The Zheng Jiashui Division and Wakda's Qing soldiers have been fighting fiercely in Huai'an and the Agni Battalion for more than a month.

Both sides had their own victories and defeats, but Li Haoxian still relied on a stronger force behind him to suppress the Manchu Zheng family coalition army in Dahewei in front of Huai'an Mansion.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, guards were set up in Beijing and various key places to garrison the army. The number of prefectures is divided into a defense area and guarded, and there are 1,000 households and 100 households. About 5,600 people are called guards, 1,120 people are called 1,000 households, and 120 people are called 100 households. Sergeants have military status and are hereditary in the army. In general, there is only one guard in several houses, and Huai'an has one house and three guards, and the status of Huai'an is self-evident. The main reason is that Huai'an is the center of Cao Yun, the center of river control, the distribution center of the salt industry, the important place of Guanyu, and the important transportation point.

In front of the Great River Guard, the Agni Battalion surrounded this guard on all sides, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

In front of the last barrier of the Jianghuai town, it has been reduced to a battlefield of blood and fire, full of soldiers who charge into battle, shouting to kill the heavens, and everywhere are dead corpses lying in pools of blood that will never get up again. Not long ago, this living man, in this charging army, he was just an insignificant pawn, but in his family, he was a husband who was a head taller than the sky, a father who was three points heavier than Jun, and the pillar of a family, but now he was just a corpse that no one cared about to look at more.

Li Haoxian, who was red-eyed, completely ignored the swords, guns and arrows, and killed countless Qing soldiers with a spear in front of the battle, and there was no enemy at all where he passed. Of course, what made it even harder was his own soldiers, who protected him to the death, protecting him from open guns and arrows. The coach is as brave as this, which is a great boost to the morale of the army, and the fire battalion is as brave as ever.

In this battle, Li Haoxian is bound to win. The commander crossed the river to the north and marched, even breaking Jiangpu Town and Qingliu Pass, and smashed Fengyang like a bamboo, but he turned halfway and came to Huai'an to help the battle. Li Haoxian was both moved and blamed himself, the loyal battalions of the Third Route Army of the Northern Expedition and the Western Route Army resisted the four feudal kings of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, defended Xiangyang and did not lose it, and dragged down hundreds of thousands of elites of the Han Eight Banners who could fight well. The middle route army was personally led by the commander, fought in Jiangpu Town, broke the Qingliu Pass, and the Northern Expeditionary Army dragged 170,000 Qing soldiers to two battalions to help with 20,000 people.

Only his Eastern Route Army, because of the invasion of Zheng Zhilong's sailors, has not advanced an inch since leaving Yangzhou, and has been fighting fiercely in Dahewei and Wakda so far. Li Haoxian was arrogant, how could he accept that the fire battalion he was proud of had become a drag on the Northern Expedition of the commander, and he was desperate to take the Dahe Guards Linhuai'an Mansion before Hou Xuanyan's reinforcements arrived.

It's a pity that the Qing soldiers are not soft persimmons, although Wakda is not famous, but it is also a member of the Manchurian Jiannu who fought in the darkest era. He is the grandson of Nurhachi, the fourth son of Daishan, and the Qing soldiers under his hands include the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Manchurian Eight Banners, who are good at riding and shooting. Relying on the artillery fire of the Zheng family, Wakda, who only had 70,000 people in his hands, kept the fire camp in Dahewei for a month.

Just when the two sides were inseparable, Hou Xuanyan's army finally arrived, riding on a horse to a high place and overlooking the distance, the big river guard below was like a lonely boat in the monstrous waves, which would be overturned at any time, but it always reappeared on the top of the waves.

Hou Xuanyan frowned, he knew that Li Haoxian was not only brave and invincible, but also a benevolent general who was sympathetic to his soldiers, and now he was desperate to lead the army to charge. You must know that if the besieging side storms like this and forcibly attacks a city, I don't know how many men and horses will be lost.

More and more Northern Expeditionary troops appeared on the high slopes in the distance, and the soldiers on both sides below saw this brightly armored men.

Wakda in the city sighed, although he knew that Hou Xuanyan's army was coming, but there was nothing he could do. Li Haoxian is like a mad dog, biting Dahewei's own people and horses with no way to get out. Looking at the more and more figures on the hillside, Wakda turned his head, his soldiers were not frightened by the sudden appearance of the Ming army, and the morale of the army was still there, which was also the pride cultivated by the Manchurian Eight Banners who had won more with less for a long time. They were confident that they would defeat any Han Chinese army.

Li Haoxian held a spear, pulled a spear, and stabbed to death a Tartar with a red flag. The pro-soldier next to him was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "General! Our reinforcements are coming, and the commander is coming! ”

Li Haoxian turned his head to look, and the people and horses on the slope rushed down like a tide, it was the familiar tooth dragon flag, and the commander arrived...

Li Haoxian sighed in his heart, but in the end, he couldn't get a big gift to take Huai'an down and give it to the commander as a gift, but now it's all in vain.

Li Haoxian vented his anger and smashed into the Qing army, a long bridge like a dragon into the sea, thorns and splits, no one can stop it. Finally, the Northern Expeditionary Army on the slope slaughtered under the city and joined forces with the Agni Battalion, and the pressure on defending the Great River Guard soared, and the Qing soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

The battle lasted all day, and finally it was sunset, and the Northern Expeditionary Army was exhausted, but Dahewei was still crumbling, and it seemed that it was about to be breached, but it was still standing. Hou Xuanyan has been staring at the battle formation, his eyes are already sour, but there is still no sign of capturing this place. The main reason is that there are too many artillery pieces in the city, and the power is too great, and they are fired non-stop from morning to night, and the majestic strength of the Zheng family finally played a role in helping the Qing soldiers to defend this guard.

As soon as the signal of Mingjin to withdraw his troops came out, the Northern Expeditionary Army in front immediately retreated in an orderly manner, and the Qing soldiers on the city tower cheered. For them, this is indeed a rare victory, and it is the willpower of these Qing soldiers who have held on for so long.

Back in the tent, Li Haoxian, who was dejected, held a military hat in his hand, and half-knelt down and said: "Commander, his subordinates are incompetent and have failed to break through Dahewei." ”

Hou Xuanyan looked at Li Haoxian, who was covered in blood, strolled forward, gently helped him up, and looked this fierce general up and down. I have to say that Li Haoxian is a natural general. This guy's martial arts are so good that Hou Xuanyan is very envious, people like him are born for the battlefield, although he hasn't read much of his military books, but he can still see the situation clearly when he fights, which is really commendable.

"Get up, I'll look out on the slope for a day, and the Great River Guard is indeed difficult to break, and it has nothing to do with you. Zheng Zhilong raised troops to rebel in Guangzhou Mansion and colluded with the Manchus, and he was really a national thief. Now with the help of the Zheng family, Wakda complements their needs, making it more difficult for this group of Qing soldiers to deal with. Fortunately, I already have a clever plan to break through Huai'an and capture Wakda alive. ”
