Instead of engaging in a decisive battle with the main force of the Qing Dynasty, they sent troops to harass their food search teams, thus inducing the Qing Dynasty to go south to Ruzhou.
This approach has proven to be quite effective.
Within a few days, the number of captured Qing troops exceeded 3,000. Although they were all miscellaneous soldiers and former Ming troops, Zhu Yixi did not dislike them and gathered them all together.
Duduo, who was in Luoyang, waiting for the arrival of food and grass baggage, soon noticed the fishy nature of the food search team.
After an investigation, Qin Jun was indeed discovered.
"How courageous a dog!" Duduo laughed angrily: "I didn't go to beat him, but he dared to provoke me, pretending to be King Yu, how brave he is."
"Your Majesty, it seems that Zhu Yixi is well prepared!"
Geng Zhongming squinted his eyes and said, "Did he join forces with the intruder?"
"This is impossible!"
Duduo shook his head and spread his beard, saying in a deep voice: "I guess he wants to take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits!"
"It's a good idea!" Kong Youde also said hurriedly: "Thanks to the prince's sharp eyes, how can I hide this little trick from you?"
"Hahaha!" Duduo felt comfortable being photographed, touched his beard, and said proudly:
"It can be seen from the battle of Luoyang that the intruders are just a fake, only superficial. They place their hopes on Tongguan to defend it, so there is no rush."
"As for Zhu Yixi, I originally thought that after defeating Xi'an, I would hunt rabbits for him, but I never thought that I would show up."
"What do you mean, Your Majesty, attack Huguang first?"
Geng Zhongming raised his eyebrows and said with some suspicion: "I'm afraid this is a violation of the regent's military order!"
"Are you using the regent to pressure me?"
"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. How can we all listen to Beijing?"
Duduo frowned and showed his power: "If something goes wrong, I will take full responsibility for it."
Geng Zhongming wanted to say something more, but Kong You pulled his sleeves and was held back.
In an instant, Geng Zhongming suddenly realized that although the Regent was the biological brother of Prince Yu, there was still a gap between them last year.
Duduo robbed Fan Wencheng's wife last year and was fined fifteen niulu. He also changed the flag from the Zhengbai flag of Shangsanqi to Xiangbai flag.
On weekdays, they are unanimous to the outside world, but privately, it is hard to say anything.
"When will the red artillery arrive?"
Duduo turned around and asked about Kong Youde.
I feel extremely uncomfortable questioning a humble Han like Geng Zhongming.
Even King Sanshun was just a slave of the Qing Dynasty. He dared to question his master, which was really audacious.
"We have already passed Mengjin, and we will arrive in two days."
Kong Youde hurriedly responded with a smile on his face.
"When the artillery arrives, we will unite our army and go south to capture the fake King Yu of Ruzhou Prefecture alive."
Duduo suddenly became excited: "I want to see why he is qualified to be called King of Yu."
"twitter--"
The two of them knelt down on one knee, revealing their shiny foreheads and their slender rat braids, which looked particularly conspicuous.
On December 15th, Duduo led tens of thousands of elite troops south from Luoyang and approached Ruzhou.
At the same time, Zhu Yixi had already been in Ruzhou, digging deep trenches, repairing the city wall, and using soil and cement to turn it into a bastion state, just in case.
Moreover, under Ruzhou City, two military camps were built, forming a horn shape with the city, and their defense value was almost full.
Finally hearing the news that Duduo was going south, Zhu Yixi sighed: "Jiannu has really gone south."
"Your Highness, I don't understand because of my humble position. Isn't this Jiannu afraid of traps and ambushes? Governor Sun's Yin Jian was not far away back then!"
When Chen Yongfu heard this, he couldn't help but wonder, wouldn't the Manchus learn their lesson?
"Chen Tongzhi, you don't understand Jiannu."
You Shiwei shook his head and said coldly: "The Jian slaves are raging in Liaodong and have entered the customs several times. They have long been arrogant."
"They don't like our ambush at all, and they even want to kill us all!"
"That's true."
Zhu Yixi thought about the memories of the Manchus in her mind, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "In order to intimidate us, Jiannu claimed that 'the Eight Banners are invincible if they are less than ten thousand, and if they are more than ten thousand, they are invincible'."
"Today, I want to break this rumor."
"Three kings, take them all."
The respectful king Kong Youde, the Huaishun king Geng Zhongming, and Prince Duduo of Yu.
If you kill the three kings in formation, you will definitely become famous all over the world.
Thinking this way, His Highness Prince Yu is already imagining such a wonderful scene.
On December 20th of the 17th year of Chongzhen, only ten days before the first year of Hongguang, 50,000 Qing troops traveled 200 miles and arrived at the gates of Ruzhou City.
The weather was not beautiful, and the heavy snow that had been suppressing for a long time suddenly fell.
The entire Henan is shrouded in a land of ice and snow, which is more than a foot deep, which is extremely rare.
This was the first time for many soldiers of the Qin Army to see such snowflakes. When had there been such snowflakes in the south?
Ruzhou City, standing on the high ground, is as stable as a mountain.
Even though cotton-padded jackets were prepared, they were still not enough for the heavy snow. A large amount of firewood was continuously burned to keep the soldiers warm.
Frostbite and wind chill are constant and unavoidable.
For the Qing army, this heavy snowfall was just normal for them who were born in Liaodong. Winter was even more bitter and cold than this.
The war situation suddenly became powerful for me.
"The icing on the cake!"
Duduo looked at Ruzhou City and sighed to Geng and Kong: "This is God's plan to destroy the Ming army. The Immortal God will bless you."
Geng and Kong were also smiling.
The generals in the army are also quite happy. Although fighting in winter is hard, it is self-interested.
Since God was kind, Duduo thanked Changshengtian and asked the cavalry to prepare to destroy the two military camps.
Twenty red-coated cannons were lined up in a fan shape, looking majestic and imposing.
Duduo, Geng Zhongming, and Kong Youde were bundled up tightly and stood on the command tower, staring ahead.
"Rumble--"
Even though the wind was bone-chilling and the snow was falling, the power of the artillery was still undiminished, and it continued to bombard the military camp to the east.
Even if the military stronghold that relies on it is solidly built, for the artillery, it is just the difference between one piece of paper and two pieces of paper.
A large amount of wood was blown away, and within half an hour, cracks several feet long were opened in the strong military stronghold.
"kill--"
Duduo sneered and said with great pride: "Let the men take advantage of the opportunity to rush in, leaving no trace of armor behind."
A large number of cavalry rushed out, and they could only wait for the infantry to fill in the trenches before chasing them down.
Without waiting for the cavalry to react, this army broke through the military camp on its own and headed towards Ruzhou City.
Seeing this, Duduo shook his head and said: "You are seeking your own death."
So, he stopped caring and looked towards the west.
Immediately, the majestic red-coated cannon was aimed at the military camp to the west.
As expected, the seemingly solid military stronghold was simply vulnerable.
His troops, who were actually covered in armor like iron shields, also abandoned their camps and retreated in an orderly manner.
For a while, Baqi couldn't find any loopholes.
Duduo and others were also high-spirited, and their continued victory hid their caution.
