Suksaha mobilized heavy troops to Yanzhou Prefecture, so he naturally wanted to seek a decisive battle with Zheng Chenggong.

In his opinion, blindly hudging defense would not have any effect, but would make the Ming army more and more braver.

Suksaha does not believe in metaphysics, but sometimes this thing is so wonderful.

Once morale is raised, it will be difficult to suppress it.

Since Suksaha has the power to fight, he naturally does not want to put himself in a passive situation of being beaten.

In other words, he still has hope for the current combat power of the Eight Banners Army.

So he gathered all the forces that could gather and decided to take a gamble.

But as soon as he got up, he was beaten to a halt because Zou County was directly taken down by Zheng Chenggong.

Although Zou County does not have many troops stationed in the defense, it is not even possible to resist.

But now it feels like Suksaha.

Before Zheng Chenggong could make efforts, he took Zou County.

This made Suksaha unable to see Zheng Chenggong's strength clearly.

What would it be if Zheng Chenggong tried his best?

Suksaha was a little unimaginable.

However, this also strengthened Suksaha and Zheng Chenggong's determination to fight to the death in Yanzhou. This momentum cannot make him rise, otherwise he will be in trouble.

There are only two situations in decisive battles, one is to defend the city and the other is to fight in the field.

Suksaha prefers the latter.

After all, the advantage of the Eight Banners Army lies in its cavalry.

If you blindly stay in the city, it is equivalent to sacrificing your own martial arts and cutting off your own arms.

Suksaha naturally won't do such stupid things.

He summoned all the confidant generals to discuss and arrange specific strategies.

The terrain of Yanzhou Prefecture is relatively flat, and there is no danger in Yanzhou City to defend.

So an old wood outside the city became Suksaha's only choice.

This is the place that must be passed to attack Yanzhou City. Zheng Chenggong would definitely pass by if he wanted to attack Yanzhou.

All Suksaha had to do was to ambush the troops here and wait for Zheng Chenggong to come to his door.

...

...

"General He, the old forest I mentioned before is what I mentioned."

A Ming army scout said with great caution.

He came here several times to investigate and found that this was a good place for ambushing troops.

If the Ming army could garrison here in advance, it would be great whether it was taking the initiative to attack or playing a yin game.

Usually, the Qing army would hide in the city, which was equivalent to handing over the ambush land to the Ming army.

He Shouyi thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed a good way.

"Well, send someone to tell His Highness Zhong quickly and explain this idea to him."

He Shouyi's mission this time is very clear. He is not to attack Ziyang City, but to inquire as useful information as possible.

Zheng Chenggong clearly told him not to fight, and He Shouyi naturally would not make mistakes on this issue.

"Abide by the order!"

...

...

After resting in Zou County for a period of time, Zheng Chenggong led the main force of the Ming army toward Ziyang, Yanzhou Prefecture City.

For Zheng Chenggong, what he needs to consider is not just a battle, but the entire Shandong situation.

So he needs to maintain a proper rhythm from beginning to end.

Even the time he led the main force to attack Yanzhou was planned in advance.

In order to be roughly consistent with the time his eldest son attacked Denglai.

In this way, the Qing army was under pressure at the same time and could not take into account both the beginning and the end.

From a geographical point of view, Yanzhou is the southern gate of Shandong.

Taking Yanzhou can not only continue to go north to threaten Qingzhou and Jinan, but also cooperate with Zheng Jing who attacked Dengzhou to attack Laizhou.

No matter how you look at it, you must win this battle.

Therefore, Zheng Chenggong rarely seeks stability and does not rush to achieve military achievements quickly.

While heading towards Ziyang City, Zheng Chenggong received a report that General He Shouyi found a suitable ambush location not far outside Ziyang City.

This is an old forest that can accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers.

Zheng Chenggong was overjoyed. Regardless of whether the Qing army would take the initiative to fight, if they could occupy the old forest here in advance, they would have taken the lead.

After all, hiding in the woods is equivalent to hiding in the dark.

The enemy is in the light and I am in the dark, so it is naturally beneficial to exert.

Zheng Chenggong then ordered an urgent marches to arrive outside Ziyang City before dark.

...

...

Just as Zheng Chenggong was about to arrive in Ziyang City, he saw a group of soldiers galloping on the official road.

I saw the yellow dust rolling, covering the sky and the sun.

Zheng Chenggong frowned secretly and ordered the entire army to be on guard with caution.

If it was the Qing army, he must be prepared to start a war.

Although it means that the army marched rapidly, its physical strength was still distributed well.

There is no big problem with the war at this time.

But when Zheng Chenggong saw the flag clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was his own person!

This army was undoubtedly led by He Shouyi.

Soon the two sides met again, which was the gathering since they left Xuzhou.

He Shouyi turned over and dismounted, and quickly stepped forward to Zheng Chenggong to salute.

"The last general He Shouyi met His Highness, King Zhong."

Zheng Chenggong smiled and said, "General He quickly invites you to get up, come and tell me what is going on in Ziyang City now? I have seen the messenger you sent. I heard that there is an old forest outside Ziyang City, which is very suitable for ambushing. I can't wait to see what kind of old forest is so praised by our General He."

It would be fine if he didn't say this, but He Shouyi's face turned red as soon as he said this.

"Ahem..."

He Shouyi cleared his throat and said a little embarrassedly: "Your Highness Zhong, I will not know if there is anything to say or not."

Zheng Chenggong waved his hand and said, "But it's okay."

"This is the thing. At that time, I really thought that the old forest here was very suitable for ambushing, so I ordered someone to report to you. But later, I found that Suksaha had also thought about the old forest and actually transferred all the main troops in the city to ambush here."

"oh?"

Zheng Chenggong was shocked.

He would never have thought of both sides thinking of going to the same place.

If I had to say that, Suksaha planned to fight the Ming army outside the city?

Who gave him the courage?

"Are you really that?"

“It’s true.”

It was of great importance, so He Shouyi naturally would not say nonsense. He also sent scouts several times to inquire before confirming that the Qing army had used the old forest outside the city as the ambush site.

"Since that's the case, I have to plan a good idea and invite him to have a pot."

Zheng Chenggong is not a rash person.

But since Suksaha has arrived, if he doesn't take the initiative, it will be a bit unreasonable.

The Qing army thought that cavalry was their advantage, so they decided to fight in the field.

Then Zheng Chenggong told him what restraint means.

In terms of firearms, cannons are the cavalry's biological father.

Are you not a cavalry sharp? See if my artillery is sharp.

"General He, let's discuss together how to deal with the enemy."
