Chapter 787
In the north of Xuzhou, in the south of Weishan Lake, in the wilderness near Jingshan, there was a loud bang, a puff of white smoke burst out, and the sky filled with mud and small stones flew down everywhere. Flying, the cavalry behind reined in their horses one after another, and there was a burst of chaos in the queue.

After the explosion calmed down, He Luohui led a group of white-armored soldiers to check it out. There was a big hole on the ground, and there was still black smoke. It was a bomb from the Ming army.

This made He Luohui frown slightly, raised his head, glanced around, suddenly narrowed his eyes, raised his whip and pointed to the distance, and shouted loudly, "There!"

Behind him, more than a dozen vests with white flags, suddenly clamped their horses' belly, rushed down the official road, and killed a small forest in the distance.

Immediately, seven or eight fiery red figures sprang out of the forest, got on their horses, and rushed south.

Dorgon left behind [-] soldiers and horses, sitting in Beijing, and personally led [-] elites to the south, intending to quickly defeat the Ming army.

He Luo will lead a thousand positive white flags to Manchuria, as a forward, to open the way for the army.

The Qing army originally wanted to make a surprise attack, but the Ming army did not want to be prepared, so they sent a battalion to Shandong, stationed at Caihua Mountain near Xueshui, and sent out scouts to monitor both sides of the canal.

He Luohui defeated this Ming army and continued to go south, but was harassed by the Ming army. The Ming army tried in vain to prevent the Qing army from approaching Xuzhou.

At this time, in the wilderness, the cavalry of the Qing army divided into multiple groups, fighting with the rangers and scouts of the Ming army, approaching Xuzhou step by step, and approaching the northern suburbs of Xuzhou.

In the wilderness to the south, there is a low mountain range, which is Jiuli Mountain, and then the Yellow River, and the south bank of the river is Xuzhou City.

At this time, on the low hills, warning beacon smoke rose, making He Luo feel a little anxious.

After all, there were only 2 Qing troops heading south from Beijing. He Luohui's mission was to seize a ferry so that the army could cross the river, and then raid the Ming army besieging Xuzhou. But now it seems that the Ming army is already prepared.

He Luohui's face darkened, and he clamped his horse's belly, "Go forward at full speed and kill all the barbarians on the north side of the Yellow River."

······
On the north bank of the Yellow River, on the top of Jingshan Mountain, there is a general flag erected, which reads "Commander Liu Zhongguanying".

Ming general Liu Zhaoji stood on the top of the hill, with Ma Yingkui, He Gang and other generals standing beside him, watching the Qing army cavalry appearing in the wilderness.

At this time, a Ming general climbed to the top of the mountain, came to Liu Zhaoji's side and said, "Report to the commander, the Jiannu vanguard is ten miles away, and the main force is thirty miles away. They will arrive sooner or later!"

Liu Zhaoji turned his head and saw boats passing by on the river, and asked, "Have the reinforcements from the Japanese army come?"

"Already boarded, halfway here!" He Gang clasped his fists.

Liu Zhaoji asked again: "Is the artillery team here?"

"Chen Yujie has gone to coordinate. The navy should bring the cannon over soon."

Liu Zhaoji nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go, go see Commander Wu."

······
At the foot of the mountain, the scouts of the Ming army rode their horses back, followed by the cavalry of the Qing army who were chasing after them, and soldiers of the Ming army were constantly shot off their horses.

At this time, on the low hill, the soldiers of the Ming army raised a large banner, greeted with firecrackers, bows and arrows, and then forced the Qing army's cavalry to retreat.

The vanguard of the Qing army saw that the Ming army was prepared and was alone and alone, so they dared not continue to pursue them, but they did not go far away, but cruised at the foot of Jiuli Mountain.

In the afternoon, in the wilderness at the northern foot of Jiuli Mountain, there was a thunderous sound of horseshoes, and billows of yellow dust rose from the ground, like sand dust rising suddenly in the desert.

Nearly [-] Qing troops trampled on the ground, causing the ground to tremble, and countless Qing troops began to appear in the Ming army's field of vision.

This time, the Qing army came here were all elites, almost all armored Eight Banners soldiers, not the green battalion that the Ming army met in Lianghuai wearing a cloth jacket, a bamboo hat on their head, and no protection from top to bottom.

[-] armored soldiers, placed anywhere, is a terrifying force, and the combat power may exceed more than [-] green battalions.

In ancient times, not everyone wore armor. Most of the soldiers wore ragged jackets. The 34 army of the Western Wei Dynasty only had more than [-] armored soldiers. The C battalion rarely mobilizes the D battalion, so it feels like everyone is armored and very elite.

The Qing army and the Wei army have different combat concepts. After the three battalions of the Wei army are exhausted, they can be replenished immediately, so they like to use the elite to fight, while the Eight Banners, especially the Manchu Eight Banners, are subject to population factors and dare not consume them. The army always likes to cover up the elite soldiers and drive the green battalion and Baoyi to fight. When fighting the Wei army, they are often weaker than the Wei army in all aspects.

The [-] armored horse troops, wearing shiny armors of various colors, have flags of different colors behind them, and some soldiers have small flags of various colors hanging on their guns, representing the identities of their respective flags, galloping over with overwhelming momentum.

This is the last elite of the Qing Dynasty, and it is also where Dorgon's confidence lies.

······
The war horse galloped across the wilderness, and not far from the Ming army's line, Dorgon reined in the horse.

At this time, a group of white-armored soldiers galloped towards us, led by He Luohui. Dorgon waved his hand, and behind him, the big flag, the Qing army and horse troops in the wild stopped one after another with the sound of horns, and immediately covered the ground. A layer of carpet.

The cold wind was blowing, the flags were flying, tens of thousands of horse troops were stationed in the wilderness, there was no sound, only the horseshoes were stirring the ground, the horses' heads were snorting, and the world was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

He Luohui came to Dorgon on horseback, and reported: "My lord, a part of the Ming army has set up defenses along Jiuli Mountain and the north bank of the Yellow River. It seems that they don't want us to cross the river."

Dorgon nodded when he heard the words, and suddenly frowned slightly, "Where is the cannon?"

The sound of "boom boom boom" came faintly, and there seemed to be bursts of shouts mixed in.

He Luohui turned his head to look at the defense line of the Ming army, and said, "My lord, it should be the Ming army that is attacking Xuzhou City!"

Dorgon's heart trembled, if the Ming army captured Xuzhou and had the city as a backing, the war would be a protracted war, but he had no time to spend time with the Ming army.

If the Qing army stays in Xuzhou for too long, let the Wei army defeat Azig, occupy Hedong, and then go out of Huguan and go straight to Beijing, then Dorgon and the main force of the Qing army will be blocked in the pass and want to escape back outside the pass , it is impossible.

In an instant, Dorgon understood Zhu Cihong's intention, blocked him, and then ate Xuzhou.

At that moment, Dorgon's face darkened, "Send the order, the army is ready to attack immediately, tear a hole, and let Nikan know that the king is here!"

"Cha!" Behind Tan Tai and other generals, they saluted immediately, and then pulled out the reins to mobilize soldiers and horses.

Dole rolled and licked his chapped lips, and then ordered: "He Luohui, you send someone to go upstream and downstream to see if there are any suitable places and boats to cross the river!"

······
On the top of the mountain, Wu Risheng, Liu Zhaoji and other Ming army generals overlooked the Qing cavalry in the wilderness. Behind them was the Yellow River, and the navy led by Zheng Sen, Zhang Mingzhen, Gao Yiyu and other generals swam in the river.

In the south of the Yellow River is the city of Xuzhou, where artillery roars, gunpowder smoke fills the air, and clouds of white smoke curl up, float into the air, and are blown away by the cold wind.

Around the city, under the urging of Huang Degong and Gao Mingheng, ant-like soldiers of the Ming army launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on Xuzhou City.

Flags are flying on Jiuli Mountain, warships are shuttling in the Yellow River, the sound of killing in Xuzhou city is loud, eagles fly across the sky, their eyes overlook the earth, and there is a magnificent scene of war in their eyes~~~~~~
