Chapter 359 Encountering the Qing Army

"Yes, we are An Dongjun, aunt, can you tell us what happened here?" Lin Dong waved to the guards, signaling them to bring some food, and he helped the old woman up and sat down and said.

"Die, all dead, they are all beasts, beasts..." the woman said crying.

"You are the people in the club city and were killed by the Qing army?" Lin Dong asked tentatively.

The woman nodded and said, "The old, weak, sick and disabled were killed, and the young and strong were arrested and become slaves..."

After hearing the old woman's words, the soldiers realized that after the Qing army occupied Kaifeng, they arrested all the men and became strong men, while the young women were kidnapped, and those who were old and weak were killed on the ground with one knife.

The worst thing was the children. They were dragged out by the Qing army to kill without knowing anything, and even the bodies were taken by the Qing army to eat for the refugees.

Listening to the woman's story, the soldiers looked extremely ugly. The damn Qing army was simply not human, and they deserved to die.

"General, are you really Anton Jun?" At this moment, the woman asked again.

"Yes, this is General Lin Dong of our Andong Army." Xiong Yue said proudly.

Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly knelt in front of Lin Dong and begged: "General, please let me join the Anton Army. I want to kill the Tartars on the battlefield."

"Aunt, our Anton Army has regulations on recruiting soldiers, but you do not meet the regulations." Xiong Yue said with a embarrassed look on his face.

"General, please let me join Anton Army. I want to avenge my son..." The woman's face was extremely firm.

"But……"

Lin Dong waved his hand and said, "Auntie, don't worry. Although our Anton Army has regulations on recruiting soldiers, if you want, you can be an auxiliary soldier."

"Thank you, general, thank you, as long as you can do your best to kill the thief, when I get down, I can explain to my poor child..." The woman cried again after saying that.

"General, this..." Xiong Yue did not expect Lin Dong to agree.

Lin Dong waved his hand and said, "Xiong Yue, I know your concerns, but if you keep this aunt, I'm afraid he will never feel at ease in his life. Besides, there is no danger to the auxiliary soldiers, and there is no problem for her to join in."

After hearing Lin Dong's words, everyone was respectful. The general thought that he was kind and righteous, and even treated ordinary people equally. It was their luck to have such a general and the luck to the people of the world.

If there is a general like Lin Dong as an emperor, why worry about the injustice of the world and the people in the world cannot live a good life?

Everyone was shocked. When did they actually have such thoughts? Isn’t this a traitor? Such thoughts are unfair, unfair!

Lin Dong ordered people to take some cans and hand them over to the woman, and asked someone to arrange them to join the auxiliary army before continuing to move forward.

"Duke Ding, you put this woman in the auxiliary soldiers just to make him feel at ease, right?" Chang Yincai said meaningfully after leaving Kaifeng.

"What do Lord Taishan think?" Lin Dong asked with a calm smile.

"Kaifeng City suffered a great disaster, and the people were killed and injured. It was this environment that created the general." Chang Yin sighed and said.

Lin Dong didn't say anything. Chang Yin, the old Jinyiwei, obviously had a deeper thought than ordinary soldiers. It seemed that it would not take long before the Anton Army would become a righteous army. This would be of great benefit to both the Anton Army and Lin Dong.

After everything was arranged by Kaifeng, Lin Dong led Andong's army to head north again. After passing Kaifeng, the Yellow River was the Yellow River. At this time, the ships by the Yellow River had already been burned by the Qing army, and it was really not easy to cross the river.

"Oh, it would be great if General Peng Yun was there. With a navy, would you still be afraid that you would not be able to cross the river?" Xiong Yue sighed at the rolling river water.

"According to time, the Navy should have already been in the North Mountain. If you want to cross the river, you may have to find another way." Lin Dong sighed and said.

Of course, in addition to not having enough ships, it is also a question whether the Qing army will launch an attack when everyone crosses the river. Since ancient times, half-crossing has been the best time.

"General, don't worry, we found an elder in Kaifeng City. He knew there was a boat there." At this moment, Cheng San walked over and said.

"Oh? Take me there quickly!" Lin Dong said happily.

Under Cheng San's leadership, the group quickly found the old man. He was nearly 70 years old, but he was in good spirits. He was very happy to see Lin Dong coming.

Lin Dong immediately explained his purpose, hoping that the old man could help find the ship.

The old man did not shirk responsibility and immediately asked someone to take Lin Dong and others to a hidden river beach, where dozens of fishing boats were indeed hidden.

"Thank you!" Lin Dong bowed and thanked.

The old man waved his hand and said, "If you want to thank the general, I should thank the general. If the general hadn't arrived, my old bone would have been cut off by those damn dogs and tatars."

...

After finding the ship, Lin Dong felt a lot of heart. With the ship, he could choose a day to cross the river.

After some consideration, Lin Dong decided to build a floating bridge to cross the river. After all, if you rely solely on these dozens of small boats to pick them up, you don’t know when you can cross the Yellow River.

Under Lin Dong's order, a floating bridge was quickly built, and he immediately issued an order to cross the river.

Fortunately, when crossing the river, the Qing army did not launch an attack on the Andong army, which made Lin Dong a little uneasy.

As the saying goes, something abnormal will happen. It seems that the Qing army has evacuated Kaifeng and is ready to find an opportunity to fight the Andong army.

Sure enough, the next day after the army marched north, the troops of the Qing army were discovered thirty miles north of the army, with a number of about a few thousand.

"Thousands of Qing troops?" Lin Dong snorted coldly. It seemed that the Qing troops were not ready to run away.

In fact, it is normal to think about it. The Qing army was good at cavalry combat, and there was a huge plain in front of it, which was just suitable for large-scale cavalry attacks.

In addition, the Andong army headed north all the way, and the Qing army was already a tired army. They took up all the time.

In addition, this place is not too far from Jinan. The Haoge Army and the Shandong Army confronted each other in Jinan before. Now for so long, Jinan is probably already in the hands of Haoge.

As long as the Andong army is held back for a few days, Haoge will definitely be able to come from Jinan and encircle the Andong army.

In addition, the Azig tribe has arrived in Xi'an and will be able to advance eastward in just a few days to support Duoduo.

In this way, the Andong army was surrounded by enemies on three sides, and then there was a natural danger of the Yellow River and there was nowhere to escape. Thinking of this, Lin Dong finally understood the reason why the Qing army gave up Kaifeng.

Lin Dong looked at the map and frowned slightly. He immediately ordered the camp to be set up on the spot, and convened a group of generals to hold an emergency military meeting.
