According to Dorgon's original idea, as long as he could return to Shengjing City, he could first deal with Jiergalang, and then lead the entire Qing army to fight the Ming army.

Even if Zhu Cixuan and British Duke Zhang Shize join forces, Dorgon will be confident that he can win the battle.

But now, Dorgon suddenly realized one thing, that is, he might have underestimated Zhu Cilang's determination.

Zhu Cixuan followed up so cruelly and bit the Qing army. Maybe he had the intention to completely capture the Qing army!

"Hmph, do you really think that just 30,000 cavalry can eat me, the main force of the Qing Dynasty? It's ridiculous!"

With this mood, Dorgon ushered in another day.

Dorgon’s plan is very simple, that is, to set up an ambush!

There is a special point in setting up an ambush in places. Dorgon carefully selected a place called Da Slope.

The so-called large slope is, as the name suggests, a small hilly area with large slopes.

The water and grass are lush here, and rivers pass by it, which is very suitable for infantry ambushing and extremely restraining cavalry operations.

"Send 20,000 troops to ambush here, and immediately fight out after the Ming army passes by, cutting off their retreat."

"At that time, I will naturally lead the army to turn around and cover up the killing. Be sure to let the Ming army know what will happen to anger our Qing Dynasty!"

After listening to Dorgon's order, the Qing generals present also cheered up.

Ajige smiled and said, "These Ming people followed them like wild dogs along the way, and we didn't want to give up, so it's time to knock off their teeth!"

Badali was even more ready to beat his hands and smiled: "Prince Ying is right. I also want to use the head of a Ming general to make a wine glass!"

As the saying goes, the clay man is also very angry. These Qing generals fought so frustratedly that they finally had a chance to retaliate against the Ming army. How could they let go?

Everyone was in the best state, ready to wait for the Ming army to fall into the trap.

Time passed minute by minute.

Zhu Cilang rode his horse slowly and walked forward surrounded by many Ming cavalry.

Li Dingguo smiled and pointed ahead: "Please look at your highness. You will enter the hilly area ahead after about twenty miles. By the way, the name given here by the locals is quite interesting, it is called the Big Slope."

"Big slope?" Zhu Cixuan couldn't help laughing as he heard this title: "It's really interesting..."

After finishing laughing, Zhu Cixuan said to Li Dingguo: "Old Li, do you think there will be an ambush from the Qing Dynasty in front of you?"

Li Dingguo paused and said, "It is indeed not ruled out this possibility. Otherwise, I would send a scout team to investigate?"

Zhu Cixuan touched his chin and thought for a moment, and smiled and said, "I won't go anymore, I'll send the order. Let's stop five miles in front of this big slope. Everyone gets off the horse and eat something."

Li Dingguo was a little surprised: "Your Highness, we can actually use the scout team to investigate."

Zhu Ciyang nodded and smiled, "Yes, but in that case, wouldn't the Qing army know that we discovered their intentions?"

Li Dingguo was silent for a moment and said, "But what if there was no ambush there?"

Zhu Cixuan shrugged and said, "That's just to let the soldiers take a nap."

...

Dorgon turned around many times and looked at the large slope gradually fading away.

"Why did it take so long?" Dorgon couldn't help but talk to himself.

According to the previous plan, Dorgon was leading the main force of the Qing army to pretend to continue to move south quickly.

But the problem is that this "fake" is about to come true...

At present, the main force led by Dorgon has been several miles away from the ambush on the big slope. If the distance is longer, the war will break out and the main force of the Qing army will not have time to return to the army to form an encirclement with the ambushing troops.

Thinking of this, Dorgon couldn't help but become a little impatient and said, "Go and send someone to ask Prince Ying, what's going on!"

Prince Azige this time was the chief general responsible for the ambush.

Ajige also wanted to avenge his previous shame, so he lay in the grass with his butt sticking out, enduring the bites of mosquitoes, and staring at Ming Jun who was only a few miles away.

"How come they stopped, damn things?" Ajig grabbed the big bag that was bitten out of some bug on his cheek, and cursed angrily.

Badali lay beside Ajige. The native Mongolian man was obviously more adaptable to the environment and said softly: "Prince Ying, do you tell me that the army has seen through Prince Rui's plan?"

Ajige pondered for a while and said, "Impossible? If it is really discovered, the Ming army will at least send a group of scouts to investigate our hills. But look, their scouts are coming and going on the road below, and there is no sign of coming up."

When Badali thought about it, it seemed that this was true.

Looking at the Ming army scouts passing by on the road under the hills, Badali couldn't help but hold the sabre on his waist tightly.

It is obvious that these guys can be shot into sieve with one order...

Forget it, a small impatience will cause trouble!

...

The situation on Ajige was soon reported to Dorgon.

"What, the Ming army suddenly stayed and rested in front of the big slope?" When Dorgon heard the news, he suddenly felt a very bad premonition in his heart.

After a while, Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief and said gritting his teeth: "Ajige, this idiot, has been fooled by Zhu Cilang, but I don't know! I'll send the order and let him lead his army to retreat immediately!"

Around Dorgon, many Qing generals were shocked.

Someone couldn't help but say, "Prince Rui, didn't Prince Ying say that the Ming army did not send scouts to the big slope to investigate?"

Dorgon snorted and sneered, "That's why he said he is a fool! Zhu Cixuan clearly wanted to waste time. When Ajige didn't have time to retreat in the evening, wouldn't he be the turtle in the Ming army?"

"Let the main forces stop and be ready to respond to Ajige at any time, otherwise he would die under the horse's hooves of the Ming army!"

Listening to Dorgon's order, all the Qing generals present felt a chill in their hearts.

"This Zhu Ciyang is so vicious and wants to eat Prince Ying's troops?"

"It's really hateful!"

"Fortunately, Prince Rui saw through Zhu Cilang's conspiracy."

"Zhu Ciyang is just a child with a bad taste. How could he be compared with Prince Rui?"

Everyone cursed Zhu Cilang and flattered Dorgon, but there was no trace of pleasure on Dorgon's face.

This time, the ambush he carefully set up failed!
Chapter completed!
