On that day, the plundering Qing army went out happily and returned to the camp with a depressed face.

They originally wanted to catch chickens and pigs after entering the village, but they found that all the villages were built into forts, so that the small Qing army could not start.

The Qing army had a pitiful capture, and it was not enough to add a little meat.

That night, Wei Wu's army went out of the city again and attacked two unfinished camps, but was driven back to the city by the Qing army.

In the next few days, the Qing army still went out in all directions, but they went to fight one village after another, which was obviously a bit thankless, and the Qing army switched from plundering the four fields to fighting the nearby county towns and the populous tunbao.

At this time, the two camps of the Qing army in the east and west were built, and Duoduo put 8,000 people to garrison each, and then let 4,000 men and horses take turns to monitor the south gate, and the remaining 20,000 people were stationed in the north camp.

There were many horse troops in the Qing army, and the men and horses in the city attacked the two camps without wheels, or fled from the south gate, and the horse army in the west camp could quickly support.

After the two camps were erected, the Wei army stopped going out of the city to harass, while the Qing army monitored the city while making preparations for the siege.

In the next few days, the Qing army and horse troops who left the camp returned to the camp one after another, and the number of captives gradually reached more than 20,000.

Although Gao Yihuan had made people publicize that the Tartars were fierce and brutal, but because Wei Wujun fought with the Tartars several times, they were all in the territory outside southern Henan, and the war did not burn Runing, so some people did not think so.

Many people will not resist out of public interest if things do not fall on their own heads, do not threaten their interests and lives.

This time, the Qing army entered Runing, and the Ma army went around, attacking the city and pulling out the village, killing and capturing the people, especially after capturing Suiping County, they wantonly slaughtered the people, and kidnapped the young and strong and women, which made the entire southern Henan shake at once.

The militia groups and tunding of the counties and forts were frightened by the ferocity of the Qing army, and the young men inspected the city wall day and night, standing on the high place of the tunpu and watching, men, women, and even the old people and children all went up to the fort wall.

At this time, they all knew that the Qing army was cruel, once the city was broken and the fortress was captured, the property was robbed, the parents were killed, and the wife was taken captive, and the family would be ruined.

Previously, when Li Zicheng was active in Henan, the people of Zhongzhou built forts and forts to fight against thieves and officials, and now the ferocity of the Qing army aroused their sense of resistance and fought for their lives.

Runing is a province with a large population, and Duoduo originally thought that he could capture two or three hundred thousand people to participate in the siege of the city, but in the past ten days, less than 20,000 people were captured, which was far lower than his expectations.

This result made him very dissatisfied, and at the same time, he also strengthened his determination to destroy Gao Yihuan.

This guy is too powerful, if he is not destroyed, Duoduo's bedroom will be unstable, and the Qing Dynasty will not be able to sit steadily.

On December 30, after the night was the New Year, the Qing army, which was transporting red-clothed cannons and heavy food and grass, finally arrived at the northern camp of Runing.

This was good news for Dord.

In the evening, the endless camp of the Qing army gradually became quiet from the noise of the day.

After the Qing army's red-coated artillery arrived, all the troops realized that the siege was about to begin, except for the soldiers on patrol, most of the Qing soldiers entered the tent early to rest, and the camp gradually fell into darkness.

At this time, the hall of Duoduo was still brightly lit, and several generals gathered together and were listening to Duoduo's orders.

Duoduo looked at Kong Youde and said, "The cannon has arrived. Tomorrow you will arrange for men to bombard the city. ”

Kong Youde nodded, "Don't worry, within five days, I will guarantee that the prince will come out with a gap." ”

For the use of artillery, Kong Youde is still very confident. At that time, the Ming Dynasty hired a group of Portuguese mercenaries, and Kong Youde learned a lot from them.

It was with this set of things that he made the Qing army's casting and use of artillery surpass that of the Ming Dynasty, and was reused by Huang Taiji.

Seeing this, Duoduo nodded and looked at Geng Zhongming, "After the artillery blasts out of the gap, it will drive the prisoners to attack the city. The captive population of your ministry must keep up with the consumption. ”

Geng Zhongming lowered his head, his face was ashamed, "Humble and respectful, I must capture 100,000 people before attacking the city." ”

Previously, every time the Qing army entered the customs, it was easy to take away hundreds of thousands of people, how could it be that when it arrived in southern Henan, it was so difficult to catch some people, Geng Zhongming was very depressed in his heart.

Seeing that both of them were expressing their positions, Duoduo bowed slightly, and waved his hand: "Okay, you go and rest!" ”

The two of them saluted, then left together, and when they walked out of the room, it was already dark.

In the city, in Gao Yihuan's Shuai Mansion Festival Hall, there are also generals and schools.

Gao Yihuan walked in, all the soldiers got up to greet each other, Gao Yihuan waved his hand, let them all sit, and walked to the handsome position, sat down with a golden sword, and then said loudly: "After waiting for more than ten days, the baggage and artillery of the Tartars finally arrived outside the city." Today is the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, so everyone will work hard all night to do the big things, and tomorrow will welcome the New Year. ”

Many of the generals in the festival hall didn't know what the tall marshal was going to do, so they were confused and talked about it.

Seeing this, Gao Yihuan raised his hand to suppress it, and said loudly, "The Qing army has besieged the city for many days, and the Ma army has plundered everywhere, causing great damage to my Runing place. Now that the baggage of the Qing army has arrived in the northern suburbs, the commander is ready to let people go out of the city through the tunnels of the Chongwang Mansion, and tonight he will find out the military camp and destroy the baggage and artillery of the Qing army, which of you has the courage to go? ”

After Gao Yihuan finished speaking, he leaned forward and looked around at the generals with a look of anticipation.

There was actually a tunnel in the city leading to the outside of the city, and some of the generals of the Wei Wujun who didn't know couldn't help but be slightly surprised and felt a burst of surprise.

"Dashuai, a certain wish!" Tiger Dawei is the one who does not give in.

Almost at the same time, Xu Heihu also got up and hugged his fists, "Dashuai, I am also willing to go." ”

Zhao Daxian also followed closely and hugged his fists, "I am also willing to go!" “

Many of the generals in the hall, although they don't know the local situation, are eager to try and want to show their skills.

Seeing that there are many people who want to go, the pressure of competition is very high, and the first few people are a little anxious.

The Tartars are also a great threat to their fields and estates, and they want to get rid of the Tartars as soon as possible.

At this time, Bai Wenxuan also stood up, and just as he was about to speak, Hu Dawei next to him glared at him, "You can beat me, why are you making a fuss?" ”

Bai Wenxuan's face turned red, but he still saluted Gao Yihuan, "Dashuai, hand it over to the humble position!" ”

Gao Yihuan was in a good mood when he saw such enthusiasm, and he pressed it with his hands, "This tunnel is not very big, and there are not many people going out. This matter is very important, if you mess up, Ben Shuai will cut off his head~"

As soon as he said this, he immediately scared off many people, and those who had already stood up were immediately stupid~
