.

In order to teach the Qingzhou soldiers a painful lesson, Zhou Yuji directly ordered all the artillery to use shotguns, and only started firing when the opponent was within a hundred paces.

Dozens of tiger squatting cannons opened fire together, and the moment the cannon rang out, the Qingzhou soldiers under Yao Wenchang's department immediately let out a scream like a ghost crying wolf, and it swept through one round, with at least hundreds of casualties.

Compared with the two or three layers of heavy armor of the Tartars, Liu Zeqing's subordinates are simply beggars, and they are not even fully equipped with a layer of iron armor, and they are completely here to deliver food.

After dozens of tiger squat cannons finished firing a round, the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion standing behind the grain trucks immediately raised their loaded muskets and fired in three rows of rounds and opened fire on the Qingzhou soldiers.

The flames were staggered, the smoke was filled, and the Qingzhou soldiers under Yao Wenchang fell in rows like harvested crops.

Where have this group of Qingzhou soldiers seen this kind of formation, just one round of blows, they immediately became chaotic, and some people began to run back desperately.

Zhou Yuji sneered: "The escaped general Liu Zeqing really deserves his reputation, and his subordinates are all worthy of his true heritage!" ”

Because of the famine in Shandong, all localities could not afford to supply the military rations of the 20,000 troops of the Yongwei Battalion, so Zhu Cihong arranged that for every hundred miles, Zhou Yuji's baggage team would store some grain in the nearby city for the rear army to use, and assign soldiers to handle.

In this way, it will not affect the march of the rear army, and the baggage team will become more and more relaxed, so now Zhou Yuji's original 5,000 people have been assigned to various places to guard food along the way, and only half of them have arrived here.

Even with just over 2,000 baggage troops, it was enough to deal with a rabble of fleeing generals.

The two sides just started to fight, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the Qingzhou soldiers had already suffered thousands of casualties, and they began to know that the Yongwei battalion was not easy to mess with, and where would they dare to continue fighting, so they turned their heads and ran.

Yao Wenchang was dumbfounded, and couldn't believe that the facts in front of him were true, he was Liu Zeqing's old subordinate, and he followed Liu Zeqing to conquer the east and the west, which can be regarded as a hundred battles (pǎo).

But in the previous battles, where had I seen such a strong and terrible opponent, he had no power to fight back at all, and he was simply beaten without any temper.

Seeing that his soldiers were defeated and retreated, Yao Wenchang didn't have a dead brain to make people turn around and continue to fight, because he knew that attacking again would only be in vain, and it would be useless, so he also quickly turned his horse's head and retreated with the defeated army.

Beat and didn't dare to fight, retreat and didn't dare to retreat, Yao Wenchang was very entangled, he was afraid that he would be punished by Liu Zeqing after going back, so he ordered to repair on the spot to see if he could find an opportunity to meet Ji Ji in the cloud.

Zhou Yuji ignored this scumbag, and after sending someone to send a message to the main force of the rear army, he led the baggage team south again, while Yao Wenchang led the men and horses to hang far behind like a fart, looking for an opportunity to attack again.

In the Linqing area, dozens of miles away from Dongchang Mansion, in the passionate melody of marching drums, a mighty ironclad army was marching south in high spirits.

The main army of the Yongwei battalion consisted of half cavalry, half infantry, and all the sergeants were dressed in armor and fully armed, singing military songs all the way, and their morale was high.

It had been ten days since the army had been marching south, marching at a pace of sixty or seventy miles a day, and soon it was about to catch up with the baggage caravan that had set out five days earlier, and above all no one was left behind.

In the center of the army there is a luxurious dragon chariot, the dragon chariot is driven by six horses, and the body is carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, showing the royal noble and luxurious style.

Only the emperor and the empress can ride, but also the supremacy of the imperial power, this dragon chariot was specially given to Zhu Cihong by Emperor Chongzhen for walking.

In the dragon chariot, Zhu Cihong, who was dressed in a brocade robe, was looking at the yellow book of Fengyang Mansion, the yellow book was made by the Ming Dynasty for the verification of the household registration and the requisition and enlistment, and the Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang left the ancestral system, which was edited once every ten years.

The Yellow Book is not only very informative, but also very detailed, is the most basic data of the entire Ming Dynasty, and is also the foundation and lifeblood of the whole country, it not only records all the population information of the Ming Dynasty in detail, but also maintains the operation of the Ming Dynasty from the establishment to the implementation of the system of enslavement.

If it is placed in later generations, it can be compared to gold, but it is a pity that the yellow book of the Ming Dynasty was burned and destroyed after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and it is difficult to see even one in later generations.

"Where is Sun Yingyuan?" Zhu Cihong asked outside the dragon.

Xu Shengce approached Long Yuan and said, "Back to Your Highness, General Sun's headquarters has already disembarked in Xuzhou and is now heading to Suzhou." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, the purpose of this trip was Fengyang Mansion, according to the plan, Sun Yingyuan disembarked in Xuzhou, and then set off in Suzhou with the follow-up brigade.

Not long after, a dragon Xiang came on his horse without collecting his waist card at night, and reported the situation of Liu Zeqing's attack on the baggage team in front.

Zhu Cihong said coldly: "This Liu Zeqing doesn't pee to show what kind of thing he is, and he dares to snatch food!" Herald! Huang De's 5,000 cavalry set off immediately and wiped out all those eye-opening things! ”

After the order was issued, Huang Degong, who was already bored, cheered and immediately led a large group of cavalry to Dongchang Mansion.

Zhu Cihong is extremely disgusted with Liu Zeqing, this dog thing is not only ruthless and vicious, but will be retributed, and his character is also very poor.

Historically, Liu Zeqing not only did not obey the orders of the imperial court, but also robbed the troops in Linqing every day, Li Zicheng hit the city of Beijing, he had an army of 100,000 in Shandong but refused to go north to King Qin, and later when he led his troops to the south, he burned and robbed all the places he passed, and as a result, he rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and was killed by the Manchu Qing.

For a rotten person like Liu Zeqing, who has no lower limit, Zhu Cihong plans to treat him as a model to deter Liu Liangzuo and Zuo Liangyu and other Ming army units in the south.

In less than an hour, under the guidance of Long Xiang's night retreat, Huang De's power of five thousand iron cavalry had already found Yao Wenchang's department.

The 5,000 cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion divided their troops into two ways, outflanked them from the left and right sides, brandished their sabers, and constantly attacked the Qingzhou soldiers from both wings.

"Damn! Where did so many cavalry come from! ”

Yao Wenchang and other Qingzhou soldiers were frightened by this sudden situation, where did they dare to fight, they threw their guns and spears, threw their armor and abandoned their armor, and rushed to flee for their lives, for fear that they would be one step slower.

The 5,000 cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion continued to attack back and forth against the fleeing Qingzhou soldiers, dividing and impacting again, only to kill corpses all over the field, and blood stained the earth.
