Chapter 67 Refusal to surrender, humiliation of Duoduo
In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright, and there were bursts of horns in the Qing army's camp, and countless green battalion soldiers left the camp tent and stood in the open space in a scolding and scolding.
Outside the western city, the Ming army on the high slope bombarded the Qing camp all night, making the Qing army unable to sleep, and the people and horses in the queue looked sluggish.
In the tent of the Qing army commander, Duoduo was convening the generals to discuss how to recapture Gaopo and break through Yangzhou.
At this time, Duoduo sat behind the handsome case with a frosty face, flanked by many generals such as the clear True Manchuria, the Outer Domain Mongolia, and the Green Battalion of the Han Army.
A white cloth was tied around his head, and the blood oozing from his forehead had stained the white cloth jet-black.
At this time, Duoduo's mood was as dark and gloomy as the color of the bandage on his head. He originally thought that defeating the Ming army's aid to Yang's naval division, the Yangzhou defenders would inevitably lose their morale, and he would easily capture Yangzhou, but he didn't want Wang Yan to take advantage of his slack and carelessness to sneak attack the Qing army's artillery camp, and by the way, he was also slightly injured.
At this time, Duoduo hated Wang Yan and Yangzhou to the core, but he also knew that the defenders of Yangzhou had captured Gaopo, and the Qing army's artillery had lost seventy percent, making it even more difficult to capture Yangzhou.
Duoduo knew very well about the military affairs, and once the artillery battalion was lost, the previous offensive strategy was useless, so he summoned everyone to ask him: "Do you have a good plan to help this king avenge a cannon?" ”
"Lord Qiqi! The slave has a plan, I don't know if I should talk about it! Bai Yongfu came out of the queue and knelt down to worship.
"Oh~" Duoduo is the most annoying to the Han people, but at this time, he must show a polite and virtuous corporal, and said with a smile: "What countermeasures does General Bai have, you can say it bluntly, if there is some reason, help this king take Yangzhou, this king will definitely play the regent and raise the flag for you!" Get up and talk back! ”
"Oh, the minion obeys!" Duoduo allowed, Bai Yongfu was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Yangzhou is a lonely city, now foreign aid is extinct, and if you want to die, you will die for a long time, and you have fallen into a desperate situation. ”
"Mr. Bai doesn't know anything!" When Duoduo heard this, he shook his head and said, "At the beginning of the siege of this king, he recruited Wang Yan, but he sternly refused. With this king's understanding of him, I am afraid that he will not descend to my holy court. ”
Bai Yongfu saw that Duoduo didn't accept his words, and said in a hurry: "Master! The slave thought that this time was different from the past, Wang Yan did not surrender at the beginning, but he hoped that the Southern Ming court would come to help, and there was a hope in his heart. Now that the Nanming reinforcements have been defeated by the master, the hope in Wang Yan's heart has been extinct, if he has a trace of survival love, he can only descend to the Holy Dynasty. Besides, the prince only needs to send a messenger to try it, if it succeeds, then it will take no effort to go down to Yangzhou Jiancheng, and if it is defeated, there will be no loss. ”
"Hmm~" Duoduo thought about it for a while, and then recognized Bai Yongfu's words, and said casually: "Your words are reasonable, this king will give it a try." If it is done, you will inevitably have a reward. ”
Bai Yongfu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down again, and said with gratitude in his mouth: "Slave, thank you for the prince's advice, thank you for the prince's appreciation!" ”
Among the Han generals in the account, some of them were extremely disdainful of Bai Yongfu, but more of them were envious of his ability to seize the opportunity and curry favor with Duoduo.
At this time, Duoduo asked Bai Yongfu to get up, and then looked around at the people in the tent, and said solemnly: "This king will write a letter, dismantle the people and send them into the city, but you must not slack off, if Wang Yan does not surrender, this king wants you to wait for the soldiers and horses, ready to attack the city at any time, can you know?" ”
"Don't worry! Minions are always on standby! The crowd bowed.
Seeing this, Duoduo nodded with satisfaction: "In this way, we will all step back and prepare for each!" ”
"Wow!" The Qing generals bowed and withdrew from the tent.
In Yangzhou City, Wang Yan knew that there would be a big battle today, so he took He Gang and others to inspect Xicheng, but he did not wait for the Qing soldiers to attack, but waited for Duoduo to enter the city to recruit a messenger.
Wang Yan asked the second envoy to take the second envoy to the West Gate Tower, and he didn't look at Duoduo's letter, so he said to the envoy: "The two countries exchanged troops and did not kill the envoys, but the morale of our army was declining, but it was just used by your head to let the soldiers and people of Yangzhou know my determination, and also let Duoduo die the heart of surrender." ”
Wang Yan followed the envoy who killed Duoduo and ordered the deputy envoy to return with his head.
The envoy returned to the camp with letters and heads, and Duoduo hurriedly summoned him for questioning, and when he saw that Wang Yan really did not surrender, and killed him, the envoy was immediately furious: "Wang Yan is a husband, and the king is too much to deceive!" When the king breaks the city, he will personally handle it and cut it with a thousand knives. ”
The deputy envoy held the human head, and when he saw that Duoduo was furious, he was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.
After Duoduo vented, his emotions calmed down a lot, and he passed by with Wenming: "You have seen Wang Yan, have you ever read this king's letter?" ”
"Qi Qi master, Wang Yan has never watched, as soon as he saw the slave, he said that he wanted to borrow the head of the person to use it to boost the heart of the Yangzhou army!" The envoy trembled and said: "He asked the slave to tell the prince that since ancient times, the Han and the Han have not been separated, and the master has died of the heart of surrender." Wang Yan also said that with the talent of the prince, if he wants to win Yangzhou, he must take at least another 200,000 lives to fill it. ”
"Ah~" Duoduo, who had just calmed down, was angered by Wang Yan again, overturned the handsome case in front of him, and scolded angrily: "Wang Yan, dare to peep at this king!" This king will kill him! ”
Duoduo has been in battle since he was a child, and has made countless contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he is already in a high position at a young age, because he is very conceited, and no one has ever doubted his ability, but now he is humiliated by Wang Yan, and he is proud of how he can endure it.
When the envoy saw Duoduo's rage, he was immediately trembling with fright, and bowed to the ground and said: "The slave should die, the slave should die, the slave should not talk nonsense and provoke the master to be angry~"
Duoduo was completely furious at this time, and he wanted to attack Yangzhou immediately, and then eat Wang Yan's flesh raw, he ignored the envoy, but went directly out of the handsome account.
A group of Qing soldiers hurriedly escorted Duoduo to the outside of the camp, came to the front of the Qing army, and then ordered the Qing guards to summon the generals, shouting angrily: "Pass the order to go out, attack the four gates together, if you don't break Yangzhou, you will all come to see you!" ”
When the Qing generals heard this, their faces couldn't help but change, but seeing that Duoduo was angry, they didn't dare to speak out against it, so they had to respond stupidly.
At this time, Duoduo waved his hand, and the Qing troops in each battalion went back to prepare, while he rushed to the western camp.
Although Duoduo was angry, his mind was not completely chaotic, he knew that Yangzhou City was strong and wide, and the only drawback was the high slope outside the West City, so he must take it back at any cost.
Duoduo came to the Qing army camp outside Xicheng, the generals of Xiying had already assembled their soldiers and horses to wait for the military order, Duoduo let Li Chengdong attack Xicheng, Bai Yongfu attacked Gaopo, and he led Li led Tai's Han army Zhenglan Banner 4,500 men and horses, and supervised the battle later, which was bound to recapture Gaopo and capture Yangzhou.
