Chapter 161: A Warden in Jiangnan
This was already the fourth day of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui, Zuo Liangyu and others' coalition forces attacking the city of Beijing.
By now, Yan Yingyuan's amazing ability had been seen. This person is not a general at all, and he has never led soldiers to fight before, at most he has led officials to fight pirates.
However, the city defense that really began to command the city of Beijing was quite eye-catching.
Obviously, the soldiers in the capital are far inferior to the soldiers at the border passes, they have not fought many battles, and their training in peacetime is not very good. But Yan Yingyuan stubbornly relied on his amazing ability to block wave after wave of attacks by the coalition forces.
You know, the coalition army is a full 280,000.
This made He Xuan quite relaxed.
Every day, all you have to do is stand on top of the city and shoot arrows.
Shooting one or two thousand enemies a day is not too much, but it is not too little.
This made He Xuan a little idle.
However, it is better to be idle.
Save some energy to defend the city for five days, and then use the invincible weapon to defeat your opponent in one fell swoop.
And the Manchu coalition army, after the end of the fourth day of siege.
All the high-level executives gathered together again.
The Manchu Qing duoduo, daishan, and hauge attended the meeting.
Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu also attended the meeting.
Several people from the Mongol tribes also participated in the meeting, and one was sent to the Eight Banners to attend the meeting.
In addition, there are also some famous military advisors such as Ning Wan and me, Hong Chengchou
Duoduo, the prince of Yu of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, looked quite unsightly: "Everyone has been attacking the city for four days, what do you think of the defense of Beijing City now?"
"Solid. Wu Sangui also said with a somewhat ugly face: "No matter which angle we find to attack, their guards can react immediately, deploy troops, and let us have nothing to do." ”
"Who is this defender of the city?" Prince Su Haoge also said angrily: "At the beginning, I heard from you that no one in the entire Manchu Dynasty was willing to help He Xuan, so He Xuan found a warden from Jiangnan. Didn't you say at the beginning that the warden was a ninth-rate petty official, who usually led a servant and caught a thief or something? This warden didn't know how to fight at all, so how could he be so difficult? ”
"You officials in the southern Ming Dynasty are all military geniuses?"
Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu were also confused.
You know, they're a full army of 280,000.
Among the 280,000 troops, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was definitely the top army in the world, elite soldiers.
Wu Sangui is the Guanning Iron Cavalry, known as the first elite soldier of the Ming Dynasty.
Zuo Liangyu's soldiers, although not as famous as Guan Ning's iron cavalry. But he also relied on this elite army to beat Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to flee from all over the world. After hearing the news of He Xuan's defeat of Li Zicheng, Zuo Liangyu felt that it was useless to rely on more soldiers alone, and he had to be a crack soldier.
Therefore, he reduced his 200,000 army to 50,000 troops, and it can be said that these 50,000 troops are definitely elite troops.
There are more than 30,000 troops in the Mongolian tribes, and it goes without saying that the Mongolian Han is naturally brave, and the Mongolian army is definitely not a weak brigade, if not the top.
There is only Chaobaqi, which is a real weak army, and can only be used as cannon fodder.
But there are more than 200,000 elite soldiers.
In fact, the soldiers in Beijing rarely fight in peacetime, and training is just like that, and they rarely train. Compared with the Ming border army, it is much worse. If you want to talk about it, the soldiers of Beijing City can only be regarded as the third-rate army in the world at most, and it may be the fourth-rate army.
Compared to the besieging army, it is far from in terms of elite.
And this is called Yan Yingyuan, a warden who was not famous at all before, and commanded such an army and defended the city of Beijing as impregnable. Then this Yan Yingyuan is definitely a military genius.
His ability is definitely not below Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou, or even above Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou.
"Is there any mistake, He Xuan went from Jiangnan and casually brought back a warden who had no fame at all before, and he had such a high level? He Xuan still has a natural divine eye? Can you see that a person will not be able to lead troops?" Prince Yu Duoduo said very frustratedly.
And his words actually spoke the hearts of many people present.
Many of the people present had already fought Yan Yingyuan in the four days of siege warfare.
I know that Yan Yingyuan is terrible.
In the middle of the field, there was silence for a while.
"Actually, although this person is powerful, our army's military strength has the absolute upper hand, and with more time, we can still capture Beijing City. I said.
"But the problem is that He Xuan shot and killed one or two thousand of our army in one day, and in a month, he could shoot and kill forty or fifty thousand of our army. Although we have more than 200,000 people, we can really afford to consume it. Prince Yu Duoduo frowned and said.
Four days ago, they were still thinking excitedly, easily breaking through Beijing City and killing He Xuan.
As a result, four days later, it was found that it was quite difficult to break through the city of Beijing.
At this point, we should probably have a mole plan. "Ning Wan I gently shook the feather fan, it turned out that Fan Wencheng liked to shake the feather fan, but Fan Wencheng died in He Xuan's hands, and then Ning Wan fell in love with this set: "Many ministers of the Ming Dynasty were against He Xuan, so they repaired the book to us." These people are almost all over the Ming court. ”
"Their power, quite strong. ”
"As long as they can cooperate with us, cause a certain amount of damage in Beijing City, and even open the city gates, won't our coalition forces be able to easily break through Beijing City?"
"That's a good plan. The Manchu Qing Li Prince Dai Shan, the old fox, couldn't help but nodded: "Good plan." ”
"It's a good plan, it should work. Prince Yu Duoduo also nodded in approval.
Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu thought about it, this strategy is really good, once it succeeds, then it will only be easy to capture Beijing City.
As a result, many people rekindled their confidence and believed that He Xuan could be killed.
......
He Xuan was resting after shooting a round of arrows, and suddenly, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei made Fang Qi and walked to He Xuan's side.
Fang Qi now admires He Xuan and He Shenjiang incomparably. He Shenjiang recruited Yan Yingyuan at the beginning, praising him as the first person in the Ming Dynasty, and when he handed over the city defense of Beijing to Yan Yingyuan, Fang Qi thought that He Shen would be crazy.
Yan Yingyuan is just a mere pawn.
After these four days of defensive battles, Fang Qi understood that He Shen was not crazy.
He Shenjiang's vision is simply too powerful.
Yan Yingyuan's command in the past four days is not worse than Hong Chengchou.
In fact, this is still a general who is not a battlefield of Fang Qi, a layman, and he can't see it, but in fact, Yan Yingyuan's command is much stronger than Hong Chengchou.
"God General, there is a change in all sides. Fang Qi said.
Sure enough, after the Manchu Qing group found that Yan Yingyuan was not easy to deal with, and that the city of Beijing was not easy to attack, as I expected, they embarked on this road. He Xuan smiled slightly: "Then arrest all the officials involved in this matter and send them to me." I admire and admire their ugliness. ”
"Yes. Fang Qi nodded.
