Seeing that Kong Youde gave up the hand-to-hand battle and ordered the whole army to withdraw to the west of the city, Pang Yue was slightly stunned at first, and couldn't help but shake out a hint of a smile at random. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Originally, he was full of confidence in the next battle, and he didn't feel any suspense at all. With the meager strength of the Chinese army, it won't take long for the camp to tear their formation to pieces. If the famous "King Gongshun" really dared to defend the dignity of the Qing Dynasty with white-knuckle warfare, he would definitely teach him a good lesson. But now it seems that Kong Youde is really a person who can afford to let go, and he gave up decisively when he knew that he was defeated.

"My lord, the Qing captives have retreated, do you want to pursue them?" Zhang Yunli's face showed a bit of surprise.

"No need to chase, they're just retreating instead of routing." After Pang Yue said this, a smile appeared on his face, "Since Kong Youde doesn't want to fight, we have saved a lot of things." This Kong Youde seriously prepared for the war before the war, and then decided to withdraw the army when he knew that he was not enough, and he could afford to take it and put it down, and he would not take into account those unhelpful face problems, and it seemed that he was really not an idle person. Compared to the simple-minded Tartar generals, he was much more difficult. It's just that he seems to have neglected one point in a hurry. ”

Zhang Yunli suddenly became interested: "What do you mean, my lord, that Kong Youde's retreat without a fight will attract severe punishment from the slave and the handsome Duoduo?" ”

"Not this." Pang Yue said, "Such a good dog, how could Duoduo punish him at will? The problem is that although Kong Youde withdrew like this, although he preserved his strength and avoided most of the losses, it was also a fatal blow to the confidence of the soldiers under his command. In the future, if they encounter our army alone, if they do not have absolute superiority in strength and weapons, the officers and men of Kong Youde's department will not dare to come forward to fight easily. Moreover, seeing that Kong Youde's troops were frightened back by our army before the battle, the fear in the rest of the towns would be greatly reduced when facing them. All in all, this is called destroying the majesty of the Tartars and growing up the ambition! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunli couldn't help laughing.

"Order all battalions," Pang Yue called the heralds beside him: "After all the captives evacuate the north of the city, they will start to enter the city!" ”

"Yes!"

……

This morning. There was another short battle under the city of Changsha, which lasted more than yesterday, not even half an hour, but the result was very different from yesterday. After several rounds of firearms, the Qing army, which had just won yesterday, suffered heavy losses. He didn't even dare to engage in hand-to-hand combat, so he quickly retreated to the river.

After the battle. The civilian, military and military generals who watched the battle on the city tower were all dumbfounded. They really didn't expect that the Qing army, which was fierce and vicious yesterday, would be defeated so easily by Pang Yue's army today.

"Such a strong army, such a strong military might, is really unexpected!" Fu Shangrui, the governor of Piyuan, stayed for a while before recovering, and said again and again.

"Uncle Dingwu is really a good commander! Even if the slave commander Duoduo came with the main force. I'm afraid I won't be able to get much cheap! Changde Deputy General Wang Yuncai also said to the Changde Town generals around him with a surprised face. Then, his words immediately struck a chord. Commanders like them had personally fought against the Qing army yesterday and knew the strength of the Qing army, so they were even more shocked that Pang Yue had repelled the Qing army so quickly.

At this time. Liu Chengyin looked outside the city, a pair of bull's eyes were like copper bells, and he was both shocked and envious in his heart, which can be described as mixed feelings: Damn*, there are so many soldiers under Pang Yue who are not afraid of death? Even the Tartars are afraid of them. How exactly are these soldiers trained?

"Lord Duxian," Zhang Kuang's words pulled He Tengjiao out of his contemplation, "Qingyu has withdrawn to the riverside, and Ding Wubo's army is coming towards the north gate, and it seems that they are going to enter the city from here. Do you see if we ......?"

"Needless to say, I know." He Tengjiao nodded, and ordered to the left and right, "Everyone go down with me to greet the Zhu Pavilion Department and the generals." ”

……

When Kong Youde led his troops to retreat to the river, Pang Yue sent the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion to monitor it. The rest of the battalions, including Ma Jinzhong and Chen Youlong, began to enter the city from the north gate and the Xiaowu gate to the east.

On the way to the city gate, Zhu Dadian seemed to be still reminiscing about the scene just now, and said with a smile: "How rampant is Qingyu? Today, he retreated without a fight, but the old man hadn't seen such a scene for many years! Oh. It should be said that it is the first time I have seen it. Mu Yuan, you should be the first to take the lead! ”

"The superintendent has won the award," Pang Yue smiled and looked at the generals around him. excused, "This is all due to the prestige accumulated by the soldiers' hard work, and the last general will not dare to take the first credit in vain." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Dadian burst into a hearty laugh again and didn't say anything more.

When he came to the gate of the city, Pang Yue found that He Tengjiao actually led a cadre of civil and military generals out of the city, so he hurriedly dismounted and led the generals behind him to follow Zhu Dadian and walked towards He Tengjiao and others.

"Yan Lao has worked hard all the way! Teng Jiao is waiting for reinforcements, and now he has finally got his wish! He Tengjiao and the others greeted him with a smile.

"Yuncong is polite!" Zhu Dadian also greeted He Tengjiao and several local officials behind him one by one.

Subsequently, Pang Yue also came to He Tengjiao and saluted: "The last general has seen Lord Duxian!" After a few days of hard fighting, the last general still failed to block the Qing army, which is really ashamed! ”

The suspicion in He Tengjiao's eyes flashed, and then a kind smile appeared on his face, and he personally stepped forward to help Pang Yue: "Uncle Dingwu is serious!" What is your crime in fighting hard with the Qing captives for several days, destroying a large number of enemies, and returning to Changsha in time? Saying this, it makes the official feel ashamed! Let the soldiers enter the city quickly, this officer has already arranged the food and lodging of the army yesterday. ”

"Lord Duxian is humble and honest, which really makes the last general admire!" Pang Yue arched his hand again, "Then the general, on behalf of all the soldiers, thank you Lord Duxian!" ”

Looking at Pang Yue's performance, a meaningful smile suddenly flashed in Zhu Dadian's eyes.

*********

In the afternoon, as the smoke and dust from the north rolled up, Duoduo's army arrived at the city of Changsha, and then began to camp around the city. For a time, Changsha City was surrounded by various banners of the Qing army, which made the atmosphere in the city even more tense.

At the same time, Kong Youde came to the Duoduo tent to plead guiltily with his hands tied.

"Xiao Wang failed to block the Ming Dog Pang Yue's troops outside the city, and he was entrusted by Prince Yu, and asked Prince Yu to surrender!" Kong Youde knelt down in front of Duoduo, kowtowed a few times, and said sincerely.

Duoduo looked at Kong Youde, whose forehead was on the ground and the back of his head was facing the sky, a sneer appeared on his face, and after a long while, he held back his left and right, and said to Kong Youde: "King Gongshun doesn't have to blame himself, get up!" ”

"Prince Xie Yu!" Kong Youde got up a little frightened, and looked up to see Duoduo's smile, although this smile made people shudder, but this at least showed Duoduo's attitude: for the time being, he would not pursue it. Thinking of this, Kong Youde finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, not to mention that the king of Gongshun won one game first, and then he was only slightly inferior and not really defeated, so why should he be angry? Although this king sometimes has a bad temper, he is by no means a person who does not know how to clean up. Duoduo's tone sounded very reasonable, "Just now, this king was about to send someone to you to tell you about the details of the first two battles, and now that you are here, then talk about it for this king, don't miss anything!" Sit down and talk!"

"Xiao Wang obeys!" Kong Youde cautiously sat down on a low stool in front of Duoduo's side, and began to tell the story of his experience since he led his troops into Changsha yesterday afternoon.

When he heard that the Ming army that had left the city yesterday had been beaten by Kong Youde and fled back to the city in embarrassment after more than half an hour, Duoduo couldn't help but sneer with disdain at the corner of his mouth. Like Kong Youde, Lan Bai and others at that time, Duoduo despised the incompetence of the Ming army in the city, but at the same time, a sense of familiarity rose from the bottom of his heart. This is the real Ming army, weak, vain, infighting, numerical advantage can not be transformed into an advantage in combat effectiveness, the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry beat them almost like slaughtering pigs and dogs.

However, when he heard Kong Youde talk about the scene of the two armies firing each other this morning, Duoduo's face suddenly turned pale, put down the tea bowl in his hand, and stared at Kong Youde: "Ming Dog's firearms really dare to shoot at you in such a dense formation?" Just a few rounds of fire to crush your firecrackers? ”

Kong Youde observed Duoduo's face and carefully considered the words: "If Prince Hui Yu said, this is indeed the case. The Ming Dog Fire Gun soldiers didn't know where they got the courage, they lined up in a dense formation and fired at our army, allowing the fire guns under Xiao Wang's command to fight back, although many people were also knocked down, their formation was not chaotic at all. After several rounds of shooting, Xiao Wang's firecracker team suffered heavy losses and had to withdraw. ”

After finishing speaking, seeing Duoduo staring ahead with a gloomy face and being silent, Kong Youde hurriedly lowered his hem and knelt on the ground: "Xiao Wang has no way to train his troops, please also ask Prince Yu to punish him!" ”

After a long silence, Duoduo waved his hand: "Get up!" Through the battle a few days ago, this king already knew that the Ming dog Pang Yue's department was extremely difficult, and when I heard you say this today, I am afraid that the courage of his soldiers is still beyond the expectations of this king. Coupled with the fact that he has more troops than you, it would be wise for you to retreat to the river without making contact with him. The king will not blame you for this, just sit and talk. ”

"Thank you Prince Yu for your magnanimity," Kong Youde, who sat back on the low stool, bowed slightly, "Xiao Wang will definitely take this as a warning in the future, learn from the pain, and strive to make military exploits as soon as possible to wash away the shame on his body." ”

"It would be nice for the King of Obedience to think so." Duoduo nodded slightly, but his brows were still not fully relaxed, "It's just that right now, Minggou Pang Yue's department has been hiding in Changsha City. With their combat strength, although our army has Hongyi artillery, I am afraid that if we attack the city, we will also meet its stubborn resistance, and we will lose a large number of warriors as we did a few days ago. The king had been thinking about how to take the city at the lowest cost. King Gongshun has always had a unique vision, so let's talk about my opinion first. ”

Kong Youde was silent for a while, showed a hint of a smile, and said confidently: "Regarding this matter, please let Rong Xiaowang tell a story for Prince Yu first." ”

"The story? It was a pleasure to be obedient to the king. Duoduo took a sip of his tea and said quietly, "Then let's get started." Keep it short, though, or the king won't have much patience. ”

"Xiao Wang obeys!"
