But Chang Yu knew that it had not yet reached the most critical time, the Ming army was short of food and grass, and the soldiers and horses were tired, and they were temporarily unable to attack, and the Qing army was actually no better than the Ming army.

To put it simply, both armies are tired now and need to take a breath, so they may be too peaceful for a while, but once they recover, it will be a life-and-death situation.

Of course, the so-called peace is also relative, and large-scale clashes will not occur, but the peripheral police posts of the two armies are scouting and scouting, and it is absolutely impossible to misfire.

In particular, the disappearance of the Qing army's two-way exploration horses in Linzi and the fact that Li Yan's army is getting closer and closer will definitely attract the attention of the Qing army, and there will inevitably be a large number of Qing army spies to come here to investigate, which is what Chang Yu said is lively!

Chang Yu said the situation here lightly, but Li Shiyuan was concerned about the situation in Qingzhou City, after all, there were more than 2,000 Qing troops outside at this time, and the main force behind was also close at hand...... "Maybe the vanguard of the Qing army has already begun to attack the city, right?" ”

"No" Chang Yu shook his head: "Whether it is the thief army or the Tartars, the routine used is the same, that is, to bend first, that is, to threaten and intimidate, and if it is not successful, it will be attacked, and you have to have the most basic siege equipment to attack different field battles, and the Tartar vanguard galloped all the way to the point, and there was no such guy at all."

Hearing him say this, Li Shiyuan felt a little relieved: "It's just that after the first day of junior high school and fifteen, the factory governor speculates that the Tartars will attack at the earliest?" ”

Chang Yu was silent for a while: "If it is expected, the Tartar vanguard will persuade to surrender today, but the two battalions under the command of this governor will not surrender, and the Tartars are very likely to attack at night but there are no siege equipment, it is just a look, but tomorrow, the Tartar army can arrive under the city, and then it is indispensable to show off their muscles to intimidate the defenders into offering the city, and at the same time prepare siege equipment...... Well, three days later, if Qingzhou does not surrender, it will be attacked! ”

Three days! Qingzhou only has three days to breathe! Li Shiyuan's face was pale, he knew that the Qing army came to attack the year before last and this time was not a heavyweight at all, at that time it was only a few thousand small detachments, and now it is the regent of the Qing Dynasty who led tens of thousands of heavy soldiers to come all the way to besiege the city without tireless hardships, and vowed not to give up if the city was not broken!

"Don't be so nervous" Chang Yu looked at him with a solemn expression and smiled slightly: "Three days is enough time for us to prepare, as long as Qingzhou City does not break the Governor, we can concentrate on fighting with Dolgon outside, and it is difficult to say who will die in the end."

"Listening to what the factory supervisor said, it seems that there is no certainty of victory!" Li Shiyuan mustered up the courage to ask.

"There are no absolutes in the world, blind arrogance will only make you underestimate the enemy" Chang Yu looked outside: "Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, this governor will go all out this time!" ”

Li Shiyuan looked at the young man in front of him, he could hear that the little eunuch must have suffered a loss, as for what the loss was, Chang Yu didn't dare to ask if he didn't say anything, so he changed the topic: "I don't know where General Li is?" ”

Chang Yu didn't know, he guessed that Li Yan was blocked on the north bank of the Yellow River, but he didn't know if he had crossed the river at this time, he wanted to send someone to investigate, but because there were too many Qing troops around him, he didn't want to take risks, thinking that if Li Yan came, he would definitely send scouts to report the news, and there was no one within more than ten miles now, so just wait.

The two of them gossiped for a while and went down to the city with Zhu Ci'an, and happened to meet Zou Fengji and others who were about to come up, and returned to the yamen together with a few words of greeting.

Chang Yu came to Zizi this time for two things, one was to prepare military rations, and the other was to wait for Li Yan and then join forces to compete with Dolgon outside the city.

Everything is ready, just wait for Li Yan.

Besides, after Li Yan broke through the defense line of the Yellow River, he happened to receive Chang Yu's order to transfer troops, so he led his troops to go straight to the south without stopping, and arrived in Boxing County at noon.

From a distance, there is still black smoke billowing in the city, and the scouts came to report that the city has been ruined more than ten miles east of the city to find the traces of the Tartar probing horses.

Li Yan was silent, just waved his hand and asked everyone to continue to hurry to the southeast, a hundred miles away is Linzi, he just wanted to arrive one step earlier.

It's just that there are always a large number of Qing troops following them along the way, and some of them are even close to provocation, Li Yan ordered the other party not to attack as long as they don't attack, which makes the Qing army even more arrogant.

In the evening, the distance is more than half, into the territory of Xincheng County (now Huantai County), the county seat is five or six miles to the west, the scout came to report that the county seat is intact, Huang Degong asked if he wanted to get some food, Li Yan thought about it, and sent people into the city to inform the Ming and Qing armies that the surrounding area was about to fight, and must not open the city to surrender, otherwise the chickens and dogs under the Tartar butcher's knife will not be left, and in the name of the East Factory in the city to raise grain for emergencies. He already knew from the situation that Linzi was just a small city, and he was afraid that the strength of the whole city might not be able to raise tens of thousands of troops, or it would not last long, so he took precautions to use Xincheng County as a spare tire.

At this time, it was only half a hundred miles away from Linzi, but it was about the same distance from Guangrao County in the east, and at this time, the main force of Dolgon was resting more than ten miles away from the south of the city, and the army under his command was wantonly plundering in the surroundings, so that there were more than ten Qing troops wandering within a few miles of Li Yan's army, provoking the Ming army's peripheral police posts from time to time.

But fortunately, the commanders of the two armies didn't want to cause trouble, for Dolgon, he just wanted to plunder and capture Qingzhou City with peace of mind, and wished that the Ming army would hide from afar to watch the play, and he would not take the initiative to fight.

For Li Yan, although he has the intention to kill the enemy, his strength is insufficient, and it is meaningless to follow behind at this time, after all, both sides have arrived at the ground to officially fight in the ring, and he just wants to go to Linzi to rest his troops and horses now, and then go to Qingzhou outside the city to fight the shame of Xuexianghe with the Qing army.

Everyone was waiting, Dolgon and other soldiers and horses regained their strength and other pioneers came with good news, and Chang Yu was waiting for Li Yan to arrive, so that this afternoon was unusually calm.

It was a little noisy on the side of Weiqingzhou, and the two groups of people inside and outside the city were about to move, and Kangkler heard that Dolgon had camped sixty miles away to rest, and he was really anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

It was the vanguard who wanted to atone for his sins with this miracle feat, but the reality was very cruel and even a slap in the face, not long after he set off, he was beaten with a stuffy stick by two battalions of the little eunuch's subordinates, and his legs were so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and then he learned the truth and chased him angrily, but he didn't even see the taillights, and then he was scared to retreat more than ten miles that night when he first arrived outside the city.

This morning, the soldiers came outside the city, and when they were full of water and food, and had enough strength, they went down to the city to persuade them to surrender, but they let their shouts burst their throats, and there was no echo in the city.

Look at what your vanguard of 2,000 soldiers and horses has done, it's just nothing! There is no need for others to sarcastically mock both Uncle and Cornkler, and they themselves feel ashamed!

And at this time, Dolgon's main force is close to Chi Qi, once the army is in the city, there will be nothing to do with his vanguard, and he will not be able to look up to others when he looks back.

No, it must not be! Seeing that the persuasion of his subordinates to surrender was ineffective, he sent several small teams of soldiers and horses, each team of about 100 people around the city to shout and scold and look at the city to shoot arrows.

It's just that after tossing for half an hour, Qingzhou City still didn't move at all, the city gate was closed, and the guards in the city didn't even show their heads.

If you can't fight back, if you don't scold back, it's hard to say that everyone inside is dead, or scared stupid, Kangkler is confused, and it is better to test one or two with a feint.

Kang Kale agreed, and ordered more than 100 people to push the giant wood to hit the door, but just arrived at the city gate more than ten meters, the top of the arrow volley, the boulder rolled down, and the Qing army was killed and wounded more than ten hurriedly dispersed.

They, pretending to be dead, Kangkal was furious, and ordered all the soldiers and horses to cross the river and advance towards the city, and the arrows were returned with color.

It's just that the defenders of the city immediately shrank again, which can make Kangkler's hateful teeth itch but there is nothing to do, he came lightly, the soldiers have no siege equipment except bows and arrows, and they can't climb up in the face of the high wall, and they can't hit it, and there is no other way but to scold.
