That night, when Wang Yan returned to the camp from the Governor's Palace, he hurriedly summoned many generals and asked them to prepare overnight, and immediately pull out the camp and go north early tomorrow morning.

In order to maintain a strong army, the Governor Biao's pro-army did not include new soldiers, but all selected Jiangnan veterans, who were not only strong in battle, but also loyal to Wang Yan and absolutely obedient.

At this time, the Ming troops in northern Hunan were all retreating south, and after they received the order to go north, they did not have the slightest doubt, and packed up overnight.

At that time, Dai Zhifan's car battalion and baggage and heavy food and salary, just entered Chenzhou, and it took seven or eight days to come to Changsha.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Yan did not bid farewell to his parents, but led 4,000 men and horses north along the Xiangjiang River, and when all the armies broke south into Changsha, this official army that went north to meet the enemy attracted the attention of the defeated army.

"Whose centaur is this, aren't they afraid of death?"

"I heard that it is the army of the Duke of Chu~"

"It is the Duke of Chu who once defended Yangzhou alone and defeated 80,000 Qing soldiers."

"They are all warriors~"

The northbound Governor Biao's pro-army, amid the discussion of the rout along the coast, followed the Jin Ge Iron Horse to the north.

Wang Yan rode before the armies, although he was confident in many military schools, and regarded the Qing soldiers as local chickens and dogs, but in fact he knew very little about the situation of the Qing soldiers in Yuezhou, and the reason why he had the courage to go north alone was only because there were these 4,000 elite sons and daughters around him, as well as the rear army that was about to come to converge.

On the way north from Changsha, Wang Yan really saw several Ming troops and went south, it seems that He Tengjiao is really determined and just wants to guard Changsha.

On the twentieth day of the first month, Wang Yan's army marched to the new wall adjacent to Yuezhou, but he did not expect that there was still an official army here.

Wang Yan asked with his generals, only to learn that this army only had 2,000 people, and the generals were Fu Biao under Zhang Kuang.

Originally, Man Dazhuang was going to retreat south and shrink to Changsha, but Zhang Kuang ordered him to stay at the new wall, one could cooperate with Wang Yan, and the other could be used as an outpost of Changsha.

"How many Qing soldiers are there in Yuezhou City?"

"The Qing soldiers in the city are mainly Zu Kefa and Zhang Yingxiang, both of whom are green battalions, with about 30,000 people. The Manchu and Han Eight Banners and the Mongol soldiers all went west to chase and kill the governor. ”

"Are there cavalry in the city?"

"There are ~ but not much, there should be only more than a thousand."

Wang Yan learned about the situation in Yuezhou from Man Dazhuang's mouth, and his heart couldn't help but settle down a lot, which was similar to the situation he thought, Luck Dehun didn't take He Tengjiao, who fled without a fight, in his eyes, and the main force went to chase and kill the Shun army.

The battle of the Qing army was divided into several ranks, Zhen Manchu was the strongest, followed by the Han and Mongolian Eight Banners, and Wu Sangui, Li Chengdong, Jin Shengheng and other elite of the Ming army who surrendered in the formation, and the rest were some chaotic army adapted from the green battalion.

Wang Yan is now facing the green battalion, but the 30,000 green battalion guarding the city is not something he can deal with, and he basically has no possibility of capturing Yuezhou.

In the city of Yuezhou, the Qing court guard general Zu Kefa is the adopted son of the famous general Zu Dashou, surrendered after the battle of the Daling River, and served as the Qing court in June of the first year of the Qing court to reform the Han army military system, when the Han Army Eight Banners were established, Zu Kefa awarded the Han Army the post of deputy commander of the Yellow Banner.

In the following year, Zu Kefa accompanied Prince Zheng Jierharang to conquer the Zhonghou Institute and the Qiantun Guard, and was awarded the title of Yiyun Cavalry Captain on merit.

In April of the year of Jiashen, the Qing army entered the customs, Zu Kefa defeated the Shun army several times in the north of Zhili, and the Qing court made him the chief soldier of Henan Weihui as the right governor.

During this period, he defeated the Shun army again, and defeated more than 20,000 Shun troops in Huaiqing.

This time the Qing army rescued Hubei, Zu Kefa was once again entrusted with an important task by the Qing court, and was appointed as the governor of the left capital, serving as the chief soldier of Huguang and stationed in Yuezhou.

At this time, he had 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and he wanted to attack Changsha directly, but the commander of the Qing army, Luck Dehun, ordered him to hold Yuezhou tightly, and then decided to go south after the Eight Banners had solved the Dashun army in western Hubei and northern Hunan.

Zu Kefa has a lot of military exploits, and he is a famous general, so he thinks of himself as high, he saw He Tengjiao fleeing without a fight, and all the departments of the Ming army collapsed in the south, and he already had the intention of raising troops to chase and kill, but Luckard had an order, and he was not allowed to lead troops across the new wall, so he could only endure it.

On the 21st day of the first month, after Wang Yan rested on the new wall for a day, he crossed the Xinqiang River and led his troops to Yuezhou.

Wang Yan's 4,000 men and horses entered the boundary of Yuezhou, and they were soon discovered by the Qing army's sentry cavalry, and reported to Zu Kefa, and he was immediately overjoyed.

When he learned that the person who came was Wang Yan, the Duke of Chu in the Ming Dynasty, he immediately prepared to lead his army out of the city to meet him.

The name of Wang Shiheng is now well-known to many Qing generals, he defended Yangzhou alone, thwarted the siege of Duoduo for two months, and then killed the Qing court general Zhun Ta, and defeated Li Shutai, which has been spread all over the world.

The generals of the Qing court all believed that among the generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty, only Wang Shiheng was the one who could fight, as well as Chen and Yan Ergonger, who were martyred in Jiangyin.

Zu Kefa has always regarded himself as high, and he has been mostly smooth sailing since he entered the customs, so he has long had the intention of fighting Wang Yan.

Today, Wang Yan only led more than 4,000 people to attack Yuezhou, isn't this a thousand miles to send people's heads?

Zu Kefa thought that if he could defeat Wang Yan and annihilate the 4,000 Ming army, his reputation and status would inevitably be greatly improved, so he hurriedly gathered 20,000 horses and prepared to go out of the city and meet him head-on.

At this time, his deputy general Zhang Yingxiang stopped: "Wang Shiheng is famous, and his soldiers are extremely good at fighting, and the general army must not underestimate the enemy." Now all the departments of the Southern Ming Dynasty have retreated, only Wang Shiheng's lone army came to the north, and it all relied on a drum of energy, in order to fight quickly, the total army might as well stick to Yuezhou, wait for its anger to vent, and then go out of the city to attack it, then it can be won. ”

Zu Kefa heard this, but shook his head and said, "Definitely! Our army is 30,000, but the enemy is not more than 4,000, how can 30,000 escape into the city, and dare not meet the 4,000 men? If I listen to you, I will be laughed at by others. ”

Zhang Yingxiang saw that Zu Kefa didn't listen, and then said: "Wang Shiheng is cunning with soldiers, and the general soldiers should not confront him head-on." Between Yuezhou and the new wall, there is a new wall river natural danger, Wang Yan crossed the river, the last general was willing to lead 5,000 men and horses straight into the river, cut off Wang Yan's retreat, and then the general led the troops and the last general to attack on both sides, then Wang Yan will be defeated. ”

Zu Kefa listened to his persuasion again, and he was already a little unhappy in his heart, and he was very dissatisfied with Wang Yan, who came to attack Yuezhou recklessly with 4,000 soldiers and horses.

He felt that Wang Yan was actually nothing remarkable, and he only had 4,000 men, while he had 30,000 soldiers, so he didn't need to play any tricks with him at all, and he could completely crush him with a dignified and upright teacher.

Zu Kefa didn't listen to Zhang Yingxiang's words at all, and ordered him to take 10,000 horses to defend the city, while he led 20,000 green battalion soldiers out of the city from the south gate to find Wang Yan for a decisive battle.
