However, left wait, right wait, the night of the lurking on duty has changed several times, but I didn't see the Tartars on the side of Anshan Post Fort sending troops to sneak attack.

In fact, not to mention the sneak attack soldiers, even the reinforcements of Haizhou, there is no trace.

Although his generals were still confidently waiting for Jianyu to send troops, Emperor Chongzhen felt that something was wrong. It stands to reason that in the past few days, almost Haoge's cavalry should have arrived at Anshan Post Fort, but why did Yue Tuo never send troops?

Neither Hauge nor Yue Tuo had eavesdropping seeds; Their subordinates also happened to be not carrying the eavesdropping seeds. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen could only rely on his own judgment.

Facing the map, he began to carefully examine his previous thoughts, so as to judge the movements of Yue Tuo's department.

This Anshan post fort, the geographical location is very important, Liaoyang and Haicheng, the northeast is about 60 miles away from Liaoyang, an important town in eastern Liaoning, and Linming Haicheng in the southeast. The location is moderate, the throat of Anshan in the east and west is the gateway to southern and western Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, and it is the key point of the ancient road in southern Liaoning.

If Yue Tuo's troops did not send a cavalry attack from Anshan Post Fort, they would have to take a long detour. Judging from the news sent by Duoduo before, it is impossible to send troops to take the initiative to attack in advance. This can also be proved from Dorgon's side, and there is no relevant news.

If you receive the news sent by Duoduo, and you are worried that you will be discovered by your side when you send troops from Anshan Post Fort, then is it worth taking a long detour? The night on his side is also scattered far away, and it is unknown whether the sneak attack can be successful.

Also, there's something weird. Emperor Chongzhen frowned, looked at the map and continued to think. Why didn't Yue Tuo's department send troops to reinforce Haizhou, wasn't he afraid that Haizhou would be defeated by himself?

As soon as he thought of this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt like an initiation, and he suddenly came to his senses. In order to attract Jianyu, he kept coming to Haizhou, so he actually surrounded Haizhou but did not fight, which was just a little more meaningful.

Obviously, it was because they didn't put enough pressure on Jianyu, so they didn't do anything about it. Otherwise, there would not be no troops to rescue Haizhou!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt that he had relied too much on eavesdropping seeds before, and everything he thought about was based on the news he heard from eavesdropping seeds. Duoduo suggested that he wanted Yue Tuo to send troops to attack Yaozhou Station, and he didn't do anything else, just thinking about eating the soldiers and horses of the Jianyu who attacked Yaozhou Station.

Doing so, thinking about it at this time, is actually sacrificing the basics!

The purpose of his own expedition is to drive the Jianlu, let them consume the accumulated grain and grass, the more land consumed, the better, and finally, Kong Youde gave Jianlu a fatal blow, destroying the food that Jianlu had hoped for, and saving the people of the Ming Dynasty. Then the purpose of this royal expedition has been achieved!

All your thoughts and deeds must be carried out around this purpose, not how many Jianjiao will be eliminated. As long as his goal is achieved, it is estimated that he will starve to death more than 3,000 Jianjun.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen's mood became extremely comfortable, and when he re-examined what strategy he should adopt, he immediately had an idea.

At the same time, in Haizhou City, Duoduo was actually the same as Emperor Chongzhen, and at the same time, he was in a hurry!

The messenger has been back for several days, and there has been no movement at all, let alone hastened to increase troops to aid Haizhou.

Damn, from Anshan Yibao to Haizhou, it's only sixty miles away, even if you climb, you should have climbed to Haizhou! Thinking angrily, Duoduo sent another messenger to urge him.

Now there are more than 10,000 people on the side of Haizhou City, but outside the city, there are about 50,000 Ming troops. What's more critical is that there is not much grain and grass in the city because of the consumption of the Yaozhou Post War. Speaking of which, I have to "thank" the Ming army for packing up most of the infantry troops brought to Yaozhou Station, otherwise, there will be so many mouths, and the city of Haizhou will have to eat soil.

Duoduo told the messenger: "Damn, if you don't come again, the Ming army won't have to fight, and this king will starve to death!" ”

Thanks to the Ming army, they didn't attack the city much! Thinking so in his heart, with the sweat on his forehead, he not only sent someone to Anshan Post Fort to urge, but even directly sent someone to Shengjing to urge Dolgon, which must be useful.

At this moment, I saw a guard rushing inside, kneeling on the ground, and prayed in fear: "The master is not good, the Ming army has come out of the camp on a large scale, and it seems that it is going to attack on a large scale!" ”

"What?" When Duoduo heard this, he was immediately shocked, this is simply afraid of something, just glad that the Ming army did not attack the city much, why in a blink of an eye, the Ming army is about to attack the city in a big way?

He didn't dare to slack off, and immediately galloped to the top of the city to watch the battle.

Sure enough, I saw that in the east, south and west of Haizhou City, the Ming army had already come out of the camp, and the artillery of one gate had been deployed in front of the formation, and the artillery was busy making final preparations.

The artillery positions were preceded by bands of musketeers, archers and pikemen, defending in layers to guard against the Qing Dynasty storming the artillery positions of the Ming army.

Duoduo looked worried, and when he looked back, he found that behind the artillery position, there were also counterweighted catapults.

When he saw this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Although the artillery of the Ming army is powerful, it can only attack in a straight line, no matter what, the city gate is sealed with mud, and the artillery bombardment is not easy to collapse the solid Haizhou city wall.

However, the catapult's attack is parabolic, and it can directly attack the city, and it can also cross the city wall and attack the city. The most important thing is that Duoduo knew that the Ming army had a weapon called "Ten Thousand Enemies", which was to use this kind of catapult to throw into the city to attack, which could effectively disperse the enemy in front of him, so as to calmly occupy this section of the city wall.

After watching the movements of the Ming army outside the city, Duoduo definitely did not dare to send troops out of the city to counterattack. Not to mention that there are not as many soldiers as the Ming army outside the city, but also because in addition to the city gate of the north gate, several other city gates have been blocked by mud. Otherwise, under the heavy artillery bombardment of the Ming army, the city gate would be directly opened.

However, it was not without a way to deal with it, Duoduo immediately sent a military order, and while sending a messenger to report urgently to Anshan Post Fort, he urgently ordered the archers hiding under the city wall to immediately prepare a wet cloth to cover their mouths and noses, and put the soaked cotton cloth quilt or something aside for later use.

If the "10,000 enemies" are thrown into the city, cover them with this soaked cotton cloth, and the soldiers cover their mouths and noses with wet cloths, so that the damage of this "10,000 enemies" can be minimized. In this way, the archers did not have to flee near the city walls, and if the Ming army attacked, they could immediately return fire.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

When the Jianjiao in the city were busy preparing, the artillery of the Ming army outside the city began to roar.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The flying iron bullets smashed on the Haizhou city wall, the battlements, or over the city wall, and landed in the city, making a very loud sound, and at the same time, the earth and stones flew wildly.

On the head of Haizhou City, there are actually artillery, but whether it is range or power, it cannot be compared with the Hongyi cannon of the Ming army. Yes, in fact, it is the same as none.

As soon as the cannon outside the city rang out, there was no one standing on the top of the city. All the captives except the observation post were removed from the city and hid on the side of the city wall.

Neither did he dare to stand on the head of the city, but watched the movement of the observation posts on the city near the city walls, where the iron bullets could not hit. With this war, he also forgot his sorrows.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The sound of artillery continued to sound, and the defeat of the Ming army had been known since the Battle of Gaizhou. This level of shelling is estimated to last for quite some time.

At that moment, Dodor saw movement at the observation post and signaled it.

Immediately, he knew that it was the catapult of the Ming Kingdom that was approaching the city wall, and with the cover of artillery, it was also preparing to attack the city.

So, Duoduo immediately ordered to prepare to cover the soaked cotton quilt with the "ten thousand enemies" thrown in as soon as possible.

After waiting for a while, Dodor saw a stone fly from outside the city, over the walls, and flew far away.

He naturally knew that this was the test launch of the catapult of the Ming army, and after adjusting the counterweight ratio, the accuracy of the catapult would be much improved, and then it was when the catapult began to really attack.

Sure enough, after a few more test firings, the catapult was silent. However, the observation post at the head of the city gave a signal that the army's catapults were about to attack.

"Damn, just bully me that the artillery of the Qing Dynasty is not strong, and he has the ability, so he can compare it to cavalry and shooting!" Seeing this, Duoduo scolded angrily, if Emperor Chongzhen was in front of him, it is estimated that Emperor Chongzhen would have the mind to eat it raw: This is really too bullying!

But fortunately, it was not without countermeasures, after the "10,000 enemies" of the Ming army were cast, the infantry army attacked the city, and when the time came, it was time for the Qing archers to surprise them.

Duoduo was thinking about it, when the sound of the artillery of the Ming army outside the city suddenly stopped, and then he saw large things that crossed the city and fell into the city, or simply fell on the city.

"Bang Chang...... The sound of porcelain smashing on the ground and breaking ...... sounded continuously.

Jianyu, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately took the soaked cotton quilt or something, and rushed to the porcelain on the ground as soon as possible.

But when they rushed closer, they realized that something was wrong.

The "10,000 enemies" are fixed in a wooden frame, which basically ensures that when they land, they will not break. But there were no wooden frames in front of them, and after they fell into the city one by one, they were all shattered, and the contents were still flowing to the ground.

It was too late to say that it was too fast, and it was only a short period of time, and I didn't know how many porcelain vases were broken in the city, and a smell spread.

"It's not good, it's fierce fire oil!" Youjian finally came to his senses, and shouted wildly while retreating.

The other Jianyu, some of them came to their senses, and some of them heard the shouting, and they were all frightened and fled one after another.

However, at this moment, something was thrown in from outside the city. While still in the air, I saw fireworks and smoke, yes, it was the authentic "Ten Thousand Enemies" arrived.

As soon as the "10,000 enemies" hit the ground, they bounced a few times and then spun rapidly on the ground, spewing flames and smoke. In just the blink of an eye, all the fierce fire oil was ignited. Suddenly, the flames that rushed to the sky burned on the southeast, west, and west sides of Haizhou City. Of course, it was not all on the south, east, west, and west sides, but the section of the city wall and the inner part of the city that were the focus of the Ming army's attack were burned.

Fierce fire oil, you use soaked cotton quilt is useless, especially in many places soaked with fierce fire oil, this burn, it is a sea of fire, soaked cotton quilt is equivalent to fueling the fire.

Seeing the opportunity, the captives fled before the fire burned; However, there are still many unlucky Jianlu, who have become living people one by one, crying for their fathers and shouting for their mothers, but they have no sound after a while. Many places in Haizhou City were suddenly filled with the smell of meat. Many Jianyu, whose stomachs were uncontrollable, made a "cooing" sound.

When Duoduo saw this, he was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he immediately shouted to evacuate and retreat to the city. Looking at the burning section of the city wall, Duoduo viciously gave the order, preparing to organize a counterattack after the fire fell, and retake the city wall. Also, if you can't get it back, then prepare for street fighting.

"This king doesn't believe it, hand-to-hand fighting, who have I been afraid of as a Qing warrior?" He stared at the city, and after saying a cruel word, he naturally would not forget, and sent an urgent messenger again to hurry up and urge reinforcements, otherwise, Haizhou might really fall.

By the time he sent the messenger, the previous messenger had already arrived at Anshan Post Fort. After all, it was only sixty miles away, and if the cavalry did not hesitate to gallop wildly, it would only take about an hour.

At this time, on the side of Anshan Post Fort, Yue Tuo was actually already here. At this time, he just welcomed Haoge who came into Anshan Post Castle.

"When will your infantry arrive?" Just as soon as they met, Yue Tuo asked.

Hauge arrived first with the cavalry, and the infantry with food and grass supplies was still behind.

Hearing Yue Tuo's question, Haoge did not ask anything and answer, but asked, "What are you doing, do you want my grain and grass?" ”

Speaking of this, he didn't wait for Yue Tuo to answer, but asked: "I want to ask you, from Liaoyang, you should have already arrived in Haizhou, right?" Why are you still in Anshan Castle? ”

As the saying goes, rescuing soldiers is like fighting fire, and it stands to reason that you should rush to Haizhou to rescue.

However, Yue Tuo did not do so. The real reason is that he is afraid!

In the previous battle of Pyongyang, he had actually seen how strong the Ming army was. If it weren't for the North Korean soldiers who dragged the Ming army back, he would have lost the battle.

On Jianyu's side, the first place in the combat power of the Ming army is not the Guanning Army, but the Imperial Forest Army of the Ming Emperor, followed by the Dongjiang Army. That time, he was still facing the Dongjiang Army led by Lu Xiangsheng.

Yue Tuo thought, although he led a lot more soldiers and horses this time than last time. However, the Ming army was also more numerous and stronger. The leader of the battle was the famous Emperor of the Ming Kingdom. If he goes to the rescue alone, he will be surrounded and sent to help.

Therefore, not only did Duoduo send people to ask him to divide his troops to attack Yaozhou Station, but he didn't do it, and he didn't even go to the rescue, he had to wait for more soldiers and horses before moving, anyway, there would be no problem in Haizhou for a while!
