When Chang Yu led his troops into the mountain, Dolgon had just woken up in the Qing army camp in Beiyang River, and he had insomnia last night!

It has been more than a month since I entered the customs, and the initial purpose was very clear, that is, to plunder and make up for the losses of Ningyuan's first battle as political capital, but I didn't get home to nourish my qi and was still aroused by the little eunuch and wanted to break the Ming Emperor's capital, and I hit my head and broke the blood before I came to my senses and led my troops east to the south, but I didn't expect the Ming army to chase and kill all the way, which was unique in previous years, not to mention this, even in terms of gain, it was less than one-tenth of previous years.

The loss of the wind and dust will outweigh the losses, this is what Dolgon has always been worried about, and at this time, he can finally let go a little bit, the big chicken leg of Qingzhou Hengwangfu is at your fingertips in front of you, as long as you win it is comparable to breaking ten cities!

Thinking about it, I was excited, how much gold and silver treasures could be obtained in the Hengwang Mansion, and how much grain and grass could be obtained...... It's like buying a lottery ticket and fantasizing about how to spend it after winning, so Dolgon thinks about good things and doesn't sleep until dawn.

When he woke up, it was noon, the camp was noisy, and Dolgon got up and came out of the tent to look up at the sky, and the clouds were thick and cool.

Duoduo came and told him that the Ming army had gone to Linzi and camped outside the city, and asked Dolgon if he wanted to cross the river to Qingzhou City.

Kangkeller's uncle and nephew are both soft and hard, but the guards of Qingzhou City do not advance, they do not surrender, they do not communicate, they do not scold back, and if they fight, they will resist fiercely!

Dolgon originally planned to rest for two more days to let the soldiers slow down, but he was always worried that the night would be long and the dream would slow down his strength, and the Ming army would also slow down.

That being the case, it opened the eyes of Qingzhou City, so he ordered the soldiers and horses to cross the river to besiege Qingzhou City, rest for half a day, and ordered Kong Youde to deploy control around the perimeter in case of accidents.

Not long after the main force of the Qing army crossed the river to the south, Li Yan received the information and was slightly surprised, he and Chang Yu both guessed that the Qing army would take a break for at least two or three days, but they didn't expect to be in such a hurry.

It seems that either he is afraid of being like Huang Degong, afraid of long nights and dreams, or he is too hungry and thirsty!

Of course, it is not excluded that there are both.

The most anxious person who heard the news was Zhu Ci'an, looking at Li Yan's eyes full of pleading: "General Li, send troops!" ”

Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong also felt that they could be early.

But Li Yan shook his head and refused.

One of the pieces of information said that the main force of the Qing army crossed the river, but it did not pull out the camp, and the looted materials and people and animals were still in the camp, which responded to what Chang Yu said before that he was just going to Qingzhou to show his muscles, and he wanted to intimidate the defenders in the city not to attack.

Second, a strong attack required a large amount of baggage, and it was impossible for the Qing army to prepare in such a short period of time at this time.

As for the last point, the tired soldiers are too much to use! The Ming army is too tired to chase all the way, and now pulling over is just a target for others!

All the generals felt reasonable, but how could Zhu Ci'an have such psychological quality as them, who had acne on his face and who hurt, Qingzhou was his home, so he cried and begged Li Yan to send troops to save Qingzhou City.

If Chang Yu was in Shao, he would not have to give him a kick, but after all, it was Li Yan, the son of King Heng, who would dare to say that this product had been crying and begging, and he had no choice but to finally relax: "Then he will treat others in his own way!" ”

Didn't the Qing army cross the river to Qingzhou to show off their muscles, then the Ming army went to its camp to show off coquettishness, and it is hard to say who scares whom.

Li Yan did not hesitate to order Hao Yongzhong, and then Tu Yuan strongly asked to form a group, and half an hour later, the two of them raised 2,000 elite soldiers to go north to the rear camp of the Qing army in Beiyang River.

Sure enough, as soon as Hao Yongzhong and Tu Yuan's soldiers and horses came out, it didn't take long for Dolgon in the Qing army camp to scold after receiving the news, and the Ming army really couldn't stuff a grain of sand in their eyes, and they couldn't eat it cheaply.

Immediately ordered Kong Youde to send troops to intercept, and feared that something would go wrong and urgently transferred back 5,000 soldiers and horses who had crossed the river, Duoduo gritted his teeth even more, if he didn't want to make a branch at this moment, he really wanted to raise troops to kill Linzi City.

Although Li Yan's move could not prevent the main force of the Qing army from crossing the river to Qingzhou, it at least contained more than 10,000 of its troops, so that Dolgon did not dare to act rashly, let alone pour all his troops to besiege Qingzhou City.

Of course, if you can block it for a while, you can't stop tomorrow, but if you can stop it, the Ming army will have more time to recover its strength.

In fact, the two sides have fought no less than ten times from the capital, and although they can't say everything about their respective strengths and intentions, they are not far from ten.

Therefore, although Hao Yongzhong and Tu Yuan led their troops to find something aggressive, Kong Youde also came to stop him with murderous spirit, and it seemed that there was going to be a vicious battle to fight.

In fact, there was no fight at all, the two armies were facing each other several miles apart, and no one made a move, and they didn't want to! Because they all know each other's intentions.

And just let the other side know their intentions, there is no real point in fighting, and increasing casualties is something that both sides are unwilling to do, after all, at this time the troops are stretched to the point of being stretched.

Obviously, Li Yan has enough wisdom to deal with these emergencies, which is why Chang Yu values Li Yan very much, a fierce general is like a knife, and a military advisor is like an arm. Without Li Yan, he lacks skills and is tired of being a dog and inefficient in everything, while with Li Yan, he is like a tiger with wings and gets twice the result with half the effort.

The Qing army unexpectedly crossed the river suddenly, Chang Yu didn't know at all, at this time he had entered the mountain, from the north, the valley was still spacious, but several people side by side could ride horses.

Guo Ren led more than ten personal guards and two Orion guides to the front to open the way, followed by Chang Yu and Li Shiyuan, Li Muxian and several commanders of Lu Xing, and behind were three thousand infantry.

Traveling south along the valley, the mountains on both sides are not too steep, there are mountain streams on the side of the road, the entrance is clear, the trees are lush and the sky is very cool, although it is a march, it is like a mountain outing.

Orion gushed beside the little eunuch: the highest mountain in the east is called Mingzu Mountain, and there is a group of horse bandits about hundreds of people halfway up the mountain...... Don't look at the wide valley here, there is a sheep intestine trail for more than ten miles, and the ravine is intricate, if you accidentally walk in, you will get lost...... There is a prince mountain in the south for fifty or sixty miles, there is a village in the middle of the mountain, in fact, it is also a horse thief, there is a big ravine up and down, look east along the ravine and walk twenty or thirty miles to the west gate of Qingzhou City......

Chang Yu smacked his tongue secretly, the mountain road was rugged and winding, fifty miles down, but there were actually nearly a hundred miles, and the flat land marched for more than an hour, and you could walk in the mountains for a day!

Sure enough, after turning a few bends in the valley for more than ten miles, the mountain road in front of me became narrower, and the slopes on both sides were steep and overgrown with weeds and rocks, which could only accommodate two or three people in parallel.

He didn't dare to be careless, and told his guards to be clever and not to fall into the ambush, but the hunter looked relaxed: "There are no horse thieves around here, and there is only ......one place where the mountain road is steeper."

Whew, everyone was speechless.

After a few more miles, several valleys appeared in front of them, and Orion let him go to the westernmost one, saying that the rest were dead ends, and they were all cliffs and cliffs, and there was no way to go, and they had to go back.

At this time, it was almost evening, the sky was already gloomy, and the trees in the mountains were lush and gray, and the soldiers were slightly tired, and Orion said that not far ahead, the bend was slightly wider, and there was a mountain spring where you could rest for a while, Chang Yu responded.

Looking at the mountain running dead horses, the guide was stunned not far away, and the sky was already dark and cloudy for most of the hour, and finally arrived at the bend, the valley was cheerful, and there was really a mountain spring surrounded by boulders, and the soldiers sat on the spot to drink water and rest.

Chang Yu washed his face, suddenly felt very refreshed, looked up and looked around, there were lush mountains behind him, and asked the hunter: "Are there horse thieves entrenched in this area?" ”

Orion shook his head: "A few miles away, there are some villages in the mountains over there, and there are also cottages of horse thieves, but those horse thieves never disturb the people in the mountains......"

Seeing that Chang Yu sneered and asked again: "My lord, seeing that it is getting dark, do you want to camp here for the night, or do you want to travel overnight?" ”

"Camp? We're not here to enjoy the mountains and rivers......" Before Li Muxian's words fell, he was suddenly startled when he heard the sound of the police whistle, and the soldiers who were resting around him also rolled over and drew their knives to make a fighting posture.
