When the situation was treacherous, He Renlong was the first to suffer misfortune.
On the first day of December, He Renlong followed Hong Chengchou's order and left Linzhang Mansion.
As a result, just when he was about to enter the city, the Eight Banners army suddenly attacked.
He Renlong was unprepared and was overwhelmed by the Qing army in a battle, and kept retreating.
He Renlong was also greedy for life and afraid of death. When he saw that the situation was not right, he turned around and ran away without caring about the besieged subordinates in front of him.
His decisiveness also stunned the Qing army.
Haug never expected that someone would disregard the life and death of friendly troops.
By the time Hauge came to his senses, He Renlong was already ten miles away.
He tried to catch up again, but because the cavalry was not around, he could never catch up.
He Renlong fled to the south bank of the Zhang River. While he ordered people to send a message to Hong Chengchou to warn him, he also ordered people to cut open the entire surface of the Zhang River.
Hauge chased him to the north bank and saw the river rolling. He had no choice but to send troops to spread out in all directions to find a place to cross the river.
Hong Chengchou originally focused all his attention on Daming Mansion.
Although he didn't have much interaction with Zuo Liangyu and didn't know Zuo Liangyu's character, he was still afraid that Zuo Liangyu would make mistakes.
So while ordering He Renlong to go forward, he also asked Zu Dabi to rush to Huilong Town.
From here you can go east to meet Zuo Liangyu, and north to meet He Renlong.
Judging from the map, this arrangement is foolproof.
But Hong Chengchou made the same mistake as all Ming army generals.
That is to distribute the troops evenly, which seems to cover all aspects, but is weak in all aspects.
The Qing army's tactics were inherited from Nurhachi.
What he is best at is finding the enemy's weak points, and then concentrating all his strength to penetrate them in one go.
He Renlong became this unlucky guy.
Not only did he fail to occupy Linzhang, he also retreated nearly a hundred miles, leaving huge holes in the entire defense line.
Hauge was unyielding and swept through the Shexian and Wu'an areas in northern Henan and gained a lot.
When Hong Chengchou received the battle report, his vision went dark and he almost fainted.
At this time, he could not care about anything else and quickly ordered He Renlong to return to Zhangde Mansion and hug his main force for warmth.
As for the lost area in the north, it is no longer considered.
"Commander, it seems that we are all under attack. The Qing army only dares to attack the Ming army, so how dare they attack us?"
Within the cavalry division's headquarters, the staff members were talking a lot, and they all felt that Wang Siyi was a little too nervous.
Because the battle report came, the He Renlong tribe of the Ming army encountered the main force of the Qing army and suffered heavy losses. The battlefield was also in the Zhangde Mansion area, which was far away from the territory of the Xia Kingdom.
Amidst all the disturbance, Wang Siyi was not affected at all.
She turned over the battle report several times, trying hard to find useful information between the lines.
Huangtian paid off, and her caution was rewarded.
"Didn't Hauge catch up with He Renlong?"
The combat staff performed their duties diligently.
"The Qing army pursued them to the bank of the Zhang River. Because He Renlong had cut through the ice and could not cross the river, both sides gave up."
Wang Siyi slammed the battle report on the table with a "snap" sound, furious.
"It's about a hundred miles from Linzhang to the bank of the Zhang River. He Renlong is all infantry, but the Qing army can't catch up. You don't even think about why?"
Inside the division headquarters, everything fell silent for an instant.
Everyone knows exactly how the Qing army fought.
The North China Plain is not the mountains and hills of Korea, but it is a good place for cavalry to show off their power.
The Qing army's cavalry and archery skills were naturally unrivaled in the world, so there was no reason not to send cavalry to attack when chasing the fleeing infantry.
But the fact is that the Qing army really did not catch up with He Renlong, and he ran across the Zhang River.
Then here comes the problem.
Where did the Qing cavalry go?
Before everyone could think about it, Wang Siyi jumped up, grabbed the armor and started putting it on her body.
"Send an order to Wang Mo, asking him to lead the second regiment of cavalry to march day and night, without stopping, to go to Kaozhou, Qingfeng, and outflank Nanle. We must arrive in time tomorrow afternoon."
Everyone was shocked.
Zuo Shi quickly dissuaded him.
"This is crossing the line."
Wang Siyi mentioned several place names, all of which belonged to the Gyeonggi region of the Ming Dynasty and were located to the south of Daming Prefecture.
Xia Jun's action might stimulate Ming Dynasty's nerves.
Wang Siyi's face was stern and her attitude was firm.
"As long as I win, I don't care about anything else. Let Zuo Mengeng go and fight a lawsuit with Daming."
Everyone was sweating hotly and felt extremely helpless.
Among the Xia army, the only one who dared to call Zuo Menggeng by his name was Princess Wu.
But having said that, it is precisely because of Wang Siyi's special status that the cavalry division has fewer worries and can move very quickly.
After giving the order, Wang Siyi had already put on all the armor and picked up his sidearm with the help of the guards.
Seeing this, the others stopped arguing and delaying, packed up and got on their horses.
"Commander, what to do with those artillery pieces?"
The cavalry division also has artillery, and there are a lot of them, which is very helpful during combat.
But at this time Wang Siyi had to make a choice.
"It's too late, all the artillery is left behind. Order everyone to go into battle lightly. This time we will fight tooth and nail."
Everyone knows how powerful the Qing cavalry is. Without the support of artillery, no one is sure whether the cavalry division can win.
But in order to protect the peace of the people, there is no way to think too much.
In the entire cavalry division, except for the roaming Second Cavalry Regiment, the remaining 13,000 people, even the civilian personnel, were all mounted on war horses.
The special organization of the cavalry division determines that even those who work as civilians in this unit must have the ability to fight on horseback.
In the dark night, the cavalry division left its station and embarked on the road to the west.
Before the army, countless scouts had been sent out.
At the same time, under Damingfu City, a ball of fire lit up in the dark wilderness.
The fire light swayed back and forth, symbolizing some kind of signal.
After seeing it, Chengtou also responded with fire.
About a stick of incense later, the sound of horse hooves vibrating continuously came from the darkness.
A long queue quietly walked into Daming Mansion and took this important town of Ming Dynasty as their own.
However, they only left a very small number of troops in the city, and the rest passed through the city and moved forward in the dark.
It gets dark very late in winter, which provides the best cover.
This strange cavalry brigade had been exhausted after a night of rapid march, but it did not cause any alarm.
When they followed a dry river up, a small village appeared directly ahead in the distance.
On the flat and vast land, this village is filled with smoke and birds, and is peaceful and peaceful.
Unlike villages in other places, there are no defensive walls here and you can walk in from any direction.
The commander of the cavalry unit saw this scene and showed a cruel smile.
He raised his saber high and pointed at the village ahead.
"Come in, leave no one behind, kill them all."
The entire cavalry brigade got the order and immediately started making a noise.
Tens of thousands of people were divided into three parts.
The two units on the left and right were the fastest, but they did not enter the village, but instead moved to outflank the two wings.
Obviously, this is not intended to let anyone escape.
