At the same time as the Ming court held a ceremony to dedicate victory, Duoduo, the puppet prince of Qingyu, who was preparing to besiege Anping, received a military order from Dorgon to rush to Qingdu immediately to reinforce him.

Just like Duoduo's attack on the Jingbei Army, the current Prince of Rui, Dolgon, was also attacked by Lu Xiangsheng.

The main force of the Qing army attacked more than 20 counties in Gyeonggi Prefecture, and the money, grain, and youth obtained were incalculable, and the army of Dolgon traveled no more than 20 miles a day.

Lu Xiangsheng, who chased into Baoding, keenly discovered the fighter plane, and he believed that the main force of the Dongyu was carrying the army and civilian grain to the south to Zhending, and there were many rivers in Lixian and Anping, and the Dongyu would attack Zhending in the direction of Qingdu.

Therefore, the official road between Qingdu Mountain and Xiaogu Mountain is the only way for Duoduo's army, and Lu Xiangsheng ordered Shanxi General Soldier Hu Dawei, Xuanfu General Soldier Yang Guozhu, Datong General Soldier Wang Pu and others to lead Qinwang's army under their own banner to continue the pursuit.

He personally led more than 10,000 Tianxiong troops to cross the road, intending to set up an ambush in the area of Qingdu Mountain and defeat the main force of the Qing army in one fell swoop.

For Lu Xiangsheng's decision to advance lightly, Hu Dawei and others thought it was inappropriate, and Yang Guozhu, the general soldier of Xuanda, even bluntly said, "The crime of the eastern captives entering the Kou is in Guanning, and the outside cannot be enslaved in Liaodong, and the internal cannot cooperate with friendly troops, and sit back and watch the eastern captives plunder, I Xuanda has only 20,000 soldiers, how is this different from hitting a stone with an egg?" ”

Hu Dawei was also worried, and knelt down and begged: "The Liao army is afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and the governor is alone in the depths. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said angrily: "Your Majesty Shengming, the villain can be deceived for a while, and he will not be able to live forever, this official is not for personal work, but in order to save the people of Gyeonggi, and Xue Ge Lao can defeat Abatai in Gaoyang, and the combat power of the Dongyu is only like this, as long as we work together, we will be able to repel the Dongyu." ”

Lu Xiangsheng insisted on entering the army, and Hu Dawei and others also thanked Lu Xiangsheng for his loyalty and righteousness, and also followed his plan.

At the beginning of November, Lu Xiangsheng advanced to the vicinity of Xiaogu Mountain in Qingdu, and Lu Xiangsheng saw that although the mountain terrain here was not very dangerous, it connected to Qingdu Mountain, and the official road was narrow and rugged, which was really the best place to set up an ambush.

Lu Xiangsheng and his subordinate Lu Xiangtong went up the mountain to inspect the terrain, climbed high and looked, and found that the mountains here were extensive, and there were several canyons where ambushes could be set up.

The generals estimated that after their brigade was still in Dolgon, Dolgon would be unprepared, so they decided to set up an ambush in the grass and trees on both sides of the official road more than ten miles long in this small lonely mountain.

With the general Yang Lukai as the first ambush, Lu Xiang was the second volt, and he personally led the army to dispatch in the center, and ordered the soldiers to bury mines and gunpowder in the official road, and made an appointment with the generals.

Then the mines were detonated, and all the armies rose together, so that the Qing army would be defeated, and ordered the ambush units to carry dry rations so that the cooking smoke caused by cooking would not be detected by the Qing army.

Two days after the Ming army deployed the ambush, Dolgon led the brigade to arrive in Qingdu, Dolgon is also a battle-hardened general, after discovering that the terrain around Xiaogu Mountain is complicated, he stopped the pace of marching, and sent a sentry into the mountain to investigate the situation.

Compared with Dordor, Dolgon's marching formation was much more secure, and when there was no news from the reconnaissance, Dolgon actually stopped the pace of marching and set up a large camp north of Xiaogu Mountain.

Dolgon was very serious, which made Lu Xiangsheng very anxious, he rushed forward lightly, and the army only carried a few days' dry food, which was not enough to consume with the Eastern Captives, so he decided to raid the Qing army that night.

It was the beginning of November, the night moon and the dark wind were high, and Lu Xiangsheng gathered a large army and raided the Qing army in three ways.

He used the Chinese army guerrilla Yang Lukai to lead 3,000 troops to feint to attack the camp of the Chinese army in the east, and Lu Xiangtong, the general soldier of the left wing, led an army of 3,000 to raid the rear camp of the Qing army.

Due to the defeat of Abatai, after Dolgon set up camp, he also made some preparations, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners did not take off their armor and horses, and took turns to rest and recuperate.

However, the Tianxiong army is equipped with many strong crossbows, and they are all for Lu Xiangsheng's township party, and they have been fighting against the rogues for a long time, and the orders are extremely strict, after the attack order is issued.

Yang Lukai, who was in charge of the feint, took the lead in launching it, and they shot rockets into the sky towards the Qing army camp.

Although Dolgon strictly ordered all the armies not to slack off, but the Manchurian and Han armies under his command all sneered at the combat strength of the Ming army, thinking that Abatai was just a trick of the Ming army, and he received a great victory on the Hutuo River from Duoduo, and despised the Ming army even more.

Seeing the chaos of the Qing army, Lu Xiangsheng was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Yang Lukai to make a feint attack as the main attack, and at the same time personally led the whole army to attack, and strictly ordered, "The knife must see blood, people must be injured, horses must sweat, and violators will be killed!" "The intention is to complete the battle and break the main force of the Qing army in one fell swoop.

However, although the Qing army camp was chaotic, the Qing army was still on guard, and after the initial chaos, Tong Tulai, Ekesu and Li Shutai and other Manchu and Han generals gathered the elite of their headquarters and strangled the Ming army who broke into the camp.

The Tianxiong soldiers had the opportunity to sneak attack, and the Qing soldiers were many and brave, and the two sides fought to the death, and it was a draw.

This battle was fought from the night to the dawn, Lu Xiangsheng saw that the sky was about to shine, and he was afraid that he would be outnumbered, so he collected his troops and retreated to Xiaogushan.

In this battle, the Tianxiong soldiers lost more than 4,000 people, killed and wounded more than 3,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, burned 15 Qing military camps, and the Qing army also lost most of the population, livestock, and grain plundered by the Qing army in the melee, and many young men who were captured by the Qing army took the opportunity to escape from the camp.

After the Battle of Qingdu, due to the lack of military rations, Dolgon had to immediately lead his army to join forces with him in Zhending and attack Lu Xiangsheng.

And Lu Xiangsheng, who had achieved great results, immediately sent a message to Hu Dawei and other generals to join him in the Qingdu Division, and flew to the Guanning army to raise the diving department, and immediately transferred to Baoding, taking advantage of the exhaustion of grain and straw in the east to attack Dolgon.

Clinker, Gao Qiqian actually excused himself, and the Guan Ning army traveled more than ten miles a day, sitting back and watching the main force of Dolgon transfer to Zhending.

What made Lu Xiangsheng even more angry was that Yang Sichang actually used the reason that Yue Tuo's division was partial to the river, and removed Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong under Lu Xiangsheng, and Liu Guangzuo, the former chief soldier of Baoding, was transferred to Renqiu, so that Lu Xiangsheng's army and horses were even thinner, and there were only 10,000 people left.

There is a strong enemy outside, there are constraints inside, Lu Xiangsheng did not despair, after converging with Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu's army and horses, Lu Xiangsheng wanted to lead the army to Qingdu, in order to accumulate physical strength, the whole army to fight again.

However, Chen Xinjia's confidant Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, actually refused Lu Xiangsheng's headquarters to enter the city, and even refused to provide money, food and materials.

Hu Dawei, Yang Guozhu and other generals were furious when they saw that the court was so unfair, and Yang Guozhu cried and said: "We want to fight to the death, and the court disposes of it like this, where can we go for loyal and righteous people?" The governor does not avoid the arrows and stones, and repeatedly frustrates the spring chieftain, and now the court not only thins our military horses, but also does not provide money and food, but wants the governor to die? If the governor is not transferred to Xuanda, the last general will be repaid with death. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was also sad, and sighed for a long time: "I have been blessed with the grace of the country for a long time, and I can't wait to die, it is like a misfortune, and I would rather sacrifice my body and cut off my ears." ”

He refused the suggestion of Hu Dawei and others, and led the headquarters army to follow Dolgon into Zhending, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu couldn't bear Lu Xiangsheng to go to the dangerous place alone, and also supervised the army to follow.
