After Li Chengdong said that, he turned his horse's head and prepared to take people to bypass Moling Town. This made Li Yuanyin around him so anxious. He knew that his cheap father would basically not change his idea, but he still had to save his father-in-law. What should he do?

Thinking of this, Li Yuanyin gritted his teeth and rushed into Moling Town with his three thousand cavalry.

Before Li Chengdong could walk out five hundred meters, a personal soldier behind him came back and reported: "Master General, no, the young marshal rushed in with 3,000 people from the headquarters. He had already fought with the Qing army!"

When Li Chengdong heard this, his face changed drastically. He picked up a whip and slapped the personal soldier, whispering, "Why don't you bastards stop him? What's the use of raising you trash?"

The personal soldier couldn't say what he had to do. He dared to stop the young marshal. In the end, Yang Dafu next to him said, "Brother, don't you know your son? Can a personal soldier stop him?"

Li Chengdong sighed and stopped the whip in his hand. He liked Li Yuanyin, the adopted son, very much. Li Chengdong is almost fifty years old and can't give birth to a child, so his all hope is on Li Yuanyin, hoping that Li Yuanyin can inherit his family business after his death. Now his son is disobedient and runs to fight with the Qing army. He, the father, must save him, or will his years of hard work be in vain?

Li Chengdong made up his mind and ordered all the troops to turn their horses and head for Moling Town, and to rescue his son Li Yuanyin.

Li Chengdong gathered a team behind to save his son, but Li Yuanyin had already rushed into the town and fought with the Qing army.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria in the town were the Eight Banners stationed in Nanjing led by Li Rutai. After looting Lishui County, they led more than 20,000 people out of the city to chase Hong Chengchou's large group of troops. However, these 20,000 people were not soldiers, and they marched very slowly in the heavy rain. Li Rutai was so angry that he had no choice but to let the soldiers kill many people without any effect. In this way, Li Rutai's 5,000 Eight Banners and 20,000 people slowly advanced in the rain.

Lishui County is forty miles away from the Qinhuai River. Li Rutai quickly walked to Moling Town on the Qinhuai River in the middle of the night. When Li Rutai arrived here, he found that there were more than 10,000 people left. The others either ran away in the dark or died under the sword of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.

More than 10,000 people were not enough to have enough cannon fodder, so Li Lutai had no choice but to stop in Moling Town and asked Zarafeng A to bring 3,000 people into the town and catch some people, so that he could make up 20,000 people. Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Yuanyin's 3,000 people suddenly appeared and slashed the 3,000 people led by Zarafeng A.

At first, Li Yuanyin took advantage of the night to cause some damage to the Eight Banners of Manchuria, but as the Qing army reacted, Li Yuanyin was no match and began to be slowly surrounded by the Qing army.

Li Rutai, who was outside the town, saw the people rushing in under the banner of the Ming army, thought it was the scattered soldiers of the Ming army. Seeing Zarafenga's hard work, he led his remaining two thousand people into the battle, preparing to quickly deal with the Ming army.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the town. Li Lutai was also a veteran on the battlefield. He knew that the enemy brigade was coming when he heard this sound. This time there were tens of thousands of cavalry. Li Lutai was about to order his subordinates to guard against the impact of the cavalry, but it was too late, and Li Chengdong and the cavalry had rushed to the front.

Li Chengdong had been on the battlefield for many years, and his experience in the battle was much better than Li Yuanyin. Instead of leading his troops into the town like Li Yuanyin, he led a large group of cavalry to circle the town and lit all the houses in the town. In this way, the Qing army in the town could not stay at all and could only come out. As soon as he left the town, he became the target of the surrounding cavalry. No matter how scattered Qing army could fight, it was no match for the established cavalry. In this way, most of the 5,000-man Eight Banners were destroyed by Li Chengdong. Of course, tens of thousands of ordinary people in Moling Town were also in trouble and died tragically under Li Chengdong's knife.

Li Yuanyin was burned to death by the fire in the town. He found a gap and escaped with his subordinates. When he saw that his three thousand troops were less than half of them left. Li Yuanyin came to see his father with a dilemma. Li Chengdong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his son had nothing to do, but now was not the time, and war was important.

"I won't retreat, but I'll see how I deal with you after the war!"

Li Yuanyin didn't dare to speak, so he could only take his own people down and bandage the wound.

Thirty thousand people fought against 5,000 people, but the enemy was unprepared. Although the Qing army had good combat power, the number of people was there. Li Ruitai saw that his 5,000 people were getting smaller and smaller, with less than two thousand people left. At the same time, the more than 10,000 people captured in Lishui were almost gone. Seeing that it was really impossible, Li Ruitai sighed and fled north with 500 personal soldiers.

As soon as the officials left, the remaining Qing army was even more leaderless and was quickly destroyed by Li Chengdong.

Li Chengdong ordered his subordinates to clean the battlefield, and at the same time he caught a living person and asked what the Qing army came from.

The news soon reached Li Chengdong. It turned out that this was the Eight Banners in Nanjing. They followed Hong Chengchou out and looted Lishui County, preparing to drive these people to attack the Ming army camp. Li Chengdong also obtained the exact location of Hong Chengchou, which was north of the Qinhuai River, less than twenty miles away from here.

Li Chengdong was overjoyed after receiving the news from the Qing army. Now the Qing army must be fighting with the Ming army, and he will definitely be able to seize the Qing army's retreat by himself. At that time, he will be a great achievement. Li Chengdong, who made up his mind, asked the soldiers to rest for a while, immediately got on the horse and drove to the Qinhuai River to prepare for a decisive battle with the Qing army.

It was better to come sooner than he did. Li Chengdong appeared in the Qing army's rear team when Hong Chengchou could not capture it for a long time. At first, Hong Chengchou thought that these cavalry were Li Lutai's people, but when he thought about it, he realized that this was the Ming army.

When Hong Chengchou saw Li Chengdong's flag, he knew that the situation was completely out of the blue today. He did not bring horses or trips to the horses in the hurry. Now there is a plain here, and there is no danger to guard except a small wood. His side had just fought a night of melee, and there was no way out for the Ming cavalry.

The facts were similar to what Hong Chengchou thought. The exhausted Qing army was the opponent of the Ming cavalry. As soon as they fought, they were stormed by the cavalry. Everyone knew that they must have failed today. Some generals snatched the horses and fled. The ordinary Qing army also followed suit and fled in all directions.

The Qing army's cavalry was consumed in a large amount of battle with the Ming army last night, but now they cannot organize effective resistance. Only a few hundred people spontaneously organized to fight with the Ming army. However, this team of hundreds of people was the opponent of 30,000 cavalry, and soon disappeared into the sea of ​​cavalry like a pile of sand.

At this time, two regiments had just been organized in the Ming army camp to go out to fight the Qing army and then fight with the Qing army. Suddenly, the sound of a terrifying battle came from a distance.

After a night of melee, Zhu Hongsan was covered in blood. At this time, he didn't bother to go back to change his clothes. He found a piece of undestroyed village wall and climbed up the corridor to see it in the distance.

Now the sky is already very large, and the rain has stopped, and the sun has come out. I have a careful look at the situation two miles away. A large number of cavalry in iron armor rushed into the Qing army and killed everywhere. The Qing army could resist at the beginning, but after a while, they lost their combat power and fled in all directions.

At this time, Tong Yangjia and Zhang Huangyan also climbed the corridor and looked outside together. When Tong Yangjia was young, he was exiled to the world. Zhang Huangyan also organized a rebel army to fight against the Qing Dynasty in eastern Zhejiang. Neither of them were capable of being tied up, so they were brave enough to come up and see what happened. Qian Qianyi and Jiang Yueguang were pure literati. They had never seen such a battle between corpses and blood. They were all so scared that they hid in the tent and did not come out.

Zhu Hongsan said to the two, "Two, please see what's going on with the opposite side? Is it the enemy's trick?"

Tong Yangjia took Zhu Hongsan's monocular lens and looked at it and said, "It doesn't look like this. The Qing army was indeed chased and killed. If this is a trick, the price would be too high!"

After reading it, Zhang Huangyan said, "Your Majesty, Lord Tong, opposite him is under the banner of the Ming army and the character "Li". Is it our team?"

Zhu Hongsan shook his head and said, "It's impossible. We don't have so many cavalry at all. Zhang Jiayu has tens of thousands of horses in Ganzhou, but the cavalry is not like musketeers who can go to the battlefield in just one month of training!"

"Your Majesty, they have the Li flag. Are they Li Chengdong's troops from Fujian who went north with Qian Yong?"

Tong Yangjia's words reminded Zhu Hongsan, yes! Li Chengdong has a large number of cavalry, but I received a few days ago that Qian Yong and the others had just arrived in Wuhu, which was 150 miles away. How did they come? No matter who they are, it is fundamental to respond to changes and protect their camp.

After Zhu Hongsan made up his mind, he asked Zhao Guodong to start treating the wounded soldiers, and then prepared muskets and cannons, and continued to do it if it didn't work.

Just as Zhu Hongsan was preparing, the Ming army two miles away divided a cavalry, with more than 500 people, led by a general to the Ming army camp.

The soldiers guarding the camp saw the group of people walking in and shouted: "Stop! What are you! You are constantly setting off firecrackers!" After that, he pushed a cannon to the shooting hole and loaded a shotgun just in case.

The general stopped five hundred meters in front of the Ming army camp and shouted loudly: "Please tell Emperor Shenwu that we are under the command of Li Chengdong, the prince of Jianning, Fujian. The last general is the prince consort of Princess Yuyang and the prince of Jianning, Li Yuanyin!"

The soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to neglect these names, so they quickly came down to report the news to Shangguan to find out.

At this time, Zhu Hongsan was changing clothes in the big tent. Although he was not injured, he was suffering a lot of blood. Zhu Hongyi could be changing clothes at this time. Compared with Zhu Hongsan, he was much more miserable. The outermost layer of armor on the three-layer heavy armor was broken, and fortunately there were two layers of chain mail below. However, in this way, Zhu Hongyi also had many wounds on his body, and the heaviest part was on his thigh. The knife was deep enough to see the bones. Fortunately, the apron with armor blocked it, otherwise it would be enough to remove half of Zhu Hongyi's leg.
