As soon as the army marched to the territory of Dongningwei, the spies came to report that there was a flag fluttering on the official road ahead, and it was a military flag with a white flag and a white flag.

The spies in the rear also came to report that the Manchu Iron Cavalry of the Yellow Flag, the Red Flag, the Red Flag, the Blue Flag, and the Blue Flag had been stationed in Hetuala, and it was only a two-day journey away from Fang Yuan's entourage.

Fang Yuan was slightly startled, it seemed that when the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry captured Hetuala, Dolgon's white banner and Duoduo's army of white flags had already taken the lead in entering Dongningwei, cutting off Fang Yuan's marching direction.

And behind him was the even larger Five Banners Manchu Iron Cavalry in pursuit.

Until this time, Fang Yuan came to his senses a little, why did Huang Taiji delay in pursuing him, it turned out that he had already seen through Fang Yuan's marching intentions and secretly sent troops to cut off the retreat. At present, there is an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the back, and they have fallen into the trap set by Huang Taiji in advance.

The current situation of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is very bad, how to break through the encirclement and interception, Chigutai is also very worried, and he found Fang Yuan that night and asked for countermeasures.

It was the middle of October, and the night wind in Liaodong was cold and biting.

Fang Yuan inspected the various military camps, but fortunately, when he was in Hetuala, he had already grabbed enough tiger skins and mink skins, and he supervised the distribution of these stolen animal skins and leather clothes to each sergeant to keep warm and keep out the cold.

Fang Yuan was dressed in a white tiger fur coat, standing outside the barracks, looking up at the stars in the night sky, but thinking about the little princess in Beijing, Kunxing. If I return triumphantly this time, I will marry her and take her back to Jiangnan. Until this moment, Fang Yuan still didn't think of how to get along with this princess, let alone how to make the little princess and Xiao Yuan live in peace.

In Fang Yuan's courtyard before, Kun Xing made a big fuss because of the existence of Xiaoyuan; And Xiao Yuan, although she is docile on weekdays and never publicized, she is exquisite in the house, and both Zhu Cihuan and Qin Zhan are happy to trust her. And now, she has taken over Fang Yuan's private vault, as well as the income and expenditure accounts, as if she is already the hostess in the Canglang Pavilion, without the name of the hostess.

These two girls of similar age got together, and they didn't know what kind of turmoil was going on, and Fang Yuan felt a lot of headaches when he thought about it in the days to come.

Chigutai also came out of the barracks and stood side by side with him, "Fang Junmen, there may be a big battle tomorrow, what are you thinking?" ”

Fang Yuan accepted all his thoughts and answered him truthfully, "Women, or two women." ”

Chigutai laughed and said, "Fang Junmen is really solid enough, but I'm miserable, there is not a single woman." ”

Fang Yuan turned his face sideways to look at him, and said with a smile, "Chigutai, since you joined the Xuanjia Army, you haven't married a wife or had children, and I haven't asked you why." ”

Chigutai laughed and said, "Don't hide it from Fang Junmen, I'm not interested in women." ”

Fang Yuan deliberately stayed away from him, and said with a straight face, "It turns out that you are interested in men, can you not get so close?!" ”

Chigutai laughed loudly and said, "Fang Junmen is joking? I actually have a fiancée who is a young horse, but I was robbed by a little Khan of a Mongolian tribe. On the day I got married, I rushed in a rage and slaughtered a few people, but I was hunted down and killed, and even my parents died at their hands. The original tribe didn't dare to protect me, so I could only be a horse bandit on the grassland! Hahaha! ”

This is the first time that Fang Yuan has had a face-to-face relationship with the first fierce general under his command, and he only talked about military affairs before, but today Chigutai even talked about the feelings between men and women. Although he was laughing, Fang Yuan could clearly hear the helplessness and desolation in this laughter.

The hatred of killing the father, the hatred of taking the wife, the two great hatreds in this world have come together, and the hatred can be said to be higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.

Fang Yuan Zhengrong said, "Chigutai! Whatever the little Khan of the Mongol tribe, when one day our iron horsemen set foot on the steppe, I will grant you permission to destroy the tribe of this little Khan. ”

With tears in his eyes, Chigutai saluted him half-kneeling on the ground, "It's the little khan under the Heshute tribe, if I don't have a chance to set foot in the grassland again, I will ask Fang Junmen to avenge me." ”

Fang Yuan heard his words as if he were his last words, his heart suddenly burst, and he looked at him in amazement, "Chigutai, do you have no confidence in this breakthrough?!" ”

Chigutai said gloomily, "Fang Junmen, this time the enemy is outnumbered too much, tomorrow to the battlefield, I will fight a bloody way for you to the south, you wait for the opportunity to retreat, as long as you can get to Dandongkou, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has no sailors, there is no way to take you." ”

Fang Yuan patted him on the shoulder and smiled confidently, "Chigutai, we won't lose tomorrow, and we won't lose in the future!" I'm not trying to comfort you, I have three reasons to win. ”

"For one, we still have one or two thousand important hostages, and if Dolgon and Duoduo are left alone, the widows of these Manchurian nobles can squirt them to death with a mouthful of saliva."

"Second, the Xuanjia Army has you, the first fierce general of the Ming Dynasty, and there are seven thousand elites who dare to fight and rush and are not afraid of death, I really can't think of a reason to be pessimistic!"

Chigutai saw that he was analyzing the Tao, and his previous pessimism was a little more, but his confidence was a little more, and he asked, "What about the third?" ”

Fang Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Third, it's because I and Prince Rui Dolgon are brothers!" ”

Chigutai was taken aback, and asked suspiciously, "Are you really worshipping brothers?" I always thought Fang Junmen was joking! ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "It really wasn't before, but this kind of worship brother can be recognized at any time, understand?!" ”

He saw that Chigutai was still stunned, and knew that this fierce general was a sincere character, so he didn't want to talk to him anymore, betrayed the guanzi, stopped smiling and said, "Chigutai, tomorrow's battle plan, you lead two thousand iron horsemen equipped with the Xuanjia Divine Gun, mixed with five hundred Manchurian nobles, to meet the white flag and the white flag. I would like to see, Dorgon, Dordor, if they dare to ignore the lives of these Manchurian nobles. ”

Chigutai suddenly said, "Fang Junmen wants to use the hostages as a threat, make them throw rats, and then take the opportunity to cover up and kill!" ”

The corners of Fang Yuan's mouth raised a sneer, this was his first plan to open the breakthrough of Dorgon and Dorgon!

In the early morning of the next day, Duoduo's three thousand iron horsemen with white flags advanced to the military camp of the Xuanjia Army and sent people to invite the battle.

According to the method taught by Fang Yuan, Chigutai rode with 2,000 Xuanjia iron horses, mixed with 500 Manchu captured nobles, drove them one by one to raise the banner of their own clan, and ran towards Duoduo's cavalry phalanx with Manchu shouts.

And the elite cavalry of Chigutai had already been loaded and ready to cover up the killing.

This war lasted less than two hours, and the outcome of the war was completely as Fang Yuan expected.

Although these old Manchu nobles who were taken hostage by Fang Yuan did not have positions, their sons and nephews were officials in the court, and there were countless officers in the Eight Banners. In the face of such a group of powerful people, Mo said that it was a large-scale initiative to shoot arrows and slaughter, but the protection was not good, and dozens or hundreds of people were injured, and most of them would be held accountable by Huang Taiji afterwards.

Duoduo's white-flag-inlaid spirit cavalry was timid in battle, and he didn't dare to shoot arrows at the Xuanjia iron cavalry that followed these old and manchurian nobles.

The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry mixed in the crowd shot Duoduo's cavalry phalanx with precision with the Divine Gun, the Xuanjia Divine Gun not only had a long range, but also surpassed all the previous firearms of the Ming Army.

This kind of restrained battle could not be fought at all, and Duoduo chose to retreat immediately after losing one or two Niu Lu's white flag elite horsemen.

Fang Yuan's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry followed the direction of Duoduo's retreat and advanced directly to the white-flag-inlaid camp under the Dongning Acropolis, watching the white-flaged soldiers cover the four or five hundred Manchu nobles retreating to Dongning Weili.

He took back the rest of the Manchurian nobles who had not had time to escape into Dongningwei and the camp with white flags, and this kind of precious hostage, each of which has a lot of value, cannot be thrown away at will.

The first day of the confrontation ended in a small victory for Fang Yuan, not only killing one or two cavalrymen with white flags, but also advancing the battle line from the Dongningwei border to the city.

However, the crisis of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry has obviously not been resolved, because there are still 1 or 20,000 in Dongning Weili, the elite of the white flag and the white flag; Behind him, Huang Taiji's pursuers will never exceed one or two days' journey, and they may pursue at any time.

The problem in front of Fang Yuan was how to break through Dolgon's interception in the fastest time, otherwise, once Huang Taiji chased after him, everything would be over!
