The news of the Qing army's breakthrough through the vortex river soon reached Luyi, and Jin Shenghuan, who was sitting here, was not surprised.

The vortex river is so long, if the Qing army wants to break through, it will always find a way.

Now that the Qing army has crossed the vortex river, there are holes in the Wei army's defense line, and Jin Shenghuan is not worried about the Qing army attacking Luyi.

Luyi City is the largest fortress in eastern Henan, garrisoned by 3,000 people, the city is equipped with artillery, not the small fort guarded by Tunding outside, the Qing army will definitely not be able to attack it for a while and a half.

Jin Shenghuan was worried, and Duoduo's main force would not fight Luyi, but continued to advance westward, or outflanked him in a roundabout way, trapping him in Luyi.

When the wolf smoke rose in the direction of Twenty Miles, Jin Shenghuan immediately found the lieutenant stationed in Luyi and instructed him to guard Luyi, if the Qing soldiers came to attack, they would rely on the fortress and inflict heavy damage on the Qing army, and if the Qing soldiers did not attack, they would go out of the fortress to harass the Qing army.

After the instructions, Jin Shenghuan did not continue to stay, and rushed back to Runing non-stop.

Gao Yihuan left 60,000 troops in southern Henan, and Wu Shizhao guarded Shang Kexi in the direction of Zhengzhou, who only needed to hold the gap between the eastern foothills of Funiu Mountain and the mountains in the west of Runing, that is, the area around Xiangcheng, to block the main force of the Qing army and enter the Nanyang Basin.

Xiangcheng is not a fortress, but after transformation, the Ten Thousand Enemy Platforms were added, and two small forts were built outside the city, and equipped with artillery, and the artillery in the same city supported each other, guarding the passage of the Qing army into Nanyang.

This was more complete than the last time the Qing army attacked, so relatively speaking, Wu Shizhao's pressure was lighter, and he only led 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Jin Shenghuan was facing Duoduo from the east, as well as the main force of the Qing army retreating from Jiangbei, and the terrain of Runing was not like Nanyang, which was located in the basin and had the Funiu Mountains in the north to block the Qing army, so the pressure was much greater.

Jin Shenghuan is in control of 40,000 Wei troops, and in the face of the main force of the angry Qing army, all he can do is to delay as much time as possible and wait for the main force of the Wei army to come back.

In order to try his best to stop the speed of the Qing army, Jin Shenghuan's strategy was to use the land in exchange for time. He sent 10,000 Wei troops, sprinkled beans in the eastern Henan military fort group, the big fort garrisoned 1,000 people, the middle fort garrisoned a division of 300 people, the small fort garrison 100 people, and even only a team of 12, let the Wei soldiers soldiers, organize Tunding to block the speed of the Qing army.

At the end of January 1647, the Manchu Qing began to make contact with Nanjing, and the war in Jiangbei eased, and a large number of Qing troops turned northwest and rushed to southern Henan.

The Wei army's fortress group in eastern Henan delayed the Qing army for more than half a month, so that Duoduo realized that the daylilies were cold when they were pulled over one by one, and the main force of the Qing army began to choose weak spots to break through and quickly kill towards Runing.

Soon after Jin Shenghuan returned to Runing, the Qing army successively tore through the two defense lines of the Vortex River and Yingshui, and the army entered southern Henan and entered the east bank of Rushui.

At the same time, a Qing army in Jiangbei, avoiding the military forts in eastern Henan, directly entered southern Henan from Fengyang Mansion, captured Xincai County, and threatened Runing from the southeast.

The Qing army hated Gao Yihuan very much, and the Qing army in southern Henan killed people when they saw them, and slaughtered all the residents of Xincai City, and the news reached Runing, which immediately caused a riot.

After the last battle of Runing, Gao Yihuan realized that it was too unsafe for Runing to be the front line and leave the workshops here, so he moved all the government-run workshops to Nanyang, and notified the merchants and gentry of Runing to move west.

At this time, most of the people and the workshop were gone, but there were still many people who were reluctant to leave their family business and chose to stay.

With such a big migration, Gao Yihuan naturally couldn't compensate for the losses of the people, just put some relief food so that people wouldn't starve to death, and the rest needed to be borne by the gentry and the people themselves.

Some people didn't want to go, but after the Qing army invaded southern Henan, they slaughtered the people, and the people were afraid, but at this time, Shang Kexi in the north had broken through Xuzhou and killed Xiangcheng, and the people took the official road to Nanyang.

The Qing army in Jiangbei, after attacking the southern part of Runing Mansion from Fengyang Mansion, took the road of Xinyang over Dabie Mountain, which was also not safe.

Jin Shenghuan could only let people move some of the old and weak to the mountains to the west, and transported a batch of equipment, copper and iron that were too late to be transported into Chaya Mountain and Wolf Mountain.

At the same time, the young and strong people who remained in the local area were given weapons and food, and the tunbao was armed.

After Jin Shenghuan returned to Runing, he arranged defenses, transferred workshops, craftsmen and materials, and was very busy.

In Runing City, Jin Shenghuan stood in the hall of the mansion, looked at the civil and military officials of Runing, and took out a roll of black silk, "The marshal has already proclaimed himself king in Xi'an, and he will be promoted to be the Liuhou and the governor of the left army, and you will also be rewarded." The king ordered us to block the Qing army and wait for the army to come to help. ”

I heard that Gao Yihuan occupied Xi'an and became the king, and the civil and military officials in the hall were a little calmer, and many people also leaked excitement.

The Qing army attacked in a big way, with a fierce momentum, burning and looting all the way, which made many people afraid in their hearts.

Gao Yihuan's claim to be the king undoubtedly gave everyone a reassurance, indicating that the Wei army was progressing smoothly in Guanzhong, and it would not take long to return to help.

When Jin Shenghuan was in Runing City, boosting morale, Nikan led a Qing army and was advancing rapidly.

The composition of this Qing army is complex, the main force is a Jiala Huangjia Zhen Manchu, a total of more than 1,500 people, but the combat power can defeat the Ming army of 10,000.

In addition to the 1,500 true Manchurias, there are nearly 7,000 green battalion soldiers who cooperate with the Manchurian soldiers, and their combat power cannot be underestimated.

Nikan was the third son of the Manchu clan, the grandson of Nurhachi, and the third son of Guangluo Belle Aixin Jueluo Chu Ying, and was the best of the younger generation of the Manchu dynasty.

This attack on southern Henan was nothing to Nikan, who had just finished the Jiangbei War, as the vanguard of the Qing army, with 10,000 horses and horses, had already entered the east bank of Rushui.

At this time, Wang Jiaping, who was dressed in civilian clothes, hit his horse and came to Nikan, turned over and dismounted, "Qi Qi Baylor, the minions have detected a large number of people, and they are all rushing to Runing." The minions asked for their lives, took a group of men and horses, and infiltrated the city to respond to the army and help Baylor take Runing City. ”

Nikan grabbed the reins of the horse, listened to Wang Jiaping's suggestion, and immediately waved his hand, "The army stops!" ”

The Qing army team that was advancing suddenly stopped in unison, Nikan looked at Wang Jiaping, and praised: "General Wang, you have a lot of ideas, let it go!" ”

Wang Jiaping was overjoyed when he saw Nikan agree, he slapped a thousand children and saluted on one knee, "Chick!" Belle, how the minions infiltrated the city, three days later, and the fourth watch, raised fire as a trumpet, and seized the city gates. ”

Nikan said: "The prince didn't misunderstand you, if you succeed, Benbeile will sponsor you to be a general soldier!" ”

Wang Jiaping was overjoyed and kowtowed to Nikan.
