Chongzhen was the next day to Xia Town.

It was closer to the new canal in Xiazhen, and it was a boat ride along the river, so it took three days to arrive.

But when Chongzhen arrived in Xia Town, he learned that Huang Degong had led a town of border troops north along the canal to Yanzhou two days earlier, because Jiannu had fought to Linqing.

Huang Degong knew the importance of Xia Town, but he had the responsibility to defend the territory, so Huang Degong only brought a town of border troops north to support Linqing.

Chongzhen was not angry.

A large-scale field battle with Jiannu is a send-off, but a small-scale field battle with a scale of 1,000 people can still be fought, after all, according to historical records, Jiannu who went south was a partial division.

Huang Degong's army combat effectiveness is also okay.

Chongzhen immediately called Jin Xuan and Zheng Hongkui to him.

This time he went north, and more than 2,700 Ding of Kim Hyun also followed, but they have not yet been integrated.

As for Hu Guozhu's 1,000 Yiding, they have already become Chongzhen's de facto personal guards, so naturally they will follow Chongzhen wherever he goes.

"Jin Aiqing, Zheng Aiqing, you two stay."

"Holy!" Kim Hyun and Zheng Hongkui changed their faces when they heard this.

Jin Xuan even strongly advised: "Saint, it is better for the minister to lead the five military camps north to support." ”

Zheng Hongkui also took the initiative to ask: "Shengshang, Jing Nanbo is going north along the canal, and the minister will take the sailor to sail down the river, and he can catch up with them in two days, and our sailor can move back and forth on the canal, Jiannu's Hongyi cannon is difficult to hit us, but our Franc cannon can hit them......"

"Alright, you two don't talk about it." Chongzhen interrupted directly.

"Jing Nanbo has the responsibility to defend the territory, so it is no problem to lead his division north to rescue Dongchang Mansion, but our established national policy at this stage is to defend Huanghuai and avoid field battles with Jiannu as much as possible."

"Therefore, I will not fight hard with Jiannu."

Hearing this, Jin Hyun and Zheng Hongkui were a little relieved.

As long as you don't fight hard with Jiannu, a thousand Yiding is still enough to protect the safety of the saint.

"You two must guard Xia Town, Jiannu is likely to have more than one way, maybe there will be another Jiannu suddenly coming out from the direction of Teng County, don't let Jiannu be caught off guard."

"Remember, Ministers." Kim Hyun and Jung Hongkui solemnly agreed.

Chongzhen immediately ordered a thousand Yiding to go north.

……

Another day passed.

The Jiannu division led by Ao Bai had advanced to Ansan Town in Dongping Prefecture.

At this time, it had been four full days since Jiannu was blocked in Linqing Prefecture.

Four days ago, Ao Bai confidently asked Gao Di to surrender, but was sternly refused.

Ao Bai was furious and immediately ordered Gao Di to collect wood to build a siege ladder, and then launched an ant-attached siege to Linqing City, but was met with desperate resistance from Lingqi of Linqing Zhizhou and Linqing soldiers and civilians.

Gao Di led the army to storm for a long time, but he failed to capture Linqing.

After Zu Zerun's Zhenghuang Banner Han Army followed, he could only stare dryly.

Because the Zhenghuang Banner Han Army did not bring a red-coated cannon this time, only a relatively light Franc cannon, but it was impossible to attack the city by relying on the Franc cannon, it was too difficult.

The siege of the city has to be a Hongyi cannon.

Zu Zerun and Gao Di suggested that Ao worship the siege of the city.

Then he sent people to transfer Hongyi artillery from Beijing to support.

Ao Bai didn't want to waste too much time in a small Linqing state.

Because Ao Bai knew that this time, in addition to them with yellow flags to appease Shandong, there were also two Jiala with white flags to appease Shanxi, and the leader of the troops was his old enemy Jueluo Bahana.

In fact, not only Ao Bai and Kyaw Lo Bahana are old enemies.

The grievances between the two yellow flags and the two white flags have also been around for a long time.

After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he reversed the two white flags in the hands of him and his son Hauge with the two yellow flags in the hands of Azig and Duoduo.

Although the personnel have not changed, the flag leader has been reversed.

In other words, the two white flags now are the two yellow flags of the old slave era.

Therefore, in the hearts of the old people with two white flags, such as Jueluo Bahana, they are the two yellow flags that are red, and they are the flag leaders led by the Great Khan.

In the face of the contempt from the soldiers of the two white flags, the soldiers of the two yellow flags such as Baiyintu and Aobai were naturally unhappy.

Even so, the two yellow flags and the two white flags only look at each other unpleasantly, far from the point where water and fire are incompatible, and what really makes the two sides fall out is the battle for the throne after the death of Huang Taiji.

The two white flags were naturally resolute in support of Dolgon's succession to the throne.

The two yellow flags supported Hauge, and the two sides almost caught fire.

Later, because Dolgon turned to support Fulin's succession, the crisis was resolved, but the beam between the two yellow flags and the two white flags was knotted, and it is now incompatible.

Therefore, Ao Bai is not willing to lose to anyone who is not willing to lose to Kyaw Lo Bahana.

Ao Bai had no place to vent his anger, so he decided to bypass Linqing City first and go to the hinterland of Dongchang Mansion to find a few market towns without city walls to carry out several waves of massacres in order to vent the fire in his heart.

By the way, you can also grab a wave of people's wealth.

As for Dolgon's military orders, they have long been left behind by Aobai.

As a result, he couldn't stop killing as soon as he killed, and he directly entered the hinterland of Yanzhou Mansion and killed all the way to Ansan Town.

Looking at Ansan Town, which was slowly unfolding in the morning light, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Ao Bai's mouth, as if he had seen the women and children in the town crying, and the men were killed in rows.

and all the goods and cattle of the town, which belonged to them.

"Lord Aobai, it seems that the Han people in the town are going to surrender." Gaudi whispered.

"I didn't see it." Ao Bai snorted coldly, and said to Yabran again, "Do it according to the old rules!" ”

Attacking the market town without the protection of the city wall is a beautiful difference, naturally it is not the turn of the Han army flag, let alone the turn of the Gaodi army, it can only be the Jiannu with the yellow flag.

"The warriors with the yellow flag have heard clearly,"

"Lord Ao has an order, all the men are killed, and the women and children are left!"

"Looting property and livestock is not allowed to be hidden, according to the official position, everyone has a share!"

"Baturu! Baturu! Baturu! The more than 1,500 Jiannu with yellow flags cheered enthusiastically.

The more than 1,500 clothed minions who followed the master of Jiannu also cheered, because they also had benefits, and if the master was happy, he might reward them with a woman.

Amid the cheers, Yabran was the first to ride his horse to the town, and an elderly Han gentleman was about to come forward to surrender with a worship watch, but Yabran couldn't help but cut him to the ground.

"Murder! Killed! Jiannu has killed someone! Come on! ”

The two house slaves who followed behind the Han gentleman turned around and ran.

Jabran sneered, put the knife back into its sheath, and took out the big bow.

Draw your bow and shoot an arrow at one of the house slaves.

With a single thud, a three-foot-long arrow pierced the slave's body and crucified him to the ground.

The other house slave fell to the ground with a limp, and before he could get up, the iron hooves had already trampled over him, and hundreds of Jiannu iron horsemen poured into Ansan Town.

After a while, Ansan Town was boiling like a pot of oil.

Seeing this, Ao Bai couldn't help but laugh cruelly.

However, in the next moment, the smile on Aobai's face froze.

Because two trumpets suddenly sounded from the south of Ansan Town.

Immediately followed by the unique swan sound of the Ming army's horn, the Ming army?!

Gao Di and Zu Runze, who were following Ao Bai, also turned around in amazement and looked south.

But I saw that an infantry army was slowly driving along the east bank of the canal, most of the soldiers were wearing bright red mandarin duck battle jackets, wearing pointed hats and helmets, and a sun and moon flag in the formation was waving in the wind, which was really a Ming army.

This Ming army of about 4,000 people, as well as side vans, has been lined up in a rigorous battle formation.

Seeing this, Ao Bai's face was slightly embarrassed, this wave of carelessness, because this way south, except for the stubborn resistance of the Ming army in a few cities such as Linqingzhou City and Dongchangfu City, there was no decent resistance, so that everyone had a heart of contempt for the enemy, and even did not collect it overnight.

Thanks to this is the Ming army, if it is a thief, it will be troublesome.

However, in addition to being embarrassed, Ao Bai wanted to laugh a little.

When did the Ming army become so bold again?

How dare you go outside the city to fight with their Eight Banners?

Zu Runze was still very careful, and said to Aobai: "Lord Aobai, hurry up and let the warriors with the yellow flag take it back, this Ming army seems to look a little different, be careful." ”

"Hey, since you've already started killing, how can you seal the knife so quickly."

Ao Bai waved his hand and said: "As for the Ming army in front of you, you don't even need your Yellow Flag Han Army to make a move, just hand it over to General Gao's people to solve it." ”

"Mr. Gao, no problem, right?"

The last sentence is addressed to Gaudí.

What else can Gaudi say? I could only respond with a sigh.

Soon, Jiannu's side also set up a battle formation.

In front is Gao Di's 3,000 soldiers, behind is Zu Runze's Zhenghuang Banner Han Army, a total of more than 1,500 people, and finally Ao Bai and his personal guards more than 50 horsemen.

As for the more than 1,500 Jiannu with yellow flags,

At this time, they were taking their respective coats to burn, kill, and plunder in Ansan Town.

In fact, this is not because there is no one in Aobai's eyes, but on purpose.

Ao Bai has been fighting for more than ten years, how can he make such a mistake?

Ao Bai actually wanted to pretend to use Gaodi's surrender army to consume the Ming army first, and then let Zu Runze's Zhenghuang Banner Han Army launch a fatal blow to the Ming army, and finally let the flag soldiers with yellow flags pick the fruits of victory.

In order to observe the entire battlefield more clearly, Ao Bai took more than 50 horsemen to climb a small dirt slope that was not high.

Standing on the dirt slope and condescendingly, with the help of the monocular given to him by Huang Taiji, he can clearly see the battlefield by the canal.

I saw that the Ming army had changed its formation.

The van that was originally placed in front has been pushed to the left and right.

Ao Bai couldn't help nodding secretly, the Ming army was all a rabble, but the generals of the Ming army still had a lot of people who could fight, and the main general of the Ming army on the opposite side was also a knowing soldier, and the purpose of protecting the wings with a partial van was to prevent their cavalry with yellow flags from giving him a fatal blow from both wings at a critical moment, but unfortunately, this was still in vain.

As soon as the camera turned, Ao Bai set his eyes on his own infantry formation.

I saw that the three thousand soldiers of the high rank had lined up in a neat queue, and were marching forward with neat steps, and the first row was a knife player, carrying a wooden card one person high.

This kind of wooden sign is far less sturdy than the chariot of the Eight Banners.

But it's enough to defend against arrows and guns.

The back three rows are as usual all firecrackers, holding birds.

The last three rows are spearmen, who are responsible for protecting the firefighters.

It can be seen from here that the Eight Banners have truly entered the era of firearms, and the proportion of firearms has exceeded thirty percent, which has exceeded the Spanish phalanx of the same era.
