Dolgon's repeated delays finally angered the Ming army, and Zhou Yuji ordered the army to advance to the Beiyang River to confront the Qing army across the river, and shelled the Qing army's camp and the riverbank defense line with artillery, causing them heavy losses.

The power of the tiger squat cannon is not too great, but it wins by quantity, hundreds of shells pour down, the middle leg breaks bones and brains are smeared on the ground, Dolgon's proud archer position has no power to fight back at all, and in a blink of an eye it was smashed into a pile of mud, and the Qing army fled in all directions, and even Dolgon and other generals were far away from the angry eyes and wrists but there was nothing to do, so they had to scold and curse endlessly.

On the other hand, the tens of thousands of Ming army battle lines on the opposite bank stretched for ten miles from east to west and watched the fire across the river, and saw the embarrassed appearance of the Qing army on the other side, pointing fingers and laughing, as lively as watching juggling on an overpass.

"The miracle army of the Shenji Battalion has become more and more refreshing after several battles, and it will be emulated by all departments in the future" Zhou Yuji stroked his beard and looked at Wu Weiying next to him: "Hou Ye's command has become more and more handy recently!" ”

Wu Weiying smiled and arched her hand to Zhou Yuji: "With your guidance and support, there will be some progress" This is very modest, and the posture is very low.

Zhou Yuji hurriedly said: "Master Hou, don't say that, we don't dare to say anything about it."

"Mr. Zhou is also too modest, you and Mr. Huang have made great achievements on the battlefield for more than ten years, if you say that you are not qualified, then there will be no one else in the Ming Dynasty," Wu Weiying praised vigorously.

As soon as he said this, Zhou Yuji was even more embarrassed: "Although the last general has led the troops for more than ten years and participated in hundreds of battles, and he is unwilling to be left behind in terms of battlefield experience, but when it comes to fighting and arranging, he is far less flexible and mobile than the little overseer, and the last general is also learning from him......"

Well, Wu Weiying was stunned and hurriedly said: "This is not true, the little overseer is brilliant with soldiers, and there are few people in the army who are good at scheming and tricking, but the marching army is not just resourceful and resourceful, the situation on the battlefield is changing, which requires experienced generals to quickly make responses anytime and anywhere, if this little overseer is not as good as Zhou Zongbing and Huang Zongbing!" ”

"Hou Ye praised it falsely" Zhou Yuji already looked at Wu Weiying differently in his heart, this old brand of plaster that everyone looked down on from the bottom of his heart in the past, actually had some goods in his stomach.

While the two were gossiping, the shelling of the Shenji battalion had come to an end, and there was almost no one on the position of the Qing army on the other side, and the Qing army camp was a little far away from the range of the field artillery, and at most it could only hit the edge and occasionally fall into the battalion, and a few shells had a limited impact on it.

Zhou Yuji ordered the artillery to stop, removed the artillery of the Shenji battalion, and ordered the cavalry to advance more than 100 meters to the riverbank to find the target and release arrows.

And not long after, Chang Yu's military order came: advance the oppression of feasible skirmishes, Shen Shi Tartar did not send people to surrender, and the army crossed the river! There was no mention of how to reply to Dorgon.

Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong looked at each other and smiled, and sure enough, the little eunuch would definitely fight after reading Dolgon's letter, but he was also very cautious, only letting the army advance to put pressure on Dolgon, allowing a small-scale war, and this was exactly the warm-up exercise that Zhou Yuji had just done.

The military order of the little eunuch seems to be prosaic, and even the generals guessed it first, but the subsequent intention is beyond their guessing, it can be described as murderous!

Didn't Dolgon always want to grasp the initiative to negotiate peace in his hands, okay, the initiative is given to you, let you take the initiative to put forward conditions, let you take the initiative to talk to me, and Chang Yu never replied positively to his conditions, that is, send troops, advance, and then advance, and then start a small-scale fight!

This is where its insidiousness lies, it seems that Dolgon has taken the initiative, but in fact, he has been led by the nose, forcing him to lower his body and come over to talk sincerely!

And again a time limit was given, and if there was no reply at 3 p.m., a full-scale offensive would be launched.

A round of artillery fire of the Ming army directly destroyed the defense line in front of the Qing army's camp, which made Dolgon angry, and after the shelling stopped, the Ming cavalry on the opposite bank fired arrows around the river to kill the Qing army, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, Dolgon immediately ordered a counterattack, the Qing army and the Ming army across the river to shoot, for a time the arrows came and went suddenly dead and wounded!

"Minggou shells and does not attack, what is this to do?" Comkler muttered in a low voice, which was heard by Dodor and roared: "What can we do, wait for us to make a statement, otherwise the Ming Dog will attack before dark!" ”

"Statement, is it difficult to really let us admit their conditions" Shang Kexi's face was pale: "If you really force this gray out of the customs, it is better to kill him and go to relieve his anger!" ”

Dolgon raised his head and swept the generals around him: "Now that it has been decided, don't be rash anymore, our current method is to talk while dragging and even fighting to buy time for the baggage ahead, once the Ming court forces on the Gyeonggi side are empty and can't catch up, no one in front of you is afraid of him, and if you fight with him again, you can leave!" ”

"But now the dog is so tight, I'm afraid it won't be long enough" Duoduo sighed, frowned suddenly, and saw a soldier rushing with a letter in his hand, Dolgon took it and opened it, with six big characters written on it: Shen Shi, pass without waiting!

It's too much! Dolgo gritted his teeth and crumpled the letter in his hand and threw it out, the faces of the generals were also extremely ugly, it was obvious that the Ming army had given an ultimatum to force them to express their stance before Shen Shi, otherwise they would start fighting!

"It's inevitable that there will be a fight today," Shang Kexi said and arched his hand: "The last general will ask for battle"

"No" At this time, Duoduo stood up and looked at Zhengnan with a cold face: "Brother Fourteen left 10,000 soldiers and horses with my palace, and you lead the main force first!" ”

"What are you going to do?" Dolgon's brow furrowed.

"The dog eunuch has been going to believe it and not come forward, except for the conditions, maybe the person who shows up on our side is not interested, if I go, maybe I can make him interested" Duoduo said calmly.

"Don't be in danger......" Dolgon just opened his mouth and was interrupted by Duoduo: "10,000 soldiers and horses resist the river and defend, even if they are not defeated, they can retreat with their whole body, and the fourteenth brother leads his troops to set up a second line of defense in front of me to meet me, and this is the best battlefield to give full play to the advantages of our Qing Dynasty iron cavalry, but at this time, the Ming army's soldiers and horses have high morale and artillery blessings, and we are afraid that we can't stop it under the flat push, but it is better to set up a barrier in the Yellow River to block it, at least it can be blocked for three or five days."

Duoduo is worthy of being the first general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty who is brave and strategic, and he came up with a strategic plan in just a few words, and it was deeply recognized by the generals, that is, even Dolgon nodded again and again: "I'm afraid that the Yellow River moat can't stop the Ming army for a few days, and Kong Youde ...... before"

"Kong Youde has too many worries, and the enemy is careless before he is defeated with one blow, how can the main force of the fourteenth brother allow Minggou to cross the river easily, that is, Minggou has the blessing of artillery, and I don't believe that their shells are inexhaustible!" said with a sneer: "What's more, if I negotiate with that gelding dog here, I can delay him for a few days at the worst!" ”

racked their brains and forced for a few days, and finally at this critical moment, Dolgon and the others made the final response plan!

Just follow Duoduo's method: drag hard, if you can't drag it down, you will fight, anyway, it is impossible to leave things, to Azig, to Gyeonggi, if Ming Ting just doesn't let it go, there is no way, anyway, now he is a smoke bomb, used by Dolgon to divert Ming Ting's attention, at this time he just wants to lead his troops out of the customs safely, Azig's life and death are not so important.

Later, after Dolgon left Duoduo, Nikan, and Geng Zhongming to lead 10,000 troops, he led the main force to pull out the camp and left, and at the same time, the Ming army on the other side also retreated five miles, and made a fire to make food to rest the soldiers and horses.
