At first, Zhu Hongsan was still concerned about the most elite Manchurian Eight Banners, but after seeing that they had also joined the attacking Mongol cavalry, he stopped paying attention to them. After all, no matter how much the Manchurian Eight Banners can fight, it is not enough to see in the face of the power of gunpowder, and their joining the battle is just the icing on the cake. So Zhu Hongsan quickly turned his attention to other directions, after all, there were tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in other directions, which was what Zhu Hongsan was most concerned about at present.

The 5,000 Manchurian Eight Banners, under the leadership of the commander Mu Shan, first followed the cavalry into the battlefield, and then turned around and rushed along the river bank to the junction of the Ming army camp and the lake. The current season is autumn, which coincides with the dry season of Lake Ansan, and the water surface is not deep. In addition, there were many local farmers by the lake who converted the swamp land by the lake into farmland, and the land was very flat, so the Eight Banners cavalry quickly killed in front of the Ming army camp wall.

The Eight Banners cavalry bypassed the camp wall by the water and swam into the camp of the Ming army, which frightened the Ming army defending the camp.

A Ming company commander guarding the camp wall saw that the Qing army had bypassed the camp wall and entered the camp, and loudly organized his soldiers to form a defensive line with muskets in the camp, and at the same time reported the news to his superiors.

At this time, Zhu Hongsan was looking at the south side, because of the obstruction of the Ming army on Anshan, there were less than 10,000 cavalry rushing in front of him, and the south side was no problem at all. At this time, a brocade guard on the side shouted: "Your Majesty, look at the big camp, the Qing soldiers have come in!" ”

Zhu Hongsan turned his head and looked at the suspense and was scared to death, just by the lake, hundreds of Qing troops had rushed into the camp and were fighting against the Ming army, and at this time there were thousands of Qing troops outside the camp who were trekking in the water by the lake, and they were about to enter the camp.

"Quick, pass the order, let Han San emphasize people to plug the gap!" The Praetorian Division had a total of five regiments, one regiment stationed at Ansan, and one regiment on the lake flotilla, and now there were only three regiments in the battalion, one on each side of exactly three directions, and there was no mobile force left.

Zhu Hongsan also knew that his troops were stretched, looked at the Jinyi guards surrounding him, and scolded: "Damn, people are dead, and they will not die for thousands of years!" Lao Tzu is on it personally! ”

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he was going to take Jinyiwei down to do it himself, but Zhu Hongsan's side was the head of the guard, and the Jinyi Guard Governor Ding Wei shouted: "Your Majesty's dragon body is valuable, let your subordinates take people there!" ”

At this time, what kind of dragon body is expensive or not, Zhu Hongsan scolded: "Fuck your mother, when is it, let the Qing army rush in and everyone will finish playing together!" All the brocade guards listened, and they went down with Lao Tzu, and it depends on this time to be promoted and make a fortune! After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, regardless of Ding Wei's obstruction, he took all the brocade guards who protected him, a total of 2,000 people, and rushed to the battlefield in the camp quickly.

Ding Wei sighed and couldn't help it, so he had to take ten brocade guards wearing heavy armor and follow Zhu Hongsan closely. Ding said that it didn't matter if he died, if Zhu Hongsan had something to do, his whole family would be considered unlucky.

At this time, there were more than 1,000 soldiers who swam back from the lake flotilla by the lake, and under the command of the company commander, they formed three horizontal columns and were fighting to the death with the Manchu cavalry.

Zhu Hongsan came to the front and saw the appearance of the company commander, and he was overjoyed, and stepped forward and asked, "Good boy, there are two sons, what is your name?" ”

When the company commander saw that it was the emperor coming, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the last general Li Fu!" ”

"Li Fu? Are you Li Fugui's son? ”

"Yes, the father of the last general is Li Fugui!"

In recent years, with the expansion of Zhu Hongsan's power, Li Fugui's identity has also risen, and he is now Langzhong of the Ministry of Police, a serious four-grade high-ranking official.

Zhu Hongsan patted Li Fu on the shoulder: "Okay!" You did a very good job, you are in command here, and Lao Tzu's brocade guards are also handed over to you, you are not a company commander now, Lao Tzu appointed you as the regiment commander, effective immediately! ”

The officers of the Praetorian Guards Division are half a rank higher than the positions of the local troops outside, and now they have been promoted to the rank of regiment commander, which is not the same as the deputy division commander outside! Li Fu was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this, and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him, and then got up and continued to command the troops.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the battlefield in the camp, because of Li Fu's effective command, the Qing troops who went ashore were compressed in a 100-meter-long strip on the shore, and the Qing troops outside the camp were also intercepted by the artillery fire of the Ming army, which was relieved, and could not support the Qing troops who rushed into the camp, and now the battle line is basically stable. But now that it is stable, there are still fifty or sixty thousand cavalry on the side of the Qing army who have not moved, and I don't know what Yue Le is going to do next.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the sky, it was almost noon, and there was no news from Li Yuanyin's side. Zhu Hongsan scolded: "Li Yuanyin, this bastard, Yuncheng is only less than fifty miles away from here, and he has crawled over!" Lao Tzu went to order him to come over last night, it's noon and there is no news, do you want to see Lao Tzu die? ”

Of course, Li Yuanyin couldn't watch his father-in-law die, he also encountered a tricky matter on his side, and he was confronting Wu Sangui's 50,000 Liaodong iron cavalry twenty miles away from Zhu Hong.

Li Yuanyin had already come to Yuncheng in early July and was stationed in Chenpo, five miles outside Yuncheng. After waiting here for more than ten days, I received a notification from the emperor that he had arrived at Ansan Lake.

After receiving the news, Li Yuanyin smiled bitterly at Zhao Hu and said: "Brother-in-law, our father-in-law, Old Taishan, is really unhurried, let us rush to Yuncheng day and night, but he just rushed to Anshan." ”

Zhao Hu knew that the army was all Zhu Hongsan's secret agents, and he couldn't guarantee that whatever he said would reach the emperor's ears, so he didn't say anything when he heard Li Yuanyin's complaints, but just smiled.

Li Yuanyin saw that Zhao Hu didn't speak, knowing that Zhao Hu looked like a chimpanzee on the surface, but he was very cautious in his heart, just like his old son Zhu Hongyi. Li Yuanyin had no choice but to say: "General Zhao, the emperor has just arrived in Anshan, and it is estimated that the Qing army will be able to come and attack in a few days, but the news from the Daimyo's Mansion that the Qing army's Yue Lebu has not moved, what do you think?" ”

"Marshal, you can't trust all the news of Jinyiwei, after all, those guys in Jinyiwei are outsiders, and it's okay to collect some ordinary information, but this kind of important information can't be found by Jinyiwei!"

"Well, what General Zhao said makes sense, so what do you say should be done?"

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived in Ansan, which proves that the big battle with the Qing army is not far away, although the emperor has not announced it now, but we should be fully prepared, just in case!"

What Zhao Hu means is to be prepared and not to wait until the situation really arises. Originally, Zhao Hu had good intentions, but Li Yuanyin was a little unhappy.

Li Yuanyin is not a big person, but his personal ability is really not good, and he is a few streets worse than his godboy Li Chengdong. In history, after Li Chengdong's death, his subordinates all belonged to Li Yuanyin, and Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang also trusted Li Yuanyin. But Li Yuanyin was a little flustered, did not lead the army to the front line and fight with the Manchus, but mixed up with the party struggle of the Yongli court, and finally Guilin was broken, and Li Yuanyin could only die to repay the king.

Therefore, Li Yuanyin is generous on the surface, but he is very cautious in his heart, and he is completely courteous to Zhao Hu because Zhao Hu is the emperor's nephew and son-in-law. Now hearing Zhao Hu pointing fingers at this pair of military deployments, Li Yuanyin was very unhappy in his heart.

Li Yuanyin pondered and said: "What General Zhao said makes sense, but now that the emperor has no holy decree, it is a little inappropriate for us to prepare rashly, if the emperor really needs us to say, what if the emperor has no decree in a few days?" Doesn't this deprive the soldiers of rest? So I feel that it is better to wait for the emperor's holy decree, after all, we are only more than fifty miles away from Anshan, and we will arrive in half a day by horse, and we will have time to come! ”

Zhao Hu heard Li Yuanyin say this and knew that this guy was unhappy, but there was no way, the main commander of this army would be Li Yuanyin, plus Zhao Hu and his son Zhu Hongyi, they were both cautious people, so when they heard Li Yuanyin say this, Zhao Hu arched his hand and said: "What the marshal said is extremely true, and the general will admire it!" ”

The two generals and deputy generals reached a unity, and 50,000 cavalry were stationed in Yuncheng to wait for the emperor's holy decree.

In the middle of the night on July 16, Li Yuanyin was sleeping, and a guard outside whispered: "Handsome! Handsome! ”

In the past few days, the military situation has been urgent, Li Yuanyin is resting in armor, and when he heard someone calling him outside, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Dashuai, there is a holy decree from Ansan!"

The Divine Decree is coming? Li Yuanyin hurriedly got up and asked the guards to wake up the adjutant general Zhao Hu and some senior officers, ready to meet the holy decree.

The one who came to announce the decree was a brocade guard hundred households, and the holy decree was also very simple, so that Li Yuanyin immediately led his troops to Ansan to meet the emperor and protect the emperor's flank.

Li Yuanyin took the holy decree and said to Zhao Hu: "It seems that General Zhao is right, the emperor really let us go!" ”

Zhao Hu nodded: "The holy decree was sent in the middle of the night, what should happen over there, Dashuai, let's prepare earlier, if we really put the emperor in danger, then we deserve to die!" ”

When it came to the emperor's life, Li Yuanyin didn't dare to pretend, so he directly called the officer on duty and asked him to inform him to get ready, and the whole army was ready to set off in an hour.

Because there was no preparation in the early stage, Li Yuanyin's cavalry was not ready until the sky turned white, and the Qing army on the shore of Ansan Lake had already launched an attack at this time.

Li Yuanyin, who didn't know anything about the battle situation, rushed to Ansan Lake with 50,000 cavalry at this time. But halfway through, the scouts in front sent a message that a large number of cavalry were found ten miles away, and the specific cavalry on that side was not clear yet.

Li Yuanyin was shocked when he heard this, the cavalry in the entire Henan and Shandong areas was Manchu except for himself, could it be that Yue Le sent someone to intercept him first? Li Yuanyin hurriedly ordered his subordinates to send a large number of scouts, and they must find out the identity and purpose of the other party.

Less than half an hour later, the accurate news came, and the cavalry on the opposite side was led by Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the number was about the same as that of the Ming army, and it was also about 50,000. At the same time, the Qing army also discovered the Ming army and was coming.
