Hanzhuang, Huang Dewei led 140,000 reinforcements to this place, and it was still more than 40 miles away from Xuecheng.

Zheng Sen suddenly rode a war horse to Huang Degong.

"What is the matter with General Zheng?" Huang Degong asked.

Zheng Sen groaned slightly and said, "Commander Huang, I think the situation on the Xuecheng side should have reached a very critical time, and our marching speed is too slow, I have a suggestion, and I hope Commander Huang can adopt it." ”

Huang Degong thought so, nodded and said, "General Zheng Xiao will talk about it." ”

"Isn't there more than 10,000 war horses in the army, I hope that Commander Huang can come forward to gather and hand them over to me, and I am willing to personally lead the Quanzhou army under my command to go to Xuecheng to support first!" Zheng Sen looked solemn, not joking.

When the reinforcements first left Xuzhou, they were harassed by the army led by Tuoyue and delayed for a long time, and some people were also killed and wounded. On the other hand, Tuoyue's Qing army faced the Ming Dynasty's 40,000 Yinglong army and 100,000 troops, although it was only an attack, but Tuoyue's Qing army also had more than 8,000 casualties, and therefore left more than 6,000 horses to be captured.

These more than 6,000 war horses, plus nearly 2,000 horses from the whole Quanzhou army, as well as the horses of some other generals and their own soldiers, really want to gather them all, there are nearly 15,000 war horses, but it is a little difficult to get those generals to hand over willingly, and Huang Degong must personally go out to do it.

Huang Degong is not only the commander of the Third Army of the Yinglong Army, but also has a knighthood and is deeply trusted by the emperor, and has experienced a hundred battles, and has a high prestige, as long as Huang Degong is willing to make some promises, those generals will hand over even if they are reluctant, and most of them will be handed over at worst.

"I'm afraid I can't do it, and I can't let you go." Huang Degong frowned and groaned, shook his head for a moment and said.

"You must know that there are only more than 10,000 war horses at most, but the Qing army has tens of thousands of iron horses, they don't know where to watch, once they meet halfway, more than 10,000 people will never be able to defeat tens of thousands of Qing troops, there is a danger of annihilation, you" Huang Degong said this, smiled, glanced at Zheng Sen meaningfully, and did not continue.

Needless to say, it's not that Huang Degong looks down on Zheng Sen, in fact, Huang Degong is quite satisfied with Zheng Sen's performance along the way, but Zheng Sen is the eldest son of the Zheng family in Quanzhou, the overlord of the South Seas, and the son of Zheng Zhilong Annanbo, once Zheng Sen has any accidents, the stakes are very high, and Huang Degong can't let him take risks easily.

Zheng Sen shook his head, and said with a solemn face: "Commander Huang, the army withdrawn from the Jining army and the army in the past of Lanling add up to more than 100,000, there is no doubt that they must have been surrounded by the Qing army at this moment, the reason why the emperor sent us to the rescue is because the Ming Dynasty simply can't bear the situation that the hundreds of thousands of troops are wiped out, the military situation is urgent, we have more hope of rescue when we arrive early, my Zheng family is also a member of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Sen is not afraid of death, even if there is really a day of death in battle, he is also loyal to the emperor, It is Zheng Sen's honor! ”

"Besides, since we crossed the river and destroyed the bridge, the scouts have not seen any trace of the Qing army's iron cavalry, I think they must have gone to Xuecheng first, it is impossible to intercept it halfway, even if it is intercepted halfway, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, it is not a problem to support it for an hour or two, and when the main army arrives, there is no need to worry about this. The combat power of the Quanzhou army is only under the Ying Long army, but the Ying Long army is not suitable for cavalry charge, the whole army is only our Quanzhou army is the most suitable, everything is for the Ming Dynasty, in order to complete the task assigned by the emperor, successfully rescued the besieged hundreds of thousands of troops, and please don't hesitate to Commander Huang! ”

Zheng Sen said very sincerely, it can be seen that he is firm in his heart, under the teaching of Qian Qianyi, Zheng Sen is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor in his heart.

Huang Degong stared at Zheng Sen for a while, he knew that what Zheng Sen said was the truth, and if he really wanted to send a large army to support first, the Quanzhou army was indeed the most suitable.

"Well, just by your words, everything is for Da Ming! I agreed! Huang Degong didn't hesitate and said in a deep voice.

Immediately, Huang Degong ordered all the armies to concentrate all the war horses, and promised that these war horses were only temporarily borrowed, and he Huang Degong promised with his own reputation that he would return the horses or the same amount of silver afterwards.

With Huang Degong's guarantee, although some generals were unwilling, they still did not wipe Huang Degong's face, although they could not really concentrate all the war horses, but they also concentrated most of them, a total of more than 13,000 war horses, Huang Degong handed over all these war horses to Zheng Sen!

Zheng Sen ordered more than 13,000 soldiers of the Quanzhou Army under his command, each with a war horse, and rushed to Xuecheng to support first.

"What a hero!" Next to Huang Degong, Zhou Cao, commander of the Second Army, sighed.

"Yes, this kid has a bright future ahead of him!" Huang Degong nodded approvingly.

The war horses galloped, Zheng Sen's command became more than 13,000 iron horsemen, under the personal leadership of Zheng Sen, they rushed to Xue Cheng non-stop, with the distance at this moment, they only needed an hour to reach Xue Cheng.

"Qinglu, with these war horses, the master will let you see the power of my Quanzhou army again!" Riding on the war horse galloping, Zheng Sen looked back at the iron cavalry behind him with a smile, realizing that the next big battle, Zheng Sen's heart was hot, and he couldn't help but boil the blood, three hours ago, if he could have so many cavalry, he would definitely be able to capture the Mongolian general.

Although more than 50,000 troops such as Xue Cheng, Yan Yingyuan and Ji Feng successfully retreated into Xue Cheng, the Qing army followed closely behind, and they had no time to close the city gate to block the Qing army.

Ji Feng's first army and Yan Yingyuan's fourth army were combined, and now there were still 20,000 horses left, which were divided into front and rear to resist the Qing army's flanking attack.

The battlefield gradually shifted to the city, and there were hand-to-hand encounters everywhere, and the guns of Ying Long's army were everywhere.

Relying on the houses and buildings in the city, greatly restricting the mobility of the Qing army's war horses, Ji Feng and Yan Yingyuan discussed, and ordered the army to rely on the houses and streets to resist, although the Qing army was outnumbered, but it was difficult to deploy for a while, and could not fully suppress the Ming army.

"The army is all attacking in the direction of the South Gate!" Ji Feng issued an order, hoping to repel the Tuoyue army in the south, attack the south gate, and rely on the south gate to resist, whether it is to continue to resist in the city, or to break through in the direction of Xuzhou out of the city.

Although there were 10,000 Ying Long troops to open the way for the horns, Tuoyue's 40,000 Qing army iron cavalry were not vegetarians, and although the houses and other buildings in the city restricted the mobility of war horses, they also limited the range of Ying Long's flintlock guns.
