This time he came to Ruzhou, Shen Zhixiang took over the task assigned by Duoduo, and he had no fear in his heart.

Seeing that Liu Zhong looked like an iron tower, but was so timid, Shen Zhixiang couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart.

"It's just a Gao Yihuan, why should General Liu be so afraid?" Shen Zhixiang chuckled.

Liu Zhong and Gao Yihuan are close to each other, and he knows Gao Yihuan's ability, besides, not long ago, didn't Gao Yihuan kill the Qing Dynasty's Belle Abatai, he still has some fear in his heart.

And they went too far in the mine this time, even if they killed someone, they deliberately humiliated and angered Gao Yihuan, didn't they rush to death?

"Guogong, don't underestimate Gao Yihuan." Liu Zhong looked at the Wei soldiers gathered under the city, licked his lips and said.

Shen Zhixiang saw that he was timid, but said with a smile, "General Liu, don't worry, you are the first general to surrender after Prince Yu arrived in Luoyang, and Prince Yu will definitely protect you." If you are broken, my face will be dull, and I am not still in the city? You don't have to worry, defend the city with all your might, and I will send a fast horse to report to the prince of Yu! ”

When Liu Zhong heard him say this, he felt that it made sense, and his heart settled down a little.

"As long as I have King Yu as my backing, then I have nothing to fear!" Liu Zhong grinned.

Baofeng's mine was an important source of Gao Yihuan's crude iron, and after it was destroyed by the Tartars, Runing's workshop could only use the stock of crude iron to make weapons and farm tools.

Although the Qing army has withdrawn, the miners have suffered heavy losses and the mine has also been damaged, and it is not a short time to recover.

Moreover, Liu Zhong of Ruzhou surrendered to the Qing, which made Baofeng, which was originally in the hinterland, directly threatened by the Tartars, and the mine was not safe, and was always in danger of being attacked.

Gao Yihuan shouted his anger, and after exploring Baofeng County, he found that the rebels in the county had already withdrawn, and then the army went north and arrived at the city of Ruzhou.

The capital city of Ruzhou is located in the north of Rushui, with the towering Song Mountain in the north and the vast barberry in the south.

The actions of the Qing army and Liu Zhong in the mines infuriated Gao Yihuan, and after the scouts made initial reconnaissance, he led the army to pursue him to the city.

This time, Gao Yihuan was also careless, and his attention was focused on Duoduo surrendering himself, but he didn't expect Duoduo to surrender others at the same time.

Duoduo's army crossed the Yellow River from Mengjin and trapped Luoyang, which must have been a huge blow to the Henan Shun army, and it would definitely shake people's hearts.

Gao Yihuan didn't take precautions in advance, but even if he reacted in advance, it was estimated that it would be too late. The Qing envoy arrived in Yuncheng on the eighth day of the first month, and Gao Yihuan met with him on the tenth day of the first month, and received the news that the Baofeng mine had been attacked on the same day, and it was too late.

It's just that Liu Zhong will surrender if you want to, and he also helped the Tartars capture the mines, massacre the people, and build a landscape, so that the birds and beasts are not as good.

In this battle, Gao Yihuan will kill Liu Zhong to deter the ugly.

If he shows his weak side, not only will the Qing army in the north kick his nose in the face and continue to suppress his physical space, but the Ming Dynasty in the south will probably not take him seriously.

This is the side he must show domineering and become the little overlord of Zhongzhou, so that Duoduo feels that he can't beat him, and the Ming Dynasty in the south does not dare to provoke him.

But it's not easy to do that.

After all, his strength is only so great, if he pretends to be too much, he will be arrogant, and he will be easily destroyed by someone in a battle, so this must be mastered.

At present, a large army is approaching the city, but Ruzhou is close to Rushui, and the city is tall, but it is not so easy to attack.

The only thing to be thankful for is that because of the cold weather, the river is frozen, and the Rushui and the moat are frozen, so there is no need for Gao Yihuan to fill the river.

At this time, on a mound outside the city, Gao Yihuan led a group of generals and stood on the top of the hill on horseback to check the situation in Ruzhou.

Gao Yihuan rode a horse and watched Ruzhou, there were more than 10,000 rebels in the city, and there were 3,000 fake Tartars with white flags of the Han army, and Ruzhou was the capital city, so the casualties of the hard attack were bound to be huge.

The only thing Gao Yihuan relied on was that he had more firearms in his hand than Tatar and Liu Zhong, and the gunpowder storage was also very sufficient.

This time Baofeng's mine was knocked out by the Tartars, the sulfur mine near Luanchuan County is located at the northern foot of Bear's Ears Mountain, and Gao Yihuan's territory is at the southern foot of the mountain range, and it is very inconvenient to transport supplies, although he has sent an additional 1,000 people to accept Luanchuan County, but the mine is not protected by the city wall, and it is inconvenient to contact and transport, after the Qing army occupies Luoyang, I am afraid that I will have to give up on the initiative.

This time, Gao Yihuan brought 35,000 troops, of which there were five battalions of soldiers in the elite old battalion, and the remaining 20,000 were 20,000 young men selected before.

These 20,000 people were originally prepared to train into regular soldiers, bringing Gao Yihuan's elite soldiers to 50,000, but now they can only be used as auxiliaries and cannon fodder.

At this time, Gao Yihuan tightened the war horse with one hand and held the horsewhip in the other, and lifted the iron helmet on his head in order to get a better vision.

Everyone looked at it from a high position, and saw that the blue rebels and the white-armored Qing army on the city of Ruzhou were lined up at the head of the city, and the defensive strength was very abundant.

"Marshal, if we attack the city with all our might, but the army of Duoduo suddenly kills, what should we do?" Jin Shenghuan glanced at the city and said a little worriedly.

Gao Yihuan heard this, but turned around and called: "Wang Deren! ”

"Humble duty!" Wang Deren immediately clenched his fists.

Gao Yihuan looked at the enemy soldiers at the head of the city, gritted his teeth and said: "You lead the three thousand elites of your headquarters to bypass the city, go to the north of the city, choose a dangerous place to fortify, block the way for the Tartars to flee north, and the commander will kill all the beasts in the city." ”

As he spoke, he added: "In addition, after you are stationed in the camp, you also need to monitor the movements of the Luoyang Tartars, and once Duoduo's men and horses arrive, report immediately." ”

"Humble command!" Wang Deren clenched his fists, and then slapped his horse away.

Gao Yihuan stared at the city, everything has a reason, the Qing army deliberately provoked himself, and he must have some intention.

Duoduo made outstanding achievements in his life, and all the way the soldiers and horses descended to the four towns, slaughtered Yangzhou, and trapped Nanjing, which was not a straw bag, and was a relatively difficult enemy to deal with.

Although Gao Yihuan was angry in his heart, he would not be reckless.

At this time, he pulled the reins of his horse, "The generals will return to the account with the commander to discuss the siege of the city." ”

The next crowd waved their whips and galloped down the mound towards the big tent.

In the camp, more than 10,000 soldiers worked together to make all kinds of siege equipment, and the people who came also joined them.

These people had just buried more than 10,000 corpses in the mine, and they were extremely afraid of the Tartars in their hearts, hoping that Gao Yihuan could destroy the Tartars in the city, and they would work hard, so they would use their lives.

At the head of the city, the Qing soldiers sat and prepared, they looked at the city, ladders, siege towers, shield vehicles, stone throwers and other equipment, one by one, rising from the ground, and the city gradually gave birth to a sense of tension.

On the 21st day of the first month, in the Longmen Pass south of Luoyang City, the military tent spread.

The main force of the Qing army was not under Luoyang City, but at Longmen Pass.

On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, after Mengjindu, Li Yan and Bai Wang contracted to Luoyang and concentrated their forces in Luoyang to wait for reinforcements.

After Duoduo's army arrived at Luoyang City, he immediately divided his troops and quickly captured Xin'an, Dengfeng, Shiyan, Gongxian, Luoning, Yiyang, Yichuan and other counties around Luoyang, and took the Tiger Prison Pass, opening up the connection with the garrison of Kaifeng Prefecture.

After sweeping and surrendering the counties around Luoyang, making Luoyang an isolated city, Duoduo captured young people from all over the country and began to dig trenches to besiege the city.

At this time, he learned from Liu Zhong, who surrendered, that after Gao Yihuan had a mine in Baofeng, he sent Shen Zhixiang to lead 3,000 Han troops to destroy Gao Yihuan's mine with Liu Zhong, and he also moved some of his soldiers and horses to Longmen Pass.

Just like Gao Yihuan's analysis, Duoduo couldn't let Gao Yihuan have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, watching him attack Luoyang, in case he was exhausted, Gao Yihuan suddenly gave him a beat, he couldn't stand it.

With this in mind, Duoduo did not directly attack Luoyang, but wanted to deal with Gao Yihuan first.

On this day, in the big tent of the Qing army, Duoduo looked at the messenger who was released back by Gao Yihuan, but he was not angry.

Because he didn't expect Gao Yihuan to surrender, he sent people over, mainly to tell Gao Yihuan that he surrounded Luoyang and asked Gao Yihuan to lead his troops to fight him, so that he could solve Gao Yihuan's threat as soon as possible.

At this time, the curtain was suddenly raised, and Bei Zitun hurriedly walked in and saluted and reported, "Lord Wang, continue to report to the public in an emergency, Gao Manzi has been killed in Ruzhou!" ”
