Chapter 271: Wu Sangui dispatched troops
After the Manchu Qing Dynasty went south, it should be because of the hot weather, and the Eight Banners returned to the north to escape the summer, resulting in the emptiness of troops in the south of the Yangtze River.
Xiangyang is located in the northwest of Hubei Province, in the south of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains, in terms of location, it is considered a southern place.
It is now the end of June, and the south is gradually entering the hottest season, and the Qing soldiers under the command of Azig are not adapted to the climate in the south and the increasing number of mosquitoes.
The Qing army was already difficult to sleep, and the Ming army was troubled, and it was even more sleepy, so they simply took action, lightly lost, and prepared to attack the city to avenge the robbery of the camp.
When the Ming army robbed the camp, Wu Sangui was afraid that many Ming troops would go out of the city at the same time, so he guarded the camp and did not lead the troops out of the camp, so he did not have any losses under his account.
The Qing army's biggest loss was the two Han banners, nearly 1,000 people died, and a Jialazhangjing Wu Shoujin was killed, nine Niu Lu, most of the camp tents were burned, and the most important gunpowder was almost completely destroyed, ten red-coated cannons, became decorations, while the Ming army only killed more than 300 people and captured 100 people.
Azig received a report, and his violent temper was ignited at once, and a large number of officers of the two Han banners, such as Tong Tulai and Li Shutai, were reprimanded.
When Wu Sangui heard that the gunpowder was lost, his heart couldn't help but sink, so he immediately found Azig and said: "Lord Wang, there is no gunpowder in the cannon, although there are some in the lowly army, but they can't support the consumption of the siege, and the lowly thinks that it is better to postpone the siege, build warships first, and build siege equipment as the best policy!" ”
Azig heard this, although he knew that Wu Sangui was reasonable, but he was angry in his heart, and he also wanted to test the basic situation of the defenders of Fancheng, so he refused: "The siege of the city cannot be delayed, this king is not limited to the king of Pingxi to break the city today, how the king of Pingxi wants to fight, this king will not interfere, but within seven days, Fancheng must be taken, within a month, the king will stand at the head of Xiangyang City, as for whether to build a ship, whether to build a machine, it is all up to the king of Pingxi to decide." ”
After a scuffle at night, Azig had realized that there seemed to be some changes in the Gao Yigong Department that he couldn't say, not the original lost dog, and it didn't seem too simple to attack Fancheng, and he himself was not good at siege, so he simply handed over the siege to Wu Sangui.
"Chirp~" Wu Sangui beat Qian'er and withdrew from the big tent.
Standing outside the tent, he couldn't help but straighten his waist, his face leaked a hint of relaxation, and he was still very glad that Azigeken had given him authority to command the siege.
What he was most afraid of was that Azig gave his soldiers their lives in vain, and now that he has the command power, he will be able to save the lives of his soldiers, but Azig stipulates that within a month, he will break through the two big cities of Fancheng and Xiangyang, but it makes him frown slightly.
Xiangfan is a fortified city, and it is not easy to attack, and the shortage of gunpowder in the army undoubtedly increases the difficulty of attacking the city again, but fortunately, he has many soldiers and horses, more than three times that of the Ming army, and he already has a plan in his heart.
Wu Sangui returned to the camp, more than 30 elite warriors came to the tent to wait, they saluted in unison, the iron armor on their bodies sounded, Wu Sangui glanced at these henchmen who had followed him for many years, and his heart was full of pride.
In this world, he can fight habitually, can be called a famous general, he Wu Sangui called the second, even the Manchu kings did not dare to say that they were the first, he was fifty-three horsemen, and he rescued his father's peerless existence in the 40,000 Manchurian army.
Wu Sangui is not even afraid of the Eight Banners, let alone an ordinary Ming army?
In his opinion, although Xiangyang is difficult to fight, with his ability, it is not impossible to break the city within a month.
"Where is the guerrilla Guo Yunlong?" After Wu Sangui walked to the handsome case, he took out an arrow from the case and shouted solemnly.
"The end will be here!" A middle-aged general in his thirties immediately came out of the ranks and knelt down on one knee.
Wu Sangui nodded: "This king ordered you to carry two thousand soldiers and horses, three hundred craftsmen, and ten thousand people, to Niushou Village, fifty miles upstream, to collect ships and urge the people to build ships." ”
"The last general commands~" Guo Yunlong responded with his fists clenched, then got up and took the arrow and retreated to the side.
"You can do it right away!" Wu Sangui waved his hand slightly, Guo Yunlong respectfully retreated outside the tent, and Wu Sangui then shouted: "Where is the general Hu Shouliang?" ”
"The end will be here!" Another general came out of the ranks, knelt on one knee, and waited for orders.
Wu Sangui took out another arrow and handed it to him: "You can collect the gunpowder in the camp and send it to the Lianghan Banner, and then lead 2,000 soldiers and horses, 100 craftsmen and 10,000 people, and build ladders, rushing cars, tank cars, siege towers and other equipment on the spot." ”
"Nuo~" Hu Shouliang took the arrow, and then immediately withdrew from the camp.
"Where is General Fang Xianting?" Wu Sangui then gave the order, he saw that he knelt on the ground to receive the order, so he immediately handed out the order arrow, and commanded: "The army fights, grain and grass first, this king ordered you to be the grain supervisor, lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Xinye, and strictly prevent the Ming army from harassing the grain road, in addition, this king wants you to summon Luo Xiujin, the governor of Henan, to prepare a large amount of gunpowder for this king, and send it to Xiangyang!" ”
"I'm going to do it!" Fang Xianting took the arrow and immediately went to prepare.
"Where's the lieutenant?" Wu Sangui then ordered.
Yang Kun was Wu Sangui's most confidant general, and during the Battle of One Stone that year, he went to the Qing camp for Wu Sangui and asked Dolgon to send troops, and finally defeated Li Zicheng's troops.
At this time, he heard Wu Sangui's words, so he immediately strode out of the column and saluted: "The last general Yangkun, obey the orders of the prince!" ”
"After dawn, you can lead 10,000 infantry troops and drive 20,000 people to fill the moat!" Wu Sangui then said to the rest of the people: "The rest of the generals, go back to the camp to rest, and obey the transfer at any time!" ”
"Nuo~" The generals should all respond.
After Wu Sangui finished his order, he immediately let the generals disperse, and he was about to close his eyes and take a nap, but the guards came to report that Azig had something to do, so he had to go to the camp with the yellow flag again.
In Fancheng, the Ming army did not expect that their robbery of the camp made the Qing soldiers sleepless all night, Gao Yigong and others climbed the city wall from the rope ladder, and then went to the city tower to rest, and recuperated enough to prepare for the attack of the Qing soldiers after dawn.
When the genius was bright, the Ming soldiers guarding the city on Fancheng suddenly shouted loudly: "Come on, look, look, what the Qing soldiers are doing!" ”
The voice of the soldiers provoked the nearby soldiers to run up to the city wall to see what was going on, and Gao Yigong, Liu Tichun and other Ming army generals were also awakened by the soldiers.
When they came to the city wall and looked at the Qing camp, they saw that the Qing soldiers under the city were lined up, but they didn't look like they were going to attack the city, they were just quietly riding on horses, and they didn't know what they wanted to do.
At this time, a Qing army Niu Lu walked to the city and said loudly: "I, the British prince of the Qing Dynasty, have invited General Gao, General Liu, and the soldiers of the Ming army in Fancheng to watch a good show. ”
