The tactic of encircling three queyi is not a cheat, but it has a good effect when used by the superior side in siege warfare.

Being able to hold on to a small guard post for more than half a month in the encirclement of the main force of 60,000 troops in Hongtang shows that the strength of the Ming army stationed in Tianjin Weizhong is good, but in less than three hours after the moment when the city of Tianjin was broken, the more than 10,000 Ming Dynasty soldiers who were still stationed in it have begun to show signs of defeat.

With a battle loss ratio of more than 50 percent, in the field battle, any Ming Dynasty army must have broken up and fled, but in the battle of holding, the losses in this way will not make an army that is still fighting completely collapse.

After all, the city is staggered with lanes and a complicated environment, and even if the friendly troops suffer heavy losses and collapse and retreat, the presence of other teams with still morale and military discipline can always make the withdrawn comrades regain their senses and return to the battlefield again.

However, when it is really cornered and cannot see the dawn of victory, any army in this era will inevitably collapse in the end, and the army will fall apart.

Hongtang's army deliberately stayed, and the southern gate of Tianjin, which did not send troops to deploy, slowly opened, and countless soldiers dragged their heavy steps and fled in a hurry with all kinds of goods and goods that they didn't know where to scavenge.

Not long after, a group of brightly dressed and arrogant soldiers, riding high-headed horses, drove the dense flow of people at the city gate to both sides, allowing a convoy of more than ten carriages to slowly withdraw from Tianjin City.

The soldiers and civilians who had been interrupted in the past had their escape path interrupted, everyone looked at this convoy angrily, but they dared not speak out, because the owner of this convoy, the current commander of the Tianjin Guard, and the family members of the commander of the Tianjin Left and Right Guards.

At least, until this moment, these hereditary commanders, who have always seemed to be mediocre in ability, are still sticking to the city of Tianjin, but they have withdrawn their families first, and they are already more courageous than many military attaches in the Ming Dynasty.

Tianjin Wei commander Ni Bin, hereditary commander of the thirteenth generation, before him the previous Ni commander, when the Qing people occupied the north, for the family and the country to stick to Tianjin City, until the death of the war, so when Sun Chuanting led the Wang Division to recover the north, Tianjin Wei as one of the three Davids of the Ming Dynasty, the authority of its commander, or returned to the Ni clan.

Now Tianjin Wei is about to fall into the hands of the enemy again, regardless of whether it is possible for the Ming Dynasty to recover the lost territory in the future, if their Ni clan wants to preserve their current wealth and status in the future, and have the opportunity to return to Tianjin in the future, then he Ni Bin can only die here.

He also had this plan, as well as Zhao Cunzhi, the commander of the Tianjin Left Guard, and Mei Yingwu, the commander of the Tianjin Right Guard.

The people and the fugitive soldiers, at least these commanders and the adults live and die with Tianjin City, and they, the soldiers and the common people, can also have more time to escape from this land of right and wrong.

The flow of people is surging, looking down from the sky, in the south of Tianjin from the vicinity of the city gate, there is a gray pair of long tongues, which has been stretched towards the distant Hebei boundary.

"The generals in Tianjin City still have some backbone, and they haven't fallen into the spirit of my Han family!"

Outside the Liaodong Pass, in the battle with the Qing Dynasty, the Hongtang army looked down on the most, that is, the group of Korean soldiers in the Qing army, as well as the Han army, because many times, the other party often maintained a certain strength, but always under the simple confrontation of the Hongtang army, they were defeated, collapsed and fled.

Of course, this is naturally a good thing for Hongmen, but for the Hongtang soldiers who are soldiers, no one will look down on this group of people.

In the end, when the Hongtang army drove the Qing people to the bitter cold land of Siberia, and the base camp ordered to replenish the manpower from this group of surrendered soldiers, all the Hongtang soldiers were disgusted from top to bottom, as if they had accidentally eaten stool.

"But their soldiers don't have the backbone of a general, on the south gate side, the fleeing team of Tianjin Wei has spread more than ten miles away, and it is estimated that the number of people who have escaped from the city is more than 30,000!"

Although Xiao Xiurong admired the troops who were still stubbornly resisting in Tianjin, as well as the few flags erected high in the city, he made a meaningful report to Wu Jie.

"Well, it's time to wrap up!"

Wu Jie stretched his waist and gave a posterior command in a relaxed tone: "Send a signal to Sheng Gao, let them do it!" ”

"And Kong Youde's side, tell him not to kill Lao Tzu, let Lao Tzu lose too many people, Lao Tzu will let him not eat and walk around!"

Deliberately opening up the gap that allowed the people in the Tianjin Acropolis to flee was a trap released by Wu Jie and them from the very beginning, and they wanted to swallow up the tens of thousands of households in the Tianjin Acropolis from the beginning to enrich the Hongmen.

If you want to embark on the road of competing for world domination, it is obviously impossible for the world to do it with the millions of people in Dayuan Island and Luzon Islands in Hongmen.

Although there have been many hardships in the Chinese territory over the years, and the casualties of the people at the bottom are not counted, but in the territory controlled by the Ming Dynasty, there are 70 or 80 million people.

This is also the reason why the Ming Dynasty is still the biggest opponent of Hongmen to dominate the world, the Ming Dynasty controls at least seventy percent of the population of China, if all the people are integrated, just spitting can make Hongmen Li Tianyang's ambition completely drowned in the Taihu Lake composed of spit.

If Hongmen wants to continue to expand and enrich their strength in the future, then they can only use war to feed the war, increase the number and strength of their army by annexing and absorbing the people who occupy the land and surrender troops, and narrow the gap with the basic strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Tianjin Wei as the nearest guard from the Beijing Division, and one of the three Davids in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, although the Qing Dynasty was conservative in the past few years, but now in the information roughly collected by the Hongmen guards, there are still about fifty or sixty thousand people living in it, which is not a tempting fruit for Hongmen!

If you can swallow the population of Tianjin Wei Bacheng, and then go down to the Beijing Division and take down the more than 100,000 people living in the Beijing Division, then it will be a great result for Hongmen, which is vast and sparsely populated in the Liaodong Theater!

You must know that after Hongtang occupied Liaodong and annexed the land and island population of the Qing people, the total population of the Liaodong Theater was actually only more than 200,000.
