As Qin Mufeng expected, only three days later, the Qing army escorting grain and grass from Hejian Mansion rushed to the vicinity of Qinghe County, and a large amount of grain and grass escorted made the marching speed not fast at all, even if it was a fast march, it could only go out of fifty miles at most, and it took eight days to rush from Hejian Mansion to Qinghe County.

Dolgon naturally knew the importance of grain and grass supply to the army, if the supply of 100,000 troops was cut off, it would not take a few days, it would be self-defeating, in order to protect the grain and grass, Dolgon directly sent two Zhenghuang Banner elites, one to protect the grain road from the river to the Daimyo, and the other to protect the grain road from Zhending to the Daimyo's mansion, protecting along the way.

Today's escort of grain and grass is the elite cavalry of the Yellow Banner, two Niu Lu, six hundred elites, in the eyes of the Qing army, these six hundred elites, even if they encounter one or two thousand Ming troops, are enough to ensure that they are invincible, but this time they met a strong enemy, not far ahead, the elite cavalry of the Ming army has long been prepared.

The Qing army was only able to march about forty miles a day, and as early as two days ago, the scouts in the right town of Nanjing had already discovered the traces of the Qing army's transportation team and reported back to Qin Mufeng.

"All yellow flags?"

Qin Mufeng frowned, these soldiers of Nanjing Right Town, don't know about the Eight Banners, but Qin Mufeng understands, when he followed Zhu Jie to Manchuria as an envoy, along the way, Zhu Jie taught all the information about the Eight Banners of Manchuria to Qin Mufeng and others, not only that, Qin Mufeng also saw the majesty of the Eight Banners in Shengjing, especially the elite of the Zhenghuang Banner, when it comes to combat power, it is definitely the best of the entire Ming Dynasty, even if it is his own Tianwei Army's second town elite cavalry, if he does not use the power of the musket, he is not sure that he will be able to defeat the opponent, now it seems, The Qing army really attaches great importance to the protection of the grain road, and even the elite of the Zhenghuang Banner has been dispatched!

Hundreds of elite forces of the Yellow Banner, the combat power is considerable, although they are sure to defeat it, however, if they want to be completely annihilated, it is almost impossible, and they have to pay a lot of price, now they have no backup, any cavalry is very precious, and they must not underestimate the enemy!

Qin Mufeng's eyes rolled, and he thought of a clever plan, to give him a trick to hide from the sky and cross the sea, and fish in troubled waters!

"Zhou An!"

Qin Mufeng whispered a few words in Zhou An's ear, and Zhou An hurriedly nodded and ran down.

This time the escort of grain and grass is the Yellow Banner of Jiala Ezhen Kuqi, escorted along the way with two Niu Lu's fine horses, to see that it has entered the territory of Qinghe, which is less than thirty miles away from Qinghe County, at this time, a cavalry ran over, bowed down and said: "Lord Qiqi, I found a cavalry in front of me about ten miles ahead and was rapidly advancing towards our army!" ”

Kutch frowned slightly, cavalry, when did the cavalry come out here?

"Which cavalry is it?"

The cavalry hurriedly replied: "My lord, the small ones don't look particularly real, but all of them are white flags, and they should be the elite horses of Prince Yu's white flag!" ”

Positive white flag!

Kuqi was shocked, now the two white flags are following Prince Yu to confront the Ming army in the Daimyo's Mansion, what are you doing at this time when you send cavalry to Qinghe? Could it be that something is going on in the war ahead? However, Prince Yu Duoduo has always been high-flying, when Huang Taiji was there, no one could suppress him, and now that Huang Taiji is dead and Dolgon is regent, then no one wants to provoke this Tai Sui.

"Order, the army moves forward slowly, ignore them and the white flag, in a few days, we must rush to Qinghe County!" The army had just advanced only two miles away, and in the distance, there was a burst of dust, and a cavalry appeared in front of Kuqi's eyes.

Kuqi was helpless, the current white flag is more domineering than the two yellow flags, so rampant, encountered the grain team, I don't know how to slow down the march, there is no way, who makes the master angry?

However, the cavalry on the opposite side rushed forward again, and it was already only a mile away from the escort team, and Kutch's face suddenly changed greatly, no, there was a situation!

The cavalry in front of him, although they are all under the banner of the white flag, but the outfit on the body is not the outfit of the white flag elite horseman, this is the attire of the Ming army!

Kuqi has been a great enemy for a long time and has a lot of experience, and his heart is alarmed, and he shouts angrily: "Order, the team stops advancing, is yellow flag, and is ready to fight!" ”

The elite of the positive yellow flag in the back was blindfolded when they landed, what kind of madness is this, isn't it that the cavalry with the white flag is in front, why are you still preparing for battle?

In the middle of the astonishment of the elite of the Zhenghuang Banner, the "Zhengbai Flag" elite cavalry in front of him suddenly increased his speed again, and he was already rushing towards the Zhenghuang Banner on both sides of the transportation team with all his strength, and a thousand elite cavalry rushed straight to the Zhenghuang Banner, each holding a flintlock musket in their hands!

Bang bang bang!

As the saying goes, the first strike is strong, and the second attack suffers, the elite cavalry of the right town of Nanjing suddenly attacked the killer, did not leave half time for the elite of the Zhenghuang Banner to prepare, and suddenly opened fire at a position of more than 200 steps away from the Zhenghuang Banner team, and the flintlock musket in his hand pulled the trigger, and the bullet flew towards the Zhenghuang Banner cavalry!

Yes......

Caught off guard, the elite of Zhenghuang Banner were shot and fell off their horses, and in an instant, dozens of cavalry were killed in Huangquan, and dozens of cavalry were injured!

"Enemy attack! Fight, fight! ”

Kuqi and his two Niu Lu are really crazy, and there are 20,000 or 30,000 stone of grain and grass behind them, once the grain and grass are robbed, the main force of the Qing army in the Daimyo Mansion will be in danger! Moreover, there are at least a thousand enemy cavalry in front of them, surging forward, and if you are not careful, the yellow flag is in danger!

Fortunately, the Zhenghuang Banner is the most brave and good elite force among the Eight Banners, everyone is experienced, and they quickly stabilized, and began to urge the war horses to launch a crazy assault on the enemy army on the opposite side!

"Bang bang bang!"

The second wave of shooting is also coming soon, this is the most fatal, the distance between the two sides is already less than 100 steps, another wave of musket shooting, this time, more fierce than just now, the charging Yellow Banner cavalry is dozens of people planted under the horse!

The charging Zhenghuang Banner striker was in a big mess, and suffered heavy losses twice in a row, even if the Zhenghuang Banner was extremely fierce and not afraid of death, he couldn't help but be terrified! In just a few years, at least hundreds of people have fallen off their horses, and if they don't die, they will be crippled.

"Drink!"

Just when the elite of Zhenghuang Banner was beating and the formation was disordered, the 1,000 elite cavalry of Nanjing Right Town hung up their muskets one after another, pulled out their sabers with cold light, and rushed straight to Zhenghuang Banner, and the bloody killing had just begun!
