Under Luoyang City, there was a loud "boom" sound, and the last siege tower splashed and collapsed.

The sound of gold from "Dangdang" sounded in the distance, and the enemy left behind corpses and many burning siege equipment, retreating in the wild.

On the top of the city, Gao Jie, covered in blood, stood by the city wall, watching the enemy retreat, and there was no look of joy on his face.

The Liang army, who was guarding the city, did not cheer when they saw the enemy retreat.

"Don't worry, soldiers, the king will definitely come to rescue Luoyang!" Wang Dushan shouted to encourage the soldiers when he saw the enemy retreat.

...

Outside the city, the coalition camp, and the central army's tent.

Duoduo, Li Jiyu and others were sitting in the tent, discussing the siege.

One person broke in from outside and whispered to Li Jiyu. When Li Jiyu heard this, his face suddenly sank.

Seeing his expression change, Duoduo couldn't help asking: "King Tang, what happened?"

Li Jiyu said with a black face: "Liu Zongmin attacks Wu Pass!"

Duoduo smiled and said, "This is probably Gao Huan. It is not a fear of asking Li Guo to send troops to surround Wei and save Zhao!"

"With that being said, I still need to take Luoyang as soon as possible!" Li Jiyu said in a deep voice.

Although Li Jiyu brought the unreliable Shun Army to Luoyang, all those who stayed in Guanzhong were his confidants, and Wuguan also blocked Liu Zongmin, after all, he had mutiny and seized power, and there must be people in Shunguo who were not convinced. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of anything.

Duoduo fell into hesitation after hearing Li Jiyu's words.

Now there are as many as 250,000 Qing and Shun troops gather around Luoyang and control many passes to Luoyang, which makes Duoduo's intention to surround and attack support.

Duoduo had already learned of Gao Huan's withdrawal from Wuchang, and knew that half of the elite troops were still staying in Huguang to fight Zhang Xianzhong.

In this way, if Gao Huan comes to rescue Luoyang, first of all, the coalition forces have a small force, and the coalition forces have the advantage of military strength. Secondly, Gao Huan traveled thousands of miles, and was sure that the troops were exhausted. The coalition forces could wait for their hard work. In the end, the passes around Luoyang, except for Xuanyuan Pass, all fell into the hands of the coalition forces, and Gao Huan could only rescue Luoyang from Xuanyuan Pass.

The army has an advantage in terms of force, and the army is waiting for work. In addition, it is very suitable to surround the site and attack support.

After Dorgon's failure, Duoduo always wanted to win a big victory and avenge his previous shame.

Therefore, Duoduo wanted to wait for Gao Huan to come. In addition, since the Battle of Shuanggou, the Eight Banners soldiers had lost nearly 30% of them, and the losses were huge. The Qing army was very cautious about the use of the Eight Banners soldiers and basically would not allow the Eight Banners to participate in the siege.

After hearing Li Jiyu's words, Duoduo looked hesitant and suddenly asked, "What's the situation in Gao Huan now?"

Boluo stood up and walked to the map, pointing, "According to scouts, Gao Huan led a small 100,000 people to the east from Wuchang. The slave thought that after he arrived in Wuhu, he might enter Chaohu from Ruxushui, then go ashore from Hefei, march northwest, follow the Yingshui River to Henan, and meet with Sun Chuanting!"

When Duoduo heard the words, he was in a state of confusion. At this moment, a general broke into the tent and reported loudly without asking about it, "Master, Gao Huan has arrived in Huai'an!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, which made the generals of all races stunned.

It's too fast to arrive in Huai'an? The information mentioned earlier said that Gao Huan left Wuchang and arrived in Huai'an in half a month. This speed can catch up with the cavalry.

Duoduo frowned and asked, "Why is Gao Huan so fast?"

"Gao Huan took a boat down. The boat was as fast as a galloping horse on the Yangtze River. The war horses still needed to rest, but the boat could march day and night, so the marching speed on the Yangtze River was extremely fast!"

Duoduo asked, "What about the Grand Canal? The Grand Canal is not flowing smoothly!"

"It is said that after Gao Huan entered the Grand Canal, Gao Huan did not get off the boat throughout the journey and was relayed by civilians and boatmen to Huai'an!" the general explained.

Duoduo heard the words but didn't speak for a moment.

As a northerner, he could not understand the convenience of water transportation.

At this time, Li Jiyu raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that Gao Huan not only adopted the strategy of siege Wei to save Zhao, but also the same for Prince Yu. He wanted to rely on attacking Guanzhong and Shandong, force us to return to the aid and give up attacking Luoyang!"

The two generals in the tent couldn't help but talk.

"It's okay! Don't care!" Duoduo suddenly waved his hand and the big tent became quiet. "I have expected that Gao Huan might do this, so this attack on Luoyang did not recruit the Northern Ming army and Kong Youde. With them in Shandong, they will definitely be able to stop Gao Huan."

As he said that, Duoduo looked at Li Jiyu, "Liu Zongmin is blocked by Wuguan, you don't need to worry. Let's conquer Luoyang before we talk about it!"

...

When Duoduo and Li Jiyu attacked Luoyang, the Beiming regime did not let it go, which was such a rare opportunity.

Wu Sangui led an army of 100,000 to drive Yuan Shizhong out of Shandong, and took advantage of the situation to lead the army south to capture Haizhou and Shuyang.

The Northern Ming army pushed the border three or four hundred miles southward, from the provincial border between Shandong and Nanzhili to the north bank of the Huai River.

Huai'an City, the government office.

Gao Huan sat upright in the festival hall, and many Liang generals were fully furnished, standing on both sides, waiting for Gao Huan's orders.

Just now, Gao Huan had learned about the situation in Beiming from Yuan Shizhong and Gao Mingheng who came from Xuzhou.

Now Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou already know that Gao Huan goes north along the Grand Canal.

The Northern Ming army on the north bank of the Huai River and Kong Youde's 20,000 Qing army retreated northward to set up defenses.

Although Gao Huan chose to surround Wei and save Zhao and attack Huanglong, it was not easy to achieve it.

Because the arrangement was made in the early morning of the Manchus, the Northern Ming Army and Kong Youde were in Shandong. It was not easy for the Liang army to go north and threaten Hebei and Beijing.

Gao Huan listened to the statements of Gao Mingheng and Yuan Shizhong and roughly learned about the situation in Shandong.

"Yuan Shizhong!" Gao Huan said in a deep voice.

"I'm here!" Yuan Shizhong's silver armor and white robe came out and held his fists.

Gao Huan ordered: "You are familiar with the situation in Shandong. I regard you as the pioneer and transfer the Panshi Camp to the great pillars and Shenji Camp to the Poplar, and the Shenji Camp to the Poplar, and you are under your control. I want you to advance north immediately, head straight to Jinan, and open the way for the army!"

Yuan Shizhong quickly clasped his fists and said, "I will accept the order!"

Gao Huan nodded slightly, then looked at Gao Mingheng again and said, "Mr. Gao, please supervise Xu Heihu, Hao Yaoqi, Li Chengdong and other troops to preside over the battle in Shandong!"

The continuous battles made Gao Huan a little tired of running.

On the way to march, Gao Huan issued an order to supervise Sun Chuanting in Henan and preside over the rescue of Luoyang, so that Gao Mingheng could come to Huai'an to obey the orders.

Gao Mingheng is from Shandong and knows the situation in Shandong even better than Gao Huan. He has been stationed on the Yellow River defense line for a long time and has been in opposition to the Qing army and the Northern Ming army. In fact, it is more suitable for commanding the Shandong battle than Gao Huan.

Now Gao Huan asked Song Xiance to supervise Huguang, Sun Chuanting to supervise Henan, and Gao Mingheng to attack Shandong, which was also an intention to cultivate talents who were alone.

After all, with Li Zicheng's death, Shunguo was controlled by Li Jiyu, and a net of siege against Liang Kingdom had been formed.

Although Gao Huan is powerful, he can only deal with enemies in one direction, so Gao Huan needs to delegate power and appoint several supervisors to deal with the changing situation.

Gao Mingheng heard the words and bowed, "I will accept the order!"

Gao Huan then stood up and said aloud: "Luoyang crisis! Everyone is going to prepare, let's go today!"

"Here!" Many generals stood up and saluted.

After the meeting, each will come out of the festival one after another.

Yuan Shizhong took the two elite troops of the battalions that Gao Huan had supplemented him and left Huai'an first and went north with murderous intent.

Under Wu Sangui's encirclement, Xiao Yuan's camp suffered heavy losses and was forced to withdraw from Shandong.

Now that the main force of the Liang army has returned to the aid, Yuan Shizhong returned to Shandong with anger to seek revenge on Wu Sangui.

After Yuan Shizhong left, Gao Mingheng did not stop and soon followed Yuan Shizhong with 60,000 troops.

...

At the junction of Shandong and Nanzhili.

Outside Pi County, soldiers of the Northern Ming army were digging trenches outside the city, and were built on defense.

At this time, Wu Sangui, wearing golden armor, looked at the soldiers with a gloomy face.

After learning that Gao Huan defeated Zhang Xianzhong, Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou were worried that Gao Huan would attack, so the Northern Ming army immediately withdrew from Xuzhou and returned to the north bank of the Yellow River.

Wu Sangui Yuan originally thought that the Northern Ming Dynasty had withdrawn and took a defensive posture. Even if Gao Huan returned, he would still attack Duoduo, who was attacking Luoyang, but he did not expect to hit him.

"Dig the trench deeper!" Wu Sangui walked past the position, and the generals behind him shouted from time to time, instructing the busy soldiers.

At this time, the soldiers were busy, and suddenly a warning bell rang at the top of the city. Wu Sangui stopped and looked south. He saw rolling yellow dust rising from the wilderness in the south. Several Northern Ming cavalrymen rushed back in panic before the yellow dust.

Wu Sangui clenched the hilt of the knife and said, "Here you come!"

The busy soldiers of the Beiming, hearing the movement, stood up and looked at the Liang army's cavalry galloped in fear.
