?The population of the capital exceeds one million, and the daily consumption of materials is enough to pile up into a mountain. The net is obviously unable to supply it based on the surrounding area of ​​the capital alone. Therefore, the Grand Canal of the Beijing-Hangzhou City has become the artery of the capital, and fresh blood is transported to the capital through the canal every day.

Since the Tartars looted Tongzhou at the end of last year, the major north-south passages have been completely cut off, and Beijing has suddenly fallen into extreme poverty. Grain prices, oil prices, and vegetable prices have risen sharply, while gold, silver, calligraphy, paintings, antiques and other items have fallen sharply.

The turmoil was when a group of people became rich. Rich merchants from all over the south of the Yangtze River and Jingzhou merchants were moved when they heard the news. They organized sea boats to go to the sea to Tianjin Wei to enter the port, and then transported the materials to the capital in exchange for gold, silver, calligraphy, paintings, antiques and other materials to make huge profits.

Those who have sea boats will naturally have the advantage and earn a lot of antimony pot, which will make others envious.

As a huge group, Shanxi merchants occupy an important position in northern China and usually do some business that is licking blood on the edge. Of course, they are reluctant to give up this business opportunity and risk their lives to transport materials to the capital.

Food is the most precious in troubled times, and transporting grain has become the first choice for Shanxi merchants. However, last year, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong had a severe drought, and grain was in short supply, so Shanxi merchants chose to buy grain in Jiangnan. Jingzhou, Nanyang and other places, but Shanxi merchants were very sensible and did not consider it at all. They knew that in the area controlled by Lin Chunhong, they could not buy a piece of grain.

Among the Shanxi merchant group, Wang Dengku's strength was second only to Fan Yongdou, so he naturally refused to miss this opportunity and sent his family member Wang Yunxi to Jiangnan to buy grain.

Wang Yunxi was quite smooth in Jiangnan. He purchased a large amount of grain and daily necessities and transported them to Yangzhou by ship.

After arriving in Yangzhou, Wang Yunxi learned that Jingzhou had blocked all the canals north of Yangzhou and prohibited any other ships from passing.

Wang Yunxi was so angry that he cursed. Originally, according to Wang Yunxi's plan, he would transport it along the canal to Jining, then turn to land, bypass the Shandong area, and arrive at Beijing along the Taihang Mountains. Now that the passage north of Yangzhou is not allowed, the cost will rise to an unbearable level.

In desperation, Wang Yunxi had to sell the purchased materials in Yangzhou and return to Shanxi alone.

Along the way, Wang Yunxi kept cursing Lin Chunhong, and even Zhou Feng, Cui Yu and Chen Tianyao were not spared and were scolded as ** women.

No matter how much he scolded, Wang Yunxi was a meticulous person, constantly wondering why Jingzhou wanted to block the canal.

Wang Yunxi felt that even if the military supplies and food in Jingzhou needed to occupy part of the transportation capacity of the canal, it would not fill the canal. The purpose of blocking the canal was very likely to allow Jingzhou merchants to monopolize the benefits of shipping.

However, this reason is untenable. After all, Jingzhou has not stopped merchants from transporting goods to Tianjin by sea.

There must be something strange about this!

Driven by curiosity, Wang Yunxi whipped along the canal and checked all the way. However, Wang Yunxi ran to Jining and found nothing strange except seeing the endless baggage ships.

Wang Yunxi was unwilling to give up and ran to Liaocheng again. However, no abnormalities were found in Liaocheng. Wang Yunxi was very disappointed and headed west unhappy, preparing to cross the Taihang Mountains and return to Shanxi.

But he knew that if he wanted to plant flowers but didn't grow, and if he didn't want to plant willows and willows, Wang Yunxi suddenly found that the army along the way could not see the end at first sight and was marching northward. Looking at the flag, it was clearly the Jingzhou army.

Wang Yunxi was about to get closer and see clearly, but was immediately expelled by Ranger.

Until now, he finally understood that Jingzhou blocked the canal to conceal the army's actions!

The purpose of the army is self-evident, and it must be to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Tartars.

Wang Yunxi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. The Tartars may not have found traces of this army. If they catch up and inform the Tartars, wouldn't it make the master respect the Tartars and gradually overshadow Fan Yongdou?

Thinking of this, Wang Yunxi stopped hesitating and immediately slapped his horse to the northeast, staring at Dezhou and galloped...

This army was the Central Plains Army led by Lin Chunyi, with its command of the three armies of Tiger Furious, Shenwei and Xuanwu. It had more than 60,000 troops. After Lin Chunhong was ordered by the Ministry of War to retract Lin Chunyi back to Fangcheng, he did not stay in Nanyang, but instead headed south to Hankou and arrived in Yangzhou through the Yangtze River.

Later, after Yuetuo crossed the canal, Lin Chunhong ordered Lin Chunyi to go north and blocked the canal to prevent the news from leaving.

After Lin Chunyi led his army to Liaocheng, he abandoned his boat and landed, turned west, and circled a large circle in order to avoid the Tatars' reconnaissance cavalry. Now he is just about to reach Wei County, and he is still sixty or seventy miles away from the planned assembly place Zaoqiang County.

The 60,000 army, in cooperation with Tian Chuyun's 40,000 army, was enough to surround Dorgon. This was not the last straw that broke the camel's back, it could be called a giant elephant that broke the camel's back!

From Liaocheng to Guanxian, and then to Weixian, it was more than 200 miles. In the past few days, the Central Plains Army advanced 80 miles in one day. Although the soldiers could bear this intensity of the marching, they were extremely tired. The soldiers wanted to lie down on the ground immediately and sleep on him for a few days and nights.

However, the officers kept urging themselves to boost morale and let the soldiers speed up and not fall behind.

The shield car and thunderbolt cannon are all delivered to the reserve team, and all the soldiers move forward lightly, with the destination right in front of them!

As long as they arrive in Zaoqiang County, Dorgon will be officially surrounded. At that time, they will want to make Dorgon round or flat, but are they the final decision?

The spring in the northern plains is dry, windy, and easy to stir up wind and sand. Even thousands of cavalry running desperately, it even rolled up thick sand and dust, causing a small sandstorm to occur within more than ten miles north of Gucheng County.

"kill……"

In the wilderness, the shouts of killing were shaking the sky and the earth. More than 6,000 soldiers of the Third Army of the Shenji Legion lined up into a loose inverted triangle formation, launching a decisive attack on Dorgon's vanguard.

Are you wrong! Infantry attacking cavalry?

That's right, it was the infantry that took the initiative to launch the attack!

The Third Army used the First Battalion as the Central Army, the Second Battalion and the Third Battalion as the two wings of the front and left and right. The attack surface was three miles wide and four miles deep. It was wrapped up towards the cavalry without fear of death.

They had to launch an attack, because if the Tatar cavalry were allowed to circumnavigate and wait for the subsequent Tartar troops to arrive, they would probably not be able to hold on for even half an hour and would be completely in chaos.

With such a loose formation, there is little hope of winning in front of more than 3,000 vanguard cavalry. The only thing they can do is to use their lives and blood to mobilize the army for Tian Chuyun to gain time.

Dorgon only stayed for one and a half days, and Lin Chunyi's army was still sixty miles away from Zaoqiang!

After receiving Wang Xiyun's report, Dorgon almost fell to the ground in shock. Abatai and Boluo were also dissatisfied with their faces and cursed: "The doggy-good Xiaosan Lin is too sinister and too vicious. He wants to swallow us all in one bite!"

Dorgon was so anxious that his face was sweating, his hands and feet were shaking, and he issued a military order in a trembling tone: "Stop filling the canal immediately, everyone should be prepared in one hour! If you dare to delay, kill them without any reservation!"

Abatai suddenly shivered in his heart and asked, "Where are the prisoners and wealth?"

Dorgon gritted his teeth and seemed to have used all his life to make a decision: "Don't all!"

Abatai collapsed to the ground all of his strength as if he had been exhausted, and he cried and said, "The army of Yuetuo has no hope of breaking through, and the people and wealth he has worked hard to plunder must be discarded... What kind of evil is this for the cause..."

Dorgon's heart was bleeding, but he could not indulge in venting his heart like Abatai. He endured his inner grief and continued to order: "Send Ajige to break off contact with Tian Chuyun, and the army quickly headed westward around Tian Chuyun and headed north!"

The messenger came out, and Dorgon stared at Boluo again and ordered: "You lead the elite cavalry in our unit to take the lead, explore the forces of the Southern Barbarians along the way, build bridges across the river, and pave the way for the subsequent army. Be careful, don't fight against the enemy! Go ahead, hurry up, leave us with less time!"

...

The more than 3,000 cavalry encountered by the Third Army of the Shenji Legion were Boluo's soldiers.

Fortunately, Tian Chuyun was considerate and was afraid that Lin Chunyi would retreat in advance before Zaoqiang. While he led his army to squeeze southward, he ordered the Third Army of the Shenji Legion to quietly go west, and without knowing it, he was stationed at Zaoqiang. Now, it finally came in handy.

After discovering the Third Army of the Shenji Legion, Boluo followed Dorgon's military order and immediately sent someone to report to the subsequent army. At the same time, he ordered the entire army to go west and avoid the Third Army.

Boluo acted quickly in his own cavalry and did not take the Third Army's blockade seriously. However, this was obviously fatal. Just when he was a little stunned, the Third Army took the initiative to launch an attack.

The third army's attack was very fast, and they could see the other party's eyes clearly in a blink of an eye. Boro was shocked and immediately ordered the entire army to go west.

However, it was too late. When Boro moved forward, he collided with the right wing of the Third Army and began to fight face to face.

"Run..."

The Tartar cavalry howled and penetrated straight into the right wing of the Third Army in a very refined formation. They stepped on their iron hooves and waved their sabers, overturning the soldiers of Jingzhou Army to the ground, and flowing out a bloody road.

The loose formation of the Third Army made Boro quite comfortable to charge. However, as he rushed, Boro suddenly discovered that the ten-man battle group that emerged from time to time was constantly delaying the speed of the cavalry's impact. Moreover, the deeper the attack, the army became thicker and thicker, and the density of the troops became larger and larger!

It turned out that in the depths of the right wing of the Third Army, troops were constantly rushing towards the Boluo cavalry, blocking the Boluo army's journey westward.

What made Boro even more frightened was that the original central army quickly moved westward, and after inserting into the right wing, the army's depth doubled. Moreover, the original left wing turned around and followed his horse's butt to chase him!

Boro hurriedly led his army to attack the thin area of ​​the Third Army, constantly chopping the Third Army soldiers to the ground, rushing out a bloody road, and stopping again on the southeast side of the Third Army.

In one attack, the Boro Knights suffered less than 70 casualties, while the soldiers of the Third Army paid the price of more than 300 casualties!

A traitor betrayed, but the great warriors had to spend thousands of lives to make up for the lack of tactics!

Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! Kneel and beg for sharing
