Chapter 274 High Thief, You Are Playing With Fire
On the tower of the South Gate of Zhengzhou, Abatai, Boluo and his son looked out from the city, and saw the sky in the south covered with smoke and dust, and suddenly became furious.

"Who is it? Which bastard is he so mad?" Abate's eyes turned red. The grain in the field was about to be harvested, but now it was burned, and his calculations were completely disrupted. This made him intolerable. .

"Master Baylor, could it be the local bandits from Xuzhou and other places?" A general next to him asked.

Boluo shook his head, "Why would the local bandits burn food? How could they have such a vision."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Zuo Ling who came back to report, "Tell me about the specific situation you have seen."

"Reporting to Beizi, when the slave was collecting grain and grass in the south of the city, he suddenly found a big fire in the nearby wheat field, so he went to check it. When the slave galloped to the vicinity of Meishan, he saw many barbarian soldiers holding torches and setting fire everywhere. He was about to kill them, but Seeing that many barbarians and horse troops came to meet them, and there were few slaves, I came back to report."

"There's Ma Jun?" Boluo raised his brows, and immediately turned to Abatai and said, "Ama, I know who it is."

Abatai looked at him, "Who is it?"

"Gao Thief Yihuan!" Boluo gritted his teeth, "Only he has a large horse army, and only he has the motivation to burn food."

Gao Yihuan robbed his war horse in Shandong, and almost killed him on the bank of the Yellow River. When he heard that there was a horse army, he thought of Gao Yihuan.

Abatai's face darkened, and he also thought of Shandong, "It's him? He's courting death!"

Boluo continued: "The high-ranking thief may have two motives for going north this time to burn the wheat fields. One is to help Bai Wang and Li Yan and prevent our Qing army from attacking Luoyang. It will be very difficult to attack his south of Henan without food supplies."

Gao Yihuan's territory is on the line between Runing and Nanyang. If the Qing army cannot obtain food north of Runing, the Qing army can only transfer grain from the north of the Yellow River if they want to attack him.

In this way, the food road of the Qing army will be prolonged, and the situation in the north is presumably unable to support the Qing army's long-term combat.

In this way, Gao Yihuan guarded the walls and cleared the fields for two months, and the Tartars had to return north when they ran out of food.

Abatai was furious, "Shandong's account has not been settled with him yet, and he actually delivered it to his door. I think he is pulling his teeth out of a tiger's mouth, looking for death!"

Bo Luo also hated this Gao Yihuan deeply, "Last year the regent sent someone to buy food in the Guan, but was also destroyed by the high thief. He didn't nest in Runing, enjoy it for a few days, and was ready to die, but came to Zhengzhou to give away the head. I don't know life or death."

After the trip to Shandong, Abatai was refrigerated. This time, he finally set off with Duoduo and led a partial division to take care of the food and grass.

Originally Duoduo asked him to expropriate [-] shi of grain, but he had already patted his chest and guaranteed the ticket.

Now that Gao Yihuan suddenly burned his food, it was embarrassing him, making him unable to do business, and making him unable to hold his head up in front of the fifteenth brother.

"Boluo, you stay in Zhengzhou, Bohetuo, Dong Daiqing, gather your troops and go out with me!" Abatai was furious, gritted his teeth with hatred, and said: "Zhengzhou is so flat, how dare a high-ranking thief stand in front of my eyes!" Playing with fire, you just treat me like nothing! Order the army to follow me out of the city immediately, and wipe out the high-ranking thieves!"

Fighting on the plains, the Qing army was not afraid at all, except for the battle of Hunhe, which was a bit miserable. Has anyone seen Qing soldiers lose in field battles?
Many generals of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties immediately took orders one after another, and they were bound to destroy Gao Yihuan, who was not open-eyed.

Dare to shit on Da Qing's head, he must be tired of work.

South of Zhengzhou, near Meishan.

Gao Yihuan and others stood on a hill overlooking the north.

After discussing with Jin Shenghuan and others, he found that if he wanted to rob Duoduo's grain and grass, he still couldn't get around the enemy of Zhengzhou.

Although Xingyang is only a county town, and there are only 2000 defenders, he can bypass Zhengzhou and take down Xingyang, but once a war starts in Xingyang, the Qing troops in Zhengzhou and Hulao Pass will soon find out.

And Xingyang happened to be between the two. Even if he succeeded, he would be flanked by the Qing army in Hulao and Zhengzhou.

For this reason, Gao Yihuan can only design to destroy the Zhengzhou defenders, at least to disable them, so that they have no ability to stop them.At the same time, immediately after the battle, cavalry was sent northward to attack Xingyang.

In this way, without Zhengzhou's Qing army intercepting, after the Ma army sneaked into Xingyang, they could quickly bypass Zhengzhou and go south, retreating in the direction of Xinzheng and Xuzhou.

Abatai has 1 horses, mainly stationed in Xingyang, Zhengzhou, Mixian, Zhongmu and other places, of which more than [-] main forces are stationed in Zhengzhou.

More than [-] Tatars were stationed in Zhengzhou, so Gao Yihuan naturally had no way to attack.

Although he didn't want to fight in the wild, he still decided to lure the Tartars out and fight near Meishan.

At this time, the troops he sent to burn the fields had returned one after another, but Zhengzhou City hadn't moved yet.

Seeing that the sky was approaching noon and there was no news, Gao Yihuan became a little anxious.

Could it be that the Qing army was more cautious when they saw him burning the fields and knew that soldiers and horses were coming from the south?
"Not at all! After Donglu entered the customs, he defeated Li Zicheng, and his arrogance was high. He shouldn't be intimidated by him. Besides, the leader of Zhengzhou City is Abatai, who is a reckless man. Shandong's enmity, doesn't he want to fuck me?"

Gao Yihuan was thinking about it when several cavalry galloped back from a distance, one of them was covered in blood, and there were six or seven human heads hanging on both sides of the horse, and the other army looked sideways at him.

Hu Dawei galloped to the foot of the mountain, got off his horse, carried the head up the hillside, and threw the Tartar's head on the ground, making Gao Yihuan jump.

"Commander, the Tatars from Zhengzhou have already dispatched, about [-] horses are coming here." Hu Dawei proudly clasped his fists, "This is the forward sentry cavalry of the Tartars, I killed it! "

Gao Yihuan was overjoyed when he heard that, five thousand riders is not too much, and he is five times stronger than the enemy, so he should be able to fight a battle.

"Okay!" Gao Yihuan was emotional, and all the soldiers were excited and nervous.

Gao Yihuan waved his arms and said to the people behind him: "This battle must be won. Set up the formation!"

The military order was passed on, and the soldiers resting in the hills immediately rushed out of the forest.

Because it was the Tartars who came to attack, Gao Yihuan could choose the battlefield calmly, so he naturally picked a terrain that was favorable to him.

The battlefield is placed in an area where the hills are sunken inwards. The high-ranking soldiers will arrange archers and firearms on the low hills on both sides of the hills, and the infantry will line up in the sunken place with their backs against the hills.

Part of the cavalry wandered in the wilderness outside the hills, maintaining mobility.

The other part continued to hide, preparing to counterattack at critical moments.

At this moment, when Gao Yihuan was setting up his formation, there was a rumble from the distant land, and a thick line suddenly appeared on the horizon. Thousands of capable cavalry galloped towards Gao Jun like huge waves.
