Zhai Zhe didn't like to fight such a battle, not that he was afraid of Dorgon, because he really didn't like to be led by the nose. Everyone can see that Changping is a trap, and Lu Xiangsheng said to him that he is also worried, but they can't do anything.

The cavalry brigade walked out of the camp in tight formation, iron hooves creaking on the frozen lumps.

"General Xiao!"

"In!"

"Lead the scouts to the direction of Changping, check the roads, mountains and forests along the way, and find out the movements of the Qing soldiers and horses!"

"Yes!" Xiao Zhiyan grabbed the reins of the war horse, turned the direction, and the war horse burst out with a low roar in the dim torch light.

"Be careful on the road!" Zhai Zhe added that when other generals went on the expedition, he had never shown such concern.

Xiao Zhiyan raised the longbow in his hand to signal that he was relieved, and the three hundred scouts walked into the dark and cold night. What needs Xiao Zhiyan to go out in person must be a road full of thorns.

"Out!" Zhai Zhe urged the jujube red horse.

The Chinese army sounded three low horns, and the cavalry of the brigade slowly moved their front hooves. Just like Lu Xiangsheng said, Zhai Zhe didn't believe that Changping would be lost.

"If Changping is lost, there will be no need to fight this battle for Lu Gong!" Liu Suifeng, who followed him, rode a docile white horse, put on a cotton armor, and put a large helmet on his head, which looked a little funny at first glance.

"Changping belongs to the station of Jingying, why should you put the charge on Lu Gong's head after it is lost." Zhai Zhe couldn't help but complain. After a few years of cultivation in Daming, he knew the reason, but he was a little angry in his heart. He was even thinking that the real purpose of Qing Yu's entry into Kou Daming this time was not to target Xuanda Town. The Governor of Jiliao has been killed in battle, and if the Governor of Xuanda goes wrong again, the two towns in the north of the Ming Dynasty will suffer heavy losses.

"Drive! Drive! "The sound of hooves is muffled by the roaring north.

Zuo Ruobu was in the forefront, followed by the Central Army of Bao Guangbu, the soldiers and horses of the Fengqin Department and the Meng Kang Department were arranged in turn, and the Mongolian battalion of Che Feng and the light cavalry battalion of Xiao Zhiyan were scattered in the vast snowfield on both wings.

In this arrangement, Zhai Zhe took great pains. Zuo Ruo has rich experience on the battlefield, responds quickly in case of trouble, and his soldiers and horses are well-trained, so he can make the most appropriate response in the event of an attack. The elite soldiers selected by Commander Bao Guang are well deployed in the Chinese army, which is conducive to stabilizing the morale of the army. Meng Kang's troops and horses were good at attacking, but they were not well organized and fell last, which could be used to break through when they were in danger.

The cavalry of the brigade is not in a hurry, and according to this degree, it will not be able to reach Changping at noon tomorrow, and Zhai Zhe will wait for Xiao Zhiyan's news to speed up the progress.

The official road to Changping is covered with footprints, which are the traces left by the fleeing people on the snow and frozen.

Xiao Zhiyan lay on the back of his horse, followed by forty or fifty cavalrymen, and the sides of him retreated like mountains like beasts. The 300 cavalry were divided into 10 teams, each with a firearm that could send out a signal, and once the whereabouts of the captives were cleared, fireworks would be released according to the number of enemies.

The iron hooves were hurrying, and there was only the whirring wind in my ears. The villages near and far were as silent as death, and almost all of the people had fled a few days earlier, and even a few had taken refuge in the mountains. Scouts rarely speak on the way, and even on nights like these, their voices don't travel far.

There was no one all the way, and Xiao Zhiyan's scout camp was completely unfamiliar with the roads and places here, so he had to devote some energy to explore some branch roads. Forty or fifty miles away from Changping, there has been no trace of Qingqing. If the Qing captives are under the city of Changping, there will definitely be scout activities here, and things will be demons if things are abnormal, Xiao Zhiyan sent a signal, and ordered the scouts to shrink the search range and make every effort to go south along the official road.

The road was littered with horses' hoof footprints, where the cavalry of the Qing Brigade had marched. Xiao Zhiyan's vigilance was raised to the extreme, like a leopard dormant in the dense forest.

When I arrived at a place more than twenty miles away from Changping, I vaguely heard the sound of fighting and shouting in the distance.

"Someone!" There was a shout from the darkness, a low muffled grunt from the scouts who had explored the way, and the horses circled and neighed in the path.

"There are people in the woods!" The scout cavalry immediately dispersed, and opened their bows and arrows into the pine forest. I heard the sound of rocks falling, and soon there was no movement. Xiao Zhiyan stepped forward to stop the cavalry who wanted to continue the pursuit, and saw a scout with an arrow in the chest, and his companions were helping him bandage it. It was too dangerous for the scouts to go any further, and the shouts of killing came into Xiao Zhiyan's ears with the wind.

He pondered for a moment, and urged his horse to gallop to the hillside a mile away. But to his surprise, he never met a single captive again. Standing on the hillside, you can just see the scene outside Changping City, the lights in the Qingyu camp are dotted on the flat snow field more than ten miles south of Changping City, the torches outside the east gate and the south gate are bright, the sound of killing is boiling, standing at such a distance to see the specific battle situation clearly, but it sounds very lively, and there is silence outside the north gate and the west gate.

"Qing Yu is really attacking the city overnight?" Xiao Zhiyan was a little undecided.

The news of the scout's pathfinding has been conveyed to the rear, and Zhai Zhe received an order from Lu Xiangsheng urging him to speed up the progress of the trip. The land of Gyeonggi was like fighting in a guest land for them, and without a guide who was familiar with the terrain and did not know the movements of the main forces of the Qing Dynasty, Zhai Zhe had to be cautious.

"There is no trace of the Qinglu along the way, and the Qinglu are attacking the city overnight!" The scout came to report the news, "Xiao Shen will go down to Changping City." ”

"Speed up the march!" Zhai Zhe remembered the order Lu Xiangsheng gave him, gritted his teeth and ordered.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the howling north wind could not hide it, and there was no one to stop it all the way.

The engagement under the city of Changping was fierce, at least from a distance. The chief soldiers and governors in Changping City have no way to retreat, and if the imperial tomb is destroyed, not only will they not be able to save their own heads, but they may also be able to escape their families. That's why he hurriedly sent people to the capital and Xuanda Zhenqin King for help.

During the day, Du Du did urge the Zhenghong Banner Armor to attack frantically for a while, but after dark, the battle situation evolved into thunder and rain. The defenders in the city have not fought with the Jurchens, holding the bird gun at the battlement of the city and the archers to shoot, although the lead of the bird gun can break the armor, but the accuracy is too poor, only to see the smoke of the city head, very rare to see the archers under the city fall. Du Du learned from the experience of fighting Lu Xiangsheng under the city of Xuanfu, and the archers under the city dispersed and drew their bows from the bottom to the top, and the head of the city soon suffered heavy casualties.

The armor soldiers climbed the ladder to the top of the city to kill, although the defenders were vulnerable, but under the supervision of the general soldier himself, there was no phenomenon of collapse. Du Du continued to exert pressure, but he was not in a hurry, the Qing soldiers and horses could not afford too much loss, this city could be captured of course, of course, it was the best, if it could not be achieved, Dolgon he set a strategy to besiege the city and send reinforcements. The cavalry of King Qin of Guanning Town was almost there, and this battle was carried out in the gaps.

"Report! Twenty miles outside the north gate, I saw the Ming army scouts! The scout cavalry rushed into the camp.

"It's good to be here!" Du Du walked out of the camp tent and said, "Order the defenders under the city to step up the siege!" ”

The shouting and killing of the city suddenly became intense, the soldiers holding torches in the city ran quickly through the streets, and the governor of Changping was awakened from his napping state, chattering endlessly, "Why haven't these reinforcements arrived, how slow Lu Xiangsheng is like a snail." ”

"Prince Rui dug a pit for Lu Xiangsheng, even if he knew that it was a pit, he had to jump down!" Du Du watched the sergeant of the army rush to the city wall with a ladder.

"Abatai, are the cavalry ready!"

"Waiting!" Behind him, a strong man in armor replied.

"Report, there are about 5,000 cavalry members who have shown their whereabouts, and they are rushing over along the official road north of Changping City."

"Report, the scouts of two or three hundred people have gone straight to Changping City!"

"Cavalry!" Du Du sneered, "The most elite cavalry in Xuanda Town is the Han man who defected from the grassland, wait, this is an opportunity that cannot be missed." ”

In the dark, Xiao Zhiyan touched the north city gate and shouted to the city wall: "I am a scout of the former army from Xuanda Town to reinforce the army, and I came to report the news, and the reinforcements will arrive soon." There was a trembling sound at the head of the city, and then a bang, which startled Xiao Zhiyan and hurriedly retreated a hundred steps.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "A few more bangs.

Xiao Zhiyan had no choice but to turn around, he didn't even dare to shout, and saw a cavalry chasing after him in the Qing Barracks not far away, turning around and retreating into the darkness.

Du Du pointed into the distance: "Abatai, come out, first take those scouts to appetize, and then meet the cavalry galloping to help, as long as you can bite them for an hour, Azig's men and horses will arrive soon." ”

"Yes!"

The heavy cavalry queue walked out of the camp and rushed towards the official road in the north direction of Changping. No one could have imagined that only 30,000 soldiers and horses were left behind to guard the baggage of the Qing captives under Tongzhou City, and half of the elites were around Changping City. Before the soldiers and horses of King Qin of the Ming Dynasty arrived in the capital, Dolgon risked dividing his troops into Lu Xiangsheng. The Qing captives did not set up an ambush at all, and Dolgon was most worried about scaring the reinforcements away, he was full of cavalry, as long as he could bite the reinforcements, he was not afraid that he would not be able to encircle and annihilate them.

Five thousand cavalry from the city of Changping bypassed and went straight to the opposite official road, Xiao Zhiyan heard the oncoming rumbling hooves, immediately turned around, and flew away. Abatai urged the cavalry to follow closely, but how could he keep up with the light cavalry.

In the ice and snow, the scouts rushed like flies to report the news, "The Qingyu cavalry is coming!" ”

Zhai Zhe waved his hand and ordered: "Stop moving forward and stand by on the spot." He was already worried about the aid.

About two quarters of an hour, Xiao Zhiyan rushed back and said, "The Qing capture of five thousand cavalry is ten miles away. "Abatai did not dare to march too fast, so he was far behind.

Zhai Zhe's gaze swept to the barren snow field and ordered: "Prepare to fight!" He had a feeling of being put in a cage, and although he hadn't seen it, it must have been not far away.

"Attack!" The cavalry mounted and rushed forward with torches.

"Zuo Ruo, the soldiers are in front, give Qing Yu a head-on blow!"
