Duoduo did not try to attack Yangzhou City again, since the Ming army was already retreating, there were countless opportunities to defeat this Ming army, leaving the strong city defense of Yangzhou, the combat power of the Ming army was not worth mentioning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, Duoduo did not forget that he was attacked by the Ming army in the city twice and lost more than 3,000 Eight Banner soldiers, but through this month's offensive and defensive battles, he had already figured out the power of the Ming army in Yangzhou City. The most combat-effective is the subordinate of Hou Ren Siqi, with a total strength of more than 10,000 people, and he has also suffered a lot of losses in previous battles, especially in the battle where the artillery bombarded the gap in the city wall and the Eight Banners warriors invaded Yangzhou.

According to the reports of the withdrawn subordinate soldiers, the elite Ming army infantry killed was about four or five thousand people, so the current strength of the Daishan army should be less than 10,000 people. And through the last battle, Duoduo also has an understanding of the combat power of the Daishan army, if you talk about combat effectiveness, the Daishan army is above the general Ming army, but it still can't be compared with the invincible Eight Banners full army.

Duoduo believed that if they fought in formation, the 3,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners would be enough to defeat the 10,000-strong Daishan Army infantry, and even slaughter them all! Now that they had chosen to leave the fortified city, it would be far better to pursue them as they retreated than to storm the fortified city.

And now Duoduo had more important things to do, that is, to cross the Yangtze River with his army and join the Azig army in Nanjing. It has been delayed for too long under the city of Yangzhou, and if the Yangtze River is not crossed, the great work of extinguishing the Ming Dynasty may all fall on the head of Azig.

Now Duoduo is waiting for the Daishan army to withdraw from Yangzhou, as long as Yangzhou is in hand, plus the capture of Shi Kefa, the governor of Jiangbei in the Ming Dynasty, and the surrender of more than 200,000 Ming troops in the four towns of Jiangbei, it can be regarded as a big victory, and Duoduo can also be regarded as an explanation to the regent Dorgon.

Although he sent the commander of the escort army, Tulai and Gushan Beleashan, to cross the canal with 3,000 Zhenman soldiers and more than 20,000 green battalion soldiers to chase and kill, Duoduo thought about it and felt a little uneasy, mainly because the Daishan army was too weird.

So Duoduo personally wrote a letter, ordering the Gushan Ezhen Zhun Tower, which had arrived in Xuzhou, to quickly lead his troops south, attack Liu Zeqing in Huai'an, and then send troops from Huai'an to cut off the retreat of this retreating Ming army!

In fact, the battle of the Qing army was not two but three roads, in addition to Duoduo and Azi, there was also a way to send troops from Shandong to Gushan Ezhen Tower. He set out from Shandong with a detachment of more than 5,000 Eight Banner soldiers, and directly attacked Liu Zeqing's troops in Huai'an through Xuzhou, with the goal of occupying a huge area east of the canal.

Now with the attack on both sides of Zhun Tower and Tulai, Duoduo believed that the Daishan army, which carried hundreds of thousands of people, would definitely not be able to please him.

The retreat of the Ming army and the people in Yangzhou City is underway, since the strategy of the attack has been arranged, Duoduo's eyes are no longer on Yangzhou, what he is interested in now is that the captured Ming Jiangbei Governor Shi Kefa has been escorted to the camp!

Scofa was a short, dark and thin man, who had not fully recovered from his injuries since the fatal arrow wound, and when he was brought to Dord, his complexion was extremely bad, his lips were chapped and white, and his face was haggard.

"This king has heard the name of the history inspector for a long time, and he has to meet today." Duoduo said triumphantly to Scofa with the tone of a victor.

Shi Kefa raised his weak head and glanced at Duoduo, at this moment he was no longer in the mood or strength to say anything.

"Some time ago, this king had a letter to the superintendent, asking the superintendent to follow the general trend and return to my Qing Dynasty, but it was rejected at that time, I don't know what the superintendent is thinking about now?"

Duoduo looked at Shi Kefa with hopeful eyes, he knew that Shi Kefa's status in the hearts of the officials and people of the Southern Ming Dynasty was very high, if Shi Kefa could return to the Qing Dynasty and use Shi Kefa's fame, he would definitely be able to recruit a large number of Ming officials and people. The number of Manchus is too small, and if the Ming Dynasty wants to occupy such a vast area, it is not enough to rely on the strength of the Manchus, which has formed a consensus among the Manchu nobles.

"Ben Du is born as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and death is the ghost of the Ming Dynasty, you don't have to say much, but ask for a dead ear!" Shi Kefa's voice was weak and weak, but his tone was unusually firm.

"Why should the superintendent be like this, in my Qing Dynasty, I attach importance to the integration of Manchu, Han and Mongolia, and I will also reuse the Ming ministers who serve my Qing Dynasty, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, is a precedent." Dodor persuaded.

"Those who are like Hong Chengchou will inevitably be infamous through the ages after death. Although Kefa is incompetent, he can't serve the court and the people, and he can't save the people from hanging upside down, but he will never surrender to the Tartars, and he will be infamous for being disloyal and unrighteous through the ages! After Shi Kefa finished speaking, he immediately closed his eyes and said nothing, still relying on Duoduo's persuasion and no longer paying attention.

"Well, since you beg for death, I will fulfill you!" Duoduo sighed and ordered his subordinates to pull Shi Kefa out and behead him, and pass it on to the city of Yangzhou. Now the Qing Dynasty has the tendency to sweep the world, and more and more Ming Dynasty civil and military forces will surrender, and Duoduo does not care too much about Shi Kefa's insistence on not surrendering.

"Ming Jiangbei Governor Shi Kefa has awarded the head!"

"Ming Jiangbei Governor Shi Kefa has awarded the head!"

More than a dozen green battalion soldiers galloped around the city wall of Yangzhou, and one of them held a head high in his hand.

"That's the head of Master Shi!"

"Inspector Shi has been killed!"

The Ming army at the head of Yangzhou City was in an uproar, although Shi Kefa was seriously injured later and could not be a director, but the Ming Dynasty was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with the concept of literature and martial arts, and the official position of the university scholar and Jiangbei Governor was too loud, and it can be said that he has always been the biggest person in Yangzhou.

Now that Shi Kefa has been killed, the shock to the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou is not small!

"Kill them! Avenge the Overseer! Liu Zhaoji shouted viciously with red eyes, and countless artillery and rockets flew towards the group of cavalry galloping under the city, but most of them fell behind the cavalry horses. Although he chose to belong to the Daishan Army, Shi Kefa's status in Liu Zhaoji's heart is still lofty.

Hearing the news of Shi Kefa's death, Ren Siqi, who was urging the people to retreat, was stunned.

"Inspector!" The two Yan Ermei, who had already crossed the canal, wept bitterly when they heard the news of Shi Kefa's death.

On a low hill called Meiling in the east of the canal, Yan Ermei took a few former governors and shogunate people who chose to stay, and erected a well-dressed mound for Shi Kefa.

A pinch of loess, a stone tablet, on which are written two lines of large characters with ink.

"Count the tears of plum blossoms; Two points of the moon and the heart of the minister. ”

A few incense sticks were lit, and Yan Ermei led the crowd to pay tribute to their overseer, Shi Kefa.

Li Yanzhi took a few people to watch from a distance, and his eyes were equally complicated.

As far as the eye could see, hundreds of boats were coming and going on the canal, sending groups of people across the canal. To the east of the canal, countless people are sadly dragging their families and mouths towards the unknowable future! (To be continued.) )
