Yue Le led the Qing army, which was less than 50,000, and was harassed by the Ming army's gangster tactics for more than half a month. Seeing Feicheng right in front of him, he was naturally overjoyed. Yue Le secretly swore in his heart that when Feicheng was replenished, he would let the southern barbarians see how the cavalry fought!

Hope is beautiful, but according to Murphy's law, if things are likely to go bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen. Translated as if Yue Le can understand it, it will be able to stuff his teeth when he is in a slight back! Yue Le and his group of Qing troops rushed to Feicheng with confidence. Five miles away from Feicheng, they found a team outside Feicheng in the distance, and the flag was hard to see clearly, but the military uniforms they were wearing were red and blue, just like the Ming army behind, chasing them closely.

Yue Le was mentally weakened by the Ming army in the past half month. When he saw the Ming army appearing on the opposite side, he asked the people around him: "Look, is there a Ming army outside Feicheng City?"

Is this still necessary to see? The blind man knows that the opposite is Ming Jun. The personal soldiers beside Yue Le said, "Prince, it is the Ming Jun's uniform. What should we do?"

Yue Le had no choice at this time. Although the battlefield information of the Qing army was not bad, they were outsiders after all. They really didn't understand the geographical situation of running to the inland Central Plains to fight guerrilla warfare. Otherwise, Yue Le could not have plunged into the Feicheng Basin, which was like a dead end.

Yue Le looked at the Ming cavalry chasing behind him, sighed and said, "It seems that the heavens are really dead, I'll wait!"

Oboi was covered in wounds in the battle these days. At this time, he said to the side: "Prince An, there is a Ming army in front of him. It is better to go back and fight to the death with the cavalry behind him than to be trapped here!"

Yue Le thought that he could only do this. After more than half a month of pursuit, the Ming army behind him was already trapped, and the Ming army opposite was waiting for the battle. It is better to go back and fight to the death now. It is better to be able to fight a bloody road. If it really doesn't work, it's better to die on the battlefield than to be caught by the Ming army.

"Okay, I'll send the orders to the Mongolian Taiji fight each other. If I rush over, I'll go to Pingyin to meet with you. If I don't, I'll have my destiny!"

After saying that, Yue Le brought his only three thousand Eight Banners of Manchus, turned his horse's head and rushed towards the Ming army behind him.

The Qing army was extremely tired, and Li Yuanyin's cavalry was similar, which was even more difficult than the Qing army. Because most of the Qing army were Mongolians, riding horses was the daily routine of the Mongolians. Some equestrians could even sleep on horseback, but the Ming army was not good. In the past half month, the Ming army was supporting it purely by willpower.

Li Yuanyin accompanied the Qing army five miles away with the cavalry. Suddenly, he found that the Qing army in front had stopped, and then turned his horses to come to him. The Ming army was chasing the Qing army for the past half month, but now the Qing army suddenly stopped running and was about to come over to fight his life. For a moment, Li Yuanyin didn't know what was going on.

Zhao Hu looked ahead and said, "Master, Feicheng County is ten miles away. The Qing army suddenly ran back and probably met our people in front! Master must be careful. Now the Qing army is the last fight, don't be scared by them!"

Li Yuanyin nodded and immediately ordered all the cavalry to dismount again, form a defensive formation, and then wait for the Qing army in full force.

But now the Qing army has learned from ghosts. Instead of fighting head-on battles with the Ming army, they sent less than 3,000 people to restrain the Ming army. Then the large army bypassed the Ming army's phalanx and headed far away in the direction of Pingyin. At this time, the shortcomings of the Folang machine cannon of the Ming cavalry were revealed. This kind of cannon range was only 500 meters and could not hit the Qing army a mile away. There was no way Li Yuanyin could only watch the Qing army bypassing him and moving his length.

Li Yuanyin saw this and scolded the Qing army, but there was nothing he could do. If you can't attack the weapon, you can only worry. Li Yuanyin had no choice but to let his subordinates get on the horse again after finishing cleaning up and follow the Qing army.

Feicheng is only more than thirty miles away from Shiheng Town at Pingyin Mountain Pass. After the Qing army, pursuers rushed to Shiheng Town at the mountain pass.

There were originally five or six hundred families in Shiheng Town, but with the war in the Central Plains, Pingyin, close to Henan, was also affected. The originally pretty good Shiheng Town has long been uninhabited, leaving only hundreds of dilapidated houses in front of the mountain pass.

The two-hour sprinting horses could no longer bear it. As soon as they stopped at Shiheng, a large number of horses from the Qing army could not afford it, and many of them foamed at the mouth and couldn't see it.

The horse that Yue Le rode was a BMW horse that was one in a million, but the trekking in the past half month and the two hours of running just now, he couldn't hold on and his four legs were trembling.

Yue Le looked at the mountain pass in front of him. The official road was only a few meters wide, only enough for three people to walk side by side. The surrounding mountains were very dangerous, and this kind of place was really a good place to ambush.

Yue Le didn't plan to pass by Pingyin, but there was no way. If you didn't walk here, you would have to take a detour back to Dongpingzhou, and then pass through Anshan Lake to return to Daming Mansion. The journey would take five or six hundred miles more. Yue Le looked at the Qing army surrounded by people and horses. Now he really had no energy to go back, so he could only pass by here, hoping that Pingyin on the other side of the official road would not be stationed in the Ming army.

Yue Le said to the captain of his personal soldiers around him: "Daishan, take five hundred people in first, walk five miles forward to see if there is any ambush. If there is any situation, come back and report it immediately!"

Yue Le planned to send someone to see the situation on Pingyin opposite first, but he didn't know that as soon as the reconnaissance team was sent out, the Ming cavalry behind him arrived. The situation in the Qing army is very dangerous now, and most of the war horses have lost their combat effectiveness. If the Mongols had no horses, many people would not walk, so they could not continue fighting. When they saw the Ming army behind him chasing him, they didn't care whether there was an ambush in front, and they rushed into the official road of the mountain pass.

Seeing this, Yue Le had no choice but to take his personal soldiers into the mountain pass with the crowd. The mountains in Pingyin are the remnants of Mount Tai in the west, and they are southwest. There are more than 800 hills in the county, including 16 with an altitude of more than 400 meters and 75 with an altitude of more than 300 meters, and the rest are below 300 meters. Among them, there are many peaks such as Baoyu Mountain, Weizi Mountain, and Hulu Mountain on this official road. The Taishan Mountains are different from the deep mountains and forests of Changbai Mountain outside the Pass. There are not many trees on the mountain, they are all stones, and they are very steep, so the cavalry cannot operate at all.

Yue Le walked while watching the surrounding mountains, and kept saying in his heart that the Buddha's blessing, don't be ambushed!

Perhaps God saw that Yue Le was in trouble in the past half month, so he decided to help him and finally sent Yue Le a good news.

The reconnaissance team sent by Yue Le came back one hour later and brought good news. There was no Ming army in Pingyin County outside the mountain pass opposite, and the county gate was wide open and there were no soldiers guarding it.

Yue Le was overjoyed when he heard this. It seemed that the clouds were clear and the moon was bright. This time it was finally my turn to leave the luck! Yue Le, who received the good news, immediately ordered his men to speed up the marching speed and strive to get out of this Jedi before dark.

Yue Le's personal soldiers were right. There was not a single soldier in Pingyin County, but it did not mean that Zhu Hongsan was not prepared.

After Zhu Hongsan and Li Yuanyin broke up, they took more than 8,000 of their own people to pack up their weapons and equipment, and set off on the road to rush to Pingyin County the next day.

Pingyin County is still the place where the Qing Dynasty is, but the local county magistrate was surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. This guy had already received news that the Ming army had begun the northern expedition. He made up his mind that as long as the Ming army arrived at the city of Pingyin County, he would immediately open the city gate and surrender, and he would not hesitate at all.

Zhu Hongsan arrived in Pingyin three days later. When the county magistrate saw the arrival of the Ming army, he quickly opened the four city gates and went out to greet him. Zhu Hongsan was too lazy to pay attention to such a small official and asked him to continue to stay.

After Zhu Hongsan came to Pingyin, he learned about the local geographical situation in detail and found that this place was really a good place to set up an ambush. The official road came from Feicheng, entered the mountainous area in Shiheng Town, and passed through multiple peaks. The road was narrow and the mountains were dangerous. It was really a Jedi!

After watching, Zhu Hongsan nodded repeatedly and said to Hou Xun beside him: "Mr. Hou, do you think of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

Of course, Hou Xun had read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but Hou Xun didn't know what the emperor asked about this? Didn't he say that the emperor was illiterate? Why did he even read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

"When I was a child, my family was poor and I had no money to listen to operas, so I could only listen to the teahouse entrance! I still remember a play called "Burning Huluyu", which was about Zhuge Liang who wanted to burn Sima Yi to death. Then it rained and Sima Yi got a way out! I wonder if Mr. Hou had seen it?"

Hou Xun was a great scholar and studied history, poetry, songs, and of course he knew this kind of opera.

"What Your Majesty can say is "Sima of the Shangfanggu is trapped, Wuzhangyuan Zhuge Shengxing" this time?"

"Yes, it's this drama. In the end, Sima Yi ran away. Zhuge Yaodao saw that God didn't help him, so he couldn't breathe a sigh of anger!"

Hou Xun heard Zhu Hongsan say the eight ways here, but Hou Xun knew when to say what to say in the officialdom. After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, Hou Xun nodded with a smile and said, "Your Majesty is knowledgeable and talented, and history is just as Your Majesty said!"

Yao Qisheng is also a juren. Although he is not as knowledgeable as Hou Xun, he knows that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is very different from history. There is no such thing as Shangfanggu in the official history "The Three Kingdoms". But seeing Hou Xun telling lies with his eyes open, he wrote a word "superfacing" in his heart! No wonder Hou Xun can be a high-ranking official, and this shameless spirit is enough to learn for a while!

Zhu Hongsan was overjoyed when he heard Hou Xun echoing him, pointed at the official and said, "Look, this is another valley on the upper side! I decided to set up an ambush here and kill that bastard Yue Le in one fell swoop! What do you think?"

In ancient China, in addition to strategy, there were few tactics to use tactics. Because the battlefield was ever-changing and could not be estimated in advance, Zhuge Liang's tricks could only appear in the novel. Zhu Hongsan also knew that according to normal combat, Zhu Hongsan should guard the county town, block Yue Le's cavalry with his own firearms, and then wait for the arrival of reinforcements to finally wipe out the Qing army.

But to put it simply, Zhu Hongsan had less than 8,000 people in his hands, and his weapons and gunpowder were only half of the usual ones. If he had to face 40,000 or 50,000 Qing troops, he might not be able to win. So after careful consideration, Zhu Hongsan decided to use some tricks!
