419 Siege of Yueyang City
Looking at the group of embarrassed sailors running towards him, Azig's face became extremely white at this time, without a trace of blood, he couldn't figure out why the sailors, who were still good during the day, actually became like this in half a day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
For the situation of the sailor, although Azig does not understand, but he still has some understanding, you know, in this time when firearms have not yet developed, water warfare, relying on more boats, big ships, although many ships and large ships may not be able to win, but that advantage is very obvious, at least, according to Azig's understanding, with the current Ming army has a sailor, if you want to defeat the navy under Yang Dayan, not to mention that there is no chance at all, but that kind of opportunity is very slim, but this is a very slim opportunity, Now it has become a reality in front of his eyes, and everything he had thought of before has completely become a void.
More importantly, this battle is not only related to the safety of Azig and the entire Southern Expeditionary Army, but also related to the future of the entire Qing Dynasty, as well as the life and death of the entire Manchu race, but it is such an important war, and now he has completely lost, yes, he has already lost, although there are still more than 100,000 Manchu elites in Yueyang City, but more than 100,000 cavalry trapped in the narrow city walls, even in the elite, how much role can they have, this is not the most critical, the most important point is, They are now fighting alone, without reinforcements, what is the fate of being trapped in the lonely city, how could Azig not know, thinking of this, Azig suddenly felt a feeling of tightness in his chest, his brain was dizzy, and then, his eyes were dark, and he fell to the side.
In the winter of the third year of Hongguang in the Ming Dynasty, on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, when the New Year was approaching, the Ming army under the leadership of Zheng Sen, attacked the camp of the Qing army Yang Dayan at night, and defeated the Qing army, thus cutting off the support of the Qing army to the Qing army's Junshan position, and then, it has been blocked outside the Junshan Mountain, and the Ming army for several months, under the command of the commander Dong Qi, took the Junshan position in one fell swoop. At this time, it also became the world of the Ming army's water division, and after that, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Ming army crossed Dongting Lake, and more than 100,000 troops united with Li Yan's army to the south, and besieged Yueyang City to death.

"Hahaha, hahaha, good, good, it's really good, after this battle, the day when the world will be pacified is finally expected, more than 100,000 elite Qing troops are firmly surrounded in Yueyang City, this time, the day of the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not far away." When the news that the Ming army crossed Dongting Lake and surrounded Yueyang City was transmitted to Changsha City, Li Dingguo, who got the news, couldn't help but celebrate loudly in the military tent.
Hearing Li Dingguo's words, it stands to reason that the generals in the big tent should be as happy as him, but what is strange is that most of the generals present have a few strange expressions on their faces, and even a little unwilling expression, which makes people feel puzzled.
Soon, Li Dingguo discovered this situation, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Everyone, why, you seem to be a little unhappy, isn't it worth our joy that our army has won such a huge victory?" ”
After hearing Li Dingguo's words, after the many generals present glanced at each other, they heard Zeng Ying, who had the most grumpy temper, stand up, and said angrily, "General Li, the imperial army can have such a major victory, as court officials, of course, we are also very happy, but you must know that in addition to being court officials, we are also a general, you say, we are also out to fight, now the Henan army, has taken Wuchang City, has made great contributions, and the main force of the imperial court is now also victorious in a battle, It has surrounded Yueyang City, captured the thief chief Azig and exterminated more than 100,000 Tartar elites, which is also a great credit, but only we, when the three armies set off together, the other two roads have already made a contribution, just here, in addition to training every day, is to sleep, eat, not to mention fighting, even the knives and guns are rusty, you say, when will we attack this Changsha City, if we don't fight, I am afraid that after the other two armies take Yueyang City, it will be their turn to make meritorious contributions. ”
As soon as Zeng Ying's words were finished, he was unanimously approved by many generals in the camp, you know, these generals present now, one by one, are not easy to match, and those Anle generals of the Ming army, just want to have fun, as soon as they encounter a war, they will run away immediately is not the same, at the beginning, in the land of Sichuan, in the face of the powerful Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army that swept Sichuan, they also resisted stubbornly, not to mention, now they are going to attack the Manchu Tartars in their eyes, originally, when they went out of Sichuan, One by one, their hearts are full of energy, and they want to fight a few battles well, so as to show the demeanor of the men in Sichuan, but now it's good, it's been a long time, except for the fact that they don't even have a little friction except for the defenders on Changsha City under this Changsha City, in this case, how can you make their hearts settle down.
Hearing Zeng Ying's words, seeing the sympathetic expressions on everyone's faces, Li Dingguo's face couldn't help but leak an embarrassed look, to be honest, for the Ming army and the defenders in Changsha City, especially between Hong Chengchou, Li Dingguo is well aware, when Shi Lei arranged this task, Li Dingguo also thought of the idea of the generals under his command, but after some persuasion from Shi Lei, he also agreed, after all, now the Sichuan army under Li Dingguo's command, Whether it is compared with the army led by Shi Lei or the Henan army led by Li Yan, the combat effectiveness is somewhat weak, so this is also the reason why Shi Lei and others handed over the easy task of coming to Changsha City to the Sichuan army.
Although he accepted this task, Li Dingguo originally thought in his heart that if he waited for Shi Lei or Li Yan to encounter difficulties, he would send troops to help, after all, their opponent was not a rabble, but the elite of the Manchu Eight Banners who were famous in the world, but what Li Dingguo did not expect was that things would develop so smoothly, first Wuchang City was easily taken down by Li Yan, and then, the powerful Manchu Qingshui Army was also defeated by the Ming Army, and now, the once fierce Manchu Eight Banners Army will be defeated, more than 100,000 people were trapped in Yueyang City, and thinking about it made Li Dingguo feel a little incredible.
But even if it feels incredible, it is the case, so that Li Dingguo has to face the reality.
"Well, that, General Ben knows everyone's thoughts, to be honest, compared to you, General Ben is also eager to fight with the enemy immediately, but the military order is like a mountain, before we get Lord Shi's order, we have to continue to wait like this, of course, everyone can rest assured, General Ben believes that we will have a war soon, just hope that when the time comes, you don't complain." Half a day later, Li Dingguo could only pinch his nose and comfort everyone.
After Azig fainted, he woke up the next day, although he vomited a mouthful of blood, but at this time it was him, but he felt extremely clear in his mind, unparalleled ease, and then, he ignored everyone's opposition, and walked quickly to the head of Yueyang City, when he saw the endless Ming army camp outside the city, there was no expression on his face, and there was no feeling of discomfort, which made his subordinates who were worried on the side, relieved.
"Let's talk about it, what should we do now, now that Wuchang City is lost, our contact with the imperial court has been severed, besides, even if we can contact the imperial court, the imperial court will not have reinforcements to come, so, the current predicament, we can only rely on ourselves, if we break through, then the sky is high and let the birds fly, but if we can't create it, this Yueyang City is the place where you and I are buried, so, now everyone talk about their thoughts, no matter what way, as long as we can avoid this catastrophe, The king's generals will definitely be rewarded. After looking at the boundless Ming army position under the city, Azig suddenly turned his head and said to the people who were following him.
Hearing Azig's sudden words, everyone present was stunned at first, but immediately they all bowed their heads, you know, up to now, in fact, there are not many roads to choose from, one is to stay and defend, and the other is to find a way to break out of the encirclement, but these two methods, no matter which one, are extremely dangerous situations.
If you defend it, don't say more, your subordinates, although Yueyang City belongs to the land of lakes and lakes, the land of fish and rice, but the food stored in the city is not enough for more than 100,000 troops to eat and drink, besides, even if there is enough food, they can face hundreds of thousands of elite Ming army siege city, and how long can they hold out, the Eight Banners Army on the horse is a tiger, but the Eight Banners Army that got off the horse is not much stronger than a Shiba dog, therefore, if they choose to defend to the death, then they have only a dead end, And that's what no one wants to see.
Since it can't be defended, then there is only a way to get out of the encirclement and escape, but this is also an extremely difficult thing, not to mention how many people can rush out in the face of the heavy encirclement of the Ming army, let's just say that the terrain of Yueyang City, full of water networks, for the cavalry, it is simply a difficult road, if a bad operation, I am afraid they will be surrounded by the Ming army outside the city, when the time comes, I am afraid that they will die faster.
Of course, in addition to these two points, there is a third way, that is, disarm and surrender, of course, people who think this kind of thing are some Han generals, for them, whether it is to take refuge in the Manchu Qing or the Ming court, it is just for their own interests, now that the Manchu Qing is about to fail, it is understandable that they surrendered to the Ming army, but this idea just came out in the hearts of these people, and they were quickly extinguished, they are sure that as long as they dare to say this idea, they don't even need to say it, As long as there is such a thought, I am afraid that those extreme Manchu generals will draw their knives and cut them down.
Looking at the many subordinates in front of him who lowered their heads and said nothing, Azig's heart was full of sadness, the endless Ming army outside the city, of course, made him feel embarrassed, but it was just embarrassing, he had experienced too many battles in his life, this kind of disadvantaged situation, and he had encountered a lot, but in the end, he was able to turn danger into a disaster, and even be able to turn defeat into victory, what really made him sad was that the reaction of these generals under him, especially the reaction of those Manchu generals.
These Manchu generals no longer have the kind of dominance they once had, bravely moving forward, no matter what they encounter, they can be arrogant with a saber to kill the morale of the past, now they are like a group of soulless living dead, with these people, not to mention turning danger into victory, Azig dares to guarantee that it will not be long before this Yueyang City will be broken by the Ming army.
He really couldn't understand how long it had been, why the invincible Manchu Eight Banners Army in the world, who was originally not afraid of heaven and earth, was not satisfied with ten thousand, The invincible army of the Eight Banners has become such a rabble that can't withstand the blow, Azig really doesn't understand, although he wants to understand it very much, but he knows that he will never be unable to figure it out, now he only hopes that with the more than 100,000 soldiers in the city, he can attract all the Ming troops outside Yueyang City, so as to create an opportunity for Duoduo to attack Xi'an City, as long as Duoduo can successfully take Xi'an City, at that time, even if he and these soldiers in the city all die, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death, at least, the Manchu Qing at that time will not become weak because of the death of his Azig and more than 100,000 troops, so that he was driven out by the Ming army.
Although Azig doesn't like to read, he likes to listen to stories, for the past dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty to deal with the surrounding foreign races, he has also heard of it, therefore, he does not want the Manchu Qing to become like the Xiongnu in history, Khitan, this kind of nation, although it left a glorious page in the history books, but in the end, there is nothing left except a name, if it really becomes like that, Azig said that the entire Manchu Qing and Manchu sinners, even if he goes to the underworld, the ancestors of the Manchus will not spare him.
After Azig figured out this, he turned around and left the city, walking towards the residence in the city, leaving a group of puzzled generals at a loss for what to do in the city, of course, not all the generals were at a loss, some people with a heart were looking at the camp of the Ming army outside the city at this time, while their eyes kept turning, making their own calculations. The battle of Yueyang City has not yet begun, as if it has already had a result.
