Duoduo ran out of the big tent in a few steps, and when he saw the messenger jumping down from his horse, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed him, and said hurriedly: "What the hell is going on, how many people are there from the barbarians?!" ”

The man's face turned pale and gasped: "Hui, Hui General, last night the rear army was stationed in the Mashan Pass, and this morning just about to pull out the camp, the Ming army suddenly killed from the east side, there are six or seven thousand people!" Our army was caught off guard and could not resist ......"

Shang Kexi's troops are considered to be a relatively weak team under Duoduo, even if they are fully prepared to face each other head-on, they are by no means the opponent of the Dragon Guard, let alone be raided.

It's good luck. He himself took half of his men and horses to advance close to the Chinese army, in order to catch up with the last one when attacking Nanjing, and only left the old, weak, and heavy at the rear, but he didn't expect anyone to attack at all.

It was the first battle of the Ming army that only wiped out the 13,000 or 4,000 people who fell to the back, and Shang Kexi was able to escape.

Duoduo's brows furrowed, "Six or seven thousand...... Suddenly appeared in the backline? Could it be that these barbarians fell from the sky?! ”

He really couldn't figure out that his 150,000 troops were under the city of Nanjing, and the Ming army dared not to defend the city, but attacked him in the area of Mashan.

He was thinking to himself, and when he saw several horsemen hurrying forward, he came near, and the man on the horse shouted: "Report! The former army encountered the southerners near Huanglongbu! ”

Duoduo stopped those people and asked carefully, it turned out that the most sudden Ahsanbu suddenly encountered the Ming army this morning, and the two sides fought a small encounter. Ahsan lost three or four hundred men, and the other party did not seem to want to fight, so they retreated several miles and confronted each other from a distance.

Shuo Sai on the side wondered: "How many southerners?" ”

"Back to the general, about four or five thousand."

Didn't you say that there were only 20,000 or 30,000 Ming troops in the Jiangnan area? Duoduo was puzzled, Geng Zhongming, Mu Jilun and others had killed more than 10,000 southern troops before, and there were more than 10,000 in Huanglongbu and Mashan, could it be that Nanjing is now an empty city? !

He immediately remembered that Kitat's 300 men and horses had "disappeared" near Ximing Mountain in the north, and Jiucheng had also encountered an ambush by the southerners, but he didn't know how many enemy troops there were.

Huanglongbu, Mashan, and Ximingshan, these locations are strung together, which suddenly made his pupils shrink, and he hurriedly turned around and returned to the military tent, took out the map and looked at it carefully, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart - the main force of his Chinese army of nearly 100,000 horses and horses are all in the area from Huanglongbu to Mashan at this time, and this area is only connected to the outside world by five passages. In addition to the three places where traces of the Ming army have been found, there are still Daren Mountain on the south side and the junction of the Jurong River and Tangshui River in the northeast to leave this place.

Could it be that the barbarians want to block our army within a range of more than 20 miles?! Duoduo narrowed his eyes in disbelief, how was this possible? Where did they get so many people?!

But he immediately thought that at this time, his army was in a messy formation, stretching for more than ten miles before and after, and if the southerners could gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and at this time they would suddenly attack from all sides, and they would not be able to take care of the end and fall into chaos.

No! The southerners will not be untargeted, they may really have a large group of men and horses besieging them!

Judging from the fact that they were able to defeat 13,400 men of Shang Kexi's army, and that they still had a slight upper hand in the battle with Ashan's front army, their combat strength should not be underestimated. Previously, the southerners were defeated in Wuqishan, Jurong and other places, and lost the performance of nearly 10,000 people, I am afraid that it was just to show my weakness and lure me to underestimate the enemy......

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, but fortunately, the current situation has not reached the worst level, and his own strength should still be superior, as long as he can gather a large army and reorganize the battle formation, he is not afraid of the tricks of the southerners!

In terms of the level of war, Duoduo can rank in the top three in the entire Manchurian liquidation, and he is quite old and calm in battle.

He immediately made the most reasonable response and said to Shuo Sai: "Pass my general order, each send 200 elite cavalry to Daren Mountain and the lower reaches of the Tangshui River to investigate, and if you encounter the southern army, come back immediately to report."

"The Chinese army's Ashan, Lian Guoan, Gong Adai, Zu Runze, Zhang Hongmo and other departments each divided more than 1,000 people to defend the main road, and then led the remaining troops to immediately gather in our battalion."

Shuo Sai looked at him in surprise when he heard this, "General, why did you suddenly gather the army......

"Go!" Duoduo roared, "Order all departments, they must arrive within half a day, violators will be beheaded immediately!" ”

"Huh!" Shuo Sai didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly turned around and left the tent.

Duoduo looked at his back, and suddenly remembered that before the southern expedition, Dorgon had specially told himself to "not underestimate the enemy, not divide the army, and not rush forward".

He couldn't help but sigh secretly, "It's still Brother Jiu who anticipates the enemy first, although I was always cautious at the beginning, but I unknowingly fell into the way of the southerners...... I just hope that this time I didn't make a big mistake. ”

He thought about it, but he still felt uneasy, and ordered the herald on the side: "Send someone to summon Zhu Mala and Shi Tingzhu to return to the Chinese army, leaving only Geng Zhongming's green battalion to continue to besiege Jiangning City." ”

"Huh!"

……

It's night.

In the lower reaches of the Tangshui River, the Ming army camp.

Shi Lin saw Deng Shan and Gan Hui coming quickly, and before they could speak, he signaled: "Your Majesty has been waiting, the two generals are coming in quickly." ”

The two entered the camp of the Son of Heaven and saluted: "Your Majesty, the commander of Yu Xinyu has sent news that his subordinates have arrived at Ximing Mountain and have not encountered any thieves. ”

"It's finally closed."

Zhu Linmiao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

Even though he and the generals planned the operational deployment in detail, it was difficult for him to bear the rapid changes on the battlefield.

In the afternoon, he went to the battlefield in person and witnessed the battle of Deng Shan and Gan Hui leading their troops to break through the Jianyu Hou Army. There was no suspense in the course of the battle, and in just over an hour, the Qing army collapsed, and was intercepted and killed by Ma Wenhu's cavalry, and almost all of them were captured.

It's just that he didn't expect that Shang Kexi's department would be divided into two parts, so that he could not annihilate all the men and horses behind the Duoduo Palace, and it is estimated that Shang Kexi still has at least 12,300 people in his hands.

Subsequently, Yu Zhen and Sun Qi, who were in charge of the outflanking camp on the west side, reported that they had unexpectedly encountered nearly 1,000 cavalry from the Ashan Division, the vanguard of Jianyu. I think it should be the latter who was eager to grab the credit, so he led the team to ride lightly without authorization, and threw off his own large army to rush to Nanjing.

Although Yu Zhen easily defeated the incoming enemy, he failed to wipe out Ahsanbu under the sudden encounter.

After these two unexpected battles, I am afraid that most of them have already been taken aback, and at this time, the Yu Xin Department in the direction of Xi Ming Mountain has not yet completed the encirclement due to the long distance of the attack. Zhu Linmiao had been waiting for news for half a day, and she was worried that Duoduo would escape from the north side.

Fortunately, there was no sign of Jianyu suddenly going north, and Yu Xin finally arrived at the predetermined position.

In this way, the Ming army had completed the siege from five directions, and Duoduo found that he was in danger, but there was no way to escape the path to heaven. More than 90,000 Qing troops have become turtles in urns.

Zhu Linmiao glanced at the stars in the sky, and said solemnly to Deng Shan: "Order the whole army, early tomorrow morning, according to the signal of the Chinese army, launch a general attack from five directions at the same time."

"Kill the thief in one battle!"

"Yes!"

At the same time, in the Duoduo camp, a number of generals such as Ah Shan, He Luohui, Lian Guoan, Gong Adai, Zu Runze, Zhang Hongmo, and even an extremely strong Rakshasa State officer were in the ranks, all of whom seemed to be nervously waiting for something.

When he was ugly, Kitat opened the curtain and entered the tent, and everyone's eyes were immediately focused on him.

"How?" Duoduo stood up with a sigh of relief.

Kitat's face was gloomy, and he arched his hand and said: "Back to the general, Daren Mountain and Tangshui River have detected the infested of the southerners......
