Zhao Kun was worried along the way, just worried about encountering thousands of Qing cavalry rushes.

At this time, the infantry marching in the wilderness encountered cavalry with superior strength, and the "Red Banner Army" was no exception.

Because the ground was so frozen that it was impossible to dig trenches in a hurry, hundreds of wheelbarrows loaded with food and supplies could not effectively stop the enemy cavalry from charging into battle.

With less than 3,000 infantry, and a small half using cold weapons, with these forces in the field of thousands of Jiannu and Tatar cavalry, Zhao Kun thought that the possibility of the entire army being wiped out was extremely high.

Now that you have a city, you don't have to worry about security, in fact, even a wall behind you can double the defense of the infantry in the face of cavalry.

Because the formation was lined up with their backs to the city walls, the infantry ranks would not be easily overwhelmed by the cavalry, and they would not be attacked on all sides.

Ruzhou City is located on Wanluo Avenue, east of Xiangdeng, west of Yiluo, south of Rushui, west of Xi'er River, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the geographical location is quite important, since ancient times for military important places.

Ruzhou city is basically square, the circumference is more than nine miles, the city wall is four zhang high, there are city moats on the outer edge, there are corner towers at the four corners of the city, there are horse roads around the city in the city, the four city gates are built with urn city, it belongs to the medium scale.

It's a pity that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Ruzhou City was hit by the seedlings, Chongzhen was broken by the Liukou at the end of the sixth year, just completed the overhaul, and was drummed down by the Qing army this winter.

Zhao Kun was steady, knowing that Henan was plagued by the double scourge of the Liukou and the Qing army, so he carried a full 600 wheelbarrows of grain, with a total amount of 3,000 stones.

A day later, Gu Rushan also led the men and horses to come, followed by Pei Yuanwu's men and horses, Gu Zhun's men and horses were all infantry, they rushed down the river by boat to Jingzhou and rushed to Jingzhou by land, and finally arrived.

The "Red Banner Army" fought against the iron law of refusing to be controlled by the Ming civil officials and military generals, and Zhao Kun did not expect to get supplies from the Ming Dynasty, so he did not contact the Henan magistrate and sent people to contact the flag guards.

After completing the assembly and having a city to rely on, Zhao Kun was bold, and now there are 11,000 men and horses, half of which are regular soldiers.

It's just that the auxiliaries have not all reached the standards of the guards, and the equipment is not the standard of the guards.

Qiwei timely conveyed the news that the main force of the Qing army had crossed the Yellow River north to Shanxi, and Zhao Kun could finally rest assured that he could boldly march on the Great Plains, and he believed that with more than 10,000 men and horses, as long as it was not the main force of the slave chieftain to besiege, even if there was an encounter with the double Qing army, he was not afraid.

Intelligence shows that the total number of Qing troops escorting supplies is only 20,000 or 30,000, half of which are traitor cavalry, and the rest are vast majority of Tartar soldiers, banner soldiers, and Yu Ding.

Due to the addition of Gu Rushan's cavalry commander, Pei Yuanwu's cavalry commander, and Zhao Kun's cavalry commander, the total number of cavalry is close to 2,000, and it has the ability to counterattack, and it is no longer a passive defense when encounters occur.

The four main generals Zhao Kun, Gu Rushan, Gu Zhun and Pei Daneng reached a consensus, and they all vowed to catch up with the Qing army and tear off a piece of their meat and strive to seize more grain.

Because during this time, the mode of soup soup was adopted to help the hungry people, and a few multigrain cakes were given to guide the war victims to flee to the river, and 1,000 or more stone of grain had been used.

Thinking about fighting the rear team of the Qing army, it was not only Zhao Kun and other family horses, but also more than 40,000 Ming troops such as Lu Xiangsheng, Liu Zhilun, and Fang Zhenghua, and the tactics they formulated were to attack halfway.

What's wrong with the freezing of the Yellow River, isn't crossing the river by stepping on the ice not as crossing the river?

Twenty or thirty thousand Qing troops carried more than 200,000 Han people, drove a large number of livestock, and carts and wheelbarrows were loaded with supplies and grain.

Lu Xiangsheng proposed to take advantage of the Ming army's advantage of taking the lead in completing the assembly in the north of the Yellow River, promptly report to the Qing army's river crossing point to set up an ambush, and when the Qing army stepped on the ice and came to the center of the Yellow Han Dynasty, the whole army launched a general attack.

King Lu Yan did not give it for nothing, this plan was quite poisonous, and it was strongly supported by Fangzhenghua, and Liu Zhilun also thought it was feasible and adopted it.

Tang Wang's 2,000 men and horses were also a force, Shi Kunshan was able to participate in the arrangement of troops presided over by Liu Zhilun and Lu Xiangsheng, and after he got the information, he sent the flag guard to contact Zhao Kun in time.

As a result, when the rear team of the Qing army crossed the Yellow River, it was possible that when crossing the Yellow River, more than 40,000 Ming troops would be attacked head-on by more than 40,000 Ming troops on the north bank, and then the team waiting to cross the river on the south bank would be ruthlessly spent, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Qing army in Shanxi had no fighting spirit, and the four princes reached a consensus, intending to pretend to run away after pretending.

The main general may not be able to see the laxity of the grassroots soldiers, but he can't hide it from the high-level generals, and rumors spread in Shuozhou City and outside the city for a while.

Wu Xiang's father and son did not get a high-ranking official when Chongde ascended the throne as the emperor's great feudal civil and military general, Wu Xiang is still a first-class chief military officer, Wu Sangui is of course not the king of Pingxi, and their father and son did not even get the last baron.

This time, their father and son led more than 2,000 cavalry into Shanxi, and they were surprisingly lucky, and they even took three county towns without a fight, and did not carry out offensive and defensive battles, so there were no losses of horses.

After receiving the order to shrink the defense, the Wu family father and son learned that the "Red Flag Army" had entered Shanxi, and they had mixed feelings for this.

Wu Xiang avoided dozens of Gebu Shi Chaoha of the prison army and told his son Wu Sangui:

"Sangui, you will always remember that my Wu family had to surrender to slavery in order to leave their lives.

After less than two years on Dongnu's side, as a father, I feel even more that those idiots can't become the climate.

Originally, those beasts who could only wield knives and kill innocents indiscriminately became prosperous, because the Ming Dynasty was too unbearable, and now the Ming Dynasty has Huang Han and the 'Red Flag Army' Dongnu will sooner or later perish the country and extinct the species. ”

Wu Sangui's face was painful, and he said depressedly: "Our father and son have already boarded the thief ship, do we still have a chance to turn back?" Why did you know that today was the beginning? ”

Wu Xiang saw that his son was complaining that he was the master and surrendered, so he was angry, and slapped his head and face: "I don't know what to do, at that time, if my father didn't raise his hand to surrender, your kid was cut up by Jiannu on the spot, and you still have the opportunity to complain about Lao Tzu?" ”

Of course, Wu Sangui didn't dare to fight back, but he refused to give in, and said strongly: "At that time, he died when he died, at least he wouldn't be a person inside and out. ”

Wu Xiang was so angry that he almost burst out, and scolded: "Bastard, repeated villains are better than a dead person!"

Can't you think about the good things in the past? Understand his father as a character like Guan Erye, who is in Cao Ying's heart and in Han?

Moreover, it was not only our father and son who died, but also one or two thousand brothers who were loyal to us who had to be buried.

One decision for the father is equivalent to saving 2,000 people, and if you die, you will not go to hell! ”
