In the face of the rolling Dashun army, He Sanjiang and what they could do were other than actively preparing for war, but there was no other way.

The two groups of envoys who wanted to deal with Li Zicheng were sent out, but they didn't even see Li Zicheng's face, so they were cut off and thrown back to the Caozhou territory, making He Sanjiang, who didn't have much hope, completely dead.

Since the Dashun army is bent on going its own way and wants to lose troops on themselves, then He Sanjiang and they have nothing to fear! Although the other party was still his own leader a few months ago, but putting aside He Sanjiang's own identity, he has been fighting under Li Zicheng all these years, He Sanjiang's current status and treatment are all from their own knife and gun, and even if they really want to be promoted according to merit, now he He Sanjiang should also be among the top three generals of the Dashun Dynasty, but the fact is that he is still not as good as Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu and others, and has always been put on the most dangerous front line, not only himself, Even his henchmen and soldiers all felt a little unfair.

Therefore, this rebellion, although Ran Maochang's henchmen were a little surprised, but it was understandable to turn their heads and think about it, even now defecting to the Ming Dynasty and obtaining the amnesty of the Ming Dynasty, it was easily accepted by Ran Maochang and other soldiers.

Therefore, when facing the old master, He Sanjiang and his soldiers were fully prepared, although they may not be full of confidence, but when they really started to do it, they could also maintain their composure and complete combat effectiveness, and they would not retreat and cowardice when facing the old master.

When the leaders who are the backbone of the army can stabilize their minds and be ruthless, the group of people under their command who are ignorant and may not understand why they will turn around in a short period of time to fight against the previous Dashun army, but they can also maintain their composure, and the sword in their hands will not be weak.

From the very beginning, He Sanjiang knew that the other party was afraid that he would be eager to watch the two armies of Dashun and He Jiajun face each other, and the more ferocious the fight, the more happy they were, until one side won, or seize the great opportunity to grasp eighty or ninety percent, they will shoot, so at this time, He Sanjiang's envoy for help was not sent, but concentrated his forces in the border area adjacent to the territory of the Dashun army, and did a good job of fighting head-on.

This is also a great opportunity for Sun Chuanting and them to have a good look at the strength of He Jiajun, and let them understand the return of He Jiajun, which is a great blessing for their Daming.

This certainty comes from the strength of the soldiers under He Sanjiang and Bai Yushan, as well as the deep understanding of the terrain of Caozhou, as well as the support from the Hongmen base camp.

As mentioned before, He Sanjiang moved to Shandong, abandoning Puyang, which already had some foundations, because Shandong has many waterways and is adjacent to the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, which is convenient for the support of the most powerful maritime sailors in Hongmen, as well as the supply of materials from Qixintang and Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.

When Baiyushan was operating the water and mountains in Caozhou, the Hongmen base camp quietly supplied Baiyushan with thousands of flintlock spears and nearly 20 field guns of various types through Qixintang and Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.

It's not that Hongmen can't give Bai Yushan more firearms support now, but with the strength of Bai Yushan and He Sanjiang, too many firearms will pop up at once, but it is likely to expose the relationship between Hongmen, He Jiajun, and Bai Yushan.

Flintlock muskets and field guns are Hongmen's specialties in the Ming Dynasty, even if someone and the team may be able to imitate them, Hongmen itself is also selling some less cost-effective firearms, but its overall number of circulation in the world cannot be too much, so how can people like Baiyushan and He Sanjiang suddenly have the strength of firearms that surpasses others?

However, nearly 1,000 flintlock muskets, 20 advanced field artillery, and the firearms accumulated by He Jiajun's own fierce battles along the way are just not suspicious, and at most they also sigh that the other party has great magical powers and can establish business relations with Hongmen, and so on.

The vanguard army of 100,000 Dashun Army, led by Liu Zongmin, who He Sanjiang was most familiar with, entered the territory of Caozhou one step ahead of the 250,000 army of Dashun's main force.

At the beginning of the contact, He Jiajun retreated step by step, although he also resisted, but his will to resist was not resolute, as if his subordinates still had a lock attachment to the old master of Dashun, etc., at least in Liu Zongmin and his henchmen and generals felt like this.

In this regard, He Sanjiang has long been premeditated, the terrain of Dongming County, the famous mansion west of Caozhou, is close to the Yellow River, after countless times of the Yellow River, its area is a smooth road, which is not conducive to the defense of the He army, rather than in this flat terrain and the Dashun vanguard army head-on, but it is better to retreat a distance, in exchange for space for geographical advantages, to reduce the losses of the He army as much as possible.

The strength of the He family army plus the Bai Yushan department, the mobilization of the Swiss army, although less than 100,000, but it is not far away, but compared with the Dashun army that came to conquer him this time, it is more than three times the difference, which is not difficult to see that at this moment Dashun Li Zicheng's confidence and will to exterminate the He family's army, but also make the He family army somewhat worried and panicked.

He Sanjiang is certainly full of confidence in the strength of the He family army he has trained, but in the face of the overall strength, he also has to admit that the other party is far stronger than himself, if there is no bit of arrangement, geographical advantages and other advantages to fight, even if they are difficult to block the attack of the Dashun army, I am afraid that they will suffer heavy losses, and how to deal with the Daming Sun Chuanting and his group who are staring at the side?

Therefore, He Sanjiang reversed the attitude of attaching importance to land and territory in this era, and after he came up and only hurriedly blocked Liu Zongmin, he slowly withdrew the soldiers of the He family army in Dongming County, and handed over Dongming County to the Dashun army.

In the meantime, the losses of the Dashun army were not too great, the loss of 100,000 vanguard troops was only seven or eight thousand, and the He Jiajun itself, as the defender, had long been ready to retreat and so on.

At this time, he wanted to find He Sanjiang for an explanation, but Liu Zongmin, who wanted to explain, was a little impulsive, and did not wait for the subsequent main army to follow, and after occupying the Dongming County Ya overnight, he followed the retreat route of the He Jiajun to chase up, and it seemed that he wanted to take down the important town of Caozhou in one go, and make a great contribution in front of Li Zicheng.
