The Qing army was not only strong in cavalry and archery, but also had rich experience in attacking fortified positions.

When the Qing army and the Ming army fought for Liaodi, they faced the fortified city, and the Qing army was mainly besieged and rescued, but it was not without attacking the city.

After the Qing army entered the customs, the Manchu Qing Dynasty recruited a large number of Ming Dynasty border troops, and there were a group of Han generals who were good at attacking cities.

The current Qing army is full of the heads of the three ethnic groups of Mongolia and Han, and they can ride and shoot on horseback, fight on foot and pull out the city, and play with various firearms, which can be said to be very powerful.

Duoduo sometimes thinks that with such an army, no matter what cards the opponent plays, the Qing Dynasty has the means to restrain it, and there is no reason not to win the battle.

Now facing such a capital city as Shangqiu City, for the Qing Dynasty warriors, it is really nothing.

How many fortified cities in Liaodi have fallen into the hands of the Qing Dynasty, how can a Shangqiu stop him.

Duoduo didn't put Liu Heizi in his eyes, Gao Yihuan couldn't beat the king, Gao Yihuan's horse Ben king couldn't beat him, so the king would find a brick and kill him.

After setting up camp, Duoduo asked Chen Baoping, who surrendered to him, to lead his headquarters to the city to call out, claiming to give Liu Heizi one last chance to open the city and surrender.

Although Liu Heizi is also afraid of death, he knows that after surrendering, he will never get any good.

This is all blamed for him fooling around with Gao Yihuan, killing Huang Taiji's son-in-law in Shandong, and hitting Man Dahai again, causing Man Dahai to be killed.

The people who died were all from the Tartar royal family, not to mention the fact that he was robbing horses and grain, how could Liu Heizi believe Duoduo's words with so many eyes.

He immediately let the city fire a few cannons, and in response, he told Duoduo very hard that I Liu Shun was a good man and would not surrender tartars.

Helpless, he was led by Gao Yihuan on a road that had to resist the Qing Dynasty, and in the face of the Tartars, he could only continue to be an anti-Tartar hero.

Duoduo saw that Liu Heizi didn't know what to do, so he asked Chen Baoping to launch a tentative attack on Shangqiu City, but before Chen Baoping could get close to the city wall, he was beaten back by the city's artillery, bird guns, and earth-shattering thunder.

This surprised Duoduo, but he didn't expect that this Liu Heizi was not easy to deal with.

Although Duoduo was ambitious and had a strong army, he had many problems when he really wanted to attack the city.

In several battles with Gao Yihuan, Duoduo's red-clothed cannons were destroyed in two batches, and the last time even hundreds of artillery soldiers were sent to the sky together.

As a result, Duoduo went out with only ten redcoat cannons and a group of newly trained gunners.

Seeing that the city was relatively well prepared and that his own artillery was insufficient, Duoduo could only bombard the city with artillery on the one hand, and on the other hand, let the captured people clean up the horse piles, antlers, and thistles outside the city, tear down the low walls, and carry out a vigorous reclamation of the river.

On the banks of the moat, nearly 10,000 people poured baskets of earth into the river, stirring up rolling turbid waves, and in the distance, a steady stream of people used a kind of flatbed four-wheeled cart with a wide baffle at the front end to resist arrows, carry the earth to the river, and then dump it.

For a time, the flow of people in the wilderness was non-stop, like ants moving, which was very spectacular.

The fire guns on the city "bang bang" non-stop, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the soldiers holding fire guns fired continuously.

The archers of the city also kept bending their bows and shooting arrows, and the men and horses who filled the river rolled into the river from time to time.

Over the years, Liu Heizi has taken in a lot of displaced people and resettled them in Tuntian, but this is because the displaced people can provide him with food and taxes, not out of pity, so when the Qing army drove the people to fill the river, he did not spare his hands, and all kinds of firearms greeted him together.

This made the Qing army's reclamation speed not fast, but Duoduo was not in a hurry, he waited for the Ming army in the south to see if they would come to the rescue of Shangqiu.

If the Ming army rushed to rescue Shangqiu and Xuzhou, it would be better, Duoduo could come to a siege point that the Qing soldiers were best at to send reinforcements, and the Ma army would directly crush the Ming army that came to help.

This trick has been perfected in Liaodong, as long as the Ming army comes to the rescue, he is confident that he will defeat them.

This can not only eliminate the reinforcements and consume the strength of the Ming army on the Huaijiang River, so that they can break through the Huaijiang River later, but also make the defenders in the city waver after witnessing the destruction of the reinforcements, and a traitor appears, and then facilitate him to seize the city.

Therefore, Duoduo did not rush the progress of the city reclamation, and when Duoduo methodically reclaimed the river in Shangqiu, Gao Jie of Xuzhou had already reduced his forces to the city.

This is the Yellow River that flows south into the Huai River and then into the sea.

Xuzhou was just south of the Yellow River, and it was supposed to be possible to use the Yellow River to block Azig's army, but Duoduo sent Berenikan to lead 5,000 cavalry to bypass Shangqiu City and enter the outside of Xuzhou, so that the Ming army could not use the Yellow River to block Azig.

After Azig was received by Nikan, the army quickly built a pontoon bridge over the river, and 100,000 soldiers and horses crossed the Yellow River and surrounded Xuzhou.

In September, 200,000 Qing troops had crossed the Yellow River and surrounded the two important towns of Shangqiu and Xuzhou.

Nanyang City, the mansion of the marshal, Gao Yihuan was eating with his family early in the morning, and his mood was very relaxed.

He had already received the news that the Qing army was heading south, but it was not for himself, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and drank some wine that day.

At this time, Zhou Dali walked in, "Report to the marshal, the messenger from Guide has arrived, and I want to see the marshal." This is a letter from General Liu to his handsome. ”

"Alright, got it." Gao Yihuan waved his hand, "Put down the letter, the messenger will be placed in the post house first!" ”

"Marshal, aren't we going to send troops?" Chow Dali asked.

"Naturally, we have to make a move, but it's not time yet, let them fight first." Gao Yi said.

Chow Dali seems to understand a little.

In the city of Nanjing, in the imperial study, Zhu Cihong walked back and forth in the main hall, and Gao Mingheng, who had just been recalled to Nanjing a few days ago, said to him: "Your Majesty, the 200,000 troops of the Dongyu are going south, and the minister will return to Jiangbei today and command all the troops to resist the Dongyu." ”

Zhu Cihong's face was a little panicked, and he asked, "Sir, are you sure to defeat Dongyu?" ”

Gao Mingheng shook his head, "The elite of the Eastern Horse Army is stronger than our army in the field, and the towns in Jiangbei can only retreat into the city, passively defend, and dare not go out of the city to fight." The minister has no strategy to defeat the enemy, only the way to defend the enemy. ”

Zhu Cihong frowned, this means that he can only be beaten passively, so that the Qing army is tired of fighting and retreating? It's too embarrassing.

However, during the Chongzhen Dynasty, the last few times the Dongyu entered the Kou, it seemed that they were waiting for the Dongyu to get tired, grab the satisfaction, and then retreat by themselves.

The young Zhu Cihong obviously didn't want this situation to happen again, but Gao Mingheng, who he relied on the most, said so, and he had no choice, just his face was red with shame.

Seeing this, Gao Mingheng suddenly said: "Your Majesty, if you want to defeat the Tartars, there is no way!" Gao Jingzhong's soldiers are strong and strong, and if he is willing to send troops, he may be able to repel the Eastern Captives! ”

Zhu Cihong heard this, but his face was a little unhappy~
