The minister of the scattered rank is the military dismissal of the Qing court, although it is a false title, but the rank is very high, and it is a second rank.

The Qing court set up a guard office, and the guard office set up a guard minister, which was a product; Minister of the Interior, from the first product, six each; Then there is the Minister of Internal Affairs, and the number of personnel is uncertain.

The ministers of the guards and the ministers of the interior are all Manchus, and the ministers of the scattered ranks are both Manchu and Han, but they are also from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

This is a bit like Shen Zhiyuan's Luan Yi envoy, the same nature.

After Wu Zheng got the information sent by Song An, he "Geden" in his heart.

Wu Zheng knew Zu Dabi and Zu Dashou, and they and Mao Yuanyi, the chief soldier under Yuan Chonghuan, should be said to be the most experienced generals in this era.

Almost 20 years ago, Zu Dabi and Zu Dashou have been constantly fighting with Houjin, when Houjin did not have firearms, Zu Dabi and others had already used firearms to resist the enemy.

Therefore, even if the musket is updated now, the principle is still the same, and the most advantageous deterrent power of firearms is almost non-existent in the fight against such people, because they are the "originators" of the use of muskets.

Wu Zheng couldn't help but worry about Jiang Quanyi and the Taizhou guards.

In fact, just when Wu Zheng was worried, Jiang Quanyi had already encountered a problem - he couldn't move!

Therefore, Jiang Quanyi asked for sixteen-pounder artillery support, which was almost impossible to achieve, how could the heavy artillery regiment of the First Army, which was deployed around Hangzhou Prefecture, be transferred north in a short period of time?

Even if Wu Zheng agreed, without ten days and a half months, I am afraid that he would not be able to arrive, not to mention that he would have to transport heavy artillery across the river.

Wu Zheng was restless, and immediately ordered to go north and continue to move the headquarters forward to Baoying.

He was going to personally command the battle.

……。

There is a saying that "there is no vanity under fame".

There is indeed a point in this.

After discovering that playing conspiracy did not work for Wu Zheng, Dolgon quickly adjusted his strategy.

That's to play your forte – using soldiers!

Also, how can you play up your weaknesses and avoid your strengths?

Dolgon's deployment this time, even the two "Hum Ha two generals" around Ganglin and Qi Chongge are difficult to see the whole leopard, it's not that Dolgon doesn't trust them anymore, but Dolgon's strategy, almost no strategy.

That is, to fight a battle of improvisation.

But this time, Dolgon arrived in Yanzhou and took command in person.

It's not that his body is better, on the contrary, it's weaker.

Because he was weaker, Dorgon knew that he had to win this battle so that he could properly arrange his afterlife.

The reason why the 80,000 troops of Xuzhou were handed over to the ambitious Azig was also a compromise strategy, in exchange for the limited and short-term support of Azig for the Xuzhou army, so that he had no worries and could calmly finish this battle, which was probably the last battle of his life.

In other words, Dolgon's battle and killing were not the 80,000 troops of Xuzhou.

How could Dolgon hand over the battle and killing of his own life to Azig?

In fact, Azig was at best a trick in Dolgon's mind to confuse Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng, in Dolgon's heart, has risen to the height of a lifelong enemy.

It was already necessary for Dolgon to risk dying halfway through the battle to personally command the battle that would determine the ownership of half of the country on the south bank of the Yellow River.

On the way to Yanzhou, Dolgon sighed in his heart, the hero is in the twilight, what can I do?!

……。

Huai'an City.

The fierce battle for three consecutive days made the entire Huai'an City fall silent.

Except for the army, the people on the streets have long since closed their homes.

Zu Dabi, who is over sixty years old, is indeed very experienced.

He knew that if the whole city was not under martial law, with the undefeated reputation of King Wu in the south of the Yangtze River, the people of Huai'an Han would be welcomed by the Han people in Huai'an, and even secretly communicated, then the city was not broken, and it was equivalent to being broken.

First martial law, then conscription, put on the city wall, do a battle, see blood, and then there is a blood feud, no need to monitor, and willing to fight hard.

As long as the elite does not collapse, these strong men will not collapse first, and they will be killed!

This is the competent, simple, and effective of a battlefield veteran!

He figured out the hearts of the people, even if these strong men were originally set to King Wu, as long as their relatives and neighbors died in battle, immediately, their hearts would fight with themselves, this is human nature.

For the "rumbling" cannon outside the city, Zu Dabi doesn't care at all, there is a kind of you can collapse the city wall!

This is a wall more than a foot thick, even if you set up a hundred and ten heavy cannons and want to collapse, it will be the year of the monkey, not more, as long as ten days, or even less, the regent's army will boil you!

At this time, a soldier came in to report, "General, the enemy army is advancing westward, Gaoliangjian is lost, and the enemy army is going north along the shore of the lake, attacking Wujiadun, and there is a intention to outflank my north gate...... ”

"How many?"

"About three thousand."

Zu Dabi waved his hand and said: "Send five hundred iron cavalry to ambush in Qingjiangpu, and when the enemy army outflanks it, annihilate it!" ”

"Yes!"

……。

Wu Zheng rushed to the outside of Huai'an City a day later, in Jiang Quanyi's big tent.

As soon as he saw Jiang Quanyi, he slapped him over.

But looking at Jiang Quanyi's deeply sunken eye sockets, he couldn't bear it, and finally stopped in front of his hand, changed his palm to a fist, his hand sank, and he punched Jiang Quanyi in the chest.

Jiang Quanyisheng received this punch, staggered back, stabilized his figure, and knelt down on one knee with "plopping", "I am guilty of my humble duties, I implore the prince to punish him!" ”

After three days of strong attack, Taizhou Wei was defeated again and again, and the casualties have exceeded 1,000.

But the siege did not make any progress, and the most successful one was when more than 100 people rushed up the city wall, but they were pushed down by the enemy defenders who were several times their size.

This kind of hand-to-hand combat is not something that can be fought by bayonets and courage.

The enemy is wearing armor and comes to hard top bayonets, but what?!

If it's just a hundred heavy armor soldiers, forget it, if there are more than a thousand heavy armor soldiers, it's looking for death.

In the era of cold weapons, a hundred heavy armor can defeat tens of thousands of unarmored soldiers, which is by no means false.

Changing the palm to a fist, this is because Wu Zheng does not want to hurt Jiang Quanyi's prestige in front of the generals of Taizhou.

Wu Zheng has always emphasized that soldiers must have the dignity of soldiers, let alone a leading general?

Soldiers can be killed, not humiliated!

"Get up." Wu Zheng said coldly, "The Northern Expeditionary Army has military salutes, and there are military laws for punishment...... Remember your sins for a while, and tell me about the three days of siege! ”

Two lines of tears burst out of Jiang Quanyi's sunken eyes, and he choked up: "It's not that the command is ineffective, and it's not that the soldiers are unwilling to use their lives...... However, the city seemed to be ready to deal with our army, and within three days, nearly 2,000 shells could not suppress the ...... of the enemy at the head of the city. ”

After listening to Jiang Quanyi's account, Wu Zheng snorted coldly: "More than ten years ago, when people used artillery and firecrackers to fight Houjin, you were afraid that you were still peeing and playing with mud!" Don't cry like a...... Take back the tears! ”
