The commander of the Chinese army, Daxu, was once again defeated, and the siege of the city was in vain, not to mention the losses outside the city, but the 700 people who attacked the city were the troops of the two Niulu, which made Dolgon's heart ache. After the war, the Red Flag and the Two White Flags lost more than 1,500 troops, and the morale of the army was frustrated. Now there is some noise in the camp of the Ming army, and the soldiers and generals are like frightened birds, the wind is loud and frightened.

A series of blows caused the arrogant Dolgon to spit out two mouthfuls of blood in a row, and he was in a coma for a whole day and a night. The nobles of the Eight Banners suddenly lost their backbone, and the siege of the city was temporarily put on hold. In desperation, everyone had to elect Doro Rao Yu Bel Abatai to temporarily preside over the overall situation.

In fact, according to the lord's official position, it is never Abatai's turn to take charge of the overall situation. The strength and status of either of the two Great Brother Haug and Duoduo far surpassed Abatai. However, Dorgor was also injured during the siege of the city and can only recuperate at present, while Hauge deliberately picks on his son and sincerely watches the jokes of the Dorgon brothers. Besides, he was unwilling to accept this mess, so he did not show up under the pretext of illness, and handed over the affairs of the yellow flag to Aobai to manage, and since then he has not been able to settle the account.

Although Abatai's official position is not high and the military power in his hands is weak, he is the seventh son of the old slave chief Nurhachi, and he is a concubine, so he has not been reused by the emperor. Although he was rude and upright, he was a good hand in military affairs. His sons Bo and Bo Luo were all rising stars in the Manchu army, brave and good at fighting, and even the youngest son Yue Le is now skilled in arching and horses, and is even appreciated by Huang Taiji and Dolgon.

Huang Taiji hated Abatai very much, which was obvious to all outside the gate, but Dolgon was extremely courted by Abatai, so when Dolgon fell into a coma, Man Dahai, Qi Chongge, Dorobelenikan and others quickly elected Abatai to take charge of the position temporarily. Hauge and the others did not oppose it because they planned to stay out of the matter, but their faction once again proposed a plan to withdraw their troops and march eastward to join forces with Yue Tuo.

Abatai's attitude on this point is unusually resolute. After two large-scale attacks, seeing that it was impossible for the giant deer to descend overnight, it was no longer the safest choice to withdraw and move eastward. Before, the Ming court ordered Shandong soldiers and horses to enter the Weijing Division, Shandong General Liu Zeqing, Shandong Governor Yan Jizu led the troops to be stationed in the first line of Dezhou, and then stationed in Guangzong, Hebei, with the army and a large number of grain and grass, ready to support Lu Xiangsheng at any time, but because of the small number of soldiers, the Qing army was divided into four ways to attack, so it had to be trapped in Guangzong, echoing Lu Xiangsheng's Xuanda Army.

After Yue Tuo invaded Shandong, Liu Zeqing didn't even say hello, so he withdrew to Shandong, but he never dared to fight with Yue Tuo, just Mingzhe to protect himself. And Yan Jizu had to lead 5,000 soldiers to defend Guangzong alone, and these days, he has transported grain to Julu through the Zhanghe River. It advantageously supported the battle of the Xuanda Army.

Abatai's strategy was to send elite cavalry to uproot the Ming strongholds around Julu one by one, isolate Lu Xiangsheng's troops, and cut off their communication with the outside world, especially to uproot Guangzong, a place where grain was stored.

After four days of bloody battles, Guangzong fell, Yan Jizu led a small number of troops to break through, and when he went out of the city, a fire ignited the grain in the city. The Qing army quickly entered the city, and finally saved some food and relieved the urgent need for a while.

Gao Qiqian's Guanning army was still cowering in Jize, and Abatai sent Nikan to lead 3,000 light cavalry to cruise around it, so that Gao Qiqian's 50,000 army trembled and did not dare to come out lightly.

"Brother Seven's move is a way to seek the country, and it is very safe!" Dolgon, who was sick, was still languishing, and his face was frighteningly pale.

"Lu Xiangsheng has always been a big problem for us, if his soldiers and horses are limited, it is not enough to be a problem, but now he has an army of 30,000 capable soldiers, and he also has extremely sharp firearms. Once our army goes north, he will pursue in the rear, and if the Guanning army makes another move, our army will be in great danger! Dolgon said this slowly, just to tell the generals in the tent, not that he didn't want to go east, but if he didn't get rid of Lu Xiangsheng, the Qing army would not be able to move eastward with peace of mind.

After saying this, Abatai and his two sons Bo Hexuan, Bo Luo and Qi Chongge all nodded frequently. Abatai because of the identity of the concubine, repeatedly squeezed out by Huang Taiji, the dignified Nuer is delicious seventh son, so many years even did not get the title of a county king, seeing the young brothers one by one king, his heart is really not a taste, and because of the matter of the inner house, Huang Taiji scolded and punished several times. Therefore, he involuntarily moved closer to Dolgon, and his sons were close to the Dolgon brothers, but they got along very well.

"As soon as Guangzong has a gram, Julu will have no foreign aid, and then our army can attack it again." Abatai said.

Dorgon nodded, "Be sure to focus on the attack." Before, this king mistakenly thought that Julu City was a weakness, but he didn't want to be used by Lu Xiangsheng. The firearms of Zhu Ping'an's headquarters in the south of the city are powerful, so the seventh brother might as well start from the north of the city, storm Yang Guozhu's camp, and take the Ming army camp in the north of the city and then make plans! ”

"Huh!" In the big tent, only Abatai sat upright and bowed, and the rest of the people stood and bowed.

"Rather finish me!" Suddenly Dorgon called Dorning my name.

After a few days, I lost a lot of weight, spread my legs, and walked forward with a twist, my face full of resentment and grievances. Qi Chongge and the other nobles suddenly became unnatural, coughed lightly twice, and then moved a few steps to the side without a trace.

"Ahem, ahem!" Dorgon didn't know how to comfort the best of the Han officials. In the battle of the same day, the Ming army's poison gas bomb hit the Chinese army's big tent, and Dolgon was fortunate to be rescued by the guards and rolled down the hillside, without the way of poison gas. But the aristocrats in the camp were all poisoned, and one of his personalities changed greatly, and he actually "ruined" Ning Wan, who was spared. After the incident, everyone who came to their senses scolded the Ming army for being vicious, but no one was willing to pay attention to the ravaged and dying Ning Wan.

For several days, I couldn't even get out of bed, but its "bad luck" instantly spread throughout the entire camp, whether it was the Qing soldiers or the Han army banner soldiers, they all sneered, I didn't expect that the nobles still had the habit of Longyang, and even Ning Wan and me, the old guy, didn't let go.

"Forget about the past, all of you Baylor, Auxiliary Generals, etc., are all poisoned by the poisonous smoke of Ming Dog. The king has decreed that this matter should be kept strictly secret and not spread out, and if anyone comes to you for trouble, you can directly report to the king to make decisions for you! ”

"Slave thank the prince for his maintenance!" Ning Wan knelt down with difficulty and kowtowed.

"You don't care about anything from now on, and immediately go and find out the news of Zhu Ping'an, the commander of the Ming army's southern battalion. His origin, experience, and connections must be clearly known to this king. This king is very strange, how did such a little-known petty official know about the ...... of our Great Qing Dynasty, cough, so many things about our Great Qing Dynasty! Be sure to be detailed, the more detailed the better! ”

"The minions must do their best!" Ning Wan finally couldn't control it, and exchanged tears, "The slave must find out the news of Zhu Ping'an's dog thief and present it to the prince." Lord, forgive the slave for saying bluntly, this dog thief has such a vicious mind, and in the long run, it must be a problem for my henchmen of the Qing Dynasty, and the slave thinks that he should send someone to assassinate him quickly, or order the Fan family to use the power in the Ming court to demote him to get rid of future troubles! ”

Dolgon thought for a while, "Don't do it for the time being, this king is very interested in this Zhu Ping'an, in addition, who else is behind him, and whether he has any foundation in the Ming court, these inquiries are clear, and then make plans!" ”

"Whew, the minion takes orders!"

……

After a few days of rest and recuperation in the Ming army camp, the soldiers have gradually recovered their spirits. When the news of the fall of Guangzong came, the camp that was originally jubilant and full of morale instantly fell again. Now, Guangzong is the only stronghold that can support Julu, Yan Jizu, as the governor of Shandong, fought thousands of miles, and resolutely carried out the initial order issued by the Ministry of War, transporting the grain and grass of Shandong to the Xuanda army, even if Yang Sichang later changed his mind and decided to isolate Lu Xiangsheng, and personally issued the order to stop transporting grain to Yan Jizu himself, Yan Jizu was unmoved.

Liu Zeqing's unauthorized withdrawal of troops may be the same trick as Wang Pu. After Liu Zeqing retreated, Guangzong's troops were empty and could no longer resist the attack of the Qing army, and after holding out for several days, he fell, and Yan Jizu broke through.

The Qing army has basically completed the encirclement of Julu. Yao Dongzhao's Sanfu People's Army could no longer penetrate in, so they could only support Lu Xiangsheng on the periphery.

All that remains is to see how much time it will take for both sides to complete this battle.

Because of Lu Xiangsheng's strategy, Julu finally fell without Dolgon's "Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword, intended for Pei Gong". The seven hundred Tartars who broke into the city were also completely annihilated, but the combat power of the white-armored elite soldiers was indeed amazing, even if the battle was to the end, no one abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and the team of seven hundred people was stunned to hold on for half an hour, and finally the whole army was annihilated, Rao is so, with the help of firearms, the Ming army also paid 500 casualties.

"How many days has Bo Xiang been gone?" Lu Xiangsheng stood at the head of the city, looked in the direction of Jingshi, and asked Zhu Ping'an and the others beside him.

"Governor, Lord Yang has been gone for eight days!" Zhu Ping'an replied.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the Qing army camp that was transported out, and his face was full of worry. The Tartars did not attack the city for several days, but they were attacking everywhere, looting grain and grass on the one hand, and uprooting the fortresses and villages around the giant deer on the other, further reducing the scope of the Ming army's activities. The Qing army in the camp was rushing to make siege equipment day and night, and it seemed that the next major battle was imminent.

"Has the messenger who went to Jizawa returned?"

Zhu Ping'an, Hu Dawei and the others looked at each other, "I'm back, it's just ......!" ”

"Gao Qiqian still refuses to send troops, does he?"

The crowd was silent.

Zhu Ping'an thought for a while, and explained: "Commander, relax your mind, Lord Yang is going to Jingshi, there will be good news in the near future, we have planned so much in Beijing, isn't it just for this last full blow?" “R1152
