On the upper floor of the south gate of Zhengzhou, Abatai, Bolo father and son, and others, looking at the city, saw that the sky in the south was covered with smoke and dust, and they suddenly jumped like thunder.

"Who is it? What bastard is so mad? Abatai's eyes were red, and the grain in the field was about to be harvested, and now he was actually burned, and his abacus was completely disrupted, which he could not tolerate.

"Lord Belle, could it be the bandits in Xuzhou and other places?" A general next to him spoke.

Bolo shook his head, "Why do the Tukou burn grain, how can they have such a vision." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the leader who came back to report, "Tell me about the specific situation you saw." ”

"Back to Beizi, when the servants were collecting grain and grass in the south of the city, they suddenly found a fire burning in the nearby wheat field, so they went to check it. The minions galloped to the vicinity of Meishan, and saw many barbarian foot soldiers holding torches and arson everywhere, and were about to kill them, but they saw many barbarian horse soldiers coming up, and there were few minions, so they came back to report. ”

"And Ma Jun?" Bolo raised his eyebrows, and immediately turned his head to Abatai and said, "Amma, I know who it is." ”

Abatai looked at him, "Who is it?" ”

"High thief Yihuan!" Bolo gritted his teeth, "Only he has a large army of horses, and only he has the motive to burn grain." ”

Gao Yihuan snatched his war horse in Shandong, and almost killed him on the edge of the Yellow River, as soon as he heard that there was a horse army, he remembered Gao Yihuan.

Abatai's face sank, and he also remembered the matter in Shandong, "Is it him?" He's looking for death! ”

Bolo continued: "The thieves may have two motives for going north to burn the wheat fields this time, one is to help Bai Wang and Li Yan and contain our Qing army from attacking Luoyang, and the other is to clear the fields of northern Henan, so that we can't get food supplies, so it will be difficult to attack his southern Henan. ”

Gao Yihuan's territory was on the line of Runing and Nanyang, and if the Qing army was north of Runing and could not obtain food, the Qing army would only have to transfer grain from the north of the Yellow River if it wanted to fight him.

In this way, the grain route of the Qing army will be prolonged, and the situation of the north will not be able to support the Qing army's long-term war.

In this way, Gao Yihuan fortified the wall and cleared the field for two months, and the Tartars ran out of food, so they had to return north.

Abatai was furious, "Shandong's account has not been settled with him, he actually sent it to the door himself." I think he's pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth, looking for death! ”

Bolo also hated this Gao Yihuan deeply, "The regent sent people to buy grain in the customs when he went to the year, but he was also destroyed by the high thieves, he didn't nest in Runing, enjoyed it for a few days, and was ready to die, but he came to Zhengzhou to send people to the head, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead." ”

After the trip to Shandong, Abatai was refrigerated, and this time he finally went out with Duoduo, and led a partial division to be responsible for grain and grass.

Originally, Duoduo asked him to levy 30,000 stone of grain, but he had already patted his chest and made a package ticket.

Now Gao Yihuan suddenly burned his grain, this is to embarrass him, make him unable to make a difference, and make him unable to raise his head in front of his fifteenth brother.

"Boluo, you stay in Zhengzhou, Bohetuo and Dong Daiqing, you all gather your men and horses, and go with me!" Abatai was furious, gritted his teeth with hatred, and gritted his teeth: "Zhengzhou is a flat river, and the thieves dare to play with fire under my nose, and they treat me like nothing!" Command the army to follow me out of the city at once and wipe out the thieves! ”

Fighting on the plains, the Qing army was not afraid at all, except for the battle of the Hunhe River that year, which was a bit miserable, has anyone ever seen the Qing soldiers lose a field battle?

Many Manchu generals immediately received orders, and they were bound to destroy Gao Yihuan, who couldn't open his eyes.

Dare to on Daqing's head, he must be tired of it.

South of Zhengzhou, near Meishan.

Gao Yihuan and the others stood on a hill, overlooking the north.

After discussing with Jin Shenghuan and others, he found that if he wanted to rob Duoduo's grain and grass, he still couldn't avoid the enemy in Zhengzhou.

Although Xingyang is only a county town and the defenders are only one or two thousand, he can bypass Zhengzhou and defeat Xingyang, but once the war starts in Xingyang, the Qing army in Zhengzhou and Hujiao Pass will soon be discovered.

And Xingyang is just in between, and even if he succeeds, he will be caught between the Tiger Prison and the Qing army in Zhengzhou.

For this reason, Gao Yihuan could only design to defeat the defenders of Zhengzhou first, or at least cripple them, so that they had no ability to intercept. At the same time, after the battle, he immediately sent cavalry north to attack Xingyang.

In this way, without the interception of the Qing army in Zhengzhou, after the Ma army attacked Xingyang, it could quickly bypass Zhengzhou and retreat in the direction of Xinzheng and Xuzhou.

Abatai has 10,000 horses, mainly stationed in Xingyang, Zhengzhou, Mixian, Zhongmu and other places, of which the main force of more than 6,000 people is stationed in Zhengzhou.

More than 6,000 Tartars were stationed in Zhengzhou, and Gao Yihuan naturally had no way to attack hard.

Although he was reluctant to fight in the wild, he still decided to lure the Tartars out and fight near Meishan.

At this time, the men and horses he sent to burn the fields had returned one after another, but Zhengzhou City had not yet moved.

Seeing that it was almost noon, and there was no news yet, it made Gao Yihuan a little anxious.

Could it be that the Qing army saw him burning the fields and knew that there were soldiers and horses coming from the south, so they were more cautious?

"Not really! After the Dongyu entered the customs, he defeated Li Zicheng, and his arrogance was high, and he shouldn't be frightened by him when he saw who killed whom. Besides, the lord of Zhengzhou City will be Abatai, who is a reckless man himself, coupled with the grudge of Shandong, doesn't he want to do Lao Tzu? ”

Gao Yihuan was thinking about it, and several cavalry galloped back in the distance, the first one was covered in blood, and there were six or seven human heads hanging on both sides of the horse, and the other army looked sideways.

Hu Dawei galloped to the bottom of the mountain, turned over and dismounted, carried the head of the person up the hill, and threw the Tartar head to the ground, which shocked Gao Yihuan and jumped.

"Dashuai, the Tartars of Zhengzhou have been dispatched, and there are about 5,000 horsemen, and they are coming here." Hu Dawei proudly hugged his fists, "This is the Tartar Forward Sentinel, and I slaughtered it!" ”

Gao Yihuan was overjoyed when he heard this, five thousand horsemen is not much, he is five times the enemy, and he should be able to fight.

"Good!" Gao Yihuan was emotional, and the soldiers were also a little excited and a little nervous.

Gao Yihuan waved his arms and said to the people behind him: "This battle will be won." Array! ”

The military order was transmitted, and the soldiers resting in the hills immediately poured out of the mountains and forests.

Because it was a Tartar attack, Gao Yihuan could choose the battlefield calmly, and he naturally chose a terrain that was favorable to him.

The battlefield was set up in an area where the hills were sunken inward, and the high sergeants were placed on the low knolls on both sides of the hills, arranging their archers and firearms, while the infantry troops lined up in the hollows with their backs to the hills.

A part of the cavalry roamed the wilderness beyond the hills, maintaining their mobility.

The other part continues to hide, preparing to fight back at a critical moment.

At this time, just as Gao Yihuan was arranging the formation, the earth in the distance roared, and a thick line suddenly appeared on the horizon, and thousands of elite cavalry galloped over, killing in the direction of Gao Jun like a monstrous wave.
