At this time, more than a month has passed since Jin Shenghuan's initial battle, which almost wiped out the elite in Nanchang City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAccording to the previous practice of the Manmeng Eight Banners, when a city can be captured, it will unequivocally surround the city, and attack day and night (such as the old slave attacking Ningyuan), not taking the initiative to attack, but working overtime to build a high platform, digging a ditch at the edge of the city, under normal circumstances, it is a manifestation that it is really impossible to enter (such as Huang Taiji's attack on Jinzhou, or the battle of Jiangyin).

The Manchu chieftain Tan Tai worked day and night to direct the strong men brought in from all over the world, and spent more than a whole month of precious time digging ditches, building earth cities, and setting up long enclosures, in addition to plundering grain to reduce logistical pressure, sweeping away the periphery of Nanchang, and cutting off its connection with other surrounding states and counties. It is also because Nanchang City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is too dangerous to attack.

Nanchang City has been an important town in South China since ancient times, standing between the mountains and mountains, and the place where the three rivers meet. It is like a peninsula in the water, surrounded by water on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the danger of geographical location is not below Ganzhou.

Jin Shenghuan took 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers at the beginning, and besieged Ganzhou for several months without attacking it, which shows the difficulty of the besieging side in the siege battle. The Manmeng Eight Banners are long in field battles, and they are not very good at siege.

During the siege of Nanchang City, the Ming army inside and outside the city was not idle. Liu Wenxiu's troops stationed in Jiujiang sent a small force to take the initiative to attack, frequently harassing the grain roads in the rear of the Qing army, and fighting fiercely with the Qing army's grain protection team one after another, winning three victories in five battles.

Wang Deren and Jin Shenghuan came to the city again and fought to the death.

After the construction of the siege fortifications was completed, the Qing army relied on the high platforms and other fortifications outside the city to launch several strong attacks, but did not make the slightest progress. Instead, he was killed in the battle, and the first class of Maile Zhangjing Jue Luo Gu Nadai was killed.

In addition, the weather in July was really hot, and the Qing army's Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han Eight Banners could not adapt to the weather in the south, and some people in the army died of heat stroke or disease from time to time, and there were many non-combat attrition, and the combat strength of the Eight Banners declined seriously, so they had to besiege the city and rest.

So since then, the Qing army has completely changed its tactics, only encircling and not fighting, unless the Ming army in the city attacks and attacks, otherwise there will be absolutely no fighting.

Tan Tai's move is obvious, he wants to use the powerful weapon of hunger to completely defeat the Ming army in Nanchang City that refused to surrender.

The two sides involuntarily consumed each other.

……

Hubei, under the city of Changde.

There was also a difficult siege going on.

The two sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties have been fighting bloody for more than a month, Kong Youde sent more than 20,000 foot cavalry led by Meler Zhangjing Zhuoluo did not have much numerical advantage in the Ming army in the city, plus Changde City was dangerous and difficult to attack, the city was besieged for more than a month, and several times the forced ant attachment failed to attack it, but it lost a large number of soldiers and horses, and finally was defeated by Li Dingguo in the city out of the city.

After killing and retreating the Qing army, the Ming army immediately launched a retreat against the remnants of the Qing army and fought all the way to Longyang. During the battle, Li Dingguo, the commander who was responsible for the pursuit out of the city, took the lead and fought hard with the remnants of the Qing army several times. Zhuo Luo, the defeated general who had been defeated before, was also anxious, turned around and lined up in the suburbs, and for a time the Qing troops spread over the valley, intending to fight to the death with Li Dingguo's troops who were pursuing out of the city.

Li Dingguo also set up a large array after hearing the news, because of the victory of the Changde defense battle, the morale of the Ming army soldiers was very high, so as soon as they got the order to attack, the soldiers took the lead, the iron cavalry urged, first surrounded and killed more than a dozen Qing army rangers, and gave the remnants of the Qing army a dismount.

In the Qing army, some of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners on the side of Meile Zhangjing Zhuoluo saw the Ming army so proud, and their anger reached the extreme, since Chongzhen, they have never been the only ones who chased and killed the Ming army, when were the heroic Eight Banners soldiers chased and killed by the Ming army? It's a shame.

Therefore, they no longer thought about running, and rolled up their sleeves and fought with Li Dingguo's department. The two sides fought from the beginning of the morning sun to the waning western mountains, the battlefield was full of corpses, broken spears were thrown everywhere, and both armies did not back down, because Li Dingguo and Zhuo Luo knew very well that no matter who they were, as long as they held on for a while, victory would inevitably belong to him.

At this point in the battle, it is possible that the person who can motivate the declining morale of the sergeants will be able to persevere to the end and become the final winner. And Li Dingguo did it, he lived up to the nickname of "10,000 enemies", holding his waist knife high, and under the protection of a cadre of iron-blooded guards, he fought in and out of the Qing army's array, like a tiger descending the mountain.

Picked more than a dozen elite white armor of the Qing army, and even beheaded the captain of the personal guard of the Qing army commander Zhuo Luo, Niu Lu Ezhen Rhodes, who was born in white armor, and finally won the victory in the field, and more than 8,000 remnants of the Qing army had to retreat again and hid in Longyang.

On the eighth day of the first month, the two armies fought again. Li Dingguo commanded an army of 10,000 to march to the pine forest three miles away from the dry lawn and encountered the Qing army, and a major battle ensued.

In view of the fact that the Ming army under Li Dingguo was too brave and cooperated with each other seamlessly, the Qing army Zhuo Luo knew that unless there were thousands of Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners to fight, it would be difficult to win by relying only on the dozens of white-armored elites directly under his command and the remnants of the Eight Thousand Green Battalion Han Eight Banners.

So after thinking about it a few times, Zhuo Luo and the accompanying Green Battalion Chief Soldier Xu Yong, Han Eight Banner Jialazhang Jinglanbai and others worked out a plan to defeat the Ming army, which was also the only choice for the remnants of the Qing army, to fight an ambush.

In order to let the Ming army take the bait, the Qing army, which had already lost two battles in a row and suffered heavy casualties, suddenly appeared in front of the Ming army, which had been struggling to hunt for prey. The purpose of this small Qing army was to lure the Ming army into the ambush circle, and then annihilate it with all its might.

After discovering the enemy, the Ming army detachment that was searching outside chased this small Qing army without thinking about it. When a small group of Qing troops saw that the Ming army had taken the bait, they immediately fled quickly and successfully led the Ming army into an ambush in the pine forest.

And when the rest of the Qing army quickly blocked the entrance to the pine forest, the commander Zhuo Luo was pleasantly surprised to find that there were not only the forwards of the Ming army's detachment that entered the ambush circle, but also the commander of the Ming army, Li Dingguo.

You've really caught a big fish! Zoro was so happy that he almost smiled crookedly.

When the Ming army entered the ambush circle, with a few cannon shots, the rumbling cannons of the Qing army appeared in all directions of the pine forest.

After seeing a large number of ambushes flashing from all around, although there was a commotion in the array of the Ming army, there was no major commotion. Under the command of Commander Li Dingguo, the sergeants quickly adjusted their formations, attacked in four directions, and separately met the enemy soldiers approaching from the southeast, northwest, and north.
