"I sent an order to retreat south from Dongba, detour eastward, and reoccupate Shangqiu. Feng Shuangli was determined to go westward and would not pursue. In addition, the army withdrew from Kaifeng and retreated to Xishuanghepuzi and Wakeda, you send people to prepare more ships. When Ma Bao enters Kaifeng, hehe, this place will become a vast ocean. We can set sail thousands of ships and shoot the Ming army one by one with leisure." Duoduo ordered proudly.

"twitter!"

Victory is in sight, and the generals under his command are in high spirits and their voices are buzzing.

...

Dongba is a small town.

The Yellow River turned a bend from here and turned north, and the East Dam was named after it.

There is no danger here to defend, and Chang Adae is also good at using troops. After coming to Dongba, he immediately dug many trenches on the dam and ordered the soldiers to hide in the trenches.

Feng Shuangli brought his troops here and saw that the Qing soldiers built defensive fortifications on the dam, and he was very helpless - he could not use grenades and landmines to avoid the dam being destroyed.

It has been raining since the first day of August. Although the rain is not heavy, it has had a great impact on the combat between the two armies.

Grenades and mines were abandoned. With only five hundred steel guns and bows and arrows, their vision was blocked on rainy days, and their lethality to the Qing soldiers hiding in the ditch was limited.

Despite this, the two armies attacked and defended one after another, and the Qing soldiers fought for more than a day, with only 11,000 troops left. If Duoduo did not order the Qing soldiers, they would probably not be able to defend for half a day.

After receiving the order, Chang Adei immediately ordered the army to retreat south.

Feng Shuangli saw that the Qing soldiers did not retreat westward but fled southward. After a little thought, he understood the intention of the Qing soldiers.

However, he had no time to take care of Chang Adaye, because he knew that the Qing army had made such arrangements, obviously something was wrong with Kaifeng.

"Hurry, don't chase Chang Aday, hurry up and move west!" Feng Shuangli thought that Ma Bao's situation was worrying, and he was so anxious that his eyes were inflamed and he quickly ordered.

Shi Shizhen, the first battalion of the vanguard, got the order and immediately advanced westward along the dam.

The road was muddy and hard to walk. As soon as you step down, the mud was deep above your ankles. The shoes couldn't be worn at all, so the soldiers had to take off their shoes and walk forward barefoot.

Despite this, it is still very difficult to walk from one mud pit to another. Not only can it not increase the speed, it also takes a lot of energy. At this speed, it would be nice to be able to walk twenty miles a day.

"Start up! Keep up quickly, hurry up!" Feng Shuangli was anxious when he saw this scene, and felt helpless, so he had to urge him loudly.

"If Duoduo destroys the dam, then I will be fine!" Feng Shuangli wiped the rain on his face and thought with concern.

...

At the same time, Ma Bao's army was also struggling to move forward in the mud.

"Old Ma, don't rush to rush, let the team slow down. There are ambushes in Shuangli, and this road is even more difficult to walk. He is even further away than us. If he can't arrive in time, we will be in danger."

Ma Bao and Bai Wenxuan rode on the horse. Bai Wenxuan looked at the team under the rain and said worriedly.

"Old Bai, stop talking. The emperor loves the people the most. If he knew that the people of Kaifeng were buried alive by Duoduo, he might be more angry. Danger is dangerous, but the more dangerous it is, the more we have to rush over and rescue. Do you know why? The Qing soldiers are inhumane, destroying people's homes, robbing people of food, and burying petitions live. Such beastly journeys spread all over the world and will inevitably lose the people's hearts. At the same time, our army goes to rescue them regardless of the danger, and the people in Jiangbei will definitely return to the Ming Dynasty. What the people are going to do is the general trend, which is very beneficial to the emperor's great cause. Just this, even if all our 30,000 people die, it is worth it! What's more, we are a benevolent and righteous army, and the Qing soldiers are brutal people, I don't believe it anymore. God will destroy benevolence and prosperity!" Ma Bao replied firmly.

Upon hearing this, Bai Wenxuan turned his head and looked at Ma Bao: "Wow, Lao Ma, I didn't expect that you, a rude man, could also consider problems from the perspective of cleaning up the people's hearts? It's really worth the emperor's love for you."

"Hey, Lao Bai, what did you say, which eye did you see the emperor love me? When did you meet, you were scolded?"

"Scold? Lao Ma, don't pretend to be confused when you understand. If you don't like you, the emperor will scold you with a temperament? That's called 'beating is a kiss, scolding is love', do you know? Look, the emperor loves to scold you, besides you, there are two other people who are the ones that are Zhongyong Hou and Director Dai. Think about which of these two people is not a high position and power? Others want the emperor to scold you, but the emperor is too lazy to pay attention to it."

"I like to hear these words. Don't say that, why am I very happy when the emperor scolds me? Do you think I am a slut?"

"Hahaha... Lao Ma, don't behave like a bargain. In addition to the original three princes, you were named uncle. Why were you named uncle? How powerful are you? If you don't talk about me, your elder brother, Shuangli, which one is not better than you in terms of martial arts and wisdom? It's not that the emperor likes you."

"Hahaha... Lao Bai, why do I, Lao Ma, feel a little bit jealous when I hear you? Are you jealous?"

"No, I was a little jealous in the past, but now I don't want to eat it anymore. Just based on what you said just now, I, Lao Bai, am convinced. You can think about the emperor's great cause everywhere and think about the overall situation. Just based on this point, it means that the emperor has not misjudged the person."

"Okay, if you want to bury me, I'm still more comfortable. Your praise makes me not know what to do. Alas, Lao Bai, is there any letter to Hu Xuan?"

"No believe."

"Oh, where is this kid now? I wonder if this surprise soldier can make up some waves?"

.....

"Ye Owl" took advantage of the night to leave the city and acted very quickly. By dawn, they rushed to Chenliu Town.

"Sir, there are Qing soldiers stationed in Chenliu Town. I just asked a fellow villager and said there were two or three hundred people." Wang Changxi, the captain of the team under his command who was responsible for the front station, came to report.

"Two or three hundred people? Eat them! Just let the brothers have a good rest." Hu Xuan made a decision immediately without any hesitation.

He called Li Chengwang, captain of the second team and Yang Hongtao, captain of the third team, to conduct combat deployment.

"Xizi, Heizi, your two teams enter the town from both north and south to attack. Remember, don't use guns. Taozi, your team is responsible for the periphery, don't let a Qing soldier run away. Action!"

Hu Xuan finished putting it, waved his hand and the three captains took action separately.

A hundred people beat three hundred, and in terms of the number of people, the strength is a huge difference. But not only Hu Xuan, but even the three captains didn't take these three hundred people seriously.

Because Li Chengwang is tall and black, he is nicknamed "Heizi" by his fellow comrades.

"Heizi, Bibi?" Wang Changxi raised his eyebrows and said to Li Chengwang.

"Xizi, provocation? Who is afraid of whom? Let's compete. Let's sneak to the north of the town and fight from north to south. Let's tell you, don't start early, otherwise, I won't recognize the result of the competition!"

"I am the referee, if you lose, please have a hot pot!" Yang Hongtao joined in the fun.

"OK!"

"Taozi, you can't eat it for nothing."
