After the Qing army broke through Fancheng, they built a pontoon bridge from the upper reaches of the Han River, crossed the river, and surrounded Xiangyang.

When Liu Tichun abandoned Fancheng, he set fire to the entire city, so the Qing army still did not have a foothold in the north of the Han River, so Azig immediately left a small number of men and horses to garrison the north bank to guard the grain road, and led the army to cross the Han River together.

Xiangyang City is a historical city, the Southern Song Dynasty can rely on this city and Mengyuan for five years, it is enough to see the extraordinary city, but now the artillery is developing rapidly, but the city is not as easy to hold as the Southern Song Dynasty.

At this time, the moat of Xiangyang had already been filled with mud, and outside the city were large mounds higher than the city walls, and the remains of siege towers, ladders, tank cars, and rushing cars were everywhere under the city.

The craters on the walls, the broken arrows on the ground, the damaged weapons, the banners, and the blackened dirt all tell the story of the fierce battles that took place.

In the early morning, as soon as the sun rose, Yang Yanchang led the guards to the city from the horse road, replaced Liu Tichun, who was on duty all night, and prepared to meet the Qing soldiers to attack the city today.

These days, after breakfast every day, the Qing soldiers will definitely send men and horses to attack Xiangyang, a few days ago, they drove the people to attack the city, and now the people are dead and wounded, and the northwest of Hubei can not be plundered, so the green battalion also participated in the siege.

With the participation of the green battalion in the siege of the city, the pressure on the defenders has also increased several times, making the mood of the soldiers and civilians in the city heavy.

At this time, the Ming army in the city was changing guards, but a soldier on the city tower suddenly shouted: "General, there is a soldier and horse entering the Qing camp." ”

Yang Yanchang, who was on patrol, heard the words and thought that the Qing army had captured the people from the south again, so he turned around and immediately strode up to the city tower.

He stood on the second floor and looked out, and saw a Qing soldier, the team dragged long, and entered the Qing army camp in a sparse manner, as if he had lost the battle.

"This is Gaudí's centaur!" Yang Yanchang looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally distinguished, and suddenly exclaimed.

Outside the city, the Qing army camp stretches for several miles, and thousands of military tents are built on the south bank of the Han River, which is boundless, like white houses.

In the camp of the Qing army, with arrow wounds on his body, Gao Di knelt in the center of the big tent with an embarrassed face, Azig was sitting on a tiger skin chair with anger written on his face, and Wu Sangui on the side had a gloomy face.

They already knew the fall of Yicheng, Azig hated Gao Di for being useless, and Wu Sangui was surprised by the ability of the Ming army, since he took Yicheng in one day.

There are many merits in this, but it is an indisputable fact that 5,000 Ming troops drove 10,000 Qing soldiers out of Yicheng.

"Hmph~" Azig looked at Gao Di and said angrily: "10,000 horses, you can't even hold on for a day, what does this king want you to do?" ”

Among the Manchu kings, Azig's temper was known for his rudeness and brutality, and he dared to humiliate even the little emperor of the Manchu Dynasty, let alone kill an inconsequential general of the Green Battalion.

Yicheng, as an outpost of the Qing army in the south, was easily captured by the Ming army, and Gao Di, as the main general, not only did not play the role of early warning and monitoring, but also did not even find out the details of the Ming army, which really made Azig intolerable.

Gao Di trembled when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The prince is angry, the slave accidentally fell for the trick of the Ming army, the prince gave the slave another chance, and the slave must make up for it." ”

"Make up for it?" Azig sneered, "How are you going to make up for it!" ”

"Please give the minions some equipment, and the minions will definitely take Yicheng back!" Gao Di kowtowed repeatedly.

Yicheng is indeed very important to the Qing army, he can play a warning role for the Qing army under Xiangyang City, and Yicheng chokes the water and land arteries of the Ming army's northern aid, so that the Qing army can relax and besiege Xiangyang.

When Azig heard this, he was a little moved, and he was just about to speak, but Wu Sangui said: "Lord Wang, this attack on Yicheng is not an ordinary Ming army, according to what my brother has seen, they are under the banner of Wang Yan's supervision, and their general is Jinhou Yuan Zongdi." This person has been in battle for many years, and he is a general, so I am afraid it will not be easy to deal with. The most important thing is that Yuan Zongdi appeared in Yicheng, does that mean that Wang Yan has captured Wuchang and the army has begun to go north to rescue Xiangyang? ”

When Azig heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then said in surprise: "What does the chief uncle mean that Luck Dehun has been defeated, and Wang Yan's main force may have arrived in Yicheng?" ”

Wuchang City was high and strong, with nearly 60,000 Qing soldiers, and it was actually captured by Wang Yan, which made Azig unbelievable.

"Exactly~" Wu Sangui nodded slightly when he saw this, but he saw that Azig was suspicious, and he himself didn't believe that the Ming army could capture Wuchang in such a short time, so he put forward another possibility: "In addition, Wang Yanjiu has been besieging Wuchang for a long time, and he is worried about the situation in Xiangyang, so he divided his troops to support, but no matter what the situation is, we should first find out the situation in the south, and we can't easily dispatch troops and horses to prevent the main force of the Ming army from suddenly killing." ”

Azig pondered slightly: "Then the siege should also be temporarily stopped?" ”

"Stop! It would not be good if we were attacked by the Ming army when we were attacking the city. Wu Sangui said: "If the main force of the Ming army really arrives, then our battle plan will have to be changed from attacking the city to sending reinforcements." ”

Azig nodded, he glanced at the kneeling Gao, and then shouted: "Useless things, don't let this king go out to investigate, and see how many Ming troops are coming." ”

On the city of Xiangyang, the Ming soldiers were ready, rolling stones and thunderwood were piled up on the city, and the stinky clay pot was filled with boiling dung, and feathered arrows were soaked in it.

The soldiers of the Ming army had already made preparations, but after breakfast time, the Qing soldiers who should have gone out of the camp to attack the city in the past did not move, and the large camp that stretched for several miles seemed unusually quiet.

Gao Yigong walked up to the city wall with his personal guards, looked up at the sun overhead, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Aren't the Qing soldiers preparing to attack the city today?" ”

When Yang Yanchang heard this, he said his guess: "Master Hou, today the Gao Di Department was defeated from the south into the Qing camp, and the last general guessed if it was the reinforcements of the Duke of Guo?" ”

Gao Yigong was overjoyed when he heard this, but then he calmed down and said: "It may also be that the Qing army is making a play, making us mistakenly think that reinforcements are coming, and then send people to pretend to be the Ming army and deceive the city gate!" Xiangyang is very important, we must be cautious~"

"Master Hou~" While Gao Yigong was speaking, Yang Yanchang suddenly pointed to the Qing camp in the distance and said, "The Qing army sent the sentry cavalry south. ”

In the Qing army camp in the distance, the camp gate was wide open, and sure enough, there were groups of Qing cavalry, rushing out of the camp, startled by a cloud of smoke and dust and looked south.

Seeing this, Gao Yigong and the others couldn't help but fluctuate in their hearts.

The next day, more than a dozen Qing army sentry riders, leading a convoy, looked north, led by a middle-aged man, dressed in a square scarf, holding a scepter, although walking, but looking magnificent.
