100,000 Qing soldiers came north, broke through Fancheng and besieged Xiangyang, and the huge pressure made Wang Yan, who was in Wuchang, unable to go east to Jinling, nor could he join forces with Wan Yuan Ji to attack Jin Shengheng.

Azig and Wu Sangui are like a sharp sword against Wang Yan's back, and he can only carry out other strategies if he turns around and strikes back to completely eliminate the hidden dangers behind him.

Although Wang Yan has been winning big victories since he entered Chu, he still has not changed the situation of the weak Ming and the strong Qing, and the Manchu Qing still has the absolute initiative in the general trend of the whole world.

On the third day of the capture of Wuchang, the Ming army only rested a little, Wang Yan ordered the Ming army to attack, he commanded 50,000 horses, plus Ma Jinzhong, Hao Shaoqi, Chen Youlong, Wang Guangen, a total of 80,000 horses immediately dispatched, quickly crossed the Yangtze River and marched along the Han River.

Thousands of large and small boats were collected, and groups of men and horses crossed the river, and then carried the baggage into the Han River.

Yuan Zongdi and Wang Shixiu only took half a day to transport 10,000 soldiers and 20,000 war horses to the north bank of the Yangtze River, and then galloped on horseback, directly approaching Xiangyang.

Although Wang Yan and Yang Yanchang said that they would rush to Xiangyang in 20 days, only eight days have passed, and there is still plenty of time, but after all, the sooner the war is over, the losses of the first year of high school will be reduced, and Huguang will be at peace one day sooner.

The army crossed the Yangtze River, entered the boundary of Chengtianfu, Wang Yan urged the army behind, 10,000 governors galloped in front, they opened the road in the mountains, built bridges when encountering water, and soon crossed the right water, and it was from here that there was a scene of decay along the way.

Yuan Zongdi and Wang Shixiu entered a small village on horseback, and the whole village was left with ruins and broken walls, and there were still a few corpses lying on the barn in the center of the village.

The summer weather was hot, and the corpses of these people, apparently had been killed for some time, and they had already rotted under the scorching sun, and the disgusting smell of corpses had reached the maggots that burrowed into the shells, so that the veterans of the battlefield could not help but turn over and dismount, and ran to the side and vomited wildly.

Seeing this, Yuan Zongdi frowned, and he ordered the soldiers to quickly burn the corpses to prevent the plague, and then led the people out of the village with Wang Shixiu, and sent sentry cavalry to attack everywhere and check around.

After a short time, the sentry came back to report that almost all the villages within a radius of twenty miles had been looted, and there was no trace of anyone.

"It seems that what Yang Yanchang said is the truth, in order to attack the city, the Qing soldiers went around arresting people to be cannon fodder, but I didn't expect the Qing soldiers to run so far, and they all robbed Chengtian Mansion." Wang Shixiu frowned when he heard this.

Yuan Zongdi's face was a little heavy and said: "Yes~ I didn't expect the Qing cavalry to have such a large range of activities, and I don't know if there is a main force of the Qing army in front, are we waiting for the arrival of the Duke of Guo, or will we continue to advance to Xiangyang?" ”

"The last general thinks it's better to be safe, the front is Chengtianfu, we enter the city and wait for the arrival of the Guogong, and then make a decision, so as not to be ambushed by the Qing army, what does the commander think?"

Although Yuan Zongdi is the main general, Wang Shixiu is Wang Yan's confidant, so he cares about Wang Shixiu's opinion very much, so he nodded and said, "Well, then I will go to Chengtian Mansion first." ”

Chengtianfu is in the east of the Han River, and the 10,000 governors then turned the direction, found a place where the water flow was gentle, and built a bridge to cross the river.

The cavalry of the Qing army ravaged the Jianghan Plain, although Wang Yan issued an order for the officials of various prefectures and counties to collect the people into the city and hold the city, but Yuan Zongdi was not sure whether the Chengtian Mansion was still in the hands of the Ming army.

When the army set up a pontoon bridge, Yuan Zongdi took 30 knights to cross the river in a small boat, and then went to Fucheng to investigate.

According to the ancient system, a long pavilion in ten miles, a short pavilion in five miles, the culture flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the long pavilion became synonymous with the place of farewell, and there will be a long pavilion outside basically every big city.

Yuan Zongdi led thirty cavalry, beat the horses and traveled quickly, and soon arrived at the ten-mile long pavilion outside the Chengtian Mansion, he saw the pavilion from a distance, and saw that there was no one around, so he led the knights to stop, ready to rest for a while, and drink a sip of water.

Everyone grabbed the reins, then turned over and dismounted, Yuan Zongdi strode to the stone bench in the pavilion and sat down, he took the kettle handed over by the soldier, and was just about to take a sip, but he couldn't help but feel a burst of alarm in his heart, he listened attentively and carefully, in addition to knowing the sound of insects around, he clearly felt the sound of many people deliberately suppressing the breathing, as well as the sound of dead branches breaking.

Is there an ambush? At this time, he couldn't help but turn his head suddenly, but found that the voice was not coming from his men, so his eyes couldn't help narrowing, and he immediately stood up and walked towards the war horse.

A group of Ming soldiers who were just about to sit down immediately knew that there was a problem when they saw this, but as soon as they stood up, in a half-human-high weed outside the long pavilion, they suddenly let out a shout, and nearly 100 people suddenly stood out from the grass around them and the woods on both sides of the road, all of them were stuck with branches and thatch, holding long knives, bows and arrows, and they didn't know how long they had been lurking here.

When Yuan Zongdi saw them, they were all Han people with hair buns, but some wore the armor of the Ming army, the armor of the Qing army, and even the blue armor of the Dashun army, but although their armor was chaotic, it was obviously not a Qing soldier, it should be a lurking post set up by Chengtianfu outside the city.

Since the beginning of the Jiashen period, the northwest of Hubei has been occupied by the Shun army for a while, and then it has returned to the Qing court, and now it has returned to the Ming Dynasty from the new, and the situation is very chaotic. These people wear all kinds of clothes and armor, and it is understandable, as long as they do not shave their hair, they are not scouts.

Yuan Zongdi saw this, so he immediately put his mind at ease, he was about to ask, but a young general came out of the other party, and shouted and scolded: "Wu Gou, put down your weapons, the little master will spare you from death!" ”

"Wu Dog?" When Yuan Zongdi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, but then he reacted, they were all wearing high-topped metal bowl helmets, sonorous armor on their bodies, long knives and bows and arrows hanging from their waists, authentic Ming Dynasty regular army dress, but it happened that Wu Sangui, who was attacking Xiangyang at the moment, and his Guanning Iron Cavalry, were also almost the same, so the other party mistook them for traitor troops.

"Hehe~" Seeing this, Yuan Zongdi couldn't help but smile slightly: "This little brother, this general is ~~~"

Yuan Zongdi was about to sign up for his own number, but when the young general saw that he had a smile on his face and did not throw away his weapon and surrender, he thought that he was bullying him when he was young, and his heart suddenly burst into flames, and he bent his bow and shot.

Where did Yuan Zongdi expect that the young general would not say a word, and he would bend his bow and shoot, and the words in his mouth were immediately interrupted, and the guards on the side were shocked when they saw this, but it was too late to save them.

"Dang~" sounded, and the feather arrow hit Yuan Zongdi's helmet at once, fortunately, as a general, he had some kung fu and avoided the vital point, but even so, he was shocked into a cold sweat.

Releasing the arrow is the signal, the two sides immediately drew their swords, bent their bows, and immediately started to do it, but Zong Zongdi's helmet was shot down, and a group of dark whistles just broke out, looking at the same bun on his head, but they were all stunned.
