After Dolgon returned, Li Xin actually sent someone to inform him that if he figured it out, Guò would only allow him to return to Shengjing with a team of 100 horses through Hongluo Mountain, crossing the Daughter River and the Xiaoling River. The route was rugged and not easy to follow, but even if Li Xin's mention was true, he couldn't agree to it.

Without a large army, there was no difference between Dolgon, who only took a hundred and ten cavalry, and returned with a single horse, without the slightest help, and in the face of the threat of the two yellow flags in the city, there was no certainty of victory. But Dorgon surprisingly agreed.

"Go back and tell General Sù Li, this king has agreed, and I ask you to withdraw the men and horses in an hour, how about it? And the conditions that this king promised General Li before are all counted! ”

The messenger of the Three Guards who delivered the letter was a military man, and obviously he didn't have the temperament of Miyan, and he didn't fall into the eyes of Dolgon, so he played and walked away.

"Is that really what Dorgon answers?"

The messenger was an officer of the Three Guards, who was born poor and illiterate, but he was bold and careful.

"The Tartar prince promised to agree, but he always felt that he had other tricks!"

"Well, I think so, Dolgon's guy suffered such a big loss from our general, can he be willing? It's better for us to plan ......" Lu Jiu didn't believe that Dolgon would follow the path drawn by Li Xin, but he preferred to take this opportunity to eradicate Dolgon in one fell swoop.

Originally, the Three Guards had no chance, but Dolgon took the risk of taking this rugged mountain road because he was in a hurry to return to Shengjing, so he was blocked in the mountains and could not advance or retreat, if he didn't take this opportunity to kill them, maybe he missed this village and there would be no such shop.

"What Brother Lu Jiu said makes sense, we also think it's appropriate, general, tell me what to do, such a good opportunity can't be missed, otherwise he will be suffocated here!"

It was Cheng Mingjiu who spoke, but Lu Jiu refuted it again.

"How can Dolgon's scheming sit still and wait to be killed, our three guards can only take the initiative to attack and take the initiative to use tricks to kill this Tartar prince!"

Li Xin stopped everyone's gossip with a smile, and then said in an extremely affirmative tone: "Inform the people of Hongluo Mountain to withdraw and let Dolgon pass." ”

"Brother Thirteen, you, do you really believe in Dolgon's promise?"

Li Xin smiled disappre一门ly, and then spoke again, and everyone suddenly realized that they had stuck to their positions.

Dolgon was surprised to find that Li Xin had really withdrawn the army, and the generals under his command were in dispute over whether to leave or not, but he had his own ideas.

"Go, why don't you go? But we are not on this road, we are on this road. ”

Dolgon stretched out his hand and pointed to the rough and simple map, "There is a small river to the east of Hongluo Mountain, which flows into the daughter river from south to north, although summer is the season of deep water, in previous years the water is more than waist-deep, but in a few years there is drought and little rain, and the water level is only above the ankle compared with previous years. This king led the guards to attract the attention of Li Xinming's army from the Hongluo Mountain Pass, and the main force of the army retreated to this nameless river, tracing the river to the north, and after crossing the daughter river, he could jump out of the encirclement of the Three Guards, and when he found out, he would have regretted it too late! ”

The generals of the two white flags applauded this plan, but there was one thing they could not agree with, that is, the matter of attracting the attention of the Ming army could not be done by Dolgon. After all, it is the backbone of the two white flags, and who can risk Dolgon to do such a thing that could lose his head at any time.

Dolgon did not insist, let the general under his command arrange, put on his clothes, and led the hundred guards out of the temporary camp in the direction of Hongluo Mountain.

The centaur team traveled unhindered all the way, and soon went out of the Hongluo Mountain Pass and went straight to the Daughter River, but there was not a single Three Guards to stop it. After receiving the reward, Dolgon was very surprised, could it be that Li Xinzhen believed his promises and guarantees? However, this is no longer important, whether Li Xin believes it or not, the army will turn after dark and cross the northbound river thirty miles east of Hongluo Mountain, all the way back to Shengjing. Only Sheng Jing's incident made him rarely have a trace of anxiety, which contains both the expectation of the throne and the anxiety of losing the throne, which may be called suffering from gains and losses.

As the sun went down and it was getting late, Dolgon ordered the cavalry of the army to wrap their horses' hooves in rags and immediately moved their troops, groping in the darkness and soon reaching the nameless river. The cavalry of the two white flags went north along the nameless river, the bottom of the river was much smoother than the mountain road after many years of washing, and the cavalry marched very fast, but two hours of effort, and the daughter river was already in sight. Suddenly, scouts arrived from the rear to report the news.

"The Ming army is moving, the Ming army is moving!"

Everyone's hearts suddenly tightened, but the scout's words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"Li Xin really acted, and the hundred-man team was surrounded by the Three Guards and captured alive!"

In this way, Li Xin will inevitably find out that Dolgon in the hundred-man team is a fake, presumably he is furious at this moment, but it is too late, and in front of the daughter river is a horse Pingchuan, and no one can stop his more than 10,000 cavalry when he gets out of this mountain.

The water of the daughter river is also like the nameless river, due to the drought and no rain, the water level is not as deep as waist, and the width of the river is only three zhang. Even if Li Xin finds out now, it will not be possible to complete it in a moment if he wants to be here again, unless Li Xin is a prophet of Da Luo Jin Immortal, but this possibility does not exist in any case.

"Cross the river!"

Dolgon waved his whip, and his heart suddenly surged, Li Xin, Li Xin, you still have a bad move in the end. All the cavalry crossed the Daughter River in half an hour. Suddenly, the night wind rose, and the dark clouds in the sky were blown away, revealing a little starry, and the semi-circular moon emitted a faint cold light, and even the path of the army was clearly illuminated.

A meadow between the Da Ling River and the Xiao Ling River is suitable for cavalry galloping, so it seems that there will be another half an hour to reach the Xiao Ling River, and after crossing the Xiao Ling River, even if it completely asks for the entanglement of Li Xin's three guards. Seeing that Xiao Linghe was in sight in front of him, suddenly a fire burst out in front of him. The scouts rode over to find out what had happened.

But soon the answer was revealed, and the rumbling of cannons rose one after another with the light of fire, followed by hail of cannonballs.

"There is an ambush, there is a Ming army, protect Baylor!"

Unfazed, Dolgon ordered the horse team to charge the Ming army ahead. However, as soon as the cavalry accelerated, Dorgon noticed something unusual, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger. His pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes were full of fear, because what was waiting for them in front of them was not the Ming army at all, but the raging wildfire.

It was only then that he noticed that the meadow had long since been dried up and scorched due to the drought, and that the fire was burning the prairie and could no longer be stopped.

"It's a fire, get out!"

The fire swept forward from the northeast like a tidal wave, at a speed visible to the human eye, and the more than 10,000 troops must have been too late to turn their horses' heads, so they could only temporarily turn slightly and gallop towards the upper reaches of the Xiaoling River in the southwest, in order to avoid the fire that swept quickly.

Dolgon's decision saved the cavalry army with two white flags, but he still underestimated the speed of the fire, nearly half of the cavalry army rushed through the fire curtain, and even Dolgon was burned by the flames, and the cloth armor on his body was also scorched, and the blisters on his face were burning hot. However, he can't take care of this much, if the Ming army can still turn over and fight, but behind him is a raging fire, all he can choose is to run, in addition to running desperately or running desperately, water and fire are ruthless, even tens of thousands of troops can not compete with this thing.

Soon, to Dorgon's despair, the fire seemed to be developing far faster than the cavalry army was advancing, with relentless fire on all sides. There is only one way left in front of you, and that is to cross the river as fast as you can. But the Xiaoling River is not a daughter river, and the depth and width of the water level are more complex than the daughter river. If you don't do on-the-spot research in advance, you are likely to encounter dangerous shoals and deep waters, which is likely to trap a large army.

However, Dorgon had no choice, and the tongues of fire were surrounded by fangs and claws from all sides, leaving him with little leeway. Dorgon could already feel the scorching air on his face, and the burning bubbles on his face grew more and more painful.

"Cross the river, cross the river!"

Dolgon finally gave the order, and the Xiaoling River was lit up like daylight by the fire, and the cavalry of the two white flags jumped into the icy river like dumplings. Fortunately, the water level was not waist-deep, and the cavalry was only above the horse's belly on horseback.

Although the speed of travel suddenly slowed down, entering the water meant that they were safe from the clutches of fire. However, the army of more than 10,000 people could not crowd into a narrow beach to line up to cross the river, and soon spread along the riverbank, scrambling to jump into the Xiaoling River. Dorgon was no exception, he hated the river so much that it was splashed in the face, and he found that he had never been so grateful and fond of the water as he was now.

Dolgon, who was riding on horseback and was in the middle of the river, looked back at the raging fire behind him, still palpitating, but he didn't expect Li Xin to use such a spicy fire attack. He regretted a little that he didn't listen to Huang Taiji's words, and read the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" carefully. Zhuge Wuhou is best at fire attack, and now that he is good, he has also experienced the taste of being attacked by fire.

Tossed in the middle of the night, the cavalry army of more than 10,000 people with two white flags finally set foot on the north bank of the Xiaoling River, under the attack of water and fire, the former elite at this time was like a large piece of soup chicken, depressed, but after all, it was thwarted Li Xin's fire attack, although the morale was low but the army was all tailed, he had not lost.

Boom Boom!

The cannon rang out suddenly, and Dolgon looked to the north in horror, and the firelight shone the night like day, so that the faint whiteness of the east was hidden, but it could not hide the Three Guards that stretched for miles.
