Chapter 566: Epistle Surrender

The artillery bombardment of the Qing army lasted for ten whole days, the city of Wuchang was smashed under the dense shells, the head of the city was smashed with thousands of holes, although the defenders fired back, but after all, the artillery was few, and it failed to form a suppression, but many artillery positions were overturned by the Qing army.

The green battalion soldiers brought by Duoduo this time are all veterans who have gone through the battle array, like Gaozhen Li Benshen, who was born as a thief before, and what he is best at is to attack the city and pull out the village, and run away after grabbing it.

These green battalion generals are all veterans, in the long-term war, accumulated rich experience, there are a large number of generals who are good at attacking the city, they according to the information provided by Fu Shangrui, pinpoint the weak point of the city wall, bombarded desperately, every day thousands of iron bullets smashed on the city wall.

In this case, the defenders had to face a constant stream of shells almost at any time, even if it was to eat, and iron bullets were flying "whoosh" overhead.

The red-coated cannon did not have great lethality, and only when it hit could it die, the Ming army in the city did not suffer many casualties, but the damage to the city by the red-coated cannon was immeasurable.

The old city wall in the southern section of the east city, the horse face, the enemy tower, the arrow tower, nearly half of the protruding horse face on the head of the city, the arrow tower, nearly half of which were destroyed, the city gate building on the city was also smashed and completely collapsed, and a cannonball flew into the city, and many houses were also smashed, which made the people in the city panic.

After paying tens of thousands of casualties, the Qing soldiers finally filled in a section of the moat, and the towering mound of earth was pushed in front of the city.

On July 8, after the Qing army stopped shelling, all kinds of siege equipment began to be transported to the forefront, and the Ming army looked out of the city, and could see that the dense goose carts, rushing cars, and ladders had been rolled out of the camp, and the Jin army was about to fully capture the city.

The Qing army had an absolute advantage in strength without a fight, so Duoduo chose to focus on breaking through and attacking and pressuring.

Beginning on July 8, for three consecutive days, the Qing army took turns to attack the city, ambushing thousands of corpses, although the city was not broken, but several times to attack the city, giving the defenders great pressure.

As the city was besieged for a longer period of time, the mentality of the soldiers and civilians in the city also changed, first of all, hundreds of thousands of people were trapped, although the rice and grain were enough, but there were certainly no fresh vegetables, the life of the soldiers and civilians began to be difficult, and the city suffered from shelling every day, and the Qing soldiers killed the city several times in the past few days, and the panic was still inevitable in the city.

There is a shortage of all kinds of materials in the city, and people are always a little selfish, there are scoundrels and black-hearted merchants everywhere, and the public order in the city deteriorates rapidly, and even the hearts of the people and the army are also affected.

Fortunately, Zhizhou You Youlun has no mercy on this guard, the current enemy, the stability in the city is overwhelming, whoever makes trouble will arrest whom, whoever raises prices will copy whom, Wuchang Prison will be overcrowded in a few days, but after his such a bullet, the security in Wuchang City immediately improved.

The city was temporarily stable, but the pressure from outside the city was not alleviated in the slightest, the Qing army's offensive was too fierce, and it rushed to the city as if it was not fatal, and actually climbed the city wall on the first day, and in the next two days, the city head also poured into the Qing army several times, which really made people feel frightened.

In the past few days, He Tengjiao has been worried about the war, and he has not slept well for a few days, he is listening to You Youlun's report in the governor's mansion, and he heard a voice outside the study: "Supervisor, there will be something to tell you at the end." ”

In the past few days, He Tengjiao has been extremely alert, he heard the voice and immediately looked outside the house, and then motioned to You Youlun to stop first, and asked outside, "Who is it?" ”

"Inspector, the last general Wang Yuncheng." The man outside the room replied.

He Tengjiao heard the origin clearly, put away his vigilance, he asked You Youlun to sit down first, and called: "Come in." ”

Wang Yuncheng was originally a general of Zuozhen, nicknamed the Iron Cavalry King, he had permission, opened the door and entered the room, first looked at the situation in the house, and then saluted, and whispered: "Supervisor, the last general patrolled the city, and happened to meet the Qing soldiers under the city to submit a book to the city, so I came to report." ”

Submission? He Tengjiao frowned slightly, when the Qing soldiers came to the city, they shot a letter of persuasion, and he didn't even look at it and burned it directly in front of the generals, "What is this kind of letter sent for?" Later, the letters outside the city were immediately destroyed when they were discovered. ”

He Tengjiao straightened his body, or continued: "Where is the book?" ”

Wang Yuncheng saw that He Tengjiao wanted a book, and hurriedly took out a white silk, faintly visible ink, and presented it to He Tengjiao. ”

Wang Yuncheng's face leaked with embarrassment, and after half a sound, he said: "The officers on duty have seen it." ”

He Tengjiao frowned, then waved his hand and said, "You go down first." ”

When Wang Yuncheng heard this, he bowed and retreated.

When he exited the room and closed the door, He Tengjiao sat for a moment before unfolding the square handkerchief and looking at it.

This letter was written to him and the generals of Wuchang in the name of Prince Yu Duoduo.

The gist is to blow a first, claiming that the Qing army is coming in three ways and is unstoppable, Wuchang is a city, and the Qing Dynasty is bound to win, so let He Tengjiao not make useless resistance. Prince Yu has the virtue of a good life, can't bear to see the lives ruined, persuaded the Western Ming army to open the city to surrender, and made the following promises, if He Tengjiao surrendered, can be crowned the king of Pingxiang, secondly, all Ming officers are hired at the same level, but also rewarded gold and silver property, etc., the conditions are very rich.

He Tengjiao read the letter twice, grabbed it in his hand, and was in a trance for a while.

Seeing this, You Youlun couldn't help but get up and asked worriedly: "Teacher, this letter~"

You Youlun is considered to be He Tengjiao's student, it is a relationship of both glory and loss, He Tengjiao came back to his senses, raised his hand and handed him the square handkerchief, "Fang Shan, you can also take a look." ”

After taking the square handkerchief, You Youlun took a look at it, and became anxious, "Teacher, he is full of nonsense and has no faith at all, even Duoduo has the virtue of a good life?" It's complete nonsense, it's unbelievable, if you want to deceive the city, don't believe it~"

"Hmph, do you think Ben Du has no judgment at all?" You Youlun was bitter, but He Tengjiao was a little unhappy, he felt that You Youlun was too unconfident in him.

"The teacher misunderstood, the disciple read Manyi's letter, and he was in a hurry." You Youlun hurriedly confessed and accompanied him.

He Tengjiao didn't say much, and after a deep sigh, he said: "This governor doesn't blame you, this captive is cunning, and it is the best in history." That Zheng Zhilong was just deceived, but Wang Jue didn't get it, but he lost all the money lost by the Zheng family for more than 20 years of operation, and he was also under house arrest in Beijing, so he could only regret it. In the past, Duoduo wanted to take a prince to deceive the governor, and he really regarded the governor as a child, and then said that the governor was a dignified and famous superintendent, a cabinet scholar, and a prince of the country, under one person, above ten thousand people, how could he take refuge in the barbarians. ”

You Youlun listened, and his heart was settled, although his own teacher was unreliable in front of many small things, but in the face of major rights and wrongs, his position was still very firm, and he immediately couldn't help but make a long sigh, "The teacher is wise, this Manchu Qing must not be believed." ”

He Tengjiao listened to the flattery, but his face did not see through the joy of Duoduo's treacherous schemes, but was worried, he actually took the letter and read it again, which made You Youlun nervous.

"Fang Shan, that Fu Shangrui and Liu Chengyin were originally people who the governor relied on, but as soon as the Qing soldiers arrived, the two thieves surrendered. The Governor may not be tempted by the conditions of Dordium, but the generals in this city will not have two hearts? He Tengjiao put down the letter and said suddenly.

Hearing this, You Youlun was slightly stunned, he knew why He Tengjiao was worried, he was worried that he would be sold. Now the defense of Wuchang is mainly in the hands of Ma Jinzhong, Wang Jincai, Chen Youlong, and Wang Yuncheng, and the soldiers and horses are all controlled by the four. He Tengjiao must have been suspicious in his heart.

At this time, You Youlun didn't reply, but He Tengjiao stood up and paced: "Fang Shan, you go and give this governor an order, from today on, the transfer of troops and horses in the city must first be reported to the governor's yamen and accept the governor's supervision, and all changes in tactics must be signed by the governor before they can be implemented." and the distribution of food and wages, and the ...... of ordnance."

When You Youlun heard this, his heart trembled, if everything was reported to the Governor's Yamen, how would the battle be fought, wouldn't it become the Song Dynasty, draw a formation map and let the generals fight according to it? And even if the generals obey orders, the problem is, you don't know how to lead troops to fight!

He Tengjiao obviously doesn't trust his subordinates, but you can't be so obvious! You Youlun didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then he became anxious again, "Teacher, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, according to the teacher's intentions, what else are the generals doing?" ”

He Tengjiao stopped pacing, and said as a matter of course: "Naturally, I am commanding the defense of the city at the head of the city." ”

You Youlun put his head like a rattle, "Teacher, with all due respect to the student, this transfer of troops must be requested, tactics must be changed, approval must be requested, and approval must be requested for the transfer of equipment, and the battle will not be fought." Once the Qing army attacks the city, the situation at the head of the city will change, and you have to wait until you ask for instructions, you will miss the big thing, if the teacher is not at ease, you can shoot people to secretly monitor, or often inspect the city defense, so act, I am afraid that the general will be cold! ”
