Chapter 695: Expulsion of the Tartars (7)

"Report, report from the direction of Nanyang, the puppet Han Governor Mu Jingnan led an army of 100,000 towards my Kaifeng."

In the palace of the king of Zhou occupied by Azig, a burst of laughter suddenly burst into the sky.

"Hahaha, Lao Tzu hasn't gone to find trouble with Hangou, but they have come to the door by themselves, okay, good, good."

A sinister smile squeezed out of Azig's face, and he got up and directly copied the waist knife next to the table.

"Let's go, let's go to the camp now."

Kaifeng City has now become a large barracks, and after experiencing the ravages of Li Zicheng and the Qing army, the originally prosperous Kaifeng City has become lifeless.

The soldiers and horses sent by Dorgon to support the Central Plains have been stationed in Kaifeng for a long time, and they have long been a little impatient.

The villages near Kaifeng City have also been harmed, and the little lady should have played, so it's time to move the nest.

If you want to say that you are still at ease in the Qing Dynasty, although you can also loot everywhere in the Ming Dynasty in the past, you have to be more restrained after all.

It's like now, as long as the Manchurian masters are filial piety, and the silver lady is sent to the throne, the Manchurian adults will not care about these little things.

As soon as he heard that Azig had sent someone to give the order, all the green battalion soldiers in Kaifeng City were full of interest.

At the beginning, in order not to startle the snake, Azig led the soldiers and horses to Kaifeng, and several attacks on Luoyang and Nanyang were deliberately repelled by the Han army.

This time, Duoduo was killed in Chizhou, and all those who fled to Jiangbei were defeated remnants of the rear army, and little information was known about the front.

By the time it reached Azig's ears, it had already become a demon method that the Han army had used without knowing what kind of demon magic it had used, and had recruited many demons and monsters from heaven and earth.

The demon and the monster raised his hand and destroyed the specially built camp of Duoduo, and trampled tens of thousands of troops in front of him into meat sauce with a single move.

For such information, Azig scoffed.

Although the Manchus were still at the point of shamanism, such superficial rumors could hardly move a murderous thief chief like him.

However, he was also a person who suffered a big loss under the Han army, and knew that the Han army was fierce in firearms, so he had thought of a lot of ways when he was stationed in Kaifeng before.

Seeing that the 20,000 Han troops in Luoyang were still holding the Tiger Prison Pass and refused to come out, Azig ordered 270,000 horses and horses to kill directly in Yuzhou.

Some time ago, the Han army mainly relied on Yuzhou to keep the Qing army out, and this time the Han army was willing to take the initiative to come out, and Azig couldn't ask for it.

However, the Han army's marching speed was one step faster than Azig's.

Under the city of Xuzhou, seeing that the white flag was directly displayed on the state city that had become dilapidated, Mu Jingnan couldn't help but wave his hand to signal his subordinates to take over the city defense.

Many prefectures and counties in Henan have lost even their commanders, so they often surrender without a fight.

It is conceivable how much advantage the Qing army took advantage of entering the customs all the way, and did not even encounter a single regular resistance along the way.

"The army is camped outside the city, there is no need to defend the state city, the army camp is bounded by Yingshui to the west, and cannot go beyond the Qingyi River to the east."

After carefully inspecting the terrain near Xuzhou, Mu Jingnan directly gave an order.

Wei Jingguo stood at the head of Xuzhou City and looked down, and suddenly said with a smile:

"It seems that you are planning to use these rivers near Xuzhou to cut the Qing army apart? Does it work? ”

"Yo, Brother Jing Guo's art of war has been getting better recently, hahaha."

Mu Jingnan immediately teased.

He has a deep brotherly relationship with Wei Jingguo, and he has been a partner for many years, so naturally he doesn't need to mind being polite.

Wei Jingguo really kicked out and scolded with a smile: "Damn, the Wujinshi graduation certificate in my pocket was also personally signed by the second brother, isn't it a problem?" ”

"Hahaha"

The surrounding group of soldiers all burst into laughter.

The two brothers fought for a while, and then stopped.

Mu Jingnan pointed to the Xiaohong River, Laoyi River and other rivers in the east of Xuzhou and said with a smile:

"You see, there are many rivers near Xuzhou, and the Qing army thief chief Azig has 270,000 horses, we occupy the west side, they must camp in the east, if Azig feels that the battlefield is not good for the Qing army, it doesn't matter."

"The king has already broken through Jiangnan, and it is estimated that he will be able to clean up the state capital in Jiangnan in more than a month, and then he will take 200,000 troops all the way north, and Azig will be finished sooner or later, so now he is more anxious than us, and they will definitely be fooled."

Mu Jingnan is already a smart-minded character in the Liu family system, but he was hidden by Liu Ximing for a period of time because of his personality.

After going through so many trials, the light on Mu Jingnan's body finally had a chance to shine.

Five days later, Azig's forward army of 50,000 finally touched the edge of Xuzhou.

"To fight or not?"

In the middle of the Han army, all the generals were eager to try.

Mu Jingnan shook his head indifferently.

"The army does not succeed in a momentary way, you remember, the most important thing in this battle is to complete the strategic objectives set by the king, and a small tactical victory does not matter to the overall situation at all."

Mu Jingnan glanced around at the generals, "What is the king's strategic goal, is to wrap all the Qing troops in the Central Plains into dumplings, and we can't give them the opportunity to harm the people in other places." ”

"As long as our army can quickly clear the Qing army in Jiangnan and the Central Plains, then the Jianlu of Beizhili can only retreat in the face of Li Jingsi's attack, and then it will be in the middle of it. Passing my order, except for the scout troops, the rest of the departments will not move. ”

Wei Jingguo and the others didn't know the strategic deployment of the army, but they were just carried away by the fat in front of them.

Hearing Mu Jingnan's special advice, all the generals clasped their fists together, "Obey the military order." ”

On the vast Henan Plain, the contact between the Qing army and the Han army scouts suddenly became violent.

"Bang"

One shot knocked down a Tartar scout two hundred paces away, and Gu Hong, the head of the Han army scout, put away his cavalry gun with a pretended face, and did not forget to blow it on the muzzle of the gun at the end.

In front of him, a dozen panicked Jianyu scouts frantically beat their horses and fled in all directions.

"It's so boring, these Jianyu are very fierce, what is invincible, but now we can only chase and fight, it's really boring."

"Chief, if you're bored, why don't you try fighting the Tartars without a musket?"

Gu Hong's subordinates, Deputy Tun Chief Lu Yang immediately smiled.

"you, you kid is coveting my position as the head of the tun. The king has said that our Chinese people are playing with civilization and crushing, who the hell is going to compete with the barbarians, isn't this lowering their identity. ”

"Hahaha"

The thirty scouts led by Gu Hong burst into laughter.

In the two days since the forward army of Azig arrived outside Xuzhou City, the scouts led by Gu Hong had already killed seven or eight waves of Qing army scouts, and one hundred and fifteen of them had died at their hands.

Therefore, when it comes to the Qing army, everyone is full of contempt.

While talking and laughing, Lu Yang pulled Gu Hong's sleeve.

"Chief, look, is it the Tartars' brigade over there?"

Lu Yang stood up on his horse and saw that smoke and dust were billowing in the northeast, and it was obvious that a large group of soldiers and horses were approaching.

"Let's go and have a look."

Gu Hongyi was bold, relying on himself and waiting for the fast gunner, and as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, he killed the team in the distance.

In the Qing army, I didn't expect the Han army to dare to approach and reconnoiter in the face of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses.

"Go and slaughter them for Lao Tzu."

Hundreds of elite Qing soldiers suddenly roared out from the left flank and went straight to Gu Hong and the others.

"Tun Chief, the Tartars are coming up, let's withdraw quickly."

When Lu Yang saw that the Qing soldiers were overwhelming, he hurriedly exclaimed loudly.

Gu Hong smashed the butt of a rifle on his back, "What is the noise, how can our Han army ever be afraid of the enemy, listen to my orders, or fly kites, if the Jianyu outflanks us, we will leave." ”

This place was only a few miles away from his own camp, and Gu Hong's confidence in his heart increased greatly.

A strange scene appeared on the battlefield in Xuzhou.

Nearly 500 Qing cavalry charged the 30-strong Han scouts, but the Han scouts dared to hold their guns and immediately did not retreat.

"Aim"

The Han army scouts are equipped with a variety of weapons, because they are the eyes of the whole army, so the people in the car driving department are vigorously ensuring the supply of equipment for the scouts.

Often they give what they want.

In addition to a cavalry revolver in Gu Hong's hand, there was also a dragon champ with a high magnification mirror.

In the army, it is called the Thousand Miles Dog Stick.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Qing army had reached a distance of three hundred paces, Gu Hong held his breath and pressed his right cheek against the butt of the gun in his hand.

In the scope, the figure of a Qing army Niu Lu was becoming clearer and clearer, and the war horse under Gu Hong seemed to have felt the master's movements, and became motionless and clubbed in place.

"Bang"

The cavalry of the Qing army heard a gunshot from a long distance, and before they could react, the Niu Lu Zhangjing Sukeha, who was in charge of leading the team, suddenly fell in response.

A bloody hole appeared in Sukha's chest, and she flipped her head backwards from her horse.

"Cow Record"

A burst of exclamations erupted in the Qing army.

"Kill, rush forward, Lao Tzu won't believe it, we can't kill dozens of Han dogs with five hundred people!"
