The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the sound of rumbling sounded. Hundreds of Bayala personal soldiers just walked in front of the general of the Great Qing Dynasty, Prince Yu Duoduo.

Behind them, countless white, yellow, red, and green banners rolled up, followed by endless cavalry and foot soldiers. The main force of the Qing army in Shandong has now left the big camp outside Qufu City.

Behind Duoduo, in addition to the white flag, the yellow flag, the red flag and the elite generals with red flags, there are also green battalion soldiers led by Wu Weihua, Xu Dingguo, and Liu Liangzuo. The main force of the Qing Dynasty in Shandong, except for a small part of Yanzhou, Dezhou, Linqing Prefecture and other places, was already under the command of Duoduo. There are more than 35,000 foot cavalry, and the military funds have been looted four times, which is enough to support more than a month - for this thing, Duoduo has robbed all three places in Yutai, Pei County, and Feng County!

Every soldier of the Qing army had a gloomy face at this time, except for the sound of horses' hooves and the footsteps of foot soldiers, there was almost no other sound, and the entire army seemed solemn and depressed. This battle into Koushan was much more difficult than the Qing army's sweep of Shandong in the fourth and fifth entrance battles...... the "leeks" not only ran fast, but also built Qufu into a golden soup city! What's even more hateful is that the spirit of Sage Kong in the sky is also in trouble with the Great Qing Kingdom, and the southern soldiers who blessed Qufu are "invulnerable", so that the Qing Heavenly Soldiers have suffered a lot of losses!

Up and down the Qing army, there are already many people who hate the Kong family in Qufu so much that their teeth itch - can such a Confucian saint who doesn't know what to do still want it? You have to dig him out of the ground to get rid of his hatred!

However, they don't have the time to fight Qufu anymore, because their back road has been "cut off" by a regimental training army from Jinan!

When Prince Yu led the army to leave the Qufu camp, he said that the upcoming battle had already been a backwater, and if it was defeated, the Qing Dynasty still had something to do in Shandong. If it fails, then not only will the Qing Dynasty not be able to take Shandong, but their 35,000 Qing Heavenly Soldiers will not have a good end - the Qing Dynasty soldiers have ravaged Shandong twice, killing two or three million Shandong people, and they have a deep blood feud with Shandong...... If it falls into the hands of Shandong people, can it still be good? Don't let people pick their skin and cramp when the time comes!

was frightened by Duoduo like this, tens of thousands of Eight Banners and traitors, and everyone became nervous. It is clear that a group of robbers who killed people and set fires now have a little meaning of mourning.

Duoduo's face was also dead and heavy these days, which made the Bayala soldiers who were guarding him feel the pressure they had never felt before.

This invincible prince won't just fold in Shandong, right?

In front of the team, there were constantly reports of horses and horses, informing Duoduo of the situation ahead and the number of positions of the Ming army.

"Lord Wang, more than 5,000 people in the whole army of Gushan Ezhengang Atai have set up camp in Huakou Town on the north bank of the Daqing River to wait for the prince!"

"Lord Wang, the middle route army of the Southern Barbarians has retreated into Pingyin County, and is digging trenches and fortifications to strengthen the city defense!"

Hearing the return, Duoduo just smiled: "Is the middle route army of the Southern Army the soldiers of the Lu Palace?" That's too small, isn't it? ”

A white flag beside him, Jia Lazhen, recklessly interjected: "Lord, let's just hit their middle lane nearby, and eat this army of soldiers and horses in the Lu Palace's Southern Dynasty first!" ”

Duoduo glanced at him lightly and smiled, "Can you eat it in one bite?" If you can't eat it, Gao Hongtu is from the north, Shi Kefa is from the south, Zuo Maodi is from the east, and the three roads are coming, wouldn't it be more passive? We have already lost our morale in Qufu, and the military resources are not large, so we can no longer act rashly, if we do not win again, the battle of Shandong will not be able to continue. ”

Duoduo looked relaxed and confident, but everyone below was a little depressed. The military resources of the army are only enough for one month, and the advantage is to fight quickly, and the Ming army is advancing step by step, playing the fortress to advance, and it is clear that it will last.

Looking at the expressions of the generals of the Eight Banners around him, Duoduo smiled and said: "It is impossible for the southern army in the middle route to be led by King Lu, and the vassal kings of the Southern Dynasty have not led troops for more than two hundred years...... This time, the most common one was a general soldier. And they didn't have much courage, and before we got close, they ran to Pingyin. If you are scared again, you may run to Tarzan.

Therefore, Gao Hongtu's department on the northern road is the big fish, as long as he is trapped, he will not worry that the rest of the southern armies in Shandong will not come to relieve the siege. When the siege army comes to help, it will be broken one by one! Aren't we fighting Qufu just to besiege the city and send reinforcements? It's just that I didn't expect Qufu to be so difficult to surround. Isn't the Gao Hongtu Department of the North Road doing it step by step?

This king did not expect that he would run away with the southern army in Liaocheng...... He must still be using the fortress to force this king out of Shandong! ”

Duoduo's words were a reassurance to the generals under his command, and He Luo would say loudly: "Lord Wang, your subordinates please take the lead, and the warriors with the positive yellow flag will beat him first!" ”

"Not necessarily." Duoduo shook his head, "This king wants to show his authority with great fanfare. Maybe Gao Hongtu will run away in fear...... We don't often encounter such things! ”

To be honest, the Ming army who is not afraid of the Eight Banners in the wild, Duoduo really hasn't seen it much! If you can scare Gao Hongtu away, the battle of Shandong will be easy!

......

The news of the approaching Qing army brigade did not scare Gao Hongtu away! Although the two generals, Li Chengdong and Ma Degong, were already frightened, after getting the news, they put forward two proposals: retiring the troops and stationing in Liaocheng.

However, Gao Hongtu was not so nervous, and just ordered the troops to step up the construction of fortifications.

He had 22,000 regiments training and a total of 6,000 troops from Li Chengdong and Ma Degong. There are more than 10,000 people in Liaocheng City nearby. There are more than 38,000 people in the three armies! And the military resources are sufficient, the morale is high, and the city and the car fort can be relied on, what is there to fear?

Therefore, starting yesterday evening, Gao Hongtu's army built a fortress on the south bank of the Tuhe River. First circled out the car formation, then dug a trench outside the car formation, and finally piled sandbags inside the car formation to strengthen the defense, and even the side near the Tuhe River was built with sandbags to build a breast wall. The more than 20,000 "migrant workers" were indeed hard-working and worked until the second half of the night to complete the work.

It was early in the morning, and it was still quiet on the banks of the Tuhe River, and no one seemed to know that a big battle was imminent.

I didn't know that the big war was imminent, because there was a report that I didn't receive it last night, saying that the Qing army was found on its way to the west bank of the canal through a pontoon bridge...... This is obviously leaving Shandong!

The generals of the Ming army, who were originally worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to take it lightly, and the sentry scouts who should be added were still added. All the warriors slept in their clothes, and their weapons were placed in easy reach. The gongrong cannons placed in the car formation are also filled with lead gunpowder, which can be fired at any time to kill the enemy!

Zhang Mingzhen, the deputy general of the Shandong regiment and a minister from Nanjing, was on duty tonight, and he didn't sleep all night, but just went around on patrol.

Although he was recommended by Qian Qianyi to Gao Hongtu's subordinates, after all, he was "from a bad background", he was born in Nanjing, and he also had a case record of encroaching on Juntun. If you don't work hard, you really haven't turned over!

So on Gao Hongtu's side, he worked very hard and didn't dare to slack off, especially tonight.

However, Li Chengdong and Ma Degong were not as hard as him, and they refused to send more than they did not collect overnight, and even if they were sent out, they were just wandering around the camp and refused to go far at all - Zhang Mingzhen even suspected that the news that the Qing army had crossed the river to the west was simply false news that fooled people......

At this time, the sky in the distance finally began to brighten, and the difficult night was over! As long as the next day is mixed, this big camp on the edge of the Tuhe River will be solid, and I dare not say that it will be invincible, but it will not be a big problem.

But at this moment, Zhang Mingzhen suddenly felt that the ground began to shake! Is it because I'm too tired? Confused? He hurriedly snatched a lantern from the hand of a soldier beside him and illuminated the ground under his feet, but he saw the stones and sand under his feet, and he was really trembling slightly......
