It's been almost a month since the war, and in the past month, Haoge has suffered heavy losses, the Han Eight Banners have lost 4,000 people, the Eight Banners have lost nearly 2,000 people, and the miscellaneous troops that have surrendered have been as many as 8,000, and the losses of more than 10,000 people have still not taken Hanzhou City.

"Since January, our army has repeatedly attacked the city, several times has climbed the tower, why did not take the city of Hanzhou, not that our soldiers and horses are not elite, but the Ming army is not afraid of death, and our soldiers are strong, there are many thoughts of stealing life, so always lose at the last moment, repeatedly give the Ming army a chance to breathe, so that their reinforcements can come in time to reinforce, I think we need to reflect on it, the same are flesh and blood, why the Ming army is so not afraid of death, but our soldiers are not as good as it?"

In the camp of the Qing army, Haoge also started an ideological mobilization meeting, and summoned all the officials above Niu Lu of the whole army to come to the meeting, to summarize the reasons for the previous defeat, and at the same time to come up with countermeasures, it is impossible to consume it indefinitely, and the Qing Dynasty does not have so much food for them to stalemate.

"Prince, the battle of Hanzhou, although we lost, we did not take Hanzhou City for the time being, but the Ming army also suffered heavy losses, although they have the city to rely on, but in January, they have lost absolutely no less than 8,000 people, in fact, it is similar to us." Ao Bai also replied at the moment.

"Almost, we lost fourteen thousand, and they lost eight, is that about the same?" Hauge also retorted.

"In fact, many of us were not killed in the siege of the city, but were killed by the sneak attack of a small group of troops of the Ming army, our grain transport team, from Hanzhong to the front line, as little as three or five times, as many as seven or eight times, along the way are always constantly attacked, they do not love to fight, fight and leave, we didn't even see people, we lost more than a dozen people, this is the consumption of more than 1,000 people, as well as our patrol soldiers, there are seven or eight teams are inexplicably annihilated, we don't know how they did it, Now there are still many people entrenched in the mountains and forests around Hanzhong, attacking and harassing with us, and the men and horses defending the city in our rear have also lost thousands of people, and the Ming army did this deliberately, which is their strength, not our advantage. ”

"What General Ao Bai said is very true, Sichuan soldiers and horses, most of them are people who are accustomed to walking mountain roads, in the mountains and mountains, walking is very agile, the former General Tazhan suffered this loss!" Sun Kewang also echoed.

When Haoge heard this, he also said with a bad face: "That is the case, then we can't fight anymore, take Hanzhou City, enter Chengdu, all this can be self-defeating, those lonely souls and wild ghosts wandering in the mountains and forests, without food and grass supplies, they will come out sooner or later, so the main thing is that we failed to take Hanzhou City, and the Ming army can repeatedly send people who dare to die, can't we?" ”

"Does Prince Su mean that he is also preparing to follow the example of the Ming army and break the enemy with death squads?" Sun Kewang asked.

Hauge nodded and said: "That's right, this time I summoned you here, just for this matter, after you go back, each army needs to select ten people to form a thousand-person death squad, tie up*, blow up Hanzhou City for me, death squads, everyone's family can get a pension of one hundred taels and five hundred acres of fertile land, and their children are my righteous sons and daughters......"

"The slave understands, the slave will go back to the camp and prepare!" Sun Kewang is also actively expressing his stance at the moment, willing to contribute, ten people, even if it is a thousand, he doesn't care about anything.

Haoge glanced at Sun Kewang appreciatively, and then said to Aobai: "Aobai, you lead three thousand elites of our army behind, as long as the death squad opens the gap, you immediately lead the army to rush up and take Hanzhou City for me." ”

"Minions command!"

It didn't take much time for this apportioned death squad to be assembled, and Haoge was also ready, and started to attack again, and he had been silent for seven days, because he had been thinking about countermeasures for seven days, and finally thought of Murong Gongzi's stunt of 'returning the other way to the other'.

The autumn day is in the sky, it is not hot, the cool mountain wind blows, but there is a trace of cold, this is the time of the hour, but hundreds of thousands of Qing troops have been ready, once again lined up outside the city of Hanzhou.

"General, the Qing army is going to attack the city again today!" Li Dingguo also came to Cao Bianjiao's side to report, since he beheaded Kong Youde, Cao Bianjiao is even more important to Li Dingguo, and has already shown him to the court as a loyal marquis, in today's Ming Dynasty, there are not many living marquis, that is, in the Dashun army, there are only earls, and they are counted on one hand.

"Come on! Come on! I've been waiting for them, our secret weapon can come in handy! Cao Bianjiao also sneered and looked at the Qing army outside the city, no matter what tricks they played, they only had one move, the secret weapon was enough, and he also hoped that Haoge would come earlier, and then he could let him see what it meant to be a divine soldier.

On the battlefield in the east of Sichuan, Wu Sangui also faced Qin Liangyu, for this old woman, in fact, Wu Sangui looked down on him, just a woman, how big can it be, and he was just playing prestige in the ravine and ditch of Sichuan, he waited for them in Baoning Mansion for more than ten days, Qin Liangyu had forty or fifty thousand horses under him, and he only had 20,000 people, but the other party did not dare to go to the battle, so he would come to meet him.

The continuous sound of the fire gun resounded throughout the battlefield, and the Guan Ning army, which was rushing forward like a tide, fell faster than the charge. In front of the battle array, there are a lot of corpses, fortunately not dead, is a heart-rending howl, so many years, the Guan Ning army has not encountered such a Qing army, even against the Qing soldiers, both sides have to fight for a while, not necessarily able to win, but now they can't even touch the other party's side, and a lot of people have fallen, when they just charged, suddenly from the mountains and forests on both sides of the countless musketeers, at them is a musket shooting, after the fight immediately ran, they don't know whether the other party is old or young, In the steep mountains and forests, they ran faster than rabbits, which was the weakness of the Guanning army, and mountain warfare was the strength of the Sichuan army.

"Wu Sangui suffered a big loss as soon as he fought, and their morale will inevitably be greatly damaged, so we should also be ready, rush up and give them a moment later." Jiang Zhu stood on top of the city pass, looking at Wu Sangui outside the city frustrated, and resounded that this person fled from the battle, resulting in a lack of major generals in Songshan, and was finally broken, if it weren't for Cao Bianjiao, they would have been martyred, so they hated these people deeply.

"General Jiang, don't be busy!" Qin Liangyu was dressed in military uniform, and said with a smile: "The Guanning army has been crisscrossing Liaodong for many years, and it is difficult to distinguish and fight several times the enemy Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses, and it is not so easy to collapse, they have become shameful traitors from the moment they surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, these people have not had many years of loyalty to the king, but they are just a trend of interests, and we also know in our hearts that they will not have a good end, and the bloody war is still to come!" Besides, we haven't laid down the treasure sent by the general yet, so we have to let them taste it first! ”

Qin Liangyu has already set up the formation, waiting for Wu Sangui to come, to give him a good landlord, naturally he will not be so impulsive, after decades of fighting, he has long looked down on many things, and can calmly face any changes in the situation, and do not panic, this is the precipitation of time, Jiang Zhu is incomparable.
