The final result of the Battle of Yihe was that the Ming army beheaded 5,000 and captured 3,000 enemies, and 20,000 went south to the Qing army with only 12,000 people left to defeat the north.

The rest is to chase.

Not only the Ming cavalry, but also the cavalry who turned against each other, and even the Shun army cavalry who had made great contributions outside Yizhou City were transferred to join the pursuit of the Qing army. They had to chase the fleeing Qing army so that these guys had no time to enter Juzhou. After all, the Qing army would inevitably kill people and vent their anger after entering the city, and the end of this pursuit was Muling Pass. This vast mountainous area that divided Shandong into two in this era mainly consisted of two passages. One went south from Qingzhou to Muling Pass into southern Shandong, and the other went south from Jinan to cross Taishan to western Shandong. Closing these two passages was equivalent to actually splitting Shandong with Dorgon...

What Yang Qing wants is the Central Branch Shandong.

Yang Qing currently does not have enough military strength and financial resources to continue to expand northward, especially when Shandong gentry generally welcomes Dorgon.

After all, he still has a battlefield in the south.

Huang Degong was in the upper reaches and had to warn Jin Shenghuan to move south. According to the information of the Jinyiwei, Dorgon had sent an envoy to win over Jin Shenghuan with the King of Chu. Whether this guy would accept it depends on whether the First Army can defend Henan. If the First Army and Yuan Zongdi did not defend the Yellow River, it would be inevitable that Jin Shenghuan would surrender to the Qing Dynasty. The First Army and Yuan Zongdi had to face Duoduo's main force of the 100,000 Qing army and Mongolian army. In addition, the Yunnan chieftain rebelled and attacked Kunming under the banner of King Gui. Grandma Qin and Mu Tianbo had asked Yang Qing to send troops to rescue...

Yang Qing can be satisfied.

He finally used King Gui to lure the snake out of the hole.

But the drastic changes in the north have made this plan to lead the snake out of the hole become a cocoon, which has to be said to be really embarrassing.

While the cavalry was pursuing, Wu Guogui returned to the outside of Yizhou City with 5,000 Jiannu heads and piled up Jingguan outside the city of Yizhou to ignite the fire, and then beheaded all the two thousand wounded Qing soldiers captured by the prisoners at the city of Yizhou. That night, a mutiny occurred in Yizhou City. Several major generals of Bai Yongfu's subordinates conspired to kill Bai Yongfu, and then opened the city gate to surrender to Wu Guogui. The battle of Yizhou ended with the complete victory of the Ming army. Immediately afterwards, Wu Guogui and Gao Yigong divided their troops to pacify the counties under Yizhou. At this time, the Fifth Army and Cavalry Army that marched along the canal had also captured Tai'an. As Gao Yigong's subordinates arrived from Laiwu to Tai'an Prefecture, the Ming Dynasty completely restored western Lu and southern Lu, and the Qing army had only the last stronghold...

Dongpingzhou.

"It's back!"

Gao Dejie looked at Dongping City ahead and recalled the past of the two girls fighting at night in the brothel last time.

Of course, this is not modern Dongping.

Dongping Zhoucheng in this era is a modern town, and this era is not a modern town. In fact, it is the heart of the entire Grand Canal. Daicun Dam, known as the heart of the canal, is in Dongping. This dam forces the Wen River to overflow and increase the water volume of the canal, and then makes the Grand Canal cross the Nanwang Water Ridge. Without the complex water conservancy facilities here, the Grand Canal cannot continue to pass here.

Of course, this is not the reason why the Qing army defended the dead.

They defended here only because they didn't rush to grab Jining in front of the Ming army.

"Someone came out in the city."

Xue Quji beside him said.

Although they were at the same level, they were both in command, and Yang Qing didn't say who led whoever led, Xue Quji consciously retreated to his deputy. Everyone knew that Gao Dejie was the most trusted thug of Zhongyong Hou. He accused Kong Xingqing of blood and tears when he was cut into pieces. Xue Quji could guess who caused the Kong family's family destruction case.

Gao Dejie took back the sigh and watched dozens of elders walk out of Dongping City.

A team of Ming troops stepped forward and took them over.

"What do you want?"

Gao Dejie asked.

"Gen. Gao is fine?"

An old guy smiled humbly.

"Do I know you?"

Gao Dejie said unexpectedly.

"I saw the general's style outside Qufu City that day."

The old guy said.

"Ah, you weren't injured?"

Gao Dejie said.

"Lucky, lucky!"

One of the wise men who was chasing the wise men outside the Yangsheng Gate of Qufu said awkwardly.

"We are old friends, just say anything."

Gao Dejie said.

"General Gao, the Qing Dynasty entered the pass to fight for the world with the Ming Dynasty. It was because the Regent heard that the Qing Dynasty wanted to invade Jiangnan and attacked the back to save Jiangnan. These treacherous officials and thieves were not enemies of the Ming Dynasty, but were actually the common enemy of the world. Everyone should be punished. Although the Ming and Qing Dynasty had fought for many years, the Regent did not take any previous grudges and saved the Ming Dynasty from danger. If the Qing Dynasty had not gone south, how could Li Zicheng be willing to resolve the siege of Yangzhou? This was the Qing Dynasty's support for the Ming Dynasty. I wonder why the Dukes of Nanjing thought it was a crime and even joined forces with the Qing Dynasty to attack the Qing Dynasty?"

The fellow villager said.

"If we say that, we are heading north at this time, Dorgon should go back to Liaodong. Why do we stay in Beijing and not leave?"

Gao Dejie said.

"This is why the Ming Dynasty abandoned the north, and the people in the north had no support. In order to break through the rebellion, they had to seek help from the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty went south to protect the people in the north, so they responded to the heavens. Since it was not taken away by the Ming Dynasty, how could it be said that it was in Beijing? However, the Qing Dynasty had absolutely no intention of being an enemy of the Ming Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty only took the place of rebellion. The Qing Dynasty was willing to use the Huai River as the boundary to be a brotherly country."

The local sage said.

"That is to say, you invited him?"

Gao Dejie said.

"The Regent was actually asked by the people of the north."

The local sage said.

Gao Dejie nodded with satisfaction.

"They were cut down all these traitors. As a subject of the Ming Dynasty, they ran to invite foreign races to occupy the land of the Ming Dynasty. What is this traitor? The Ming Dynasty's ruler plotted against traitors was unforgivable, and he dared to come out to die on his own initiative, and even said that the crime of treason was so high-sounding!"

Gao Dejie said contemptuously.

"General, the two armies will not be killed when they fight!"

The fellow villager screamed in horror as he watched the soldiers rushing towards him.

The local geniuses beside him were screaming in horror.

"Come to envoy? What are you here to envoy? You are just a group of traitors who surrender to the police."

Gao Dejie sneered.

The soldiers then dragged these guys who were seeking death to the place they could see on the city wall, and cut off their heads without hesitation amid their crying...

"Everyone, did you see it?"

On the city wall, Liu Yuyou, former Minister of Works of the Ming Dynasty and now the governor of the Qing Dynasty's grain transportation, looked at this scene and said indignantly: "Jiangnan has long been a treacherous minister who is the eunuch party. Yang Qing is cruel and tyrannical, poisoning Jiangnan, killing nobles, destroying royal families, killing meritorious officials, and even controlling the filthy affairs of the court. Even if the people of Jiangnan cannot bear it, the Ming royal family must raise troops to fight against rebellion. If we fall into his hands, I am afraid that the tragedy of Yanshenggong will repeat. Only the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the Regent is the lord and wise ruler, and the real destiny of heaven. Today is the day when I imitate Zhang Xunxu Yuan's reputation is passed down in history. The officials and people in Dongping are united and defending this city for the Qing Dynasty. The Regent personally led a 100,000 army to the south. In less than half a month, we will sing a great song with the emperor of the Qing Dynasty to share the peace and prosperity of the Qing Dynasty!"

"We swear to defend this city for the Qing Dynasty to the death!"

An official shouted.

The elders and civil servants roared indignation. Amid their roars, Liu Yuyou and He Luohui, the Zhenghuang Banner Manchuria Gushan, who led 5,000 Qing troops to enter Dongping, looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

But at the same time, a harsh whistling blew through the air.

The next moment, a pile of arrows smashed.

As the shells hit, broken bricks swept back like shotguns. The recent elders were beaten to the point where they were beaten to pieces before they could react. Then more roars came, dozens of shells kept on the city wall, in the crowd, and even on the city tower above their heads. Broken bricks flew, wood and stones fell, and blood and flesh splashed, screaming in the city head. Those loyal and righteous men who were originally full of passion were in a mess in an instant. Then the city guards who forcibly arrested strong men on the city wall screamed, and soon someone ran to the city wall desperately.

"The escapee is killed!"

He Luo would roar in anger.

But this is useless.

Although he was prepared to arrange the Qing army to serve as the commander under the city wall, the problem was that the troops were too small.

The main force of Shandong Qing army was Bahana.

Their target was Xuzhou, but Xuzhou, along with Gao Yigong, was defended by the main force of the Shun Army. Of course, Dorgon did not expect that 20,000 or 30,000 Qing troops could be defeated. He had to rescue Bai Yongfu first, and only after he got the latter's 100,000 army was known as the 100,000 army. He Luo would advance along the cannon, but he just came to mobilize the confidence of the Luxi gentry and then gathered these mobs, and then took them as cannon fodder to attack Xuzhou together with Bahana. But he did not expect that Yang Qing would form a fast assault cavalry army. As soon as he arrived in Dongping, Gao Dejie captured Jining and Yanzhou.

As a result, he could only face the elite Ming army army corps as soon as he entered Shandong.

As for Dorgon's 100,000 army...

That's a lie.

But this is a lie of kindness. After all, everyone is happy to defend Dongping. Those gentry don’t have to face Yang Qing, who has been demonized. He has indeed received the support of the gentry, but...

The people don’t care about this!

The common people were not in the mood to follow them to be Zhang Xuyuan! They had seen Yang Qing before, and they had seen Gao Dejie before. The last time Chongzhen went south, these people lived in Dongping. They went shopping in the kilns and paid money, did not eat overlord meals, nor did they tease women. Compared with the Qing army who did everything bad things as soon as they entered the city, these people seemed to be the real king's army, right?

I was already very resentful when I was forced to go up to the city wall before. Now, when the fire broke out on the opposite side, I would be a fool if I didn’t run away!

Supervisor team?

Just how did the five thousand Qing troops supervise more than ten miles of city walls?

The 30,000 strong men who were forced to fight on the entire city wall dispersed in an instant as the shells fell, following the horse paths that had climbed the city, rushing away the Qing army in supervising the battle like a flood, even trampling them under their feet, and then disappearing directly into the streets and alleys in the city.

He Luo would look at the empty city wall in a blink of an eye, as helpless as an old farmer who had planted fake seeds in the field.
