The army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was composed of 10 people and 1 chief, 300 people set up a Niu Lu Ezhen, every 5 Niu Lu Zhen set up a Zalan Ezhen (1,500 people), and 5 Zaran Ezhen set up a Gushan Ezhen (7,500 people).

Each solid mountain is the so-called one flag, and the eight banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are eight solid mountain Ezhen, a total of 60,000 people. In addition to the Manchu Eight Banners, Huang Taiji also set up the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners.

In this invasion and plunder, Huang Taiji sent five of the eight banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which were the Zhenghuang Banner belonging to the Huang Taiji lineage; the blue flag after being annexed and adapted by Huang Taiji; Dolgon, the white flag of Dorgon; the positive red flag of the Dai Shan family; The blue flag of the Zilharang series.

Coach Abatai is in charge of the yellow flag, the blue flag and the red flag, while the deputy coach Turg is in charge of the white flag and the blue flag.

The 40,000 Manchu troops of Abatai and Turge did not garrison outside the city of Ningyuan, but broke through the Yellow Cliff Pass of the Great Wall.

In addition to Zuo Liangyu of Huguang, under the pretext of being harassed by Zhang Xianzhong and Liukou in the territory, the troops of King Qin from all over the Ming Dynasty have gathered in Gyeonggi.

Sun Chuanting's 100,000 elites were stationed in Jizhen and the capital to guard the safety of the Beijing division;

Shanxi Zhou Yuji has completed the integration of Shanxi, Datong, and Xuanfu military towns, and led an army of 80,000 Jin troops into King Qin, Beijing, and was arranged to be stationed in Baoding Mansion and Hejian Mansion;

The 30,000 Qin Wang's army led by Shi Kefa were stationed in Guangping Mansion and Daimyo's Mansion.

The 200,000 Ming troops formed a chain of defense in the Gyeonggi area, firmly guarding the fortress leading to the capital.

The Gyeonggi defensive circle was heavily defended, and Abatai did not dare to forcibly attack these important military towns, so he could only plunder seven or eight county towns in the Gyeonggi region to make a little supply.

The Ming army did not have the courage and ability to fight with the Manchus at all, and could only watch as Abatai broke through several county towns, plundered grain and people, and continued to move south, crossing Hejian Province and reaching Jinan Mansion on the border of Shandong.

Liu Zeqing, who guarded Jinan Mansion, had 100,000 soldiers, and Chongzhen gave him a holy decree to snatch the grain from the villages near the prefectures and counties of Jinan Prefecture into the county seat and hold on.

Liu Zeqing robbed the grain, but in the face of the iron cavalry of the Manchu Five Banners, he did not dare to hold on to Jinan Mansion, but directly led the army to flee south and fled to Jining City in Yanzhou Prefecture.

Abatai occupied the strategic city of Jinan without a fight, because Liu Zeqing, who was guarding Shandong, had fled without a fight, and there was no mobile force in Jinan Province to form a Ming army.

Abatai got carried away and immediately divided the army of the Five Banners into five routes, one flag for each way.

The blue flag sat in the town and plundered Jinan Mansion; inlaid with white flags to the west and plundered Dongchang Mansion; The red flag marched eastward to loot Qingzhou Mansion; Abatai led the main force of the Yellow Banner and the Blue Banner to the south to attack the Yanzhou Mansion, which was still garrisoned by troops.

After entering Yanzhou Mansion, due to Abatai's contempt for the Ming army's field combat ability, he once again divided his troops into two routes, and attacked Ziyang County, the seat of Yanzhou Mansion, with the Yellow Banner; The Zhenglan Banner moved south along the western front and attacked Jining Prefecture, where Liangshan Shuibo was located.

At this point, the battle situation advanced from Jinan Mansion to Yanzhou Mansion.

Fang Yuan's 2,000 Xuanjia army was not in Yanzhou City, but rested on Shuibo Liang Mountain.

After Liang Min consulted with the Liangshan Liukou in the mountains of Shandong, he decided to support Fang Yuan's strategy of clearing the wilderness and scorched earth to resist the war, and brought the people of the villages near the mountains to the nearby mountains for resettlement, half forced and half persuasive, and of course all the grain was also brought to the mountains.

A small minion came to report that the Gushan Ezhen Darhan of the Blue Banner had led the army into the territory of Jining Prefecture, and destroyed three county towns along the way, approaching Jining City, where Liu Zeqing's main force was located.

Zhenglan Banner has a total of 25 Niu Lu, a total of 7,500 Manchu Iron Cavalry, this is Fang Yuan's carefully selected, the first target to be disabled.

The reason why Fang Yuan chose the Zhenglan Banner as his first target, one of them was to capture the thief and capture the king first, because the invading coach Abatai was a person from the Zhenglan Banner, and if he crippled the Zhenglan Banner, he could completely anger the coach Abatai. As long as Abatai is angry and sends the Zhenghuang Banner to retaliate, he can lead the war to Jining Prefecture, which is guarded by Liu Zeqing, and relieve the pressure on Yanzhou City.

The second is for more ambitious political considerations. The yellow flag and the blue flag are the descendants of Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji will die violently in less than a year. As long as the descendants of Huang Taiji are crippled, his son Haoge will definitely have the upper hand in the battle with the Dolgon line, and may be able to cause complete infighting in the Eight Banners of the Manchu Dynasty.

Liu Zeqing's cowardice in Jinan Prefecture avoided the war, so that the Manchu Iron Cavalry, who was still advancing step by step, was completely complacent, and even divided the invading Five Banners soldiers and horses again and again.

Since only one flag has entered Jining Prefecture, and Jining Prefecture is the home of the Liangshan brothers, it is time to attack!

After Fang Yuan and Liang Min said goodbye, they took a few little minions as guides and directly led the army to attack Darhan's Zhenglan Banner.

After marching for a day and a night, they arrived at a small market where the Liangshan Liukou contacted the news.

The Liangshan spies in the small bazaar reported to Fang Yuan that most of the grain and grass in Jining Prefecture had been robbed by Liu Zeqing and Liangshan Liukou, and the Zhenglan Banner grain in Darhan was not replenished.

In order to alleviate the logistical pressure, Darhan left only 6,000 people to besiege the important town of Jining, and sent 5 Niulu (300 people) in five directions to go to various villages to rob grain and people.

The nearest Niu Lu, who had reached a hundred miles away, had robbed three villages in a row, and was advancing towards the next village.

A cow record, three hundred Manchu Qing tartars, let's use it as an appetizer first!

Fang Yuan immediately led two thousand Xuanjia troops to the village where Niu Lu was marching forward, and after galloping in the middle of the night, he finally rushed to the village before the Manchu Tartars arrived.

Fang Yuan appeased the people of the village, and moved the entire village, a total of five or six hundred, directly to the mountains for temporary refuge.

He personally led a thousand men in an ambush in the village, occupied the commanding heights of various houses, and prepared to ambush the Manchu Tartars; Ling Chigutai led a thousand cavalry to ambush the hill outside the village and pursue the fleeing Manchu Tartars.

A day later, a Manchu Tartar from Niu Lu rushed to the village, but there was not a single person at the entrance of the village.

The Manchu Tartars thought that the people were all hiding in the village, and the leading Niu Lu Ezhen left a team of 100 people at the entrance of the village to guard the looted ten carts of grain, one cart of money, and more than 200 men and women who had been plundered and enslaved, and sent 200 people into the village to prepare for a house-to-house search.

Fang Yuan saw that the two hundred Manchu Qing Tartars had entered the ambush circle, and immediately ordered the sergeant to blow the trumpet of the battle.

"Woooooooo

The loud military horn sounded, and the ambushed Xuanjia army, raising their guns in unison, fired a hundred guns at the Manchu Tartars who entered the village.

"Crackle!"

After a round of shooting, the Manchu Tartars were beaten on their backs and turned into a mess, losing dozens of lives in an instant.

The Manchu iron cavalry is also considered to be the strongest force in the world, but there is no panic and collapse in the face of a sneak attack, and each ten-master began to organize a bow and arrow counterattack on the one hand, and ordered the sergeants to rush forward quickly.

Fang Yuan's Xuanjia army was an elite division armed to the teeth, and the ordinary bow and arrow counterattack and the explosion-proof equipment were completely useless, and they couldn't hurt the flesh and skin at all. Occasionally, it can only cause minor injuries in the gaps of the protective gear, far from fatal.

In addition, the Xuanjia army had already occupied the commanding heights, and the Manchu Tartars could not attack the houses even if they rushed up for a while, and when the Manchu Tartars were about to draw a ladder to go up the house, they were greeted by a second round of shooting.

"Crackle!"

The second round of gunfire rang out, and this counterattack of the Xuanjia Army killed sixty or seventy Manchu Tartars who were about to draw ladders to the house.

The swarthy "armor" of the Xuanjia army was invulnerable, and not only did not fall down after being hit by an arrow, but also continued to fight back, which was far beyond the understanding of the Manchu Tartars, and they thought that they had encountered monsters, and they did not dare to attack on the roof, so they were so frightened that they retreated again and again, and fled to the entrance of the village.

"Crackling"

The third round of gunfire rang out, and Fang Yuan's Xuanjia army, which occupied the commanding heights, killed twenty or thirty Manchu Tartars who were running a little slower, and they could only watch the remaining 100 Manchu Tartars escape from the entrance of the village.

A cold light flashed across Fang Yuan's eyes, and next, it was handed over to Chigutai.

The Manchu Tartars, who had escaped from the village, immediately prepared to flee this strange village with the looted gold, silver, grain, and one or two hundred robbed men and women.

Unexpectedly, a thousand musketeers led by Chigutai had been outflanked in three ways, and the earth-shattering shouting and shouting of killing made these frightened Manchu Tartars be heartbroken, and then they knew that they had been ambushed by the Ming army.

The leader Niu Lu Ezhen immediately ordered fifty people to mix in the plundering crowd and counterattack the Ming army with bows and arrows, and he himself led fifty people to gallop away on horseback.

The task given to Chigutai by Fang Yuan was to completely annihilate this Manchu Tartar, and Chigutai only sent a team of 300 Xuanjia troops to kill the Manchu Tartars mixed with the Han people at fixed points, and the remaining 700 cavalry went directly to chase and kill the escaped Niu Lu Ezhen.

Because the Xuanjia army was replaced by two war horses in turn, and the mobility surpassed the fleeing Manchu Tartars, the two sides chased them one after the other for most of the day, and finally eliminated all the 50 Manchu Tartars who fled.

In accordance with Fang Yuan's instructions, Chigutai seized the horses and weapons of the Manchu Tartars, stripped off all the military uniforms of the Zhenglan Banner, and cut off all the pigtails of the Tartars, along with the scalps, and brought them back as trophies.
