Zhai Zhe did not enter the city, and the overall situation in Yangzhou City has been decided.

Fang Yuanke commanded 10,000 regular soldiers and 30,000 government soldiers to pursue the Qing rout. This is a simple job, but I didn't expect that the difficulty of things varies from person to person.

If Feng Qin dared to use all firearms to deal with the cavalry of the Manchurians, the others would not have the courage, and even Zhai Zhe pinched a cold sweat about it.

The 40,000 soldiers and horses were like a big net full of loopholes in Fang Yuanke's hands, and every time Bolo led the cavalry back to assault, the net seemed to be about to be torn apart.

The battlefield is the most direct way to test the ability of military generals.

Fang Yuanke was sweating profusely, and the color of dissatisfaction on Zhai Zhe's face became stronger and stronger.

Marching and fighting is not the more soldiers and horses, the better, Han Xin ordered more troops, the better, and there are a few people who have the command ability of a generation of military gods throughout the ages, and Fang Yuanke's ability is limited to 10,000 people. However, no matter how poor Fang Yuanke's ability is, Zhai Zhe will not remove him from his post as chief soldier. This is a gift from the other party's family.

"Send troops," King Jin shouted.

The guards haven't been in battle for a long time, and the knife has been in the sheath for a long time, and I don't know if it's rusty.

"Out" Bao Guang drew his knife and pointed to the sky.

Before dawn, two thousand cavalry appeared on the battlefield, Zhai Zhe was among them, and a strong man held high the banner of King Jin behind him.

Zhai Zhe did not draw his sword, and kept ordering the heralds to convey orders to all departments.

The pro-guard cavalry roamed around the battlefield, and everywhere they went, the originally torn queue slowly seemed to be connected by needles and threads. Fang Yuanke was deprived of the command of the battlefield, he was at ease, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Governor Headquarters were interspersed and cut in the rout of the Qing captives.

The rout was stopped again, and Bolo again turned back with three thousand cavalry.

The only cavalry of the Ming army was very conspicuous on the battlefield.

Bolo polished his eyes and exclaimed: "That's the banner of King Jin"

King Jin's battle banner was only three or four miles away from him.

Bolo's eyes were very poisonous, and there were only two thousand cavalry around King Jin

His heart moved.

The king of the Ming court and Jin has not been in battle for a long time, this is a golden opportunity, if he can kill Zhai Zhe, the Ming court will be in chaos without a fight.

Bolo didn't care whether he had the power or not, he raised his knife and pointed a few miles away, and promised: "Kill the past, behead the philosopher, reward a thousand gold, and seal the marquis."

Three thousand Jurchen cavalry pounced on the Jin king's personal guards.

The Ming troops who tried to stop them on the way were all trampled into flesh by iron hooves.

Two miles away, Zhai Zhe saw the Qing cavalry rushing from the flank.

"Greet the enemy" "Meet the enemy"

The commander of the Guards cavalry shouted.

Bao Guang obeyed the order, he did not lead the guards to turn around, but directly sprinted forward, widened the distance with the Qing cavalry, and then walked in an arc, and the two thousand personal guards became staggered and parallel to the Qing cavalry.

The Ming army also had cavalry with such excellent riding skills

Zhai Zhe has the heart to stand up.

The two thousand guards did not continue to play hide and seek with Bolo, and marched five or six hundred paces westward, made a semi-circle U-turn, and confronted the Qing cavalry two miles away.

"Rush" Bao Guang raised his knife.

"Rush" Bolo raised his knife.

Fang Yuanke was outflanked from the flank with three thousand foot soldiers.

The dark waist knife was at hand, Zhai Zhe did not draw the knife, Fang Jin and other eight guards were guarding him.

The scimitar met the Qi knife, and the two teams of cavalry collided together, and the formation of the Ming cavalry became closer, like a blunt weapon piercing the fresh meat, and it was difficult to cut the Qing cavalry in half.

Bao Guang was wearing triple armor and was unstoppable, and the cavalry in the center of the Ming army was aimed at the Qing Lu on the periphery and pulled the trigger.

After dispersing the Qing cavalry ranks, the pro-guard cavalry left the battlefield, and while Boloshang was gathering the remnants, the pro-cavalry gave the Jurchens another blow.

In the chaos of the army, Zhai Zhe flexibly controlled the war horse.

From start to finish, he never drew his knife.

The Jurchens killed the banner of the King of Jin, and Fang Jin was stabbed in the left shoulder, and a three-inch-long wound was oozing blood.

However, Bolo led the army back three times and twice today, and the Jurchen cavalry was already at the end of the crossbow, and when he met the general who was ready to wait, the result can be imagined.

After a short scuffle, Bolo wanted to command the cavalry out of the battlefield.

It was easy to come and difficult to walk, and the Ming army's personal guards clung to it and did not stop until they pursued more than ten miles. At this moment, there were only more than five hundred horses left by Bolo's side.

Zhai Zhe was concerned about Yangzhou City, left the Qing captives who had lost their master and fled in all directions to Fang Yuanke, and led his own guards and cavalry back to the city.

Li Zhi'an is mobilizing strong men to extinguish the fire, and the soldiers of the Ming army are holding sharp blades, and anyone who sees a braid will immediately step forward and cut it off, so Yu Jingjing.

Today is the day of the sacrifice ceremony.

The courtiers of the Ministry of Rites led more than a dozen monks into Yangzhou City.

The Qing prisoners were dying in the prison car. Duoduo and Zhang Cunren have special statuses, and they are treated very preferentially, and they are a single prisoner car.

Zhai Zhe's robe was unraveled, and he rode his horse to Duoduo's prisoner cart.

Duoduo looked at the heavens with two eyes, and he knew what this place was.

"Dying here is a relief for you"

Duoduo didn't say much, and any words seemed superfluous at this point.

Zhang Cunren looked at Zhai Zhe with his eyes, saw that the King of Jin didn't even look at him, rode his horse away, and knew that his fate would not turn around.

In the afternoon, the scouts reported that Dolgon led 20,000 cavalry south to meet the rout of the city of Yangzhou. Zhai Zhe ordered the pursuing Ming army to withdraw to the camp in the north of Yangzhou.

Not from time to time.

Li Zhi'an escorted 3,500 Jurchens out of the west gate of Yangzhou City and walked to the canal. Tens of thousands of Yangzhou people followed closely, and there were also scholars who dared to come from Jiangnan to watch the ceremony.

Two Ming soldiers escorted a Jurchen and asked them to kneel with their backs to the canal and in the direction of Yangzhou City.

Zhai Zhe stayed in Yangzhou Mansion and did not attend the scene in person.

Li Zhi'an was the chief executive of the execution, and Huang Benji, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, was the prisoner and beheading officer.

Bo Luo and Zhang Cunren were originally sentenced to Ling Chi, and the king of Jin was merciful, thinking that Zhang Cunren was not a great evildoer, and changed his Ling Chi to beheading.

The supervisor verified the true bodies of more than a dozen Jurchen generals, and Li Zhi'an gave an order, and the executioner raised his knife and fell, and 3,500 pieces fell to the ground.

After the ceremony, Li Zhi'an sent people to the city to deliver the letter. With a cup of tea, the King of Jin issued an order to Li Zhi'an to throw these corpses into the trap outside the Xiying camp and bury them.

More than a dozen virtuous monks chanted sutras in front of the raging canal water, which did not end until midnight.

The Ministry of Rites specially transported a boatload of paper money from Jiangnan, and the black paper ash floated around inside and outside Yangzhou after burning.

Some people look forward to it, some people scold it, and the rudimentary etiquette of beheading prisoners and sacrificing them has disappointed many people.

King Jin did not come forward, and the highest-ranking official present was the squire of the Ministry of Rites.

Killing prisoners is not an end but a means, and Zhai Zhe actually doesn't want to be too deeply involved in this matter. After capturing the city of Yangzhou, the Ming army completed the first phase of the Northern Expedition.

Dolgon's missed blow and came back from the ground running, saving a strategic blunder with two defeats, and this is an opponent who needs to go all out.

However, he did not expect that the Ming army would capture Yangzhou City so quickly.
