The Qing army was extremely dissatisfied. They went south several times and had never gained nothing like this today. Before, they all went south and ransacked and killed, robbed the property of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and captured women and men and women and men back as slaves.

But this time, not only did they find nothing but also threw down thousands of corpses in Qifeng Mountain. Who would have thought that the other party was only the Three Hundred Ming Army.

Morale was low and the soldiers were full of complaints. In addition, there was no precedent for the Ming army to take the initiative to pursue the main force of the Qing army.

The Ming army has always been a weak chicken to be slaughtered. They just relied on the solid city walls and sharp artillery. When the Ming army fought on the decisive battle on the plains, the Ming army was always as defeated as sand.

But the emperor asked us to retreat at this time, which made the Qing army even more resentful. However, the Qing army's military orders were really strict. Besides, who dared not to obey the emperor's orders?

The three armies had to set off again, and the facts once again proved that Huang Taiji was right. Putting aside hostile relationship, Huang Taiji was indeed a talented tactical commander with close contact.

Although this person was the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty, what Zhu Cilang was most annoying was the literati who maliciously belittled Huang Taiji. They often portray Huang Taiji as a useless mental retarded. Although it was for publicity needs, it would kill people on the battlefield.

It is not difficult to admit your enemy's excellence. You must learn to respect your opponent and fear your opponent. Only then can you know your shame and turn defeat into victory, find your weaknesses and defeat him.

Zhu Cixuan never dared to underestimate Huang Taiji. Not only him, there were many powerful generals and brave generals in the Qing army. Daishan, Dorgon, Jiergalang, Dodo, Ajige, and traitor Fan Wencheng and Turge. The younger generation included Oboi, Zhuobutai, Tulai, Ebilong, Yangguli, Tan Tai, etc.

Each of these people can stand on their own. In the future, they will be the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

"Wow~!" Hong Chengchou and others who were chasing ahead stopped, and then Zhu Cilang's Hu Ben Army followed.

"Your Highness, you see, the Qing cavalry has been stationed here for rest." Hong Chengchou pointed to the scattered footprints on the ground and the marks left by camping.

Zhu Cixuan looked around and Huang Taiji was really smart. Even the place he chose for a short rest was in a great location. The terrain here was wide and higher than other places. Once the enemy attacked, they could find it from afar and react quickly.

"Zhan Yunpeng, Linghu Yunlong, what do you think?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

To be honest, when it comes to marching and fighting, Zhu Cilang is really inferior to them. What makes him feel relieved is that these two people at least have the same reputation as soldiers.

Zhan Yunpeng and Linghu Yunlong observed the surroundings, and further forward there were mountain roads with many mountains. If they continued to pursue them, they would easily be ambushed by Huang Taiji.

"Your Highness, let our Huben Camp be the pioneer." Linghu Yunlong said.

"What do you mean is to continue pursuing?" Hong Chengchou was stunned. His general Bai Guangen and Wang Tingchen were even more shocked. They had been fighting with the Qing army for a long time and knew the power of the Qing army. If they pursued blindly, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Yunpeng nodded: "Yes, it's just that this pursuit allows us to be pioneers."

Zhu Cilang was already unsure of it, and it was enough to chase this place. If he continued to pursue, he would be afraid that he would be ambushed by Huang Taiji. But Zhan Yunpeng and Linghu Yunlong insisted, and he pondered for a moment: "The Hu Ben Army is the vanguard, continue to pursue!"

"Your Highness," Hong Chengchou bowed: "Your Highness thinks twice, and the mountains ahead are high and dense forests. If Huangtai is extremely entrusted, it may be inappropriate."

Zhu Cilang glanced at Zhan Yunpeng and Linghu Yunlong, and saw that both of them nodded slightly. Zhu Cilang smiled slightly: "I believe in them, send orders to pursue!"

In fact, Hong Chengchou and his friends were not redundant. It might be possible to pursue Huangtaiji in a gentle area, but it would be not far from Haitang Mountain. The mountains were high and dense forests were dense. If Huangtaiji set up an ambush on the road. Zhu Cixuan and the others continued to pursue, they would be very likely to be killed by the Qing soldiers.

But Zhan Yunpeng and Linghu Yunlong insisted that Zhu Cixuan believed in the vision of them. At this moment, he ordered the three armies to continue pursuing. Perhaps this was the time when the Hu Ben Camp first showed its edge.

Hong Chengchou and others were frightened, but they could not resist the prince's insistence. They could only grit their teeth and pursue him. At the same time, Hong Chengchou deliberately extended the front line to avoid being surrounded by the ambush set up by Huang Taiji.

Next was the moment when Hong Chengchou and his team opened their eyes. They had never seen a unit that cooperated so well. This Hu Ben Army seemed to be born to prepare for war. They crossed mountains and ridges and pursued along the traces of the Qing army's retreat.

Weizigou, the back of Qifeng Mountain.

In front of Qifeng Mountain is where the Qi family army blocked Huangtaiji. On the back, Huangtaiji also arranged a surprise soldier. Prince Ying, Adali, led the Qing soldiers of Zhenghong Banner to set up an ambush here, and Duoduo Baiqi assisted it. The two banners had a total of 2,000 people.

The Ming army was pursuing too many cavalrymen. Moreover, Qifengshan is not suitable for heavy ambushing. Even these two thousand people could not be squeezed out because the special terrain of Qifengshan was really unable to squeeze out. Adali could only set up three ambushing lines in front and back.

The first route ahead was five hundred people led by Adali, seven hundred people from Duoduo in the middle, and eight hundred people led by Fucha Shitu, a general under Duoduo.

Adali's purpose was that if there were pursuers from the Ming army coming, his first ambush circle did not attack. Instead, after the Ming army entered the Duoduo ambush circle in the middle, he and Fucha Shitu's ambushing front and back blocked the retreat, cooperated with Duoduo to wipe out the invading enemy.

This tactic is extremely insidious. If the Ming army catches up, it is likely that none of them will escape. Because at that time, Adali and Shitu cut off the roads in the valley behind Qifeng Mountain, and the Ming army will really become a turtle in the jar.

The back of Qifeng Mountain is even more steep, and these two thousand Qing soldiers are likely to destroy the entire Ming army that is chasing. Even the well-trained Hu Ben Army will be unable to turn things around after entering the ambush circle.

But Zhan Yunpeng and Linghu Yunlong still insisted on pursuing, and Hong Chengchou and others were frightened along the way. They could only pray for God's blessing, and there were no Qing soldiers setting up ambush along the way.

Zhu Ciyang believed in them, and he believed in the abilities of Zhan Yunpeng and Linghu Yunlong. He also believed in the Tiger Ben Army he built, which was just starting out and urgently needed a battle to become famous all over the world.

In fact, except for those who stayed in Jinzhou City, the Hu Ben Army who followed Zhu Cilang only brought 800 people. With more than 1,000 people from Hong Chengchou, the Ming army was actually only 2,000 people pursuing. In terms of the number of people alone, it is comparable to the Qing soldiers who ambushed them.

However, wars never determine the outcome based on the number of people. In the end, no one knows whether Zhu Cilang can defeat Adali's ambush.
