"What!"

Yuan Zongdi and Liu Fangliang's hearts were shocked, and they looked at the scout at the same time.

"How many troops are attacking Yuncheng?"

The scout hurriedly replied: "Two lords of Qiqi, according to small observations, the strength of the Qing army is not less than 20,000, and may even reach 30,000, and it carries artillery and siege equipment, all of which are elite forces entrenched in Dongchang Mansion!" ”

Yuan Zongdi and Liu Fangliang were shocked, Song Jiaxing had written to two people before sending troops, in order to be able to defeat Azig and teach the Qing army a cruel lesson, Song Jiaxing transferred all the elites of the Yuncheng army in one go, leaving only a few thousand troops, even if the Tianwei army is fierce, in the face of the Qing army's 20,000 or 30,000 troops, and also carrying red-clothed artillery, it is difficult for the Tianwei army to hold Yuncheng, after all, Yuncheng is just a small county town with a population of only tens of thousands!

"Old Yuan, now Song Jiaxing is leading the main force to confront Azig in Tai'an Prefecture, even if you want to return to help, it is not an easy thing, it is easy to be followed and pursued by others, and it is directly defeated, except for us, there are no reinforcements nearby in Yuncheng, we must not stand by like this!"

Liu Fangliang shouted urgently.

Yuan Zongdi nodded, no need for Liu Fangliang to say, he also understood that once the Tianwei army in Yuncheng was defeated by the opponent, then next, it would be Caozhou's turn, the Tianwei army was not the opponent of the Qing army, and the seven or eight thousand people under him and Liu Fangliang were not the elite opponents of Manchuria, no matter what, they had to deal with the Tianwei army, even if Yuncheng couldn't hold it, it didn't matter, as long as the Tianwei army was taken down and Caozhou was held, it would be a blessing to invite the sky.

"Without further ado, we must send troops immediately!"

None of the two critical times of the brother confessed, gathered 7,000 troops, and immediately killed Caozhou and went straight to Yuncheng.

Just a hundred miles from Caozhou to Yuncheng, the soldiers of Kaifeng Town encountered an ambush by the Qing army, and the unlucky Kaifeng Town was injured by the Qing army for the second time.

The Qing army in Dongchang Mansion almost poured out, but it was Wu Sangui who supervised the battle in Yuncheng but not He Luohui, one is because Wu Sangui is better at siege tactics than He Luohui, and the second reason is because He Luohui also has an important task, that is, to run long distances and ambush Kaifeng Town that rushed to aid Yuncheng halfway.

He Luohui galloped all the way from Dongchang Mansion with 5,000 elite horsemen to Shuangqiao Town, which is halfway between Yuncheng and Cao County, and prepared to ambush on the spot.

Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi urgently marched for a day and a night, just rushed to the vicinity of Shuangqiao Town, at this time, the army was already sleepy and tired, one day and one night, marching nearly a hundred miles, extremely tired, at this time, He Luohui commanded five thousand elite cavalry from the oblique spur suddenly killed, the three cavalry were like three sharp swords and half, before Kaifeng Town reacted, it was completely penetrated to Kaifeng Town!

Don't say that the current Kaifeng Town has been marching for a whole day, and it was suddenly attacked, even if the Kaifeng Town soldiers who are recuperating and recharging, they are definitely not the opponents of others when they face off against He Luohui's Manchurian elite cavalry, even if Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi are both fierce generals in the world, even if the strength of Kaifeng Town is stronger than He Luohui, there is no use!

Because, they are facing the Manchurian elite cavalry, the combat power of these soldiers in Kaifeng Town is really not good, even if it has been trained by two famous generals during this time, it is still not the opponent of the Manchurian elite cavalry, suddenly attacked, where is there a good life?

The unlucky Kaifeng Town was stunned by the Manchurian elite cavalry as soon as it came up, and was ruthlessly cut into several sections by the Manchurian elite cavalry, and encountered the full encirclement and suppression of the Manchurian elite cavalry, Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi were shocked!

Ambush! Ambush!

This time it's going to be unlucky, in this situation, don't say that the whole body retreats, Kaifeng Town can not be wiped out is already a blessing, five thousand fine horses, don't say seven thousand troops, even if it is a complete force, it is definitely not someone's opponent......

The two of them tried their best to command the soldiers of Kaifeng Town to fight with all their strength to prevent the assault of the Manchurian elite cavalry, but it was useless, once the speed of the Manchurian elite cavalry rushed up, not to mention the infantry of Kaifeng Town, even if it was the infantry of the Tianwei Army, there was only one outcome - rout!

The Manchurian elite cavalry is like entering a no-man's land, and the soldiers of Kaifeng Town are scattered, and Kaifeng Town is defeated like a mountain!

From the afternoon to nightfall, after only an hour of fierce fighting, Kaifeng Town completely collapsed, Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi couldn't hold on at all, and had to lead the remnants of the defeated army to retreat all the way to Caozhou.

He Luohui sneered with a sneer on his face, led the cavalry to pursue closely, and he was not in a hurry, that is, he fell behind the soldiers of Kaifeng Town, and the distance between the two was only one or two miles.

When they arrived in front of Caozhou City, it was already after noon the next day, Yuan Zongdi and Liu Fangliang breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally withdrew to Caozhou alive!

"Open the door, open the door!"

Yuan Zongdi shouted.

The soldiers at the head of the city saw it clearly, it was the brothers of Kaifeng Town, the two adults came back so quickly, and the brothers were a little too miserable, one by one they lost their armor, they were miserable, no need to ask, they must have suffered a defeat!

The soldiers at the head of the city hurriedly lowered the city gate and prepared to welcome the two adults into the city.

At this time, all of a sudden, He Luohui's cavalry suddenly accelerated and swooped towards the city gate, like lightning, not giving Yuan Zongdi and Liu Fangliang the slightest chance to react!

The two of them were shocked, wiped it, it's fatal, at this time, the Manchurian Tartars are still going to launch a surprise attack, how can this be resisted?

Now the strength of the two people is less than 2,000 people, after a day and a night of rapid marching, and after a day and a night of running with all their might, the current Kaifeng town rout soldiers can even walk so tired that they can sleep, where is there still a little combat power at all?

"Quick, quick, block the attack of the Tartars, block the attacks of the Tartars!"

Yuan Zongdi roared violently, rose up with might, turned around and rushed towards the cavalry of the Qing army, had to fight, had to fight, if the Qing army rushed into Caozhou City, then the fall of Caozhou was inevitable, this is the gateway from Shandong to Henan, even if you die, you can't lose it!

However, with these routs in front of them, how can they still withstand the attack of the Manchurian elite cavalry?

With just one assault, He Luohui's elite cavalry had already rushed to the gate of the city and killed him towards the city, as for Yuan Zongdi, he had already drowned in the cavalry of the Manchurian elite cavalry!
