Chapter 196: Situation!

"Report" A soldier with a white flag walked in.

"Qiyu Regent, yesterday Emperor Ming personally led 350,000 troops out of Nanjing City, crossed the Yangtze River to the north, including 100,000 Ying Long army, and has now traveled to Chuzhou."

"Good! The little emperor is finally here, what a waiting! Hahahaha, this time the remnants of the light will be destroyed, and the world will be my Qing Dynasty. Dolgon was excited, although he had learned that the little emperor had plans to conquer in person as early as two days ago, but he did not dare to act rashly, and the attack on Jining City has been kept in a state of not being intense, just to make a look that the Qing Dynasty is not so powerful, for fear that the little emperor will be afraid in his heart and change his plans. Although judging from his analysis of the little emperor's temperament, since the little emperor has made a decision in the court, the possibility of change is very high, but he is still cautious and does not act rashly.

Now it's okay, the little emperor really personally recruited and led the troops, the 350,000 army, together with the men and horses that are now in Jining City and Jianghuai, is about 520,000, and there can be so many soldiers and horses, it is already sure that all the men and horses that Remnant Ming can draw out, as long as he defeats it in a battle, Remnant Ming will have no power to fight back!

"Congratulations to the Lord Regent! Congratulations to the Regent! The Qing Dynasty will win! All the generals stood up and congratulated as if they had been victorious.

Dolgon nodded and stood up suddenly: "Herald Geng Jingzhong!" The red-coated cannon must be transported to the city of Jining within two days! ”

"Wow!" A herald quickly walked out of the tent of the Chinese army.

At the border of Chuzhou, Zhu Cihong led an army of 350,000 to arrive here, and it is expected to reach Xuzhou in two more days.

The battle reports of the Shandong front came one after another.

Duoduo led 200,000 Qing troops in Tai'an and Dolgon's main force separated, quickly swept through the counties in eastern Shandong at a very fast speed, Laiwu, Zhucheng, Yantai, Jiaozhou and other more than 30 counties in just a few days all fell into the hands of the Manchus, at this moment, Duoduo is leading the army to attack in the direction of Linyi, once Linyi also fell, the whole Shandong will only be Jining City and a few counties near Xuzhou.

"Who is stationed in Linyi now? How many soldiers and horses are there? Zhu Cihong asked.

"Back to the emperor, the new Huai'an commander-in-chief Jiang Wei is stationed in Linyi, with 24,000 men." Peng Cheng replied.

Jinyiwei secret agents are all over the world, in order to keep abreast of the latest information, Zhu Cihong took Peng Cheng with him, and after this period of testing, Zhu Cihong found that Peng Cheng was very good at intelligence.

"Order Jiang Wei to hold Linyi for at least three days." Zhu Cihong didn't want Linyi to fall soon, but he also knew that under the powerful offensive of Duoduo's 200,000 troops, it was good that Linyi could hold for three days, and there was a danger of annihilation in a long time.

Just the day before Zhu Cihong led his army to Xuzhou, Zhu Cihong's order reached Jiang Wei, who was guarding Linyi.

"Three days! It's not easy to keep! Jiang Wei's hands trembled a little, and his mouth was full of bitterness.

He had long known that it was the famous Yu prince Duoduo and 200,000 Qing troops who were going to attack Linyi in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. For Duoduo, Jiang Wei was afraid in his heart, you know, this is a famous general comparable to Dolgon in the Manchu Dynasty.

"Newspaper"

"My lord, the vanguard of the Qing army has arrived in the city!" A soldier suddenly ran in to report.

"So fast!" Jiang Wei was a little scared in his heart.

"Come on, gather all the generals, and go up to the city tower with the general army to defend!" Jiang Wei gritted his teeth and ordered.

Although he was afraid, Jiang Wei did not dare to disobey Zhu Cihong's holy decree, no matter what, he had to keep it for three days, otherwise his net worth and his family would be in danger.

In order to prevent any generals from disobeying orders, or rebelling in wartime, and defecting to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zhu Cihong once issued an order to temporarily move all the families of high-level generals to Nanjing City to live, the meaning is very clear, if anyone dares to disobey the generals, or collude with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they will let their families take their lives to pay for it.

In order to win the war, Zhu Cihong had to be ruthless and cruel.

On the same day, Duoduo led the army to Linyi City, and after sending people to persuade him to surrender to no avail, he waved his army to attack the city!

All of a sudden, the city was raining arrows inside and outside the city, and the Qing army was attacking fiercely, and someone attacked the city wall that day, although it was quickly beaten, but this was not a good sign.

On the first day alone, the defenders of Linyi suffered more than 6,000 casualties, and the walls were dyed red.

Jiang Wei's face turned a little pale, with such heavy casualties, morale will become more and more low, once more than half of the casualties are lost, the soldiers below are likely to collapse, and even if they barely hold out for three days, it will be difficult to break through.

"How is it good!" Jiang Wei was worried.

"Lord Commander, the villain has a suggestion!" A Qian general suddenly said to Jiang Wei.

"What advice?" Jiang Wei immediately asked.

This Qian always looked left and right, and did not say it directly, but leaned over to Jiang Wei's root and whispered the suggestion in a voice that only Jiang Wei and he could hear.

Jiang Wei was originally very interested, but when he heard the back, his face suddenly turned blue, and he was so angry that he kicked the Qian general manager to the ground.

"Bastard, you actually want Lao Tzu to open the city and surrender, and let Lao Tzu be a traitor! You don't just want to harm Lao Tzu, you also want the lives of Lao Tzu and the Nine Clans! Jiang Wei pointed at this Qian general manager and scolded.

"I think you must be a spy of the Qing captives! Come on, drag this spy out and behead him! ”

Immediately, this Qian Zong was dragged down in great horror.

"Pass the order! Anyone who dares to disturb the morale of the army will be killed! "Jiang Wei gave a strict order! In any case, he would not joke with the lives of his family, even if he died here!

The Qing army attacked fiercely, but the defenders of Linyi, under the personal leadership of Jiang Wei, resisted stubbornly and paid a heavy price of more than 7,000 soldiers killed and wounded.

The casualties on the second day were even heavier than on the first day, Jiang Wei's face was pale, and there was a little despair in his expression!

In just two days, more than 13,000 casualties were inflicted on the soldiers under his command, such casualties were too heavy, and the morale of the soldiers was obviously declining day by day, and the Qing army's offensive was by no means more than that, and the Qing army was likely to launch a more fierce offensive tomorrow, and now his subordinates, counting those who were slightly injured and did not lose their combat effectiveness, he still had 12,000 people available at most.

In terms of numbers, it seems that it will not be a problem to survive tomorrow, but the morale of the remaining more than 10,000 people is not allowed at all, Jiang Wei has a faint hunch that there is no need for the Qing army to launch a more fierce offensive, as long as there are three or four thousand casualties tomorrow, and all casualties reach seventy percent, the remaining soldiers will collapse.

What to do! Jiang Wei was extremely frustrated, if he didn't come up with a way to come out as soon as possible, he would probably have to explain here tomorrow.
