The cavalry of the Huai Army used the crisscrossing river network terrain to use the navy to maneuver, hunted out the Qing soldiers of the Green Camp everywhere to capture Ding. Almost every attack could wipe out a team of Qing soldiers in the Green Camp. In addition to completely annihilated Tian Xiong's 10,000 Qing soldiers in the Green Camp, within three days, they also wiped out more than a dozen small groups of Qing soldiers, with thousands of people with a large number and hundreds of people with a small number. Four days passed, and more than 20,000 Green Camp soldiers sent out did not come back, and more than 1,000 Eight Banners Cavalry and more than 200 Scouts Cavalry of the Manchu Eight Banners were also missing.

So many people sent out to capture Dings, but none of them came back. When thinking about this, Duoduo looked solemn. If the Green Camp soldiers were likely to defect, it would be impossible for the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia to defect, right? The only answer is that there is a powerful Ming army operating on the periphery!

"Cabin! It must be Li Laoer's cavalry! This old opponent has grown up on the Mongolian grassland since childhood and is good at cavalry fighting!" Duoduo suddenly shouted.

Tulai said: "Prince, the cavalry is not good at defending the city. Yangzhou city is full of Minggou infantry. Li Ergou must have scattered the cavalry outside."

"Send scouts to spy on the situation and you will know." Duoduo said.

Then Duoduo called Niu Lu Zhangjing, a white-armored soldier, and explained to him: "Huihe, bring two hundred white-armored soldiers to explore Minggou's military information. I will give you another thousand Mongolian cavalry to cooperate. Remember, our opponent is Li Laoer, and this person's cavalry is extremely brave. If you meet them, if you can't fight, don't fight, just send the military information back in time. When necessary, you can save yourself and let the Mongolians stay to block the enemy."

Before the evening, the scout cavalry and Mongolian cavalry sent by Duoduo came back, but the white-armored soldiers were all out of order and their heads were tilted. Many of them were covered in blood. In addition, less than half of the more than 200 white-armored soldiers who came out came back, more than 1,000 Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry were even worse. Only less than 300 people came back. What's even worse was that the Niulu Zhang Jinghui and others did not come back.

"What the hell is going on?" Duoduo called a white-armored soldier and asked with a gloomy face.

"Minggou is so powerful! It's so powerful! Their muskets are so terrible. Dozens of our brothers were beaten to death before they even saw Minggou's face. Even our master was beaten to death." The white-armored soldier said incoherently.

Duoduo's face turned pale and his anger was burning, and he shouted: "I, the warrior of the Qing Dynasty, are so vulnerable?"

The white-armored soldier was so angry that he kowtowed and begged for mercy. After a while, he sorted out the order of the words and told Duoduo everything that happened in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, more than 200 white-armored soldiers took more than 1,000 Mongolian cavalry to spy on the enemy situation, but they were ambushed by a Ming army halfway. The Ming army was not many, only more than 100, but everyone was wearing strange military uniforms and hid in the bushes more than 200 steps away, and they could not be discovered at all. When the Qing army passed by, the Ming army suddenly opened fire. Their muskets were very powerful, and they could be said to be a hundred steps through the sun. Every time a gun sounded, a white-armored soldier was shot and fell to the ground.

The bows and arrows in the hands of the white-armored soldiers could not reach them, but the Ming army's muskets could hit every shot within 150 steps!

"Where is such a musket?" Duoduo couldn't believe it.

Since the Later Jin Dynasty, why did the Jianzhou Jurchens repeatedly defeat the Ming army? It was because the range of the Ming army's bird guns, three-eyed guns and other firearms were not as good as that of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and the loading speed was slow. But now the Ming army has a musket with a range of more than 150 steps, what does this mean? In the future, the Qing army's archers will be the first to be the target of the Ming army's muskets!

"Master, I'm absolutely sure. Even Hui and his master were killed by Minggou's musket!" The white-armored soldier knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Duoduo said with a dark face: "Aren't you cavalry? No matter how powerful the Minggou musket soldiers are, can they still run away if you rush forward?"

The white-armored soldier said, "Master, you don't know anything. These Ming dog musket soldiers all have horses. They only fought for one round and turned around and rode on horses. Only then did the slaves realize that they were still hiding horses in the bushes! The horse was also covered with yellow-brown cloth and grass nets. It was impossible to tell that it was a war horse squatting on the ground. The slaves thought that those were also bushes. When the Ming dog rode on the horse and ran away, the slaves discovered that those were Ming dogs' war horses."

"You dog slaves are so many, can't you chase them?"

"The slaves were chasing, but halfway through the way, a sudden ambush Minggou cavalry suddenly appeared, with more than 2,000 people, and everyone was riding tall and big horses. Those horses were at least one horse's head higher than the slaves' war horses! The Minggou were all wearing heavy armor and invulnerable to swords and guns. As soon as they rushed over, the Mongolians were immediately defeated. If the slaves hadn't run fast, they would have sent their lives there long ago."

Duoduo said: "It turns out that those Minggou Muskets riding horses are bait. They lure you into their ambush circle and then use heavy cavalry to rush to kill them. The Mongolian cavalry can harass them. If they fight hard face to face, how can Mongolian cavalry be the opponent of heavy cavalry?"

"Yes, my master is wise!" The white-armored soldiers kowtowed one after another.

"No wonder that destroying more than 10,000 people from Tian Xiong was like cutting vegetables!" Duoduo said. In his heart, the Eight Banners Cavalry was much more powerful than the Green Camp soldiers, but when they encountered this Ming cavalry, they were defeated at once. So what was Tian Xiong's more than 10,000 Green Camp soldiers in front of such elite Ming cavalry? They were simply native chickens and tiled dogs.

The Ming army actually had an elite cavalry of about 2,000 people wandering outside Yangzhou City. This news made Duoduo feel that he had to get rid of this confidant as soon as possible.

"This Ming dog cavalry is a major concern for my Qing Dynasty! Our army has many soldiers and horses, and there is not much food left. If these Ming dogs cannot be eradicated, once they cut off my grain transport channel, my 600,000 army will be in danger!" Duoduo urgently summoned all the generals to discuss how to eliminate the two thousand Ming cavalry.

When the Qing army headed south to Yangzhou, the army carried not much military ration, and they all rely on the surrendered Ming city along the way to provide military rations. In order to carry heavy red artillery and to arrive in Yangzhou as soon as possible, the Qing army did not bring too much military rations to Yangzhou, but temporarily stored them in the surrendered cities, and sent green camp soldiers to transport food and grass every day. This Ming cavalry of two thousand people obviously posed a threat to the Qing army's rations.

Duoduo, who is familiar with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", remembered the Battle of Wuchao in the Battle of Guandu, and was chilling.

"Minggou has not yet attacked our army's food and grass at this time. Once they are allowed to discover our army's food and gas, then my 600,000 army will be in danger! This Ming army must be annihilated as soon as possible!" Duoduo said.

How to destroy this Ming army? After repeated thinking, Duoduo decided to use the 10,000 Green Camp soldiers who had achieved success as bait to attract this Ming army, and then use a 5,000 Mongolian cavalry to kill the Ming army, entangle the Ming army, and then dispatch a 10,000 elite Manchu Banner elite attacks to annihilate the two thousand Ming army in one fell swoop.

"Prince, isn't this too cautious when using a 25,000 army to deal with a mere 2,000 Mingdog?" asked the prince-in-law Li Shutai.

Although Li Lutai was a Han Chinese, his father was the famous Li Yongfang. This person was the first Ming general to surrender to the Later Jin Dynasty. Therefore, Li Yongfang had a very high status in the Qing army. Li Lutai was also the prince of the Qing army, and his status in the Qing army was no different from that in the Manchu Eight Banners. In fact, Li Lutai did not regard himself as a Han Chinese. He had long regarded himself as a Manchu Eight Banners.
