Pinggu City, the Emperor's Taiji King's Tent.

The news of this battle was sent to Huang Taiji's desk as soon as possible.

The red candle flame swayed back and forth, making it impossible to see his face.

However, his fingers kept tapping lightly on the table next to him, showing that his mood at the moment was not calm.

For the result of this battle, Huang Taiji did not have too much joy, nor too much disappointment and anxiety, in general, it was still within the acceptable range of him.

But through the reaction of Liu Ruyi and Caishi Jun in this battle, Huang Taiji can already faintly feel that the moment of the decisive battle is coming!

"Come on, send this old ginseng to Shi Tingzhu, this is my reward for him!" Huang Taiji pointed to the hundred-year-old ginseng on the table on the side, and said to the little eunuch beside him.

"Wow!" The little eunuch hurriedly and carefully picked up the old ginseng, and was about to withdraw from the tent.

"Wait!" Huang Taiji waved his hand, "Go, inform Prince Zheng, Prince Rui, and Prince Su, and come to the account to discuss matters!" ”

"Wow!" The little eunuch paused for a moment to make sure that Huang Taiji had no more orders, so he cautiously withdrew from the tent.

~~~~~

At this time, Wu Sangui, Pingxibo, who was in Ningyuan, was also firmly watching every move of the big battle in Guannei.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the Qing army's entry into the customs, Wu Sangui received an order from Emperor Chongzhen to ask the Guanning army to enter King Qin, but was pushed back by Wu Sangui!

For Wu Sangui, although he has more than 50,000 Guanning troops, he is one of the most powerful military forces in the world. However, in terms of strength, the Guanning Army is not as good as the elite of the Eight Banners, and in terms of the elite, the Guanning Army is also not as good as Liu Ruyi's Caishi Army.

This makes Wu Sangui's position a little awkward!

If you are an ordinary person, this situation is actually very easy to deal with, just follow the crowd!

But history has proven that Wu Sangui is very human, he has an incomparably huge heart!

At this time, whether it is the Ming Dynasty, or the Manchu Qing Dynasty, or Liu Ruyi's Caishi Army, the situation in the three aspects is not clear, and Wu Sangui will naturally not make the slightest move.

However, although he is in Ningyuan, the sentinels of the Guan Ning Army have already spread all over the capital, and as long as there is a slight disturbance on the battlefield, he can tell the news as soon as possible.

He is like a hungry wolf hiding in the shadows, licking his paws, waiting for the dragon and tiger on the grassland to fight each other, and how the curtain will end.

Just when I was thinking about it, there was a report from the soldiers outside the door, "Report ~~~~!" The latest battle report from the Beijing Division! ”

Wu Sangui couldn't help but be shocked, "Quick, come in!" ”

~~~~~

The camp of the Colored Stone Army.

At this time, two days had passed since that night battle, but the Qing army did not move too much, which made Liu Ruyi's face more and more gloomy.

At this level, Huang Taiji is clearly not going to be easily dispatched!

Then the attacker of this war can only be the Colored Stone Army!

Although this kind of ending has long been expected by Liu Ruyi, when it really comes, Liu Ruyi's heart is still very unpleasant.

Offense means strength!

But at this time, the Ming Dynasty, including his own colored stone army, was not strong enough to crush the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so if he attacked, the number of victories and defeats was still in the will of God!

But it has reached this point, and Liu Ruyi actually has no choice.

If it drags on like this, the Caishi Army can bear it, but the Ming court and the people of the Ming Dynasty can no longer bear it!

In the big tent, all the generals gathered, and Liu Ruyi was dressed in gold armor, showing his edge.

He sat on the high tiger skin throne and looked down at the generals in the tent, "Everyone, what is the situation now, you also know it in your hearts!" Since the Manchu Qing wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head, then we can only cut his turtle shell! ”

"General, I, the Vermilion Bird Battalion, am willing to be the vanguard of the army!"

"General, I, the Qinglong Battalion, am also willing to be the vanguard of the army!"

"The Great General......

All the generals understood Liu Ruyi's determination and went out to fight one after another.

Liu Ruyi is very satisfied with the attitude of the generals, the general trend of the world has been frozen, so let the Caishi Army become the solid stone to break this ice!

"Excellent! The generals listened to the order, the Suzaku battalion was the vanguard, the loyal battalion followed, and half an hour later, the army sent to Pinggu City! ”

"Yes!"

~~~~~~

The north wind hunted, the harsh sunlight cast mercilessly on the ground, and the wilderness was desolate everywhere, except for the occasional few hare in a few patches of green, which made people feel no life at all.

The entrance of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, for the Ming Dynasty, is comparable to the entry of the little devils of later generations into the village, and it can almost be said that there is no grass.

From Tongzhou to the east, all the way to the line of Pinggu and Xianghe, which were actually controlled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, except for the sentinels of various armies, there was not a single common man to be seen.

This once fertile land has now become like a dead land.

At this time, on the wide wilderness, more than 50,000 or nearly 60,000 colored stone troops, like a red torrent, strode forward and approached Pinggu City.

From the original Caishi army camp to Pinggu City, less than fifty miles, the army set off early in the morning, and just after noon, it had already set off to the outside of Pinggu City.

Along the way, the Qing army sentry continued to pass by, but Liu Ruyi did not care at all, calmly and steadily, and set up camp by the big river on the west side of Pinggu City.

Pinggu City was crowded with people, and it was obvious that they had already noticed the ill-intentioned Colored Stone Army, but out of caution, they did not immediately attack the Colored Stone Army, but watched cautiously from afar.

If it is other Ming troops, I am afraid that all the departments of the Qing army have already rushed up, and there are not even bones left to gnaw on, and there is only one Caishi army in the world, which can make the Qing army so fearful.

With many years of experience in conquest, the Caishi Army has long been familiar with garrisons and defenses.

At this time, although the main force of the Qing army was in front of them, the Caishi army was still in an orderly manner, and quickly set up camp according to the topography of the riverside.

Liu Ruyi stood on the dirt slope on the riverside, guarded by hundreds of personal soldiers, looking at the Pinggu city wall not far away.

This city is actually a lucky place for Liu Ruyi.

In the Battle of Pinggu that year, it was here that Liu Ruyi broke Dolgon, thus establishing the status of the Ming Dynasty as a strong army of the Caishi Army.

Today, history seems to be repeated, but the Caishi Army is several times stronger than back then, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is also pouring out, will history repeat itself?

Wang Pu was far less calm than Liu Ruyi, looking at the banner of the Qing army waving on the head of Pinggu City, he said a little unconfidently: "Brother Liu, let's, let's do this, is this a little too rampant?" Just camp under the noses of the Qing army, they are afraid of it, they are afraid of it......"

Liu Ruyi smiled slightly, "What?" Brother Wang, are you afraid? ”

"Afraid? I'm afraid not! Wang Pu hurriedly shook his head, "However, some worries in my heart are true!" ”

"Huh! Don't worry! This battle will come sooner or later! This is our fate! You can't hide! If that's the case, then open your heart and mind! It's done, there is no one in the world who can stop our brothers! If you lose, it's providence! Liu Ruyi said, clenching his fists tightly.

Wang Pu clearly felt Liu Ruyi's determination, and nodded solemnly, "Not bad!" These dog tartars! It's not invincible! In this battle, we must completely destroy their foundation to prevent future troubles! ”

Since it is already an indissoluble grudge, it is inevitable to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and Wang Pu naturally knows this.

Liu Ruyi nodded, "Relax!" Don't be so nervous! Come here, pass on my military order, and order the troops of the nine sides of Tongzhou to come to Pinggu City to support! ”

"Yes!"

~~~~~

At the head of Pinggu City, Huang Taiji, supported by several personal guards, cautiously looked at the camp of the Caishi Army.

On the side, Dolgon, Haug, Dordor, Zilharang, and others stood carefully.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Liu Ruyi is more anxious than we thought! This is just right, when they are all here, it also saves us from looking for them one by one! Dolgon looked coldly at the camp of the Colored Stone Army and said to the Emperor.

Huang Taiji didn't have much expression on his face, "Prince Rui, in your opinion, when should my army attack?" ”

Dolgon smiled, "Your Majesty, the colored stone weapons are sharp!" If it is an attack, of course, it is best to take advantage of their unstable foothold! However, the emperor must have a deeper plan, and the servants don't dare to discuss it! ”

Huang Taiji couldn't help but smile, "Prince Rui is too modest!" The colored stone firearms are sharp, but I am clear, and the firearms are not good! Where is the obedience to the king? ”

"The minister is here!" Gong Shun Wang Kong Youde hurriedly went out of the way.

"King Gongshun, Prince Rui has already said that the colored stone army is sharp, do you dare to lead my Qing artillery battalion to fight against the colored stone army?" Huang Taiji smiled.

"W-why don't you dare?" Kong Youde's eyes rolled, he already understood Huang Taiji's intentions, and hurriedly knelt down and asked for battle: "As long as the emperor gives an order, my Qing artillery battalion will definitely fight with the Caishi Army to the end!" ”

"Good!" Huang Taiji smiled, "Prince Rui, you can cover for King Gongshun, today, I want to see with my own eyes, the power of my Qing artillery battalion!" ”

"Wow!"

~~~~~~

"They, what are they going to do?"

At the outpost of the Caishi Army's camp, several soldiers were carefully watching the movements in Pinggu City.

But when they saw that under the cover of thousands of cavalry, huge ox carts covered with black tarpaulins were pulled to the dirt slope not far from the west side of the city, they couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Quick, go and report to the general! There must be some conspiracy of the Qing army! Commander A immediately made a decision, hurriedly ordered the soldiers, and quickly explained the situation to Liu Ruyi.

Liu Ruyi was inspecting the position of the artillery battalion of the Caishi Army at this time, and soon got the news from the front.

Due to the need to take into account Pinggu City, the position of the artillery battalion of the Caishi Army is relatively forward, located on a dirt slope on the northwest side of the camp, the firepower can cover the west wall of Pinggu City, and at the same time, it can also be strong enough for the Qing cavalry to attack the route of the Caishi Army camp.

At this time, standing on the high soil slope, Liu Ruyi and the generals around him also saw the movements of the Qing army.

"General Wen, it seems that the Qing army is planning to give you a chance first! Hehe! What are you going to do? Liu Ruyi smiled and looked at the guerrilla Wencheng of the artillery battalion.

After nearly a year of strength, Wen Cheng is more mature than before, and his sword eyebrows are slightly straight, "General, we now have these ten red-clothed cannons to help, even if the Qing army doesn't come, we will still find trouble with them!" It's better, but it saves a lot of things for lowly duties! ”

In the deal with the Zheng family, the Caishi Army obtained ten of the most advanced red-coated cannons of the Portuguese at the time, and all of them were equipped in the army at this time!

This is also where Wencheng's confidence lies.

Seeing that Wen Cheng already knew what to expect, Liu Ruyi also put his mind at ease, turned his head to Wen Cheng and said, "Taking advantage of the fact that their artillery camp position is not stable, let's strike first!" ”

Wen Cheng had already intended this, and nodded heavily, "Artilleryman, prepare!" ”

"Yes!"
