Chapter 745: Soft Bones

The game of 'cat and mouse' continued for a while, until the Hauge troops were driven back five or six miles away, and Zhang Hu and Li Fengshou withdrew their troops without hurry.

At this time, the 'tail' of the main force of the model army was basically out of the city, and the huge scale of nearly 80,000 people was completely a tumbling sea of bright red, with no end in sight.

And it was only at this time that everyone in the Hauge Department understood the intention of the model army:

It turned out that everything was their own doing, and the model army was not coming at them at all, but was going to march to the southern battlefield. ’

"Master, this ...... What are we going to do......"

All the masters of Zhenglan Banner breathed a sigh of relief, but they were immediately filled with an indescribable feeling.

Co-authored, they are the Blue Banner gang, in the eyes of the model army, they are not a unit at all......

"What should I do?"

"What else can I do? Cold! ”

Hauge gritted his teeth and spat hard, feeling more and more painful than the minions.

He Haoge is the eldest son of Bodar Khan, and he should be the most noble person in the right name, but at this time, not only was he defeated within the Qing Dynasty, but even Xu Changqing and these bright dogs looked down on him......

How the fuck can you bear this?

However, even if Haoge is indignant, his heart is unsettled, and his heart and liver are about to explode, his brain is still sober, and the overall situation is still there, which is also his biggest advantage and identity, so that he has always regarded the Great Qing Kingdom as his family property.

After thinking for a moment, Hauge said coldly: "Immediately send someone to inform the regent that if the main force of the model army does have the intention of going south, it can be intercepted in the Luzhong area." This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we must defeat or even annihilate Xu Changqing! ”

"Wow."

……

Hauge had a good idea.

The model army came out of the city, which was an opportunity given by Changsheng Heaven to the Great Qing Kingdom, and the 'Xu Changqing Trouble', which had plagued the Great Qing Kingdom for many years, was very likely to be settled in a war and completely resolved.

However, it didn't take long for reality to swell his face.

After the model army left, Haoge was letting the minions camp in place to rest, roasting a fat sheep for him, and making up for his injured liver, but suddenly the minions who had just gone to the south to give the order rushed back, covered in blood, crying and wailing: "Master, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good, the model army has blocked this area, our people can't get out at all, just a dozen people, only the slave is lucky, and he was lucky to pick up a life......"

“……”

Hauge's mood calmed down a little and couldn't help but explode again, strode forward, tore the minion's clothes, and roared like a wolf: "What did you say? Say it again? You horses are so good, they are all good hands, how can they be blocked by the model army? ”

The slave was already weak at this time, and Hauge didn't spare any strength, and in a moment he tore his eyes and rolled his eyes, but fortunately, there was an old minion next to him who was clever and hurriedly comforted Hauge, and Hauge came back to his senses, let go of the minion, and let him speak carefully.

As if the slave had been pardoned, he hurriedly took a few breaths and hurriedly recounted to Hauge.

It turned out that the model army had been premeditated for a long time, and there were hands around many good terrains and intersections, all of which were not inferior to their good hands, and they were besieged not long after they went out.

Originally, they didn't believe in evil, and wanted to continue to break through to the west, looking for an opening to get out, but they couldn't prevent it, this blockade was all-round, and there was no opening at all, unless they broke through with hundreds or even more people.

"Dog mongrel, dog mongrel!"

After listening to this, Hauge was scolded angrily again, looked in the direction of Haicheng, and almost wanted to swallow Haicheng in one bite.

He originally planned to wait for the main force of the model army to leave, and then bring some people to see if he could steal Haicheng, but now he looks at it, this is completely Xu Changqing's trap, and in Haicheng, I don't know what more terrible tricks there are.

Even, at this time, this kind of siege is very likely to be bait, once they send more good hands to break through the siege and deliver letters, they will be slaughtered as prey by the model army's night of non-collection.

He had just seen the cavalry force that Xu Changqing had been hiding, and it was not much worse than the configuration of their Eight Banners Iron Cavalry.

"Master, Xu Changqing is extremely vicious and ruthless, we are weak at this time, and we can't be rash anymore. Well, after dark, let's send a good hand out and try it again. After all, the main force of the Model Army doesn't have too many war horses, and the speed is definitely not fast, and it won't be a big deal if it's a day or two late......"

Next to him, there was an old minion who couldn't sit still, so he reminded him carefully.

"Hey......"

Hauge sighed helplessly, and closed his eyes in pain and weakness, "That's it." Everyone and each department should rest and recuperate, and build more fortifications around to prevent the model army from stealing the camp, and we will talk about it in the evening! ”

"Wow."

……

The news that the Hauge Department's order was blocked soon reached Xu Changqing's side, and at this time, Xu Changqing's Chinese army had already left the city for more than three miles.

Feeling the endless free air between heaven and earth, Xu Changqing's heart was a little indescribably bright, and the taste of freedom was really good.

In fact, Xu Changqing did not have the intention of destroying the Haoge Department, after all, Haoge's weak horse at this time was a showman, and it was not particularly difficult to kill him.

But after thinking about it carefully, Xu Changqing still gave up this idea.

From a military point of view, Haoge still has some ability to resist, he still has almost 2,000 real Manchuria at this time, all of them are his henchmen, many of them are old people from the two white flags led by Huang Taiji, and they are really going to die, and the model army will inevitably have to pay some price.

If you do the math, it's not worth it.

Because killing Hauge doesn't play much role in the overall situation, he is already a 'marginal person'.

This is also linked to the political aspect.

Hauge was one of the few 'oppositionists' in the Qing Dynasty at this time, even if his ability was limited and his strength was small, he could eventually cause some trouble to Dorgon, especially to make Dolgon jealous.

If Xu Changqing spends the price to destroy Haoge at this time, I'm afraid that the happiest person is the Dolgon brothers, and he, Xu Changqing, is used as a gun.

The Haoge Department is nailed to Haicheng at this time, which is also a bit of a 'catfish effect', which can make the left-behind sons and daughters of Haicheng doubly vigilant, so as not to make a big mess because of their carelessness.

In particular, if they want to send a letter to the south, they must break through the encirclement, which gives the cavalry under Zhang Hu's command the opportunity to train in actual combat.

Anyway, Xu Changqing was not in a hurry at this time.

Even if Jining is broken and Qufu is broken, it doesn't matter.

What he wants is not the city, but the population after it has been torn apart, just to borrow the hands of the Qing army to remove some impurities.

Of course, the relationship between Jining being broken is not particularly big, and Qufu still has to be rescued if it can be rescued.

Otherwise, with Kong Yinzhi's small body, Dolgon didn't have to scare him much, he was afraid that he would have to kneel down and call his father.

……

Feel the air of freedom wantonly, but the speed of the model army is not slow.

When they set up camp the next evening, the model army had already traveled more than 100 miles, an average of more than 50 miles a day, and came to Qingzhou.

This is mainly due to Xu Changqing's hard work in the past few years.

It is true that the model army does not have too many war horses, plus the night is not collected, plus cavalry, plus all kinds of communications, it is only fifteen or six thousand horses when it is full.

But there were a lot of mules and horses in the model army.

With prosperous commerce and deliberate control, the number of mules and horses in Haicheng at this time was at least more than 200,000, and the military had reached more than 120,000.

At this time, there were 80,000 model army battle formations, but there were nearly 100,000 mules and horses, and nearly 30,000 vehicles of various sizes.

This allows the sons and daughters not to carry too much weight and can march with all their might.

Especially at this time, it was the beginning of autumn, and the grass in the fields was not yet barren, and the model army did not need to carry too much forage, and the mules and horses themselves were self-sufficient.

"Dashuai, Prince Heng is here."

Not long after the camp was set up, a personal soldier came to report it.

"Huh? Please, forget it, I'll go and ask for it myself. ”

Xu Changqing also didn't expect that Zhu Youdi, the king of Heng, would be so bold and dare to go out of the city at this time, but the clouds of Azig have been shrouding this area, so he was busy going out to greet Zhu Youdi in person.

"Master Hou, this king is like a baby looking forward to his parents, and he is finally looking forward to you......"

Zhu Youdi is obviously a lot thinner than before, and when he saw Xu Changqing, tears couldn't stop pouring out, as he said, he was really a little baby looking forward to his parents.

Xu Changqing hurriedly went over to support Zhu Youdi and invited him to the big tent first.

As soon as the soldiers served the tea, Zhu Youdi couldn't hold back any longer, and was almost about to kneel down for Xu Changqing, and said hurriedly: "Master Hou, now the situation in our Qingzhou, including Denglai, is not optimistic." Azig is simply a mad dog, except for Dengzhou and Laizhou, he can't beat it for a while, and the entire Denglai has almost been rummaged by him, I'm afraid that I will come to Qingzhou again soon, how can this be good......"

Looking at Zhu Youdi's tearful appearance, Xu Changqing's brows couldn't help frowning.

Although Qingzhou was conquered by the Qing army, many of the people in Shandong were later collected by Xu Changqing, and Xu Changqing gave a lot of feedback to Qingzhou, including various weapons and ammunition and many officers of the model army.

At this time, Qingzhou's population and materials are indeed no longer the grand occasion of the past, but they are basically equivalent to a military city, and the defense force is still very good.

Zhu Youdi, this guy, has the courage to run to his side to ask for help, but he doesn't have the courage to defend the city well, what kind of truth is this?

After Zhu Youdi finished crying, Xu Changqing said unhurriedly: "Lord Wang, if I remember correctly, Qingzhou City still has more than 10,000 combat power at this time, right?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Youdi saw that Xu Changqing's face was not too good, and he came back to his senses all of a sudden, and nodded subconsciously when he was busy.

Xu Changqing suddenly smiled: "Lord Wang, do you know that Azig is wreaking havoc in the Denglai area, breaking several cities such as Jiaozhou, Pingdu, and Laiyang, but it has never broken Dengzhou and Laizhou, why?" ”

"This ......"

Zhu Youdi had already vaguely grasped something, and he was already frightened in his heart, but he was still not sure.

Xu Changqing sneered: "Because these people don't listen to greetings!" Before the Qing army invaded the border, he told them one after another not to be nostalgic for the city, retreat into the favorable terrain between the mountains and seas as soon as possible, and then try to do anything else after the main force of the Qing army left! But how do these people do it? Dogs' days are reluctant to give them their one-third of an acre! Now, when something went wrong, I started to call my crying father to my mother, what did I do earlier? Hehe. Lord Wang, what do you think Azig has been attacking Lebuk, if he goes around to Qingzhou, he will break Qingzhou, what will he do? ”

"This ......"

Zhu Youdi's cold sweat was already like rain, and the whole person trembled.

"Lord Wang, you should know what I'm going to do now. Do you think I still have the manpower to help you defend Qingzhou? ”

Xu Changqing glared at Zhu Youqing coldly, Zhu Youdi didn't dare to look at Xu Changqing's eyes, and hung his head in fear.

Seeing that the effect is almost the same, Xu Changqing's momentum was retracted, and he said seriously: "Lord Wang, you are Yishui's father, and I am Xu Changqing's old Taishan, if I don't help you, can I still help others?" But you need to understand one thing! Asking for people is like swallowing a three-foot sword, relying on people is like climbing nine mountains! We have to solve our own business! Qingzhou City has thick walls, abundant population, abundant materials, and even though the terrain is not dangerous, the pre-war preparations are extremely abundant! Even though Azig has the intention of attacking Qingzhou, but the prince, I have sent troops to Lunan, and it is impossible for Azig not to move. As long as you can stay for three to five days, Azig will definitely be ordered by Dolgon, what are you afraid of? ”

"This ......"

Zhu Youdi was already at a loss as if he had been fished out of the water.

Xu Changqing patted him on the shoulder: "Lord Wang, go back to defend the city with peace of mind, Qingzhou's defense is definitely better than you think." You can rest assured, for three to five days at most, as long as you hold on, everything will be a new world! ”
