The Zheng family navy and Wakda's Qing soldiers have been fighting fiercely with the Liehuo Camp in Huai'an for more than a month.

Both sides had their own victory or defeat, and Li Haoxian still relied on his stronger behind the scenes to suppress the Zheng family of the Qing Dynasty in front of Huai'an Prefecture.

In the early Ming Dynasty, garrisons were set up in the capital and key places, and troops were stationed. Several prefectures were divided into a defense zone to set up guards, with thousands of households and hundreds of households under them. Around 5,600 people were called guards, 1,120 people were called Qianhou, and 120 people were called 100 households. Soldiers had military status and were hereditary to the army. In general, several prefectures had one guard, while Huaian had one guard and three guards. The status of Huaian was self-evident. It is mainly because Huaian was the center of the canal transportation, the center of river management, the salt industry distribution center, the important place of the pass, and the transportation center.

In front of the Dahewei, the Fire Camp surrounded the garrison on all sides, and the sound of killing shocked the sky.

In front of the last barrier of the important town of Jianghuai, it has become a battlefield of blood and fire. There are soldiers who charge and kill the sky, and there are dead bodies that will never get up again. Not long ago, among the thousands of troops that charge, he is just an insignificant barracks, but in his family, he is a husband who is one head taller than the sky, his father who is three points heavier than the king, and he is the pillar of a family, but now he is just a corpse that no one cares about taking a look.

Li Haoxian, who was red-eyed, completely ignored the swords, guns and arrows, rushed to the front of the formation and took a long spear to defeat countless Qing soldiers. There was no enemy in a single place where he passed. Of course, what was even more difficult was that his personal soldiers protected him tightly and protected him from open and hidden arrows. The commander was so brave, which greatly improved the morale of the army. The Fire Camp was as brave as ever.

In this battle, Li Haoxian was bound to win. The commander crossed the river and attacked the north, broke through Jiangpu Town and Qingliu Pass. He was as powerful as breaking bamboo to attack Fengyang, but he came to Huai'an to help the battle. Li Haoxian was both moved and blamed himself. He fought against the Three Route Army in the Northern Expedition, and the Quanzhen Camp of the Western Route Army fought against the four pseudo-Qing princes, defended Xiangyang to the death without losing, and dragged hundreds of thousands of elite Han Eight Banners who could fight and were good at fighting. The Central Route Army was led by the Commander himself, and fought bloody battles in Jiangpu Town and broke Qingliu Pass. In the forest, everyone knows that the Northern Expedition Army dragged 170,000 Qing soldiers with 20,000 people to the two battalions to help.

Only his Eastern Army, who was invaded by Zheng Zhilong's navy, has not advanced yet since leaving Yangzhou. He has fought with Wakda until now. Li Haoxian is arrogant and can accept the burden of the pride of the fire camp that he is proud of becoming the drag of the Northern Expedition? He is extremely eager to capture the Dahe Guards Linhuai'an Prefecture before Hou Xuanyan's reinforcements arrive.

Unfortunately, the Qing soldiers were not soft persimmons. Although Wakda was not famous, he was also a powerful general who fought for the darkest times in Manchu Jiannu. He was the grandson of Nurhaci and the fourth son of Daishan. Most of the Qing soldiers under his command were the Mongolian Eight Banners and Manchu Eight Banners who were skilled in cavalry and shooting. Relying on the artillery fire of the Zheng family, Wakda, who had only 70,000 people in his hand, blocked the fire camp in Dahewei for one month.

Just when the two sides were fighting hard, Hou Xuanyan's army finally arrived. He rode on his horse and looked into the distance. The river guard below was like a lonely boat in the huge waves, which could be covered at any time, but it always appeared on the top of the wave again.

Hou Xuanyan frowned. He knew very well that Li Haoxian was not only brave and invincible, but also a kind general who cared about the soldiers. Now he was leading the army to charge at all costs. You must know that if the siege side attacked like this and forcibly attacking a city, he would not know how many people would be lost.

More and more Northern Expedition troops appeared on the high slopes in the distance, and the soldiers from both sides below saw this distinctively armored man.

Wakda in the city lamented. Although he knew that Hou Xuanyan's army was coming, he had no choice. Li Haoxian was like a mad dog, biting Dahewei's own troops and horses at all. Looking at the more and more figures on the hillside, Wakda turned his head and said that his soldiers were not scared by the sudden appearance of the Ming army, and his morale was still there. This was also the pride that the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers who had won with fewer victory and more. They were confident that they would defeat any Han soldiers.

Li Haoxian held a spear and pulled a spear flower and poked a Tartar with the red flag to death. The personal soldiers next to him looked happy and shouted loudly: "General! Our reinforcements are here, the general is here!"

Li Haoxian turned his head and looked, and the people and horses on the slope rushed down like a tide. It was the familiar tooth dragon flag. The commander arrived...

Li Haoxian sighed in his heart. In the end, he wanted to prepare a big gift to take Huaian and give it to the commander as a gift, but now all of them have failed.

Li Haoxian rode his horse into the Qing army like a venting anger. A long bridge was like a dragon entering the sea, slashing and slashing, and no one could stop it. Finally, the Northern Expedition Army on the slope rushed to the city and joined forces with the Fire Camp. The pressure to defend the Dahe Guard increased, and the Qing soldiers were killed and injured.

The war lasted all day, and finally it was sunset, and the Northern Expedition Army was exhausted, but the Dahewei was still shaking, as if it was about to be captured, but it still stood firm. Hou Xuanyan kept staring at the battle formation, his eyes were already sour, but there was still no sign of capturing the place. The main reason was that there were too many artillery on the city and too powerful. It was launched from morning to night. The powerful strength of the Zheng family finally played a role and helped the Qing soldiers defend the guard.

As soon as the signal of Mingjin withdrawing the troops came out, the Northern Expedition Army in front immediately retreated in an orderly manner, and the Qing soldiers on the city tower cheered. For them, this was indeed a rare victory. The willpower of these Qing soldiers after sticking to this long period of time.

When he returned to the bill, Li Haoxian, who was dejected, held a military cap in his hand and said half-kneel: "The commander-in-chief, his subordinates are incompetent and failed to break through the Dahewei."

Hou Xuanyan looked at Lee Ho-hyun, who was covered in blood, walked forward, gently helped him up, and looked up the powerful general. It has to be said that Lee Ho-hyun is a natural general. This guy's martial arts are so good that Hou Xuanyan is envious. People like him are born for the battlefield. Although he has not read much of his military books, he can still see the situation clearly when fighting, which is really commendable.

"Get up, I'll look out on the slope for a day. The Dahewei is really hard to break, it has nothing to do with you. Zheng Zhilong raised troops to rebel in Guangzhou Prefecture and colluded with the Qing Dynasty. He was really a traitor. Now with the help of the Zheng family, Wakda and their complementary needs make this group of Qing soldiers even more difficult to deal with. Fortunately, I already have a clever plan to break Huai'an and capture Wakda alive."
