Lin Yu was lucky, in the six or seven days that he left the reinforcements, it first rained for three days and three nights in the Fengyang area, causing the Qing army's gunpowder to be damp and unable to attack the city.

This made Duoduo, Wu Sangui, Bo Luo and other Qing army generals feel very frustrated, and they originally felt that Zhu Ming's qi was exhausted, but now it seems that this is not the case. At least this time God stood on Da Ming's side, giving the defenders in Fengyang City a chance to breathe.

Fan Wencheng comforted: "Planning is in the people, and the success is in the sky, the prince doesn't have to worry!" ”

Dodor denied it: "Who says the king is worried? The continuous rain did cause trouble for our army to attack Fengyang, but did Mr. Fan know that the continuous rain also paralyzed the defenders of Yangzhou, making our army's sneak attack on Yangzhou greatly more certain? ”

"Sneak attack on Yangzhou?" Fan Wencheng was a little surprised, "Could it be the prince......"

Duoduo stroked the pigtail like a wild boar's tail behind his head with his backhand, and said proudly: "Mr. Fan, do you remember what this king said to you before?" ”

Fan Wencheng shook the feather fan in his hand and smiled: "The minister naturally remembers that the prince said that you are not as good as the minister in terms of strategy, and you are not as good as the minister in terms of strategy." ”

Duoduo laughed: "Exactly, this king has adopted a two-pronged strategy, attacking Fengyang openly and Yangzhou secretly. The king led the main army to attack Fengyang with great fanfare, but sent Ao Bai and Dele to secretly attack Yangzhou.

The continuous rain will inevitably paralyze the vigilance of the Yangzhou defenders, and with Li Chengdong as the internal response, there is a chance that the sneak attack will be successful. Mr. Fan is waiting for the show to be staged, and this king will behead Shi Kefa's first level to pay tribute to the loyal souls who died outside Yangzhou City! ”

Fan Wencheng couldn't help but be convinced: "No wonder the prince was able to sweep across Jiangbei and sweep Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other places, the art of war was used by you to be perfect, and the ministers were willing to bow down!" ”

Wu Sangui, the tall and dignified king of Pingnan, was also full of praise: "The prince's plan is wonderful, if you take Yangzhou, you can go straight to Nanjing, which makes Lin Yu difficult to take care of."

If Lin Yu returned to the division to rescue Nanjing, our army would follow and attack, inflicting heavy losses on the Ming army. If Lin Yu continued to confront our army in Fengyang, he took Nanjing in one go and took Zhu Yuanzhang's filial piety mausoleum. ”

"Haha...... That's exactly what this king meant. Duoduo bowed his head in approval, and his face was proud.

After three days and three nights of rain, the rain finally cleared, and Duoduo ordered Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, Bo Luo and others to continue to wave their troops to attack Fengyang.

First, to confuse Shi Kefa in Yangzhou, and secondly, it would be better if Fengyang was really knocked down, after all, this is the central capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the ancestral tombs of the old Zhu family are here!

However, a batch of fierce firearms suddenly appeared on the Fengyang city wall, causing great damage to the attacking Qing army, and the damp red-coated cannons could not be fired normally, so Duoduo had to suspend the siege.

After the artillery of the Qing army returned to normal, the 60,000 reinforcements led by Huang Deli entered the territory of Fengyang Mansion through Chaoxian and Hefei, and joined up with the 40,000 reinforcements from Nanjing.

Huang Degong can be regarded as one of the few generals in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and his generals are brave and well-armed, and their weapons and equipment are also superior to those of the other three towns. More importantly, Huang Degong was loyal to the Ming Dynasty and had a certain foresight.

After Huang Degong met with Wei Guangdong and Zhu Youliang, he asked where the governor of Lin Du was, and was told that he had gone to Hubei to contact Li Zicheng, and had already written to the imperial court, hoping to change the strategy of "uniting the capture and leveling the thieves" and adopting the strategy of "uniting the prisoners to drive out the captives".

"Lin Dudu's strategy is good, Ben Hou thinks the same way!"

Huang Degong deeply agreed with Lin Yu's strategy, "Now that the national crisis is at hand, Jiannu shouts the slogan of keeping his head and not his hair every day, if they really rule China, our descendants of Yan and Huang must not be treated as slaves?"

In Benhou's opinion, the battle between us and the Chuang army is a civil war, and the battle with the Tartars is an external humiliation. It is natural to first resist external humiliation and then quell internal strife.

It's a pity that Ben Hou couldn't convince the Confucian students of the Donglin Party, so he could only fight the Tartars while fighting the army. ”

But Huang Degong was deeply worried about Lin Yu's trip to Hubei: "From Fengyang to Hubei, it is a four-thousand-mile round trip, even if Li Zicheng hits it off, Lin Dudu will be able to return in at least half a month, right?" Without the help of the ironclad car he controlled, our army would be in great difficulty if it wanted to defeat the Qing army head-on! ”

Wei Guangdong said with a smile: "Jingnan Hou rest assured, Lin Dudu is driving a truck, if the road conditions are not too bad, this truck can travel two hundred miles in an hour." ”

"Two hundred miles?" Huang Degong was taken aback, "This is faster than Maxima?" ”

Zhu Youliang took over the conversation: "No, and this truck doesn't need to rest, it can travel day and night, the governor said that it will take three or five days to be fast, and six or seven days to be slow, and he will definitely be able to return." ”

"Before leaving, the governor left the ironclad car to suppress the formation, so although our army was only fifty miles away from the Qing army's camp, Duoduo did not dare to take the initiative to attack." Xu Gongji thought of Lin Yu's care, and was quite grateful in his heart.

Huang Degong gave a thumbs up: "Hmm...... Lin Dudu thought carefully, this person has a good character, Ben Hou appreciates it very much! ”

Wei Guangdong, Xu Gongji took Huang Degong and his generals to the north gate of the camp to visit the ironclad car, when they saw this steel and iron chariot, Huang Degong was shocked.

If you can get such an ironclad car, why can't you have a place in this troubled world and tear the earth as the king?

"No wonder Lin Dudu can recreate slaves in Yangzhou, this ironclad car is simply copper and iron, hard than a rock, with him to help fight, why be afraid of Tartar?"

Huang Degong ordered people to summon the generals of the Caojiang Army, Fang Guoan and Zheng Hongkui, the two of them are the masters who bully the soft and fear the hard, and Huang Degong, who has 100,000 elite soldiers and crosses the Yangtze River, does not dare to slack off, and hurriedly comes to visit.

Huang Degong said: "Governor Lin is not here, and Benhou is temporarily acting as the commander." I have revised the book to Liu Liangzuo and invited him to send troops to relieve the siege of Fengyang.

Now that the rain has passed, the Qing army will inevitably storm Fengyang, and our army should no longer wait and see. Ben Hou led his troops as the vanguard, and you Cao Jiang Army and Ying Tianwei served as the two wings, moving forward to the Qing army camp to relieve the pressure on the defenders in the city. ”

Since Huang Degong was willing to play as a striker, Fang Guoan and Zheng Hongkui naturally didn't dare to shirk anymore, and led in unison: "I am willing to be sent from the Hou Ye!" ”

Huang Degong asked Li Wei to drive an ironclad car to press the formation in front, and personally commanded the main army in front: 8,000 cavalry, 5,000 artillery, more than 100 artillery, 10,000 musketeers, 10,000 archers, and 30,000 foot soldiers.

Wei Guangdong and Xu Gongji's performance rate of 13,000 Ying Tianwei was on the left; Fang Guoan and Zheng Hongkui led 30,000 Caojiang troops on the right, echoing Huang Degong before and after, and approached the Qing army camp with the word "product" formation.

Duoduo didn't expect Huang Degong to defeat Zuo Mengeng's army of "800,000" so quickly, and he couldn't help but scold the "stupid" repeatedly. While writing a letter suggesting that Dolgon select generals from the Manchus and rush to Anqing to receive Zuo Mengeng's military power, he ordered Wu Sangui and Tulai to lead 150,000 horses to the south to meet the battle.

Afraid of the huge power of the ironclad car, coupled with the courage and elite of Huang Degong's subordinates, Wu Sangui and Tu Lai Ling did not dare to start a war easily, but set up camp to confront the Ming army in the north and south.

The Qing army besieging the city was reduced by nearly half, and the pressure on the defenders of Fengyang City was sharply reduced.

With Liu Zeqing's experience, Liu Liangzuo was afraid that he would follow in his footsteps after surrendering and be relieved of military power by the Manchu court. So he retreated again and again, first fled from Fengyang to Shouzhou, and then retreated to Hefei, and kept watching from the wall.

Knowing that Abatai led 80,000 Qing troops to Chuzhou through Huoqiu, intending to intercept the back route of Nanjing's reinforcements, Liu Liangzuo was so frightened that he couldn't sleep well.

Just when Liu Liangzuo was undecided, Huang Degong defeated Zuo Mengeng, led his troops to march from Wuhu to aid Fengyang, and repaired a book to ask Liu Liangzuo to relieve the siege of Fengyang.

"Damn, follow Huang Chuangzi to kill the Tartars!"

With Huang Degong's help, Liu Liangzuo finally made up his mind to counterattack the Qing army, and led his troops to ambush the Qing army led by Abatai at Jiming Mountain, taking advantage of its unpreparedness to win a small victory, killing more than 3,000 Qing troops at the cost of more than 1,000 casualties.

Abatai didn't expect Liu Liangzuo to take the initiative to attack, as a warlord, shouldn't he save his strength, why did he go all out to serve the Nanjing Imperial Court this time?

In desperation, Abatai had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat to Zhengyang Town, monitoring Liu Liangzuo's movements while sending a probe to report to Duoduo.

Liu Liangzuo won a small victory, and the morale of the army increased greatly, so he led his troops to leave Jiming Mountain and enter Fengyang Mansion directly to Beilu Town to set up a large camp, and the 100,000 reinforcements led by Huang De were separated by horns for 30 miles, echoing each other from afar.
