Chapter 269 Clearing the Camp and Discussing Strategies
In the evening, the Qing army that went south from Xinye, carrying a large number of people, all came to Fancheng.
100,000 Qing soldiers and 40,000 or 50,000 people set up an endless camp in the north of the Han River.
At night, Fancheng and the Qing army camps under the city lit torches one after another to guard against the other party's sneak attack.
In the cowhide handsome tent of the Qing army, a few sticks of tallow wax illuminated the inside of the tent, and Azige, Aobai, Wu Sangui, Niu Jinxing and others all sat in the tent, and pots of boiled meat were directly placed on the desk, exuding a barbaric atmosphere.
"Hahaha~"
A presumptuous laugh sounded in the tent, Azig cut off a large piece of fat from the basin with a dagger, put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times, and laughed: "Today, the two arrows of Ao Commander will make the Ming army in the city silent, and greatly boost the morale of my Qing Dynasty, which is really happy~"
Hearing this, Ao bowed his hand slightly to Azig and said: "The prince has already spoken, but the Ming army is indeed no more than Erer, where is my opponent of the Qing Dynasty." Luckedhun actually let the Ming people defeat it, which is really a shame for my Qing Dynasty. ”
When Azig heard this, his face couldn't help twitching, to say that Luckedhun is Dorgon's henchman, and he is Dorgon's brother, and he should be Dorgon's faction, but in fact it is his brother, and the relationship with Dolgon and Duoduo is not good, Dolgon is very generous to Duoduo, but very strict with him.
Some time ago, Azig was supposed to insult Shunzhi as a "widow" and was punished by Dolgon, which made him feel very unhappy and became even more estranged from Dolgon.
"Yes, Luckedhun is not worthy of the descendants of Xinjueluo at all." Azig angrily stuck the dagger in the pork. "The regent's appointment is unknown, and he reuses juniors, and now that the king is returning to Huguang, he will sweep Wang Yan in one fell swoop, and let the court know that the matter of this battlefield still depends on us reliable veterans."
Azig was really angry in his heart, he forced Li Zicheng to death, and forced Zuo Mengeng's 150,000 people to surrender, and made great contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but Dolgon did not give him the corresponding reward, and Dolgon's attitude towards Bolo and Luck Dehun was very tolerant, but his eldest brother became an outsider, and it was naturally difficult for him to balance in his heart.
When Ao Bai and the others heard this, they immediately echoed: "The prince is invincible and invincible, and he will definitely break Xiangyang." ”
Seeing this, Azig nodded with satisfaction, "This Xiangfan two cities, known as the world's heroic cities, in the past, hundreds of thousands of Mengyuan troops, attacked these two cities, Lu Wenhuan defended for five years, and the food was exhausted and surrendered. ”
Ao Bai said: "The Ming people are all straw bales, the prince directly sent troops to attack, I am a Qing warrior, and in an overnight moment, I can break the city." ”
Wu Sangui was in the big tent, he had been sitting on the side with his eyes and nose concerned, and the boiled pork in front of him was basically untouched, as a Han man, his understanding and requirements for eating were much higher than those of barbarians.
Azig is a fierce general of the Qing Dynasty, but he is not a wise general, and his personality is relatively rude and brutal, and he has a lot of contempt for Wu Sangui, so Wu Sangui easily does not say anything.
At this time, he saw Azig and Aobai, between a question and an answer, he was going to finalize the siege strategy, seeing that Azig obviously agreed with Aobai's words, but he couldn't help but squint his eyes, clenched his fists and said: "Prince, Ao Commander, this Xiangfan two cities are rare fortified cities, the two cities are separated on both sides of the Han River, the Ming army is connected by a pontoon bridge, the Qing army attacks Fancheng, and the soldiers of Xiangyang can support at any time. ”
When Azig and Ao Bai heard this, they couldn't help frowning slightly, and said with an unhappy look on their faces: "How does King Pingxi think he should attack the city?" ”
This time, the Qing army sent 100,000 troops, including 22,500 soldiers from the Eight Banners, 17,500 soldiers from the Green Battalion, and 60,000 soldiers from Wu Sangui.
Azig and Aobai want to storm Fancheng, and the Eight Banners soldiers will naturally not participate in the tragic siege, but this time there are few soldiers in the green battalion, and the burden of attacking the city will definitely fall on Wu Sangui.
As the leader of the 30,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry and the 30,000 Liaozhen Infantry Army, Wu Sangui naturally couldn't watch his men and horses being consumed meaninglessly, so even if Azig was unhappy in his heart, he still turned a blind eye and said: "In the opinion of this general, the prince should order an army to go to the upper reaches of the Han River, cut down wood and build ships, and then take advantage of the urgency of the river to order the soldiers to go down the river by boat, crash the pontoon bridge, isolate Fancheng, and then attack it!" ”
In all fairness, Wu Sangui's words are indeed a good way to break Fancheng, Azig heard the words, and felt reasonable when he thought about it slightly, but Ao Bai said: "Lord Wang, there are more than 200,000 troops in Huguangming, and there are only more than 30,000 people who are guarding the second city of Xiangfan today, and they must want to gather superior troops first, capture Wuchang, and then return to Xiangyang." If General Wu wants to build ships upstream, how long will it take, and how long can Leke Dehun in Wuchang City hold on? ”
On the Huguang battlefield, Wang Yan's main force attacked Wuchang and cut off the threat from the east of the Ming army, and the main force of the Qing army attacked Xiangyang, intending to flank Wang Yan from the north.
Between the two armies, the comparison is a speed, to see who captures the city first.
If Wang Yan pulls out Wuchang first, then he can calmly return to Xiangyang and block the Qing troops in northern Hubei.
Azig naturally understood this truth, he listened to Aobai's words, so even if he put Wu Sangui's suggestion behind, he nodded and said: "Although the Ming army is a straw bag, King Lekdehun trusts it even more. My army of tigers and wolves in the Qing Dynasty was led by the sheep of Luck Dehun, but I didn't know how many days I could defend Wuchang, and this king must rescue the Qing athletes trapped in Wuchang. The strategy of attacking the city, according to the words of the commander of Ao, will storm Fancheng tomorrow and break the city in one fell swoop. ”
"Chirp~"
Seeing that Azig had made a decision, Ao Bai and the others in the tent immediately made a full salute.
Seeing this, Wu Sangui's face sank, and his heart was sullen, Azig wanted to attack, but it was his soldiers who died, and he really didn't have a good impression of this group of Manchurians who stood and talked without backache.
In the troubled times, having soldiers in his hands is the capital to settle down immediately, although Wu Sangui is the king, but this king is actually worthless, among the Manchurians, the rank is lower than him, and the likes of Ao Bai, who are still often disrespectful to him, he wants to maintain his majesty, and he has to rely on his brothers to support him, so he cherishes the soldiers and horses under his command very much.
At this time, Azig really said: "We are good at riding battles, and the Han people are good at attacking and defending the city, and the heavy task of attacking Fancheng tomorrow will be handed over to the king of Pingxi to be fully responsible. ”
Although Wu Sangui was unwilling to exchange the lives of his subordinates for Fan Cheng, he had no choice but to hold his fists at this time.
