After the Qing army occupied Tai'an County, Dolgon divided the Qing army into two parts.

A part of the 150,000 Manchu and Mongolian iron cavalry and 50,000 Han banner troops led by Prince Yu Duoduo, a total of 200,000 Qing troops went east out of Tai'an County, swept Laiwu, Yantai and other Shandong counties that were originally controlled by the Ming Dynasty, intending to quickly take the whole of Shandong and create a stable rear for the main force of the army to continue the southern expedition.

The other part of the 600,000 main army led by Dolgon went all the way south to attack Jining City, and the last two armies will be divided into Xuzhou, cross the Huai River from Xuzhou, and sweep across the Jianghuai north of the Yangtze River.

Dolgon knew very well that this war could not end soon, because the intelligence that has been showing that not only the Qing Dynasty has been preparing for half a year, but also the Ming Dynasty has also been preparing for half a year.

Dolgon and Zhu Cihong's strategic conception was very different, both wanted to start a decisive battle in Xuzhou, Zhu Cihong wanted to rely on Xuzhou Jiancheng, keep the rich land of Jianghuai, and even defeat the Qing army, so that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was greatly damaged from then on, and could not go south for several years. And Dolgon is most afraid of the Ming relying on the Yangtze River moat to defend, because in this way, although the Qing Dynasty can occupy a large area of Jianghuai land, but want to cross the Yangtze River moat to completely destroy the Ming Dynasty success rate is not large, so his final idea is to lure the main army of the Ming Dynasty to Xuzhou decisive battle, if the Ming Emperor can personally conquer it would be better, with Dolgon's analysis of the Ming Emperor, this possibility is very large.

"Hmph, Zhu Cihong, I hope you don't disappoint this king." Dorgon sneered and muttered.

The reason why he only sent 30,000 Manmeng iron cavalry to pursue Ji Feng and other tens of thousands of Ming troops who had withdrawn from Tai'an was that he didn't mean to annihilate these tens of thousands of Ming troops at all, otherwise although the first line of defense in Shandong set by Li Yan was clever, what kind of person was Dolgon, who started with Nurhachi at the age of fourteen, and fought for eighteen years without a single defeat, and really planned to quickly break through the Shandong defense line, and even completely annihilate the 100,000 Shandong Ming army led by Ji Feng's 20,000 Yinglong army, which is not difficult for Dolgon, Dolgon just didn't want to fight the Ming in a fight.

Ten miles away from Tai'an County, Ao Bai led 30,000 Manchurian and Mongolian iron cavalry to pursue here, and he had faintly seen the figure of the Ming army in front.

"Drive! Seeing the Ming army, speed up the pursuit! "Ao Bai is strong, has a strong voice, and has the style of a fierce general.

Ao Bai did not know Dorgon's final strategy, and was only bent on annihilating the pursuing Ming army.

A wide road with woods on both sides suddenly appeared in front of him, and above the woods, a large flock of flying birds hovered and did not fall, and a man full of eight banners Zhang Jing's heart jumped, and said to Aobai: "Lord Ao, there must be an ambush in the woods on both sides, do you send someone in to check first." ”

"Check out the fart! The Ming army dared to ambush them, and killed them all! In his heart, no one dared to ambush the 30,000 Manmeng iron cavalry under his leadership, even if he dared to ambush, he was confident that he would quickly kill all the people in ambush.

"Rush!"

Ao Bai has always been domineering, and no one dared to disobey his orders, and suddenly 30,000 Manmeng iron horsemen rushed into this road with trees on both sides.

In the woods, there are dense figures, and there is indeed an ambush.

"Your Excellency, the Qing Tie has ridden in." A general manager of Ying Longjun excitedly pointed to the Qing army who began to rush into the woods and said.

Rushing to the front was the Manchurian cavalry with yellow flags under the commander of Aobai.

Ao Bai is the person of the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the two yellow flags in the eight flags are directly under the Qing Emperor, the emperor is the flag owner of the two yellow flags, although Ao Bai is not the owner of the yellow flag, but he won the trust of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and was appointed as the deputy flag owner of the yellow flag, and the actual commander of the yellow flag soldiers and horses. Ao Bai has never disappointed the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and led the people and horses of the Yellow Flag to make great contributions, bringing the Yellow Flag into the two white flags led by Dolgon and Duoduo among the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.

"Kill"

The tail of the money swayed in the violent impact, this symbol of backwardness, ignorance and cowardice in later generations, but at this moment it is a symbol of cruelty, which was fought by the Manchu people in the southern and northern wars for thousands of miles.

If an ordinary Ming soldier saw this money rat tail, he was afraid that he would immediately show fear, his feet tremble, and his morale would be greatly reduced. However, this was not the case in the face of the soldiers of the Ying Long Army, almost all of the soldiers of the Ying Long Army were excited, their eyes were shining, and there was no fear at all.

When the Qing army's iron cavalry rushed into this road, it was about 200 meters away from the ambush point of the Ying Long army.

"First team rush!" Xie Zepeng roared.

"Chong" Hundreds of Ying Long troops rushed out of the woods on both sides, blocking the middle of the road at a very fast speed, and instantly lined up in formation, and hundreds of black tunnel guns pointed at the Qing army iron cavalry rushing forward.

"There is an ambush! Da Ming Ying Dragon Army! According to the analysis of the clothing of this Ming army, it was clear at a glance that this was the famous Ying Long Army in the Ming army.

"What are you afraid of! Just a few hundred people, rush over! "Bow and drink.

In his eyes, the Han people are cowardly, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty are invincible, and the Ying Long Army of the Ming Dynasty is also composed of Han people, and it cannot be compared with the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty at all, and it is just a few hundred Ying Long Army, if so, it will scare the 30,000 Manchurian Iron Cavalry under his leadership.

This was just a moment, when Ying Long's army lined up in formation, the Qing army's iron cavalry at the front had already rushed to a place about 100 meters away from Ying Long's army, and was still approaching at a very fast speed.

"Fire! Bang bang bang"

Hundreds of Ying Long troops opened fire at the same time, and the seventy or eighty soldiers with yellow flags of the Qing army who rushed to the front turned on their backs.

At the same time as the corresponding dragon army opened fire, another team of hundreds of Ying dragon troops rushed out from the woods on both sides, quickly blocking the front of the first team of Ying Long troops who rushed out first, pointing their guns forward.

"Fire!"

Again, seventy or eighty Qing soldiers turned on their backs.

As the Ying Long army continued to rush out of the woods and fire at the Qing army's iron cavalry that was rushing to kill, for a while, the Qing army with yellow flags suffered heavy casualties, but hundreds of casualties were killed and injured in just a few dozen breaths.

"Huh" Ao Bai urgently strangled and sat down on the war horse.

As the last team of Ying Long's army rushed out of the woods, the Qing army's iron cavalry and Ying Long's army confronted each other nearly two hundred meters apart.

"Ying Longjun!" Ao Bai stared at the war horse and the corpse of the soldier with the yellow flag in front of him, his face was dark, his heart was dripping blood, and he gritted his teeth.

In the face of heavy casualties, Ao Bai finally sobered up, and completely put away the contempt for the corresponding dragon army, no wonder the regent repeatedly warned that in the face of the Ming Ying Dragon Army, you must not fight recklessly.
