Yifeng County is the gateway to the east of Kaifeng, and it was taken over by the Jiangnan Youqin Wang Army four days ago.
The right governor of Jiangnan, Lord Kuenbu, set up his commander's military tent outside the south gate of Yifeng, and the commander did not even enter the city, he wanted to show the world through this move that with him, the loyal and loyal Kou would not want to take a step in Kaifeng.
Since Kuenbu led the army to pursue north, he has engaged six times with the size of the loyal battalion of the Ming army, except for one because of the arrival of Ming reinforcements, Kuenbu's troops were unable to deal with two Ming armies at the same time, and had to retreat for fear that the back road would be cut off, and the remaining five battles were won.
Among them, in the battle of Guide Xiayi, the original Gushan Ezhen Jin Li, who was guilty of meritorious service under the command of Kuhn's department, beheaded the white dragon of the Kou, and annihilated more than 1,000 soldiers of his department, which shocked all the big Kou for a while.
Knowing that the Qing army on the right side of Jiangnan actually pursued north, Li Laiheng, the king of Shun, was very puzzled, because when he led his troops to attack Fengyang, Jiang He, the governor of Anhui, had sent someone to ask him to withdraw his troops, saying that the Manchu Qing appointed the right governor of Jiangnan Kuenbu had already surrendered to His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and now the two sides are conducting specific consultations on the matter of surrendering, if the loyal battalion now attacks Fengyang and Lujiang, it will inevitably anger Kuenbu, thinking that the Ming Dynasty does not keep its promise and refuses to surrender again.
At that time, Li Laiheng wanted to withdraw his troops, but his subordinates refused to do so, saying that there were not many Qing troops in Fengyang and Lujiang, and they all came, so how could there be a reason to return empty-handed.
At the insistent request of a group of veteran generals, Li Laiheng had to take the risk of offending King Qi and continue to go deeper into Fengyang.
As a result, the Qing army in Lujiang quickly came to the aid of Fengyang, and brought many cannons, and the soldiers were strong and strong, although the number was small, but it was extremely elite.
If it is hard to fight, the loyal battalion will definitely suffer a lot of losses, and the situation is a bit difficult to ride.
No, the Qing Dynasty's right governor of Jiangnan, Kuenbu, also had no intention of fighting with the loyal battalion, and asked for peace through the Taiping army, and the loyal battalion bribed a large amount of gold, silver, money and grain, so that Li Laiheng finally toughened up and had an excuse to retreat.
The old generals were already frightened by the Kuenbu Department, and after getting the benefits, they no longer shouted that the ducks that reached their beaks could fly, and one by one they said that only the little tiger was obedient.
In order to solve the problem that the whole army of the loyal battalion was short of food and that all the soldiers and horses were half-dead, Li Laiheng and Liu Tichun decided to convene a meeting of leaders from all walks of life in Yongcheng to discuss the future strategy of using troops.
In the end, the Yongcheng Conference decided that the whole battalion would go north and risk death to seize Beijing, and then, the soldiers and horses of the loyal battalions operating in eastern and southern Henan were joined by the major leaders of the Yellow Dynasty, as well as the local bandits in Henan who were incorporated along the road, gathered in Guide one after another.
According to the plan formulated by Liu Tichun, the army to the north was divided into three routes, one was led by He Zhen, and he returned to Debei to attack Shan County and seize the Zhuyikou ferry; the other route was led by Wang Guangxing, and returned to the west of Germany to enter Suizhou, and then turned north to capture Kaochengdu; Both of these troops and horses had the primary task of seizing the crossing of the Yellow River, and they coordinated with each other.
The main enemy of He Zhen's army was the Qing army in Shandong, and Wang Guangxing had to guard against the Qing army in Henan.
The last road is also the main force of the whole battalion, led by Li Laiheng himself, in the center of the area of Guide Fucheng, and quickly cross the Yellow River after the other two roads of soldiers and horses succeeded, and the three roads of soldiers and horses marched together, and marched towards Beijing.
However, when He Zhenbu captured the Zhuyikou ferry, he was met with stubborn resistance from the Qing army in Shandong.
After receiving the urgent military information sent by Shanxian County, Qing Beile Tuntai, who led his troops to garrison Xuzhou, immediately led more than 4,000 Manchu and Han cavalry to set off from Dangshan, and rushed to Zhuyikou in two days, and appeared in the rear of He Zhen's department at once.
The Qing army was tired, the Ming army was even more tired, and the area around Zhuyikou was a plain terrain, and there was no favorable terrain for the Ming army to rely on.
Although the Qing army won a great victory, it was also extremely tired and did not take advantage of the situation to pursue.
After the defeat of He Zhen's right army, the only hope for the loyal battalion to cross the Yellow River was the left army led by Wang Guangxing.
Li Laiheng ordered He Zhen to lead the Right Route Army westward to join Wang Guangxing, and at the same time, he led the main force to bypass the city of Guide and enter Ningling in the northwest.
Liu Tichun personally led a cavalry to cross Ningling and rushed to Minquan to deal with the Eight Banners of the Kaifeng Qing Army, which might be dispatched.
However, just when Li Laiheng's department had just arrived in Ningling, Ma Tengyun in the rear sent an urgent report, and Kun Enbu, the right governor of the south of the Qing River in Anhui, led more than 10,000 foot riders to suddenly go north from Fengyang and go straight to Guide.
Ma Tengyun said that Kuenbu claimed that he wanted to go north to King Qin, because he only had two or three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled in his hands, and he was powerless to stop the Qing army of King Qin, and the only thing he could do was to report the news quickly, and then take his subordinates who could still run to avoid the Qing army.
Guide Mansion City is still in the hands of Zhao Chengcheng of the Qing Governor's Mansion, and because Zhao Chengcheng refused to open the door to surrender, he did not dare to open the door to attack and disturb him, so Li Laiheng did not take the potential danger of Guide Mansion City into account.
Now, things are getting a little tricky.
Ma Tengyun can't stop Kuenbu, or the other party will be able to rush to Guide in a few days, and then relying on the city of Guide Fu, he can threaten the rear wing of the loyal battalion at any time.
The soldiers and horses of Kuenbu, when they were in Fengyang, the old generals had all seen it, and knew that although there were not many soldiers and horses on the other side, they were much more elite than their own.
During the Chongzhen period, these old generals who have survived to the present no longer know the soldiers and know the soldiers, and understand that this war does not rely on a large number of people, but on the elite with a very small number of people, such as the general soldiers of the Ming Army and the "old guys" under them.
There are nearly 10,000 people in Kuenbu's army, and there are still two armies on foot, no matter how much it is discounted, the old generals believe that there will be no less than 3,000 elite warriors who can be pulled out by Kuenbu's men.
And the loyal battalion together with those bandits has a total of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and there will be no more than 30,000 people who can really fight.
Now it is divided into three roads, Wang Guangxing and He Zhen have half of them, and the remaining half has been taken by Liu Erhu to worship for civil rights, so Li Laiheng can only pull out a few thousand people here.
If you really want to get out, Li Laiheng also thinks that he can clean up that Kuenbu, but the price is really big, especially now that the strategic goal of the loyal battalion is to go north to seize the city of Beijing, not to entangle with the Qing army here in Henan.
What's worse is that Li Laiheng simply did not have enough food and grass for him to postpone his northward advance, so he turned around and cleaned up Kuenbu.
The Kuenbu tribe rushed north from Fengyang to Qinwang, and the army must not have carried much grain and grass, but there was grain in the city of Guide.
In these years, no matter how many soldiers there are, it is better to have food in hand, and if you have rice to eat, you will have enough confidence.
It is absolutely impossible for Li Laiheng to send elite troops to block Kuenbu, but it will not work if he does not block, at least, he must force the other party to stop his northward march and stay south of Guide.
Otherwise, if the other party really let the other party enter Guide City, it would be impossible for Li Laiheng to cross the Yellow River as soon as possible.
If Kaifeng learned that there was a Qing army that could fight here, no matter how stupid Ao Bai was, no matter how hard he worked, he would definitely draw troops and horses to echo Guide and prevent the loyal battalion from crossing the river.
There is no way, Li Laiheng can only let his leaders draw lots, and whoever wins the lottery will block Kuenbu.
As a result, several of the leaders who went there were successively defeated by Kuenbu's troops, and according to those who escaped, Kumanbu had a Manchurian cavalry under his command, although it was less than 2,000 men, but it was really capable of fighting.
Often before the brigades of the two sides moved, the Manchurian cavalry rushed over with a hula, and then chiseled the ranks of the Ming army.
This is how Bai Jiaolong, the leader of the Thirteen Families of Shaking Huang, was defeated by the Qing army, and he himself was surrounded by the Qing infantry who rushed up later, and finally let Jin Li cut off his head with a knife.
The main elite could not be withdrawn to resist, and successively sent soldiers and horses with low combat effectiveness to fight, except for sending heads to the other side and constantly hitting their own morale, it was useless.

Li Laiheng was so angry that he scolded Jiang He, the governor of Anhui, for raising tigers, and actually released these tens of thousands of people from under his nose.
He wrote a letter and sent it to Jiangnan to complain to the imperial court and the king of Qi.
After Bai Jiaolong was killed in battle, Li Laiheng had a hunch that Kuenbu's troops would also arrive at Guide in two or three days at the latest, and he did not send any more troops to stop him, so he urgently ordered the whole army to leave Ningling immediately and rush to the Yellow River.
Yan Ci urged Wang Guangxing to take Kaochengdu quickly, otherwise more than 100,000 people and horses would be trapped in a palm-sized place, and they would starve to death without the Qing army to advance.
After Liu Tichun learned the news, he also hurriedly sent someone to remind the little tiger that he must not be entangled with Kuenbu at this juncture, as long as he crossed the Yellow River, the situation could be fully lived. oshow7 t1706231537:
