Since Ahsan led the men and horses to arrive, the atmosphere began to be weird, too many Qing troops talked about it, and the military discipline of the Tartars was sloppy, and it didn't take long for the Mongolian cavalry in the rear to ask the reason.

When they camped that night, rumors were already flying, and some Han soldiers actually said that Emperor Chongde was killed by the "Red Banner Army" on the basis of false rumors.

The vast majority of the rumor-mongering people in the Qing army camp were the henchmen of several generals of Zu Kuan, and their purpose was self-evidently to disturb the morale of the army.

The Han people who were coerced all learned that Jiannu was defeated by the "Red Banner Army" again, and they obediently followed Jiannu to Liaodong, and there were many people who mustered up the courage to escape at night.

At this time, the Han army and the Tartars were panicked and did not want to do much at all, there was no moonlight at the beginning of the month, the black lights were blind, the ice and snow were slippery, and the road was slippery, and they were even more unwilling to risk falling to death and being injured to chase and kill the fleeing Han people.

There were too few children of the Eight Banners in the rear team, and the seven or eight hundred people brought by Ahsan were less than 2,000, and the campsite of nearly 200,000 people was so large that of course they couldn't guard against it.

At this time, Zhao Kun, Gu Rushan and others led the "Red Banner Army" less than 30 miles away from the camp of the Qing army.

Due to the timely transmission of the news by the flag guards, the "Red Banner Army" knew about the "great victory at Ningwuguan" and knew that Liu Zhilun and others led the main force of the 30,000 or 40,000 Ming army to intercept and kill the Jiannu rear team.

The Qing army was very serious about the road ahead of the Qing army, and it was very sloppy in the rear, and they did not find that there was a single "Red Banner Army" that had been following them.

Zhao Kun's only 2,000 or so cavalry followed the Qing army to within five miles, and the scouts and officers used the clairvoyant mirror to see the Qing army's camp in real place.

The infantry of the "Red Banner Army" moved faster than the rear of the Qing army, and they were completely able to pounce on it and start fighting.

However, in order to minimize casualties and maximize benefits, the main general Zhao Kun chose to follow closely, and once he found that the Ming army blocking in front of him was launched, he would immediately lead his command to attack.

Liu Zhilun, Lu Xiangsheng, and Fang Zhenghua's men and horses have already held back their strength, and the generals under their command Hu Dawei, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, Liu Quan, Li Chongzhen, Lei Shisheng, etc., have made full preparations for the surprise attack.

Ah Shan led 2,000 horsemen to turn back and hurriedly crossed the Yellow River south, and was detected by Hu Dawei and Zhou Yuji before he could cross the Yellow River.

In order not to startle the snakes, they did not concentrate the cavalry to surround and annihilate Ashan's men and horses, because they could figure out with their toes the purpose of these horses rushing to the rear team.

Zu Kuan, Zu Keyong, and Xu Changyong didn't want to follow Jiannu in the first place, but they didn't reveal their thoughts to Zu Dabi, Zu Dacheng and other former ancestral army generals.

Because Zu Dabi and others are all cousins or brothers of Zu Dashou, they are blood relatives, and they are all masters of fragrant and spicy food in Jinzhou.

Zu Kuan and Zu Keyong are different, they are from a family, and they followed the family head with the surname Zu, and they got today's status because they didn't want to die in the war.

Xu Changyong is not an ancestral family, he is a general of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty who came to the throne by virtue of his military merits, and he has always been reluctant to surrender to Jiannu, but unfortunately he couldn't help himself at that time.

The head of the family turned his back on the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to Jiannu as a traitor, Zu Kuan and Zu Keyong thought it was a great shame, and they were often angry with Jiannu, so they lost their dignity and made the decision to defect to the Ming Dynasty.

Now that he learned that the main force led by Emperor Chongde himself was defeated by the "Red Banner Army", Zu Kuan and others strengthened their confidence in fighting back.

The freezing of the Yellow River does not mean that the river can be crossed everywhere, and in some sections the river banks are as steep as cliffs, so you can only choose to find a place with the ideal slope.

Ah Shan's men and horses had already walked back and forth, and they were familiar with the way, and led the rear team of men and horses to step on the ice of the Yellow River along their way of coming.

He had experience in crossing the river twice, and all the horses were wrapped in several layers of thick cotton cloth to prevent the hooves from slipping, and the other Qing troops certainly did the same, and the robbed cloth in hand was too much, which was completely able to meet the needs.

Liu Zhilun, Lu Xiangsheng, and Fang Zhenghua are all cultural leaders who like to calculate the most, and the preset ambush points are also arranged after field investigation of the terrain.

The target for the ambush was too large, the march was slow, and the Ming army's arrangement time seemed to be easy.

Ah Shan took half of the men and horses of the headquarters and Duo Jili, with a total of more than 10,000 horses, and rode in front, and Fan Wencheng, who was tall and tall, also appeared in the queue with a big knife and eight family members wearing a helmet and armor.

Although Fan Wencheng was originally a talented man of the Ming Dynasty, he was burly and powerful, and because he had been fighting with Jiannu for nearly 20 years, he often participated in rushing and killing, and his riding skills were no less than those of Jiannu's horse and foot armor.

The Qing army sentry horses kept coming and going to report the situation ahead, and more than one sentry horse found that there was a large number of Ming troops in the activity, and Duo Jili and Ah Shan were always on guard.

Fan Wencheng did not have a clairvoyant mirror, so he could only look at the Yellow River embankment on the north bank, and at this time he felt that danger was approaching.

Jiannu and Tartar were originally deep into the enemy country, and it stands to reason that there are dangers everywhere, and the Qing army in history came and went freely in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty as if it were no one.

It is not surprising that they were watched by many Ming troops while they were marching, and they were not afraid at all, because there were very few Ming troops who took the initiative to fight.

There are 6,000 Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry in Duojili and Ashan, plus 15,000 Han troops and 10,000 thousands of bannermen and clothed minions, and the total number of people is close to 40,000, and the strength should not be underestimated.

They proudly believed that unless they encountered the main force of the "Red Banner Army", no Ming army could attack the Qing army with such strength in the field.

Intelligence shows that the main force of the "Red Flag Army" is far away in Shuozhou City, and Duojili and Ah Shan are really not worried that they will be attacked by other Ming troops with such strength.

At this moment, Fan Wencheng came to the two of them and said: "Two generals, if it is not expected, there will be Ming soldiers and horses in front soon, and we will inevitably have a vicious battle with the Ming army on the Yellow River." ”

Duo Jili and Ah Shan are both old qualifications with a military age longer than Fan Wencheng, and besides, they have never looked down on Fan Wencheng, a minion, and they are unwilling to deal with him at all.

Fan Wencheng was bored, and scolded in his heart: "The vulgar butcher is not enough!" "I slowed down the speed of the horse, so as not to bear the brunt of the attack by the Ming army.

The ambush arranged by Liu Zhilun and Lu Xiangsheng was to occupy the favorable terrain and give full play to the advantages of infantry and artillery, and meet the Qing cavalry on the ice of the Yellow River.

When it was found that the Qing army was approaching the opposite bank and was about to leave the ice, a trumpet exploded, and Liu Zhilun, Lu Xiangsheng, and Fang Zhenghua personally led the Ming army to advance slowly and block the way of the Qing army.

At this time, the 20 one-pound Furlong machine cannons produced by the "Red Banner Army" and the 200 vehicle-mounted guns built by Liu Zhilun himself were loaded and ready to fire at any time.

There are many firearms in the Beijing camp, and the Hongyi cannon is not carried because it is too bulky to move quickly, but a swarm of bees, hundreds of tigers, and so on, which are similar to primitive rockets, are ready to be launched.
