The Qing army and the Liukou crossed the Yellow River and came all over the mountains, with two or three hundred thousand men and horses, and they were arrogant.

The Ming army, which had already been informed, had already organized a defensive line, and the commander-in-chief was Liu Zhilun, a cabinet minister who temporarily served as the governor of the five provinces, and the chief eunuch of the supervising army was of course Fang Zhenghua.

The two of them have always been partners, and this time they both volunteered to lead the troops out of the capital division and go to Weihui Mansion to strengthen their defenses.

Liu Zhilun's standard camp has 5,000 descendants, and the main generals are absolutely trustworthy henchmen generals Wu Yinglong, Liu Quan, and Liu He.

This elite is equipped with 200 vehicle-mounted three-barreled guns presented by the "Red Banner Army", plus the original 300 vehicle-mounted guns, the firepower is terrifying, and the aggressiveness should not be underestimated!

Gao Yingxiang is not an ordinary person, and he is also accustomed to using it, and he has been transmitting intelligence to Shaanxi in the past few months to report on the secret stakes in the land of Gyeonggi.

Thousands of troops crossing the Yellow River by boat may be attacked by the official army, but two or three spies disguised as merchants or peasants can easily cross the river on sheepskin rafts.

After the Yellow River freezes, there are countless times and places where the river can be crossed, and of course it is impossible to prevent it.

Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other big leaders all knew that the main force of the Beijing camp of the Ming Dynasty was strictly guarding the north of the Yellow River, and they also reported that there was a large area under the actual control of the "Red Flag Army" in Weihui Mansion.

If you go north along the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, you will have to fight with the "Red Devils", give up walking on the plains, and pass through the mountains, and the mobility of the Manchurian cavalry and the old cavalry will be greatly reduced.

In fact, even if the Red Gangsters did not take care of it, Fan Wencheng, who had suffered a big loss in the joint operation of the Ming Jingying and the "Red Banner Army" on the way to retreat, would not take it lightly.

Although it was difficult for the spies to convey the news, they were able to report the situation in Gyeonggi with a relatively accurate record.

Fan Wencheng knew that the "Red Flag Army" had been involved in the land of Gyeonggi for many years and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so he rashly went north to kill under the city of Jingshi again, and if he didn't do it, he would be cut off and his way back.

He informed Zilharang and Azig of the possible risks, and the three agreed to let the Liukou lead the battle, with the Qing army assisting as a mobile force.

The Liukou were so impressed by the "Red Banner Army" that they were not even willing to fight a vicious battle with the villagers trained by the "Red Banner Army".

Gao Yingxiang led 200,000 horses to cross the Yellow River, but it was actually a false shot, the purpose was to let the Ming army see that they had the possibility of directly attacking the Beijing division, and fully mobilize the main force of the Ming army to defend the Beijing division.

After the Liukou army hit more than a dozen county towns to the north and converged with the 7,000 men and horses of the "winged tiger" department, they found that the men and horses of the Ming Jingying had formed a defensive line, and immediately turned around and crossed the Yellow River south to kill Luoyang.

Azig and Zilharang had a clear goal, and they led their men and horses to keep an eye on Gao Yingxiang's Chinese army, and resolutely refused to consume the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry to make wedding dresses for others.

Gao Yingxiang didn't think about relying too much on the Qing army, more than ten years of rebellion has tempered him, and he understands that it is better to rely on himself than by relying on anyone, and only by having a strong force can he protect himself, gain a foothold, and develop and grow.

It is clear that the Qing army is unwilling to use the unparalleled mobility to open the way for everyone, and Gao Yingxiang does not force it.

The Ming Dynasty concentrated 70,000 or 80,000 horses to defend the Yellow River, and it seemed that there were a lot of troops, but the freezing of the Yellow River made the natural danger a smooth road, and it was not easy to stretch for more than 2,000 miles to fortify.

The highly nervous Liu Zhilun and Fang Zhenghua walked on thin ice, and after they formed a blocking line, they only fought a few small battles with the vanguard before they found that the rogue had retreated.

The two of them immediately felt that the pressure was relieved, and they took advantage of the victory to pursue and recover more than a dozen prefectures and counties near the north bank of the Yellow River.

Liu Zhilun and Fang Zhenghua were sober-minded, they refused to chase the Yellow River at all, there were not many soldiers in the Ming Dynasty who could fight, they didn't dare to become losers, and they ventured forward for their own military merits so that the enemy had a chance.

The army relied on the city and fortress to be stationed in the north of the Yellow River, and Liu Zhilun requisitioned and transferred the chief military officers Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, and the generals Chen Gao and Lin Daye on the basis of the standard camp to gather 25,000 men and horses to form the Chinese army.

He will personally lead the Chinese army to maneuver and rescue the attacked defense area on the north bank of the Yellow River.

This Biao man should be incomparable in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a strong future with elite soldiers, and its combat effectiveness is relatively close even if it is not as good as the "Red Banner Army".

A large number of wheelbarrows were carried to complete the formation in a short time, and the total number of vehicles carrying guns was close to 1,000, including 203 barrels of guns, and 200 one-pound guns of the Furlong machine were equipped.

The number of musketeers reached 8,000, all of which were equipped with self-generated guns produced by the "Red Banner Army", and half of the 8,000 cavalry were equipped with all-steel cuirasses, and all the cavalrymen had all-steel helmets with visors.

With such a configuration, as long as the soldiers are not afraid of the enemy like a tiger, even if they encounter Jiannu, they will have the power to fight.

Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, Liu Quan, Liuhe, etc., of course, are not ordinary people, they not only dare to fight, but also eager to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

The main generals of this Biao people, Liu Zhilun, Fang Zhenghua, Zhou Yuji, etc., are all heroes, and of course their subordinates are full of fighting spirit!

25,000 men and horses are concentrated in action, as long as they are maneuvering in the north of the Yellow River, it is really not easy to be calculated by rogues and Jiannu.

Liu Zhilun was experienced and would always keep the grain that could make 25,000 men and horses consume a month's worth of food loaded on the wheelbarrow, because the wheelbarrow was half loaded, and the formation was more stubborn than the empty one.

The Ming army relied on the wheelbarrow array to shoot cannons, firing guns, and raising guns to fire volleys, and even though all the 60,000 Mongolian cavalry came to fight, the possibility that Liu Zhilun and Fang Zhenghua selected the best of the best people and horses would be surrounded and annihilated in a short period of time did not exist at all.

With enough grain and grass to support a month's consumption, as long as he chooses carefully not to fall into a dead place without a water source, Liu Zhilun believes that the "King of Hanjiang County" will not sit idly by and watch himself and Fangzhenghua's Biao people and horses be wiped out by the rogues and the Qing army.

In fact, Liu Zhilun was too cautious, the Liukou and the Qing army didn't want to fight with anyone, they all came to get cheaper, they didn't have a hard time with the people of Jingying, who were psychologically prepared, and turned around and crossed the Yellow River south to the big city of Luoyang.

He Yongqing, who has the actual command of the general army of Daming Tongguan, is a fierce man who has followed Huang Han for eight years, he has been a personal guard by Huang Han's side, he is definitely loyal, and now he is the commander of the A battalion.

Huang Huiwu, the chief officer of the Tongguan regimental training, was born in Jiulitai Village, and belonged to the lineage of the lineage, and there was no doubt about his loyalty, and he directly commanded a type B battalion.

During this time, they developed a lot of guards and horses, and the number of men and horses reached 12,000 households, which means that there are about 20,000 "Red Banner Army" regular soldiers and guards stationed in Tongguan.

There were too many soldiers, civilians and officials who fled to Tongguan, and many of them were Shaanxi officials with their families and money.

They lost the city or just abandoned the city and fled, of course, they didn't dare to return to Beijing, and they refused to leave when they saw that Tongguan was solid.
