Chapter 31 Under the City of Xiangyang

The problem of the Han water channel does not need to be explained.

It can be said that the Qing army was unable to besiege Xiangyang City at all. Therefore, the Qing army is actively trying to find a way to cut off the Han River and block the connection between Yicheng and Xiangyang. It's just that Zhou Fuchen can also be considered to be trained, although compared with many famous generals in water warfare under Zheng Zhilong, he is still a little immature. But compared with the Qing army, it is much more sophisticated.

Zhou Fuchen tried his best to stop the Qing army from cutting off the waterway, and for a time there was no problem here.

But Da Hyeonsan is a big problem.

Because Da Xian Mountain is too close to Xiangyang City, it is only four miles. Hongyi cannons are mounted on the top of Da Hyeon Mountain, and they can directly bombard the head of the city and even the city.

The blow to the morale of the military is too great.

If you want to attack Xiangyang, you must attack Da Xian Mountain. When the Song and Yuan dynasties were at war, Da Xian Mountain was the main point of the battle between the two sides. From ancient times to the present, it has been a place for soldiers to fight.

The more famous one is the place where Sun Jian was ambushed in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. And with the development of artillery, the importance of Da Xian Mountain to Xiangyang has become more and more important. It can even be said that the weight of the world is in Xiangyang, and the weight of Xiangyang is in Da Xian Mountain.

If Da Xian Mountain is not guarded, it will be difficult to defend Xiangyang.

What Zhang Xuan saw, Yang Chengzu and Duoduo would not see, the two sides were already trenching around Da Xian Mountain, and a big battle around Da Xian Mountain, although it could break out.

However, Zhang Xuan is not very optimistic about Yang Chengzu.

Compare Zhang Xuan's bravery in the Eight Banners of the Qing Army on Dahong Mountain. If it's just a siege battle. Zhang Xuan has confidence in Yang Chengzu, but now the battle around Da Xian Mountain is not just a mountain attack, and there are not many people in Da Xian Mountain itself.

Zhang Xuan was worried that Yang Chengzu had to go out of the city to fight because of Da Xian Mountain.

It's just that no matter how worried Zhang Xuan is, he can only sigh slightly. No matter how critical the situation is now, Zhang Xuan can't help for a while, all he can do is believe in Yang Chengzu. Zhang Xuan felt more and more that the war was getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Xuan was just an organizer at best, and the real decisive victory was still the soldiers below.

After all, a person's ability is limited, and he really can't understand how a famous general like Han Xin can do it, and with some scoundrels, he can win many battles and be invincible. He could only sigh, the capable can do anything, in the military, what Zhang Xuan can do is almost the limit.

Just when Zhang Xuan was thinking about Xiangyang City.

After Wu Bai had returned to the camp of Duoduo, he told the situation in Yicheng 1510.

Duoduo inquired in detail and said, "Zhang Xuan returned to Yicheng? ”

"Exactly." Wu Bai said.

Instinctively, Dodor sensed something was wrong.

Luo Rucai is also a veteran, Yicheng also has tens of thousands of horses, and there is also water support, and the attack is not enough, but there is more than enough to defend, as for calling Zhang Xuan over so quickly?

However, this slightest doubt, Duoduo did not think much about it.

Instead, he immediately looked at Da Hyeon.

In fact, Da Hyun Mountain is not a mountain, but a small mountain range, with the title of Xiangyang Sanxian, however, at this moment, the focus of Duoduo's attention is a mountain in the southwest of Xiangyang City, the top of the mountain is only a few miles away from the city wall, condescending. The most important thing.

When Duoduo came to Xiangyang City, he took a fancy to this place at first sight. and set up camp on this mountain.

But Yang Chengzu did not give it for nothing, and such an important place was not without guards.

Because the remnants of the camp led by Yuan Zongdi, Li Guo and others suffered heavy losses in the two battles for Fancheng, especially this time when Duoduo came over, the original Fancheng Pass was completely demolished when Shang Kexi retreated.

Li Guo rebuilt the city on the site of Fancheng. But when the foundation had not yet been laid, it encountered a surprise attack by the Qing army, and it was another defeat, but fortunately, Zhou Fuchen responded. It can be regarded as crossing the Han River and withdrawing to the Qing Xiangyang City.

This battle can also be said to be the first contact between Yang Chengzu and the Duoduo army.

Duoduo listened to Wubai's words and did not say much. I wanted to put this matter down, and said, "Convene all of you to discuss this matter in the future." ”

"Wow." One said.

In just a few moments, all the units of the Qing army arrived.

Duoduo rode on his horse and said: "The day before yesterday, I sent people into the city to persuade me to surrender, but I didn't want to be cut off by the thieves and returned. ”

Duoduo's tone was very flat, and he didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with his words.

At one word, many of the people below will have red eyes.

Some people licked their lips, and after the Qing army entered the customs, Dolgon accepted Fan Wencheng's suggestion to raise the king's army and not kill more.

However, a lot of the talk is just talk. If many things can be done with a single order, there are not so many things in the world.

The Qing army entered the customs several times and killed people. Sending troops and releasing horses, for them, is not much different from hunting, and it is all about harvesting. Just a word from Dorgon can make the wolf eat grass without delay, but that is impossible. However, the upper echelons of the Qing army also had a realistic need for this, and the upper echelons reached an agreement, and after the order, even if they were reluctant, many people were killed in a big way.

But if you can't go on the bright side, there are other ways.

For example, the massacre of Tongguan. Just make excuses. Some people rebelled, and now resist the heavenly soldiers, the Qing army has always been like this, anyone who dares to resist the city. The slaughter of the city is also a matter of course.

"King Pingxi." Dodor said.

"The minions are here." Wu Sangui said.

Wu Sangui has not yet shaved his head, wearing the clothes of a Ming Dynasty general, in fact, it is not only Wu Sangui alone, the Qing army has just entered the customs, the system is still very chaotic, and there is no shaving order yet. Therefore, whether it is in the army or in the DPRK, there are obvious differences in hairstyles, and one side is the tail of the money rat. One side is the Ming Dynasty dress.

At this moment, Wu Sangui looks dignified, and he looks like a handsome uncle.

When Wu Sangui was a teenager, he took his family to save his father and made a great reputation, coupled with his good appearance, he was almost regarded as a contemporary Changshan Zhao Zilong in his evaluation at the time. I just never thought of it. In the end, it ended up like this, and the reputation of his youth was never said again.

Duoduo said: "The king of Pingxi is a famous general in the world, and the first achievement of attacking Xiangyang, the king of Pingxi will come, and the mountain will be handed over to the king of Pingxi." ”

Wu Sangui didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and said: "The slave must do his best to capture Daxian Mountain for the prince." ”

"That's fine," said Dord. ”

"Wubai, Tuhai." Dodor said.

The two stepped forward one after another and said, "The slave is here." ”

Both men were Manchurian generals.

Duoduo said: "You bypass Da Hyeon Mountain and set up a village by the Han River, as long as you can block the Han River, it will be a great achievement." ”

"Wow." The two saluted and said, "The slave understands." ”

Duoduo said: "The rest of the people are here with me, see how Yang Chengzu responds." ”

Under Duoduo's supervision, Wu Sangui did not dare to slack off, and immediately began to attack the mountain with 30,000 men and horses. The sound of cannons spread from the top of Da Hyeon Mountain to the city.

Above the head of Xiangyang City, headed by Yang Chengzu and followed by a large number of generals, he was looking at the top of Daxian Mountain.

Wu Sangui's brigade began to attack the mountain under the cover of artillery fire. Garrisoned on the mountain is Bai Wang's department, this department, although the number is not large, but it is condescending, and the number of artillery is quite large, and for a while, Wu Sangui's department can't raise its head.

However, the men and horses under Wu Sangui are indeed first-class elites. The last bit of the elite Liao army in the Ming Dynasty. was suppressed, not only did he not mean to be frustrated, but he became more and more courageous, but after a while, he attacked the top of the mountain, and then he was beaten down again.

It's just that it looks like I can't withstand a few attacks.

Seeing this, Bai Wang said: "Guogong, your subordinates please fight, who belongs to the headquarters outside the city, and your subordinates please go out of the city to supervise the war." ”

Seeing this, Yang Chengzu nodded and said: "Since General Bai has this intention, how can I not be allowed to do so, but I can't go over at this time, stay until night, and it's not too late for General Bai to lead the troops out of the city." ”

Bai Wang also saw that the Qing army was eyeing the Qing army on the side, and if he dared to go out of the city at this moment, he would definitely be targeted by the Qing army. A big war is indispensable.

Yuan Zongdi looked at the situation in Da Xian Mountain, and suddenly said: "My subordinates have a plan, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Yang Chengzu said: "General Yuan said. ”

Yuan Zongdi said: "From the perspective of his subordinates, Da Xian Mountain is not far from the city, so why not build a Yong Road to connect with Da Xian Mountain." ”
