"Your Majesty, the Donglu have already broken out of camp.
Your Majesty is really wise and mighty, and he has no plans left."
This time Gao Jie was not flattering, but really admired Zhu Cihong.
"Oh, Gao Qing might have seen that Donglu was heading in that direction."
Zhu Cixiang sat upright and nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, Donglu is heading east."
Gao Jie felt very excited and his breathing became a little short.
"Exactly as His Majesty expected." interesting Zhu Cixiang said secretly in his heart.
In fact, he could not fully predict that Luck Dehun would break camp and march eastward.
This is all speculation.
Zhu Cihong ordered Gao Jie to send elite cavalry to rush out of the Qing army's camp at night and set fire to create chaos, thereby taking the opportunity to burn the Qing army's food and grass.
Even faced with such a dilemma, Luck Dehun still had other options.
The reason why Zhu Cihong speculated that Luck Dehun would march towards Texas was from a psychological perspective.
Luck Dehun was a Manchu aristocrat with a well-established background.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty believed in the idea of respecting the strong and earning military merit on horseback.
Although Luck Dehun is Baylor, he has to abide by this rule.
In this case, Luck Dehun would definitely not choose to withdraw his troops in disgrace.
In this way, even if he returned to Beijing, he would definitely be severely reprimanded by Dorgon and deprived of his right to lead troops, becoming a completely idle aristocrat.
This is something Luck Dehun doesn’t want to see anyway.
Therefore, he could not retreat, but could only make meritorious deeds.
But how to get rid of the crime and make meritorious service?
All the food and grass stored by the army led by Luck Dehun were burned.
The Huotou Battalion may only have one or two days of rations on hand, and even if they kill horses, they won't be able to last long.
There is no point in staying in Linqing.
However, the Duoduo tribe, the strongest among the three Qing armies, is attacking Dezhou.
At this time, Luck Dehun would of course want to join Duduo.
Although this way his limelight will be completely overshadowed by Duduo, it is better than being accused of a hasty defeat.
In other words, it's better to follow Dodo's butt and smell farts than to do it alone.
But then there is a problem.
The Qing army's rations were not large, and even if they saved money, they would not be able to survive for a few days.
Luck Dehun will definitely order a rapid march at full speed.
This is not a problem originally.
The Han Banner and the Meng Banner basically have one person, two horses or even three horses.
If you change the horses, you can keep going quickly.
But the green camp soldiers can't.
Most of them are infantry, and few of them have horses, and even those who do ride alone.
And if you ride a mount for a long time, the horse is likely to die from exhaustion.
Not to mention the ordinary infantrymen who used two legs to chase the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners.
Therefore, when Luck Dehun ordered a rapid march towards Dezhou, it meant that the Qing army would be disconnected.
The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army will rush to the front, followed by the thinly-drawn Green Camp Army.
At this time, Luck Dehun didn't have the energy to care about the life and death of the Green Camp soldiers.
If Zhu Cihong can take the opportunity to swallow up this part of the army, it will have a decisive impact on the entire war situation.
It seems that the Green Camp Army's combat effectiveness is not strong, but they are the largest in number.
Most of the time, the Green Camp soldiers are used by the Qing army for consumption.
After the Green Camp soldiers charge for one round, the Han Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the Manchu Eight Banners will charge.

And if the Green Camp Army is gone, the Eight Banners of the Qing Army will have to go into battle in person, and there will be no other choice.
Gao Jie once wiped out a large part of the Green Camp Army during the Northern Expedition in Henan and Beizhili.
The part of the Green Camp now led by Luck Dehun is actually part of the army brought back by Duduo from Shanxi.
If the Ming army wiped out this part of the green camp troops, the only green camp troops in the areas controlled by the Qing army would be those in Shaanxi.
Zhu Cixiang thought carefully and then said loudly: "Pass the order, order the cavalry to go out of the city to pursue the Donglu, and behead the first-level soldiers for fifty taels of silver, as well as the heads of the Green Camp soldiers.
Another person was sent to inform Qin Gongming, the commander-in-chief of Dezhou, and Leke Dehun has marched towards Texas."
Gao Jie was overjoyed when he heard this.
The emperor is really willing to spend money.
The first-level reward for beheading is fifty taels of silver, which refers to the reward for beheading a real prisoner.
And His Majesty now actually said that beheading the green camp soldiers is also equivalent to beheading the real prisoners, which will definitely stimulate the soldiers' desire to fight.
"I obey the decree" Gao Jie cupped his hands and Shen Ran accepted the order.
"Master Beile, drink some water and rest before marching."
Shi Tingzhu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said helplessly.
"Well, order the entire army to take a rest on the spot."
Luckard said calmly.
Ever since he broke camp and marched to Texas, Luck Dehun was like a panicked rabbit, lashing his whip desperately to drive his mount away for fear that the thieves would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
Shi Tingzhu felt that this worry was unnecessary.
How dare the Ming thieves go out of the city to pursue them now that they are all huddled in the city?
Don’t they know how many pounds they have?
Even if you can defend a fortified city, if you go out to fight in the field, you will be massacred.
But it was obvious that Luck Dehun was frightened and refused to listen to Shi Tingzhu's dissuasion.
He insisted on letting the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners go first, with the Green Camp soldiers following behind.
At first, the green soldiers could barely keep up, but as time went on, the distance grew wider.
This is also something that can't be helped.
One is infantry and the other is cavalry.
If the cavalry is not equal, how can the infantry keep up?
This means that the army led by Luck Dehun was artificially divided into two sections.
That's all, since things are already like this, Shi Tingzhu doesn't want to say anything more.
Let's wait until the army and Prince Yu meet up before making any calculations.
Luckard kicked off his horse, wiped his face with a sweat towel, took out the cowhide water bag from his waist, opened the stopper and poured it into his mouth.
He was so thirsty that he drank a whole water bag before stopping.
“How long will it take to get to Texas?”
Luckard wiped the corners of his mouth and asked casually.
"It's hard to say.
If you hurry up, you can get there in two days."
"Two days" Luckard frowned and said: "It's too slow.
Is it the same when changing horses and riding and marching?"
Shi Tingzhu was speechless.
This is already the speed of changing horses.
If you don't change horses and run for thirty miles, you will have to rest.
"Yes, this is already the fastest speed."
"That's all, let's just take two days.
Give the order and rest for half an hour before setting off."
Luckdhun waved his hand impatiently.
At this moment, a horse suddenly came from a distance.

"Master Beile, the thief is chasing me."
The rider galloped to Luck Dehun's side, jumped off his horse and shouted.
"What" Luckard subconsciously took a step back and said in surprise: "Are they crazy?
They dare to go out of the city to pursue them."
The rider was obviously dressed as a green camp soldier and cried: "We are all infantry and cannot outrun the Ming thieves.
Now the Ming thieves have surrounded us, and the slaves fought to the death to fight a bloody way.
Please ask Lord Baylor to lead the army to come back for reinforcements
