Chapter 443: Despair
Seeing that the Northern Expeditionary Army under the city stopped, Shang Kexi slammed his fist on the wall and stood up hatefully.
This is one of his few opportunities, the morale of the three armies was mobilized by him, and they were hidden at the head of Ningyuan City, if the enemy attacked lightly, he could give them a blow to the head.
But the place where Liu Heiqi stopped marching was too far away from them, and if he attacked rashly, it would lose the effect of the surprise attack.
After stopping, Liu Heiqi soon found that something was wrong in front of him, how could Ning Yuancheng be so quiet.
The city gate is closed not the appearance of abandoning the city and fleeing, it stands to reason that there should be Qing soldiers guarding the city at the head of the city, thinking of this, Liu Heiqi's forehead rubbed in addition to a sweat, if it wasn't for the military order in time, their vanguard army might have gotten into the ambush of others.
"Be careful, there is a clear dog in front of you in ambush, and then retreat a little outside." Liu Heiqi shouted at the top of his voice, and the Northern Expeditionary Army formed a formation and slowly retreated.
Shang Kexi, who was on the city wall in the distance, saw the Ming army retreating, and knew that it must have been exposed, so he ordered not to ambush under the low wall, and the banner of the Qing soldiers stood at the head of the city, full of soldiers.
Soon, Hou Xuanyan's army arrived, and the city of Ningyuan was once again surrounded by heavy sieges.
This time it is different from Shanhaiguan, no matter how strong Ningyuan is, it is also a city, not a pass. It can't block the way of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, Hou Xuanyan is already familiar with the task of besieging the city while he is still on the road, and the generals under him are each giving orders. Sometimes commanding soldiers and horses to fight seems treacherous and impermanent, but in fact there are rules to follow.
There are only a few taboos in soldiers, and after many battles, they are naturally clear. Otherwise, just reading military books based on the art of war is somewhat on paper, unless it is a military genius and a natural general, otherwise it is very likely that he will suffer.
Hou Xuanyan rode a black horse, this horse has tangled muscles and toned, but his steps are very steady, and his long black tail can't stop sweeping, and it looks like a BMW. The jujube red war horse that accompanied him in the southern and northern wars was covered with injuries and was left in the backyard by Hou Xuanyan for retirement, this one was a BMW sent by Jingbei.
When Liu Heiqi saw Hou Xuanyan coming, he stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "The prince is clever, my old Liu is convinced, and I am happy that the old Wang Ba is really ambushed in the city." If it weren't for the king's reminder, our brothers would have been planted in his hands. ”
Hou Xuanyan nodded, tugged on the reins and bowed his head and said: "Fighting is not child's play, since you are a pioneer general, the brothers under your command can only survive by you." If you die because of a momentary rush, think about the situation of your brothers' old wives and wives. Won't it be worse than death when the time comes? ”
Liu Heiqi's heart was like a heavy blow, and he lowered his head and thought about that terrible situation, it was not 108,000 times more uncomfortable than death. He was convinced, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Lord Wang, the last general understands, thank you for the order." ”
"Well, let's go and carry out the military order, this time let's hold Ningyuan, don't let Shang Kexi run away again." Hou Xuanyan clamped the horse's belly, and the horse slowly moved forward, and after a while, Ningyuan City was in full view.
Standing on the high post and looking down, several military towns outside the Liaodong Pass are stronger and more majestic than the other, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan and others at the beginning, exhausted the treasury and financial resources, and the defense line built did have something.
However, how can a large country always think of building walls to resist foreign invasions, and now it is different from the past, and the development of the times has reduced the cost of expanding the territory and greatly increased the benefits. The well-developed transportation also allowed the imperial court to control an increasing number of areas. If Hou Xuanyan wants to completely solve the border troubles, it is better to let the Arctic Ocean be a natural Great Wall.
Seeing that he was surrounded in the city again, the Qing soldiers were depressed one by one, and if they were able to completely annihilate the enemy's vanguard just now, it would also be a great boost to morale. But Shang Kexi also knew that no matter what he said, the soldiers under his command who had been surrounded for three months could not be demoralized when they were under siege here.
In this matter, he can only hope that Wu Sangui and Kong Youde will come to save him, and Shang Kexi is still very confident in this, not that he trusts Wu Sangui's character. It's that he knows that Wu Sangui is not a stupid person, if he doesn't come to save himself, he will be the one who will face such a situation in the future.
Now the four feudatories of Liaodong are grasshoppers on a rope, they can't avoid it, and they can't even learn from Mao Wenlong to occupy Phi Island, because they know that the sailors of the Ming army can fight better than the army.
They could only resist to the death, and the Ming army that came to the gate was inseparable from them, and they had no chance of surrendering.
A cold wind blew into Shang Kexi's neck, and he reached out and tightened his cloak. Over the years, he has become a little accustomed to the weather in the customs, but he is not very suitable for returning to Liaodong. From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, from outside the gate to the Central Plains Flower World, you can naturally quickly integrate into it, but the sense of gap after withdrawing is not so easy to erase.
Under the miserable sky, the sky was gray and dilapidated, clouds were shrouded in gunsmoke and dust, and the sound of the rumbling iron hooves of the Ming army was heard in all directions.
After Shang Kexi arranged the garrison task, he returned to Ningyuan City and came to the backyard of the government office.
Several pro-soldiers had already cleaned up this place as Shang Kexi's temporary residence, and when they saw him coming, they shouted together: "Lord Wang." ”
Shang Kexi waved his hand, dismissed everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, I want to study the military situation, and no one is allowed to approach." ”
The soldiers retreated one after another, hearing the footsteps outside getting farther and farther away, Shang Kexi's shoulders collapsed and he sat down at the head of the bed.
Even if he is an iron man, he is physically and mentally exhausted, but he can't let his subordinates see him like this.
As long as he shows a little defeated, the already fragile military spirit of his soldiers will suffer a heavy blow.
Shang Kexi lay on the bed, greedily feeling the soft warmth of the futon, and forcibly held himself to prevent himself from sleeping to death.
He could only rest a little, and every day for the next day was a matter of life and death, he didn't know when Wu Sangui would come, but he knew that Hou Xuanyan would attack immediately. That man never gave the enemy a breather, and this time could not be an exception.
With a bang, Shang Kexi, who had just been lying down, was so frightened that he jumped out of bed, and the roof tiles shook.
The shelling began ...
Dense cannon sounds came at once, and in the dim sky outside the window, there was light from time to time.
A sense of despair came to his heart, Shang Kexi was on the verge of collapse, Rao is such a person, and he also has a bottom line to bear.
