"Are you saying that Qin Mu didn't take this king's 80,000 army in his eyes at all?"

Duoduo's eyes were a little cold, like a beast that had been provoked, eagle and wolf, murderous.

Although he is slightly more in the overall situation than Azig, he is only a relatively tyrannical Azig, from his wanton violence in snatching Fan Wencheng's wife back to the mansion, and massacring hundreds of thousands of people in Yangzhou, we can see how arrogant his nature is.

Ning Wan realized that his words inadvertently stung Duoduo, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, please calm your anger, Qin Mu is really an ignorant child, he relied on the benefits of the water master to obtain Jiangnan, so he made his own efforts, he is self-defeating, why should the prince be like him." ”

"You're right, he's bringing about his own destruction." Duoduo smiled coldly.

"Lord Wang, do you want to" From Duoduo's eyes that intended to devour people and eat, Ning Wan understood his thoughts, and hurriedly persuaded, "Lord Wang, this matter must be cautious, from here to Chuzhou, no less than three hundred miles, if Qin Mu is alert in advance and flees back to Jinling, we will be alone and deep, and we will become embattled, in case the back road is cut off, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Duoduo said disdainfully, "What about going three hundred miles? Three hundred miles is just a day's journey for our Daqing Iron Cavalry. I think back then, I waited to knock on the gate and enter and go straight to Shandong, not to mention going deep into thousands of miles? Who cares about me? ”

Ma Laxi, Gong Adai, Xi Han, Tong Tulai, Zuo Mengeng, Li Yongfang, Sun Degong, Zu Dale and others got up one after another to ask for battle after hearing the clues.

Gushan Ezhen Ma Laxi originally went down to the south of the Yangtze River with Duoduo, and was a very brave man in Changzhou, Yixing, Changshu and other cities, and he said loudly: "Lord, we may be easily hindered in attacking Jiancheng, but if we talk about cavalry warfare. Is the Qin army the opponent of my Great Qing Iron Cavalry? Not to mention going deep for 300 miles, even if it is 3000 miles, the enemy can't do anything.

If Qin Mu was in Jinling, across the rolling Yangtze River, we couldn't help him for a while, but now he got carried away and ran to Chuzhou, which was his own death. Prince, as the so-called opportunity cannot be lost, the time will not come again, please let the prince quickly give the order to attack Chuzhou. ”

Zu Dale was also eager to try: "Lord Wang." The Qin army is good at defending, if we attack city by city, our army will definitely suffer heavy losses, even if we can advance to the north bank of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that we will no longer be able to cross the river. The soldiers are fast, if we gallop three hundred miles a day. Surprise attack on Chuzhou. If Qin Mu can be captured, the dragons of the Qin State will be leaderless, and they will definitely collapse without attacking.

Even if Qin Mu is lucky not to die, as long as he is trapped in Chuzhou City, all the men and horses of the Qin army will definitely not be able to see death and not be rescued, and then we can rely on the advantage of cavalry. Qin Jun came all the way, let's destroy him all the way, when it really goes, the world will decide! ”

The temptation is huge, and everyone has lost confidence in the siege of the city in the first battle of Sizhou. As Zu Dale said, if they are like Sizhou, one city after another will be attacked, and there will be no one in the Qing Dynasty when they reach the Yangtze River.

And the surprise attack on Chuzhou is the inevitable rescue of the enemy, as long as Qin Mu can be trapped in Chuzhou, it will be considered a success.

Surrounding Qin Mu can completely disrupt the Qin army's position, and when the Qin army hurriedly comes to help, the advantages of the Qing army's cavalry can be fully brought into play, and the Qin army that came to help will be defeated all the way, completely reversing the current unfavorable situation.

Gong Adai added a sentence after the most reluctance: "Lord Wang, take a step back, even if Qin Mu is alert and escapes the river in advance, we can't make a surprise attack on Chuzhou, with our speed, who can help me if we retreat?" Back and forth, but only two days. ”

Among the people present, except for Ning Wan and me, I had some concerns, and the rest of them all asked for battle. Duoduo did not hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered to attack Chuzhou.

Sizhou is located on the north bank of the Huai River, and if you want to attack Chuzhou, you have to cross the Huai River first.

In order to avoid delaying the time and allowing Qin Mu to flee back to Jinling in advance, Duoduo ordered the 10,000 troops on the south bank of the Huai River to set off first and rush to Chuzhou overnight, making sure to trap Qin Mu.

Then he left more than 30,000 men and horses to continue to attack Sizhou and control the waterway of the Huai River, so that the Qin army's sailors could not go upriver to attack Fengyang Mansion.

He selected 30,000 elite cavalry to cross the river, winter is the dry period of the Huai River, it is not difficult to cross the Huai River, but the Qin army's naval division guarding the mouth of the river is a major threat to crossing the river;

In order to ensure a smooth crossing of the river, Duoduo had people cut down bamboo and wood, and drove out thousands of bamboo rafts, which were connected with iron chains and spread on the surface of the river, which were loaded with dry firewood.

In addition, hundreds of artillery pieces were also placed on the riverside as shore artillery, and tens of thousands of Qing troops acted overnight, and overnight, not only rushed out the bamboo rafts blocking the river, but also set up two pontoon bridges to cross the river in the shallow upper water.

The next day, 30,000 elite cavalry began to cross the Huai River south.

As expected, the Qin army's sailors really came up against the current, ready to attack, the Qing army bombarded fiercely with shore artillery, and rows of fire rafts were lit on the river, and the flames swept the sky, and floated down the river under the northwest wind;

Because the bamboo raft was locked by iron chains, the Qin army could not push it away, and some ships were set ablaze by the raft instead. Billowing black smoke enveloped the entire surface of the river, causing people to weep and lose sight.

Forced by thousands of rafts, the Qin army had to temporarily retreat to Hongze Lake, allowing Duoduo's 30,000 elite iron horsemen to cross the Huai River from upstream.

There is a northwest-northeast trending mountain range in the north of Chuzhou, which stretches to the vicinity of Xuyi, but from Xuyi to the south, go to the area of Tianchang County, but it is a boundless plain area, and the plain is rice fields and water, a typical land of fish and rice.

If it's summer, and there is water in the rice fields, people and horses are sad.

But in this cold winter season, the rice fields are dry, and you can run horses casually.

The 10,000-strong army set out one night in advance, and by dawn it had traveled nearly a hundred miles south.

His 10,000 cavalry, it turned out that the attack on Xuyi was just taking advantage of the situation, and it was originally prepared to attack the reinforcements of the Qin army, so he said that he would go, and the speed was amazing.

When he arrived in Tianchang County, the Qin army stationed in Tianchang hurriedly went to the city to defend, and there were about four or five thousand people.

Che Baizhi was not here, and he didn't even look at the county seat, and 10,000 cavalry with a cold wind swept past the city and killed Lai'an County in the west.

The scene of thousands of horses galloping, mighty and swallowing rivers and mountains, the earth was constantly trembling, and the dull sound of bombardment was heard twenty or thirty miles away, and the people along the way fled in horror, but fortunately, Chebai did not bother to slow down the speed of the war horses for them, and turned a blind eye.

Chebai was tired of running, and when he was resting in Shiliang Town, west of Tianchang County, a "refugee" who came south with Xia Chengde found him and reported: "General Chebai, Qin General Su Jin came from the direction of Yangzhou with 8,000 cavalry, and probably came to An, thinking that he was going to Chuzhou." ”

Chebai has fought for many years, his military achievements are impressive, he is burly, he grabs stones with clouds, pulls mountains and lifts the top, and is extremely fierce, known as "the first warrior of Manchuria".

Hearing the news of Su Jin's eight thousand cavalry, he didn't have a hint of panic, and asked murderously, "What about Qin Mu?" Is Qin Mu still in Chuzhou? ”

"Back to General, Qin Mu is still in Chuzhou."

"That'll do." Che Bai replied nonchalantly.

As long as Qin Mu is still in Chuzhou, everything is easy to do, not to mention 8,000 cavalry, even 10,000, so what?

In the field, Chebai firmly believed that his 10,000-strong army could be defeated with a single charge.

In order to prevent Qin Mu from escaping back to Jinling after hearing the news, after the army rested for an hour, Chebai ordered to set off again and continue to rush towards Chuzhou, this time he was determined to win.

In the city of Chuzhou, Su Jin, who had just arrived, went straight to the compound where Qin Mu was staying, and bowed down as soon as he met: "King Qin, there is news from the front, the chelatory has passed the long time, and Duoduo has also crossed the Huai River to the south, and the plan to lure the enemy has been completed, and the minister of the court and the central government asked the king of Qin to immediately oppose Beijing." ”

Niu Wanshan, Li Shi and others also bowed down together, and begged in unison: "Please King Qin immediately oppose Beijing!" ”

"Please King Qin immediately oppose Beijing!"

"Please King Qin immediately oppose Beijing!"

Qin Mu pressed the hilt of his sword and said in a deep voice: "What are you yelling, get up, this is also called done?" If this king returns to Beijing at this time, the Qing army is not a fool, and immediately knows that Lu Dao is a plan, they are all cavalry, and if they want to retreat, they can return to Fengyang in one day, what can you do? ”

Su Jin hurriedly said: "King Qin with his personal guards, just disguise yourself a little, cover up and hide, King Qin, Chebai is coming to An, it's too late if you don't leave, please set off immediately." ”
