"Where to go Tartar, stay for your life!"

Seeing that Sonamu was about to escape, Wang Huzi shouted and slapped his horse to chase after him.

When Bauerdaf and two hundred guards tried to step forward to stop him, a large number of black dots suddenly swept up from the Ming army's formation, and then fell down, Bauerdav saw it clearly, these black dots were clearly iron bumps with wooden handles, and black smoke was still emitting from the ends.

"Dragon King Cannon!"

"Fuck, it's the Dragon King Cannon!"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

When Wang Pu conquered Mongolia, the Tartars of the Horqin Department had seen the terrifying power of the Ming army's dragon king cannon in Sanbulachuan, and the bloody scene at that time still makes many Tartars remember it vividly.

Before Balduff finished speaking, violent explosions sounded continuously, and the two hundred guards were blown up on their backs in an instant, and flesh and blood flew sideways.

"Hah!"

With a loud shout, the king's beard urged his horse to rush through the smoke-filled battlefield to pursue Sonamu.

Not far ahead, Sonamu was scurrying around on his mount, and the earth-shattering explosion just now had already frightened his mount so much that it was no longer under human control.

It is impossible for the Mongolian cavalry to know in advance that the Ming army will come to attack and bombard with the Dragon King Cannon, so it is even more impossible to plug the ear holes of the war horse with cotton regiments in advance to prevent fright, but the Ming cavalry has made sufficient preparations, not only wrapped the horse's hooves with cotton cloth, covered the horse's mouth with a muzzle, but also blocked the ear holes of the war horse with cotton.

This violent explosion did not have any effect on the Ming cavalry, but it frightened a large number of Mongolian war horses, including Sonam's mount, if it weren't for Sonamu's riding skills, he would have been knocked off his horse by the chaotic shrug just now.

"Drive!"

The king's beard urged the horse to gallop forward, and Sonamu was already close at hand.

Suddenly, the bright saber has been raised high, the king's beard rode like a fly, the wind swept through the side of the horse, the high saber suddenly slashed, a cold cold light flashed from Sonam's neck, and the next moment, Sonamu's head had been thrown forward, and the corpse that lost its head would soon be thrown off the horse in panic......

"The prince is dead!"

"The prince has been killed!"

"Run, the prince has been killed......"

In the chaos, I don't know which Mongolian Tartar shouted first, and the nearby Mongolian Tartars suddenly began to scratch, and this tickling soon spread, and the Mongolian Tartars, who had not organized an effective resistance, soon began to fall apart, and the entire battalion had been stirred into a mess by the two thousand cavalry of the Central Army.

I heard that Sonamu was dead, and I didn't know how many cavalry the Ming army had come in the dark, but I heard the sound of killing everywhere, and the figure of the Ming cavalry everywhere, and the Mongolian Tatars in the camp had no intention of fighting, so they grabbed the war horse and turned over and rode on, and those who did not grab the war horse also scattered their Cairo legs and fled.

Wang Huzi led the cavalry of the Central Army to chase after him until dawn.

Along the way, the Mongolian Tatars lay down corpses, rivers of blood, and thousands of people died, the only thing that made Wang Huzi feel unhappy was that the two Mongolian women died, it was Sonam's own hands, obviously, Sonamu had anticipated the tragic fate of these two women, so he would rather kill them than let them become captives of the Han Chinese.

The next evening, Dolgon with the Eight Banners army Kankan entered Liaocheng, seeing that it was getting late, Dolgon was about to give the order to enter the city and station, the solemn Duoduo suddenly rode his horse in front of him: "Fourteenth brother, something happened to Sonam." ”

Dolgon's heart jumped, and he asked in a deep voice, "Speak slowly, what's wrong?" ”

Duoduo said: "Last night, Sonamu was raided by the cavalry of the Ming army, the whole army collapsed, Sonamu was also killed, and more than half of the 20,000 cavalry in his department were lost, and only less than 10,000 people fled to Dongping Prefecture to join the cavalry brigades such as Banktu, Tagar, Chahan, and Manzhu Xili stationed there!" ”

"Old Fifteen, what did you say!?" Azig, who was standing next to Dolgon, suddenly turned blue with anger when he heard this, and said angrily, "Sonam, this idiot, didn't know how to strengthen the vigilance when he camped at night, and he was actually successfully attacked by the Ming army!" Pig, this idiot of Sonamu is even more stupid than a pig, so stupid! ”

Dolgon asked quietly, "Fifteenth brother, what is the reaction of Chahan, Manzhu Xili, and Tagar?" ”

Duoduo condensed and said, "Chahan, Tagar, and Banktu were so angry that they were furious, clamoring to capture Jining, and then slaughter the whole city to avenge Sonam. ”

Dolgon's expression was gloomy, and after a moment of silence, he said: "It is a bit unexpected that Sonam's 20,000 cavalry are so undefeated, but this guy is already a wreck among the Horqin tribes, and it is good to die, just enough to pour some oil on the Horqin tribe and incite their hatred!" ”

Duoduo said in a dark voice: "Now the plan of the fourteenth brother can be implemented smoothly. ”

"That's ......" Dolgon thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Fifteenth brother, you will rush to Dongping Prefecture with two thousand warriors with white flags to join Manzhu Xili and them, and say that it is my intention, and at all costs, you must capture Jining City before Wang Pu's reinforcements arrive, and then slaughter the city to avenge Sonamu!" ”

"Wow!"

Duoduo said yes, turned and rode away.

■■■

Jining, the general army.

Wang Huzi threw a bloody head at Scarface's feet, and said proudly: "General, the head you want has brought you back." ”

Scarface strode forward, reached out and patted Wang Huzi's shoulder heavily, and said happily: "Huzi, it's good." ”

Wang Huzi scratched his bald head and said quietly: "This is all the credit of the brothers. ”

Scarface's expression became solemn, and he asked in a low voice, "Beard, how are the brothers killed or wounded?" ”

Wang Huzi's face also darkened, and he responded: "More than fifty people died, but they didn't die in vain, and the Mongolian Tatars also died three or four thousand!" can exchange more than 50 lives for 3,000 or 4,000 Mongolian Tatars, this deal is worth it! ”

Scarface patted Wang Hu's shoulder with a solemn expression, and said solemnly: "When Hou Ye's army arrives in Jining, Lao Tzu must personally ask Hou Ye for credit, all the brothers who went out of the city to steal the camp last night are good, and all of them have a heavy reward!" Especially the more than 50 brothers who died in the war, their families must pay heavy tribute! ”

Wang Huzi hurriedly kicked his feet and saluted the military salute, and said loudly: "Thank you for your humble duties, for the brothers!" ”

■■■

In Dongping Prefecture, in addition to the 20,000 cavalry of Sonam, the remaining 80,000 cavalry of the Horqin Department are all stationed here.

In this southern expedition, Dolgon mobilized a total of 180,000 Mongolian cavalry, of which 100,000 Korqin cavalry were the left wing, and went south along the right bank of the canal, and the rest of the Khalkha, Chahar, Tushetu and other Mongolian cavalry were the right wing, and went south along the left bank of the canal, and are now stationed in the Yuncheng area.

Dolgon obviously learned the lesson of the last battle of Liaocheng, and no longer let the Mongolian cavalry and the Jiannu Eight Banners form a group, but let the Mongolian cavalry act separately, and after the division of troops, the Mongolian cavalry could plunder and supply by itself, which greatly reduced the burden of grain and grass on the Jiannu army.

Moreover, the Mongolian cavalry has a high degree of mobility, so there is no need to worry about being broken by the Ming army.

Dongping Prefecture, Mongolian camp.

Prince Yu Duoduo sat high in the big tent, Chahan, Manzhu Xili, Banktu, Sogar and other four Korqin princes rushed in, kneeling on the ground to salute, although the title of Zhu Xili The four of them are also princes, Duoduo is only a prince, but there is a difference between this prince and his prince!

Although the four of them are also princes, in front of Duoduo, the Prince of Yu, they are just four minions.

What's more, Dolgon intends to cultivate Duoduo, and not long ago, he made Duoduo and his uncle regent become the second person in the status of the slave after Dorgon, which can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand, as for the slave chief Fulin who is far away in Shengjing, in the eyes of Dolgon and the Duoduo brothers, it is just a decoration.

Duoduo solemnly motioned to Banketu and the other four Korqin princes to take their seats, and then said in a painful tone: "The death of Prince Sonamu is not only the loss of the Korqin Department, but also the loss of the Qing Empire, the regent was very sad after hearing the news, and strictly ordered the king to lead two thousand iron horsemen with white flags to help in the battle, and the regent also said that he would break Jining at all costs and slaughter the whole city to pay tribute to the souls of Sonamu and the fallen warriors!" ”

"That's right, break Jining, don't leave the chicken dog!"

"I'm going to kill him and he's going to bleed!"

Banktu and Chahan clenched their iron fists at the same time, roaring angrily, Sogar's expression was also eager to try, only a trace of imperceptible confusion flashed between Zhu Xili's eyebrows, with his understanding of Dolgon, Dolgon didn't seem to be a hasty person, how could he make the decision to storm Jining at all costs?

Duoduo noticed the subtle change in Manzhu Xili's expression, and asked in a condensed voice, "Prince Durhan, do you have your opinion?" ”

"Uh......" Man Zhu Xili hurriedly responded, "Everything will be done according to the master's wishes, break Jining, and the chickens and dogs will not be left." ”

"Good!" Duoduo took the case and said loudly, "A few years ago, when the Qing army besieged Songshan, Fan Wencheng once made a statement to the regent, saying that if the city is attacked, it must be surrounded by three and one, and leaving the enemy to escape can break the army's morale and make it not trapped in the beast, but this time the king decided not to leave the Ming army any way to live. ”

"Yes, you must not let go of a Nanming barbarian."

"Kill, don't even think about running."

Banktu and Chahan echoed in unison.

Duoduo's eyes swept over the faces of the four Banketu, and said in a deep voice: "Banketu attacked the east gate, Sogar attacked the west gate, Chahan attacked the south gate, this king and Manzhu Xili attacked the north gate, and the 100,000 army launched an attack from the four gates at the same time, and attacked Jining with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai. ”

■■■

Huai'an, Matou Town.

Matou Town is the intersection of Hongze Lake and the canal, but also the intersection of the canal and the Yellow River, since ancient times, the Yellow River channel is extremely unstable, sometimes through Shandong into the Bohai, sometimes through Jiangsu into the East China Sea, at this time the Yellow River through Huai'an into the Yellow Sea.

According to Liu Ruye's battle plan, Shi Lang's sailors should divide their troops with the Central Army.

After dividing the troops, Wang Pu led the central army to continue northward and arrived at Jining to reinforce Scarface, while Shi Lang led the mixed battalion of 5,000 sailors to protect Tang Sheng along the Yellow River out of the Yellow Sea, and then went north along the coastline, to the mouth of Dagu to trace the Wei River and go up to Tianjin! Jiannu's troops were limited, and it was impossible to leave too many troops to garrison Tianjin, Tang Sheng's mixed battalion had the help of the naval division, and the naval division had hundreds of Francophone cannons, so it was not a problem to capture Tianjin.

After Tang Sheng and Shi Lang captured Tianjin, they immediately took advantage of the weakness to attack Yanjing, and at the same time, the 40,000 cavalry of the Red Lady will also rush to Yanjing to join Tang Sheng and Shi Lang's mixed battalion, and then set up a net on the front line of Yanjing to intercept and kill Mongolia and Jiannu to defeat the army, of course, there must be a prerequisite for all this, that is, Daddy Li's horse plague plan can work, and Wang Pu's central army must hold on until Shi Lang captures Yanjing.

The night breeze is blowing, and it is as cold as water.

Wang Pu stood solemnly at the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the vast Hongze Lake in the distance, when heavy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the cabin, and then the loud voices of Tang Sheng and Shi Lang sounded: "Report!" ”

Wang Pu retracted his gaze and responded indifferently: "Come in." ”

Tang Sheng and Shi Lang entered in response to the call and saluted Wang Pu.

Wang Pu nodded happily and asked, "Are you ready?" ”

Tang Sheng and Shi Lang responded in unison: "Back to the Hou Ye, they are all ready." ”

Wang Pu said: "Tell me about the task of your trip. ”

Shi Lang said: "The task of the lowly and the sailor is to transport the mixed battalion to the north and take advantage of the situation to attack Yanjing. ”

Tang Sheng said: "The task of the lowly and mixed battalion is to take advantage of the situation to attack Tianjin and Yanjing, and cut off the back road of Jiannu. ”

"Hmm." Wang Pu nodded, and said in a condensed voice, "Ben Hou added two more, first, it is already September now, the weather is gradually getting colder, once it enters October, the canal may freeze at any time, therefore, your actions must be fast, and you must not be entangled with the enemy too much along the way, including Tianjin, if you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, bypass it, and take Yanjing directly!" ”

Tang Sheng and Shi Lang agreed: "Yes!" ”

Wang Pu said: "Second, Yanjing is the former capital of my Ming Dynasty, and the Forbidden City is the symbol of my Ming Empire and the treasure of the Han nation!" Tang Sheng, Shi Lang, it's best not to let the Forbidden City be destroyed in the flames of war! ”

Tang Sheng and Shi Lang replied again: "Yes." ”

Wang Pu waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys go." ”

"Horn!"

Tang Sheng and Shi Lang saluted Wang Pu again and turned to leave.

A moment later, Tang Sheng led the 5,000 soldiers of the mixed battalion to start boarding the ship, Tang Sheng's mixed battalion was different from the mixed battalion of Scarface stationed in Jining, the mixed battalion of Scarface had 2,000 musketeers, 2,000 cavalry, and 1,000 pikemen, while Tang Sheng's mixed battalion only had 1,000 musketeers and 4,000 pikemen, but there were two Hongyi cannons.

Obviously, the two Hongyi cannons of Tang Sheng's mixed battalion were specially used to attack the city, and the city walls of Yanjing City could not be opened, and it was more than enough to be used to blast open the city gates.

Half an hour later, after Tang Sheng's mixed battalion boarded the ship, Shi Lang's sailor fleet broke away from the brigade and turned eastward, sailing along the Yellow River towards the vast sea......
