"Quick!"

After the Red Lady led the 110,000 troops to leave Taikang, she passed through Bozhou, all the way to the east, and rushed to Xuzhou non-stop.

The Battle of Xuzhou continued, and the Qing army used the Manchurian Eight Banners as a supervising team, forcing the Han Banner Army and the Mongols to continuously consume the strength of the besieged Ming army.

"Kill" The Qing army, the Han Banner Army and the Mongolian Iron Cavalry once again launched a fierce charge against the besieged Ming army.

The battle was fierce, with more than three or four thousand dead and wounded on both sides almost every hour.

At that time, after another fierce battle for most of the day, the Ming army suffered more than 30,000 casualties, and the besieged Ming army was left with less than 90,000 left.

The rain showed no signs of stopping, and the soldiers could only eat some cold, wet and soft coarse grains to feed their stomachs, which was extremely difficult.

Zhu Cihong braved the rain and routinely went to the forefront of the fierce battle to boost the morale of the remaining soldiers.

The Qing army suffered more casualties than the Ming army, and there were 50,000 dead and wounded in most of the day, but the Qing army still had 300,000 troops, which was more than three times the current Ming army, and the situation was very grim for Zhu Cihong!

"Humph! No matter how tenacious the Ming army is, it can hold out tonight at most, and it will collapse early tomorrow morning at the latest! Dolgon also came to the front line to observe, saw Zhu Cihong's figure from afar, and sneered.

According to the current situation, Dolgon has almost foreseen the victory of the Qing Dynasty and is full of confidence!

Although it was expected that the remaining Ming army must be exhausted at this moment, Dolgon was no longer in a hurry to use the Eight Banners to attack and fight quickly, and he could also consume the remaining Ming army by relying on the Han Banner Army and the remaining Mongols!

Unbeknownst to Dolgon, an unexpected variable was coming as the Red Lady army approached, which would eventually lead to the failure of his carefully planned decisive battle in Xuzhou!

Xiao County, southwest of Xuzhou, is only more than 40 miles away from Xuzhou.

An army of more than 100,000 men marched here.

"Qiyu Hongshuai, this is Xiao County, and there are still forty-five miles away from Xuzhou!" A female soldier in military uniform came to report to the red lady.

"Order the scouts to widen the scope of exploration, be careful and hidden, and don't let the Qing army know in advance that our army is coming!" The red lady ordered.

"Continue to speed up the march, be sure to reach Xuzhou before dark!"

The Red Lady led this army of 110,000 people to speed up the march, and the distance of forty-five miles could be reached in about two hours.

At this time, because it was getting closer and closer to Xuzhou, the army of the Red Lady had begun to be covered by rain, and after a while, the bodies of all the soldiers were drenched.

There were 6,000 cavalrymen in the army of the Red Lady, and the horse's hooves stepped through the mud on the road and marched all the way.

Nearly 20 miles northwest of Xuzhou is Zhengzhuang.

Chang Shunhou, the commander of Lingnan, gathered here with more than 10,000 remnants.

Last night, when the Qing army broke through Xuzhou, Chang Shunhou was not surrounded in Xuzhou City because he was always on the city wall of the West Gate.

Xuzhou originally had more than 300,000 troops before the Qing army entered the West Gate, and later the Qing army broke through the West Gate, in addition to the 200,000 troops such as the Ying Long Army and the emperor Zhu Cihong were surrounded in the center of Xuzhou City, there were more than 100,000 troops were defeated by the Qing army, and most of them were pursued and annihilated by the Qing army. Lingnan General Chang Shunhou not only successfully escaped from the pursuit of the Qing army, but also continued to gather more than 13,000 remnants here, although not much, but Chang Shunhou has been waiting for an opportunity to move, if used well, it can still play some unexpected role.

"Lord Qiqi General Soldier, there is still fierce fighting in Xuzhou City!" The scout sent to Xuzhou to inquire about the news came back and reported the news to Chang Shunhou.

"The Qing army has a large number of people, and the rain has been falling non-stop, which greatly limits the combat power of the Ying Long army, we can't wait any longer, we must attack immediately, even if we rescue the emperor, we must create some trouble for the Qing army." Chang Shunhou said after groaning slightly.

"What are you going to do?" A staff officer asked.

"Let's go and attack the Qing army camp!" Chang Shunhou thought about it, his eyes flashed sharply, and he made a decision.

"My lord, according to the news that came, all the Qing troops were attacking the emperor in Xuzhou City, and the Qing army camp was just an empty camp, and the sneak attack didn't seem to be able to play any role, right?" The general asked.

Chang Shunhou shook his head and said with a meaningful smile: "No, it doesn't necessarily have no effect, we only have more than 10,000 troops, except for the sneak attack on the empty Qing army camp, we really can't create any trouble for the Qing army, maybe there are some unexpected gains in the Qing army camp!" ”

Chang Shunhou since he became the chief soldier, has been exterminating mountain bandits in various parts of Lingnan, the most favorite to copy the mountain bandits' lair, there are always some unexpected gains, he is used to it, he intuitively thinks that the Qing army camp must not be just an empty camp.

"Hmph, Dolgon must not have imagined that we would dare to return to Xuzhou!" Chang Shunhou sneered, Dolgon really couldn't think of this, or he didn't care at all, because the Ming army that escaped from Xuzhou was just some ordinary Ming army in his eyes, and its combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Ying Long army, so he was not afraid!

"Let's go!" After making a good decision, Chang Shunhou immediately led the army back to Xuzhou.

Not only that, Chang Shunhou also let the last remaining 20 or so elite soldiers around him form a special scout team, which was specifically responsible for clearing the Qing army scouts along the way, and tried not to let the Qing army know the news that he led more than 10,000 troops back to Xuzhou.

Because almost all the Qing army besieged Zhu Cihong in Xuzhou City, coupled with the continuous heavy rain, the Qing army scouts were only scattered in Xuzhou within a radius of ten miles to guard, and were attacked by more than 20 elite soldiers after Chang Shun, when the news that the Qing army scouts brought Chang Shunhou back to Xuzhou with the army to Xuzhou spread to the Qing army camp in the north of Xuzhou, Chang Shunhou was only three miles away from the Qing army camp, and it was coming in an instant!

"The remnants of the Ming army have come back, go and report to the regent!" There were only a few thousand Qing troops stationed in the Qing army camp, and suddenly Qing soldiers entered Xuzhou from the north gate to inform Dolgon.

"What's going on?" In a big tent in the Qing army camp, Duoduo, who was pale, was woken up by some noises, endured the pain from the wound on his broken arm, got off the bed, and lifted the cloth bar of the military tent to look outside.

"The prince is auspicious!" When a Qing soldier saw Duoduo, he immediately saluted.

"What's going on?" Glancing at the rain outside the tent and the apparently somewhat disturbed camp, Dodor asked the soldier.

"Hui Wangye" didn't wait for the soldier to finish speaking, and suddenly there was a shout of killing outside the camp.

"Kill" Chang Shunhou led more than 13,000 remnants to attack the empty Qing army camp.

The steel knife in Chang Shunhou's hand slashed left and right, killing one Qing soldier after another, taking the lead, and killing towards the center of the Qing army camp, intending to destroy this empty Qing army camp.

"It's the remnants of the Ming army who have come back, the prince is leaving!" Several Qing soldiers escorted Duoduo in the rain and walked in the direction of Xuzhou.

Although the Qing army scouts conveyed the news that Chang Shunhou returned to Xuzhou with more than 10,000 remnants of the Ming army half a step in advance, it would take some time for Dolgon to send troops and horses from Xuzhou to rescue.

The less than 5,000 Qing troops were no match for Chang Shunhou's more than 13,000 troops, and one Qing army tent after another was destroyed.

The countless supplies left by the Qing army in the camp were ruined and destroyed.

"Huh? That must be a Manchurian official, brothers! "A thousand general with hundreds of subordinates to kill a place, at a glance saw in the distance by more than a dozen Qing soldiers covering the rain towards Xuzhou to escape Duoduo, judging from the robe worn by Duoduo, this Qian always thought that Duoduo must be a Manchurian official, immediately surprised.

"Kill!" Hundreds of soldiers, led by President Qian, pounced on Duoduo.

After chasing a distance of thousands of meters, he finally caught up with Duoduo.

"Tartar dog thief, where to run, take your life!"

"Run, Lord Wang! Stop the Ming army! A Qing soldier pushed Duoduo and led a dozen Qing soldiers to turn around and fight fiercely with hundreds of Ming troops, intending to buy Duoduo time to escape.

"Haha, it's actually a full-man prince!" This Qian Zong is so excited that he is dreaming, the prince of Manchurian, if he dies in his hands, what a great credit this will be, this is just like pie in the sky, how is it not exciting!

"Kill!"

Facing more than ten times the Ming army, more than a dozen Qing soldiers around Duoduo were quickly killed.

"Tartar dog thief, take your life!" This Qian general manager is desperate to catch up with Duoduo.

Although Duoduo originally had good martial arts, he lost his right arm at this time and was seriously injured, where could he stop this Ming army Qianzong who was determined to kill him.

However, in just a few moves, Duoduo's head was slashed by this Qianzong with a knife, and Duoduo's eyes widened and he couldn't blink a blind eye.

Such a simple and rude scene, just like that, a generation of famous generals of the Qing army, the prince of Yu of the Qing Dynasty Duoduo, who had a great record, died in the hands of a nobody in the Ming army, which was extremely miserable!
