At dawn, Liang Jun had already built a floating bridge on the Yellow River.

At this time, the brigade of soldiers carried weapons and pushed a cart through the floating bridge to the north bank of the Yellow River.

As the large group of soldiers, especially the Red Horse Army, crossed the river, Gao Huan did not have to worry about being driven down from the Yellow River by the Qing cavalry.

"Father Lord! All the thousands of Qing troops at the ferry were captured and annihilated by us!" Liu Heita saw Gao Huan riding a horse across the river, hurried forward and clasped his fists, "General Wu has gone to capture Meng County, and he probably has also taken down!"

Gao Huan nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head and ordered, "Xu Heihu, Hao Yaoqi, you will lead the cavalry to attack. Regardless of whether Wu Ruyi took Meng County or not, you will go around this vassal and attack Huaiqing Prefecture City. Don't let Shen Zhixiang run away!"

When the two generals heard the order, they immediately clasped their fists, "I will accept the order!"

After speaking, the two men pulled the reins of the horses. Soon, the cavalry who had just crossed the river and were resting on the shore all turned over their horses, followed the two men's flags and galloped northward.

At this time, Gao Huan looked back at the ferry and said in a deep voice: "Military advisor, I will send orders to the craftsman to recruit ten thousand civilians and craftsmen to build a fort at the ferry. The defense direction of this fortress must be in the north. In other words, if we attack from the south, the fortress will be easily broken, but if the Qing army attacks from the north, it must pay a price!"

"I understand!" Song Xiance hurriedly bowed.

Huaiqing, Weihui, and Zhangde, formerly known as Hanoi County, were the northern gate of Luoyang.

There are mountains to the north and rivers to the south, and the terrain is narrow and long? As long as you occupy Taihang and Wangwu Mountains? When you rush down from a high place, you can drive the enemy troops in Hanoi into the Yellow River.

Gao Huan supported Sun Chuanting in Taihang and Wangwu development? The terrain of Hanoi County can be used to repeatedly lure the enemy into deeper? Then it will be annihilated and consume the strength of the Qing army.

Therefore, after taking over Hanoi this time, Gao Huan decided to run this place to avoid the war from falling to Luoyang.

At this time, Gao Huan turned his head and looked at Niu Jinxing who was following him, and smiled and said, "Niu Chenxiang can trust this vassal now!"

This time, the Liang army cooperated with Li Zicheng to launch a counterattack against the Qing army? Communication was needed between the Liang army and the Shun army. Niu Jinxing did not rush to return to Guanzhong, but stayed with Gao Huan and informed Li Zicheng of Liang's actions.

After all, the two sides often scheming each other before? What if Gao Huan let go of his mouth and Old Li is fooled? He plunged into Hedong and was defeated by the Qing army again? What should I do?

"Duke Liang was joking!" Niu Jinxing hurriedly explained: "I just wanted the two armies to cooperate better!"

Gao Huan just smiled slightly. He didn't mind Niu Jinxing? Stay by his side? Maybe he can still make Lao Li green? Dig Lao Li's corners and conquer Niu Jinxing.

...

Huaiqing Prefecture City.

In the early morning, Shen Zhixiang, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the rush of the soldiers outside the door knocking. He quickly got up and sat up from the bed, "What's the noise?"

"Gushan! Emergency military information!"

Shen Zhixiang raised his eyebrows, hurriedly criticized the robe, walked out of the room and asked, "What military situation, what happened?"

"Qi Bing Gushan. Beacon towers came from Mengxian. Liang's army had crossed the river from Mengjin!"

Shen Zhixiang was shocked. Huaiqing only had 10,000 people. Once the main force of the Liang army crossed the river, he could not withstand it.

The only way now is to take advantage of the fact that the Liang army has not yet established a stable foothold and there are not many soldiers crossing the river, and use the advantages of the horse army to drive the Liang army down the river.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhixiang immediately exclaimed, "Hurry up, click the cavalry and horses, and follow me to attack!"

Shen Zhixiang was from Liaodong, and his father Shen Shikui was a general of Mao Wenlong. After Shen Shikui's death, he broke with the Ming Dynasty and led the deputy generals nine, the eighteen generals, and the eighteen guerrillas. Thousands of soldiers and civilians surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. He was named Xushun Gong and led the Han army to Gushan Ezhen, the Zhengbai Banner of the Han army.

At this time, three thousand Han troops were stationed in the palace city, and four thousand Green Camp soldiers were stationed.

With the order of Shen Zhixiang, Zhengbai Banner in the city hurriedly put on his armor, took out his horse, and prepared to leave the city.

But at this moment, the alarm bell suddenly appeared on the top of the city, which shocked Shen Zhixiang, who was about to lead troops out of the city.

He hurried to the city wall, stepped onto the city wall and stood on the city.

Outside the city, a huge cavalry was rolling from the south.

When Shen Zhixiang heard the horse's hooves "da" like thunder, he saw the cavalry overwhelmed the sky and raised their rifles reflecting the cold light.

"The Liang army actually has a horse army of such a large scale!" Shen Zhixiang was stunned.

The group of Qing generals on the top of the city were also shocked.

At this time, seeing the Red Horse Army rushing to the city, Shen Zhixiang could only smash his fist on the city, knowing that his cavalry advantage could not be used, and the Liang army had already made great efforts to cross the river.

"Gushan! What should I do?" asked the sideline.

Shen Zhixiang could only say angrily: "First guard the city!"

After the Red Horse Army rushed to the city, the Liang army rushed to the city one after another. By the evening, the city was covered with flags and spears, and there was a murderous intent.

At this time, the Liang army gathered outside the city had more than 30,000 to 40,000 people. Shen Zhixiang couldn't help but feel a little panicked and hurriedly called, "Send a quick horse, Prince Su, to ask for help!"

A flag soldier bowed and hurried down to the city. Soon after, the gate of Dongcheng opened and a team of cavalry rushed to Taiming Mansion for help.

At this time, when the rescue cavalry left, Shen Zhixiang looked out of the city again, and saw Liang army beneath the city shouting and neighing, and the camp had been built. He couldn't help but say with a calm face: "Stay on the city and prepare defensive equipment!"

At this time, under the Liang army's big flag, Gao Huan rode on a horse and observed the city with a thousand-mile mirror.

"Report to the vassal lords, a team of Tartar cavalry, left the city from the east city and galloped eastward!" The scout rushed over and dismounted to report.

"Father Lord! Shen Zhixiang has sent cavalry to ask for help. Let's lock the city!" Xu Heihu said.

Gao Huan smiled slightly, "No hurry, take action during the day, Shen Zhixiang will immediately understand our intentions. He will definitely go out of the city to harass or lead his army to break through. We will wait until night to act."

Yuan Zongdi reminded: "The vassal lord! There are three thousand cavalry in the city. It is important to prevent the Qing army from attacking the camp at night."

Gao Huan nodded slightly, "After darkness, I will dig trenches and strengthen my vigilance. If the Qing army dares to leave the city, I will bomb them back."

That night, just as it got dark, the Liang soldiers quietly left the camp and began to dig trenches from the sight of the Qing army at the top of the city to block the Huaiqing Prefecture City.

The moon in the sky was covered by clouds, and its visibility was not high, which hid Liang Jun's actions very well.

At the fourth update, it was the time to sleep well. The city gate quietly opened. As Liang Jun expected, Shen Zhixiang really wanted to take advantage of the Liang Jun establishment camp to sneak attack the Liang Jun camp.

Compared to the Ming army when they were approached by troops, they just stayed in the city and did not dare to fight. The Qing army was indeed more fierce, and only three thousand people dared to touch a camp of tens of thousands of people.

However, Liang Jun was prepared for this.

At this time, the cavalry had just left the city and before they could approach the Liang army camp, thousands of rockets were fired in volleys, arrows pierced the night sky and illuminated the earth. Then there were three directions, and guns and cannons were fired at the same time. The Qing army suffered heavy losses and retreated to the city in panic.

The next morning, just dawn, Shen Zhixiang was invited to the top of the city.

"Gushan! Look!" A flag soldier pointed outside the city.

Shen Zhixiang looked down at the city and his face turned pale. After a night, three trenches and low walls had appeared under the city, which had surrounded the city and could not even fly out.

"Not good!" Shen Zhixiang punched the wall, "It's locking the city! Liang's army wants to siege the city and fight for help!"

...

Daming Mansion.

Qing army camp.

Gao Huan set up a Yellow River defense line and stationed heavy troops to defend the city on the south bank.

The Qing soldiers on the north bank naturally also needed to station large troops to monitor the Liang army on the south bank.

If the Qing army did not station troops, the Liang army, which was defending the south bank, could cross the Yellow River and harass Hebei and Shandong at any time.

Therefore, the Qing army also had a line of defense on the north bank of the Yellow River to defend against the harassment of the Liang army.

This line of defense starts from Huaiqing in the west and reaches Haizhou in the east.

The eastern section is in Shandong and the western section is in Henan. In order to facilitate coordination, the center of the defense line is in Daming Prefecture, Hebei in the middle.

This place takes into account both the east and west. In the middle of the defense line, Prince Haoge of the Qing Dynasty stationed here.

Since the failure to compete for the throne, Haoge has been very depressed. Now he is watching Dorgon and Dodo make military achievements in Hedong, and he can only guard the Yellow River and stare at Liang Jun on the other side, and he is very anxious.

Dorgon's faction continued to grow after the War in Hedong, but after entering the pass, he made no achievements. Thinking that he could not perform his skills, Haoge felt very frustrated.

At this time, he was drinking a silence in the tent. The curtain was suddenly lifted up. Obai came into the tent and reported anxiously, "Prince! Gao Huan crossed the river from Mengjin!"

"Bang!" Haoge stood up and smashed the wine bowl to the ground when he heard the words, "Okay! It's finally my turn!"
