At this time, the soldiers who came from the north gate reported outside the gate, "General, the enemy has attacked again!"

Jiang Quanyi wiped his tears and stood up, "If you want to keep, take the three hundred reserve teams and go to Chenghuang Temple to fight the enemy. From now on, there will be no orders. Let's fight each other... If you want to leave, go out from the East Gate, go to the East Sea Zhongsou, and then find a boat to cross the sea. When you see the prince, ask him for me, if he does it again, will he choose to make a Northern Expedition in one go, or will he still accumulate strength and wait for a good opportunity?"

After saying that, Jiang Quanyi took his escort to the north gate.

Behind him, everyone was silent.

Then, a man lifted up the musket on the gun stand, carried it on his shoulder, and went out in the opposite direction.

Then, the second, the third...

No one goes east, although the east is facing the sea, it is the only way to live.

But in the eyes of these veterans who have experienced many battles, perhaps, dying while standing is much more enjoyable than living while kneeling.

....

"grown ups……."

Qingyin's face was pale. She always called Chen Zhiyuan as an adult, perhaps it was a kind of memory of her past experience.

He was stroking Chen Zhiyuan on Dong'e's abdomen, and he didn't raise his head, "What's the matter... Didn't you see that I'm busy? By the way, the princess is about to give birth, you go and call the midwife in the Dong'e..."

Qingyin did not move, she continued to shout softly: "Sir..."

Chen Zhiyuan paused, and he turned around in confusion, looked at Qingyin, and then suddenly changed his smile and said to Dong E who was in pain in Shenyin, "I have sent someone to inform the prince... The midwife will arrive soon, you can bear it first."

Dong'e grabbed Chen Zhiyuan's hand, "Mr....I'm afraid."

Chen Zhiyuan looked at Qingyin helplessly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Qingyin hesitated for a moment and glanced at Dong'e. Seeing that Chen Zhiyuan did not respond, he could only report truthfully: "Two days ago, Prince Rui ordered Jixiha to lead 5,000 cavalrymen in the Yellow Banner, and Lan Bai led 12,000 new troops to set off from Yanzhou... Jixiha attacked Shuyang, Lan Bai attacked Ganyu, and the ultimate goal was... Haizhou."

Chen Zhiyuan showed a horrified expression, "Fart! How could this be possible... Why didn't I know why no one came to know me? It must be a mistake. How could the prince be so stupid that he was a gunman by the court?"

Facing Chen Zhiyuan's hideous swearing, Qingyin looked at Chen Zhiyuan quietly.

Chen Zhiyuan slowly became stiff, and he suddenly realized that this matter... should be true.

Although Dorbo had a grudge against the court, he was a Manchu after all. When dealing with foreign enemies, Dorbo's butt determined his position, not to mention that starting this battle would outweigh the disadvantages.

Taking advantage of the situation to capture Haizhou, Huai'an Prefecture is like an unclothed beauty, exposed under the army of Yanzhou.

And all the attention was attracted to the Jianxin Dynasty of Fengyang Prefecture, I am afraid there would be no time to send troops to reinforce Haizhou. No matter how fast the speed was, it would be good to be able to defend Yangzhou Prefecture.

Chen Zhiyuan could hardly see that the three thousand defenders in Shuyang and five or six thousand Haizhou could not stop the attack of the new army.

This made Chen Zhiyuan feel hunched. He opened his mouth slightly and looked at Dong'e tightly.

Dong'e, who had been crying for pain, was shocked by this strange look and looked at Chen Zhiyuan blankly.

"I finally understand." Chen Zhiyuan said.

"What do you... understand?"

"Why did your brother send me to Qingzhou and ask you to accompany you?" Chen Zhiyuan said without expression, "Support me away to facilitate mobilizing the new army. Dorbo knew that with me in Ziyang, Ganglin, Qi Chongge, even if Lan Bai and Jixiha were added, he would not be able to mobilize the new army to fight against South..."

Dong E was frightened by Chen Zhiyuan's mute expression, and she said anxiously: "No... it's not like this... I'm just for your own good!"

"Let a noble Durogue to accompany me who is unemployed and enjoy a happy life in Yidu, it is indeed for my own good." Chen Zhiyuan suddenly laughed, "Do you know... no, you should know that I am a Han person."

Speaking of this, Chen Zhiyuan suddenly turned around and walked out the door.

Dong'e shouted behind her, "Where are you going?"

Chen Zhiyuan said without looking back: "Haizhou."

Dongoji said: "Haizhou is already a battlefield, and there are only more than a hundred guards around the prince..."

"Then I will die with Jiang Quanyi... This is what I owe him!"

Dong'e let out a heart-wrenching cry. She knew that maybe she had never really owned this man.

Maybe everything just comes from her beautiful imagination.

....

In fact, Changlin Wei's speed of spreading news is safer than that of the scouts in the army.

Because of the transmission of news, Changlin Wei is point to point, just like a relay race.

The scouts in the army need to rely on their own efforts to avoid the enemy scouts' sight. Sometimes, it will take a long time to avoid it.

When Wu Zheng received the news that the Qing army raided Shuyang, it was actually time for the offensive and defensive war in Haizhou to break out.

Indeed, the news came too late, and even if you put wings on it, there would be no time to reinforce.

Today, the two prefectures of Xuzhou and Fengyang were directly under the Qing court, while Yanzhou and Qingzhou were controlled by Dorbo. Huai'an Prefecture is adjacent to the sea to the east, which means it is only connected to Yangzhou Prefecture to the south.

Because of the retreat of the First Army and the guards to the south, Yangzhou Prefecture had 6,000 troops stationed in Jiangdu, as well as Xinghua City, and some of Zu Dabi's infantry who surrendered after Huai'an City was captured.

After surrendering, Zu Dabi led his cavalry to break through the south by Wu Zheng, intending to open up the connection between Huai'an and Taizhou. Later, he was blocked by enemy cavalry south of Xinghua. He joined forces with Chi Erhan's troops who happened to be rushing to defeat the enemy cavalry and obtained many war horses.

Afterwards, Qian Qiaogong wanted to form a cavalry, and Zu Dabi used war horses as bargaining chips to exchange for the position of deputy commander of the Fenglei Cavalry.

The infantry under Zu Dabi was temporarily trapped in Xinghua without a suitable place.

This remnant soldier is not large, only three or four thousand.

Therefore, no matter how Wu Zheng searches for the army that can be reinforced nearby, it will be futile.

In a furious manner, Wu Zheng immediately ordered Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Yilin to load 6,000 Wusongwei troops at Wusongkou and rushed north. If the sea was lost, the Andongwei (the southernmost tip of the Linhai in Qingzhou) was bombarded and landed forcibly, launching an attack with the purpose of cutting off the retreat route of the enemy troops in attacking Haizhou.

At the same time, the First Army was ordered to quickly assemble and transport troops from the railway day and night to Wusongkou.

Finally, the Shi Lang Navy was ordered to prepare a ferry and transport the First Army from Wusongkou to Tongzhou on the other side within three days.

These three military orders are equivalent to opening the curtain of the war.

At this time, Xiong Rulin, Mo Zhinian, who was controversial with Wu at the time, and Mo Zhinian and Zhang Guowei who came after hearing the news, expressed strong objections to the matter.

They almost unanimously opposed the decisive battle with the Qing court at this time.
