Ajige in Ruyang City was really shocked.

He was jumping and cursing, and it was right. The Qing army went south in a large-scale manner. The news that the Qing court declared war on Jianxing Dynasty had just been sent to Ajige, which directly disrupted Ajige's counterattack mall plan.

What Ajig needs to think about now is not how to counterattack the mall, but how to deal with attacks in three directions.

Unfortunately, Ruyang City has obviously lost its ability to mobilize after Sun Kewang joined the Yongli Dynasty.

Ajige is a guest when he first came, but he has not had Sun Kewang for more than a year.

Ajige had to use the army to recruit troops and raise military rations by tough means, but doing so would be like drinking a dove to quench thirst.

After shrinking its troops to Ruyang, both sides chose Zhenyang, who had been the first battlefield for the first time, at the Daxi Army.

Bai Wenxuan, Ma Weixing led his army to attack by land from Tongzhongdian in the south, and Li Dingguo led his troops to force the crossing of Shenshui.

In this battle, Ajige used 6,000 cavalry to intercept Bai Wenxuan, Ma Weixing left, and then used heavy troops to deploy Shenshui North Bank. The renderings were to defeat Bai Wenxuan first with a small number of cavalry and Ma Weixing left, and then the cavalry attacked Li Dingguo's army sideways, and cooperated with the main force on the north bank to attack Li Dingguo.

However, Ajige ignored Sun Kewang's previous warning, and it was right. Sun Kewang had already joined Yongli. How could Ajige care about his warning again?

Li Dingguo was actually the same as Ajige thought, that was that the main force lured the enemy to attack, and the partial army was the surprise weapon for breakthrough.

Li Dingguo gave most of the war horses and elephants to Bai Wenxuan and Ma Weixing, and the main force he led was only the vanguard equipped with thousands of cavalry to confuse the enemy.

Therefore, south of Zhenyang, the cavalry on both sides fought fiercely for a whole day. In the end, the Qing cavalry was defeated by the Daxi Army, and the remnants retreated northward. Bai Wenxuan, Ma Weixing led his army to Zhenyang to quickly intersperse.

After Ajige learned that the left side had lost, he had to order the Zhenyang defenders to retreat, so Li Dingguo led the main force to cross the river smoothly.

But Ajige asked a small town of Sanlipu dozens of miles away from Ruyang to deploy, waiting for it...

After Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan and Ma Weixing successfully met, they took advantage of the power of great victory and prepared to attack Yangcheng in one fell swoop, and suffered stubborn resistance from the Qing army in Sanlitpu.

Not just resistance, Ajige mobilized 10,000 cavalry and launched an assault on the Western Army from the west.

Bai Wenxuan, after the fierce battle of the cavalry led by Ma Weixing the day before, the casualties were not small, and the marching was a little tired. At this time, he barely fought, but was defeated by the enemy cavalry with superior forces, and all the war elephant soldiers were killed.

In this way, Li Dingguo, who was fighting against the Qing army head-on, was attacked from the west. He knew that things could not be done, so he could only lead his army to retreat and prepare to retreat to Zhenyang City to resist, and then try to counterattack after rest.

But if the cavalry of the Daxi Army was defeated, how could it be possible to easily withdraw from Zhenyang City under the threat of the cavalry?

Seeing the enemy infantry on the front began to launch a strong attack and counterattack, and the situation was extremely critical, the Jianyang Guard successfully defeated the three thousand defenders deployed by Ajige in Mengjiazhuang on the west bank of the Honghe River and appeared on the east side of Ruyang City.

This news forced Ajig to order the army that had already gained the battlefield advantage to voluntarily withdraw to the city and prepare to defend the city.

....

The Great Western Army, Jianyang Guard, and Zuoying finally met outside Ruyang City.

But after Sun Kewang, the city of Ruyang, which was successively consolidated by Ajige, could not be easily broken?

Ruyang is the capital of Runing Prefecture. Not only is the city high and the walls thick, but the defenders' forces are even more powerful than the attacking side.

In addition, Azig personally calmed the city, morale could not collapse at all.

After repeated discussions by Li Dingguo, the three men decided not to attack and only surrounded him. Therefore, Bai Wenxuan, Ma Weixing led his troops to the west and Zuoying detours eastward, and launched a siege.

And at this time, something bad happened.

In Macheng, Zhu Youlang, who received the news that the three armies surrounded Ruyang City, was overjoyed.

Obviously Zhu Youlang was excited, while Sun Kewang moved his heart of power and interests.

"Your Majesty...Mr. Rong said something that shouldn't be said..."

Everyone knows that they shouldn't say it, but they still say that it's basically slander.

There is a way to say things, right and wrong must be right and wrong.

But Zhu Youlang didn't care about slander, he cared about the throne.

"The King of Qin has something to say." Zhu Youlang is actually not a bad person, and he even has the intention to revive.

Delegating power to Li Dingguo means that he still has some mind.

But his utilitarianism is too strong, and the geese are still flying in the sky, so they think they will steam or brais.

If the ministers around him are loyal ministers, then Zhu Youlang may be a wise ruler, but if there are villains around him, then Zhu Youlang is a stubborn ruler.

Because people with strong utilitarianism will have weak ears and too many things to do in their hearts, they will often be unstable and worry about gains and losses.

Sun Kewang smiled and said, "Once Ruyang is recovered, no matter whether Ajige's troops are defeated or annihilated, as long as he withdraws from Henan, there will be no enemy in the Henan area to compete with our army... Since that's the case, why don't Your Majesty fight in person immediately?"

"Personal expedition?" Zhu Youlang was stunned when he heard this. He went north from Wuchang just to think about his expedition.

But north of Macheng, Sun Kewang defeated the imperial guards known as the Tiger Ben, and he was captured.

This made Zhu Youlang deeply feel the impermanence of the battlefield. At this time, he really had no idea of ​​personally expeditioning.

Ke Sun Kewang said: "As long as Ajige retreats, His Majesty will personally conquer Henan, which will be a breeze... Such a greedy great achievements will only allow His Majesty to live. If the King of Jin really takes over it... Your Majesty imagines that the King of Jin's reputation and power have long been so powerful. If he has achieved such achievements, he may be..."

Sun Kewang didn't say anything, but Zhu Youlang had already understood it.

Yes, now in the court, everything is said to be the only one in Li Dingguo. Under the rule, the people only know that the King of Jin but not the Emperor. Zhu Youlang has already developed a fear. Now, as Sun Kewang said, once the regaining Henan will be rewarded with Li Dingguo, then... the great achievements will shock the master. No, it should be that the great achievements will defeat the master!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youlang could no longer sit still, "The King of Qin thought... this matter is feasible?"

When Sun Kewang heard that there was a door, he smiled and said, "What else is your Majesty worried about? Now Ruyang has been surrounded by our army and the Northern Expedition Army. Even if Ajige leaves the city to fight, he must first encircle through the army... Besides, Your Majesty must not forget that Wu Sangui, the King of Pingxi, has agreed to surrender to Your Majesty. Is there any enemy around Henan that can fight with our army? However, I am thinking that except for Your Majesty's Imperial Army and my troops, Macheng has not had much total strength... The emperor personally led the expedition, the greater the power, the greater the power..."

Zhu Youlang asked anxiously, "What should I do according to the Qin King?"

"Or why don't you send someone to inform Wu Sangui and ask him to lead his army to meet... Even if it's just a vanguard or a partial division, there will be a lot more. In this way, there will be momentum in front of the King of Jin, right?"

Zhu Youlang thought about it and stood up suddenly and shouted: "Just do as you say to me... I will send you the oral order to raise the entire city of troops, and I will lead the imperial army in person!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Sun Kewang's bowing posture this time was quite standard.
