Under the starry sky, the soldiers and civilians in Qingzhou City were rejoicing and noisy. The Ming army won one victory after another and the Tatar heads were piled at the gate of the city. Both ordinary people and Ming army officers and soldiers felt that the days of pride and pride were coming. Think about the Tatars in the past ten years. Zi was domineering and domineering in the Ming Dynasty, as if he was in a deserted land. The incompetent soldiers in the court were afraid of fighting, which made him arrogant and domineering to the extreme.
Now, the thousands of heads at the city gate are a warning: Those who offend our Ming Dynasty will never come back!
Dorgon has received this warning.
The Qing army camp twenty miles north of Qingzhou City was in chaos. As Chang Yu expected, Dorgon had already decided to get out of the seclusion as quickly as possible. This time he sent troops without looking at Lao Huangli's step on the nail. If there is any further delay, what chaos will happen again? There is a possibility of not going back.
A group of people worked together for one night to formulate a comprehensive plan that was completely secret but had long been seen by Chang Yu and Li Yan: to attack Linzi to cover up others' eyes and ears, the camp's supplies would go north first, and the main force behind them would delay as much time as possible. They knew clearly that only the front foot could As soon as it is raised, the Ming army will chase it, so it must be done quietly.
In the past two days, they deliberately sent detective horses to investigate Linzi City with great fanfare, just to attract the attention of the Ming army in Qingzhou City. When the fire was almost over, they sent Kong Youde and Nikan with three thousand troops to attack Linzi to perform a big show. As for Kong Youde, he wanted to fake it. He didn't care. Anyway, in order to attract the Ming army's firepower, it was better to make it bigger and more real. As for this, as soon as Kong Youde left, he ordered the baggage to be pulled out of the camp, and more than ten thousand captive people were strung together into carts to carry their bags. Leave the camp and head north.
Unexpectedly, not long after, intelligence was received that a Ming army stopped Kong Youde twenty miles away, and the two armies were fighting!
Dorgon was shocked and angry when he heard the news. He was shocked that the Ming army reacted so quickly. Did they come by accident or were they prepared? What made him angry was that the Ming army was a little unprepared now and did not take the Qing cavalry seriously at all. , two thousand soldiers and horses dared to take the initiative to intercept and invite a battle!
Could it be that the Qing cavalry was really defeated? Dorgon was furious and ordered Kong Youde to annihilate the Ming army at all costs!
As the old saying goes, there are no coincidences. It seemed to be destined. When Kong Youde, who was seriously injured, returned to the camp, he was immediately treated with high standards by Dorgon.
For the honor of the Qing cavalry, a veteran general took the lead and fought bloody battles. He was seriously injured and refused to retreat from the front line. He commanded the soldiers to fight bravely against the enemy and the well-equipped Ming army to the end! The bloody spirit of the Qing Dynasty cavalry was revealed!
"You are worthy of being the mainstay of our Qing Dynasty!" Dorgon praised him personally for dressing his wounds. Even a group of Qing generals who originally looked down on the Han people were impressed by him. Nikan even assisted him and said that he was on the battlefield. How brave he was to fight with the ghost-faced eunuch several times...
As for the loss of more than a thousand troops, Dorgon was of course heartbroken but also understood that the eunuch himself was an elite soldier and was supported by heavy armor, but even if he had to do it over again, he would still order a bloody battle to defeat the Qing cavalry. The majesty came to let the Ming army know that the Qing cavalry was still the same warrior who dominated the world!
What's more, he felt more comfortable when he heard that the Ming army also suffered heavy casualties.
The surrounding area was sealed for ten miles, and no flies were allowed to fly in. Dorgon once again issued martial law. There must be no news about the withdrawal of the baggage to the north, otherwise the Ming army will definitely pursue them. If they attack regardless of the cost, with his current troops and horses, It won't be a defeat, but the baggage will definitely not be saved.
But how can that be done? What he did by venturing into the customs was to rob people and animals of their property.
Can we still attack Linzi? To be precise, can we still use smoke bombs?
Put it, you must put it, and it must be bigger! After a brief discussion with the generals, Dorgon decided to send troops to attack Linzi again, and at the same time divide another force to attack Xincheng County (today's Huantai). He wanted to muddy the water for dozens of miles around so that the Ming army could not see clearly. After taking action, when he realized that the baggage had crossed the Yellow River, the rear of the army was no longer afraid of the Ming army's pursuit.
Moreover, if we really attack those small towns, it will be a source of income. Why not kill two birds with one stone?
In the commander's tent, the generals all offered their suggestions and discussed how to divide their forces to attack the city. During this period, Geng Zhongming, who had always said little, suddenly said, in addition to attacking the city to hide the public's eyes and ears: "I have a delaying strategy that can delay the Ming army!" As he said this, Dorgon heard that Whispering in a low voice.
After a while, Dorgon's eyes narrowed into a thin line, and he was silent for a long time before he nodded slightly: "You can give it a try!"
It was late at night, and the palace of Prince Heng was deserted. Huang Degong and others had not returned from admiring the moon, and Li Yan had fallen asleep early due to physical injuries. Even Li Muxian, who had gone to the city to absorb the essence of the moon on the pretext of practicing Taoism, hurriedly left the palace and disappeared without knowing where he was.
Chang Yu was sitting alone in the courtyard, with a pot of tea beside him. He raised his head towards the bright moon and looked around. Qiao Sanxiu was taking a nap at the entrance of the courtyard. The rest of his relatives and attendants had gone out to have fun. They stayed by Chang Yu's side every day. Today, everyone was surrounded by them. Leave happily.
As soon as Song Luoyu appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, Qiao Sanxiu jumped up, unsheathed the steel knife and let out a long breath when she saw the person coming: "Little girl, you are going to scare people to death!"
"Master Qiao is so smart. You heard me even though I was so quiet on purpose. I admire you." Song Luoyu smiled and said to Chang Yu who was lying in the courtyard: "Mr. Factory, you haven't rested so late."
"Waiting for you!" Chang Yu stretched, and Song Luoyu walked in with a smile: "The factory owner knows that the humble job is coming!"
"That's right, our whole body is sore and I'm counting on you to come." Chang Yu snorted, and Song Luoyu came forward very wisely: "I'm here to rub your shoulders." After saying that, he pressed on Chang Yu's shoulders and began to pinch them.
"To be courteous for nothing, either for an official position or for money, tell me, why are you doing this?" Chang Yu narrowed his eyes.
"The factory owner has always tried his best, but today I'm going to make a mistake. I don't ask for an official position, and I don't ask for money." Song Luoyu looked relaxed, and Chang Yu said, "Is this a proposal?"
Song Luoyu was ashamed: "If the factory owner does this again, he will leave his humble position."
Chang Yu was feeling comfortable being squeezed by her, so he quickly said: "Okay, okay, then why did you come to our house without sleeping in the middle of the night?"
"Please fight," Song Luoyu said solemnly.
Chang Yu's face immediately darkened: "If you keep messing around, I will send you back to the capital immediately!"
Song Luoyu waved his hand quickly: "No, no, no, factory supervisor, please don't misunderstand me. You are not asking for a fight because of your lowly position, you are asking for a fight for my brother!"
Chang Yu rolled his eyes and sighed: "Luo Yu, our family knows what you are thinking, but you don't need to be so anxious. Your brother just fought a tough battle today and seems to have been injured a little. You have to Let him take a breath..."
"I know the humble position, but...hey, the factory supervisor has countless fierce generals, and my brother is an introvert. If I don't help him, when will it be his turn to go to war...How can I marry a sister-in-law if I don't do meritorious service... …”
"You can do it." Chang Yu curled his lips: "Since Prince Heng has fallen in love with your brother, the dowry alone can last him a lifetime. Besides, don't think that our family doesn't know how much private money you have saved. Don't forget that." They are all rewarded by our family..."
"Factory Lord" Song Luoyu interrupted Chang Yu's serious tone and said: "Although I am from a humble Jianghu background, I am a Jianghu person with a strong backbone..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking." Seeing her seriousness, Chang Yu quickly interrupted: "I agree, if there is a war in the future, your brother will definitely go up."
Song Luoyu was overjoyed and quickly thanked him: "Then let my brother rest for a few days and wait until he comes back..."
"Don't wait to look back." Chang Yu looked up at the starry sky: "You can fight at any time, but from tomorrow onwards I'm afraid I won't even have time to stretch..."
Song Luoyu was surprised: "I heard from General Li that I am in a humble position and say that if I don't rush to chase the Tatars, I can rest for three to five days and it will be fine."
"General Li is right. There is no need to rush to chase the Tatars, but saving the common people is an urgent matter."
"Save the people?" Song Luoyu was a little confused.
She couldn't understand.
Chang Yu and Li Yan can easily guess Dorgon's intentions with their minds. How can they not figure out his next move? Although they suffered a disastrous defeat today, the smoke bombs will continue to be released, and they will be released on a large scale. Even Chang Yu can do it, such as being able to confuse his opponent and rob him easily.
So when everyone was admiring the moon in the evening, while chatting with Li Yan, he still guessed that the surrounding water would be very muddy tomorrow!
But Chang Yu's bottom line is that it's okay to muddy the waters, but he can't lose another city. In short, he will pour water wherever the Qing army sets fire.
At present, the closest ones are Helinzi and Xincheng in the west. They are also one of the few small towns that survived the large-scale raids when the Qing army came, but they are now their biggest targets for setting fire to build momentum.
When you came, your army was in full swing, I couldn't do anything to you. When you left, if you slipped away with your tail between your legs, I might be able to spare you lightly, but if you still want to commit evil, how can I tolerate you?
If you show up, you'll be beaten to death!
