The distance between Fengyang Prefecture and Luzhou Prefecture was almost the same. The Houtu Camp received news a little late, but he also rushed to chase him up. The Shuizi Camp stationed in Datong Mountain was closer, and the Huozi Camp dragged Wakeda from Huai'an. Zhu Dadian did not dare to neglect and led his troops to support him quickly.

Yan Yingyuan was even more nervous when he saw the smoke rising in front of him. He had already known the news that Hou Xuanyan had crossed the river and made a northern expedition, which was a big surprise.

Jiergalang was carrying the Qing soldiers in the Central Plains and arrived in full swing. If Duke Yue was not aware of the details and rashly advanced northward to encounter Jiergalang's army, it would be a big deal. As long as Hou Xuanyan died, no one could restrain his generals. At that time, each of them returned to the dark era of warlord separatism during the Hongguang period, they would definitely be defeated one by one by the Qing soldiers. Although Duke Yue was in the limelight and strong in the army, there was no strong second-rate figure in this group centered on Hou Xuanyan.

Thinking of this, Yan Yingyuan was sweating coldly, and threw a whip on the horse's buttocks and said loudly: "Zhou Wenwu, leave your troops to collect the baggage, and the others threw away all their luggage and marched with me at full speed."

Zhu Dadian is not much different. There are too many cannons in the Water-Character Camp and basically no cavalry. Even if he advances with all his strength, he still feels that he is much slower.

Zhu Dadian is nearly 60 years old. Although he is well maintained and has good physical strength, he can no longer bear the long-distance attack.

Wu Yi, the deputy commander of the Shuizi Camp, rushed to him and frowned and said, "The Duke crossed the river early this morning. At this time, he probably had met Jiergalang's main force. Even if we broke our legs, we would not be able to catch up."

Zhu Dadian drew sweat from his forehead, his throat was dry and unbearable. He gritted his teeth and said, "If I could have arrived a moment earlier, I would have seen the Duke be in good health, and it would be worth it to run off 100,000 legs."

Outside Jiangpu City, Hou Xuan decided that the enemy army was coming and occupied the highlands on the outskirts of the city early. The trees were lush and the shade of the trees were just enough to shade the sun. The soldiers simply built a few fortifications on the gentle high ground, and were ready to wait for their work.

This hillside is located on the left side of Jiangpu City, a distance from the battlefield, but the entire army has to retreat before they can arrive. Since we know that the enemy is coming, we naturally have to ambush, and even if the effect is not good, casualties can be avoided. Hou Xuanyan ordered the Northern Expedition Army to hide in the woods and hide here.

The breeze in the forest greatly relieved the unbearable heat caused by the scorching heat. Hou Xuanyan was afraid that his subordinates would relax, so he set an example and did not take off his armor. However, because his thighs were so painful that they were worn out, he found a big tree and squatted on the ground and rested on the tree.

Although Hou Xuanyan had information and knew that Jiergalang was coming and brought many Qing soldiers, the specific information was not obtained. He leaned leisurely by the tree and secretly reached his hand into his crotch. He rode the horse inside his big hip for too long and felt a little bruised and painful. Hou Xuanyan rubbed it slowly, and occasionally he would make a low cry of "Yeah".

Hu Bawan felt embarrassed and had goose bumps. In order to preserve the hero's reputation for life, he had to pretend not to see it and loudly argued with his several of his personal soldiers to help the hero cover up his voice.

Hou Xuanyan was disturbed by his voice. He looked up and saw that the Northern Expedition Army was talking and laughing. A relaxed victory made them a little lazy. The war was approaching, and such comfort would be dead. Hou Xuanyan was furious and stood up and kicked Hu Bawan. The guy was not moved. He scratched his head and turned around and saw that the general was kicking him, and he was almost falling down. Hu Bawan, who was determined to be the one who was determined, immediately used a move to flat sand and fall on the ground.

"What are you chatting? Is this the time to chat? I cheer up my spirits. The Qing army will arrive soon. It doesn't matter if you are a waste of your life. Who can raise the mother in the family?"

Hu Bawan was not rewarded with kindness, and he was kicked for no reason. He just reacted and fell to the ground with a plop, and heard Hou Xuanyan's roar. A carp stood up and shouted loudly: "Have you heard it? Everyone is cheering up. Fighting is not a joke. Underestimating the enemy is a big loss."

The Northern Expedition Army then put away their relaxedness, held their respective weapons tightly, and waited for the arrival of the Qing soldiers.

All the Qing soldiers marching rapidly in the distance were sweating profusely. Now it was the sun shining. Yingtian Mansion in July was one of the hottest cities in the world. The Qing soldiers of the Han Eight Banners were fine. The Qing soldiers of the Man Eight Banners who came in from the bitter and cold place outside the pass had never suffered such high temperatures. There were many people who fainted. However, Jierharang was unmoved at all and kept urging the wrong to speed up the march.

Jiergalang was really interested in killing this time. The one at the forefront was his own blue flag. He put the Han Eight Banners with a slightly weak combat power behind them, so as not to miss the opportunity to fight. Hu Xuanyan was letting him go. Killing one person can determine the entire situation, so how much the cost is worth it. Jiergalang was a teenager to fight with Nurhaci, and was an excellent general. He knew this very well. Shooting a man first and capturing a horse. Capturing the thief first. Now the "king" of the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to attack, giving himself a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The fate of the entire clan who had been dormant outside the pass for so many years depends on his battle.

Finally, Jiangpu City was right in front of me, and her body was soaked with blue flag soldiers. The hot summer was far more terrible than fighting. These people just wanted to fight at this moment, so that they could find a ground to escape the heat and cool down after the battle.

The few people rushed to the front, all of whom were veterans with the blue flag. They were called vests, also called Xiaoqi. After ordinary Manchu bannermen became adults, they would join the army and become Xiaoqi, and would be under Zuotong. The leader was named Agui, who had a short figure, but was extremely strong. Several people slowed down their speed, pulled the reins, and slowly rode forward.

Agui looked around and turned around in Manchu and said, "Why didn't he see the traces of the Han people when Jiangpu City is here?"

"Listen to Zuoleng, just keep moving forward. I really hope to kill the Han people soon and find a deeper sink to wash. In this kind of weather, the Han people here can survive."

Agui smiled and said, "What do you know? You can't stand the cold even if you let the Han people here go outside our pass. Last year, Prince Ying took us back to escape the summer heat. I don't know what happened this year. We sent troops on hot weather. We all know in the mountains that hunting requires time. Isn't it a waste to come out of this kind of day?"

"When I came here with Prince Ying last year, although the Han men here are like slaughtered domestic pigs, the women are really good. They grab the white flesh and flesh, just like they are on cotton, and they look good. After looking at the women here, and then in our tribe, they are all wild boars."

Speaking of this, several cavalry licked their lips together, not knowing what past happened.

Several Eight Banners cavalry could not find the Northern Expedition Army. They chatted here, but the Northern Expedition Army could see clearly in the woods in the distance. Although half of the city wall was separated, the Qing army was still too eye-catching. All the soldiers held their breath and realized that the Duke's words were right. The Qing soldiers coming were covered in darkness, looking like endless waves rolling out of the horizon, rushing towards them.
