The Ming army planned to capture the hills outside the west city and dig aqueducts, so that the warships could rush directly into the moat, and force the city to change with strong military pressure, so as to seize Yangzhou City.

Duoduo knew that the biggest threat to Yangzhou was not the Ming army outside Yangzhou, but after the First World War in Jiangnan, the Southern Ming court had returned to the stage of fighting for the world.

In order to prevent changes in the city, Duoduo, who was not good at defending the city, fully absorbed the experience of the Ming army generals, especially Wang Yan and Jiangyin Chen and Yan.

Duoduo guarded the city in battlements, and the four cities were guarded by Manchu, he personally guarded the west city, inlaid with the yellow flag Meler Ezhen Kakhamu guarded the south city, Jiang Waterproof Division led Bashan to guard the east city, Meler Ezhen Ge Chuha guarded the north city, and the high mountains outside the west city were handed over to Hui Sai, the son-in-law of the Aixin Jueluo family, and the Manchu general Asiha was responsible for inspecting the city, strictly preventing the Ming army from doing meticulously, and the people who went out at will should be killed immediately.

In the city, Han Eight Banners such as Guan Xiaozhong, Liang Huafeng, and Tong Yangliang could only be reduced to vassals, and other Green Battalion generals would not be reused, but would be monitored.

Although such a move made the Green Battalion generals dissatisfied, it did prevent some of the possibilities of change in the city.

The Ming army wants to attack the mountain, to dig a ditch, the Qing army in the city is clear at a glance, Duoduo naturally can not let the Ming army easily complete, the Qing cavalry in Yangzhou City rushed out of the city from time to time, to interfere, the two sides carried out a long tug of war outside the city.

The lonely city could not be defended for a long time, so the Qing army in Jiangbei in addition to operating Yangzhou, there was also a heavy city in Hefei.

Hefei and Yangzhou are horns of each other, Yangzhou threatens Nanjing, threatens the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and Hefei threatens the waist of the Ming army, threatening Anqing and Wuhu to cut off the connection between Huguang and Jiangnan.

Guarding Hefei was the Jiangbei Admiral Ma Guanghui, who was originally the Admiral of Beizhi, but it was unfavorable to encircle and suppress Xie Qian, and he was pushed to the end.

The Qing court asked Duoduo to personally lead the troops to encircle and suppress, but Duoduo had no way to deal with the methods of the rogue warfare, and the Qing court had to reactivate Ma Guanghui to help Duoduo encircle and suppress.

During the encirclement and suppression, Ma Guanghui absorbed the Liukou and gradually grew bigger, and after the Battle of Nanjing, the Qing court found that he had 50,000 people, so he was transferred to Hefei.

When Li Guo interspersed between Hefei and Yangzhou, Ma Guanghui knew that the Ming army was going to make a move on Yangzhou, which made him very worried that once Yangzhou was lost, Hefei would be in danger.

"Junmen, the envoy of Prince Yu for help has arrived for three days, and the Zhenguo Gongxi has urged twice, so that the military gate can send troops to rescue Yangzhou as soon as possible."

The one who spoke was Ma Guanghui's subordinate general Yi Yonggui, and the Zhenguo Gongxi Pants in his mouth was the eldest son of Nurhachi's third son, Abai, Aixin Jueluo Xi Pants.

Now the Qing court's control over the Han generals is not as good as before, in order to control the Han army, Dolgon not only let the Han generals send their sons to Beijing as hostages, but also sent a large number of royal families into the green camp to assume the role of supervising the army.

Ma Guanghui stood on the tower of Hefei City, silent for a while, and he hesitated for a long time about this matter.

"What do you think, sir?" He turned his head and looked at a scribe behind him, "Sir, do you think we should rescue Yangzhou?" ”

The reason why Ma Guanghui asked this was because he had learned that Li Guo had 30,000 people and cut off the connection between Hefei and Yangzhou, and he only had 50,000 people, and he had to leave soldiers and horses to defend the city and divide his troops to rescue.

The scribe was Ma Guanghui's staff Li Youlong, who played the role of a military advisor, and in the previous war to encircle and suppress the Liukou, he suggested that Ma Guanghui should vigorously absorb the Liukou, so that Ma Guanghui's men and horses skyrocketed from 20,000 to more than 50,000, and Ma Guanghui has since sat firmly in the position of Jiangbei Governor.

Li Youlong took a step forward and bowed, "The military gate is the Jiangbei governor of the Qing Dynasty, since the king of Yu asked for help, he naturally wanted to send troops to rescue, but he wanted to remind the military gate, the military gate tried his best to encircle and suppress Xie Qian in Shandong, but he was demoted to a thousand presidents by the imperial court, how to rescue now, please be cautious!" ”

After speaking, Li Youlong took a step back and stood behind Ma Guanghui.

When he encircled and suppressed the Liukou and ambushed Ding Weichang, Li Youlong persuaded Ma Guanghui to be self-respecting, and now that he listened to his serious words, Ma Guanghui naturally understood what Li Youlong meant.

140,000 Ming army launched the Jiangbei campaign, if before, Ma Guanghui was not scared, but now Nanjing was defeated, and then Azig was killed, the Qing Dynasty broke two kings in a row, and indeed the Qing army was a little frightened, he felt that he could not be saved, Yangzhou was a dish of the Ming Dynasty sooner or later, unless Dolgon in the north sent troops to support, otherwise there was basically no possibility of lifting the siege by Hefei.

Ma Guanghui thought about it, he still had to hold the men and horses in his hands, in case the loss was too great, even if he won, the Qing Dynasty would restrict him and gradually deprive him of his military power, he thought about it and turned around, "Mr. is right, since the King of Yu is asking for help, the governor must be saved, but the situation in Hefei must also be considered to prevent the Ming army from attacking the east and the west and raiding Hefei, so Hefei must keep enough men and horses to defend against Jin Shenghuan." ”

As he spoke, he stopped and looked at Yi Yonggui, "Let General Yi take the lead and lead 5,000 men and horses to rescue Yangzhou!" ”

"Military Gate!" Ma Guanghui looked at Yi Yonggui, he felt that the situation was wrong, and after listening to his words, he immediately exclaimed, his voice changed a little, and his face was like eating a mouthful of.

Ma Guanghui knew what he was going to say, 5,000 people and horses went to save Yangzhou, wasn't that looking for death? He waved his hand to stop Yi Yonggui's words, "You are not an overlord, you didn't let you break into Yangzhou City, as long as you can contain Li Guo, what to do is up to you depending on the situation." ”

Yi Yonggui understood, his pale face recovered, he understood what Ma Guanghui meant, and said with a smile: "The last general, I know." ”

After Ma Guanghui gave the order, he was still a little uneasy, and said to Li Youlong: "What if Zhenguo Gong investigates?" ”

"The military gate will send a few beautiful women, and then let people prepare more wine and food, and send them every day, so that he doesn't have time to check, isn't it okay?" Li Youlong smiled slightly, "These royal families can't be compared with their ancestors now. ”

Ma Guanghui understood and waved for people to do it.

Duoduo sent a total of two messengers, in fact, after Sizhou was occupied, he sent a wave to notify Dolgon, but at that time he only reported the military situation, indicating that he could not withdraw, and did not ask for help.

After discussing with Dai Shan, Beijing Dolgon finally decided to abandon Yangzhou and withdraw Duoduo to Huaibei, but he did not expect that it was not realized in the end.

When the first beating report reached Beijing, Dolgon realized that the Ming Dynasty had been planning for a long time, and Yangzhou was afraid that it would be over, so he immediately gathered men and horses to prepare to go south to support, but before the men and horses were mobilized, a Ming army in North Korea killed Liaodong and carried out a harassment.
