Chapter 315: The Qing army besieges the capital city of Raozhou

Feng Wuyu led the remnants of the retreating Second Field Brigade into the defense line of Raozhou Mansion The next day, Hong Chengchou and more than 70,000 Qing troops arrived within fifteen miles of Raozhou Mansion and set up camp.

In the telescope, I saw that the whole Raozhou capital city was rugged all around, the fortifications were more into the cow's hair, endless, the stump of half a person high, there were seven or eight places, the war horse was not allowed to enter, otherwise it would definitely be deep in it, unable to extricate itself, what is even more amazing was that there was a tunbao in every mile and a half, the tunbao was big and small, the big one was estimated to be able to garrison 500 soldiers, the small one was estimated to be able to garrison about 50 people, the tunbao was surrounded by horses, the long spiked trunks were surrounded, the potholes were uneven, and the cannon muzzle was faintly visible on the tunbao.

Like an iron chain locking the surroundings of Raozhou Mansion, if the Qing soldiers attacked the city and did not pay a large number of casualties, they would not be able to break through to the city.

A trench in front of Tunpu, three trenches behind Tunpu, the road defense is strong, like an iron hoop will Raozhou Mansion this iron bucket tied tighter, Raozhou Mansion city wall has been repaired, reinforced, become more towering, like a copper wall and iron wall.

Hong Chengchou praised himself for his foresight, mobilized so many troops, to besiege Raozhou Mansion, according to the information he received, Raozhou Mansion City has about 30,000 troops, and now, he has mobilized as many as 400,000 troops in three directions.

This does not include the Qing troops transferred from Guangxi and Guangdong, 110,000 green battalions, 30,000 Han army banners, and 10,000 Qing Manchurian troops, a total of 150,000 people.

However, these 150,000 people were going to annihilate the troops of the Metropolitan Governor of the Huaxia Army who were transferred out by themselves.

I heard that guy led 30,000 troops to support the Longwu Nanming army in Fujian.

And Geng Jingzhong's department of Ganzhou Mansion will also lead an army of 50,000 from Ganzhou Mansion to Fujian, and join the Duoduo Department from Jiangxi to attack Zhang Qiang's 30,000 Ming army, no, it should be the Huaxia Army, since Zhang Qiang announced his independence, the Qing army has regarded him as another rebel army different from the Southern Ming court.

This was the first time that the Qing army had mobilized so many troops to attack a local Ming army.

The reason why this is so is because the combat effectiveness and strength displayed by the Huaxia army have made the Manchu court in Yanjing regard it as a great enemy, a more powerful enemy than the Yongli Southern Ming.

In all the battles, the Huaxia army ended with a great victory over the Qing army, and so far the Qing army has not once defeated the army of this local force.

At this time, the elated Hong Chengchou thought that his plan had succeeded, but he didn't know that because his encirclement and suppression of the Huaxia Army had caused problems in the overall strategy of the Qing army, and let go of the forces of Yongli Nanming, so that the forces of Yongli Nanming began to grow and had a chance to breathe.

He won Zhang Qiang in local strategic calculations, but he lost to Zhang Qiang in overall calculations, and he never imagined that Zhang Qiang would calculate the Qing army from the overall situation, the whole, and the national strategy.

He transferred the troops of the Qing army from all over the country, and used more than half of the military strength of his Huaxia army to contend with them, giving the anti-Qing army and the rebel army in various places to win opportunities.

"My lord, it's so strong, how many people will have to die to attack it?" The staff on the side asked with some unacceptability.

"Hehe, anyway, there are a lot of people in the green battalion troops who have been recruited, so let's play crowd tactics with them, I don't believe that the Huaxia army in Raozhou Fucheng, which has only 30,000 people, can kill more than 400,000 troops."

The staff looked at him and was a little sad, those soldiers in the green battalion are all Han, aren't you Han?

Hong Chengchou glanced at him, just saw his eyes, and said to him with a smile: "You have to remember, the dynasty has changed, you have to measure your identity from a new perspective, do you want your family to be cheap for the rest of your life?"

The Manchu Qing Dynasty is like the Yuan Dynasty in the Mengyuan era, and the Han people are inferior in their eyes, even inferior to foreign barbarians such as Kunlun Nu, so we must make more meritorious contributions and strive to raise our nationality and become the civilian status of the Han military banner.

We don't have to think about the Mongolian Eight Banners, only the Mongols can rise in, that is to say, the Han people who have been captured by the Mongols for decades can carry their nationality into the Mongolian Eight Banners, we can only carry them into the Han Army Banner Ding, although the identity is still Han, but it is much higher than the average Han people, if it is possible to carry it into the Manchurian Eight Banners, then your children will be Manchurian in the future, for the prosperity and happiness of future generations, you must learn to sacrifice, sacrifice your poor compassion. ”

"Forget about the Han people, people are forward-looking, if you can't integrate into the new dynasty, you will inevitably be eliminated by the new dynasty, your descendants will suffer from generation to generation, and they will be discriminated against from generation to generation, do you want to be like that?"

Hong Chengchou was about to say a few more words, when a messenger came galloping, "Report to your lordship, the army from Jinling has arrived and is camping fifteen miles away, with a total of 140,000 troops in both directions, including 50,000 Han army banners and 90,000 green camp troops. ”

"Okay, let their commanders settle their troops, and then report in my account, and go to the order to see where Bolobele's army has arrived? Report it in time. ”

"Yes, sir."

Hong Chengchou was just about to turn around, "Report-" Another messenger.

"Report to your lordship, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi's department is coming, and he has set up a big camp fifteen miles south of Raozhou Mansion, and Lord Kong is coming with Pegasus."

"Back to camp." Hong Chengchou turned to his standard camp and commanded.

He was observing the Huaxia army in the capital city of Raozhou, and several binoculars were also observing him on the wall inside a large tun fort outside the capital city of Raozhou.

Liu Liangzuo put down the binoculars, turned to Brother Zhu and Feng Wuyu and said, "It's Hong Chengchou, that old thief, who came so fast,"

Brother Zhu put down the binoculars and said to Liu Liangzuo: "Lord Admiral, that thin old man is Hong Chengchou?" ”

"Yes, don't look at him taking off his official uniform, like an old farmer, in fact, he is amazing, I saw him that day, trembling, his eyes can make you feel that the knife is scraping the bones, just like the weather in Liaodong is as cold."

Feng Wuyu said coldly: "Damn old thief, send people to pursue my retreating troops, causing me to lose my troops, the second field brigade was disabled by his cavalry, there are less than 3,000 infantry troops left, and even the personal guard cavalry is dead There are less than fifteen people left, and I almost can't escape." ”

Liu Liangzuo touched the beard on his chin and said: "Lord Feng, be content with you, you killed him 30,000 people, Huang Tao's cavalry brigade killed him 2,000 cavalry, this is already his biggest defeat since the Songshan fiasco, besides, you also did it ruthlessly, cut off the heads of 30,000 Qing troops and piled them up into a landscape, if I also burst into a thunderstorm, I will not give up if I don't kill you." ”

The scout troops of the Huaxia Army also reported the information nearby, Liu Liangzuo took the information, patted the news and said: "Look, look, the enemy's nearly 300,000 troops have surrounded us, more than 30,000 troops in the south, more than 30,000 troops in the southwest, and the banner is Kong Youde and Shang Kexi's two traitors." To the west is the Qing army from Huizhou and Ji'an, Jinling, and to the north, the Boluo Department of Yanjing, depending on the situation, there are 200,000 troops. And from the west, the Qing army also came, it seems to be the troops of Jiujiang and Nanchang, about 10,000 or 20,000 people. ”

Feng Wuyu said with a smile: "They really look up to us, it doesn't matter, the soldiers will block, the water will cover up, let's just drag them here, and wait for the adults to rescue us." ”

Brother Zhu said with some concern, "Then the camp outside our city should be withdrawn, otherwise, it will inevitably be wiped out, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Liu Liangzuo said: "Well, now is not the time to cover up under the banner of adults, take down the banner of adults, there are so many armies, no matter what, don't count these anymore." ”

Feng Wuyu said: "No, the big camp can be withdrawn, but the flag can't be taken off, so that they think that the adults are still here, and the governor can act in hiding outside." ”
