On the Jinluan Hall of the Forbidden City in the capital, the spy told everything he knew. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Hearing the news that Zheng Chenggong had beheaded the Doni sacrifice flag in Nanjing and swore to the Northern Expedition, all the officials in the hall showed frightened looks.

Qing Shunzhi scolded with hatred with a pale face: "I also deliberately deigned to order someone to pass on the book, hoping to live peacefully with him." I didn't expect him to be so ignorant of what to do, and he dared to kill my Qing warriors, and I was inseparable from this thief. I decided to send another 100,000 troops to reinforce Xuzhou, and ordered Ao Bai to take Zheng Haikou's head to me! ”

Shunzhi always thought that the Qing warriors could not defeat the Zheng family army because of the disadvantage of firearms.

After seeing the power of the artillery cast by Tang Ruowang's organization, he felt that Zheng Jiahuo's run was nothing more than that.

With this sharp weapon, Emperor Shunzhi is now full of confidence, and feels that he can defeat the Zheng family's army, and no matter how bad it is, he can resist the Zheng family's army's offensive and sit firmly in the north.

After pondering for a moment, Sonny said to Shunzhi in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the matter of reinforcements, the old minister thinks that it is better to postpone it!" ”

Shunzhi looked at Sony and drank, "What does Aiqing mean?" ”

Sony said, "Lao Chen has some suspicions that Xuzhou is not the main direction of Zheng Jiajun's attack. In recent years, Zheng Chenggong has been recruiting and training soldiers. According to the internal report, the Zheng family's army is now no less than 500,000 soldiers. Although it is necessary to leave soldiers and horses to garrison various places, there are only 100,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou this time, which is too few and unreasonable! ”

Shunzhi calmed down when he heard the excitement, pondered for a while and asked, "According to Aiqing's intentions, what is Zheng Jiajun's plan?" ”

"Xuzhou and Shandong are mostly easy to attack and difficult to defend, even if the Zheng army is allowed to conquer it, I will ride south in the Qing Dynasty, and the victory or defeat is unpredictable. With Zheng Haikou's consistent cautious use of troops, the old minister thought that Xuzhou was a lure on the way. The main force of Zheng's army should be the west road, out of Xichuan, attacking Shaanxi and Henan, occupying Lingtong Pass, Wuguan, Dasanguan, and Xiaoguan, steadily and steadily, and encroaching on the territory of our Qing Dynasty step by step. ”

"En~~!" Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty thought about it carefully, recognized Sony's opinion, his face softened slightly, and then he said in a deep voice: "Even so, Xuzhou originally had 80,000 soldiers and horses, and this time the Zheng family army sent 100,000 troops, in order to imitate Xuzhou's defense emptiness, and for the Zheng family army." I will send another 20,000 Qing soldiers to reinforce, and we must let Aobai hold Xuzhou! Curb Pilon! ”

He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed and shouted, "The slave is here!" ”

Emperor Shunzhi watched him drink, "Order the Pingxi generals Gushan Ezhen Esai, Hahamu, and Han Daijia to send people to monitor the movements of the Zheng family's soldiers and horses in Xichuan at all times, and report immediately as soon as there is a situation!" ”

"Slaves obey!"

Emperor Shunzhi looked at a group of ministers under His Royal Highness, "Now that Zheng Haikou has invaded on a large scale, it is a matter of the survival of my Qing Dynasty, your glory and wealth, and everyone should do their best." The Han people regard us as enemies, and you must not be lucky! ”

When the Manguan heard this, he knelt down and shouted, "The slave will definitely swear to defend my Qing Dynasty foundation to the death, and will not communicate with the thieves, so that my ancestors will ignore the inheritance!" ”

"Zhong Aiqing, get up quickly, I believe in you. At this time, when I am dying, I should work together to fight against the thieves! ”

……

The tragic siege of Xuzhou continued, more than 100 ladders were set up on the city wall, and the soldiers of the Zheng family army climbed along the ladders to the city head one after another.

However, the garrison of the Qing army in the city was also quite tenacious, and Ao Bai was not afraid of the arrow stone to the front line.

Under the fierce fighting for several days, there were also Han troops and Manchu armies, all of which were Qing troops.

Although the Qing army had many recruits, under the supervision and intimidation of the knife-wielding hand behind, they could only fight desperately in the city to resist.

After many days of bloody fighting, no matter how tender the recruits will become veterans, people will become numb, and when they see the soldiers of the Zheng family army climbing up to the top of the city, they will pounce on the head of the city, and the head of the city will be guarded without danger.

At the foot of the city wall, countless smashed and burned ladders and the wreckage of rushing cars were piled up everywhere, confirming the tragic extent of the offensive and defensive battles in the past few days.

The artillery of the Zheng family army and the Qing army was unusable under the continuous and uninterrupted fire.

Now both sides are fighting with their lives.

The battle did not go well, and Yu Kuan, the commander of the Fifth Army, personally led the team to rush to the front line.

"Quick, quick, attack Lao Tzu!" Yu Kuan had already led people to attack the city, fighting the defenders with all his might, and at the same time calling on the soldiers under the city to climb the city tower as soon as possible.

But there are not many soldiers who can really follow Yu Kuan to climb to the top of the city, and the towering and solid city wall of Xuzhou is far beyond the ordinary city.

The rest of the money was chopped left and right, leading the Zheng family army to fight to the death, but the follow-up soldiers and horses could not keep up, and finally they were driven off the city by the Aobai army.

Under the city of Xuzhou, the Zheng family army camped.

"See the Commander-in-Chief!" Yu Kuan of the Fifth Army stepped into the main tent of the Chinese army covered in blood, and when he saw Gan Hui, he immediately saluted and said.

"Yuan Chang, still haven't you been able to attack it?" As soon as he saw the rest of the money like this, Gan Hui had already guessed the result of today's siege.

"The last general is incompetent! Although the castle was attacked, it was still ......" nodded slightly, and Yu replied ashamedly.

Yu had just gone through a bloody battle, and he looked quite tired.

"It's no wonder you!" Gan Hui sighed secretly, shook his head and said: "I didn't expect that the artillery of the Qing army would be so powerful, and my own heavy artillery couldn't be transported for a while. Miscalculated! ”

"Commander-in-chief, let the last general attack again!" Yu Qian asked for his life: "Spare this life, and the last general will also conquer Xuzhou and open up the main road to the north!" ”

"Forget it, Yuan Chief!" Gan Hui shook his head and said, "After so many days of attacking the city without results, the sharp spirit of the sergeants and soldiers of the army has almost been polished. If we continue to attack, we will only work in vain and waste our military strength! While waiting for the heavy artillery, wait for the news of the battle situation of the army on the Western Road! Chief, you've been working hard to attack the city for days, so go down and rest! ”

"The last general retired first!" After bowing to Gan Huijin, Yu turned to leave.

Seeing the rest of the money leaving, Zheng Jing, who had been staying in the camp and not making a sound, asked, "Commander-in-chief, since Xuzhou is not easy to fight, why don't you go around and continue to go north?" ”

Gan Hui smiled dumbly when he heard it, "If Xuzhou is not conquered, if the army bypasses the north, it will leave a great hidden danger." The Qing army can go out of the city at any time to attack the rear of our army, or the lifeblood of the army - the place where grain and grass are hoarded. Once the grain and grass are lost, the light ones will be unstable, and the heavy ones will be defeated. ”

Zheng Jing listened and continued to ask, "Can you leave some soldiers and horses to take care of the Qing soldiers in Xuzhou City, and let the other soldiers and horses continue to go north?" ”

Gan Hui knew that Zheng Chenggong wanted Zheng Jing to join the army, that is, he wanted Zheng Jing to know more about military affairs.

He patiently explained, "In this way, it will be a great taboo for the soldiers, and it will be easy for the enemy to break through the scattered forces." Therefore, for the sake of the safety of the army, the nail in Xuzhou must be pulled out. ”

Zheng Jing hurriedly bowed when he heard this, "The last general has been taught, Commander-in-Chief Xie for guidance!" ”

Gan Hui nodded and said, "Just after attacking the city, there must be many wounded soldiers, so you can also go out to help!" ”

Zheng Jing hurriedly said, "Yes! The end will be retired! (To be continued.) )
