On October 9, the 80,000-strong army led by Du Du and Tulai left Yanqing Prefecture and began to attack Baoding and Hejian Provinces.

After a day, the marching speed of the Han army, so that Du Du and Tulai were surprised, this time the 20,000 Han troops who participated in the battle, all of them were elite, and all of them were cavalry, they carried very few firearms, and the artillery only carried a small number of Fran machines, so as to ensure the speed of the march, the Manchurian Eight Banners and the Mongolian left and right battalions were marching at full speed, and the Han army did not lag behind.

In such a situation, Dudu and Turai vaguely understood Dorgon's intentions.

When the 80,000-strong army arrived in Changping Prefecture, they were about to separate.

Du Du once again stressed to Turai the arrangements for the deployment of the operation, and at the same time asked the four armies to communicate regularly and report on the situation of their respective operations, so that he could grasp the situation and coordinate in a unified manner.

Turai and Geng Zhongming led the army in the direction of Gu'an and Yongqing in the southeast, while the army led by Du Du and Kong Youde headed towards Fangshan and Zhuozhou in the south.

The most important thing in the battle of the Eight Banners is speed, the cavalry gallops on the endless plain, which is the most able to stimulate the morale of the soldiers, but such passionate emotions and fighting spirit, the Han army can not feel it, and it is not able to do it, so when leaving Changping Prefecture, Du Du gave Kong Youde the first order, Kong Youde led the 10,000 Han army, avoiding Fangshan and Zhuozhou City, directly into Baoding Mansion, Du Du's 30,000 army, responsible for attacking Fangshan and Zhuozhou City, Five days later, the two armies met in Dingxing County, which belonged to Baoding Prefecture.

This order showed Du Du's pride, 30,000 soldiers from the Eight Banners and the Mongolian left and right battalions wanted to attack and take the two cities, and they had to rush to Dingxing County in five days, while the 10,000 Han troops under Kong Youde rushed to Dingxing County in five days, and there was no combat mission.

Faced with such an arrangement. Kong Youde could only pinch his nose and accept it, which meant that within five days, the 10,000 Han troops under his command could not attack the city without authorization, unless they were attacked by the Ming army. before you can attack, otherwise you will disobey Du Du's orders.

On October 15, Kong Youde, who had already arrived in Dingxing County, met Du Du, who led the army, and the sergeant under Du Du's command. With a smile on his face, almost every sergeant is bulging, which is obviously robbing money, of course, there are Han people and women in the team, these are the prisoners of the Eight Banners Army, and they will also become their slaves, and the women who can stay are generally women with very good looks and average appearance, after being humiliated. Almost all of them were directly killed.

Kong Youde had to admire the combat ability of the Manchurian Eight Banners and the Mongolian left and right battalions, and swept through the two cities in five days and arrived at Dingxing County on time, which is not something that ordinary troops can do.

After the two armies reconciled, Du Du barely rested and gave the order to fight again.

With Baoding Fucheng as the central axis, including Baoding Fucheng, Laishui, Yizhou, Dingxing, Mancheng, Wanxian, Tangxian and Qingdu in the west, led by Du Du and other places of 30,000 troops are responsible for the attack, and Xincheng, Rongxian, Xiongxian, Anzhou, Ansu, Gaoyang, Boye and Qizhou in the east. An army of 10,000 led by Kong Youde was responsible for the attack.

This order was very concise, and Du Du did not put forward a specific time request, which meant that the two armies must take almost all the prefectures and counties under Baoding Prefecture.

Kong Youde understood. The two armies are fighting in Baoding Mansion, and the connection between them is very close, there are 30,000 people under Du Du's command, and his combat ability must be much stronger, and there are only 10,000 people under his command, and it is normal to be weaker. On the surface, Du Du's battle plan is completely believed in the Han army, and the Han army is given a heavy responsibility, in fact, this arrangement is very unfair, according to the combat ability, Kong Youde bears the attack on one-third of the Fuzhou county under Baoding Prefecture, and the remaining two-thirds of the city, which is attacked by the army under Du Du, so that the task can be clear, and the sergeant can also be clearly rewarded.

According to Du Du's vague arrangement, the Han army is likely to suffer a loss in terms of rewards, and when Du Du takes the city in the west as quickly as possible, he must intervene in the city in the east, so the property seized by the two anti-anti forces will not be easy to calculate.

Since the order has been issued, Kong Youde is unwilling to delay time, the 10,000 sergeants under his command have not received anything, and he has looked at the money and women obtained by the Eight Banners Army, this is not good, and at this time, it is also the time to show the ability of the Han army, since Du Du does not believe in the combat ability of the Han army, then he makes Du Du really surprised.

At noon on the 15th, Kong Youde led the Han army to leave Dingxing County and go straight to Xincheng.

The sky was not yet dark, 10,000 Han troops arrived in the new city, saw the city in front of him, Kong Youde did not hesitate at all, immediately ordered to start the attack, the Han army shouted and rushed towards the city, met with sporadic bows and arrows and panicked soldiers on the city wall, the Han army with the help of the ladder, quickly went up to the city wall, hundreds of soldiers who resisted on the city wall were mercilessly killed, although some soldiers had knelt on the ground and surrendered.

The Han army entered the city, and the new city immediately became a hell on earth.

After Kong Youde surrendered to Huang Taiji, he almost did not undertake many combat missions, the Han army has always been stationed in Shenyang, Liaoyang and Anshan and other places, most of the sources of military salaries also rely on Tuntian, although Huang Taiji took into account the actual situation of the Han army, allocated a small amount of military salaries, but these money and food are far from enough, the Manchu Eight Banners and the Mongolian left and right battalions are different, entering the customs to loot and enter the Korean expedition, grabbed a lot of money, and in the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Eight Banners and the Mongolian left and right battalion sergeants have an unusual status, Relying on the accumulation of wealth from repeated plunders, he hoarded a lot of land, and there were Han slaves at home, so his life was very nourishing, and the Han soldiers only watched with their eyes.

This time following Dolgon out on the expedition, the Han sergeant can be described as a hungry wolf, hoping to rob as much money as possible, and of course, to grab a beautiful woman.

To a certain extent, the Han soldiers were more ferocious than the soldiers of the Manchurian Eight Banners and the Mongolian Left and Right Battalions, they were originally Han Chinese, familiar with the situation of many cities in the Ming Dynasty, and also knew where the common people would hide their money and grain.

When the night came, the new city was full of fires, there were miserable howls and cries everywhere, the streets were full of beheaded corpses, most of the corpses were stripped naked, and the Han soldiers would not even let go of the clothes on the people.

Kong Youde entered the county office, and no one dared to loot the county government's treasury, which belonged to Kong Youde, and the personal soldiers around him had already controlled the county government.

The officials of the county government have already been killed, and there is a strong smell of blood in the entire county office, Kong Youde doesn't mind at all, and laughs when he looks at the gold and silver that his soldiers bring over with wooden plates.

When the pro-soldiers pressed a few women with messy clothes to enter the wing, Kong Youde walked up to them, held up his face and examined them carefully, and finally left two of them behind, and the rest of the women were left to the pro-soldiers.

The vast majority of the people in Xincheng were caught off guard, they couldn't imagine that the speed of the Houjin Tartars was so fast, and the rumors they heard during the day were that the Houjin Tartars had been attacking Yanqing Prefecture City, and they didn't expect that after dark, the Houjin Tartars would break through the city.

What the people didn't expect was that these so-called Houjin Tartars who entered the city were all Han Chinese, nothing more than their hair had been shaved, and they looked very hideous, and what was even more unexpected to the people was that these so-called Houjin Tartars were extremely brutal, almost all of them were killed when they saw men, and they didn't say anything, and they began to rob after seeing women, and the women with good posture stayed after being humiliated, and all of them were killed after the women with bad posture were insulted.

When these people entered the room, they rummaged through the cabinets, and they didn't even let go of the stove, so that they could find out the money wherever it was hidden.

Desperate ordinary people also began to resist, but the end of the rebellion was the same.

Some Han soldiers were even more brutal to those who resisted, and after looting all the money in the house, they locked the whole family in the house, and then started to light a fire, and watched the family be burned alive.

Such a cruel way of killing people quickly began to spread.

Outside every burning house, there were smiling Han soldiers, and they even compared themselves to see who killed more people and who could stuff as many people into the house as possible and burn them to death.

The slightly better houses became the resting place of the Han soldiers, because of Kong Youde's laissez-faire, some of the soldiers also had fierce conflicts because of the robbery of accommodation.

In a short time, the new city was completely destroyed.

At dawn, Kong Youde, who woke up, walked out of the county office under the escort of his own soldiers after washing comfortably.

What he saw was an unsightly scene, there was almost no sound in the whole county, except for the occasional dog bark, some houses were still smoking blue, the blood stains on the street had solidified and turned dark black, and there were lying corpses everywhere, and some stray wild dogs on the street were already beginning to gnaw on the corpses.

It should be unbearable for ordinary people to see such a scene, but Kong Youde didn't mind, and even ordered his own soldiers to bring the war horse, and he wanted to gallop in the county.

After returning to the county office, Kong Youde looked at the map, and his eyes were fixed on the next target, Gaoyang.

Kong Youde has long had his own plans, the combat mission arranged by Du Du, the Han army is basically impossible to complete, the Han army is not as good as the Manchu Eight Banners in terms of combat effectiveness, and the speed of movement is not comparable, so the Han army must combine the actual situation, take Gaoyang as the boundary, take Anzhou, Ansu, Xiongxian, Rongcheng and other cities north of Gaoyang, and if possible, attack Boye and Qizhou and other cities.
