Kong Youde was a little stunned with the invitation sent from the envoy, he didn't put it down for a long time, and his thoughts fluctuated in his heart, what do you mean? The two armies are fighting, and they have only heard of the war book, and they have not heard of the invitation, and they want to negotiate peace? It's not right, looking at the Yangzhou city defense, it doesn't look like it, is it possible that you want to abandon the Ming Dynasty and surrender to the Qing Dynasty? What's more, this invitation can have the name of Shi Kefa, anyone in the Ming Dynasty can descend to the Qing Dynasty, but that Shi Kefa is absolutely impossible, the dignified Ming Court's military department is still a book, that is a character who is the first assistant, it is not easy to become famous, and it is impossible to be unguaranteed in the evening.

It may be that he wants to delay time and buy more time for the reinforcement of Yangzhou's city defense, but if you think about it carefully, it is not like Duoduo ordered him to send troops from Sizhou to the south, due to the rainy month, the march is very slow, and it has been almost two months now.

Either they are waiting for reinforcements, but according to the Malay News and Liu Liangzuo, there is almost no possibility that the Ming court can rescue Yangzhou, and no matter how much time is delayed, it will be in vain.

Kong Youde was puzzled, put down the invitation and walked back and forth in front of Aobai, his old face was tense, no matter what the Ming army was thinking, there must be a reply whether to go or not.

If you don't go, it's a sign of weakness, and if you go, before you find out the intentions of the Ming army, the Lord will risk his life to go to the banquet.

If you abandon it, but if someone really comes to negotiate peace or has the intention of surrendering, it will not be a good opportunity, and it is too late to go to Sizhou to ask Prince Yu Duoduo.

Ao Bai really couldn't stand Kong Youde's twisting and hesitating look, and slapped his thigh, "In my opinion, don't go, just fight the war, and when the battle is over, let my soldiers eat in Yangzhou City for three days, and I can use him to invite."

Kong Youde waved his hand, "No, no, I'm worried that it's not this, it's just strange that at this critical juncture, is Ming Jun trying to do this?" ”

Ao Bai snorted, "I'm afraid, who dares to block the way of my Eight Banners warriors in the whole world"

Kong Youde is too lazy to fight with him, how do he know that there are people outside the sky, although the soldiers of the Eight Banners can dominate the northern country, it is nothing more than relying on Li Zicheng to fight that pot of porridge, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs that is really a big leak, and the northern country has many plains, a horse and a flat river, the most powerful battle against the Mongolian cavalry, and now into the south of the Yangtze River, that is the water network vertical and horizontal, staggered, and the Ming army and the navy are invincible in the world, with the Yangtze River natural danger, at this time also boasted that the Eight Banners soldiers are invincible in the world, and they are not afraid of the wind blowing their tongues.

Fortunately, Dolgon is not a mediocre talent, and almost all of the armies of the southern expedition are based on the Eight Banners of the Han Army, supplemented by the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

Kong Youde also understands a truth, the Han people have clouds, the moon is full, everything is at the peak, then it is not far from decay, and we must not be proud and complacent, especially in this kind of war, it should be even worse.

Kong Youde ignored Aobai, and suddenly saw him stunned, glanced outside the tent, there was no expression on his face, and shouted casually, "Someone, did the sentry ride return to the camp last night?" ”

The work was not large, and a man dressed in civilian clothes with the surname of the Han people walked into the big tent, "See the prince, the small group of ten people has just returned from the camp"

Kong Youde turned back to Shuai and asked, "What happened to the Ming army camp?" ”

"Back to the prince, everything in Yangzhou City is the same, but since last night's evening, a large number of military horses have suddenly moved in the Ming army camp stationed outside the city, and it seems that there is an action, and the intention is unknown."

When Kong Youde heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought, and suddenly he opened his eyes, as if he had thought of something, waved his hand at the sentry horse, and signaled him to retreat first, "Probe again, closely monitor the movements of the Ming army outside the city, and report to me every other hour."

The Sentinel retreated.

Ao Bai turned his head sideways and asked, "King Dingnan, I seem to understand."

The corners of Kong Youde's mouth lifted and he smiled, "Oh? What do you understand? ”

"Could it be that the Ming army imagined the opportunity of the banquet to distract us, but he secretly attacked my camp?"

Kong Youde raised his head and smiled, "Of course not, this kind of little trick three-year-old doll can guess, the three large battalions of our army are both offensive and defensive, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is better if he doesn't come, if he comes, I will let him come and go, and he will definitely not come to my camp."

Ao Bai shook his head and said sullenly, "If you don't rush my camp, where will you rush?" Could it be that he still wants to bypass us to fight Sizhou, but Sizhou is hundreds of miles away, and there are 120,000 elite soldiers of Prince Yu stationed there, so it's unlikely."

Kong Youde walked quickly to the sand table, only glanced at it, and said, "Shi Kefa didn't have the courage to attack me, let alone Sizhou, you and I have been stationed here for almost ten days, neither fighting nor retreating, why?" There is a lack of siege artillery, and he Shi Kefa probably guessed it, so I expected that the Ming army paralyzed me like this banquet, and the purpose was to take advantage of my unpreparedness to attack my baggage, and the invitation card said that at noon the day after tomorrow, a banquet would be held at the foot of Jiming Mountain, if my guess was correct, the Ming army would definitely attack my baggage tonight or tomorrow night."

Ao Bai suddenly sighed, "It has been raining for days, my artillery is trapped more than 200 miles away, and I can't travel 20 or 30 miles a day, if this is the case, I have underestimated this old master, then according to what you say, the banquet is fake, and it is true to take the opportunity to destroy our army's artillery?" ”

Kong Youde carefully observed the sand table, and his fingers kept crossing the march route of the mountain artillery team, as if he was looking for an important place, "Whether it's true or not, we will go to this banquet, and at the same time, we can also plan it, Ao Zuoling, you see, it is reported that our army's artillery is now transported here, look at this route, which place is the most suitable for ambushes?" ”

Ao Bai leaned over and followed Kong Youde's finger to take a closer look, but when he saw Kong Youde's finger stop, he hurriedly said, "Pinggu, do you mean that the army will attack our army's baggage in Pinggu?" ”

Kong Youde is full of confidence, "Nine times out of ten, here is surrounded by mountains on both sides, only a trail passes through the valley, once my artillery team enters the valley, it is too difficult to retreat, if the Ming army wants to set up an ambush, this is an excellent place, count the foot strength, the artillery team enters this valley in this valley in this day or two"

Ao Bai nodded, "Well, it makes sense, but with such a long-distance attack, he is not afraid that we will take advantage of the situation to take Yangzhou City?" So lose the other? ”

Kong Youde was triumphant, "That's why he invited me to the banquet the day after tomorrow, but in fact, he secretly went to Chen Cang"

"So how do we deal with it?" Our artillery team is escorted by 8,000 elite soldiers, and if Shi Kefa really hears about it, at least more than 20,000 people will have to go, then Yangzhou will not be empty."

Kong Youde smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "No, no, this is by no means Shi Kefa's approach, the sentry also said, there is no movement in Yangzhou City, but the champion army outside the city is moving, I heard when I went south, this Wang Lanping likes long-distance sneak attacks the most, and this time it seems to be no exception, it is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, I Kong has Derong horse all his life, how can this means hide from me, come to someone, pass on my general order, and raise the account"

The drums of the big tent of the Chinese army in the Qing camp rumbled, and after a while, the generals of various departments came one after another, gathered under Kong Youde's tent, and waited for the dispatch.

According to Kong Youde's general plan, the 20,000 elites in the Qing army camp immediately set off, went to meet the artillery team, and set up an ambush at Pingshan Pass in advance, as long as the Ming army dared to go, there must be no return, in addition, the whole army entered the combat state, as long as the battle of Pingshan started, all the soldiers of the Qing army camp will be killed together, attacking Wang Lanping's camp, two-pronged, no matter which place is successful, it is a devastating blow to the champion army.

In addition, Kong Youde sent people to step up urging the Zhenghongqi Division, which was fighting fiercely with the Zheng Sen Department of the Ming Army on the Huai'an battlefield, to quickly end the battle, join the Yangzhou battlefield, and achieve the momentum of attacking Yangzhou from east to west.

At the same time, Kong Youde ordered Ao Bai to send 5,000 elite soldiers to go to Jiming Mountain, the place of the banquet the day after tomorrow, to ambush, no matter whether the Ming army went to rob the artillery team or not, they would take the lives of Wang Lanping and Shi Kefa.

The battle order was quickly carried out, and the 20,000 elites of the Qing army quickly assembled, and an hour later, the army marched to Pingshan, and the rest of the troops also moved in order.

After Ao Bai finished the military order, his body and mind were relaxed for a while, and finally he and his mother were going to fight, and Yangzhou City soon belonged to the Qing Dynasty.

At the moment, he stepped out of his military tent, stretched his legs and twisted his waist, he didn't move the knife for several days, his hands were already itchy, he threw off his arms and carried his fists and feet, the tiger was vigorous, the fists were powerful, and the practice was rising, and let people take a big knife with iron, no less than 20 catties, and he ran freely in his hands, slashing horizontally and vertically, sweeping left and right, the knife was heavy and powerful, enough to break stones and break gold, and he was still tireless after a pillar of incense.

attracted more and more Qing soldiers around him, cheering again and again, and he really deserved to be the first Baturu in Manchu in the mouth of Hachi back then.

As soon as the fists and feet came down, he still didn't feel happy, and when he glanced at it, he saw a team of Qing soldiers escorting a group of Ming army prisoners to beat him in front of his tent, unclothed, unkempt, and vegetable.

said that it was a prisoner of the Ming army, but in fact it was just some Damingtang soldiers and people.

With the Manchurians all the way south, there was almost no resistance from the Ming army, but the Ming Dynasty, there are also loyal people, but unfortunately, most of these loyal people are some Tang soldiers along the way, and they were crossed by the Qing army before they bubbled, and they died and captured prisoners, and they couldn't make much waves, plus the Han people who were forcibly captured by the Qing army along the way, and the captives were used as coolies in the army.

In a whim, he stopped them and said, "Stop, bring them over."

More than 20 Ming prisoners and civilians were escorted by the Qing army and knelt in front of Aobai.

Ao Bai was smug, took off his armor, revealed his fierceness, thrust the big knife into the ground, crossed his hands on his waist, and pointed to the prisoner in front of him, "You, you, and you, win me, and the lord will reward you with a way out."

Several Ming prisoners who were named looked at each other and did not move.

As soon as a few people hesitated, the big sword of the Qing army on their necks suddenly sank, and three heads rolled to the ground, causing the rest of the captives to scream and tremble.

Ao Bai laughed, "If you don't fight, you will die now, you three, come, you don't want to have a chance to live?" ”

Three of the captives came out in response, looked at each other, and the eyes seemed to say, mother, yes, fight!

The three of them pulled out the frame, let go of their footsteps and surrounded Aobai.

"Yikes!" The three of them moved in unison, swinging their fists and raising their legs, that frame style, to put it bluntly, is a group fight, which can't be blamed on them, they have not received corresponding military combat training at all, they are just a group of Tang soldiers who are messing around in the post station, and there is not much difference from the officials in the yamen.

What kind of person is Ao Bai, who has fought for more than ten years, and the fierce generals who are fighting in the pile of dead people are killing moves.

I saw that he was one against three, and he didn't dodge or dodge, and his hammer-like fist slammed into a thin and shriveled hand coming from the opposite side.

Click! A sound of dislocated bones rang out.

The arm that had been struck by Ao Bai was so alive that the belt bone fell back from the man's shoulder, and blood splashed on his face, and the man immediately fell to the ground and fainted.

Before the other two could react, Ao Bai threw his backfist, with a thousand powers, and with a muffled bang, the man's chin was already embedded in his throat, and then he covered his chin with a pair of helpless and painful eyes, and fell to the ground with a silent wail and convulsions.

Under the electric light, Aobai's legs, which were like the roots of a giant tree, also rose, and with a miserable sound, it hit the last person's Adam's apple.

"Good! Baturu, Baturu"

The onlookers cheered loudly.

"Haha!" Ao Bai wiped the blood from his face and laughed, then pulled out the big knife inserted in his side, swung an attack, and shouted, "Give them weapons"

More than a dozen knives were thrown in front of the captives, and there was no choice at all.

More than a dozen people gritted their teeth and surrounded them.

Bursts of blood mist rose, and screams were repeated.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen captives were beheaded under Aobai's knife, and their stumps and severed arms were scattered all over the place.

It's stupid to look at the Qing troops around you.

Ao Bai was happy this time, and shouted in front of the few captives, "One day, I want to see if you are the first martial champion of the Han people or Lao Tzu, the first Baturu in Manzhou, haha"

The swords and guns in the camp were raised, and all the Qing troops shouted in unison, "Zuo Ling is mighty, the first Baturu in Manchuria"
