It doesn't always rain during the rainy season.

Although there was no rain, the victory came as expected.

The lenses of the clairvoyant mirror were completely obscured by the defeated Qing cavalry, and those were the backs, the backs of the fleeing cavalry.

The flint is a perfectly coordinated weapon, allowing him to wield the full power of the cannon. He gently spat out two words: "Pursuit"

The Ming army quickly forked the front fork and divided the retreat of the two wings.

Feng Qin knew very well in his heart that he could defeat the Qing soldiers, but he could not encircle and annihilate the Qing soldiers.

After all, two legs can't outrun four legs.

The Ming army's guns did not have thick armor, so they could run very fast, second only to the Qing Han light cavalry.

The Jurchen Iron Cavalry had a difficult time, and on the way to escape, they kept throwing down their proud iron armor so that the horses could lighten their loads.

Ao Bai waved his knife and shouted: "Don't panic"

He wanted to lead his army to retreat, but the Qing army had evolved into a rout under the bombardment of Ming artillery.

From time to time he stopped his horse and looked back at the shape of the battlefield,

The scattered cavalry quickly escaped from the range of artillery bombardment, and the handsome banner with yellow flags did not fall, and some relieved cavalry concentrated on the handsome banner.

The Ming army was centered on Qianzong, and the overall formation did not disperse during the pursuit, and the phalanxes were arranged in a zigzag pattern in the plains and hills.

Ao Bai lamented bitterly: "terrible firearms" He witnessed how the Ming army chased and killed a few soldiers who had lost their horses, and gave up the plan to kill a horse pistol

Those terrible firearms shoot lead just by lifting them up.

Without the need to light the arquebus, the Ming army can always free one hand in battle. They can shoot calmly, and even aim at the knight on horseback to fire a gun

On the battlefield of rout, no one can turn back and charge regardless of their lives, and neither can the Jurchens.

The cavalry inlaid with the yellow flag and Li Yuanyin were all veterans of the battlefield, panicked but not chaotic, and fled on the left and right wings, so as not to collide with the footmen who were waiting in front of them.

Li Chengdong was waiting there. He had seen with his own eyes how 10,000 cavalry had been routed, and the 20,000 foot soldiers behind him could see it clearly.

The cavalry roamed the mountains and fields, throwing away their armor. Seeing that the Ming army was getting closer and closer, there was a commotion in the queue of foot soldiers.

Li Chengdong turned his head, a pair of gloomy eyes swept over, and ordered: "Those who disturb will be killed, and those who make noise will be killed."

At this time, a cavalry pegasus with a yellow flag came to the front of the formation, raised a triangular command flag and ordered: "Your Excellency has an order, order General Li to block the Ming army"

The herald Pegasus came, and Pegasus left.

Li Chengdong's face was gloomy, and before he could make a decision in a hurry, a team of cavalry rushed over.

Li Yuanyin's calf was hit by a bird's gun, and the blood that flowed out stained half of his trouser legs. More than 200 cavalry surrounded him to station his horse in front of the battle, Li Yuanyin urged the horse to step forward, and shouted anxiously: "Dad, withdraw the troops, the Ming army's firearms are too fierce."

"Shut up" Li Chengdong waved his hand and ordered Li Yuanyin to retreat to the main formation.

The foot soldiers were densely packed and frightened. Li Yuanyin recalled the terrible scene in front of the Ming army, and his heart palpitated. He knew that these people were like live targets in front of the artillery of the Ming army.

"Dad" he looked anxious, and wanted to say more.

An impatient look appeared on Li Chengdong's face, and he said: "Ao Bai ordered me to stop the Ming army" He talked to his son, and he didn't have much respect for Ao Bai.

He didn't know that the Ming army was fierce and came with the aftermath of defeating 10,000 cavalry, but as soon as Aobai's order arrived, he had to pretend. This period is too sensitive, he works for the Manchurians, how dare he disobey and not listen? Zhang Tianlu, Jin Shenghuan, Jiang Zhuo and Wu Sangui were in front of others, if he hadn't gone too far in Jiangnan, he would have defected across the river long ago.

One misstep becomes a thousand hatreds.

"Ah" Li Yuanyin understood what his father meant, lost his soul and retreated to the side.

Since Ao Bai ordered Li Chengdong to block the Ming army, it means that he has not yet admitted defeat and is waiting for an opportunity to fight back. But the battlefield is already like this, Ao Bai has been on the battlefield for a long time, don't you know what to do.

Of course, Ao Bai knew, but he was unwilling to admit defeat, and he couldn't admit defeat.

The year before last, he returned to Beijing from Xichuan for meritorious service, and soon after, Hauge was imprisoned and died inexplicably, and he was also dismissed from his official position and reduced to the people by the regent. If it weren't for the defeat of Duoduo in Jiangnan, how could Dolgon get the opportunity to lead the troops in battle in order to unite the forces of the Three Banners?

Battlefields are never just battlefields, and if they were, there wouldn't have been so many inexplicable defeats in history.

He must turn the tables around, and as soon as the defeat here reaches Beijing, he is almost certain that he will be fired again.

The Jurchen cavalry blew a sharp horn, and the scattered cavalry gathered behind Li Chengdong's position, and the sound of the horn seemed to pierce the hearts of the soldiers, making their chests depressed and their blood churning.

The Ming army marched in silence, and the artillery carriage followed closely behind, about five hundred paces behind the gunner.

The roads were full of mud and potholes, and the guards used dry straw to pave the way, driving the mule and the gun wagons forward.

Feng Qin urged the horse down from the high ground.

The 20,000 Ming army men were divided into more than 100 zigzag squares, forming a meniscus-shaped queue, wrapping around Li Chengdong's line.

Four or five miles away from the Qing soldiers, the Ming army stopped and waited for the battle. After the formation, the artillery carriage tilted an angle to the sky, and the gunner ignited the lead of the breech.

Li Yuanyin saw it clearly, couldn't hold it anymore, and advised: "Dad, either charge or retreat, if you stay here, you will wait for death."

Li Chengdong stood still.

A defense line that 10,000 cavalry can't break through, what can 20,000 foot soldiers do?

"Boom"

The first shot was fired in the Ming army's position.

Li Chengdong turned his horse back, waved his knife and ordered: "Withdraw" He waited for this moment, just to give an explanation to the Qing court. The Ming army was so powerful that he was powerless to stop it. Whether Ao Bai is dead or alive after returning to Beijing, what does it have to do with him. He only knew that if his more than 20,000 soldiers and horses were gone, he would only have a dead end.

The 20,000 Qing Han soldiers suddenly changed from the rear team to the front team and rushed north.

The iron artillery bombarded only for a moment, and Feng Qin saw that the overall front of the Qing army was in chaos, and ordered the Ming army to pursue freely.

Li Chengdong's defeated army was engulfed by more than 1,000 cavalry gathered all the way to the north.

Ao Bai scolded non-stop, wantonly killed the Han soldiers all the way, and finally the Han soldiers took a detour when they saw him.

"Defeated, defeated"

Gaoyou County ordered to see that the Qing soldiers went north in a hurry, and they were like big gods jumping at the head of the city, and the six gods had no owner.

Feng Qin urged the horse to the front of Gaoyou City.

A soldier raised a flag and galloped to the city gate and shouted: "General Hangzhou is here, the defenders in the city surrender, otherwise once the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs left." ”

Five or six miles away, the Ming army was slowly approaching with more than 20 direct-fire guns.

The Ming army was escorting the prisoners in front of Gaoyou City, and in their opinion, this city already belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

The Qing troops focused on Yangzhou on the river bank, and further north they garrisoned in Huai'an, and there were only five or six hundred defenders in Gaoyou City, all of whom were Han Chinese. Gaoyou County Commander and Garrison saw that the Ming army was showing its might outside the city, defeating Ao Bai and Li Chengdong and other strong generals, where did they dare to resist.

The shouting soldiers had not yet returned, the south gate of Gaoyou slowly opened, and the garrison led three hundred soldiers out of the city gate and knelt on the ground, and the Gaoyou county commander followed behind, and he naturally knelt on the side of the road.

As soon as the horsewhip pointed inward, four teams of 2,000 men marched into Gaoyou City in a neat queue and took over the four gates. He himself did not enter the city, but set up his horse and retreated, and led the rest of the soldiers and horses to camp in a hilly area north of Gaoyou City.

The pursuing soldiers and horses had not yet all returned, and the officers and men in the barracks were elated. This is the Ming army's dignified defeat of the Qing in the frontal battlefield, without any tricks, completely relying on strength to crush the Jurchen cavalry.

In this battle, more than 3,000 Qing prisoners were killed, more than 2,000 horses and more than 3,000 Han soldiers were captured, which can be described as a complete victory.

On the one hand, he sent messengers back to report his merits, and on the other hand, he strengthened his position.

In order to paralyze the Qing soldiers, this time Zhai Zhe only ordered 30,000 Ming troops to cross the river, and Taizhou behind Feng Qin was still in the hands of the Qing court.

Although Gaoyou City is small, its location is very important, and capturing it is equivalent to cutting off the connection between the Yangzhou defenders and the north. Therefore, this is a place where the Qing soldiers must attack,

The Northern Expedition to Jianghuai had a beautiful start.

But whether it was Feng Qin in Gaoyou City or Zhai Zhe in Nanjing City, they knew that the battle for Jianghuai would not be so smooth.

The news of the defeat of Ao Bai and Li Chengdong will not come out so quickly. The messenger cavalry went all the way to the south, and no one dared to stop it under the city of Taizhou.

The messenger traveled day and night, until he arrived at the city of Taixing, and the general soldier Yan Yingyuan sent someone to escort the messenger across the river and went straight to the city of Nanjing.

Since last summer, the Ming army has been on the offensive in Huaiyang, and the people of Jiangnan have long been accustomed to it.

The galloping war horses attracted the attention of pedestrians on the roadside, and they had never seen such an urgent military situation since the recovery of Jiangnan. However, this is not relevant to most people

Jin Wangfu.

Zhai Zhe feeds the birds every day, reads books, and stands by and watches the occasional disputes in the court. Chen Zilong and Ma Shiying are both people who know how to advance and retreat, and they will compromise well and try not to let the conflict explode to the Jin Palace.

In the afternoon, Fang Jin's hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, Zhai Zhe put down the book, intuitively, he knew that the news he had been waiting for for half a month came.

Fang Jin pushed the door in, bowed and saluted, and said, "Lord Wang, Jiangbei Feng General is in an emergency"

"Bring it"

Zhai Zhe took the urgent mail, opened it and looked at it without expression, not saying a word.

Fang Jin was worried in his heart, not knowing whether it was evil or auspicious.

Zhai Zhe frowned and pondered for a moment, put the letter in his sleeve, got up and said, "Prepare the sedan chair, I want to go to the Ma Ge Mansion"

"Ah, yes"

Fang Jin was a little surprised, since the King of Jin arrived in Nanjing, he had never gone to other people's mansions to meet him.

The sedan chair carried by eight people was swaying, Zhai Zhe walked in the sedan chair and took out the urgent report in his sleeve and read it again, and finally smiled.

"Feng Qin, you really didn't disappoint me"

There is only one Shandong between Jianghuai and Beijing, and the Qing captives are mostly cavalry, which can roar down to support at night. If the recovery of Jiangnan and the capture of Huguang are for self-preservation, then the fight for Jianghuai is a threat to Henan and even Beijing under the rule of the Qing court.

Dolgon would never give up on Jianghuai lightly, just as he had to take Datong with great effort last year.

Feng Qin got off to a good start.
