. If the wind and drizzle are in the south of the Yangtze River, it will definitely cause countless literati and poets to whisper, but on the official roads of the capital and Tianjin, it will cause tens of thousands of people to murmur and curse in their hearts./

When the sun came out a few days ago, Nikan and Shifu thought that God had finally opened their eyes and did not need them to transport grain in the rain. Unexpectedly, before they could come out, the heavy rain fell again, not only flushed the dry road, but also the river water was soaring that it could not sail, so it had to still transport it step by step by carriage.

After four days of hard work, Xifu collected more than 2,000 large trucks in the capital and conscripted more than 10,000 civilians. Only then did he escort the 15,000 army. The grain transported this time was only 40,000 stones, and the army escorted by 40,000 grains would be more than 15,000 people. In addition, there were more than 10,000 civilians. On such a road, the loss on the road alone would reach at least 3,000,000 stones, and it would only take more than ten days of food to transport it to the army. It can be said that it was extremely unprofitable, but God forced Dorgon to do so.

It had been five days since Nikan was alert. This place was in the middle of the capital to Tianjin. The last time the food and grass was lost was not far ahead. Nikan could already see the small mountain village where Ai Xinga was stationed. At this time, the originally beautiful mountain village had turned into ashes, leaving only some broken walls. Although the Ming army did not ignite a house, the power of burning more than 5,000 grain trucks was too great, and naturally burned everything in the mountain village.

When walking through this mountain village, all the Qing army felt a little depressed. This small mountain village buried more than 3,000 of their companions, and only more than 1,000 people finally escaped. They braved the wind and rain today to escort the food and grass all thanks to the last failure. If Minggou dares to come again, they must avenge their companions last time.

That night, the Qing army camped in another mountain village five miles away from the original small mountain village. It was not that they didn't want to be further away from this mountain village, but that they really couldn't go further. If they missed this village, they would have to walk several miles to have a village. The convoy in front could be reached, while the convoy behind had to rush to the night. With such a weather road, it was very difficult to walk during the day, so who would rush to the road at night?

If you miss the village, everyone will sleep in the wild, which is even worse. On such a rainy day, no one has a house to live in the wild.

Tonight is undoubtedly a special day. In order to prevent the old things from happening again, Nikan specially sent several times the post, but was still worried. At night, Nikan dreamed that the Ming army rushed in several times and woke up from his sleep. However, Nikan was nervous all night, but nothing happened. Until dawn, the Ming army's attack did not come.

When Nikan breathed a sigh of relief, he felt disappointed again. He made many arrangements last night, but unfortunately he wasted manpower. What made the Qing army happy was that when he woke up the next day, the dark clouds had dispersed. Although he had not seen the sun yet, it was always a good thing not to rush in the rain.

After a little breakfast, the Qing army's grain team started to move forward with difficulty again. Although it did not rain, the mud was also difficult to move. Large vehicles were trapped in the mud and could not move forward. At this time, more than a dozen porters had to put down their loads and carry the shoulder bar to get the big truck trapped in the mud and move forward again. However, a big truck was often just made out and another big truck was trapped in again. The convoy was crawling slowly like a cow.

A sound of dazzling sound was heard. A five-man Qing army scout team searched several miles in front of the grain team. The horse's hooves stepped on the soft ground. Every step was splashing mud and water. The horse's legs were already covered in mud.

"Stop." At the front, a bearded man cleared the reins. The yelled by the regular horse. The four people behind made movements almost at the same time. They stopped together, showing their superb riding skills.

A big river appeared in front of them. There was an arched stone bridge on the river. If it was usually about 100 to 500 meters away from the water surface. At this time, the river water had risen to only two feet from the stone bridge. A yellow trace was left on the side of the stone bridge. It showed that the river water had covered the stone bridge when it was the highest. The river water usually made a rustling sound at this time. The waves rolled up the branches and the soil rolled endlessly. It made people feel frightened when they saw it.

There are no figures in the official road or in the river. This stone bridge seems to be a lonely sculpture standing alone. On the opposite side of the official road is farmland. At this time, the summer grain has been harvested. There are no crops when the farmland is in the farmland. Except for some field stems exposed, the entire farmland has become a vast ocean. The other is a few undulating hills. There are dense forests above the hills. The forests are lush and lush. There is a high vitality.

"Sir, why are there no bridge?"

The bearded did not answer immediately. Instead, he carefully observed the hills on the other side of the shore with his eyes. The rustling sounds sounded in the hills. In addition to the wind, there were also the sound of rain drops on the ground. Several crisp sounds of birds were heard in his ears. Everything seemed very normal.

But he always felt that the dense forest opposite seemed to be hiding countless murderous intents

Shaking his head, maybe he was worried that he had too much trouble. Last night, the whole country was full of soldiers. What's more, the prince personally received a 15,000-strong army escort. Even if Minggou wanted to make an idea, he had to consider whether he was seeking death.

Another sound of horse hooves sounded from behind. When the bearded man turned around, another team of scouts followed. The scouts were less than 200 steps away from them. The bearded man felt relieved and waved his hand: "Cross the bridge."

Walking from the mud to the stone bridge, the five Qing army scouts felt that they were much more brisk in their love. The stone bridge was only more than seventy steps. The five people quickly came down from the stone bridge, waved their beards, and the three Qing soldiers kicked off their horses, holding bows and arrows, and entered the dense forest with trembling searches. After a while, the three people came out of the dense forest: "Sir, everything is normal in the dense forest."

The bearded breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was really worried. He looked ahead. The scout team that followed him had searched for a section of hills in front, but there was no sign of it. The bearded and the leader of the squad nodded and continued to lead his four troops forward.

An hour later, the Qing army's grain transport team finally arrived at the stone bridge. At least a dozen scouts had searched the dense forest opposite the bridge. Nikan asked the grain convoy to cross the bridge with confidence. It took nearly half an hour to go on the stone bridge. When a grain truck in the middle stepped onto the stone bridge, it suddenly changed and countless black spots flew out of the dense forest and landed among the grain transport team.

"What is this?"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" A shrill voice shouted throughout the team, but it was too late.

"Boom."

"Boom."

"Boom."

In the short term, the team crossed the bridge was flooded with explosions like thunder. The grain transport team was filled with people, moaning, and the roar of people and horses resounded. The villagers threw down their burdens, some hugged but dared not move, and some ran around like headless flies.

"Stay steady, keep calm, the enemy is in the dense forest, shoot arrows! Shoot arrows!"

Although the Qing army was all elite, such a sudden attack left the Qing army with nowhere to hide, and there were heavy casualties. However, the elite soldiers picked out by the Qing army, the uninjured Qing army immediately launched a counterattack. Countless rains of arrows hit the hills next to them, and there were "por," sounds from time to time in the hills. I don't know whether the arrows hit the human body or the tree poles.

"Bang!" The gunshot started, and from time to time, a bloody flower suddenly appeared in Qing Jun's chest and fell to the ground.

"Roar, rush up and kill this Ming dog." Nikan waved his sword in his hand, and his face became angry. He kept walking in front of the team. As soon as the explosion started, several Goshhas blocked Nikan's surroundings with their bodies. The explosion of the grenade did not suffer any harm except that Nikan's ears buzzed. However, Goshhas surrounding him had suffered heavy casualties. Seeing the tragic scenes around the other food trucks made Nikan angry.

"Prince, danger." A Goshha hurriedly blocked Nikan's front again, "Swish!" A sharp voice sounded. The Goshha only felt a pain in his arm, turned his head and looked at it. A bloody hole appeared in his arm. Goshha endured the pain and shouted loudly: "Prince, hurry up, grain cart, hide behind the grain cart.

The rest of Goshha woke up as if he was dreaming, and hurriedly helped Nikan to hide among the two grain trucks. The Ming army's muskets finally couldn't take care of Nikan for the time being, but the sound of muskets in the dense forest kept ringing like an embroidery, and sometimes violent grenade explosions sounded.

"Kill!" The Qing army did not retreat, rushed forward in the face of countless bullet rains. After suffering huge casualties, the Qing army finally rushed into the forest and started a fierce battle. The sound of muskets and weapons attacks resounded throughout the dense forest. During the Qing army's desperate attack, the casualties of the Ming army began to increase.

"!!!" A fierce whistle sounded, and the Ming army that was fighting began to retreat in an orderly manner. Although the Qing army wanted to chase, the Qing army not only stopped chasing under the fierce firepower of the Ming army, but also watched the Ming army disappear into the dense forest.

Although all the Qing army was unable to get excited, the entire official road was in a mess, with corpses of their companions falling everywhere, and many grain trucks were piled up, and there were moans everywhere in the team crossing the bridge.

It took more than half an hour to count the losses of the Qing army, and 1,061 people died and 1,933 people were injured, of which more than 600 were seriously injured, hundreds of civilians died and injured, more than 1,000 fled, and dozens of grain trucks were dispersed. The food was not much loss, only a few hundred stones.
