When Duoduo led his army from Shengjing, he was in high spirits. He believed that he would be able to gain a lot this time, and maybe he would be able to capture Datong in one fell swoop, destroy Datong City, or kill and capture Cao Yue alive. The worst is that it can also cause panic to Daming.

This time, there were more than 20,000 men under the command of Duoduo, 6,000 banners under two white flags, 1,000 people each with blue flags, red flags, and inlaid flags, and more than 11,000 people from the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han army. The Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Army are all elite soldiers, and it can be said that the combat effectiveness of the entire army is very strong.

Cao Yue was the greatest enemy of the Qing Dynasty, and his degree of harm exceeded that of any Ming generals and ministers, even Emperor Chongzhen. Cao Yue is a person who must be killed by the Qing army and civilians, and this time he led the army to attack Datong for a long time, just to eliminate Cao Yue.

In this kind of season, only the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty dared to send troops to fight. The warriors of the Qing Dynasty were all raised in the snow and soldiers, they were very hardy, and they had a lot of experience in marching long distances in the snow and soldiers, which the Han people in the Guannai did not possess at all.

Along the way, he didn't encounter any trouble other than the weather, and crossed the Great Wall with ease, and Duoduo was full of confidence.

Duoduo believed that as long as he could successfully reach the city of Datong, he would be able to catch Cao Yue by surprise and even capture the city. Even if Cao Yue is frustrated, he has a variety of ways to deal with it, no matter what happens this time, he will toss Cao Yue to death.

It is best to kill or capture Cao Yue alive, if it is not possible, then borrow the hand of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to remove Cao Yue.

However, although Dordor was full of self-confidence, the unpredictable bad weather still caused him great trouble.

Several heavy snowfalls in a row slowed down the march of the army, and it lost its way several times, and the severe cold weather had killed at least 100 sergeants and more than 200 horses. It is expected that it will be able to arrive at Datong City in 15 days after departing from Shengjing, but under the influence of heavy snow and road closure, 20 days have passed, and there are still more than 100 miles away from Datong.

However, the heavy snow also brought them some convenience, at least don't worry too much about the Ming army's patrols, in this kind of weather, the Ming army's patrols are basically not seen in the wild. From the grassland to the south, until they crossed the Great Wall, they basically did not encounter any people, which made Duoduo spend some less energy.

Duoduo is also a resourceful person, and he knows that Cao Yue can lead more than 1,000 horsemen to break through Shengjing, mainly relying not on luck, but on ability and courage. When you are an opponent with such a person, you must not be careless at any time, otherwise you may suffer a loss.

Therefore, along the way, he was cautious, sending out a lot of scouts, and destroying anyone he encountered along the way. It wasn't until he crossed the Great Wall and got closer and closer to Datong that Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to be careless, because crossing the Great Wall would indicate that he might fight with the Ming army at any time. This time, Duoduo wanted to catch Cao Yue off guard, so the blockade of the news was the top priority.

If the Ming army had not detected the news of the Qing army's southern attack, then the battle would have been half successful.

But after crossing the line of the Great Wall, Duoduo unconsciously had a sense of foreboding, always feeling that his whereabouts were exposed, and there were Ming patrols or other horses near the army, and followed them along the way.

It was a gut instinct that Dodor had had had fought for many years, and he had not found anything specific about it, and there was no reason for this feeling.

Rather than be careless, Duoduo sent more scouts to the front and to the left and right for at least ten miles to inquire for news. However, the scouts sent out did not find any news, and there was no trace of the Ming army nearby.

Of course, Dodor believed this report, because the movement of people and horses would inevitably leave traces on the snow, and in such weather, it was unrealistic to travel on foot, whether it was an army or a pedestrian, it was necessary to ride horses. In the ten miles of the front and the left and right sides, the horses did not find any traces of this, and finally Doduo thought that this was a hallucination caused by his own heavy worries.

It was dark again, and according to the guide's report, it was about seventy miles away from Datong City. Duoduo decided to find a place to camp and continue his march early tomorrow morning, striving to reach the city of Datong before dark, and catch Cao Yue off guard.

Soon, they found a nice campsite nearby, a village of dozens of families.

The vanguard Han army rushed over and washed this quiet and peaceful village in blood, and the hundreds of people in the village who had just been preparing dinner were all poisoned by Jiannu. All the men and children were killed, and the women were left behind, who would be the object of the nightly lust of the Duoduo and others.

The whole village was harvested, all the livestock were slaughtered, and 20,000 kennu had a good dinner. The officers lived in warm houses, while the sergeants camped outside the village. Soon, the village, which was still full of blood, fell into the silence of the night.

Because it was not far from Datong, the village was heavily defended and the patrols were dense, even in the second half of the night.

Anyone who dares to come close, or an animal, is to be shot.

The exhaustion of running around for days made Duoduo feel sleepy, and after venting his desires in a woman who looked good, Duoduo hid on the warm kang to sleep.

But not long after he lay down, just as he fell asleep, suddenly there was a sharp whistle, followed by a violent explosion.

"What's the situation?" Awakened, Duoduo sat up from the kang and asked loudly about the situation.

"Master, it seems that someone is sneak attacking, and there is a sneak attack by the Ming army!" One of Goshha, who was waiting outside, rushed in with a rolling belt and climbed the mountain, and reported in horror, "The minions have sent someone to check, and it will be rewarded in a while." ”

At this time, the explosion became louder and louder, the sound was getting closer and closer, and the noise followed, and of course more screams.

Duoduo was not stupid, and from this strange noise, he already understood that someone had attacked at night, and he had also used firearms. "It must be Cao Yue, it was Cao Yue who led the army to sneak attack the king's men and horses," Duoduo rushed out while scolding while dressing, "Cao Yue must have discovered the king's men and horses early, and attacked the king at night, this damn Cao Yue, today the king will definitely break him into thousands of pieces." ”

At this moment, a Niu Lu Ezhen rode a horse and rushed to the courtyard where Duoduo lived, and flew down from the horse's back before the horse could stop, but the ground was icy and slippery, and he fell on the ground and fell on the ground, and his mouth hit the ice fiercely, and he couldn't help but scream in pain.

This Niu Lu really didn't care about the pain, and rushed to Duoduo's side with a rolling belt, and reported loudly: "Master, the Ming army is sneak attacking, they don't know what they are driving, they rushed directly into the village, and our patrol cavalry has no time to stop it." Their firearms are fierce, and the men and horses who went to stop them suffered heavy losses!"

At this moment, another series of explosions were heard, and the ground was trembling. In the midst of a loud explosion, a house caught fire, and the flames suddenly turned red on the sky above Dord's head.

"Gather all the centaurs, and you must annihilate this Ming army," Duoduo yelled in a bit of frustration.
