Chapter 441: Siege of Shaoxing Mansion
PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Caozhou people in Beiping".
Jin Shenghuan began to feel a little anxious.
Attacked by the enemy on both sides, this is nothing, to add insult to injury, the Ming army appeared in the east, although the Ming army was in rags, which was mixed with the military uniforms of the Qing army.
But Jin Shenghuan was really scared at this time, he had never been so scared after decades of fighting.
He had already guessed that Wang Deren, who was blocked by Pinggang Mountain, was not only defeated, but also surrendered.
Otherwise, how could his soldiers appear outside the city, against themselves?
The more I hope and look forward to one thing in my heart, and find that my hope is shattered, the greater the blow.
Wang Deren was defeated, not only defeated, but also surrendered, not only lowered, but also counterattacked.
This kind of gap in his heart made Jin Shenghuan's mood suddenly low and irritable.
Even if there is a rabble in the east, there will be no more people!
In this situation, Jin Shenghuan has lost the ability to go out of the city to break through each one, and going out of the city in any direction will bring disaster to the other two gates.
He could only defend the city to the death, and the only hope in his heart was that the Lihai Qing army could perform unexpectedly and save him from the dire situation.
……。
Wu Zheng led 3,000 cavalry and finally arrived outside the West Gate.
Before his arrival, Chi Erhan had already organized three sieges.
All were repulsed by the Qing army.
Without artillery, trebuchets and heavy equipment, it was very difficult to storm a well-defended city.
There is no need for elite soldiers in the city, only people are enough, and archery does not need to be accurate, just shoot out.
No matter how incapable you are, you can only lift a stone and smash it down.
This is the advantage of the defenders, and it is also the place where it was difficult to attack the city in ancient times.
Except, of course, those who have internal responses.
The battle situation outside the city made Wu Zheng, who was in a hurry, obviously relieved.
The battle was far better than he had imagined.
And from Chi Erhan's mouth, he learned that Pinggang Mountain was safe, and all the stones in Wu Zheng's heart were put down.
What could be more gratifying to Wu Zheng than his father's safety?
The gains and losses of one city and one pool, even if it is defeated, are nothing more than withdrawing to Hangzhou, and fighting back next time.
Looking at Fang Guoan, whose eyes were red and who had lost one of his left hands, Wu Zhengda felt a trace of pity in his heart.
Originally, Fang Guoan could refuse this battle, but in fact, as long as he gave way to the Three Realms Passage, Wu Zheng would already be satisfied.
Divided into three battlefields by the Qing army, Lihai, Pinggangshan, and Guali, the disadvantage of the Ming army was absolute.
Only if Wu Zheng can command the whole army in the center, this is the key to victory or defeat in the war, otherwise the three directions will fight separately, and no matter how great the combat power is, it will be reduced.
It's not that Wu Zheng's command is outstanding, but in any battle, without a commander with unified scheduling, even if he wins a tactical victory all the way below, it will not help the entire battle situation, let alone in case of defeat, once lost, it will affect the overall situation.
Therefore, Wu Zheng looked at Fang Guoan, who was disabled and depressed in front of him, and felt guilty in his heart.
If Fang Guoan chooses to lead his troops to the Three Realms and sit back and watch the end of this war, he will not and cannot force him.
"Take care of your injuries." Wu Zheng, who was stunned for a long time, only spit out these four words.
This made Fang Guoan, who was full of anticipation, feel resentment gushing out in his heart, even if he heard a sentence of false comfort and promises that would not be fulfilled.
Nearly 5,000 people, less than 2,000 people at this time, 3,000 brothers and 3,000 lives are here, this is the foundation that Fang Guoan has accumulated in the past 20 years.
There were no tears in Fang Guoan's eyes, only anger.
But this is really not Wu Zheng's ruthlessness, Fang Guoan is a traitor, his subordinates are rebels, not to mention anything else, just say that right now, the Ming soldiers around here, they all sneer at being with Fang Guoan's remnants.
Even the wounded soldiers struggled to stay away from them, for fear of getting into bad luck.
And the generals in the army such as Xiangchi Erhan sneered at the other party's national security.
Fang's Ministry of State Security is almost isolated in one place, with clear warp and weft.
This incompatible stance originated from the "Purging Movement" launched by Wu Zheng, and the people of Hangzhou Prefecture and the counties and townships under its jurisdiction showed up to call on the people to spontaneously review the reduction of officials and businessmen.
But the effect is really good, at least like Hangzhou Mansion, which has fallen into the hands of the Qing army for more than a year, is now also made into a monolith, of course, this is only for the Tartars, and the people's hearts are in other aspects, such as interests, it is still impossible to form a unity, at least not in a short time.
But this is enough, seeking common ground while reserving differences, as long as you face the same enemy, a recognized enemy, everything else can be compromised.
This kind of same front, which has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, has made the Hangzhou government deeply hate traitors and meticulous work.
Therefore, Fang Guoan and his subordinates are quite unpopular.
At this time, Chi Erhan, who didn't know the current affairs, lit the fire of this dispute.
Chi Erhan already had Fang Guoan's nose not a nose, and his face was not a face, in his eyes, it was better for Fang Guoan not to surrender, so Fang Guoan and his subordinates would become his military exploits.
At this time, seeing Fang Guoan's angry eyes at Wu Zheng, Chi Erhan's heart was on fire, and he pointed at Fang Guoan and scolded: "A traitor, my young master has given you enough face, do you dare to stare at you?" ”
If in normal times, Chi Erhan scolded like this, even if the officers and soldiers of the Ministry of State Security had complaints in their hearts, they could only endure it, after all, it was a fact.
But today is really different, they shed blood for the Qingtai Dynasty, and so many people died, more than half.
This kind of pathos in my heart was ignited by Chi Erhan's words.
Around Fang Guoan, there were countless people who stood up and even drew their swords against each other.
Some of the guilt that Wu Zheng originally had in his heart was quickly covered up by this move, and said coldly to Fang Guoan: "Have you thought about doing this?" ”
Fang Guoan actually didn't expect this, although he was angry, he didn't regret his decision to return to Ming.
He just needed comfort, but the sudden occurrence of such a conflict made Fang Guoan embarrassed.
The Ming army quickly gathered, and a fierce fight was about to happen.
Fang Guo knew with peace of mind that at this time, I was afraid that the whole army would be wiped out, and the key was that all the previous sacrifices were in vain.
Thinking of this, Fang Guoan endured the pain, turned around and stopped sharply: "Put down your arms, do you want the brothers who died in the battle to die in vain?" ”
Some generals said angrily: "My lord, we are waiting for a bloody battle, but they ...... But they don't treat us as human ......! ”
Wu Zheng said coldly: "At this time, blame others for not treating you as people, why did you go earlier?" Today, everyone sees your merits, but today's merits do not mean that you can cover up the sins of the past. If you want people to see you as human beings, you have to prove yourself. ”
Wu Zheng's words made Fang Guoan roar twice: "If you don't put down the knife yet, do you want to trap Fang for being disloyal and unjust?" ”
These words made the officers and men begin to let go, and the sound of "clanging" continued.
