The first thousand and sixty-fifth chapters are no coincidence
This Qing army that suddenly emerged was of great origin.
If there were still people in the former Xuzhou garrison controlled by Ajige who were loyal to the Qing court rather than Ajige personally, then he was the only one - Luo Keduo, the prince of Doropingbi.
Luo Keduo, who was 28 years old at the time, was entrusted by Bumubute to protect the successor Prince Doni (son of Dodo), under the dynasty's remnants of Dorgon, and originally wanted to hide in the army and avoid this limelight.
But unexpectedly, Ajige did not lead his army to reinforce Xuzhou at that time in accordance with the imperial decree, but stayed in Fengyang Prefecture, intending to preserve his strength and compete with the imperial court.
Luo Keduo's advice failed many times and could only remain silent.
But in private, I can communicate information with the court, so naturally I will definitely not escape Ajige's eyes and ears after a long time.
In this way, the momentum between the two will be like water and fire.
Rocodon was worried about the safety of Doni around him and was afraid of being trusted by Bumubute.
He had long been interested in breaking away from the Ajig army and returning to Gyeonggi.
Just in time, Li Guoguangxinwei made an abnormal movement and attacked Linhuai.
In the Battle of Tianchang, the Qing army suffered a loss, and Shi Kun's troops reinforced Tianchang's "bandits", which could no longer be hidden from Ajige.
Naturally, Ajige also thought that the enemy army in Tianchang was intended to be Sizhou, which was also the reason why Ajige sent reinforcements to Linhuai while sending another reinforcement to Sizhou.
Taking advantage of the rush of Ajige to deal with the juncture of the war, Luo Keduo took the initiative to ask for the battle, expressing his willingness to lead his 900 cavalry in front of the white flag to Hengyang Town from the south of the capital Liangshan Mountain to cut off the enemy's retreat to attack Sizhou, so as to cooperate with the Qing army in Sizhou to form a force of internal and external attacks, front and back attacks.
Azig originally didn't want to agree, he wanted to circle Rocodo and Doni because this was another bargaining chip for him to compete with the court.
But at present, although Ajige does not lack soldiers, he lacks generals.
Luo Keduo is a brave general and has a handsome talent.
The key point is that Rocodo only brought his white-flag cavalry operation, which made Aziger moved and finally agreed to Rocodo's request.
Luo Keduo's cavalry inlaid with white flags were actually only part of the white flags, and the number was not large, only Erniulu and 600 cavalry.
It is naturally impossible for the real main force of the Manying White Banner to garrison the capital and to come to Fengyang Prefecture.
This is also the common structure of the Qing army at this time. It is often a small part of the Manchu and Han Banners, and is also given a large number of surrendered Qingming Army or newly recruited Han New Army. It is known to be a banner army to the outside world. On the one hand, it can achieve intimidation effect and on the other hand, it can also solve the problem of insufficient Eight Banners Army.
But Rocodo's cavalry is indeed full of cavalry. Although there are only 600 cavalry, if you really want to fight head-on, your combat power must not be underestimated.
Luo Keduo led this direct cavalry and moved quickly.
In any key pass, no town can stay.
Naturally, they would not deliberately alarm the people along the way. In fact, Luo Keduo's purpose was very simple. He occupied Hengyang Town, cut off the retreat route of the Northern Expedition Army, and after winning this battle, he would no longer return to the building. Instead, he went north from Hongze Lake north of Hengyang through the Grand Canal waterway to Xuzhou. Doerbo was Donni's cousin. As long as he went to Xuzhou, Doerbo could naturally protect Donni.
But Luo Keduo never expected that he had encountered a strange thing that he had never encountered in his life, which directly led to the death of Doni, who was only sixteen years old, in vain outside Hengyang Town. He followed his father Duoduo, who had been dead for many years.
....
The cavalry of Rocodo is a light cavalry, and it is as fast as lightning.
In addition, this dispatch was a sudden decision. Few generals in Fengyang City knew about it, so it was impossible for natural intelligence to leak.
Luo Keduo would not think about being ambushed at all. Besides, who can ambush such a very fast light cavalry?
If you really encounter some thieves who are blind, six hundred cavalry can flatten them in minutes.
Therefore, Roccodo only urged the team to accelerate, and would not send multiple scouts to reconnaissance and slow down like when they were in real combat.
When crossing the river at Dabaikou, Rocodou also said to Doni around him: "...The Han people are weak and timid, but they are good at strategy, so they are not afraid. If they are afraid of them, they will be as docile as cattle and sheep..."
Doni seemed to disagree with Luo Keduo's words. He looked at the river in sorrow and said, "But Shaoxing Mansion... there is a Wu Zheng."
Luo Keduo sternly said: "You are the successor of Prince Yu, the successor of Prince Yu Duoduo... Prince Yu was not killed in battle in a dignified manner, but was killed by the Southern Barbarian's trick! You must avenge your Ama, cut off the head of the Southern Barbarian, and pay tribute to your Ama's spirit in heaven!"
Speaking of this, Rocodou pointed to Hengyang not far away and shouted to Doni, "It's a small town, with thousands of Han people... Go to the front team, go to the town, kill them, and practice your courage!"
....
A trail that is only five feet wide is enough for three riders to drive together.
More than 600 riders lined up in a long snake shape.
Logically, veterans like Roccodo, who have been on the battlefield for a long time, should realize that this kind of marching is the easiest to be attacked and difficult to deal with.
But the smooth march along with Roccodo's heart full of confidence, he was careless.
In fact, it is only less than ten miles from the ferry entrance to Hengyang Town.
But more than half of this road is walking around the mountains.
To say it is a mountain, it is to the north, that is, hills.
Moreover, there are basically no trees on the mountains like the south. If there are, they are also small trees. At first glance, there are shrubs and gravels.
So, Roccodo became even more careless.
The team was moving very quickly. After turning around, you could see the smoke from the town in the distance.
The Qing soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief, and even showed a hideous smile on their lips.
Because there are towns, especially those of the southerners, for them, it is a gold digging cave and a gentle place.
The long snake-shaped marching queue is about 20% when it turns around.
Changes happened.
A violent explosion directly overturned seven or eight war horses, and even two or three cavalrymen were torn apart by the explosion, and the scene was terrible.
The Qingqi reacted quickly, and the horses behind stopped, and the ones in front accelerated and continued to move forward. Near the explosion range, they rushed into the paddy field in panic.
Rocodon was shocked, but he was not panicked, and even clamored, "There were not many casualties, why don't you panic... Disperse, rush up, and seek the enemy!"
At this time, Rocodo reacted to one thing, that is, Doni was in the front army.
Luo Keduo was a little anxious at this time and shouted at his personal soldiers: "You guys, go up and visit the safety of Prince Hei... bring him back!"
It is said that a book is made by chance. It is precisely because of a coincidence that there is a legend!
Poor Doni entered the forward position for the first time in his life, but he could not get the favor of his father's soul.
He was among the cavalry that was overturned by the previous explosion.
This is not the most pitiful, the most pitiful thing is that Doni is among the three or two people torn apart by the explosion.
