Chapter 272: Traitors have no human rights

The position of the Zheng army outside the city. Zheng Zhilong looked up at the sky, the warm sunlight made him have to squint his eyes, "God really doesn't give face, how good it would be to have a strong wind!" โ€

Although the days like this are really good now, without the 'sharp' cold wind like a knife, Zheng Zhilong feels that the weather is much warmer.

But this is Qingzhou. Is there no wind in this place in Qingzhou in winter?

Even if it is not as good as Denglai, Yidu (Qingzhou Fuzhi) is not far from Laizhou Bay.

"Maybe God has pity on them......" Zheng Zhilong could only think so.

Because now that the thirty catapults in his hand have been built, it only takes a strong wind, and Qingzhou City, which is now just a flame, will quickly turn into a sea of fire. The 100,000 people in it, whether they were civilians or soldiers, had to flee as long as they didn't want to die. Although the property and goods of a large city will be reduced to ashes, there is no doubt that the victory of the war will go to the hands of Zheng Jun.

Zheng Zhilong will solve the 30,000 people in the city without much effort, especially the 10,000 Eight Banner Tartars inside.

He has closely monitored the east, west, north and south gates of Qingzhou City, and there are soldiers in the main camp of the Zheng army outside the east gate, and he also asked Zheng Zhibao to take the soldiers and horses to hold Zu Kefa on the top of Yao Mountain.

The stove has been set up, just waiting for the fat to go to the pot.

But God doesn't give face. It's the third day, and the wind hasn't picked up yet. But Zheng Zhilong is not in a hurry, not in a hurry at all. He felt that he had won this battle, and there was no reason to lose at all.

Or maybe Haoge still has Brother Axiu's ability to summon a great meteorite technique and smash down Zheng Zhilong, a traverser?

Otherwise, he really couldn't think of why he was defeated.

In Qingzhou City, Haoge looked at the two heads in the tray in front of him, and smiled so murderously. "Dogs, it's not a pity to die."

The Qing Dynasty gave you official work, and also allowed you to keep your family property, and even turned a blind eye to their efforts to reap benefits for their own families in the midst of change.

As a result, a pair of white-eyed wolves were raised!

Haoge now hates Fang Kezhuang and Feng Pu more than Cao Jue, and everyone who is a traitor will be punished.

"Throw it out to feed the dogs!"

With a big wave of his hand, Hauge didn't have to worry about these dead traitors. He turned to put away the ferocity on his face, looked at Sun Zhiqi who was waiting for his duty on the side, and nodded with satisfaction. This is a good and faithful minion.

"Sun Zhiqi, you sit."

Hauge called his name directly, but he was still very rude. But the meaning of his words made Sun Zhiqi smile big. Although the wails of the Fang family and the Feng family, as well as the old face of Cao Juan's dead old man, still appeared in front of his eyes, and the miserable screams of the Fang family, the Feng family, and even the Cao family's daughters still echoed in his ears, this was not as important as Prince Su's attention.

"The king knows that you are a faithful man. This time I did a good job, if you hadn't paid attention to these shameless people, I am afraid that this king would have to make a big mistake. โ€

Sun Zhiqi hurriedly humbled and didn't dare, and Haoge waved his hand again: "You Han people love to fix these empty heads." Your merit is your merit, and this king remembers it. When we get out of this Qingzhou City, this king will report the credit to you. โ€

Sun Zhiqi knew that he really won Haoge's trust, and this vote, Fang Kezhuang couldn't have done a very solid job.

But ......, "Did the prince say..., out of Qingzhou City?" Sun Zhiqi was surprised.

"Of course I'm going to leave Qingzhou City. I can't stay here. Zheng Jun's cannon is powerful, and it can also shoot that kind of cannonball. If you don't get out early when there is no fire, do you still want to stay in Qingzhou and wait to be burned to death? โ€

"But my lord. It doesn't matter if Qingzhou is lost, that is, retreat to Jinan Mansion, Zheng Zhilong still beats like this...... "Isn't it Jinan Mansion or not?" Sun Zhiqi said a little nervously.

"There are no cannons. Zheng Zhilong doesn't care about the lives and deaths of the people in the city, just this way of playing, not to mention Jinan, even Yanjing is not a big deal. Hauge was helpless against this move. Unless it rains and the whole city is soaked in mold, this trick won't work.

Sun Zhiqi's face changed greatly.

Although he was determined to be loyal to the Manchus, he didn't want to die. No matter what high-ranking officials the Manchu Qing can give themselves, but if they don't succeed, won't it be a waste in the end? It's better to live his stable life honestly.

In an instant, he regretted it.

Hauge failed to discover the essence through the phenomenon, and in his eyes, Sun Zhiqi was a loyal and good minion. At present, his face is full of worries, all of them are worried about the Qing Dynasty, and they are loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

"Don't scare yourself. Zheng Zhilong can do this, and he must first have the ability to send many cannons to the city, is it really my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry is tofu pinched? This time it was the king's carelessness. The Eight Banners Iron Cavalry were all blocked in the city. Otherwise......" Hauge's face showed a fierce look again, still full of confidence.

Sun Zhiqi breathed a sigh of relief. Just as Hauge couldn't see through his heart, he couldn't see the embarrassing humility under Hauge's confident expression. Because Hauge is talking big.

There are not many Eight Banner soldiers under him, and even if his vest soldiers are all arranged outside the city, they are only harassing Zheng Jun for one or two, which is of no substantive significance.

Because the number of people is somewhat small.

Just those vest soldiers can't break through the defense line of the Zheng army. And even the defense line of the Zheng army could not be broken, how could it attack the artillery team?

But Prince Su also wants to save face, doesn't he?

"When you go back, you can prepare quietly." Hauge told Sun to keep it a secret, and then told him the timeโ€”tonight.

After Sun Zhiqi got the exact news, he hurriedly went back to prepare, and Haoge's subordinate generals were in a hurry.

The first person on the left hand is the first-class Gongtazhan, the second person is Bahana, and the third person is Tunqi, so it can be said that there are still characters in Haoge's army. The first Han general on the right hand is Liu Zeqing, and the second is Ke Yongsheng, the general soldier of Qingzhou.

Both of them were disgraced, apparently fresh from the front.

"Lord Wang, I haven't seen Zheng Zhilong's troops in the south and west of the city." Liu Zeqing said first.

"Lord Wang, Zheng Zhilong did not increase his troops in the north of the city." Ke Yongsheng continued to speak for the second time, which was still good news.

The solemn expression on Hauge's face also had a touch of kindness.

Today, the Qing army wants to get out of trouble, but there are more than 30,000 horse infantry troops in the city, but it is impossible to break through from one gate at a time. That's too slow, it's too easy to be blocked back by Zheng Jun.

In addition to the position of Zheng Zhilong's army in the east, the Qing army was going to break through in three ways.

"Zheng Zhilong does have some skills, his army has only been trained for three or four years, and he can have such a momentum. Since I entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, in Jinmen, in Qilu, and outside the customs, I have suffered from him many times. Therefore, in this breakthrough battle, we have to plan well, and we must not end up defeated. โ€

"The imperial court is in Qilu, but it is pointing to our army and horses."

Haoge tapped his fingers on the table, and there was something in his words, what the Tartars were counting on in Qilu was not Liu Zeqing, but the eight thousand Eight Banners soldiers under Haoge.

"Lord Wang. For many days, we have been watching Zheng Jun's every move outside the city. "Speaking was Tazhan, the second son of Shumulu Yanguli, one of the five ministers, who was a first-class duke and the second in rank among Hauge's men. In the second year of Chongde, he attacked his father as the Duke of Chaopin and was promoted to Minister of the Interior. In six years, he besieged Jinzhou with the army, defeated 130,000 reinforcements from Hong Chengchou, and led the army to pursue with the minister Yierden, set up an ambush on the high bridge, and killed a lot of soldiers. Later, because he could not lead the people to guard the imperial camp, the Ming soldiers rushed in and were demoted to a first-class duke. "Do you think Zheng Zhilong will set up a trap for us outside the city?"

"Not really. Qingzhou is surrounded by plains, and if there are no ambushes, you can see it clearly at a glance. Hauge clenched his fists, "What I'm afraid of is that our soldiers and horses can't break through Zheng Jun's guns." โ€

Except for the east gate, the Zheng army camp outside the other three gates is about two miles away from the city gate. But their outpost village, the artillery position that had been built before, was less than a mile from the city wall. And it was in a long rectangle blocked at the city gate.

In front of the outpost village, that is, at a distance of fifty zhang from the city wall, it is better to have a few small forts.

Whether it can break through here, or whether it can withstand the guns and artillery fire here, rush out of range and quickly line up, and contain, threaten, and even break through the reinforcements that come out of the rear (Zheng army's camp) will be the key factor in whether the Qing army can smoothly 'turn in'.

The key to a smooth transition is not 'transfer', but 'smooth'.

If the more than 30,000 Qing troops in the city used their heavy losses as the price of transfer, then Haoge would never want to see it. What he hoped for was that the army would be able to trade minor losses for the opportunity to "rearrange".

Qingzhou City is going to be lost, and a large amount of military grain and grass stored in the city will be burned to the ground, in Haoge's view, this is a painful loss, if he has to lose a large number of troops, he is not 'turning in' but breaking through, or desperate breakthrough in a desperate situation.

Although this is the case in Qingzhou at the moment.

Haoge looked at Liu Zeqing.

It's all this time, Liu Zeqing must make a statement. Otherwise, who will be the first wave of meat shield cannon fodder?

You can't let the Eight Flags Masters get on, right?

Liu Zeqing's heart was filled with a hundred bitterness, he was really ......, he was really ......, and he regretted not being at the beginning.

If he hadn't been clever back then, even if he climbed to Yanjing slowly, the emperor (Chongzhen) would definitely not hate himself so deeply.

The original fall really cut off his back road.

Although he now knows that the Manchu Qing does not regard himself as a 'person', he can only continue to die for the Manchu Qing.

Standing up and patting his chest to assure Haoge that it would be difficult to break through the Zheng army's camp, even if it was just the Zheng army's outpost village, but as meat shield cannon fodder, their Qilu's green flag soldiers must be good.

nephew Liu Zhiyu and his lieutenants Zheng Longfang, Yao Wenchang, etc., waited for Liu Zeqing, who returned with a sad face, and after asking the reason, his heart was also bitter.

"The Tartars deceived me too much!" Liu Zhiyu's face was red and his neck was thick.

"It's just that Tartar is too bullying." Zheng Longfang also hated it.

In these days, they are the people who are being cannoned under the city wall, and the Tartars are hiding in the Hengwang City in the center of the city.

"Little general, Brother Zheng is not going to talk angrily, and it will be a big deal if outsiders listen to it. The marshal and the emperor of the Southern Dynasty had a knot, if the rebellion of the Tartar was created, how could there be a place for the marshal in this world? โ€

Instead of talking angry here, it is better to think carefully about who under your own command deserves to die, and who can fight a tough battle!
