"Win!"

"Finally rushed up!"

The soldiers of the Qing army around Kangxi all cheered!

Kangxi was stunned for a moment, then looked incredulous, then rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then trembled and raised a monocular, and looked at the top of Hujia Mountain.

I only saw that a group of Eight Banners New Army wearing blue coats and caps had rushed to the top of the mountain, and planted a large national flag, the Triangle Yellow Dragon Flag, on the top of the mountain.

Really won? The Ming army, which had fought quite bravely just now, actually retreated!

It seems that the previous waves of offensives have also consumed them terribly! Kangxi Xin said: My Great Qing Heavenly Soldiers are really good again!

Thinking of this, Kangxi shouted to the left and right: "Follow me up the mountain. I want to see how the mountain that my good boy fought hard to build is so impregnable! ”

"Huh!"

When Kangxi was surrounded by a group of ministers of the southern study, ministers of the imperial court, guards, and guards pro-army, he climbed the highlands of Hujia Mountain, which the Qing army had paid a huge price for, and looked down, only to feel that there was a burst of blackness in front of him - tired and excited!

This battle was fought so fiercely, it really greatly exceeded his expectations, when climbing the Hujia Mountain and approaching the line of the Ming army's trenches, Kangxi saw that the dense corpses were almost all the corpses of the Qing army wearing blue coats (the Ming army took the corpses of their comrades when they retreated), the total number of which was afraid of one or two thousand!

And the victory came so suddenly. Just when the Qing army attacked in waves, suffering heavy casualties and was difficult to support, the Ming army's Hu Yigun Division actually abandoned their trench positions.

Moreover, Hu Yigun's department obviously suffered a lot of losses, so that after giving up the escort mountain, he no longer had the strength to pick another hill among the series of small hills in the southeast and southeast of the escort mountain.

In addition, they did not retreat southwest to the Jiehe River and join forces with the defeated Ming army brigade that fled there, but completely gave up resistance and retreated all the way to the east in the direction of Yishan, how resolutely they defended before, and how fast they ran now!

Needless to say, they must have suffered heavy casualties

Emperor Kangxi, who was already on the verge of survival, suddenly rose in his spirit after he was sure that he had won a crucial victory. I immediately decided to keep up the good work and continue to bet.

So he first transferred the left flank of the White Banner, firmly occupied Hujia Mountain and several nearby hills, and learned from the Ming army, digging trenches and building firing positions to ensure the safety of the flanks of the army.

Subsequently, Kangxi ordered the right-wing cavalry and horses of the Zhengbai Banner (Kangxi's Eight Banners New Army cavalry was very large, almost the left-wing cavalry, the right-wing infantry, plus the artillery and baggage soldiers directly under it) to move westward and open a cordon along the Baima River, while he himself personally led the new army with the yellow flag to enter Zou County.

As for the remaining new army with white, two blue, and two red flags, under the command of the five ministers of the Southern Study, including Laita, Feiyangu, Malage, Langtan, and Pengchun, together with the 15,000 Qing troops commanded by Jieshu who had opened from the city of Qufu (5,000 were left to guard Qufu), they pushed forward in the direction of the Jiehe River to the south.

This boundary river, as well as the White Horse River, is a tributary of Dushan Lake on the east side of the Grand Canal (next to the Grand Canal) at the junction of Jining Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture. If you advance downstream along the White Horse River and the Boundary River, it will cut off several key north-south roads in the east of the Universiade!

If the 65,000 Qing troops on this road achieve their goal, Kangxi's army will cut behind the two Ming armies that are attacking Jining Prefecture and Ziyang, the capital county of Yanzhou, and cut off their main retreat!

This trick is the legendary interspersed surrounding!

Kangxi's ability to use soldiers is really getting more and more powerful, not only learned to line up and shoot, but also mastered more advanced interspersed surrounding!

Since it will be interspersed with encirclement, let's fight as little as possible to line up and shoot hard, so that many people can die less.

Now there are fewer and fewer Manchurians, and if they continue to consume, the tail of a Han warlord like Yang Qilong will rise higher and higher, and maybe he will really become Yang Jian's second!

In addition, Kangxi also planned to divide Wu Zhou with him after defeating Li Yat-sen, and make the three points of the world into the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

In order to achieve these seemingly difficult goals, Kangxi had to defeat Li Yat-sen while preserving Manchuria's strength as much as possible. If he fights out the last bit of essence of Manchuria, he won't worry about Wu Zhou, even his own country. No, it should be his own life that may not be saved!

Thinking clearly about the key to this, Emperor Kangxi made up his mind to gamble everything, and used the method of interspersed encirclement to go around behind the Ming army and defeat Li Zhongshan's Northern Expeditionary Army at a relatively small cost.

In order to achieve his goal, Kangxi will really want to stud. If you don't seize the opportunity to stud, and wait for the tens of thousands of Ming troops to rush to the city of Beijing, it is difficult to say where the hearts of the heroes and heroes on the top of the mountain are located.

And his stud won, unsurprisingly, again!

The main force of the Fourth Army of the Ming Army, which had been forced back by the Qing army, also accelerated the pace of retreat to the south of the Jiehe River while Hu Yigun abandoned the guard of the mountain. Only a small number of musketeers armed with flintlock pistols and rifled lancers remained, although they were quite accurate in their marksmanship, and those musketeers would occasionally charge with sabers. But the number of Qing troops was too many. As many as 65,000!

Moreover, the Qing army also had a large number of cavalry, and soon scattered the small number of Ming troops behind the palace.

And the Ming army was defeated in a hurry, not only discarding a large amount of baggage, especially valuable military rations, but even blowing up the cupola cannons used for siege and the flowering shells used by cupola cannons!

As these siege weapons were blown up, huge fireballs rose up on the battlefield at dusk!

The Ming army, who retreated in a panic, also made an incredibly low-level mistake - after they evacuated the pontoon bridge on the boundary river, they actually forgot to set fire to the bridge! As a result, the Eight Banners soldiers with a Shandong accent under Jieshu rushed across the boundary river in a surprise attack!

Now the morale of the Qing army is even stronger!

When the night of the fifth day of October fell, the shouts of the Qing army filled the night sky, and the sound of gunfire and cannons and horses' hooves was also grounded.

In the second half of the night, the Qing army had broken through the shallow Beisha River that could be crossed, and rushed all the way to the Jinggou River (also a tributary of Dushan Lake) to the south of the Beisha River, and was finally repelled by the flintlock muskets and artillery of the Ming army that had set up a defensive line along the river.

And the Fourth Army of the Ming Army was indeed defeated quite miserably this time, from the Yihe River in the south of Qufu City, all the way to the Jinggou River south of Zou County, not only did the Jiehe River not hold, but even the Beisha River was lost! However, their casualties and captures were minimal.

After the sky gradually brightened, they began to stabilize the battle line and clean up the various units of the Qing army on the battlefield, but found that although they picked up a lot of tatters abandoned by the Ming army (most of them were destroyed and burned alive), they couldn't hand over a few heads of the Ming army, and they couldn't hand over a few prisoners of the Ming army, which was a bit difficult to repay!

And it's not easy for them to kill good and take credit. The Ming army had a bun. But now the battlefield of the war is in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and the common people are all shaved and braided, even if they are caught and cut off their heads, they can't report it!

The head is bald, saying that it is the Ming Army, Kangxi can't believe it, Kangxi is not stupid!

As for the Ming army and the Qing army taking away the corpses when they retreated, the Ming army and the Qing army all had this rule, but that was only done when there was an organized retreat!

The Ming army retreated so much that it was like a mountain of defeat, and it could still evacuate with the corpses of its comrades? That's too organized, isn't it? So organized, why retreat? Isn't it okay to organize to resist?

It's not that. Fraud?

By the morning of the sixth day of October, although many Qing generals felt that something was wrong, no one wanted to believe that they had finally won the battle. In the end, the enemy tried to lure the enemy into deep deception!

It's also too devastating!

And Kangxi, who was on the rise at this time, had just squinted a little, and was walking in Zou County at this time with his arms behind his back, looking left and right around a map table. I always feel that something is wrong!

Oh, as if his army had just punched out a long salient!

How is this a bit like a pocket array?

Kangxi had just thought of this, and Li Guangdi's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, Prince Kang has sent someone to report that the banner of Li Zhongshan, the general of the Ming Dynasty, has appeared on the south bank of the Jinggou River!" ”

Kangxi was taken aback: "Li Zhongshan is here?" How is it so fast? ”

He paused: "Is there any news from Jining Prefecture?" Any news from Ziyang? ”

Li Guangdi shook his head: "No. There has been no news from Jining Prefecture and Ziyang for two days, probably surrounded by the Ming army. ”

"Surrounding?" Kangxi frowned, "The Ming army there won't be unaware of the war here in Qufu and Zou County, right?" It's not far. Their back roads are about to be broken, and they still have the heart to besiege the city? ”

There must be something wrong with this!

Li Guangdi asked, "Your Majesty. Do you want to send two teams of cavalry to investigate? ”

"Pie! Must be sent! Kangxi said, "Send someone to Prince Kang and Lai Ta to send an order to let them put some cavalry on the south bank of the Beisha River to guard, and at the same time rely on the Beisha River and the Jiehe River to fortify!" ”

"Huh!"

When Kangxi sent cavalry to Ziyang, the capital county of Jining Prefecture and Yanzhou, on the wall of the fortress in Jining Prefecture, Chang Ning, Prince Gong of the Great Qing Dynasty, was holding a handwritten letter sent by his beloved sister-in-law, and watched in a daze as the cavalry he sent entered the camp of the Ming army outside the city

That's right, his cavalry is entering the camp of the Ming army! Because it was already empty in there, the Ming army left a brightly lit empty camp last night, and then quietly slipped away!

Tens of thousands of troops slipped under the noses of Chang Ning's department!

And that's not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is. Where did they slip away?

A whole legion, four divisions, a full 50,000 Ming troops, if they run out of food, it's okay to retreat, if not, then where will they go?

"Wang Ye," Wang Jinbaozhan, the fierce general who originally followed Daniel Zhang, is now Chang Ning's deputy, the official worships the governor of Shandong, leading thousands of Shandong Green Battalion new troops to take a shift in Jining Prefecture and Changning, at this time suddenly thought of something, and said to Chang Ning a little anxiously, "Should the Ming army go to attack Dongpingzhou?" Dongpingzhou is empty."

"No, it won't, right?" Chang Ning said no, but the expression on his face was both frightened and worried.

Dongping Prefecture has a sister-in-law Yang Xiaomi. And Yang Xiaomi's brother Yang Qilong led 30,000 troops to Beijing Qinwang! Daniel Zhang, the commander of the Nine Gates who guards Beijing, is still the one who Empress Yang picked up!

So it seems to be the best choice to assist Youjun with your sister-in-law

"Dongping Prefecture must not be lost!" Wang Jinbao is also the person promoted by Yang Xiaomi, otherwise Yang Xiaomi would not have written to him, "The fortress of Dongping Prefecture is stronger than that of Jining Prefecture!" And there are still hundreds of thousands of stone grain and hundreds of thousands of bundles of horse grass there. Once it falls into the hands of the Ming army, it will be a big deal! ”

Chang Ning can't hold his breath now, the Ming army may not go to fight Dongping Prefecture for Yang Xiaomi, but the hundreds of thousands of stone grain in Dongping Prefecture are definitely attractive to them. That's enough for 800,000 Ming troops to eat open for a few months!

With the grain of Dongpingzhou, Li Zhongshan may go straight to Beijing after defeating Kangxi

Thinking of this, Chang Ning ordered loudly: "Spread the decree of this king, the whole army will be drawn and moved to Dongpingzhou!" ”

"Huh!"

At the same moment, Bahai in Ziyang City, the capital city of Yanzhou, also found that the Ming army outside the city had left!

However, he did not hesitate like Chang Ning, but decided to go to Empress Yang at the first time.

Of course, his old man didn't think anything wrong about Emperor Kangxi's wife, but his savings for many years as an official were stored in Credit Suisse Hall!

And he has been a character in Chang Ning's entrainment all these years.

Ba Hai, who has played politics for half his life, of course knows that once Chang Ning and Empress Yang fall, he will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

So now no matter what, we have to hold together with Queen Yang, Chang Ning, and Yang Qilong first.

Moreover, Dongping Prefecture is indeed not to be lost!

As for whether Kangxi is dead or alive...... Leave it to the ancestors, the Buddha, and the immortal heaven to bless it!

The behavior of Chang Ning and Ba Hai, the two loyal kings and loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty, undoubtedly pitted their Kangxi Emperor a little!

Because Li Zhongxian, the second army of the Ming army, who had been stationed in peace under the city of Jining Prefecture, did not go to Dongpingzhou.

It is impossible for Li Yat-sen and Li Zhongxian to know that Empress Yang sent away all the Qing troops guarding the city, and then sang the empty city plan there alone. Therefore, Li Zhongshan would not have thought that Li Zhongxian's troops could quickly conquer Dongpingzhou.

And now there are more important targets than Dongpingzhou and Empress Yang - that is, Emperor Kangxi himself and the main force of the Qing army led by him!

The "pocket array" that Kangxi found on the map before was actually carefully arranged by Li Zhongshan and Zhou Chang!

However, they didn't expect that such a pocket array would be able to put Kangxi in.

They only temporarily revised the "pocket array plan" after that Kong Shenggong sent someone to report that the Qing army brigade came from Qufu.

At that time, they were only going to wipe out 350,000 Qing troops, take Qufu in their hands by the way, and finally get 350,000 stone of grain from Kong Shenggong.

In this way, the great cause of the Northern Expedition will be stable!

But no one expected that Emperor Kangxi would lead nearly 100,000 Qing troops to rush over!

Isn't this a thousand miles to give people's heads, and the gift is light and affectionate?

How can such a good pockmarked head not be chopped off with a knife?

And to eliminate Kangxi, the two legions prepared by Li Zhongshan and Zhou Chang, with a total of 100,000 troops, are not enough.

100,000 vs. 100,000 ...... There is no generation difference between the weapons of the two sides now, and the number of cavalry of the Qing army is still overwhelming!

It was not easy for the Ming army to achieve victory, and it was not easy to achieve a annihilating victory...... Gotta get more troops!

Fortunately, Jining Prefecture and Ziyang are not far from Qufu and Zou County, that is, dozens of miles and hundreds of miles, and you can get there in a hurry.

Therefore, Li Zhongshan and Zhou Chang immediately adjusted their deployment.

On the one hand, let Hu Yigun try to lure the enemy, and lure Emperor Kangxi into the trap as much as possible.

On the other hand, Li Zhongxian and Chang Wei were asked to retreat from Jining Prefecture and Ziyang City. Then they moved to the north and east of the Baima River and Qufu respectively, and fought to beat Kangxi with 200,000 troops from four legions!

At the same time, Yang Xiaomi's handwritten letter to Yang Qilong and Zhao Liangdong finally arrived at the Tianjin Acropolis.

Yang Qilong and Zhao Liangdong waited for Yang Xiaomi's reply in the past few days, while quietly watching the big game between the Ming, Qing, and Wednesday countries, and at the same time they also contacted Daniel Zhang, the commander of the Nine Gates, and also got a shocking news from Daniel Zhang Kangxi actually left a back hand here in Beijing!

The old empress dowager Bumu Butai guards the crown prince Baoqing (the son of Yang Xiaomi), and she also controls 50,000 Horqin iron horsemen.

Although these 50,000 iron horsemen are not all in Beijing, they are not too far away. As long as the old queen mother gives an order, these cavalry will march into the city of Beijing!

In addition, there are still some Eight Banner soldiers in Beijing, although the number is not too many, but it is still possible to hold on to the Forbidden City until the Horqin cavalry arrives.

In addition, Yang Qilong and Zhao Liangdong also got the news that tens of thousands of Ming troops were coming from the Daimyo Mansion towards Beijing City!

This is a serious Ming Wangshi...... The closer they get to Beijing, the higher the enthusiasm of the people here in Beizhili to welcome the Ming Dynasty!

Therefore, Yang Qilong, Zhao Liangdong, Shi Lang, and Zheng Desheng are all a little undecided.

At this moment, Yang Xiaomi's handwritten letter urging them to enter Jingqin Wang was delivered!
