"Xu Dingguo, Xu Dingguo..., deserve to kill, deserve to kill! He deserves to die..."

Du Yinxi took the military newspaper and saw it in a few seconds. He was so angry that he cursed repeatedly. At this time, no one in the hall advised him to put the overall situation first.

Because Xu Dingguo deserves to be killed and deserves to be killed!

The fault is that he is afraid to avoid the battle. When he was fighting with Gao Jie side by side with the Qing army, he suddenly gave up and left and sold Gao Jie. How could Gao Jie's army be defeated so miserably?

How could the Ming army completely lose its chance of victory?

As long as Xu Dingguo and Gao Jie could block the Qing army in Liangxiang, Liu Zhaoji's troops would arrive, and there would still be some battles in the battle of the capital. But Xu Dingguo..., he destroyed all this.

"Xu Dingguo, Xu Dingguo, is greedy for life and fear of death, and is in vain for the country's kindness, he is in vain for the country's kindness..."

Hong Chengchou was very excited. He valued this Northern Expedition so much, and regarded it as his "making achievements" again, which was a great hope for China and retaining its reputation behind him, but it was ruined by Xu Dingguo.

If Xu Dingguo hadn't fled first, would Gao Jie be defeated so badly?

Liu Zhaoji has led his army north, and he has gone north.

If Xu Dingguo was in front of Hong Chengchou now, he would have eaten Xu Dingguo alive.

As long as the Ming army holds up in Liangxiang, when Huang Degong raises troops to the east of Yanjing, will this trend come back to the Ming side? After Cao Bianjiao was defeated, the Ming army was not without a chance.

But it's too late to say anything now.

Xu Dingguo had already fled. So after Cao Bianjiao was defeated, Gao Jie was defeated, and Liu Zhaoji was defeated.

There is no obstacle between Yanjing and Baoding. Can the Qing army directly penetrate Baoding like this?

"No, my lord, after the Qing army defeated Cao Gao and other generals, they can go straight to Baoding!" Du Yinxi's anger disappeared for a while, and then shouted suddenly.

"Yes, Baoding is in trouble." Hong Chengchou wanted to cry.

With Cao Bianjiao and his friends' defeat, the Ming army under Baoding City will be in trouble.

The reason is very simple. Even if Ajige's army cannot defeat Wang Tingchen and Liu Liangzuo's camps, can't they cut off the logistics lines and retreat routes of the two armies? This is a trick that the Tatars used to deal with the Ming army.

But neither Wang nor Liu's army had much surplus food.

Because the Northern Expedition Army was progressing so smoothly, it was killed in the city of Yanjing in two months, so that the large amount of food and fodder prepared in the rear was far less than it was quickly sent to the army. It was barely enough in eastern Shandong or northern Henan, but it would be difficult to enter northern Zhili.

But the Ming army was so happy that they had "confiscated their homes" along the way. They bought a lot of money, grain and material, let alone generals in the army, even Hong Chengchou didn't care about the food and fodder in the rear.

Like Daming, it is the rear base of the army; Zhending, the logistics base of the main force of the Northern Expedition Army refers to Cao Bianjiao and others. There is also Hejian, which corresponds to the partial army Huang Degong. They all stockpiled a large number of food and fodder obtained along the way.

Originally, the civilians who followed the army were used to transport materials and ensure logistics. But now they are indeed transporting materials, but they are more of the "trophies" of various troops during the Northern Expedition.

As for Wang Tingchen and Liu Liangzuo's troops on the front line, they did not carry too much food in the army.

It wouldn't be that there was only three days of food in the battle between Songjin, but at most it wouldn't be more than one month.

If Ajige led the horse army to cut off the retreat route of the food route, Wang Tingchen and Liu Liangzuo would naturally be in danger.

"This army can be quickly informed General Huang (Huang Degong) and lead him to Baoding." Du Yinxi shouted, "The Qing army's large brigade of horses and soldiers have returned, and the infantry will not remain stranded even if there is some distance. In addition, the main force of the Northern Expedition has been setback. If General Huang enters Yanjing alone, it will be useless. It will be better to quickly return south to meet the king, Liu and the remaining troops of the front army retreat south."

If there were no troops to support him, Wang Tingchen and Liu Liangzuo retreated alone. It was not that Du Yinxi looked down on them. With the great decline in the military power and morale, they were just infantrymen. How could they escape the pursuit of the Qing cavalry?

Even if it is more powerful than the military power of both sides, the Qing Dynasty is not much worse.

"The blocking of the military and constitution is too strong, is the Tartars' arrogance to destroy the majesty of our army?" Opposition immediately sounded.

"Dongweng, although General Xiao Cao failed, our army suffered a lot of losses, but the strength of the Northern Expedition Army is still there. The Ma Zhongcheng's unit of Daming Prefecture, the Zuo Zongrong headquarters (Zuo Guangxian), and General Huang's 30,000 imperial camp soldiers, plus Baoding's troops, the army is still no less than 100,000, and there is even a shortage of money and food. In addition, there are also many soldiers and horses in southern Hebei, Central Plains, and Qilu, all of which are gathered together, and at least 30,000 or 20,000 people are drawn..."

The Northern Expedition Army will light up the county and it will be impossible to take it down and leave it alone. Some of the troops must be left behind to suppress the local area in a short period of time, so as to cooperate with the officials sent by the Ming court to restore the majesty of the Ming Dynasty locally.

Just like Qiu Zude of Qi and Lu, he had three thousand battalions on hand, plus the garrisons of Yanzhou and Dongchang, the total strength was not 20,000 or 18,000. Who said that Hong Chengchou had not succeeded in recruiting the Yuyuan Army?

The same is true for the garrisons in eastern and northern Henan, and even more. Shi Dewei (Shi Kefa adopted son) was in Huaiqing.

Because Hong Chengchou had to be on guard against Duoduo taking advantage of the Yellow River soldiers, the army led the Huaiqing Prefecture to capture the retreat of the Northern Expedition Army.

How could he put the defense and hope of the entire Central Plains on the generals of the Zuoying?

In this way, in the Central Plains, Qilu and southern Hebei regions, the scattered troops were almost the same as 50,000. So the Northern Expedition forces that could be used on the blade were greatly reduced.

Now the people in Hong Chengchou's curtain are staring at them. This is not because they are greedy for merit, but it is a pity to let go of the current situation. Therefore, many people advocate taking the initiative to fight with the Qing Dynasty.

Even if you can't make progress in Yanjing, you must keep it south of the Yellow River?

The two armies will fight in Baoding City!

The Tartars galloped hundreds of miles against the wind and snow to return to Yanjing, but they didn't believe that they were all made of steel. The Ming army was either powerless to fight. They were also going to advance to Yanjing, so they planned to defeat the Qing army's reinforcements outside the city...

Now the Ming army has seen Yanjing.

"I know that the Qing cavalry army has arrived, how far can the infantry be? The Jinyiwei's previous information has been unstoppable. Once a stalemate is formed in Baoding, it will be difficult to retreat at that time." Du Yinxi shouted loudly.

He felt that the Qing Dynasty infantry brigade was behind and would not be far away.

After all, the Qing army's vest soldiers were advancing in the wind and snow, and infantry armor was not as expensive as those of vest soldiers in the Tartars.

The news that Hong Chengchou has received now shows that the Eight Banners horse soldiers appeared in the suburbs of Beijing were only 20,000 to 30,000 horse soldiers. From this point of view, even if the Qing Dynasty suffered losses in the previous battle, it was superficial because their main infantry forces did not participate in the war at all. Now they have both horse and infantry, and their strength is still very complete!

On the other hand, the three generals of the Ming army, Cao Bianjiao, Gao Jie and Liu Zhaoji were all destroyed, and the army was lost to no less than 50,000. Xu Dingguo fled again, Huang Degong was in Bazhou, only Wang Tingchen, Liu Liangzuo was in Baoding, and Hong Chengchou only had the general of the General Zuo Guangxian left in the hands of the Super League.

You can't ignore the possibility that the Qing army would be faster than the Ming army.

"When our army mobilized troops, who knew whether the Qing army would arrive first? What's more, it's hard to say whether Xu Ding's Congress will defeat the country and surrender to the enemy. Such a large army will have a decisive battle against Baoding, which is too risky. The subordinate said an inappropriate thing, if the story of the Songjin War was repeated, the Ming Dynasty would be in danger."
