Chapter 448 Defeat Gao Yihuan First
Duoduo decided to send troops, but he didn't charge forward with his eyes closed. He had to know himself and the enemy.

After discussing with Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, the [-] Qing troops marched southward and sent scouts to the south to see how the situation in Runing was.
One day later, the main force of the Qing army arrived at Shangcai, and the camps of Wei Wujun and Liu Heizi had been emptied. The information obtained by the Qing army was verified one by one.

At this time, it was dusk, and the evening glow reflected the eastern sky red. Duoduo and several generals stood in Gao Yihuan's camp, looked around, and said, "It seems that Manzi Gao is really planning to withdraw."

Seeing a lot of supplies and vehicles scattered in the camp, he knew that Gao Yihuan left in a hurry.

"My lord, we have to send troops as soon as possible, we can't let Gao Yihuan flee south with Ru Ning's money, food and luggage!" Kong Youde pulled the reins and stepped forward.

But Duoduo said: "Gao Yihuan wants to take away the money, food and supplies, the team will definitely not go fast, don't worry!"

"Report!" When Duoduo was talking to several people, a voice with a long ending sound came.

Duoduo couldn't help frowning and looked, and saw a group of cavalry galloping over.

The leading general of the Qing army galloped towards Duoduo like a gust of wind. He hurriedly got off his horse and saluted, "Report to the lord, King Zhishun urgently reports that there are changes in Nanjing!"

After finishing speaking, the general took out a letter and presented it to Duoduo. Duduo took the letter suspiciously and opened it. It was not a gratifying handwriting, but the content surprised him.

Seeing this, Kong Youde couldn't help asking: "My lord, what's the matter?"

Duoduo handed the letter to him, then frowned and said: "The small barbarian court in Nanjing has changed, and the main combat faction has the upper hand. It is very likely that the Ming army will increase troops to the front line of Xuzhou."

After hearing this, everyone was shocked, and Kong Youde hurriedly lowered his head to check the contents of the letter.

Although the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty were not afraid of the Ming army, the Ming army had several 10 people after all. If they really wanted to increase their troops to Xuzhou, Beizhi and Shandong would be in danger.

The Manchu Qing had always paid close attention to the movements in Nanjing, dispatched many secret agents, and even some Ming Dynasty officials had secretly defected to the Qing court.

This letter was written by an official named Chen Hongfan. He was a member of the Northern Mission. Paralyzed the Nanjing court.

It was precisely because of people like Chen Hongfan who provided information to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and let the Qing court know every move of the Nanjing court that Dorgun dared to send two armies to collect Guanzhong, leaving only a small number of troops in the Northern Zhili area.

"My lord, this~" Kong Youde was troubled after reading the letter.

Geng Zhongming also hurriedly glanced at the letter, and then said: "Xuzhou Gao Mingheng is an out-and-out main fighter. If the Ming Dynasty changes too much, then Shandong and Beizhili will have to guard against it! My lord, we have to continue Entering the army?"

Duoduo also frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said decisively, "Continue to march! In the small court of the Manzi in Nanjing, the main faction of the main fighters has the upper hand. The king must defeat Gao Manzi before this, and give Nanjing’s main combat faction a blow, so as to change Nanjing’s attitude. If we retreat to defend Shandong and Beizhi now, not only Gao Manzi will have a chance to breathe, but the morale of Manzi’s small court will also be boosted It is not conducive for us to destroy them."

After hearing this, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming couldn't help nodding their heads, "Your Highness is right. You have to defeat Gao Yihuan before the Ming army takes action. The attitude of the little court will definitely change again."

Duoduo said no more, and waved his horsewhip, "Send the army to prepare to march into Runing."

In the north of Runing City, at the confluence of Shahe River and Rushui River, Zhao Daxian was neatly dressed, holding the handle of the knife in his hand, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Haven't you eaten yet? Move faster!"

Three thousand soldiers of Wei Wujun arranged various equipment at the junction of the river mouth.

The scouts reported that the Qing army had already arrived at Shangcai, and they could reach the city of Runing in a day.

Zhao Daxian's task is to stop Duoduo, buy Gao Yihuan some time to prepare, and confuse Duoduo at the same time.

At this time, [-] soldiers were stepping up to arrange obstacles. Thousands of people were busy sharpening the logs, and then inserting them into the soil at an angle. , set up a line of defense.

"Here we come!" The soldiers were busy when suddenly a soldier exclaimed.

Zhao Daxian hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw a black line appearing three or four miles to the north, like a flood in Rushui.

After a while, the sound of rolling horseshoes came, the ground trembled, and the black line moved rapidly. In the blink of an eye, countless horse heads rushing forward appeared in front of Wei Wujun's eyes.

Zhao Daxian looked solemn, clenched the handle of the knife tightly, and shouted sharply, "Hurry up, all the soldiers return to their positions and prepare to fight!"

As soon as the military order was issued, the soldiers hurriedly put down the things in their hands, picked up their weapons and deployed their defenses behind.

The cavalry of the Qing army had spotted Wei Wujun who was blocking the way ahead, but they had no intention of stopping, and rushed over in an instant.

The horse army of the Qing army was mighty, rushing forward like a torrent, and the sound of huge horseshoes was like thunder, echoing in the wilderness, like a rolling mudslide, which made people feel irresistible.

They saw Wei Wujun setting up obstacles from a distance, and felt that they could catch Wei Wujun by surprise, so they didn't stop, but continued to move forward.

Soon the Qing army cavalry in front began to draw their bows and arrows, and when they were about to step forward, there was a wave of arrows raining.

This is a common method used by the cavalry of the Qing army. First, the huge momentum of the horse army is used to frighten the enemy, and then the enemy's formation is disrupted by cavalry and shooting, creating opportunities for the heavy cavalry to charge into the formation.

The horse army was very fast, and soon closed the distance with Wei Wujun. At this moment, suddenly, a puff of smoke rose from the side, and a cannonball hit a horse. The horse screamed, the knight flew, and people flew Suddenly, there was a scream.

The cavalry continued to charge forward, and an accident happened suddenly. Several horses in the front suddenly hissed sadly and fell forward. There were more than a dozen horsemen behind, unable to dodge in time, and the cavalry fell down one after another.

For a moment, the ground was full of messes, blood and flesh were mutilated on the ground, and there was a lot of screams. The cavalry behind were so frightened that they reined in their horses, turned their horses' heads, and turned back, not daring to continue to attack Wei Wujun.

There was cheers on Wei Wujun's front line. Seeing that Wei Wujun was prepared and had no chance, the Qing army stopped in the distance, peeking at Wei Wujun's defense line, waiting for the main force to arrive.

Zhao Daxian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the cavalry of the Qing army standing in the distance, but at this moment, a horn sounded in the distance, and when he looked up, he saw the Qing army rolling in like a wave~
