Chapter 598: Huang County, Qingzhou, Everything is Ready, Only Dongfeng is owed!

.

Dengzhou City is already a dead move, and there is no need for him to continue to pay attention to it. No matter how clever and wise, how suave, and far-sighted Dolgon is in history, he is now a dead man. A person who has been starved for five months, even if a miracle happens, he will not be able to fly out of the palm of the Tiger Army.

After galloping for an hour, Zhang Zhun came to Huang County. Garrisoned in Huang County were the soldiers of the Chuangzi Battalion led by Hao Linyong, as well as Zhang Shenyan's Yamen of Dengzhou Mansion. Zhang Shenyan's matter, Zhang Zhun did not need to pay too much attention to it, what he wanted to check was the combat readiness work of the Chuang Zi Battalion.

"Your Excellency!"

"Your Excellency!"

"Your Excellency!"

Seeing Zhang Zhun coming, the officers of the Chuangzi battalion all came up to say hello.

Most of them were veterans of Zhang Zhun when he was in the Fushan City Guards, and now they have all become officers. Many of them were ordinary soldiers when they were in the escort team, and now they are all team commanders or even team leaders and team deputies. They are full of enthusiasm for the arrival of their old captain.

As the Tiger Ben Army became larger and larger, there were more and more officers and soldiers, and the area under control was getting larger and larger, and they old people wanted to see Zhang Zhun more and more, but there were fewer and fewer opportunities. So, as soon as Zhang Zhun arrived, dozens of officers surrounded him in the middle at once.

"Your task is not easy! The Tartars went south, and they must have come to save Dengzhou City. I believe that the Tartars in Dengzhou City will also find a way to break through when the time comes. Whether you can block the Tartars' breakthrough depends on your abilities. You say, "Do you have faith?" ”

Zhang Zhun stood in the middle of the group of officers and said loudly.

"Absolutely!"

The officers of the Chuang Zi Battalion replied in unison, very, very loud.

How can you not have confidence in fighting with the old captain?

"Good!"

"Just have faith!"

"I believe that the Tartars in Dengzhou City are almost starving. These few months must have been a hellish experience for them. They have long since lost their ferocity as before. Unless there is an outside response, otherwise, with their ability, it is impossible to break through.

Zhang Zhun said with satisfaction.

In order to show their enthusiasm, the officers of the Chuangzi battalion specially organized a big meal to welcome Zhang Zhun's arrival. They don't know where they got the roast whole sheep, roast suckling pig, and set up a fragrant feast. Zhang Zhun naturally participated in it unceremoniously, and he was happy.

"You say, if we eat outside Dengzhou City, how will the Tartars react?"

Suddenly, a very interesting question was asked. There is certainly no precise answer to this question. Everyone was gossiping and laughing. So, Zhang Zhun decided to send someone to send a fragrant roast suckling pig to the outside of Dengzhou City, where it was placed, and then the cavalry soldiers were responsible for taking care of it. See how the Tartars react.

Soon after, a cavalry soldier reported that after the roast suckling pig was sent to its destination, a lot of tartars appeared on the wall of Dengzhou City, scolding outside the city. There were also rebels shooting indiscriminately outside. However, the Tartar never opened the city gate and rushed out to grab the roast suckling pig. It seems that they are not hungry enough.

"Hungry Tartars for two more months!"

"That's right! Starve tartars for another two months! ”

"Let's see if they can hold it after two months!"

The officers of the Chuang Zi Battalion shouted excitedly, and many of them even danced with excitement, shouting that Tartar has this day. Looking at their situation, they are even happier than the New Year. They can't help but be unhappy, such an opportunity to play with Tartars is not every day.

Fortunately, the Tartars of Dengzhou City did not hear it, otherwise, they would have regretted drawing their swords and committing suicide. I knew that it would fall to such a point, what did they do when they came to Shandong so actively? Originally, only the Tartars were playing with others, but now it was the turn of others to play with them back. It's very uncomfortable to be toyed with!

After a full meal, Zhang Zhuncai and Hao Linyong carefully inspected the combat readiness of Huang County. The five co-leaders of the Chuang Zi Battalion also followed behind them.

The city wall of Huangxian County, after special reinforcement, the city wall facing Dengzhou City has been increased to more than three zhang. The original loose loess has also been tamped. Outside the city walls, a trench five feet deep was also dug. The main function of these trenches was not to block the approach of the Tartars, but to pile up the corpses of the Tartars.

At the beginning of the Huangxian War, the corpses of the Tartars, stacked on top of each other, were actually five or six feet high, almost reducing the height of the city wall by half. Many Tartars put up a ladder and climbed straight up. In order to prevent accidents, the Tiger Ben army decided to dig a ravine under the city wall to fill the Tartar corpses, so that the city wall could be fully functional.

"By the way, what's the situation with the ** bag reserves?"

Zhang Zhun suddenly asked.

"My lord, we have 3,300 ** bags in stock."

Hao Linyong replied in the affirmative.

"Three thousand three hundred? So much? ”

Zhang Zhun was slightly surprised.

All the enemies in Dengzhou City add up, maybe there are 10,000 people, and three people can share a ** bag, which is really a very honorable thing. Don't be sad about Dorgon, the Tiger Army takes care of him. More than 3,300 ** bags, that's more than 16,000 catties of black gunpowder! Enough for all the Tartars to fly to heaven!

In the last battle of Huangxian County, the Tiger Ben Army found that the ** bag was very easy to use, so all troops began to train a lot on how to use the ** bag. If the Tartars attack again, they will definitely be hit head-on by ** packs. With the assistance of the Flying Dragon Cannon, even if the Tartars in Dengzhou City were not besieged for five months, even if they were all fierce and fierce, it would be impossible to conquer Huangxian.

Don't Dolgon want to break out? Didn't Duoduo want to break through? I think so badly! However, they did not dare to break through. Why? The reason is simple, once they break through, they commit suicide.

Trapped in Dengzhou City, they still have a chance to survive and see the sun tomorrow. But once they launched an attack on Huang County, they had only a dead end. The various firearms of the Tiger Ben Army will easily tear them apart under the city walls. Last time, when they were strong, they couldn't break through Huang County. After suffering heavy losses, where is there enough strength to storm Huang County?

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the Tartars can conquer Huang County, or fly over Huang County, they will have to pass through Dengzhou Mansion, Laizhou Mansion, Qingzhou Mansion, and Jinan Mansion before they can enter Beizhili. Regardless of the pursuit of the cavalry of the Tiger Army, regardless of the interception of the Tiger Army along the way, such a long-distance march alone is enough for the Tartars to lie down. If Dorgon had escaped like this, he would not be a man, but a god.

"The Tartars have gone south, and the Tartars of Dengzhou City will definitely have to make a last fight. I guess they're going to have to die. However, we should not take it lightly and respond cautiously so as not to suffer too many casualties. ”

Zhang Zhun said slowly.

"Rest assured, my lord, we are fully prepared. As soon as the Tartars come out, we will give them a head-on blow. With the current state of the Tartars, it is difficult for me to inflict heavy casualties on us. ”

Hao Linyong said confidently.

In his hands, he has a force of nearly 2,000 people, as well as a considerable number of flying dragon cannons, as well as the cooperation of the Pinzi battalion, and he also has so many ** bags in reserve, it is not a problem to meet the Tartars who are not in the state at all. In fact, whether Dorgon has the courage to break through is a matter of two questions. According to Hao Linyong's estimate, if the Tartars heading south did not enter the territory of Laizhou Prefecture, it would be impossible for Dolgon to break through. Because, without the close contact of the southbound Tartars, a breakthrough is death.

There should be no problem for the southbound Tartars to enter the territory of Shandong. The biggest problem is in Qingzhou City. The Tartars who entered Shandong had to break through Qingzhou City in order to enter Laizhou Mansion and attack the back of Huangxian. The strength of the Tiger Ben Army in Qingzhou City is also very strong, and it is also very difficult for the Tartars to break through Qingzhou City.

"After defeating the Tartars who have gone south, it's time to settle accounts with Dolgon."

Zhang Zhun said meaningfully.

Hao Linyong wanted to speak and stopped, and said tentatively: "My lord, that ......"

Zhang Zhun said in surprise: "What's that?" Say? ”

Hao Linyong said hesitantly: "This, my lord, you see, the Tartars of Dengzhou City have no combat power, and we only need about a thousand people to block their breakthrough." You see......"

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "You want to send some people to the front line?" ”

Hao Linyong hurriedly said: "Exactly! Go get a workout! ”

Zhang Zhun smiled.

Hao Linyong thought there was a play, and suddenly became happy.

Who knows, Zhang Zhun's face was straight, and he said seriously: "No one is allowed to leave Huang County!" All nailed here for me! ”

Without waiting for Hao Linyong to explain, Zhang Zhun had already said solemnly: "I want to make none of the Tartars in Dengzhou City escape!" Your task is to trap them to death! Block their breakout! I want to count the corpses of the Tartars one by one, and I will ask you for one less! ”

Hao Linyong hurriedly said: "Yes! Yes, sir! ”

Zhang Zhun's tone softened, and he said in a deep voice: "In the future, when you counterattack Liaodong, there are Tartars, what are you anxious about?" ”

Hao Linyong hurriedly stood up and promised: "My lord, we were wrong! We must be optimistic about the Tartars in Dengzhou City, and we won't let any of them run away! ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and didn't say anything more. The Tartar of Dengzhou City is a bait to attract Huang Taiji to the south, if the Tiger Ben army inflicts heavy damage on Huang Taiji and forces Huang Taiji to withdraw his troops, then this bait will be useless. The usual way to dispose of the decoy that has lost its effect is to throw it away.

After spending the night in Huang County, Zhang Zhun rode his horse and continued westward. After staying overnight in Laizhou City, I briefly checked the internal affairs. He is in Laizhou Mansion, and the key inspection place is the former office of Wang Xuzhai. In the war of the Tiger Ben Army in Hejian Province, most of the logistics materials need to be transported from here, and they must not be sloppy. After a period of rushing work, the former office of Wang Xuzhai already had the initial scale of a civil wharf, and a large number of merchant ships docked here, and then loaded with all kinds of materials and went to Hejian Province.

Zhang Zhun took time to talk to a few of the original backbones of the Smelling Fragrance Sect here. Since the Wenxiang Sect was merged into the Tiger Ben Army, the treatment it has received is still very good. For the average backbone, it is much better to do things with the Tiger Ben Army than with the Wenxiang Sect. At the very least, they can get their own land, they can start their own families on the spot, and they no longer need to run around or worry. In short, they can live a normal life from now on.

The land reform work of the Tiger Ben Army in Laiyang and Qixia has been completely completed. Whether it is the local residents or the backbone of the Wenxiang Sect, they have all got their own fields. The soil in which the Smelling Fragrance Sect was born no longer exists. Therefore, in the past few months, there has been no resurgence of the Smelling Fragrance Sect. These two places have been completely integrated into the big family of Laizhou Mansion and Dengzhou Mansion. The only regret is that no trace of Wang Yilun has been found, and I don't know if this guy is dead or hiding in an unknown corner.

On December 24, Zhang Zhun came to Qingzhou City.

Qingzhou City does not fall under Zhang Zhun's jurisdiction. It stands to reason that the Tiger Army should not be here. However, isn't the chief military officer stationed here Song Degang? As long as Song Degang sent an invitation and asked the Tiger Ben Army to cooperate in garrisoning Qingzhou Mansion, there would be no problem at all. Before the imperial court did not have a new edict, Zhang Zhun and the imperial court were still one family. So, under Song Degang's "invitation", the troops of the Huben Army continued to drive to Qingzhou City. King Heng of Qingzhou had already taken refuge in Jinan Mansion.

According to the battle plan, the garrison of Qingzhou City was the Liezi Battalion, Qizi Battalion, Renzi Battalion, Taozi Battalion, and Shunzi Battalion of the Huben Army, and the commanders were Peng Bo, Li Jiaxi, Zhang Yatie, Wu Xinshui, and Zhang Youcai. In addition, there were also dragoon battalions led by Yang Weiguo and Xie Zhiyou to assist in the battle. The total strength of the army is more than four thousand people. The strength of the Tiger Ben Army here is still very strong. Because Qingzhou City is the first throat of the Tartar cavalry to enter Shandong, the battle for Qingzhou City by the Tartars will obviously be very fierce.

Since the Tartars want to fight, the Tiger Ben Army will have a good time fighting with the other party. To fight, to die. The casualties of the Tiger Ben Army can be replenished at any time. The casualties of the Tartars, however, are difficult to replenish. Zhang Zhun's plan is to exchange one life for another, and it is all worth it. The more living power of the Tartars consumed here, the less resistance there will be to counterattack Liaodong in the future.

"Our purpose is to turn Qingzhou City into a meat grinder!"

Zhang Zhun said to the officers beside him with an awe-inspiring expression.
