    The weather in June was scorching, with no rain for half a month. The red sun was emitting poisonous fire, as if it was about to set the earth on fire.  A group of two to three hundred cavalrymen quickly passed by, and Beizi Tunqi followed closely beside Dorgon.  "Prince Regent, ahead is Hesha Town, which is still thirty miles away from Guangping County!" Dorgon rushed to a mound on horseback and looked around with his clairvoyance.  The ministers and guards who had followed all rushed up, forming a faint encirclement to protect Dorgon.  "Hahahaha, hahahaha!" After watching for a long time, Dorgon suddenly laughed loudly, and his laughter was particularly hearty.  The great scholar Feng Quan who followed came with a smile on his face, bowed and said: "The regent's eyes are like lightning, he must have seen the secret trick to win. I congratulate the regent!" "Scholar Feng, what do you think I saw?"  "This I don't know, old minister!" A contemptuous smile appeared on Dorgon's face. This Feng Quan had relied on Wei Zhongxian's path to enter the cabinet. With the fall of Wei Zhongxian, he was demoted to a commoner.  After the Manchus entered the customs, they searched for traitors everywhere. Feng Quan had been a bachelor of Dongge, so he naturally became one of the first targets.  Dorgon appointed him as a bachelor of the inner academy, and because he was familiar with court allusions, he ranked first, ahead of Fan Wencheng, Gang Lin, Qi Chongge, and Ning Wanwo.  Feng Quan was flattered and asked to be moved down the ranking. Dorgon said: "The country respects the wise and respects the guests, please don't let him." Deeply favored by the "Holy Lord", this great scholar Feng worked extremely hard and wished he could lie down next to him.  Dorgon's feet.  It's just that this person is an expert in internal fighting after all.  Dorgon was a little disgusted with knowing nothing about military affairs.  "Scholar Feng, have you seen it? Guangping is surrounded by flat plains for hundreds of miles, which is where our Qing Dynasty cavalry comes into play. If Gu Zhenhua chooses to fight me here, it is a dead end!" After Dorgon said this,  The slaves around him all praised in unison.  "The regent is wise, our Qing Dynasty is invincible!" Dorgon was so satisfied that he turned his horse's head and was about to leave.  Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a flash of light among the wormwood a few hundred meters away.  Dorgon has been facing powerful enemies for a long time, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong.  He quickly kicked off the saddle.  Just when his buttocks were raised, a gunshot was heard.  "Hurry up and protect them!" Beizi Tunqi and others were so scared that if the regent made a mistake, the Qing Dynasty would really be over!  They all swarmed forward.  All hands and feet.  He helped Dorgon up from the ground.  "Prince Regent, are you okay?" Dorgon bared his teeth and said, "I'm okay, why don't you hurry up and catch the assassin!" The guards hurriedly chased after the gunfire. Dorgon looked at his shoulder and saw the bullet.  The clothes and armor were blackened, but fortunately the skin was not damaged.  But Feng Quan, who was behind Dorgon, was not so lucky. As a scholar, he didn't know how to avoid.  The bullet hit him squarely in the head.  Dorgon glanced around, feeling frightened.  Half of Feng Quan's head was blown off, and his brains were all over the floor. His only remaining eye was wide open, as if he still couldn't believe that the bullet hit him as if it had eyes.  "Prince Regent, this place is dangerous, leave quickly!" Dorgon turned and left surrounded by everyone.  Everyone seemed to have forgotten the great scholar Feng Quan, and his body was just thrown on the slope.  It was not until the next day that Tatars came to collect the body, but he had been eaten by wild beasts and only a few bones were left.  In the summer, the water and grass were luxuriant. An'an took advantage of the minigun to hide in the grass and played a hunting game with the Tatar scouts. In less than three days, more than 170 Tatar scouts were killed.  Among them was Feng Quan, a great scholar.   "These bright dogs are so abominable. In addition to sneak attacks, what they do, they have the ability to die with the Eight Banner Brigade!" Sony said angrily that his nephew was just killed yesterday and was resentful.  Fan Wencheng was scheming and said: "Prince Regent, I thought that Gu Zhenhua's frequent sneak attacks were just to hinder the investigation. Most likely, their troops were not concentrated and were delaying time!" Dorgon nodded and sneered: "Mr. Fan's words  Among them, our Qing Dynasties are all cavalry, and their movements are very fast, while most of the Ming people are infantry, and they have many firearms, so transportation is very inconvenient." When Beizi Tunqi heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Regent, if this is the case, is it right?  Should I attack first? " "That's right!" Dorgon said with a smile: "All of my Eight Banners troops have arrived, and the cavalry of various Mongolian tribes has also arrived.  Attack in formation and let Ming Gou taste the power of the iron cavalry!"  The Tatars were mobilizing their troops, and the headquarters in Guangping City was also brightly lit.  "Reporting to the prince, I have led the 5,300 soldiers of the 21st Brigade to arrive. Listen to the prince's instructions!" It was Kang Dali who spoke. He was a guard of Gu Zhenhua, and his soldiers were also the elite of the Anhui Army. He was so  As a result, the main force of An** in Guangping has reached 65,000 people.  Contains all the essence of the chariot camp, hussars, and artillery.  Wu Kaijie said: "Your Majesty, after excluding the troops that Li Xu took away, our army still has nearly 50,000 troops that have not arrived, but I think we can't wait any longer and must fight decisively as soon as possible!" Gu Zhenhua glanced at the other people present,  Guo Yunlong stood up hastily.  "What Staff Officer Wu said is reasonable. About half of our troops have not arrived, but we have also held back more than 200,000 troops in Handan. As time passes, once Handan is not secured, we will be in a disadvantageous position. Therefore, we should immediately fight with  The decisive battle of Dorgon. "Sun Cheng, who has always been steady, also said: "Yes, I agree with this view. The war cannot be delayed! After all, we are infantry and the enemy is cavalry." Gu Zhenhua looked at the others again.  Everyone showed a determined expression.  "Okay, since everyone sees it this way, then we will fight to the death with the Tatars tomorrow." "Guo Yunlong, Zhou Yingjie, you will lead five brigades, plus vehicle battalions and an artillery regiment, as the central army. The main attack will be on the Tatars." Listen  When they arrived, the two men stood up excitedly and saluted hurriedly.  This decisive battle will take the initiative to shine in the annals of history.  It would be a great honor for them to serve as the main force, and it would be enough to honor our ancestors!  Suppressing their excited voices, they said together: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely win the victory!" Gu Zhenhua turned his attention to Sun Cheng and Xie Bin again, and said with a smile: "You each lead two brigades as two wings. Be sure to  Prevent the Tatars from making a roundabout attack!" "I obey my orders!" Gu Zhenhua finally said to Yue Polu, who was waiting impatiently: "This time, the winged cavalry, as the main force of the assault and the ace of the entire army, will act with me at the critical moment.  A fatal blow!" "Great!" Yue Polu said with a smile: "The Tatars must have learned the most painful lesson!" After the division of troops, everyone immediately went down to prepare, and the huge war machine began to move at high speed.  operation.  At the beginning of the third watch, all the cooking soldiers have started cooking.  At the fourth watch, the soldiers began to eat.  Everyone knew that this was the last meal before the war.  It may also be the last meal of some people's lives. The veterans patted the recruits on the shoulders and comforted the nervous rookies.  As soon as it got dark, all the soldiers started to move towards the battlefield.  The main force of Anhui is 60,000 to 70,000 people, plus the civilians, the total number is nearly 100,000.  And the Tatars have more than 200,000, so many troops.  The entire front was twenty or thirty miles wide, and the soldiers were densely packed.  If viewed from high altitude.  It's like two ant colonies fighting.  As the Chinese army, Guo Yunlong first let the car camp seize the favorable terrain of Tiantai Town. In front of them was an old river, and the long embankment formed a natural fortification to protect them.  At the foot is the gentle slope of the river valley, with a wide view, just suitable for fire and gun combat.  Just when the army was getting ready, the red flag on the high hot air balloon waved back and forth, urgent and fast.  "The Tatars are coming!" Guo Yunlong said with a smile.  Zhou Yingjie smiled and said: "Yes, we have been waiting for this day for a long time!" According to Western time, around eight-thirty, a large number of Tatar cavalry appeared in Guo Yunlong's field of vision, so densely packed that the edges could not be seen at all.  Half of the Tatars in the middle were carrying white flags, and the other half were carrying yellow flags. People were shouting and neighing, and it was so lively.  "Hahaha, I didn't expect that the two yellow flags and the two white flags who have always been at odds would be so close. It seems that our contribution is not small!" Guo Yunlong laughed.  Zhou Yingjie also said: "No matter what the flag is, I will turn them into death flags!" The two sides were less than two thousand steps apart and facing each other. The rumble of war drums sounded on the Tatar side, and a group of armored cavalry rushed out.  , behind them, the Tatar artillery pushed the cannon, and the high muzzle was aimed at An**'s position.  Boom!  Around nine o'clock in the morning, the first cannon shot landed right on the embankment. It had no effect except splashing up a ball of soft sand.  But it was this shot that started the war.  The Tatar artillerymen were like crazy, constantly firing artillery towards Anhui. The sky was filled with round shells, filled with gunpowder smoke and choking people's noses.  The Tatars also seem to have learned the experience of security and firepower. Whoever has stronger firepower can defeat them.Gotta fight!  But this may have been true in the past, but war will always make progress.  The hot air balloons flying high in the sky were not affected by the smoke at all, and they could see the Tatar artillery positions clearly.  The flag kept waving, and the security artillery took aim immediately.  Tan Xingming finally determined the position of the cannon, and finally shouted loudly: "Fire!" "Fire!" "Fire!" Hundreds of artillery roared together, and thick smoke filled the sky.  A hail of projectiles hit the Tatar artillery positions.  "No, run away!" Hearing the scream, the Tatar hurriedly raised his head and saw a large piece of iron falling down.  Some people turned around and ran away, but it was still too late.  The shells exploded right next to them, and immediately the bones flew everywhere, and their bodies were covered in blood and flesh.  But Tun Qi, who was supervising the battle, didn't care at all. The artillery fired more and more fiercely. He waved his long sword, and the cavalry that was ready to go rushed towards An'an.  "Kill!"
