Dolgon's conspiracy made Yang Chao feel chills for the second time, he wanted to get rid of Haoge It was something that even the three-year-old children in the Eight Banners knew, but for this reason, he did not hesitate to match the elite of the Three Eight Eight Banners, which was indeed very courageous.

Yang Chao couldn't help but sigh, this is the hero! If you change Yang Chao, you will definitely not be able to do it.

Hauge's arrival brought the strength of the Eight Banners in Jiangxi to 60,000, and the Ming army that had recently surrendered exceeded 150,000, with a total strength of more than 200,000.

Needless to say, the Eight Banners led by Haoge are elite soldiers, not to mention that they are already elite soldiers in a hundred battles outside the customs, even if Xinding after entering the customs, pursuing Li Zicheng and fighting Zhang Xianzhong, after so many battles, they should be elite soldiers.

Not to mention the quality of individual soldiers, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has the experience of going into battle many times, so it is obvious that the Qing army still has to surpass Yang Chaoliang a lot in military strength.

Therefore, Yang Chao did not say that he sent troops to Nanchang to meet the requirements of the small imperial court, and as soon as Haoge arrived, Yang Chao had to consider how to shrink his troops to protect himself.

And emotionally and strategically, Yang Chao actually didn't want to fight Hauge to the death, because it was obvious that Dorgon wanted to get rid of Hauge with his own hands.

However, Hauge is very active in wanting to fight Yang Chao, no matter how stupid Hauge is, he also has a shrewd staff, it is impossible not to see that this is Dorgon's plan, but Hauge can't help but defeat Yang Chao to prove that he is more powerful than Duoduo and Azig to lure Huo.

In fact, Yang Chao couldn't help but kill Haoge, the eldest son of Huang Taiji, so the two guys who were overwhelmed by their sensuality had a hot battle as soon as they met.

As soon as Haoge arrived in Jiujiang, he didn't even go to Nanchang, and directly led an army of 30,000 to attack Taiping Mansion along the Yangtze River through Chizhou, and at the same time strictly ordered the defenders of Nanchang to launch a new round of offensive.

The Qing army's eight banners marched in two directions, and the momentum was violent, and for a while Yang Chao was really caught off guard, and Lu Mo couldn't resist the enemy. had no choice but to give up Fuliang County, retreat into Huizhou Mansion, and retreat to She County all the way.

Lu Mo was considered an officer who had defeated more battles under Yang Chao, but Lu Mo had developed the same ability. That is, when he fails, he can maintain the majority of his troops, the first is that Yang Chao's army is strict in discipline and will not be defeated, and the second is that he knows how to act step by step.

It's really a person and a method, and they all learn to fight from war. What Wang Pu learned was how to attack and how to fight back in adversity, while Lu Mo learned how to preserve his strength in adversity, and many men were more stable, and what he learned was how not to let his heart feel like adversity.

In the direction of Ningguofu, Haoge was like a rainbow, and soon captured Xuancheng of Ningguofu, completely occupied Ningguofu, and cut off the connection between Huizhou Mansion and other places in Nanzhili. But Haoge turned his horse's head and directly attacked the Taiping Mansion and surrounded Wuhu!

Obviously, Haoge does not intend to compete with Yang Chao for one city and one pool, and he intends to advance to Nanjing as quickly as possible.

This made Yang Chao a little stretched, at this time there were not many troops south of the Yangtze River, only less than 100,000, and most of them were new soldiers, like Wang Pu, many men and the main force led by Zhao Kang, all stationed in the north, mainly to guard against the Qing army from Henan and Shandong, Yang Chao's previous strategic deployment was mainly aimed at the north. To defend the Qing army from moving south, if it counterattacks, it will definitely be a northern expedition.

Who knew that Haoge suddenly came from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and attacked Jiangnan from the flank of Jiangxi, which caught Yang Chao a little off guard.

At this time, it is necessary to transfer Jiangbei troops. Whether or not Jiangbei troops can be transferred, Yang Chao is still very contradictory.

If troops are transferred from the front line of Xuzhou and Suzhou, then Dolgon will be given a chance.

At this time, Yang Chao suddenly received news that the Qing army in Shandong and Henan was dispatched almost simultaneously, not south, but to the north. Dolgon claimed to be going to suppress the rebellion of Jiang Xiang in Shaanxi.

Jiang Xiang was originally a general of the Ming army, Li Zicheng attacked Shanxi, he surrendered Li Zicheng, the Qing army attacked Li Zicheng, he surrendered to the Qing army, and now he himself rebelled.

But even so, Dolgon shouldn't have drawn troops from Henan and Shandong, and he had to squeeze out troops from other places, and he couldn't transfer them here anyway.

"Dolgon, this dog thing is afraid that Lao Tzu will not be able to fight Hauge with peace of mind!"

Yang Chao said with a smile that Dolgon was obviously clearly sending a signal to Yang Chao through military transfers, that is, if Yang Chao fought Haoge, he would not take the opportunity to attack Yang Chao.

"It's strange that I believe you!"

Yang Chao snorted coldly in his heart, he didn't believe that Dolgon had such good intentions, if he easily defeated Hauge, Dolgon would naturally not take the opportunity to take advantage of himself, but if he and Hauge were both defeated, or after defeating Hauge, he suffered heavy losses, and Dolgon would definitely not let go of this opportunity.

But one thing is certain, before he and Hauge split the victory, it is estimated that the rebellion in Shanxi will not be quelled, and Dolgon will always keep his troops in Shanxi, even if Jiang Xiang is defeated, don't you need to suppress the bandits, even if the bandits are almost suppressed, don't you have to rest on the spot.

As for when he and Hauge were evenly matched, Dolgon came to sneak attack? There is no need to consider this problem, Yang Chao believes that Dolgon absolutely does not want to see himself and Hauge fight to the point where it is difficult to solve, because his southward movement has allowed Yang Chao to divide his forces to snipe north, and let Hauge occupy Nanjing.

Rather than taking advantage of the opportunity to go south, it is obvious that Dolgon wants Yang Chao to kill Hauge.

Even though he knew that it would be in Dorgon's best interest to defeat Hauge, Yang Chao still had to follow the procedure that Dolgon had set for him.

This can't be completely blamed on Yang Chao, it's all blamed on Haoge's idiot, how much he wants to defeat Yang Chao and prove his strength.

So Yang Chao sent many men and 30,000 troops from Yangzhou to help.

Hauge attacked Wuhu like a desperate one, and attacked for three days in a row, but under the defense of powerful artillery and birds, he suffered heavy losses but could not climb the city, this guy's combat method was an era behind Duoduo, Duoduo also knew how to use red-coated cannons to take the lead, but he blindly attacked.

But Yang Chao had to retreat.

Because Hauge's grandson is worthy of being Nurhachi's own grandson, he is obviously even more barbaric, and after he can't defeat Wuhu, he actually drives the nearby people to attack the city.

This made Yang Chao very angry and at the same time, he was also very embarrassed, and after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to give Wuhu to Haoge.

After capturing Wuhu, Duoduo marched towards Dangtu non-stop.

When Tu Yangchao can't give up easily, if he gives up here, Haoge will be able to fight all the way to the big victory level like Azig did last time. At that time, Nanjing will inevitably be shaken again.

Garrisoned in Taiping Mansion was Xie Feibu, with 30,000 troops, and after many men returned to help, Yang Chao sent all his troops here. With a total of 60,000 troops, as well as the cooperation of the naval army, Dang Tu will definitely not lose, even if Haoge drives the people to attack the city, Yang Chao must not give up.

When smeared for ten days. Hauge had not yet taken the city, but he still drove the people to attack the city, suffering heavy casualties, and even tens of thousands of people were killed on the worst day.

At this time, Yang Chao was already determined to kill Haoge.

Sun Changfu of Huai'an was once again dispatched to the south, and the troops began to prepare for a decisive battle with Haoge outside the city, and eliminated him with field battles.

And Dolgon has also been showing sincerity, and the Qing troops in Henan and Shandong have not returned to defense, but his sincerity is not enough.

Yang Chao was waiting, waiting for Dolgon to give him enough sincerity.

If there were only many troops such as Nan, Sun Changfu and Xie Fei, they would be able to defeat Haoge in the field. At most, it can only be repulsed, but not annihilated, Yang Chao knows this, and Dolgon also knows this.

Yang Chao was transferred away from the front line only as a backup, and many men and Sun Changfu were actually sending a message to Dolgon, telling Dolgon that he would never act until there was an absolute guarantee.

Sure enough, Dolgon understood what Yang Chao meant, and his assurance soon arrived.

The Eight Banners, which were in charge of attacking Huizhou, stopped the offensive.

But Yang Chao still did not move, and at this time Sun Changfu had already arrived in Nanjing. Proceed to the dangtu.

The Ming army in Huizhou began to withdraw from Huizhou, and Lü Mo took the opportunity to recover Huizhou.

At this time, Yang Chao still did not make any new moves, and Sun Changfu's troops marched to Dangtu and camped outside the city. When the inside and outside of the painting into an angle of confrontation with Hauge.

At this time, the Eight Banners Army, which had retreated into Jiangxi, retreated again, directly withdrew from the previously occupied Fuliang County, and returned to the state before the offensive began.

At this time, Yang Chao finally moved, the sincerity given by Dolgon is enough, Lao Tzu lends you this knife!

Yang Chao hurriedly ordered Zhao Kang to go south.

Previously, Zhao Kang was stationed in Sizhou, and Zheng Yongwang was stationed in Luzhou. Li Wuliu was stationed in Xuzhou, and Wang Pu was stationed in Suzhou, and it was obvious that these people Zheng Yongwang was responsible for the threat from the upstream Anqing direction, Wang Pu was responsible for the threat from the Henan direction, and Li Wuliu was responsible for the threat from the Shandong direction.

Zhao Kang was stationed in Sizhou, so that he could support these three directions first, and then added Sun Changfu and many men in Huaiyang as a backup, this was the strategic deployment of Yang Chao before, and it was very clear that the center of gravity was in Jiangbei, and only Xie Fei and Lu Mo were stationed in Jiangnan, and they were also stationed in Taiping Mansion and Huizhou Mansion to deal with the direction of Jiangxi.

Under the premise that Wang Pu and Li Wuliu could not move their troops, Yang Chao's transfer of Zhao Kang to the south was the safest action.

Zhao Kang's army, as Yang Chao's personal army, dared to be called the absolute elite, well-equipped, needless to say, one person can wear double armor, and the quality of the soldiers is not to mention, all of them are veterans, needless to say, and they have all experienced more than one battle formation, this is Bayala in the Ming army.

But most importantly, because this unit can fight on horseback.

Yang Chao did not have the only large-scale cavalry led by Zhao Kang, and it was almost impossible to annihilate Haoge, which Yang Chao knew very well, and Dolgon knew even better, so he continued to show sincerity, hoping that Yang Chao could send this army south.

Now Dolgon's sincerity was enough, so Zhao Kang led the cavalry back.

Of course, the speed of the cavalry cannot be compared with the infantry, Zhao Kang did not need to take the waterway, he went directly south from Sizhou, went to Jiangpu to cross the river by boat, and it took three days to return to Nanjing.

Then rest in Nanjing for half a day, change the war horse, and then take half a day to arrive at Dangtu.

During the recuperation period, Yang Chao specially told Zhao Kang to defeat the Haoge Department and annihilate the Eight Banners, but it was necessary to capture Haoge alive.

Follow the strategy designed by Dolgon step by step, which makes Yang Chao feel very uncomfortable, so he must not let Dolgon be too comfortable, didn't Dolgon let Haoge die, for this reason, he did not hesitate to match the life of the elite of the 388 Banners, your 30,000 Eight Banners soldiers Lao Tzu was under his command, but Lao Tzu did not kill Haoge.

After Zhao Kang led the cavalry to be stationed outside the city of Dangtu, Haoge was not so arrogant, and he did not dare to divide his troops to plunder and drive the people to attack the city, and the Ming army outside the city began to stalemate. (To be continued.) )
