Can Ajige, who has an army of 80,000 in Xuzhou, be willing to "help" Dorgon with one hand?

Obviously it is impossible. Ajigbaba cannot die earlier and can give up the position of regent to make him happy.

Even if this is around Dorgon, it is not a solid piece.

For example, Ganglin and Qi Chongge, the two "Han and Ha generals", if Dorgon is healthy, then there is no doubt about their loyalty, but the problem is that these two people may know better than Dorgon himself, how long does Dorgon live?

The money falls down and the money scatters, and the wall falls down and everyone pushes it. The living cannot be dragged to death by a dead person, right?

Therefore, Dorgon's plan seems meticulous, but in fact it is full of loopholes, which is simply a joke.

However, neither side of the warring parties realized this at this time, because even if Dorgon's plan was full of loopholes, the Qing army in the battlefields of Huai'an, Yangzhou and Fengyang was real, and the sacrifices of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army were real.

....

In more than half a month, the entire Yangzhou Prefecture has been trapped in war.

Especially along the Yangtze River, from Yizhen to Jiangdu to Taixing and Tongzhou to the east, 200,000 troops fought fiercely and fought fiercely in this prefecture for days, with wars everywhere on the battlefield and beacons everywhere.

However, with the landing of the First Northern Expedition Army and the continuous expansion of the landing sites, the situation on the battlefield has improved.

The Qing army's cavalry did not dare to attack again. They gradually dared to run rampant from the previous Yi Niulu, and now they no longer dared to operate under the forces of less than a thousand cavalry.

But a battle that truly reversed the battlefield situation in the southern part of Yangzhou Prefecture was an encounter in Ningxiang Town.

The main general of the warring sides was Titicamu, the main general of the Qing cavalry.

Titicacum, Ula tribe, Saharcha clan, belongs to the Yellow Banner.

Before the war, Titicacum was the leader of the genitals, and his boss was the deputy governor of the Du Gunbashan.

This Bashan is the one that was lured out of the city by Jiang Quanyi when Taizhou Guard attacked Xinghua City before and was ambushed by Taizhou Guard halfway. Unfortunately, he was dragged by a war horse and "rescued voluntarily".

Bashan was captured and had a cheaper price for Titicacum. Although the official was still in charge of the leadership, in fact, power had already replaced Bashan and became the chief general of this 3,600 cavalry.

There were two generals in the Northern Expedition Army, one was Zu Dabi who led 2,000 cavalry south from Huaian City, and the other was General Chi Erhan Chi who "takes my sword".

At the order of Wu Zheng, Zu Dabi went south to Zhiji and joined forces with the reinforcements to open up a channel for reinforcements. However, Zu Dabi knew very well that just with his two thousand cavalry, he could not fight against the Eight Banners Cavalry that fled across Yangzhou.

Therefore, Zu Dabi chose to wander the day and walk on the day, go east to Qinggou, then turn south, and detour for three days, and pass through Guangyang Lake to the north side of Qingshuitan.

Unfortunately, the traces were found by the scouts of Titicacumu tribe.

After learning the news, Titicacum led his cavalry to bite Zu Dabi and chased him. When he arrived near Ningxiang, the distance between the two sides was less than ten miles.

It is completely meaningless to escape again at this time, because Taizhou is the south, and Taizhou has been occupied by the Qing army. If it is attacked on both sides, there will be no way out.

Zu Dabi had no choice but to turn around and face the battle.

Two thousand vs three thousand six, obviously there is not much chance of winning.

At this critical moment, a Northern Expedition Army musketeer suddenly appeared in the woods on the right side of the official road and fired side volleys at the Titicamou cavalry on the battlefield.

This is Chi Erhan’s five thousand prefecture guards, but why did Chi Erhan suddenly appear here?

Chi Erhan was originally ordered to station in the south bank as a reserve force for this battle.

After hearing that the young master was trapped in Huai'an, Chi Erhan was anxious and forced Zhang Mingzhen to use the navy to transport his troops to Taixing.

In other words, before Wu Zheng issued a retreat order to Chen Sheng and Fang Guoan's ministry, Chi Erhan's troops had already landed on the north shore, and he snatched the enemy cavalry to capture Taizhou.

But Chi Erhan's troops did not carry artillery, but were just an ordinary musketeer. So as soon as Chi Erhan landed, he ordered a march to the northwest, intending to seek a meeting with Chen Sheng before the enemy captured Jiangdu, and then decide on the next plan.

Unexpectedly, when Chi Erhan arrived near Wanshou Town east of Jiangdu, he heard that Jiangdu had fallen and was captured by the enemy. Chen Sheng and Fang Guoan led their troops to retreat Xiang Yizhen.

In this way, there is no possibility of meeting Chen Sheng.

But a lonely army could not go north.

In desperation, Chi Erhan had to turn around and retreat to the riverside in order to obtain supplies from the navy. In this way, Chi Erhan led his troops to occupy the Port Town.

These days, although a small group of enemy cavalry "come" near the port town, they were all repelled by Chi Erhan.

After several times, the enemy learned that there was a large Northern Expedition Army in the Kongan Town, so they stopped coming because their main goal was to cut off the retreat route of the Northern Expedition Army in the north and had no interest in a small town.

At that time, Chi Erhan saw that the enemy stopped attacking, and was worried about his young master's safety, so he couldn't wait. The First Army landed on the coast. After Chi Erhan handed over the Port Town, he quietly bypassed Taizhou and led his troops north. Fortunately, the Qing army in Yangzhou Prefecture was also insufficient and could not blockade the counties and villages. This led to Chi Erhan's troops suddenly appearing in Ningxiang Town, north of Taizhou.

This musket army was the veterans who were the deputy commander of Yanzhou Guard when Chi Erhan was the deputy commander of Yanzhou Guard. They had more than two years of shooting skills and extremely fast loading. At the moment when the cavalry of both sides began to hedge at eight miles apart, they carried out three rounds of volleys.

The cavalry charges head-on, and the target cross-section is very small, as small as the front of an infantryman. Once a person lies on the horse's back, it is difficult to aim. However, if you shoot from the side, especially in pre-ambush, you almost don't need to aim accurately, and the target is too large.

After three rounds of shooting, the attacked Qing cavalry had not yet reacted. The speed was too fast, mainly because when the cavalry on the right were shot and fell off the horse, the cavalry in the middle and left did not realize the attack at all. The huge sound of the cavalry of the two armies covered the sound of the shooting of the muskets.

It was not until the right wing became thinner and Titicacum was galloping in the middle that it discovered that the enemy was setting up an ambush and immediately ordered the entire army to detour to the left, but at this time, it was obvious that the situation on the battlefield could no longer be controlled.

Because Zu Dabi's cavalry had approached, he was right in front of him, and had no room for maneuver, so he started to do it directly.

But even so, Zu Dabi's two thousand cavalry could not completely defeat Titicacumu tribe.

If Chi Erhan had not ordered a unit to go around the enemy's rear while launching the raid, most of the Titicaca tribes would have escaped successfully.

Titicacum was not interested in fighting. When the moment he realized there were musketeers, Titicacum was like a frightened bird. The lessons of General Bashan made Titicacum deeply regret pursuing Zu Dabi's cavalry.
