The general offensive soon began.

At this time, when the situation in Tucheng was ten miles east of the city, Haoge's 30,000 troops were camped against the water.

To the west of Haoge is Dangtu City, which has an army of 30,000 led by Xie Fei, and in the north of Haoge there are many male troops, which are also 30,000 troops, and in the east is Sun Changfu's department, and Zhao Kang's cavalry is everywhere, sometimes in the city, sometimes in the north, and sometimes in the south.

Hauge is surrounded on three sides, and to the south of him is the Auntie River, so it can be said that Hauge has been besieged.

A Haoge asked Yang Chao to dispatch four total troops, 120,000 troops, if he was not surrounded and strangled to death, it would be too bad.

In total, starting from the north, many male artillery began to bombard.

Since Haoge's tactics are still in the era of cold weapons, then don't blame Yang Chao for bullying him with cannons, the cannons that were placed on Dangtu City before were all sent to many male troops at this time, and Hu Quan, the artillery chief soldier who came from Nanjing, personally commanded him, began to bombard Haoge's camp non-stop.

This kind of civil structure of the camp was certainly not designed to defend against the red-coated artillery, and with the bombardment of hundreds of red-coated cannons, there was soon a gap in the camp.

At the same time as the artillery bombardment, Sun Changfu's troops in the east began to approach Haoge, and the 30,000-strong army was arranged into thirty phalanxes, each of which was only eighty paces away, which was exactly the best range for the birds, and if Haoge escaped from these air raids, he would inevitably be hit hard by the birds.

Thirty thousand-person phalanxes lined up, which is a full seven miles, just enough to connect with many male divisions, without giving Hauge any chance to escape.

And the cavalry of Zhao Kang's department also responded behind Sun Changfu, and could deal a fatal blow to the Qing army that fled from Sun Changfu at any time, and Xie Feibu in the city also began to go out of the city, and even the fleet led by Jiang Fan appeared at the mouth of the river, but it was a pity that the sister-in-law river was just a small river. This kind of sea ship can't get in at all, otherwise it will directly approach the back of Hauge's camp and shell, and Hauge will not be able to gain a foothold at all.

"Keep your eyes open. Don't let Hauge go! ”

Many of the male cavalry galloped behind Sun Changfu from time to time, although Hauge appeared to be extremely stubborn. There were many gaps in his camp, and he would rather fill the back with sandbags than give up his camp, but in the face of an enemy four times his size, he would probably die worse when he went out.

But the order that Zhao Kang got was that he had to capture Haoge alive, which was not only an order, but also an opportunity that Zhao Kang wanted to get, although he had successfully become the chief soldier at the same time as Li Wuliu and others. But when it comes to military exploits, Zhao Kang always feels inferior.

Needless to say, Li Wuliu is now in all directions, the Tiecheng Array is in his hands, and he can have an advantage in field battles with the Qing army, and Wang Pu's previous performance does not need to be said, and even many men have the credit of killing Duoduo, but Zhao Kang has always followed Yang Chao's buttocks, and it is said that he was promoted by his cousin's nepotism. It's not a glorious thing after all.

So Zhao Kang needs an uncontroversial military industry to dispel those disgraceful doubts, and Haoge's weight is obviously enough. So after Yang Chao handed over this task to him, he was very attentive, even if Hauge had not yet shown signs of breaking through, he was still on guard and must not let Hauge escape.

"My lord, forgive me for talking too much, so I may not be able to catch Hauge?"

A rider following closely next to him responded.

Zhao Kang couldn't help but stop the horse: "How can you see it?" ”

The cavalry general pointed to the Hauge camp: "Your Excellency, you see, although Hauge camped on his back, he built three pontoon bridges over the river. It can be withdrawn at any time. Hauge is also a veteran, and he will definitely not leave a way out. ”

Zhao Kang said: "I naturally know this. So we must bite them and force them to abandon the camp and retreat now. The pursuit is the business of our cavalry. ”

The cavalry general sighed: "Our army is cavalry, Haoge is also cavalry, and the sister-in-law river goes south to Wuhu, and it can't be said that a horse is flat, but the official road is unimpeded, and it may not be pursued." ”

Zhao Kang sighed: "But I can't abandon the battle, what if Haoge escapes from the east?" ”

The reason why Zhao Kang chose to deploy in the east before was to ensure that Duoduo could not flee to the east, there were many elite male divisions in the north, and there were continuous mountains to the north, and the Yangtze River to the west, so Haoge could only break through from the east or cross the river to the south.

But if you want to cross the river when Zhao Kang's heavy troops are approaching, it is tantamount to looking for death, and the reason for hitting halfway Zhao Kang is very clear, he wishes that Haoge was so stupid.

The rider said: "Why don't you send the elite to sneak across the Aunt-in-law River and ambush in the middle of the road, without much effort, you will definitely be able to capture Haoge alive." ”

Zhao Kang nodded: "Yes, yes, I said that you guys who have read books have brains." ”

Random Zhao Kang ordered: "Each team of first-class elite soldiers will be assembled immediately, and this officer will take the elite to cross the river." ”

The rider hurriedly said: "Adults can't, how can the adult's daughter be in danger easily, why don't you leave this matter to the standard." ”

Zhao Kang shook his head firmly: "Hmph, the one who captures Haoge alive must be me Zhao Kang!" ”

The cavalry will no longer speak, and it will become a battle with the official.

Zhao Kang said: "Li Yuanyin, you just stay here, and when the official captures Haoge, he will also give you a credit!" ”

The rider said: "Mark Lord Xie to carry it." ”

Soon the elite cavalry in each team was assembled, and there were only 1,000 people in total, and the first-class elite soldiers meant that they had been on the battlefield more than three times, and then they had to go through the assessment of martial arts to be qualified to be called first-class elite soldiers, and only then were they eligible to get the salary of the team.

"My lord, there is a word under the mark!"

Li Yuanyin suddenly shouted at Zhao Kang, who couldn't wait to leave, at this time.

"Tell me!"

Zhao Kang was quite impatient.

Li Yuanyin said: "All cavalry and infantry fighters, if they encounter mountains and forests, dangerous obstacles, and places of squatting, they will be defeated and will not have to fight." Those who want to fight must have an easy place, advance and retreat without hindrance, and the battle will be won. The law says: If you change places, you will use riding. ”

Zhao Kang said: "To put it simply, the official didn't understand. ”

Li Yuanyin said: "If you can't fight in the mountains and forests, adults must remember to choose the official road to lurk!" ”

Zhao Kang said: "Got it." ”

After saying that, he immediately beat his horse and left, and went east to a village called Daqiao Township, where there happened to be a bridge to cross the river.

Henan.

Behind the Hauge camp, this is a flat river flat, which looks like it has been reclaimed, but it has been abandoned, caused by the war in the past few years. Too many people have fled.

Hauge's camp stretched for five miles, camped along the river, and three pontoon bridges were built. And on this side of the river, there is also a water village to guard the bridgehead.

Hauge's water village is very balanced. Zhao Kang will not risk using his own cavalry to attack, he doesn't need to worry, anyway, if Haoge crosses the river from here, he has the opportunity to sneak attack, and he will also be beaten by one and a half.

Therefore, the most important thing for Zhao Kang is to lurk well, five miles away from Henan, there is a village, and the people have long fled without a trace. The Qing army looted the village, but did not send troops to occupy it, Zhao Kang happened to hide here, and at the same time sent people to quietly keep an eye on Haoge, if he found Haoge crossing the river, he would fire arrows!

The men and horses were all hidden, but Zhao Kang couldn't be quiet, and climbed to a big tree outside the village to watch the battle situation carefully.

I could faintly see that there was already a battle on the other side of the river.

Many men, Xie Fei and Sun Changfu approached on three sides, and they were already so broken that the Haoge camp could not provide protection, and these three people still had small cannons in their hands. Approaching the camp to attack, the head of Hauge's archers could not be raised, and they could only let the opponent approach step by step.

"Master. Withdraw! Before the Ming army posted it, it was withdrawn. After the slave stays and breaks off, you must not have anything to do, master. ”

In the Hauge barracks, a general in red armor said, his tone was full of sadness, they had fallen to such a point.

"Hilgen, you are the old minister of the first king. How can you say such a thing, don't you know that this king can't be withdrawn? This king came to Jiangnan is a way to advance and retreat. ”

Hauge sighed, he can come out to lead the troops, how difficult it is only he knows, his only chance is to use the last elite soldier left to him by Huang Taiji to fight a brilliant enough victory. In this way, he can continue to fight against Dorgon when he returns.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the days to come will only be dark.

The Dorgon brothers controlled the government and manipulated military power. Seeing that all the warriors in the Eight Banners were commanded by the two brothers, Duoduo and Azig, the power in Hauge's hands became weaker and weaker. One day, this only strength will be lost, if you can't take advantage of the fact that these veterans can still wear mobile armor, can afford to hold a knife, and shoot arrows to seize the opportunity to make a meritorious achievement, I am afraid that I will have to be trampled under the feet of Dorgon in this life.

Hilgen was not angry: "Master, don't you still understand?" Dolgon asked He Luohui to restrain us everywhere, and when the battle came to this, he kept holding our cannons, and he also transferred to Nanchang under the pretext that he wanted us to die. ”

Haug sighed and didn't speak, he didn't know that someone wanted him dead, but that was the price he had to pay.

The reason why he attacked Wuhu and other places regardless of casualties, and now he is fighting to the death and not retreating, is that he wants to take down the city and capture the artillery, without the cannon, what can he do if he hits the city of Nanjing, he can only look at the city and sigh.

"He Luohui!"

Hauge pressed his teeth and squeezed out word by word between his teeth, this person made him hate him to the core, He Luohui was his slave of Hauge, but he reported him to Dolgon, so that Dolgon found an opportunity to suppress him and couldn't raise his head.

It's easy to get out of the mountains, go to Shaanxi to suppress bandits, go to Sichuan to attack Zhang Xianzhong, Dolgon has always let this dog slave follow him, for fear that he will make great contributions, share his merits, and contain him and pull his hind legs. When he arrived in Jiangnan, he even intensified, and even detained his cannon in Jiujiang privately, and gave Tan Tai all the cannons to Tan Tai under the pretext of asking for help from Nanchang.

"I swear to kill this thief!"

Hauge's hand slammed against the table.

"Master, let's go!"

Suddenly, the camp opened, and a burly and unusual man broke in, his iron armor was red, and his face and hands were covered with blood.

"Aobai, what's wrong?"

Hilgen couldn't help but ask.

Ao Bai sighed: "The Ming army has come in, and it can't be stopped." ”

Ao Bai said a little frustrated, after so many years of fighting, I have never seen such a Ming army, no matter how you impact, their military formation always remains intact, sometimes for the sake of the neat military formation, they will even give up the great opportunity to pursue, so that they can't lure the enemy deep.

"Master, let's go!"

Hilgen continued to persuade.

Hauge sighed, stood up, and drew his knife.

"This king can't swallow this breath!"

"Master?"

"Master!"

Hilgen and Aobai exclaimed at the same time.

Hauge's knife had fallen, slashing off a corner of the table.

"Let's go, the whole army retreats, go to Jiujiang to kill the thief of He Luohui, and then return to Beijing with this king, I want to see what he Dolgon can do to me!"

The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this, they had long wanted to do this, but their master had been hesitating, and now it seemed that they were planning to go back and fight with Dolgon, and in recent years, they who were slaves were also holding back their grievances, and they strongly supported Hauge to fight with the Dorgon brothers, and if they fought at that time, Hauge was the Great Khan and the emperor, so why suffer from the evil anger now.

Haoge walked out of the barracks, and there were already sounds of fighting everywhere in the company camp, but although it was a company camp, in fact, several camps were still separated from each other, and only a long narrow passage could pass through.

Someone had already led the war horse, Hauge mounted the war horse, and with a wave of his hand, more than a hundred guards followed him and set off.

Behind their camp is the pontoon bridge, after Hauge beat his horse through the pontoon bridge, he couldn't help but look back, there are some soldiers who are evacuating later, how can they withdraw 20,000 people, leaving Hilgen broken, Ao Bai commanded the retreat, it should not hurt his vitality, with 20,000 people, Hauge can still fight with Dolgon.

But suddenly Hauge saw that to the east, there were boats on the river of his sister-in-law.

This is not unusual for the most ordinary fishing boats, and Hauge has robbed hundreds of fishing boats by building a pontoon bridge.

But Hauge suddenly saw the boat coming towards the pontoon, and the guards on the pontoon bridge had already exchanged hands with them, but the group of people were very brave, and they rushed onto the pontoon bridge in the rain of arrows, and then clashed left and right, and occupied a place, and then started to open the pontoon.

The three pontoon bridges Hauge saw the pontoon bridge to the east, a mile away from the pontoon bridge he had walked, and after seeing those people tearing open the pontoon bridge, he did not stop, and went straight to his own pontoon bridge.

Hauge immediately stopped crossing the river, and he was sad and indignant, when could such sailors not take him seriously, he would not leave, but to see how these sailors could tear down a pontoon bridge before his eyes.

"Master, let's go!"

One of the guards urged.

Hauge ignored it.

"Master, the Ming army over there has also been killed."

Hauge turned around and found that there were also boats rowing this way downstream, and he immediately understood in his heart that the sailors of the two Ming armies had planned it a long time ago to cut off their back route.

"All stay! If we don't hold the pontoon bridge, our army will have no way back! ”

Hauge was adamant about that.

Seeing coldly that more than a dozen small boats were already forty steps away from the river, the Eight Banners on the pontoon bridge began to shoot arrows, but the other party used a shield to cover it tightly, and did not row, so he let the boat float over slowly.

He had been drifting ten paces in the rain of arrows, when suddenly the people in the small boats jumped into the river, and Duoduo was puzzled for a moment, but suddenly he saw that there was a fire in every boat.

"Let's go!"

Only then did Duoduo panic, shout, and couldn't care about the army behind him, and rushed across the river with the only remaining more than 1,000 people. (To be continued)
