Hong Chengchou lured He Luo to go deep into the dense forest several times, in order to wear off the sharp spirit of those Eight Banner Armorers, and then find an opportunity to give a fatal blow. It's just that this He Luohui is not a simple role, every time he follows in formation, step by step, and every link is extremely cautious.

After a few days of maneuvering, Hong Chengchou himself was already tired of tossing, and Li Wenchang, the magistrate of the county who was with him, was also tired and bored.

"Ministry, it's not a way to go on like this. Jiannu is too strong, so he is not their opponent at all, so it is better to vote for General Li! ”

At this time, the news of Li Xin's presence in Jinzhou had spread in the nearby dense forest, and many of the remnants of the soldiers who had planned to defect to Hong Chengchou had turned to Jinzhou, and not only that, but even many of their soldiers fled in the dark night. Under the combat and non-combat attrition, the number of the army is decreasing day by day, and the morale is also like Wang Xiaoer's New Year.

Hong Chengchou also had a big headache about this, but he was unwilling to go to Jinzhou.

"Li Zhixian, do you know how important our role here is to Jinzhou City?"

Li Wenchang was silent, it was not that he couldn't think clearly, but he couldn't bear to let these soldiers die one after another and escape.

"Nine times out of ten, Li Xin wants to hold on to Jinzhou, and only in this way can he keep the Liaoxi Corridor after the Tartars withdraw their troops. One more day that you and I hold the tartars in this dense forest will give them one more chance to prepare. Although the headquarters hall has not been to Jinzhou City after it was destroyed by the Tartars, it can also know a thing or two about its general situation, and there are eight or nine gaps in the city wall. If we don't fight for him for a few more days, who else will be able to step up at this time? ”

Li Wenchang, the magistrate of the county, was greatly ashamed when he heard this, buried his head in his chest, and did not dare to look directly at the open-minded and worried Hong Butang in front of him.

"What the ministry said was as straightforward as deafening, Wenchang admired it so much, and he gave up his life in the next place, and he wrestled with the Tartars to death!"

Li Wenchang blushed and swore to lead his subordinates to follow Hong Chengchou and the Qing army to the end.

"However, what Li Zhixian said is not unreasonable, and if we continue to work around so blindly, I'm afraid that acupuncture won't last long."

Originally, Hong Chengchou wanted to drag He Luohui to expose his flaws, and then fight a few beautiful ambush battles, but who knew that He Luo would chase after him, not only to chase him, but even to sometimes expect the opportunity to intercept him.

Fortunately, Hong Chengchou is not a dry meal, and after a few rounds, the two sides can be regarded as a draw. Although He Luohui had an army of 10,000 people, he couldn't use it in the depths of the dense forest, and he could only catch and hide along the Liuzhou River with Hong Chengchou's troops.

"Li Zhixian brings the map!"

Li Wenchang hurriedly took out the tarpaulin package that the map was sent to him and unfolded it in front of Hong Chengchou. Hong Chengchou stared at several big rivers and pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Yes, Li Zhixian, come and see, we can follow here, skip the Liuzhou River, cross the Daughter River and go to the direction of the Xiaoling River, the Qing army may not be able to react for a while, we can take advantage of this to ask them to follow, and then suddenly go south in an unexpected place, do an ambush war, even if we can't inflict a fatal blow on the Tartars, we have to let them peel off a layer of skin!" ”

"The department's plan is very wonderful, Wenchang admires it!"

Sure enough, one night later, He Luohui's army lost its tracking target in the footage. At the beginning, the scouts could still find the shadow of the Ming army, but as the sun rose, the Qing soldiers were surprised to find that the remnants of the Ming army who had been taking them around the Liuzhou River were gone.

After He Luo got the retribution, he jumped to his feet angrily, but he couldn't act rashly. In the past few days, he has been led by the nose of the Ming army, and the fire he has provoked is burning in his chest, but there is nowhere to vent.

"Investigate, investigate. If you can't detect the shadow of the Ming army, you don't have to come back! ”

Hong Chengchou Sheng took advantage of the dark sky to leave suddenly, and the Qing army found clues when the horse went far away, and there were signs of retreating to Jinzhou. He Luo was overjoyed to be rewarded, which was exactly what he wanted. Prince Li sent him to Jinzhou for the fundamental target, and it was definitely not a good thing for Li Xin to stay in Jinzhou.

When he mentioned Jinzhou, He Luohui's heart suddenly flipped over, and when he returned to the camp before, he faintly heard some rumors, and the sea ship seemed to have been burned by the Ming army. Thinking of this, his brow jumped suddenly, could it be, could it be......

He Luo will find that once he shows this idea, it is like a river that has opened the floodgates, and it can no longer be contained, could it be that Prince Li already has a plan to withdraw his troops? Then he sent himself to lead the troops, most likely as a vanguard.

What shocked He Luo was not that Daishan wanted to withdraw his troops, but the meaning behind the withdrawal. It must be that the battle for the throne in Shengjing has undergone some kind of change, which makes the old man feel restless, and Dolgon must have not made a move in the way that Lao Daishan expected, and the old fox was already restless.

The more it comes to this kind of moment, the more important it is to stand in line, rather than taking chestnuts in Jinzhou for the old generation......

As soon as he thought of this, He Luo's mind was clear, and he immediately ordered the whole army to slowly move north. Unexpectedly, after crossing the Daughter River, there was a scorched paste everywhere, and the grass and trees had been burned to the ground, apparently the north of the Daughter River was on fire.

It is not known whether this fire was a heavenly fire or a man-made fire.

The further north he went, the more frightened he became, and he could almost conclude that the fire was man-made. Because he had seen through the charred paste, there were many dead bodies that had become black charcoal.

Although it is not clear the identity of these dead bodies, his intuition tells him that these people must be related to the Qing army, and maybe they are Dorgon's people. Finally arrived at the south bank of the Xiaoling River, but seeing the surging river, He Luo couldn't decide whether to cross the river at this time.

But as soon as he thought that Shengjing's struggle for the throne had reached the most critical moment, He Luohui made up his mind.

"Cross the river, cross the river!"

As soon as the order exited, the Eight Banners Armor Soldiers forced their way into the river at the beachhead and waded towards the north bank. It was also when the army was about to pass that there was the sound of drums and shouts everywhere. He Luohui's mind stirred up dense beads of cold sweat at that time.

It's not good, it's an ambush! How to be careless at this stall. The other party attacked halfway, but he choked this moment when he couldn't advance or retreat, and he had no choice but to fight hard.

As He Luohui issued military orders one after another, the flags in the hands of the soldiers in charge of the flag changed frequently, but in the past, they had cooperated with the extremely skillful herald orders, but today they seem to be out of order. Some of the Eight Banners were desperately rushing to the north bank of the Xiaoling River, hoping to grab a favorable terrain on the river beach on the north bank and ambush the soldiers for a decisive battle. However, due to the rapid flow of the river, it takes some time and body to cross the river. And there were still people who hurriedly retreated, and instead of forcibly crossing the river, it was better to retreat to the south bank and form a formation.

It's just that these retreating Eight Banner Armorers ignored the endless army crossing the river behind them, and the two sides were crowded together, which made the team even more chaotic. For a while, no one had the time to pay attention to the military order, and even if they did, there was no way to implement it in the current situation.

He Luohui saw that the army had suffered a heavy blow and fell into chaos, but there was nothing he could do, and while scolding the Ming army commander for being cunning and despicable, he also regretted his carelessness. He concentrated and looked around, the other side of the river was all grassland and flat rivers, and there were only a few low-lying places where people could ambush people and horses, and he thought that these sneak attackers were ambushed in those low-lying areas. I saw that the ragged soldiers of the Ming army rushed out one after another, trying to slash the armor soldiers who rushed to the north bank on the river beach, and looked at the remnants of the Ming army who had been entangled with them in their clothes.

Then it also proves that there is no backup behind this Ming army, and the remnants of the Ming army have lost many men and horses after several days of pursuit, and now it is only the end of the strong crossbow. As soon as he thought of this, He Luo would give a resolute order.

"The supervising team listens to the order and supervises the soldiers of the Eight Banners to cross the river, and those who dare to take half a step back will be killed!"

At the same time, He Luohui pulled out the steel knife at his waist and transferred it into the waist-deep water of the Xiaoling River, and slashed the two armored soldiers who were about to climb the river beach.

Seeing that his own commander had taken the lead in crossing the river, the morale of the Qing army suddenly flourished.

"Cross the river! Crossing! ”

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Eight Banners, who were already preparing to retreat to the south bank of the Xiaoling River, had no choice but to turn back, braving the feather arrows shot in the rain on the north bank, and desperately walked and swam towards the north bank.

The Ming army also rushed to the river beach on the north bank, and marched forward in formation, and the Qing soldiers who had not had time to form the formation were crushed by the famous army like bedbugs, and there were many dead and wounded for a while. But He Luohui was unmoved, and constantly forced the army to cross the river, he was sure that even if he had more than 10,000 people, he could fight the remnants of the Ming army, as long as there were more and more people ashore, the scale pole of the battle victory would inevitably be inclined to the Qing army.

Suddenly, the north bank of the Xiaoling River flowed into a river of blood. Hong Chengchou was surprised that the Qing army's commander He Luohui would not die, in his calculations, he would attack halfway, and all the generals with common sense would try their best to retreat to the south bank to form a formation, and then he thought.

Unexpectedly, He Luohui turned out to be a fateful master, not only desperately urging his subordinates to urgently cross the river regardless of the casualties, but even went down the river himself to the north bank.

"Shoot people and horses first, if you have good archery skills, shoot the Qing army commander in the river for the headquarters hall!"

He Luohui's armor was distinct, and he could be recognized among the ten thousand armies at a glance, and the sharpshooters in the army aimed at the chief general of the Qing army, threw off their arms and shot arrow after arrow.

"Shot, shot!"

There was a sudden burst of cheers among the Ming army, and I saw a long arrow stuck in the shoulder of the chief general of the Qing army, although it was not fatal, it also made people feel refreshed.

Hong Chengchou Huo Ran took a few steps forward and applauded again and again.

"Soldiers, drive the Tartars down the Xiaoling River and feed the fish!"
