Chapter 222: Under the City of Xuzhou (1)

Under the city of Xuzhou, the battle flag fluttered and the 600,000 Qing army was pressed by black, which seemed to be boundless and amazing.

"Chengguo Gong, this battle depends on you, and on the day of the great victory, this king will fulfill his promise to crown you as the king of Xuzhou!" Dolgon stared at the city of Xuzhou in front of him, which was high and deep.

"Please rest assured, the regent, the minions will not live up to their mission!" Li Huaxi nodded on the side, with a compliment, in fact, he was extremely excited, Wang Jue, this is something he couldn't think of before. If this is still in the Ming Dynasty, let alone him, even the descendants of the generations behind him are not the slightest possibility, because the Ming Dynasty does not allow the existence of kings with different surnames at all.

Manchu people will use some such titles to win people's hearts, but there are still people who eat this set, such as Li Huaxi, but they don't want to think about it, it sounds good to say that it is the prince, but in fact, he is not a slave of the Manchurians, and the prince among the Manchus is very different, such a prince is not even a fart in front of a Manchurian Zhang Jing, and the prince who faces the Manchus can only nod his head and waist.

To say that the Li family, before the Qing Dynasty, was originally a Xuzhou clan, operating in Xuzhou City for nearly two hundred years, not only has a wide range of contacts, but also has some back-hands, among which there is a secret passage dug by the ancestors to connect the outside of the city, this secret passage can not allow the three people to pass synchronously, the ancestors of the Li family dug for 20 years to succeed, and the entire Li family knows no more than three people. Dolgon wanted to use this secret passage and the internal response of Xuzhou City, and the inside and outside should join forces to attack Xuzhou in one fell swoop.

Xuzhou City.

Yesterday, Zhu Cihong sent 140,000 reinforcements to the rescue, and finally rescued Ji Feng, Yan Yingyuan and others.

It's just that they originally added up to tens of thousands of troops, and only more than 40,000 people returned to Xuzhou, losing most of them, but fortunately, in the end, they came back, as long as the whole army was not wiped out, with the success of breaking through under the siege of nearly 300,000 Qing troops, it was enough to boost morale, and Zhu Cihong was still very satisfied.

There were more than 43,000 people, of which only 3,000 were left in Ji Feng's First Army of Yinglong's Army, 14,000 in Yan Yingyuan's Fourth Army, more than 6,000 in Chang Shunhou's Lingnan Army, and 17,000 in Jining's Army.

The first army of Yinglong's army was almost scattered, and for the next big battle, Zhu Cihong decided to integrate all the 17,000 Jining troops into the first army, so that the first army could restore the establishment of 20,000 people.

Although the 17,000 Jining army has not been systematically trained by the Ying Long Army, and has not even touched the flintlock pistol, these people have come back from a great battle all the way, and they are all almost dead, and the rest are the elite of the elite, and they will not insult the Ying Long Army.

Zhu Cihong's personal expedition, in addition to a flintlock pistol for each of the officers and soldiers of the Yinglong Army under his command, also brought another 30,000 flintlock pistols, which were replaced in order to prevent damage in the war, but since the new 17,000 people were formed to supplement Ji Feng's first army, Zhu Cihong also transferred a full amount of flintlock pistols to the past.

After only one night's rest, on the second day, Ji Feng urgently trained the officers and men of the First Army under his command, even if the big battle was imminent, it was impossible for them to familiarize themselves with the battle formation and tactics of the Ying Long Army, but at least teach them to shoot and shoot.

Zhu Cihong was discussing military affairs with a group of generals when a soldier suddenly ran in.

"Emperor Qiqi, the regent of Qingyu, Dorgon, wants to see His Majesty outside the city!" The soldier knelt on one knee and reported.

"Dolgon wants to see the emperor, there will be no deception, right?" Zhang Kuishan said with a frown on the side.

"What can you deceive, go, follow me to meet the regent of the Tartars for a while." Zhu Cihong waved his hand, he didn't think there could be any deception, he didn't go out of the city, what could Dolgon do to him.

To say that Zhu Cihong really wanted to meet the surprised Manchu regent, to see if he really had some three heads and six arms, and had done so many things in history that made the Han people sink, if he had the opportunity, he really wanted to cut Dolgon with a thousand knives.

Zhu Cihong led a group of generals to the Xuzhou City Tower.

Under the city, Dolgon stayed about 170 meters away from the city wall, wearing a white armor inlaid with bright yellow Eight Banners representing the identity of the Manchu Qing Dynasty White Banner Lord and Regent.

Dolgon is not as thick and burly as ordinary Manchus, but his face is white, but his body is taller than that of ordinary Han people, but his body is full of a domineering spirit that is not angry and arrogant, which is in line with his identity.

"Peng Cheng, at such a distance, you can be sure that you can kill Dorgon with one arrow." Zhu Cihong estimated the distance of Dolgon, which was already outside the range of bows and flintlock pistols, but some special strong bows could be reached, but this kind of strong bow was not much that many people could pull it away even in the entire Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cihong had seen Peng Cheng's martial arts, which were more powerful than Zhang Kuishan and Huang Degong, so he asked this question.

When he first knew that Peng Cheng had such martial arts, Zhu Cihong was very surprised, you must know that Zhang Kuishan's Huang Degong's martial arts are already rare in the Ming Dynasty, but Peng Cheng is even more powerful, hundreds of ordinary soldiers are not his opponents, Zhu Cihong sighed and secretly rejoiced that he had picked up the treasure, and now Peng Cheng, the current commander of the Jinyi Guard, has been trusted by Zhu Cihong in all directions after some tests.

In fact, what Zhu Cihong didn't know was that Peng Cheng was able to sit in the position of deputy commander of Jinyiwei when he was in the Chongzhen Dynasty, relying not only on merit, but also on strong martial arts.

"Your Majesty, although this distance is enough, Dolgon's own strength is not weak, and the minister has no confidence that he will be able to shoot him." Peng Cheng shook his head and said.

"That's a shame." Zhu Cihong sighed regretfully, but he was not reconciled.

"That's it, you get ready first, and then I will find a way to deceive him, let him go up a while, and you give me the opportunity to shoot him!" A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Zhu Cihong's eyes, and he not only ordered Peng Cheng, but also Huang Degong and other martial arts powerhouses.

Zhu Cihong didn't talk to Dolgon about any morality, if he could kill Dolgon, he would have at least a thirty percent chance of winning this battle.

Peng Cheng and the others received the order and asked his soldiers to take special strong bows and hide in a place that was not easy to be seen to prepare.

When Zhu Cihong looked at Dolgon, Dolgon was also looking at Zhu Cihong, seeing that Zhu Cihong's sixteen-year-old appearance was really as young as he imagined, Dolgon felt very uncomfortable, Zhu Cihong was so young, dominating the Ming Dynasty for only a short year, he could make him so jealous, he was really a fierce opponent, and Dolgon was even more determined that this time he must keep Zhu Cihong in Xuzhou forever.
