Wang Zhongqing wanted to kill Ma Guanghui and make another contribution, paving a broad road for his future career in the Ming Dynasty, but as soon as he fought, he was immediately hit by an arrow, which made the situation worse.

This is also his greed, he has already done a great job in opening the city gate, but he wants to make it bigger, that Ma Guanghui has been the governor for four or five years, and the team is still there, how can he be taken down so easily.

Wang Zhongqing was hit by an indescribable arrow, drenched in blood, and his subordinates hurriedly set him up, waving their swords to block the rain of arrows, while retreating in a hurry.

Ma Guanghui hated this shameless man so much, how could he let him escape, he waved his knife again and again, roaring angrily, "Kill him, give it to Bendu!" Ben Governor had to screw off his head. ”

At the sound of the order, the soldiers behind him immediately rushed up and fought with more than 100 people brought by Wang Zhongqing on the streets.

After all, Ma Guanghui was the governor, and his personal guards were much more elite than Wang Zhongqing's, and he was immediately defeated and retreated.

Just when Wang Zhongqing couldn't stop it, Li Youlong rushed to Ma Guanghui in a hurry, and shouted urgently: "Governor, it's not good, the Ming army in Dongcheng has entered the city, and the situation in Nancheng is not good, and it has also fallen!" ”

In the east city, the Ming army saw that the gate of the urn city had been opened, so they threw away the ladders, siege cones and other equipment, picked up the weapons and poured into the city gate, countless helmets crowded together, the sound of shouting, so that the whole sky seemed to be buzzing.

The Ming army in the army, looking at the car, Dai Zhifan saw the continuous influx of Ming soldiers, and his face couldn't help but show a smile, and Zhang Huangyan, the supervisor behind him, saw this, and immediately shouted loudly: "Governor, the city will be broken today!" ”

Dai Zhifan was not shocked, "Pass the order, the army will enter the city as soon as possible and drive into Xuzhou!" ”

"No!"

The war drums of the Ming army beat in unison, and the army swarmed into the city, "Disarm and don't kill!" Surrender or die! The roar resounded throughout the city!

The soldiers of the Ming army who swarmed in all directions were killed in all directions, except for those who surrendered on the spot and abandoned their weapons and knelt on the ground, those who dared to wear armor to carry out the troops were killed on the spot!

Ma Guanghui listened to Chen Youlong's words, his heart and gall were broken, and he was so frightened that he lost all three souls and six spirits! Nancheng also descended, then Xuzhou will be fucking finished!

"Governor, it's important to break through and save your life!" Li Youlong shouted again.

Ma Guanghui blushed with a blue face, and glanced at Wang Zhongqing, who was killed and retreated, after all, his own life was more important.

"Let's go, break through from the North City!" Ma Guanghui gritted his teeth and said unwillingly.

When the guards moved the horses, he turned over and got on the horse, and galloped away to look north, and Wang Zhongqing was able to escape.

At this time, the entire Xuzhou City has become a pot of porridge, Ma Guanghui notified the departments to break through, but there are not many people and horses who rushed to Beicheng, and most of the green battalion soldiers, seeing that the general trend has gone, chose to surrender directly, too lazy to run for their lives.

Only Ma Guanghui's more than 3,000 governors came to Beicheng, as well as more than 1,000 bannermen led by the full generals and Tuo.

The governor is a confidant who has followed him for many years, and the bannermen under Tuo dare not stay in Xuzhou.

When he suppressed the Qingzhou Rebellion, and then encircled and suppressed the Shandong Righteous Army, chasing Wang Yan like a lost dog, he had a grudge against the Ming army, and he was afraid of falling into the hands of the Ming army.

Seeing that the Ming army entered the city in a big way, Ma Guanghui didn't dare to wait any longer, he estimated that there would be no people and horses to converge, so he could only pull the reins of the horse and rush out of the city.

More than 4,000 remnants of the army left the north city in a hurry, Ma Guanghui looked back at Xuzhou, and saw that the smoke in the city was thick, and the land that had been in business for several years, 50,000 people disappeared, and he couldn't help but feel desolate in his heart.

He looked at Xuzhou for a long time, before pulling out his horse and leaving, more than 4,000 people fled north in a hurry, fled for more than 20 miles in one breath, just wanted to stop and rest, suddenly a cannon sound in the woods on both sides, countless Ming soldiers, lined up and rushed out of the woods, and fired three rows of firearms, and the soldiers inserted the spurs, and the shout sign rushed to kill.

But it was Man Dazhuang who was ambushed here, the Ming army suddenly attacked, the Qing army was already sleepy and lacking, and was shot by the gunners, it was already in chaos, and when the Ming army rushed to the front, it was powerless to resist.

In a scuffle, the full general and Tuo were stabbed off the horse by several Ming soldiers, and the corpse was divided by a knife, Li Youlong knelt on the ground and asked to surrender, Ma Guanghui was hit in the head, and the blood flowed like an infusion, and he pulled the flag and fled.

······

Henan Mansion, south of Luoyang City, more than 70 miles.

The Jin-Qing coalition army was stationed in the south of Yishui, about five miles away from the Ming army company camp at the foot of Wan'an Mountain.

At such a close distance, the other side could almost see what was going on in the camps of both sides.

The camp of the Jin-Qing coalition army, there are four camps, the west camp is stationed with 50,000 Jin troops, commanded by Meng Qiaofang, the east is Kong Youde's camp, there are 40,000 Han banners, the Chinese army camp is personally seated by Dolgon, there are 40,000 Mongols and 15,000 Manchu Eight Banners, the front camp is commanded by Shang Kexi, there were originally more than 50,000 green battalions, and now there are less than 40,000 left.

Since March 20, after the Qingming stormed the camp once, Dolgon stopped attacking the Ming army's camp.

Although Dolgon made up his mind to attack the village, the firearms of the Ming army were too powerful, and the Qing army suffered tens of thousands of casualties in just one day's attack, and the losses were so large that all the troops could not accept it.

If he forces him to attack, I'm afraid that before the Ming camp is captured, the green camp will turn its face first.

In the past few days, Dolgon could only organize men at night to secretly fill in the three deep trenches in front of the Ming army camp, build more shield vehicles to resist the Ming army's guns, and prepare for another attack on the camp.

The Qing army's attack on the grain road did cause a lot of trouble for the Ming army.

The Qing army intercepted six batches of military rations of the Ming army before and after, but fortunately, there was a rampant horse army to chase and kill, even if the Qing army robbed the grain, it could not be transported away, and could only be burned on the spot.

The cavalry harassed the Ming army's grain route and achieved great results, which made Dol Luo very happy, but the situation he hoped for did not appear.

The Ming Dynasty's policy of going south provided the Ming Dynasty with a huge granary in Nanyang.

The cultivation of the three crops of rice in Champong, coupled with the Ming Dynasty's incorporation of the Nanyang domain into its own economic system, cultivated Nanyang into a single economy for rice cultivation, and became an important source of food and a place for commodity dumping in the Ming Dynasty.

This made Wang Yan equivalent to hanging a kidney, which was very strong.

Even if Dolgon plundered him for six batches of grain and grass, Huguang still had grain to carry it.

From Nanyang to Guangzhou, the sea is full of grain ships, from the Pearl River through the Ling Canal to the Xiangjiang River into Dongting Lake, and then to Wuchang, and then north to the long waterway of the Han River, two or three hundred thousand slender men, pulling fibers, to transport grain to the Ming army, the river is crowded with grain boats.

After arriving in Xiangyang, there were nearly 10,000 coolies who unloaded the grain bags from the ship, and finally more than 100,000 people who were requisitioned by the imperial court pushed wheelbarrows to transport the grain bags through Xinye, Nanyang, and Ruzhou to the front line in Luoyang.

Where is this comparison of military strength, it is simply a pile of money and a comparison of national strength.

Of course, Dolgon did not wait for the Ming army to run out of food, Wang Yan's daily white rice, the grain did not run out, and the food of the Qing army became increasingly tight.

Shanxi rebelled, and the grain that was originally going to be transported to Henan fell into the hands of Jiang Xiang, and the grain from Hebei and the banner people in Beijing wanted to eat it.

There are still 180,000 remaining troops, the consumption is amazing, the millions of cattle and sheep taken from Moxi Mongolia, only 20,000 are left, the rice and flour are almost exhausted, according to this consumption rate, at most ten days, the Qing army will run out of food, can only rely on killing horses to survive, and once they start to kill horses, the defeat of the Qing Dynasty will be far away?

In the early morning, in the camp of the Qing army, Dolgon, Lou Qin and others shuttled through the camp, watching the Manmeng soldiers eating and drinking in the camp.

There were several large cauldrons in the camp with beef and mutton stewed in them, and animal bones were scattered all over the camp.

So much meat should be said to be an enviable thing, but Manmeng Qiding is miserable.

At this time, a Niu Lu picked up a piece of mutton from the pot, took a bite, and suddenly scolded, "Straight lady thief, why is it so stinky and has no taste at all?" ”

The Manchu economy collapsed, not only because of the lack of food, but also because of the depletion of strategic goods such as salt and tea.

Tea was mainly produced in the south, and the Qing army did not have many reserves, so it could only get some from special channels, but after the Ming Dynasty blockaded the Manchus, it was already difficult to get it from the south.

The Manchu Qing mainly ate the salt of the two Huai and Shandong, after the two Huai were lost, they all relied on Shandong, and the salt of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has always been for the eight imperial merchants to operate, the Shanxi rebellion made a large number of Jin merchants suffered, the original business that sold official salt, have closed down, and the Qing army has become a problem to eat salt.

After the cattle and sheep lacked forage and a large number of deaths, the Qing army lacked salt to deal with it, and a lot of meat was rotten.

Moreover, he eats cattle and sheep every day, and there is no tea to drink, and the Manmeng Qiding can't stand it.

"Is this fucking for human food?" Niu Lu angrily kicked on the cauldron, and the entire shelf immediately collapsed, the soup extinguished the flames, and all the sheep bones in the pot fell to the ground.

After entering the customs, the flag was arrogant and lascivious, and the Niu Lu kicked over the cauldron, but the more he scolded, the more fierce he became, "Lao Tzu wants to eat fresh mutton sprinkled with salt, rice, vegetables, don't eat this stinky meat, do you know!" ”

Dolgon was patrolling the camp, he couldn't help but be furious when he saw this, he hurriedly walked over with a distorted face, and the surrounding bannermen hurriedly let go of the salute, and the cow Lu also found Dolgon, he was slightly stunned, and he hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and said angrily: "Regent, these people use carrion as military food, let us eat ......"

Niu Lu didn't know the dilemma that Dolgon was facing now, he only thought that it was the leader of the gang, and he didn't think that the Qing army's salt had run out before the grain.

Before Niu Lu could finish speaking, Dolgon suddenly pulled out his war knife, slashed directly at Niu Lu's neck, and then kicked him to the ground.

The surrounding Manmeng Qiding was stunned when they saw this sudden scene, and everyone looked at Dolgon and the corpse of Niu Lu lying on the ground in a daze.

Dolgon's face was gloomy and he was out of breath, and suddenly he shouted angrily: "Whoever dares to waste food again, this king will not spare it!" ”
