Chapter 388: I must have given you the scenery
Kong Yinzhi is ready to run!
The gold and silver were all packed up, and the strong men of the 5oo guards were also summoned, ready to leave after dark......
But before it got dark, Shi Kefa, the "thief" who killed a thousand knives, came with his own soldiers!
Now the defenders in the main city of Qufu are Shi Kefa's 5ooo Governor and Kong Yinzhi's 5ooo Kong family soldiers. Although the number of people on both sides is similar, Shi Kefa's supervisor is a regular army, and Liu Zhaoji, who was born in the Liao army, and Shi Kefa's righteous son Shi Dewei have been in charge of training for almost a year...... Although it is not a hard training like "997", one exercise a day can still be guaranteed. This level of training is not comparable to that of the Confucian family's clan soldiers!
If you really want to get on fire, the soldiers of the Kong family can't resist it......
Moreover, what did Kong Yin want to do after planting the fire and merging Shi Kefa? Take refuge in the Tartars? He scolded the eighteenth generation of his ancestors, and slandered the Tartars for coming to reverse Confucius's fight, did he dare to be a traitor?
There are also many Ergon who will not kill him openly in order to win over the world, but if you feed some poison or something, it is not a trivial matter?
He was so afraid of death, how could he be willing to eat the poison of the tartars?
If you don't go to Tartar, can you still run to Jiangnan? He merged Shi Kefa and then went to Jiangnan, didn't he send him to death?
"Well, why is there no way to live?"
Kong Yinzhi sighed and sat down on a Taishi chair, his old face almost twisted into a ball.
"There's a way to live! Why didn't you survive? Shi Kefa smiled, "There are many strong soldiers in Qufu City, and the food is enough to eat for more than a year and a half, and there are 100,000 regiments of training troops trained by Gaofutai and Zuo Tuan who can come to help at any time."
As long as we stick to Qufu for a few months, and wait until the veterans of the division are tired, Gao Futai and Zuo Tuanlian will naturally bring troops to fight with the captives. β
Can you still win? That's a tartar! Hong Chengchou can't win, can you Shi Kefa still win?
Kong Yinzhi didn't believe it! However, he can't leave now, so he has to perfunctory Shi Kefa said: "The army has contacted Gao Futai and Zuo Tuanlian to train them?" β
Shi Kefa touched his beard, so embarrassed, "It's good to get in touch!" The governor practiced with Gao Futai and Zuo Tuan for half a year. As long as the Tatars besiege Qufu for half a year, they will lead their troops to help...... Now they have a total of no less than 100,000 team training, and after half a year, the training has been completed, which is enough to fight the Tartars!
With Qufu's Jintang City, it can be defended for half a year, right? The Tatars have been attacking Qufu for less than half a year, so the veterans of the division should be tired, right? With tired soldiers, against the tens of thousands of troops trained by the Gaofutai and the Left Regiment, are you still afraid of being invincible? β
Speaking of his plan, Shi Kefa couldn't help but begin to admire himself - in the end, he was a soldier who had been the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department!
It's a pity, if the emperor had let him go to Beijing earlier, why would there be today's situation?
"I hope so!" Kong Yinzhi sighed, but he still didn't give up the idea of escaping in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.
However, his thoughts could not escape Shi Kefa's eyes. Grand Inspector Shi squinted his eyes and carefully looked at this Yan Shenggong, wondering if he was going to bury the scenery......
At this time, Shi Kefa's adopted son Shi Dewei came in in a hurry, and after seeing Shi Kefa and Kong Yinzhi, he saluted first, and then said: "Most of the nights sent to the south and east of the city have been brought back...... The cavalry of the Tartars has gone around to the southeast of Qufu and copied our back road! β
Finished......
Kong Yinzhi's tears came down, but this time he had no place to run, so he had to carry it stiffly in Qufu!
Hearing the news, Shi Kefa also dispelled the idea of burying Kong Yinzhi in a big way, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just some Tartar squad rangers?" What is there to be afraid of? Grandpa, the governor has some military affairs, so I will leave first, so you can wait for the good news with peace of mind! β
Where did Kong Yinzhi know that he was almost "beautiful", and he still complained about those damn Tartar cavalry, what are you doing in the southeast of Qufu if you have nothing to do? Don't you know that the siege will be "three lacking one"? and the defenders of the city were given up......
In fact, Shi Kefa and Kong Yinzhi both misunderstood the intentions of the Qing soldiers, and Duoduo sent cavalry to the southeast of Qufu not to cut off Shi Kefa and Kong Yinzhi's retreat, he sent people to find "leeks".
This way over really made Duoduo angry, and the "leeks" ran away! Along the way, I didn't meet a few living people...... Of course, the Han people in the west of Yanzhou Mansion have not all run out, and there are still many Han people in Caozhou, Dingtao, Juye, and Jiaxiang. But they are not "leeks", but armed thugs! They were divided into two parts, one was the team led by Li Huajing, an old subordinate of Liu Zeqing, who used Caozhou City as a base to fight against the Qing army.
Li Huajing and Liu Zeqing are both local snakes in the west of Yanzhou Prefecture, and most of the backbones of the department are also from the vicinity of Caozhou, which can be said to be deep-rooted. After obtaining the territory in the western part of Yanzhou, Li Huajing also learned from the example of overcoming the difficulties of the guards, and used the land of the prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction to recruit strong men, and in a few years, he had already won 10,000 Shandong heroes.
There is also a rebel army, that is, a rebel army under the banner of Li Zicheng, which was made up of a good man named Gong Wencai, gathered 20,000 people, and took a low hill called "Manjiadong" in Jiaxiang County as a stronghold, and controlled a lot of surrounding territory. Because these territories were given to Li Huajing by Zhu Cihong, he and Li Huajing also had conflicts, fought several battles, and the victory was indistinguishable. Later, it was Li Yan who sent the red lady to mediate, and divided the three counties of Jiaxiang, Yuncheng, and Juye to Gong Wencai, and asked Gong Wencai to obey Li Huajing in name, and also worshiped the handle, so that the struggle between the two sides was settled.
After Li Huajing and Gong Wencai joined forces, the territory in the west of Yanzhou was very strong, all of them were armed thugs, although they were miscellaneous cards, but the green battalion soldiers of the Qing Dynasty really couldn't scare them.
Duoduo couldn't spare the Eight Banners to deal with these thugs for the time being, so he had to send people to the southeast of Qufu to arrest Ling Latinβhe had to pull people to help dig a trench to surround Qufu City! And a little more people!
Because the scale of Qufu City was much larger than previously known, the workload of digging trenches also increased greatly.
Before the Qing army knew that there was a Qufu City, they didn't know that there were nine branch forts outside the city - these nine branch forts were placed more than 2oo steps away from the Qufu City Fort, which was equivalent to expanding the scope of Qufu City by five or six hundred meters! In order to enclose such a large area with a trench, the amount of work was several times larger than originally expected, and it was almost necessary to dig a trench more than 20 miles long.
Relying on Liu Liangzuo, Xu Dingguo, and Wu Weihua's three traitors, when will they be busy digging the trench?
In addition, there are tens of thousands of troops under the command of Duoduo who need supplies. When he and He Luo met in Linqingzhou, the total strength was about 45,000. About 10,000 people were left along the way, and 35,000 people were brought to Qufu City, which is not a small number. However, they didn't bring much grain and grass - except for the fact that there was no way to march on the grassland, and they had to bring enough supplies, the Qing army generally fought wherever they went.
But this time, Duoduo sent troops to Shandong, but encountered unprecedented trouble - the "leeks" have all run away, where to grab grain?
If he can't grab food, how long can his army of 30,000 or 40,000 last under Qufu City? I also surrounded the reinforcements, and I starved to death!
At the same time that Duoduo sent a horse team to the southeast of Qufu to catch "leeks" and grab grain, he also began to observe the situation of Qufu's city defense.
It was a city he had never seen before, a large city in the middle, with nine "horns", like the sun, and each of the nine horns facing a round fort made of sacks.
"Cao Zhenyan, can your Hongyi cannon destroy those round forts?"
Standing on a car-modified lookout car, looking at it with a monocular for a long time, Duoduo turned his head and asked Cao Zhenyan, the bull of the Han Army Artillery Team of the White Flag.
"Back to the master," Cao Zhenyan was full of confidence, "the minion brought ten Hongyi cannons this time, which is enough to raze those earthen forts piled up with sacks." β
"Good!" Duoduo nodded and pointed to the round fort in front of him, "Then give you a day to use ten Hongyi cannons to collapse this round fort, and the Nikan of Qufu knows the strength of our Qing artillery team!" β
"Wow!"
