Shang Kexi was helpless, so he could only order the counties in the rear to raise food, and summoned the peasants to transport the food to the Qing army camp.

in case for need!

Because Shang Kexi knew that it was not that simple to win this battle.

But what he was more worried about was not the stalemate in the war situation, but what was going on in Guangzhou.

There was no news from Guangzhou, which made Shang Kexi feel uneasy.

Although he knew that it was unlikely that Guangzhou would remain intact, he still had some unrealistic expectations in his heart.

……

"After the Qing army launched a tentative attack on Daze and Duruan towns, they stopped mobilizing troops and camped in place until the food and grass arrived from the rear."

"And repair the soldiers and horses!"

"The current Qing army is short of food and grass, and the soldiers are exhausted from the long-distance march. In addition, they have just arrived in Xinhui and their foothold is not stable. It is a great opportunity for me, Ming, to take the initiative and defeat the enemy in one battle!"

Chief of Staff Xu Bin said.

Originally, the Ming army's plan was to stick to Guifeng Mountain and force the Qing army to take the initiative to attack.

After defeating the Qing army's front in the defensive battle, they launched a counterattack and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, the Qing army did not take the initiative to attack this time, but chose to camp and stick to it.

In this way, the Ming army can only take the initiative to attack for its own physical and strategic advantages!
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly when he heard the words, and made a final decision.

"Order the army to move to Daze Town!"

"If the Qing army wants to stick to it, then I, Daming, will take the initiative to attack!"

"..."

Following Zhu Hongyu's order, the Ming army began to prepare to move the camp and take the initiative to attack.

The Ming army began to pull out the camp and advance to the front line.

……

On the other side, Shang Kexi finally received the news that Guangdong City was broken.

After learning that the inner city of Guangdong was turned into a sea of ​​flames under the fire, and tens of thousands of bannermen were buried in the sea of ​​flames, Shang Kexi's eyes darkened and he almost fainted.

"It's over!"

"I, Ping Nanfan, are completely finished!"

After saying this, Shang Kexi rolled his eyes and passed out.

You know, his family lives in the inner city of Guangzhou.

Now even if he was lucky enough not to die in the flames, he must have fallen into the hands of the Ming army.

Now, he is gratifying to be taken over by others!
Several close generals supported Shang Kexi, and invited the medical officers in the army to come to make Shang Kexi feel good.

Shang Kexi woke up leisurely, the first sentence he spoke was.

"Block the news, don't let the soldiers know what happened in Guangzhou!"

"Notify the whole army, saying that the king has received help from Guangzhou. Although Guangzhou is in a critical situation, we can still continue to fight. As long as we defeat the bright thieves in front of us and return to help Guangzhou, Guangzhou will be fine!"

In order to ensure the morale of the army, Shang Kexi must not allow the news of the fall of Guangzhou to spread.

Once Guangzhou fell, news spread that the Bannermen in the inner city were almost extinct, which could indeed inspire the Eight Banners soldiers in the Qing army to mourn.

As a result, the Eight Banners of the Han Army under Shang Kexi's natural combat power greatly increased!

However, among the nearly [-] troops currently led by Shang Kexi, the real main force is not a few thousand Eight Banners soldiers, but tens of thousands of Green Battalions.

The news of the fall of Guangzhou can really inspire the fighting power and fighting spirit of the Eight Banners soldiers!
But what about Green Camp?

The banner people in the inner city of Guangzhou are all dead, so what's the matter with them green battalion soldiers?

Knowing that Guangzhou fell, the morale of the green battalion soldiers must have been hit hard.

The morale of tens of thousands of green battalions is gone, how can thousands of Eight Banners be able to take the lead? !

Therefore, Shang Kexi must not let the news of the fall of Guangzhou spread.

In order to prevent Night Changing and Dreaming, Shang Kexi even ordered that after receiving the first batch of food and grass from the rear, he immediately mobilized troops to attack the Ming army in front of him.

The armies of the Ming and Qing Dynasties began to move toward each other, and the distance became closer and closer.

The armies of both sides are constantly advancing towards Daze Town!
The Ming army marched halfway, and Zhu Hongyu received the news that the Qing army was marching again.

However, at this time, the Ming army had left Guifeng Mountain and could never return.

Zhu Hongyu had no choice but to order that the Ming army continue to advance in the direction of Daze Town, preparing to set up camp in Daze Town.

The forces of Duruan Town were also mobilized and assembled towards Daze Town.

……

On the battlefield outside Daze Town, the cavalry of both sides had a tentative confrontation.

In the battle of riding and archery, as well as the competition of skills and tactics on horseback, the Ming army fell to an absolute disadvantage.

However, due to the luxurious equipment of the Ming army, the cavalry of the Qing army did not take much advantage.

Daming's cavalry is limited, so these few cavalry are all baby bumps.

Steel breastplate scimitars, special short-barreled lances, hand crossbows for cavalry, armor for war horses...

Zhu Hongyu's idea of ​​​​building an army for the cavalry is that since the quality of the soldiers is not as good as that of the Qing army, then use equipment to pile up combat effectiveness.

The two sides fought for a while outside Daze Town, and the Ming army suffered a small loss and quickly returned to Daze Town.

Under the firepower projection in Daze Town, the Qing army did not dare to continue to pursue and expand the results of the battle.

Zhu Hongyu saw the scene of cavalry confrontation between Ming and Qing on the battlefield, put down the binoculars in his hand, and said with a sigh.

"In terms of cavalry, I, Ming, still need to work hard!"

Zhang Meng knelt in front of Zhu Hongyu on one knee, pleading guilty in a tone full of shame.

"Your Highness, the last general is incompetent and has failed His Highness' trust!"

Now the total number of cavalry in the Guangfu Army is just over [-], which is the size of a brigade, and Zhang Meng is the commander of the cavalry brigade.

He has good abilities, and he is dedicated to commanding the army training, and most importantly, he is very loyal to Zhu Hongyu.

However, the gap in the number of soldiers is not so easy to make up!

Zhu Hongyu patted Zhang Meng on the shoulder and said.

"keep it up!"

"The training volume of cavalry units still needs to be raised!"

"The number of cavalry in our army is not as good as that of the Qing captives. If it is far behind in quality, the cavalry will have no way to fight!"

Zhang Meng nodded vigorously.

The small-scale cavalry confrontation between the two sides ended, and the main force of the Qing army also appeared outside Daze Town.

The big flag representing Shang Kexi's identity fluttered high, and the Qing character flag fluttered with the wind.

Tens of thousands of cavalry came rolling over, like a dark cloud spreading over the land.

The hooves of the war horse almost crushed the ground.

The knight on horseback is wearing cotton armor, wearing a tall lightning rod, holding a bow and holding a knife, majestic and majestic.

A cavalryman of the Qing army was ups and downs on the horseback, and the cavalry galloped and drove, cooperating seamlessly.

The array seems to be loose, but it is actually quite organized. The distance between the various establishments is very close, and there is no confusion at all.

As long as the Chinese army gives an order, it is only a blink of an eye for the well-trained Qing cavalry to change their formation.

Smoke and dust billowed, footsteps stepped on the yellow sand all over the sky, and countless Qing army infantry appeared at the end of Zhu Hongyu's sight.

Zhu Hongyu unconsciously clenched the telescope in his hand.

This is the first time he has seen such a big scene!

Once there are more than [-] people, there are no boundaries, not to mention, the soldiers under Shang Kexi's command are not only over [-], but a total of [-] soldiers!
