Duerde, a native of Manchuria with the Blue Banner, is the grandson of the famous general An Feiyangu of the Later Jin Dynasty, because his father died in the battle of the Daling River, so he was hereditary as a senior officer at a young age, and belonged to the young nobles among the children of the Eight Banners.

Young and ambitious, Durde was eager to make contributions like his ancestors, and he was very brave in every battle, and he was promoted to the rank of Lama Zhangjing with the blue flag.

In order to pursue Emperor Longwu, Duerde led fifty white-armored soldiers and one thousand armored cavalry, marched lightly to Tingzhou, and camped thirty miles away from Tingzhou that night, recuperating and preparing to attack the city the next day.

After seeing the dozens of Qing soldiers who were defeated and retreated, Duerde was furious and whipped them fiercely, no matter what the reason, more than eighty elite soldiers of the Eight Banners should not have lost the battle against hundreds of Ming troops, and if such a record was reported, he would definitely be reprimanded by Bolo.

The atmosphere in the court has been very tense recently, and the masters have almost torn their faces, and the contradictions between Dolgon and Hauge are well known to everyone, as Hauge's cronies, Bolo sent troops to Zhejiang and Fujian this time, and he was under great pressure, and he was very concerned about his achievements and military exploits.

The power struggle above the court will inevitably be linked to the military power, whoever has the military power will take the initiative in the court struggle, and can even directly launch a coup d'état, so Haoge rushed to attack Zhang Xianzhong...... And Bolo's dispatch to Zhejiang this time is also the result of the efforts of the Hauge faction, hoping that he can take this opportunity to make enough military achievements to compete for power in the army.

Azig defeated Li Zicheng, and Haoge was about to defeat Zhang Xianzhong.

Duoduo destroyed the Hongguang court, and Bolo also wanted to destroy the Longwu court.

Although Durde is a blue-flag person, he has long taken refuge in Bolo and also belongs to the Hauge faction, so he was entrusted by Bolo with an important task and served as the vanguard officer of the whole army. I hope that he can capture and kill Emperor Longwu and make a great contribution to the Haoge faction.

I didn't expect to be unfavorable, the vanguard actually fought a defeat, which made the arrogant Duerde unbearable, although this was only a small-scale battle, but the Qing army has always been invincible, a small defeat is very conspicuous, if it is reported, it is likely to be caught by people with ulterior motives.

"Only tampering with the war report." Durd made up his mind as long as he could capture Emperor Longwu. The hundreds of Ming troops in Tingzhou were changed into 20,000 troops, and the battle was changed into an extremely difficult and vicious battle, and the 20,000 Ming troops were defeated with 1,000 and eight banner soldiers.

As for the possibility of Emperor Longwu escaping. He didn't think about it at all, the roads near Tingzhou were well-connected in all directions. Able to give full play to the mobility of the cavalry. It is best for Emperor Longwu to escape out of the city, even if he is let go for one or two hundred miles first, Duerde is confident that he will catch up in one day.

There was a scout in return, and Emperor Longwu hid in Tingzhou City and did not escape, but Duerde felt a little headache. The Eight Banners have a strong field combat ability, but siege warfare is a weakness. Especially the cavalry he brought this time, if the Ming army closed the city gate and defended it, it would become a dog biting a turtle, and there was no way to eat.

"The Ming army had better go out of the city to face the battle!" Durd prayed secretly. If you can wipe out those hundreds of Ming troops outside the city, you can easily break through Tingzhou and capture Emperor Longwu......

At dawn the next morning, Durde ordered the whole army to have a full meal of war meals, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners ate fried noodles and drank cold water, and then went to Tingzhou City to kill.

Still far away from the city wall, Durde saw the closed gate of Tingzhou and cursed secretly in his heart.

"Nangou is really a gutsless breed!"

But he soon discovered the anomaly again, a bright yellow banner stood on the city wall, and under it stood a general with bright armor, wearing a golden helmet and gold armor, and a bright red cloak.

"Who is this?" Duerde is a little strange, this faction leader is more energetic than the general soldier, could it be that there are reinforcements from the Ming army in Tingzhou City? He urged the horse to step forward and take a closer look, and found that the banner on the head of the city turned out to be Emperor Longwu's, the general was wearing a gold lacquer Wenshan armor, and the yellow dragon robe was covered inside, and it was Emperor Longwu himself.

Duerde was stunned, he didn't expect Emperor Longwu to have such courage, which was beyond his expectations.

When he came to Tingzhou this time, he specially brought a surrendered Southern Ming military general, this person knew the appearance of Emperor Longwu, so as not to be confused by the Ming army's strategy, which was just right at this time.

"You, come and see, is this person Zhu Yujian?"

"Yes, it's true!" The surrendered Nanming military general swore an oath to ensure that this person was Emperor Longwu.

Durd narrowed his eyes, and then carefully looked at this person on the head of the city, yes, this person does have the appearance of an emperor, with a majestic aura on his body, not like a fake, Durd is like a wolf who sees his prey, and his eyes suddenly appear fierce.

"Bold general, dare to offend my Tianwei, dare to fight with me?" Emperor Longwu suddenly challenged.

"Good! Let's see the power of the Ming Emperor today! Durde was overjoyed and ordered the whole army to retreat, giving the Ming army room to go out of the city to face the battle.

Thousands of Eight Banner soldiers turned their horses' heads and retreated two hundred steps, and Duerde also returned to the battle, patiently waiting for Emperor Longwu to leave the city, and Emperor Longwu on the head of the city disappeared, but after waiting for a full quarter of an hour, he did not come out.

The dignified Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, would he break his promise? Durde became more and more anxious, a little impatient, at this time, a cannon suddenly rang out in the city, and then the city gate opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and Emperor Longwu came out with hundreds of men and horses!

After carefully confirming again, it was really Emperor Longwu who came out, not the stand-in he had just changed, and Duerde's heart was beating faster and faster, and he was excited.

"Come closer! Come closer! He secretly muttered in his heart, hoping that Emperor Longwu would get as close as possible, lest he flee back to Tingzhou City just after the battle, but soon after Emperor Longwu left the city, he stopped and began to line up.

It's a fart formation!

As soon as Durde gave an order, thousands of Eight Banner soldiers urged their horses together and rushed towards Emperor Longwu.

"Kill!"

"Catch Zhu Yujian!"

"Don't let him run!"

The Qing army charged violently, the Ming army immediately made a mess, hundreds of people turned around and ran towards the city, Emperor Longwu was still in a daze, but there were several guards next to him rushed up, holding his horse's head and running towards the city.

Pursue!

Cooked ducks want to fly, impossible!

All the Qing troops were red-eyed, rushing to the city gate, the Ming army at the city gate panicked, in order to wait for Emperor Longwu can not close the door, Emperor Longwu because he began to run slowly, so almost zuihou one entered the city, the Qing army behind has chased to within a hundred steps, but the heavy city gate is still wide open, and it is too late to close.

The Ming army at the city gate shouted, threw down the city gate and fled into the city, the cavalry of the Qing army crossed the suspension bridge in a blink of an eye, and Duerde rushed into the city gate first.

There are no ambushes!

When Durde just rushed into the city gate, a thought flashed in his heart, he was afraid that there would be some ambush in the city, but in the blink of an eye, he could see clearly when he came out of the city gate, everything was normal inside the city gate, except for the Ming army who was fleeing, there was nothing.

"Thinking too much." Durde secretly laughed at himself in his heart, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would only hide in the palace and let all the troops protect him, how could he run to act as bait.

Looking up, Emperor Longwu was a hundred steps away, with a golden helmet and golden armor and a big red cloak, which was very conspicuous in the chaotic army.

"Baltay, leave two hundred men to occupy the gates."

This was the commander's instinctive reaction, and Durde subconsciously left two hundred people behind and chased after him with the other Eight Banners.

"So fast!" From a distance, Emperor Longwu seemed to be riding a Dawan horse in the Western Regions, with four hooves like flying, galloping like lightning, and he actually pulled the Qing soldiers farther and farther, if it weren't for the Qing soldiers' superb riding skills, they would almost be thrown off by him.

"Chase! Don't let Zhu Yujian run! "The streets in this Tingzhou city are criss-crossed, densely packed with houses, in case they are lost and hidden by Emperor Longwu, it will be very difficult to find.

The faster and faster he ran, the faster he ran, the infantry around Emperor Longwu had already run away, but there were always more than 20 cavalry guards following him, and the Qing army did not divide its troops to pursue those Ming army routs, compared with the merit of capturing and killing Emperor Longwu, even if it killed a thousand Ming troops, it was insignificant.

Emperor Longwu may not be good at horseback riding, his speed gradually decreased, and Duerde got closer and closer to him, only the big red cloak and the golden gold-lacquered mountain armor in his eyes, and he didn't notice that the streets on both sides were getting narrower and narrower, and all the houses were tightly connected in a row, and there were not even a few alleys in the middle.

There are only fifty steps away from Emperor Longwu, and the Eight Banners soldiers do not need to be ordered by Duerde, they all control the horse with one hand and pick up the bow with the other, they are ready to shoot Emperor Longwu's war horse first, anyway, Emperor Longwu has armor protection on his body, even if a single bow and arrow is shot crooked, he will not be injured and killed by mistake.

Capturing Emperor Longwu alive is the most ideal result!

The road in front of them suddenly narrowed, only followed by a narrow alley, Emperor Longwu and others rushed in, several windows suddenly opened in the alley, and a group of Ming soldiers suddenly stood on the roofs on both sides!

On the roof, in the window, a dozen large logs were pushed down, blocking the narrow alley at once, and then a large pile of thatched grass soaked in oil was pushed down, and a few torches were thrown down.

The fire is blazing!

The surrounding rooftops were full of Ming troops, pushing down clumps of thatch, lighting more torches, and lifting stones to smash several large vats on the side of the road, which were all filled with oil, and in a blink of an eye, they were all over the ground, and the flames were immediately ignited, and they rushed towards the Eight Banners from all directions!

The fire was too big, the smoke was billowing out, and although the war horses of the Eight Banners were well-trained, they were also so frightened that they neighed again and again.

"Hit the mark!" Durde looked up and saw that the Ming soldiers on the roof were burning the house, and the houses on the whole street were beginning to burst into flames......

At the end of the street, the Ming army blocked the intersection with dozens of chicken buses, which were filled with wood soaked in oil, and a little bit of torches immediately formed a wall of fire.

Behind the wall of fire, the Ming army began to lay antler barricades.

In a few small alleys next to it, chicken buses were pushed out and set on fire, blocking all exits. (To be continued......)
