The Ming army was in full swing on this side, and Chu Governor He Tengjiao finally led Ma Jinzhong, Wang Jincai, Chen Zilong and other more than 40,000 people to sit in Wuchang, and led 10,000 Hunan troops to occupy Jiangxia.

After the Ming army of Sanjiangkou blocked Duoduo for a few days, because the water village was broken by the Qing army, the general Yan Wenjie was killed, and Man Dazhuang and Wang Ding were ordered to retreat to Jiangxia to meet with Yinxi.

In the middle of summer, the combat power of the Eight Banners was not very reliable, so the main force of the battle of Chu and Jiangxi this time was the green battalion soldiers, and it was mainly the green battalion soldiers who surrendered in Lianghuai and Jiangnan.

Ninety percent of Dord's 100,000 troops were Green Battalion soldiers.

In order to attack Wuchang Jiancheng, the former left town general Daniel Zhang, the former Gao town general Li Benshen and Yang Chengzu, the former Liu town generals Zhang Sida, Gao Qian, Yan Shiyi, the former Li Chuang's general Liu Zhong, etc., a total of 90,000 green battalion soldiers, they are either four town elite soldiers, or Wuchang Zuo Town and the elite of the breaking army, the rabble who surrendered in eastern Zhejiang, Duoduo did not bring it, all the green battalion elite soldiers, plus two Han flags, agitated the world to advance to Wuchang.

Manchu people are not good at attacking the city, most of these green battalion generals are masters of attack and defense, Duoduo opened up the Sanjiang estuary, and there is no obstacle under Wuchang City, he is bound to win.

On the way to the army, Duoduo adopted Fu Shangrui's admonitions, and posted lists along the way, stating that those who cooperated with the Qing army would not kill their heads, not raid their homes, and not draw Ding, and those who could offer He Tengjiao, Plug Yinxi and other Huguang officials, according to different official ranks, were allowed to carry the flag, worship the lord, reward silver, give land and other rewards, but if there were those who fought against the soldiers of the Holy Dynasty, the soldiers did not surrender, and the whole city was slaughtered.

The notice was posted, but the Qing soldiers soon found that it was not interesting, the reputation of the Qing army was too bad, burning, killing and looting were all evil, the army did not arrive, the people along the way basically ran away, and no one read the notice posted.

Huguang is the granary of the world, it can be regarded as a rich place, the Qing soldiers rushed in, did anyone read the notice, the ordinary soldiers did not care, the key people all ran away, the valuable soft, and all the things that could be taken away were also taken away, they came to fight on a hot day, but they didn't get any benefits, and the Qing soldiers were angry.

Fortunately, in front of Wuchang, the belly of the nine provinces of the world, although it is said that it has experienced war, but I heard that He Inspector Shi is not bad, after the fight, gold and silver treasures, food, women must be indispensable.

Without Duoduo mobilizing, this group of animals who had lost their conscience killed Wuchang with red eyes, and they were bound to take Wuchang down and plunder a lot of money.

At the beginning of July, the Qing army's vanguard arrived in the eastern suburbs of Wuchang against the river, and Duoduo led the Qing general to peek at the city defense of Wuchang, and his eyes couldn't help but leak a look of surprise.

The height of the Wuchang city wall and the width of the moat far exceeded Duoduo's expectations, in his opinion, the specifications of Wuchang should be the same as those of Hangzhou and Jinan, and the specifications of Wuchang City in front of him are close to the specifications of Beijing and Jiangning.

"He Tengjiao is so big!" Manchurian entered the customs, and the Central Plains culture did not learn the slightest, but the various specifications and constraints were familiar with it, Duoduo put down the clairvoyant mirror and scolded.

"Lord Wang, here in the Ming Dynasty, now the lord is weak and the ministers are strong, the weak cadres are strong, the local governors are bigger, the Ming court is difficult to control, and many people below the regulations do not abide by it." Fu Shangrui said: "Just like this Wuchang City, He Tengjiao was built according to the standards of Jiangning, and the various facilities on the city wall are complex and complete, which is not comparable to other provincial cities at all." ”

After he left, Plug Yinxi and He Tengjiao also continued to implement, and some refugees were sent to Hunan to dig the Ling Canal, and those who stayed in Hubei mainly rebuilt Xiangfan and Wuchang City.

He Tengjiao is very attentive to the management of his own nest, so he re-heightened and strengthened Wuchang, and all kinds of facilities are very complete.

Duoduo listened to Fu Shangrui's words, waved his horsewhip, and walked around the city, he found that it was really as Fu Shangrui said, there were many horses, enemy towers, and forts in the city, and the city was more than 20 miles long, and without 100,000 horses, it was difficult for Wuchang to fight down.

Fu Shangrui saw that Duoduo's face was full of solemnity, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, the defense situation of this Wuchang City, the minions are clear and clear, how many horses are on each city wall, how many cannons are placed, where the walls are thick, where the walls are thin, the minions are all right." ”

"Oh?" When Duoduo heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but praise, "Very good, after returning to the camp, you can draw a drawing, and this king will be rewarded." ”

"Don't worry, the minion has already drawn the drawings and is ready to dedicate them to the prince!"

Duoduo laughed, with such a person who was familiar with Wuchang's defense, he felt that his grasp of capturing Wuchang had improved by at least thirty percent. Looking at the siege equipment he transported, there are 80 cannons in red alone, as well as thousands of ladders, goose carts, and 100,000 strong soldiers.

This Wuchang City, he must fight down, otherwise what else is there to talk about seizing Chu and Gan and destroying Nanming?

Immediately Duoduo returned to the camp, and the Qing army began to build a continuous camp on the outskirts of the city, all kinds of equipment were unloaded from the boats by the people, and the towering goose carts were lined up, which was magnificent.

In July, the heat was unbearable, there was no rain for more than ten days, and the air that the soldiers breathed and the wind that blew were all hot.

At the head of Wuchang City, the soldiers of the Ming army were shirtless, busily carrying arrows, wood, stones, fire oil and other things.

On the horse's face, a swarm of bees and hundreds of tigers rushed arrows together, lined up, and the earth-shattering thunder packed in wooden boxes was also carried up.

Next to the gun mount, the gunner was adjusting the gun position and cleaning the gun chamber, while several soldiers squatted on the ground and loaded the gun with ammunition to ensure the continuous firing of the Franc cannon.

The Ming soldiers in the city were busy in full swing, and the gentry and people in Wuchang did not break their promises, in order to keep He Tengjiao to guard the city, they really paid money and grain, He Tengjiao was also black, and he actually made a hundred silver millions, and 200,000 stones of grain, which also shows that although the Ming court is very poor, the gentry are really rich.

The young people in the city were also organized, and went to the governor's yamen to ask for weapons, to help the officers and soldiers defend the city, He Tengjiao had money and food, and he did not refuse, and organized more than 30,000 young people at once, and sent them to the city in one go, and it was overcrowded.

In this regard, Chen Youlong and Ma Jinzhong have more opinions, now there are 40,000 Ming troops in the city, which is enough to deal with, and it is not enough to need the people to defend the city with swords, and the young and strong are untrained, and they go to the city in a hurry, which will become trouble.

After the two of them turned over and persuaded him, He Tengjiao let Qingzhuang go down to the city, and finally left 5,000 to carry materials and equipment, and sent the rest home.

(Thank you Lan Iyu for the monthly pass, thank you for coming to smile at the master, and happy to break the reward of a group of fools)
