Outside the city of Pizhou.

Luo Luohun glanced at the sky, and said to Haoge in front of him: "His Royal Highness the Regent, seeing that it is getting late, is it possible for the army to rest in Pizhou first and leave tomorrow?" ”

Haoge had just been named the regent of Shunzhi, and he was on the rise, so he was willing to stop, waved his hand and said loudly: "Tell me to go down, give me more strength, and rush to Suqian to camp before dark!" ”

"This ...... Phew. ”

Hauge turned his head to Wakda beside him and said, "By the way, someone in the court has come to the table, please make me the regent of the left, what do you think?" ”

Wakda hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, the two white flags of Dolgon are almost destroyed, and the most powerful thing in my Qing Dynasty right now is the blue flag of His Highness." If you want the servant to say, you should be half a rank above Dorgon, and you should be the sole regent. ”

Hauge laughed proudly when he heard this, "Don't worry, the southern army is near the Huai River, and there are no 40,000 troops under my command, what should I do with him?" When he asks me, he doesn't let me make conditions......"

"Bang, bang—"

Before he could finish speaking, he was shocked to hear a deafening roar not far ahead, obviously the sound of firing guns, and listening to the movement, there were at least a thousand guns.

Wakda stopped in front of Haug and shouted, "Protect Your Highness the Regent!" ”

In an instant, a large number of soldiers came out of the nearby farmhouses, quickly formed a formation with firearms, pressed towards Haoge's Bayala guards from both sides, and when they reached a hundred and ten paces, they could not help but raise their guns and shoot in a row.

The front team of Hauge's escort also encountered heavy fire, and was caught off guard with heavy casualties, and kept shrinking back.

Hauge hurriedly said to the guards who were surrounded by him: "Retreat!" Retreat to Pizhou City! ”

As he was talking, he saw a large group of cavalry galloping behind him, with a huge "leaf" on the banner.

"It's Ye Chen." Wakda was overjoyed and ordered the guards, "Quick, quickly lead General Ye to protect His Highness!" ”

"Huh!"

Haoge is also a little relieved, with Ye Chen's red flag people arriving, he will definitely be able to keep himself safe.

But he had just withdrawn from a section under the support of the escort army, but suddenly his heart moved, Ye Chen is the rear army, why did he run near the Chinese army?

His pupils shrank sharply and he shouted, "No! Stand still! ”

At the same time, Ye Chen also immediately pointed forward and said loudly: "Haoge rebelled and killed the rebellious ministers!" ”

Suddenly, more than 1,000 horsemen with red flags rushed in, and a dense rain of arrows fell on the heads of Haoge and the others in an instant......

In less than half an hour, the 1,300 Bayala guards beside Hauge were almost strangled.

It was the first time that Dorgon's elaborate flintlock was showing its true power.

By the time Hauge's other subordinates reacted, Ye Chen had already put his knife on Hauge's neck, which was covered in blood, and read out the holy decree aloud - Hauge rebelled, and the regent Dolgon eliminated the traitor.

The people and horses with the blue flag all looked at each other, and suddenly lost their backbone, not knowing what to do.

Not long after, Dolgon led the main force of the yellow flag to arrive, and when he saw that the generals with the blue flag were all glaring angrily, he immediately shouted: "Haoge's rebellion was all done by him alone, don't make a mistake about yourself!" ”

He also ruled the Manchu Qing Dynasty for a long time, and his prestige was especially great, Luo Luohun immediately knelt down, "Haoge deserves it, and the last general is only His Royal Highness the Regent." ”

The other generals saw that Hauge was controlled, and the general trend was gone, and with Luo Luohun taking the lead, they then knelt down in twos and threes. The few Haug diehards were quickly taken down by the Ba Ya La.

After doing this important thing, Dolgon's heart finally settled down, and in the future, no one in the entire Qing Dynasty could restrain him, and he could concentrate on dealing with Nanming.

He then ordered Haoge to be escorted back to Muyang, still ordered Luo Luohun to be decorated with a blue flag, and asked people to return to Shengjing to pass the news to Xiaozhuang.

Although the southerners' march north was a great danger to the Manchus, it was also an opportunity for him to Dorgon. Under the critical situation, Bumu Butai could no longer find a balance between the two sides, but could only hand over all the power to him, in order to integrate forces and repel the southern army.

Just when he was full of ambition, he saw Ao Bai come with a person hurrying, "His Royal Highness the Regent, Shengjing is here." ”

Dolgon subconsciously said: "But Hauge is a small matter, and the Holy One will personally send someone to ......."

The person who came from Shengjing took out a letterbox and held it to him with an anxious expression: "Your Royal Highness the Regent, Shengjing is in a hurry!" ”

"What?!" Dolgon hurriedly opened it and saw that the last one was an urgent report from the Ministry of War, indicating that the army was stationed on Phi Island and sent troops to repeatedly attack and harass the coast of Liaodong, Jinzhouwei and Fuzhou Wei had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the Ming army was approaching Gaizhouwei. Now there are only 8,000 soldiers and horses near Shengjing, and the whereabouts of the southern army are uncertain, so it is extremely difficult to defend properly, so please ask His Royal Highness the regent to send troops back to help quickly.

The latter letter was written by Bu Mu Butai himself, first expressing his absolute support for him, and then mentioning that due to the attack of the Ming army, she planned to take the little emperor to Xingjing for temporary refuge.

Dolgon read the emergency report of the military headquarters again, but did not find the number of enemy troops, so he couldn't help but look at the person who sent the letter and asked: "How many southern troops have landed in Liaodong, and they have made such a big battle?!" ”

The man shrunk his neck and said helplessly: "Back to His Royal Highness the Regent, at first it was said that there were more than 1,000 people, but later Fuzhou Wei fell, and the defenders reported that there were 3,000 southern troops. Not long ago, 1,000 men and horses of Gaizhou Wei attacked the Nanren camp and were defeated, and it was reported that they saw 5,000 enemy troops......"

How many people are there?! Dolgon's head is big for a while, Liaodong is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, if there are really 5,000 Ming troops there to attack and disturb, but it will be really bad!

How did he know that Liu Guoxuan's sailor infantry army was only about 1,000 people, but the Qing army in Liaodong was afraid of a sneak attack, so he blindly exaggerated the number of enemies, in order to ask the imperial court to send more reinforcements. In addition, after the enslaved Ming and Korean people of Jinzhouwei and Fuzhou Wei were freed, they spontaneously formed a righteous army and attacked and harassed Jianyu from time to time, and these people were also counted on Liu Guoxuan's head.

But Dolgon didn't dare to be careless, if something went wrong in the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, even if he won a big victory in the Central Plains, it would be in vain.

He weighed it again and again, and decided to send Ye Chen to lead the red flag men, and then bring more than 8,000 Beizhili Green Battalions, a total of 10,000 horses, back to Liaodong to assist in defense.

After Shengjing's envoy left, Dolgon led his army back to Muyang, but sat on his horse but fell into worry.

He and Duoduo are brothers, and they know the depth of their military ability, and the previous Duoduo concentrated superior forces but was still defeated by the Southern Army, so that he no longer dared to have the slightest contempt for the Ming Dynasty.

Based on the news that came back at that time, he estimated that it would be necessary to at least double the number of soldiers and horses of the Ming army in order to ensure the safety of the Huai River defense line.

At present, there are 30,000 Ming troops heading north, and there are more than 100,000 people who have been requisitioned with the army, but on his own side, he has to send 10,000 horses back to Liaodong, and the troops are already stretched.

He was wondering if he could divide some troops from Henan, when he heard a few horsemen galloping from behind.

Those horsemen with red flags on their backs shouted loudly as they ran along the way, "Emergency! The city of Monte is lost! ”

Mengcheng is on the south side of Xuzhou, which is where the gateway to Xuzhou is located.
