"Your Majesty, the Dongyu has already set camp! Your Majesty is really wise and powerful, and he has no last resort! ”

This time, Gao Jie is not patting on the back, but really admires Zhu Cihong.

"Oh? Gao Qing might have seen that Dongyu was going in that direction? ”

Zhu Cihong sat upright and bowed slightly.

"Your Majesty, Dongyu is heading to the east!"

Gao Jie only felt very excited, and his breathing became a little short.

"Just as His Majesty expected!"

Interesting!

Zhu Cihong said secretly in his heart.

In fact, he could not fully predict that Luckedhun would pull out his camp and march eastward.

It's all speculation.

Zhu Cihong ordered Gao Jie to send elite cavalry to rush out of the Qing army camp at night and set fire to create chaos, so as to take the opportunity to burn the grain and grass of the Qing army.

Even in such a predicament, Luckedhun had other options.

The reason why Zhu Cihong speculated that Lucke Dehun would march in the direction of Texas was from a psychological point of view.

Luckedhun was a Manchu nobleman with strong roots.

And the Manchu Qing Dynasty believed in the way that the strong were respected, and they earned military merits on horseback.

Although he is Baylor, he can't fail to abide by this rule.

In this case, Luckedhun would definitely not choose to withdraw his troops in disgrace, so that even if he returned to Beijing, he would definitely be severely reprimanded by Dolgon, and then stripped of the right to lead the army, becoming a complete idle aristocrat.

This is what Lucked Hun does not want to see in any case.

Therefore, he cannot retreat, he can only make meritorious deeds.

But how do you make meritorious deeds?

The grain and grass hoarded by the army under the command of Luckedhun were burned to the ground, and the rations on hand of the Huotou battalion were probably only a day or two, and even the killing of horses would not last long. There is no point in continuing to stay in Linqing.

And the Duoduo Division, the strongest of the three Qing armies, was attacking Texas.

At this time, of course, Luckedhun would want to go to Dordor.

Although his limelight will be completely overshadowed by Duoduo in this way, it is better than being accused of a hasty defeat, right?

In other words, it's better to sniff behind Dordor than to go it alone.

But then there is a problem.

The rations of the Qing army were not much, and even if they saved food, they would not last for a few days.

Lekdehun would certainly have given the order for a hasty march at full speed.

This is no problem, Han Baqi and Meng Baqi are basically one person, two horses or even three horses, and they can always keep hurrying when they change their horses.

But not with the Green Battalion.

Most of them were infantry, and few had horses, and even if they did, they rode alone.

And if you ride a mount for a long time, the horse is likely to die of exhaustion.

Not to mention the ordinary infantry who chased the Han Eight Banners and the Meng Eight Banners with two legs.

Therefore, when Luck Dehun ordered a rapid march towards Texas, it meant that this Qing army would be disconnected. The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Eight Banners of Mongolia will rush to the front, and the green battalion army will be dragged sparsely behind.

At this time, Luck Dehun has no energy to care about the life and death of the Green Battalion.

If Zhu Cihong can take the opportunity to swallow this part of the army, it will have a decisive impact on the entire battle situation.

It seems that the combat effectiveness of the Green Battalion Army is not strong, but they are the most numerous.

Most of the time, the green battalion soldiers were used by the Qing army for consumption, and when the green battalion soldiers charged for a round, the Han Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the Manchu Eight Banners would charge.

And if the Green Camp Army is gone, the Eight Banners of the Qing Army will have to go into battle in person, and there is no other choice.

Gao Jie once wiped out a large part of the Green Battalion Army during the Northern Expedition in Henan and Beizhili.

The part of the Green Battalion that Lectokhun is now commanding is actually a part of what Duoduo brought back from Shanxi.

If the Ming army wiped out this part of the green battalion soldiers, the green battalion army in the Qing army-ruled area would only be left in Shaanxi.

Zhu Cihong thought carefully for a while and then said aloud: "Spread the decree, order the cavalry to go out of the city to pursue the eastern captives, and behead the first level with a reward of fifty taels of silver, and the same is true for the head of the green battalion soldiers." Another person was sent to inform Qin Gongming, the general soldier of Texas, that Luck Dehun had marched to Texas. ”

Gao Jie was overjoyed when he heard this.

The Son of Heaven is really willing to spend the capital.

The reward for beheading the first class is fifty taels of silver, which can refer to the reward of beheading the real captive.

And His Majesty has now said that the beheading of the Green Battalion soldiers is also regarded as the beheading of the real captive, which will definitely stimulate the soldiers' desire to fight.

"Obey the order!"

Gao Jie clenched his fists with both hands and calmly accepted his life.

...

...

"Lord Belle, drink a drink of water and rest before marching."

Shi Tingzhu wiped the sweat on his forehead and said helplessly.

"Well, order the whole army to rest on the spot."

Luck said nonchalantly.

Since the march of the battalion to Texas, Luck Dehun has been like a panicked rabbit, desperately pumping his whip to drive away his mount for fear that the thief will suddenly emerge from nowhere.

Shi Tingzhu felt that this worry was unnecessary.

The thieves are now shrinking in the city, how dare they go out of the city to pursue?

How many pounds and taels do they have themselves, and don't they count them in their hearts?

Relying on the strong city and being able to defend it, going out of the city to fight in the field is to be slaughtered.

But apparently Luck Dehun was already frightened, and he didn't listen to Shi Tingzhu's dissuasion, and insisted on letting Han Baqi and Meng Baqi go first, and the Green Battalion soldiers followed.

At first, the Green Battalion barely kept up, but the longer the time, the greater the distance.

There's no way around it. One is the infantry and the other is the cavalry, if the cavalry is not equal, how can the infantry keep up.

The army under the command of Lekdehun was artificially divided into two sections.

That's it, since things are already like this, Shi Tingzhu doesn't want to say anything. Wait until the army and Prince Yu converge before making plans.

Lucked kicked off the horse, wiped his face with a sweat towel, removed the cowhide water bladder from his waist, unplugged it, and poured it into his mouth.

He was so thirsty that he drank a whole bladder of water before he stopped.

"How long will it take to get to Texas?"

Lucked wiped the corners of his mouth and asked casually.

"It's hard to say, if you hurry up, you can get there in two days."

"Two days!"

Lucketthun frowned and said, "It's too slow, is it the same for changing horses and riding on the march?" ”

Shi Tingzhu was speechless in his heart. This is already the speed of changing horses to ride, and if you don't change horses and run thirty miles, you have to rest.

"Yes, that's already the fastest speed."

"That's it, two days for two days. The order goes down and rests for half an hour and then sets off! ”

Lucked waved his hand impatiently.

At this moment, he suddenly rode a horse from a distance.

"Lord Belle, the thief is chasing after you!"

The rider galloped to the side of Luckard, and a skeleton flipped off his horse and shouted.

"What!"

Lucked subconsciously took a step back and said in surprise, "Are they crazy?" dared to go out of the city to pursue. ”

The rider was obviously dressed as a Green Battalion Army, and cried, "We are all infantry and can't outrun the thieves. Now that the thieves have surrounded us, the minions are desperate to fight their way out, and they ask Lord Belle to lead the army back to help! ”
