Zheng Xunrui crossed the Liao River that afternoon.

The battle went so smoothly, this was something he didn't expect, but the sergeant of the Han Eight Banners who returned to the Shun reprimanded the things that were bullied by the Manchurians, and the wives of the Han Eight Banners sergeants would be insulted, and the sergeants did not dare to have the slightest complaint, otherwise it was very likely to be killed for various reasons, Zheng Xunrui shook his head again and again when he heard Hong Xintao's report on these things, it seems that the Manchurian nobles are really self-defeating, in this case, even if Huang Taiji is alive, he has no power to return to the sky.

The 200,000 troops all crossed the Liao River, including the transportation of a large number of artillery and war horses, which took time, and needed to be transported day and night, the Liao River is not above the sea, and the Grand Canal can not be compared, large wooden ships cannot come to the Liao River, so all transportation needs to rely on sailboats.

Zheng Jinhong gave an order that the army should cross the river with all its might, day and night, and that it was necessary to ensure that the 200,000 troops and all the equipment crossed the Liao River on the second day of the second month of February.

Zheng Xunrui doesn't need to think about these things, the first battle of crossing the river went so smoothly, and nearly 70,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners Army turned against him, it seems that the next battle deployment needs to speed up the pace, and the previous ideas are still a little conservative.

A large number of materials in the military tent in Adali have been brought by the Investigation Bureau, these valuable information can be described as priceless treasures today, including the deployment of the five lines of defense of the Qing Dynasty, the number of troops deployed in each line of defense, and the troops deployed, etc., are reflected in the letters left by Adali, Zheng Xunrui who saw it expressed doubts, how can a mere Adali know everything, and still retain this information, it is difficult for Dolgon to trust Adali so much. Tell Adali everything.

It wasn't until Xu Fo's family came to report in person that Zheng Xunrui solved the doubts in his heart.

It turned out that Adali had the trust and support of Dolgon, and had completely turned against his grandfather Daishan and loyally supported Dolgon, after all, Dolgon had just controlled the power of the Great Qing Kingdom and needed someone he could trust. Therefore, when talking to Adali, he revealed all the arrangements, and promised that Adali would become the flag owner of the Eight Banners and the Red Flag.

All of this was confessed by a captured White Banner Merlejangjing, who was a nail planted by Dolgon in the Eight Banners of Han, and was responsible for monitoring everyone, including Adali.

After listening to the report of the Xu Buddha family, Zheng Xunrui sneered and shook his head, it seems that Dolgon is not confident in his heart. After all, there was no power to control the Great Qing State openly, and the supreme ruler of the Great Qing State was still the Shunzhi Emperor Fulin, who was only eleven years old, and it was understandable that Dolgon took these methods and measures in order to consolidate his power in a short period of time.

It is a pity that now is the moment when the Great Qing Kingdom is in great danger, and it is not at all normal to adopt such methods to spy on others. It can end up being counterproductive.

Zheng Xunrui knows that Dolgon is a bit powerful, the historical Dolgon. For the Qing Dynasty to set the Central Plains, he has made great contributions, and it can be said that his ability is no less than that of Huang Taiji.

It's a pity that the fate of Dolgon and Huang Taiji is the same, and when they met Zheng Xunrui who crossed over, they didn't have any chance to show their abilities at all, no matter how wise Dolgon was. No matter what measures were taken, they could not stop the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

The crossing of the river continued, and according to Zheng Xunrui's direct request, the sailing ship gave priority to transporting a large number of war horses, including some of the easy-to-carry Furlong machines.

Zheng Jinhong, Hong Xintao, Yang He, Liu Zeqing, Wang Yuncheng, Wang Xiaoer, Wu Sangui, Su Congjin, He Renlong, Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu. All of them are in the Chinese military tent, and this Chinese military tent is the Chinese military tent that was temporarily built before Adalee.

There was a map on the table, and the deployment of the Eight Banners Army was clearly marked on the map.

Everyone looked at Zheng Xunrui, and they knew that after obtaining such important information, the emperor would definitely make corresponding arrangements, which means that there would be some adjustments to the overall deployment of the operation.

Zheng Xunrui had been thinking about it for two hours, it was already dark, and it was time for him to make a decision.

"The map on the table, you have all read it in detail, I won't say more, Dolgon has set up five lines of defense, it seems that it has been carefully thought out, defending from Andong Prefecture to the east of the Liao River, as well as Gaizhou and other places, if the communication between these five lines of defense is normal, then no matter where we launch an attack, the Eight Banners Army can respond to each other, and even be able to resist the enemy together."

"Now that we have obtained such important information, then I have to adjust the overall deployment, and the first thing I need to do is to completely defeat the second line of defense of the Eight Banners Army."

"The fiasco of the first line of defense, as well as the defection of the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, caught Dolgon off guard, even if it is a temporary adjustment and deployment, it will take a certain amount of time, and I will not give him time."

"Yang He, you, Wang Xiaoer, and Wu Sangui led 50,000 elite cavalry, set off overnight, attack the second line of defense of the Great Qing Kingdom, be sure to defeat the second line of defense in the shortest possible time, according to the information I have, the second line of defense of the Mengbaqi soldiers is only more than 20,000 people, they are only thirty miles away from here, I hope that the battle will end tomorrow, I also believe that you can achieve a complete victory."

"Once the second line of defense set up by Dolgon is defeated, it will definitely cause chaos in the Great Qing Kingdom, Yang He, you have to remember, don't immediately launch an attack on the third line of defense, remember, this is my order."

"The soldiers set off overnight, they will encounter a lot of difficulties, the temperature is low at night, extremely cold, it is necessary to ensure their own safety, if there is a large-scale frostbite, then the battle can not be carried out, Zheng Jinhong has a lot of experience in this regard, before departure, inform in detail, the corresponding equipment needed, all must be met." ……

After the order was issued, Zheng Jinhong, Yang He, Wang Xiaoer and Wu Sangui stayed, and Zhou Yanru, Yang Tingshu and Xiong Wencan also stayed in the Chinese military tent.

Zheng Xunrui carefully told Yang He and others, marching at night, because the temperature is extremely low, where the skin is exposed outside, it is very likely to be frostbitten, hands, feet and face are the most critical places, it must be noted that in principle, except for the eyes and other parts, other places must be wrapped, after the battle of Fengzhen, according to Zheng Jinhong's proposal, the Ministry of War commissioned Shang Jia to specially make cold-proof equipment, which can be used this time.

Next, Zheng Jinhong informed Yang He and others in detail.

After the first month, the climate will gradually warm, which is particularly obvious in the north, but Zheng Xunrui knows that today's climate is abnormal, not afraid of 10,000 in case, if the soldiers are frostbitten because of insufficient preparation, it will be more than worth the loss.

Of course, Zheng Xunrui did not expect that this night march was beyond the expectations of Meng Baqi, who was stationed in the second line of defense, so that the battle went particularly smoothly.

50,000 soldiers are waiting for the day.

Zheng Xunrui rode on horseback, looking at the 50,000 soldiers standing solemnly, all he could see was the eyes of these soldiers in the torches.

All the soldiers' faces were covered with thickened masks, the earcups of leather cases covered their ears, their heads were covered by thick cotton hats, the cotton armor on their bodies was also thickened, and the leather gloves on their hands were specially made.

All this made Zheng Xunrui very satisfied, such protection can allow many soldiers to avoid frostbite.

The same is true for war horses, with thick blankets on their bellies, specially designed to keep out the cold.

Everyone is waiting for the emperor's order, crossing the Liao River is the first stage of the battle, and now the second line of defense to break the Qing State is already the second stage of the battle.

"Soldiers, I await the news of your victory......

Zheng Xunrui is a short sentence that contains all the information.

All the soldiers saluted Zheng Xunrui on horseback.

Zheng Xunrui insisted on being in the cold wind, watching the 50,000 army set off overnight, and Zhou Yanru and others also rode horses, and by Zheng Xunrui's side, they saw the 50,000 army leave.

Back in the Chinese military tent, Zheng Xunrui rubbed his hands and kept stomping his feet.

Zhou Yanru, who was beside him, couldn't help but speak when he saw such a situation.

"Your Majesty, it's important to boost morale, but the emperor's body is even more important, and the emperor doesn't have to stand in the cold wind for nearly half an hour tonight."

Yang Tingshu, Xiong Wencan, Zheng Jinhong and others were also about to speak, and Zheng Xunrui smiled and waved his hand.

"This is nothing, I can bear it, think about many soldiers, but also attack and kill the enemy in the bitter cold, I just watched many soldiers go to fight, what is this, don't say such things in the future, your concern for me, I know, if I can completely exterminate the Eight Banners Army and the Qing Kingdom in a short period of time, I am really happy."

There was a burst of laughter all around, judging from the current situation, the expedition was particularly smooth, especially the defection of the Han Eight Banners, which allowed the army to easily cross the Liao River.

However, in the next battle, you can't take it lightly, everyone knows the strength of the Eight Banners, and the Manchu nobles who have suffered a catastrophe will never be captured, especially Dolgon, who has just controlled the power of the Great Qing Kingdom, and has barely had time to show his skills, so he will definitely be unwilling.

That night, Zheng Xunrui couldn't sleep, although it was very warm in the tent.

In the middle of the night, Zheng Xunrui got up, picked up the map and looked at it seriously, suddenly, his face showed an unusual look, a new decision appeared in his mind, if this decision can be implemented as quickly as possible, then the battle to exterminate the Eight Banners Army is likely to end as soon as possible.

Zheng Xunrui couldn't sleep anymore, he began to carefully analyze the map, from which he could find a way to implement his plan, a zigzag line, slowly appeared on the map. (To be continued.) )
