Xu Yifan and Qin Mufeng watched the battlefield from afar, and the tragic scene couldn't shake their determination to take Shunde Mansion at all, casualties? Which big war has no casualties? As long as it is a battle, people will die, relatively speaking, the casualties caused by the onslaught on Shunde Mansion to the Ming army are not greater than the casualties caused by other battles, after all, nearly 100 artillery pieces were mobilized, and there were tens of thousands of musketeers, such a strong firepower was enough to form an absolute suppression of the Qing army, and the casualties of the Qing army were even higher than the casualties of the Ming army.

"Mu Feng, herald, let's make a temporary truce, our army is fighting day after day, and it is also very tired, there is no need to fight hard as soon as we come up, we can afford it!"

Xu Yifan said in a deep voice.

Qin Mufeng nodded hurriedly and gave the order for a truce.

Before the army had all withdrawn from the city, a fast horse galloped lightning from the northeast to Xu Yifan and Qin Mufeng!

"Report! Emergency military intelligence! ”

A scout jumped off his horse in a sweat and shouted.

"Speak!"

Xu Yifan shouted.

"Lord Qiyu Governor, the main force of the Manchurian Tartars has arrived under the city of Zhendingfu under the leadership of Duoduo, and at the same time, a large number of Mongolian cavalry have also appeared in the north of Zhendingfu, forming a flanking situation on Zhendingfu, early this morning, the Manchurian cavalry and Mongolian cavalry launched an attack on Zhendingfu at the same time, and the battle was fierce!"

What the!

Xu Yifan and Qin Mufeng were taken aback, Duoduo attacked Zhending Mansion, in their expectations, although Duoduo had strong troops and strong cavalry under his command, it was not so easy to defeat the army of Sun Chuanting and Li Dingguo Gaojie, after all, Sun Chuanting had the strength of the three towns, even if it was a continuous battle in Zhending Mansion and the city wall was destroyed, Sun Chuanting could still hold out for at least a month.

But the arrival of the Mongolian cavalry was unexpected by Xu Yifan, and as for Qin Mufeng, he didn't expect that the Mongols would insert a lever at this critical moment!

"Damn Mongolian Tartars, do they really not want to live!"

Qin Mufeng roared.

"Mu Feng, don't be impatient!"

Xu Yifan shouted.

Qin Mufeng said hatefully: "Big brother, you are sitting firmly, the Mongolian cavalry and the Manchurian elite cavalry attacked Zhending Mansion at the same time, Inspector Sun is suffering from the enemy on his back, just the tattered appearance of Zhending Mansion, there is no difference between the city wall and not, when I fought Zhending Mansion in blood, the city wall has been destroyed, and now after a month of siege by Inspector Sun, the city defense of Zhending Mansion is basically useless now, how can it be stopped?" No, we must speed up the pace of attacking Shunde Mansion, attack the city overnight, and prepare to rush to the aid of Zhending Mansion! ”

Xu Yifan shook his head and replied, "Mu Feng, calm down, calm down!" Even if the Mongolian cavalry and the Manchurian cavalry besiege Zhending Mansion, Sun Governor has an army of 50,000 or 60,000 under his command, and there are sufficient artillery and muskets, and the combat power is not bad, at least within ten days and half a month, there will be no great danger, if we besiege day and night and forcibly take Zhending Mansion, our casualties will rise sharply, which is very unwise! ”

"What then? You just watched Inspector Sun being besieged? That old man is very nice! ”

Xu Yifan took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice: "Calm down!" If we don't rush to the aid of Zhendingfu, will there be no way? Now that Jiaxing's army has crossed the canal, what are you still anxious about? ”

Qin Mufeng woke up suddenly, too, if he doesn't do anything with Yifan, isn't there still a good trip? His troops are also in the tens of thousands!

Xu Yifan shouted in a deep voice: "Come on, immediately send a fast horse to Song Jiaxing and give an order, ordering him to mobilize the Tianwei Army and the Jingying Army under his command, immediately go north, go straight to Zhending Mansion, station the troops in the area of Jinzhou, block the route of the Qing army's eastward escape, and the cavalry will go to the downstream of Zhending Mansion to contain the siege of Zhending Mansion by the Manchurian Eight Banners, and wait for the arrival of the main force of the Tianwei Army!" “

One of the scouts said yes and ran down in a northeasterly direction.

Xu Yifan looked at Qin Mufeng and said: "Mufeng, you are good at everything, but your temper is too impatient, if you don't change it, it will be easy to suffer a big loss when you encounter a strong enemy on the battlefield in the future, and there will be calm in every major event, this is what the emperor taught us!" ”

Qin Mufeng scratched his head and said with a smile: "Brother, isn't there still you?" With you, Lao Tzu is too lazy to use his brain, anyway, no matter how fast his brain turns, it is not as bright as your brain......"

Xu Yifan shook his head helplessly, and replied: "Okay, you go down and prepare for the vigilance of the army, it's getting late, Ao Bai and Wu Sangui are both famous generals, experienced in a hundred battles, we have to be careful against them, if we are not careful, let them stab us in the middle of the night, then there is no place to regret it!" ”

"Yes, big brother."

Xu Yifan continued: "Also, the order is to make adjustments to the artillery, concentrate all six artillery battalions in the eastern part of the southern city of Shunde Mansion, and arrange all the artillery into three rows, with thirty guns in each row, and tomorrow I will concentrate all the artillery and storm Shunde Mansion a little, and make a gap in the city wall of Shunde Mansion!" ”

Qin Mufeng laughed and said: "Big brother, that's right, we have nearly a hundred artillery pieces, focusing on attacking one place in Shunde Mansion, even if their city wall is cast of steel and iron, it will definitely not be able to withstand the onslaught of our artillery battalion!" Grandma, tomorrow, we will feed the Manchurian tartars a good meal of rice balls! ”

Glutinous rice balls? Where in the world is there such a hard glutinous rice ball? After a pot of rice balls, I am afraid that Shunde Mansion will really be smashed into a broken wall.

Qin Mufeng sent cavalry to cruise back and forth on the Ming army camp to protect his position, while the artillery battalion moved overnight to adjust its deployment.

In the city of Shunde Mansion, Ao Bai sat with Ni Kan and Wu Sangui, the three of them were all heavy-faced, just one day of attack, just one day of attack, the Qing army paid the price of thousands of casualties, this is still because they are defending the city with all their might, this is only one day, next, once the city wall is more and more damaged, causing a large area of collapse, when the time comes, the casualties of the Qing army will continue to increase, a large increase, the muskets of the Ming infantry are not vegetarian, extremely powerful, Far superior to the bows and arrows of the Manchurian cavalry!

"Lord Aobai, why don't we go out of the city overnight and raid the Ming camp in the second half of the night to get them in one go?"

Wu Sangui hesitated for a moment and asked.

"What a good idea!"

Nikan shouted, "yes, a sneak attack in the middle of the night, that's a good idea!" ”

"What a fart!"

Ao Bai shouted angrily: "This trick has been used a long time ago, don't you look at who is leading the army in the Ming army?" Xu Yifan, the most cunning general under Zhu Jie, when he was in the Daimyo's Mansion, Lao Tzu raided Xu Yifan, but he was put on a beating, and he almost lost his life, and now the Ming army has gathered tens of thousands of people with cavalry alone, with a large number of muskets, and you still go to sneak attack? Once surrounded, it is a dead end! If you want to die, you can go by yourself, don't bother me! ”
