The Ming army had already captured Chuzhou and the Tianchang southwest of Fengyang.

Dorgon was sober that he might have lost again this time. This "re-" made Dorgon a little helpless. From the moment he met the little Nan barbarian outside Taizhou City three years ago, Dorgon felt a sense of fate in his heart.

Thirty Iron Armored Heavy Cavalry fought against Thirty Musketeers without armor. Although they won, they lost eleven cavalry, seven dead, three serious injuries and one minor injury.

Such war losses made Dorgon clearly realize that musketeers were the key to deciding victory or defeat on the battlefield in the future.

Therefore, Dorgon has tried his best to form a new army in the past three years, in order to fight against this little Nan barbarian.

Even Dorgon married Chen Zhiyuan to his only daughter. Even if he didn't trust Chen Zhiyuan in his heart, he was the same in order to capture Chen Zhiyuan's heart, because Chen Zhiyuan was the closest person to Wu Zheng and the only person who could rely on to train musket soldiers for himself.

Yugong can still move mountains, and Dorgon firmly believes that he will definitely bring Shen Zhiyuan's heart to his own side.

Unfortunately, there is not enough time.

Looking at the black-lighted house beam, Dorgon sighed "Heroes' Down" and did not hate Bumubutai, Fulin, the clans who were in trouble, nor did he hate the Han ministers at both ends of the court. He only hated God, why not give him five more years? No, maybe three years is enough, no, one year, as long as the Huai'an City is broken and the two guards annihilated, Wu Zheng would no longer have the power to fight the Northern Expedition, and at least within three years, he would be unable to fight the Northern Expedition.

God’s will is not a crime of war!

Dorgon was not worried that the Ming army in Yixing Dynasty could break through Fengyang Mansion. The combat power of the Ming army was not within his vision. At the same time, Dorgon believed more that Ajige would definitely defend Fengyang when it was concerned about the fundamental interests of his own tribe. The 90,000 troops should be safe.

Looking back, thinking of Haizhou, Dorgon couldn't help but let out a soft sneer. Even if Haizhou is lost, the Northern Expedition Army will be the first to face Andongwei. There are 12,000 Han Eight Banners Army there. If you want to fight the Northern Expedition, it is a fool! Dorgon also believes that the court can abandon itself like throwing away a piece of garbage, but once the Northern Expedition Army enters the territory of Shandong, it will definitely block it.

Dorgon muttered again, not knowing whether he was sighing or talking to himself.

Xuzhou, Xuzhou is afraid it will not be able to defend it anymore. Dorgon understood from the time he learned that Xinghua had fallen, that all his deployments had turned into ashes from that moment on.

Xinghua is located in the central part of Yangzhou, which is equivalent to a reversal of the battlefield situation, encirclement, and the Qing army, which divided the two guards of the Northern Expedition Army, was instantly reversed and was surrounded.

Although the outcome still requires swords to be used, the battlefield situation affects morale and involves supply.

Once the reinforcements of the Northern Expedition Army met with the Xinghua Northern Expedition Army, Yangzhou would no longer be able to stop the Qing army from heading north to Huai'an.

In other words, it is only a matter of time before the Northern Expedition Army marched into Xuzhou and attacked Xuzhou in general.

If Ajige could obey his orders and return to Xuzhou, then Xuzhou could be guaranteed, but now... everything is too late.

It was only a matter of time before the defence line of Luliang Mountain was lost. The Northern Expedition Army that received the supplies was not something that could be stopped by the crossbows and swordsmen. More than 10,000 defenders were not worth mentioning for Dorgon.

Yes, I am alive soon, no matter how turbid waves are surging after death?

The last thing Dorgon thought of was Chen Zhiyuan.

Thinking of this person, Dorgon's face became very strange. In the past two years, he had too many opportunities to kill him, but in the end he survived to this day.

It’s definitely not because Chen Zhiyuan is his son-in-law, it’s definitely not! Dorgon even nodded inadvertently for this to prove that he was right.

I don’t kill him because I…I can’t bear to bear it?!

Ruthless, ambition, useless means, and unruly... like a self twenty years ago.

Can you kill yourself?

No. Dorgon shook his head vigorously. It was not this reason, at least, it was not all this reason.

There is something on this kid whom he longs for but cannot do. He may have it twenty years ago, but later he lost it...that is, righteousness!

Although I can't get there, my heart yearns for it.

Rolling all the way from the crowd of intrigues, no one will hold on to this word. Dorgon sighed again, otherwise he would have died long ago and was killed by his relatives like a livestock.

Huang Taiji forced his mother to death, but he was still loyal to him. When he died, he had to be loyal to his incompetent son.

Thinking of the Fulin who was trembling and trembling when he heard that Shandong was in chaos, he cried and shouted to go back to Shangjing. Dorgon was so angry that he came to the scene.

Is there any Liu Adu who has devastated Shu Han?

Dorgon shook his head, no longer thinking about Fulin, and focused his thoughts on Chen Zhiyuan again.

Don’t blame me, I won’t kill you, but you will have to die after all!

Three years later, let the grown-up prince kill you to establish his authority. Don’t blame me for being cruel, this is your destiny.

Thinking of this, Dorgon closed his eyes with satisfaction, Wu Zheng, don’t let me down, three days, I will wait for you here for three days.

....

Fortunately, Wu Zheng did not disappoint Dorgon.

In fact, Wu Zheng himself didn't know why he suddenly felt a strong feeling.

Wu Zheng only took one day to the enemy's defense line on Luliang Mountain.

It was not that the enemy defenders were vulnerable, but that the reinforcements of the first army arrived.

This is not fast. It was because Song An had received reinforcements and had arrived in Huai'an, so he had the courage to leave Qinghebei without permission.

The commander of the reinforcements was Zhang Guowei, two ministers of the Ministry of War who almost died in the Shaoxing Yiting four years ago, are now at the right governor under the command of Wu Zheng.

Zhang Guowei left Hangzhou Prefecture and personally led the army to reinforce, not just to worry about Wu's safety, but to have big trouble in Jiangnan.

The previous requisition of foreign-buying materials hoarded by two major ports triggered a huge storm. Wei Kuangguo, the godfather of the Fan who had good personal relationships with Wu, represented the major Fan countries, officially submitted a note to the General's Mansion, claiming that if a suitable statement was not given, the General's Mansion's move would be regarded as declaring war with various countries.

This is a bare-fruit threat and a little bluffing. In a short period of time, only Hongmao and England are the ones who can truly threaten the General's Mansion. One is 6,000 troops and more than 1,000 warships in the East Banner, and the other is nearly 1,000 warships in the waters of Malacca.

The rest is nothing more than trying to take advantage of the chaos.

But this is no longer something that Zhang, Xiong, Mo and others can take on. Zhang Guowei is here, in addition to worrying about Wu Zheng's safety, he just wants to ask Wu Zheng to have a solution.

It was precisely because of the arrival of the new force and the arrival of dozens of six-pound field artillery that the Qing army's defense line in Luliangshan was stabbed by the Northern Expedition Army like a sharp knife, and it was easily pierced in one day.
