There are traps under the city of Yangzhou.

More than 3,000 Jurchen captives and the younger brother of the Qing regent Dolgon, these can influence Dolgon, but not enough to ⊥ Dolgon to make impulsive decisions.

When the Ming army camp outside Yangzhou showed unimaginable weakness, Dolgon's heart was moved.

Ao Bai defeated the 50,000 Ming army with 5,000 iron cavalry in Luzhou Mansion. (The defenders of Luzhou Prefecture are not exaggerating, Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi plus the righteous army in the Yinghuo Mountains that are annexed, the Ming army is 50,000 people).

The camp of the Ming army surrounding Yangzhou City could not stop the impact of the cavalry in the city, if it could be said to be an accident once, but it was helpless in the face of cavalry assaults several times in a row, and Dolgon's heart moved.

In order to test the Ming army's defensive ability against the cavalry, he specially ordered a hundred cavalry to enter Yangzhou City to report the news, if Zhai Zhe still has a little brain, it is impossible to let those cavalry enter the encirclement.

As a result, he was excited. The Ming army worked very hard and killed a lot of cavalry, but the Ming army was not as strong as he originally expected.

God knows how Ao Bai lost to Feng Qin's firearms soldiers, maybe he made a mistake in cooperating with Li Chengdong, or maybe he was so reckless that he lost his mind.

Dorgon leaned towards the second reason.

In the past few days, there has been no heavy rain, and lemon drizzle has come and gone. In this kind of weather, even the most experienced supervisors cannot predict when the heavy rain will come.

Dolgon couldn't wait, and four days later, on the 20th of May, he and Bolo made an appointment to attack the Ming camp tomorrow.

Afternoon.

Eighty thousand Qing soldiers poured down to the south like a flood that burst its banks. More than 10,000 soldiers and horses remained under Gaoyou City.

This is a game of endless wins and losses.

The Qing soldiers were spearheaded by foot soldiers, followed closely by cavalry. The iron cannon was too heavy, and the Qing soldiers did not have a simple artillery carriage like the Ming army, and it was raining, so they could only stay.

Among the Qing soldiers, cavalry is also a precious type of troops, and Dolgon has not generously planned to let the Qing soldiers directly attack the Ming army camp.

Li Chengdong's army was sandwiched between the yellow flag and the white flag. Dolgon did not allow the Han to fight in a joint camp, and let the Jurchens and the Han cross-array, and the Jurchens could be both assault points and prison troops.

Li Yuanyin's left leg did not hurt the bone, and after a month of recuperation, he has been half healed. He stayed with his father-in-law and didn't dare to talk nonsense.

The last time he boldly advised his father-in-law and said something heart-wrenching, Li Chengdong didn't say it after that, but he never got the opportunity to command the elite cavalry again.

"Dad, will the prince let us take the lead?" Li Yuanyin pretended to be excited and showed a flattering smile.

"Which time didn't we take the lead," Li Chengdong replied angrily.

Seeing that his father-in-law was still enthusiastic about him, Li Yuanyin smiled brighter, and Li Chengdong also smiled. Li Yuanyin's every move was under his nose, and he, the righteous son, had never done anything unsuitable for him except for some nonsense after he was injured last time.

"When you go to war again, you must be careful not to get hurt again"

Li Yuanyin's heart is warm.

The army left at noon and arrived at Ailing Lake when it was dark.

Dolgon ordered Aobai to lead 5,000 cavalry to stay behind and guard the road south of the Ailing Lake, while the rest of the soldiers and horses went south overnight.

Li Yuanyin has always been by Li Chengdong's side, all around is black and rumbling, the road here is cleared and scouted a hundred and ten times, they only need to follow the scout camp

I don't know when, a Jurchen armed with an arrow came to the Chinese army, and after seeing Li Chengdong, he gave an order: "The prince has an order, the army will rest for two hours temporarily, and attack when the sky is bright." ”

The soldiers held their weapons and found a place to rest on the side of the road, and Li Yuanyin patrolled everywhere.

Before it was white, another Jurchen herald arrived, urging the army to get up and hurry.

"The prince has an order and orders General Li to attack the Ming army's northern camp"

Li Chengdong agreed.

Waiting for the herald to go away, Li Yuanyin said: "The Ming Army's Beida Battalion is Li Zhi'an's soldiers and horses, which are the elite of the Ming Army. ”

Li Chengdong said: "Don't be so sensitive, the regent asked my Han people to work for the Manchurians, and there will be no traces of too much at this juncture, even if the prince sends elite bannermen to attack the western camp of the Ming army, it is understandable. ”

Li Yuanyin saw that his father-in-law was firm-minded, and he didn't dare to say anything more about what he hid in his heart. The more he read, the more he felt that he should not serve the Manchurians. The injury a month ago woke him up like an initiation, but it was absolutely impossible for him to betray his father-in-law and join Daming. He was an orphan who survived in Henan, which was full of hungry people, because he was adopted by Li Chengdong.

The foot soldiers walked all the way, the sky changed from pitch black to faint brightness, and then from faint light to bright light, and a camp appeared in everyone's sight.

A horse galloped over and shouted: "The prince has an order, and he ordered General Li to attack the village immediately." ”

As he was talking, he heard a cannon shot in the camp opposite, and all the flags that had been hanging were erected. The Ming army has already seen movement on the opposite side.

Dolgon didn't think that he could hide it from Zhai Zhe, because Zhai Zhe had been waiting for him.

"If the Ming army is full of self-fire, we will not be able to attack the camp" Li Yuanyin was timid before fighting.

Li Chengdong ignored him and ordered: "Order Luo Chengyao to test the attack"

Luo Chengyao is Li Chengdong's general, commanding 4,000 foot soldiers. Li Yuanyin saw that his father-in-law didn't let him go into battle, and knew that he had said the wrong thing again.

There was no rain in the early morning, and the line of sight was clear, Li Yuanyin saw Luo Chengyao's soldiers scattered in formation, pushing the shield cart forward in twos and threes.

Those people seemed as unconfident as he was.

waited until Luo Chengyao's soldiers were very close to the camp, and the sound of birds came from the barracks of the Ming army. Li Chengdong and Li Yuanyin had rich experience in the battlefield, and after listening attentively, they knew that the Ming army was not using that kind of self-bird gun, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

The shield carts of the Qing captives are all specially made, and the bird guns cannot break them. Luo Chengyao knew Li Chengdong's intentions very well, and a group of people made the boss's movements in front of the Ming army camp, but it was actually difficult to go further.

Li Yuanyin watched the battle on the horse, and after a long time, a drizzle fell in the air, and the Ming army's bird guns stopped temporarily, and Luo Chengyao took the opportunity to lead the army to approach the outside of the camp, where there was a slight shout, as if there were short soldiers.

Li Yuanyin was watching intently, when he suddenly heard a huge roar more than ten miles to the west, like blasting stones with gunpowder when opening a mine.

After a while, the loud bang roared.

"Cannons?" Li Yuanyin turned his head to his father, and it didn't sound like it.

"It's raining, how to open the artillery" Li Chengdong was also puzzled, "Besides, the Ming army was worried that we would attack and capture the iron artillery position, and eighty percent of the artillery was placed on the high ground outside the south of the city." ”

The two were speculating wildly, a team of three or four hundred cavalry from far to near, for a Jurchen Jia La'e Zhen, Lao Yuan raised his right hand, and shouted violently: "The rain is raining, it is the time when the Ming army's firearms can not be used, the prince saw that you were slacking off in attacking the village, and specially ordered me to come to supervise the army.
