Wei Wujun's rockets screamed in the middle of the night, and Duoduo had to mobilize a large number of men and horses out of the camp to drive a small force of Wei Wujun away from the camp.

There were several small battles between the two sides, and the Qing troops who left the camp stepped on a lot of earth mines, losing more than 20 soldiers before forcing the Wei army to withdraw.

There was still an hour before dawn, as the rockets disappeared and the flames were extinguished, the Qing army camp and the head of Shangqiu City gradually quieted down.

However, after such an incident, the Qing army could no longer sleep, and Liu Jun, the head of the city, was also very excited, and under the command of Liu Heizi, it was like beating chicken blood, and moved the rolling stone and wood to the city wall.

Liu Heizi asked Deng to go to Yangzhou to escape the war, and as soon as Deng left Shangqiu, there were spies to report to Gao Yihuan.

Although they are brothers, there are actually many Gao Yihuan's spies among the Liu people.

The two armies have cooperated many times, and the relationship is also very friendly, and it is not particularly difficult for Gao Yihuan to arrange eyeliner in Liu Junzhong. Originally, Gao Yihuan didn't have much eyeliner in Liu Jun, but after the Battle of Runing, Gao Yihuan felt that Liu Heizi was not very reliable, so he ordered Xuan Yiwei to further infiltrate Liu Jun and develop more eyeliners.

After Gao Yihuan got the news that Liu Heizi sent his family away, he was very disappointed in Liu Heizi, at the critical moment, Liu Heizi still wanted to rely on the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Heizi sent the Deng family away to avoid trouble, which also showed that he was not strong enough and might escape.

Gao Yihuan immediately wrote a letter, and then sent someone to find the Deng family, saying that he would send troops and let the Deng family take the Deng family to Nanyang.

For Liu Heizi, this news was tantamount to a bolt from the blue, and the whole person was stunned in an instant.

Liu Heizi suddenly stood tirelessly at the head of the city like a chicken, commanding the soldiers to arrange defenses, boost morale, and live and die with Shangqiu.

At dawn, the cavalry of the Qing army battalion came out in all directions, and the horse army of the brigade went west to explore the traces of the Wei Wu army, and finally found that it was only a small group of cavalry, avoiding the Qing army's sentry cavalry, and taking advantage of the night to touch Shangqiu, Gao Yihuan's main force, still standing still.

In the tent of the Qing army commander, Duoduo listened to the report of the Heluo Society, frowned, turned his head to Azig and said: "A false alarm, Gao Manzi is trying to distract our energy, so that we cannot capture the city and consume our troops in the siege." ”

Azig didn't really fight Gao Yihuan, but now it seems that he is indeed a difficult character, "Listening to the movement in the city last night, the morale of the defenders must be greatly boosted, Gao Manzi's goal has been achieved, how is the fifteenth brother going to deal with it?" ”

Duoduo was silent, with Gao Yihuan watching from the side, this battle was really not easy to fight.

The Qing army continued to attack, with heavy losses, and may not be able to take the city, and the army must also beware of Gao Yihuan taking advantage of the fatigue of the army to attack the city suddenly. In this way, the Qing army had scruples, and it was unable to attack the city with all its might, and Gao Yihuan's goal was achieved.

If you don't attack, time will be wasted, and with the resources of the Qing Dynasty, you can't consume the Southern Dynasties.

"There is only one way now, and that is to force Gao Yihuan to send troops!" Duoduo said hatefully.

Duoduo is ready, as long as Gao Yihuan dares to send troops, Duoduo is confident that Gao Yihuan will be defeated on the plain.

Azig frowned, "What are you going to do?" ”

Duoduo groaned for a while, "Now there are only two ways, one is to continue to storm the city to see if Gao Yihuan comes to help, and the other is to force Nanjing so that Gao Yihuan has to be saved!" ”

"Which method is the fifteenth brother going to take?" Azig asked.

Duoduo said in a deep voice: "The high barbarian is not moving, he is waiting for the opportunity to send troops. This guy is not a loyal minister of the Southern Dynasty, nor is he a heroic hero, but a traitor with wolf ambitions. He would not consider the life or death of the defenders of Shangqiu, nor would he obey the orders of the small court in Nanjing. There are only two possibilities for Gao Manzi to send troops, one is that he feels that the time has come, and the other is that he has to send troops! ”

Azig frowned and bowed slightly, if Gao Manzi was really like what Duoduo described, then this person was really a character.

Duoduo continued: "If you want Gao Yihuan to send troops, the first way is to make Gao Yihuan feel that our army has suffered heavy losses under Shangqiu City, the army has not been able to attack for a long time, and the morale is low, and he can have a chance of winning if he sends troops. However, the initiative of this method is still in Gao Yihuan's hands, he can send troops, or he can continue to watch us consume, and when we run out of food, we will retreat by ourselves, so I am not optimistic about this strategy. The second method is to lock up Shangqiu and Xuzhou, and then I set up an ambush and besiege the city to send reinforcements, while the Twelfth Brother approached Nanjing in a devastating posture, so that Gao Manzi felt that if he did not send troops, the Southern Dynasty would be destroyed. Although Gao Manzi is not loyal to the Southern Dynasty, it is impossible for him to watch the Qing Dynasty occupy Jiangnan, once the Southern Dynasty is at risk of being destroyed, he will definitely send troops to rescue, and then I will be able to encircle and annihilate him in the East Henan Plain. ”

This is almost the same thing that Azig came to discuss with Dodor, and Azig nodded, "Okay, then follow this idea." Once the Huai River freezes, the entire Jiangbei is a smooth road for the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, and when our troops press Nanjing, the fifteenth brother, you spread the net to wait for the high barbarian. If this battle is fought well, the trend of our Qing Dynasty dominating the world will be irreversible. ”

At that moment, the two discussed some details, and Azig took the guards and headed for Xuzhou.

Runing City, in order to be able to contain the Qing army, Gao Yihuan has already arrived in Runing City from Nanyang.

In the past month or so, Gao Yihuan's main force has not moved, but he has made frequent small moves and has not done less things.

In addition to sending people to contact Zhang Xianzhong, he also sent a large number of firearms to Nanjing to enhance the strength of the Ming army.

Eighty-nine out of ten of the world's wealth is gathered in the land of Jiangnan, and the gains and losses of Jiangnan can be said to be very important to the impact of the situation in the world.

The Qing army now has the advantage of strength and combat power, and if it occupies Jiangnan, then its human, financial, and material resources will also increase exponentially. Moreover, the Qing army will not be like the Nanjing court, in the use of Jiangnan's material and financial resources, if the Qing army occupies Jiangnan, it will definitely use Jiangnan's financial resources to compete for the world regardless of the consequences.

Although this will destroy Jiangnan, the Qing army will not care about this, they can use various means, or even directly to obtain resources, which will inevitably make the strength of the Qing army explosively grow, and the general trend will be difficult to reverse.

If the Qing army had collected 500,000 soldiers and horses of the Southern Ming Dynasty as in history, the strength of the Qing army would be close to one million, and Gao Yihuan would be difficult to compete with.

This time, Gao Yihuan sent a small force of cavalry to the front line of Shangqiu and Xuzhou, firstly, to explore and occupy, but also to cheer up the defenders and create trouble for the Qing army, hoping to drag the Qing army into the quagmire of war.

At this time, in Gao Yihuan's temporary festival hall, Huang Bingzhong, who was in the dust, entered the lobby and saluted Gao Yihuan, who was sitting with a golden knife in Malaysia: "Handsome, I am fortunate to not be dishonored by my humble duties, and I have touched the outside of Shangqiu City. ”

Gao Yihuan raised his eyebrows, "Is Shangqiu still in Liu Heizi's hands?" ”

"The defenders are still holding out! According to the commander's will, he attacked the camp with rockets and shot the marshal's letter into the city! Huang Bingzhong clenched his fists.

"Good, good job! Ben Shuai will take you a credit! Gao Yihuan sighed and thought in his heart, "For more than a month, Liu Heizi hasn't died yet?" It seems that Duoduo will not be able to take Shangqiu for a while. ”
