The Qing army that came from the wild appeared on the shore and slowly gathered into a colorful carpet covering the wilderness on the south bank.

At this time, the Qing army who came to the shore looked out to the river and saw the Northern Ming army struggling to call for help on the water. They desperately rushed back to the dog, but were shot dead by Liang army on the warship with bows and arrows and bird guns.

After a while, all the figures of the ups and downs on the river surface were swallowed up by the river. Tens of thousands of Qing soldiers on the south bank saw this scene, and for a moment, they stood silent and stood there on the spot.

How could there be a large Liang army ship? How can we cross the river?

When the Qing soldiers saw flags waving on the north bank of the Huai River, they could vaguely see the soldiers of Xiao Yuan camp on the other side. Liang army ships were cruising and rushing on the river surface, and they immediately became turbulent.

The Qing army looked at the river and felt that they could not escape. An atmosphere of despair spread among the Qing army in an instant.

"Huang Tiandang!"

The Eight Banner nobles couldn't help but remember the experience of their cheap ancestors whom they had forced to recognize hundreds of years ago.

When Dorgon saw this scene, his face was as deep as water. He had been fighting in the north for many years. This invasion of the south was the first time he crossed the Huai River and invaded the hinterland of the Han people.

Although Dorgon learned from the intelligence that Liang army warships appeared on the Huai River, he was lucky and felt that the Qing army could break through the obstacles.

After all, the Qing army cleared the banks of the Huai River early, and there was no Liang army naval division nearby.

Dorgon did not expect that the Liang army's naval army could actually go from the Yangtze River to the Huai River. He thought it was just a few small boats, but he did not expect that they were all sea boats more than 20 or 30 meters.

This is a bit out of line for him.

At this moment, what he saw with his own eyes was stunned and could only sigh.

Liu Hui stood on the stairs of a three-masted blessed ship, looking at the Qing army gathered on the south bank with a thousand-mile mirror, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He put away the Qianli Mile Mileage Mile and suddenly waved: "Aim the artillery and shoot me on the south bank!"

With a command, the sides of more than ten lucky ships opened the twelve gun windows together, and the black muzzles were pushed out of the gun window.

The southern bank of Huai River was densely filled with Qing soldiers, and they could hit people at will, but many gunners still aimed at the densest places of the flags.

At this time, Dorgon on the shore was as deep as water. Wu Sangui glanced at him awkwardly and did not dare to come forward to say hello.

More than 100,000 Qing troops were blocked south of the Huai River. If you want to cross the river, you will definitely give priority to the Eight Banners, and finally the Northern Ming Army will be the turn.

This is obviously unacceptable to Guan Ningjun, who is used to leaving in advance.

Wu Sangui was afraid that Dorgon would arrange for him to cross the river at the end, so he ran away overnight.

As planned, he should have reached the north shore now, but he didn't expect that Liang Jun had made sufficient preparations, which made him blocked on the south shore, which made his situation quite embarrassing.

Suddenly, a few loud noises came from the river.

Before the Qing army on the shore could react, they saw the flames flashing and the smoke of gunpowder rising. Nearly a hundred black shells roaring at them.

"Protect the Regent!" He Luohui was shocked and roared anxiously.

"Bang!" The shells hit the crowd, and the flag-holding soldiers were torn to pieces by the shells, and blood and flesh splattered. The shells fell to the ground, splashing mud.

The war horse neighed, and Dorgon was thrown off the horse by the frightened horse. Several Qing troops rushed forward and protected Dorgon with their bodies.

After the shelling, the Qing army's broken limbs and bodies were everywhere on the shore, and the team was in a stir.

At this time, the personal soldiers dispersed, and Dorgon struggled to stand up from the ground, turned over without saying a word, and ran westward with a horse whip.

Seeing this, He Luohui and others looked at each other. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted and hurriedly called out: "Hurry up! Follow the Regent! Cross the river from the upstream!"

The Qing army on the shore immediately followed Dorgon and turned to the west and walked quickly.

Seeing this, Wu Sangui couldn't help but breathe and hurriedly called the army to run westward.

For a time, more than 100,000 people rushed westward to cross the Grand Canal and headed to the middle reaches of the Huai River to choose a place to cross the river.

Now Dorgon has no choice but to rush towards Gao Huan’s pre-set battle, hoping to make a desperate bet and break through Gao Huan’s obstacles and return to Shandong.

The lower reaches of the Huai River started in Huai'an. Because the water from the Yellow River is poured in, the river surface is very wide and can sail large ships.

The water volume in the upper reaches of the Huai River was much smaller, and the river channel was not as wide as the following. The Qing army had the opportunity to cross the river. However, the Yellow River in the Xuzhou section had a reduced amount of water breach in the upper reaches, and large ships could not be carried in the river, so there would be no intercepting it by the Liang army navy.

This was the last chance for the Qing army, but Gao Huan had already set up his formation and was waiting for them.

Dorgon realized that he might have wasted time, so he rushed to the Qing army again in a panic, avoiding Sizhou, guarded by Huang Degong, and came to Wuhe County, the middle reaches of the Huaihe River, and built a floating bridge here.

The Qing army built three floating bridges on the Huaihe River, and there was no Liang army to stop them throughout the whole process, but it made the Qing army even more uneasy!

At this time, the Qing soldiers were crowded across the river, and He Luohui couldn't help but remind: "Prince, the Qing warriors have been running around for days, and everyone is a little tired. Are you resting for a day and fighting against Gao Huan!"

Dorgon shook his head with a dark face, "The barbarians in the south will catch up immediately. I have wasted a few days. If I continue to wait, I can only make Gao Huan more prepared. Now we must go north immediately and break through Gao Huan's obstacle!"

He Luohui heard the words and stopped talking.

At this time, Dorgon glanced at the Qing army crossing the river, pulled the reins and ordered: "Let Wu Sangui burn the floating bridge!"

After speaking, Dorgon clamped his horse's belly and joined the army, entered Gao Huan's preset battlefield, and entered the dead land of the cavalry.

At this time, three miles away from the Qing army crossing the river, several Liang army scouts watched the Qing army crossing the Huai River and entered the encirclement. They saw the Qing army igniting a fire on the river and burning down the floating bridge.

"The Tartars are in trouble, go and report quickly!" The leading scout immediately gave an urgent order.

Soon, several cavalrymen rushed out of the woods and left quickly.

Sizhou City.

This place is closest to where the Qing army crossed the river, but Huang De had few soldiers and dared not act rashly.

After learning that the Qing army crossed the river, he had to set up a floating bridge in Sizhou and prepare a ship, and sent someone to inform Ding Qirui and let him go north at a speed.

At this time, Huang Degong stood on Sizhou City and looked south. The Qing army had already gone north. He had only 10,000 people and did not dare to follow him. He could only wait for the 30,000 troops from Yangzhou to come, and then joined forces to follow the Qing army north and attack Dorgon's Qing army.

Seeing that the Qing army had already crossed the river and had not seen Ding Qirui come over, he couldn't help but feel anxious, fearing that he would miss the opportunity to fight, so he asked Dorgon to rush out.

At this time, Huang Degong gritted his teeth and was about to wait. He went north first. General Huang Fei hurried to the city and shouted loudly: "Master General, the army of Ding has arrived!"

"Okay!" Huang Degong punched the city wall with a punch, then hurried down to the city impatiently, turned over and roared at his subordinates who had already packed up their luggage, "Sons! I will win this battle, follow me!"

After speaking, he rode his horse out of the north gate and galloped directly across the river from the floating bridge. Ten thousand people followed behind him, trotting across the river, chasing the tail of the Qing army.

Jiashan County.

Sixty thousand Liang troops followed the official road and were heading towards Wuhe County.

At this time, the army marched forward in a mighty manner. A team of scouts rushed to Yuan Zongdi against the crowd, turned over and dismounted, and reported on one knee: "Report! The Tartars crossed the river from Wuhe County!"

Yuan Zongdi held the horse's reins, and his excitement was beyond words. He looked at the many generals around him, and they all looked happy.

After being beaten by the Qing army for so long, it was finally their turn to take action.

"Okay! Dorgon himself got into his pocket! This battle will definitely win!" Yuan Zongdi laughed loudly, then changed his words and shouted: "Send the order and speed up the army, and don't let a Tartar escape!"

The military orders were passed, and tens of thousands of Liang soldiers immediately raised their speed together, their helmets were scattered, and their spears were undulating and moving towards the north. The scene was extremely spectacular.
