When the Qing army besieged Runan, Gao Yihuan held the city, blocked the attack of more than 100,000 Qing troops, and used the tunnel to sneak attack the Qing army, forcing Duoduo to retreat.

Shortly thereafter, the Qing army attacked Runan for the second time, and the Wei army once again used Runan City to fend off the Qing army for several months, buying time for Gao Yihuan to take Guanzhong.

Now Runan City is in the hands of the Ming army, Chen Mingyu repaired the city defense, and the Wei army's tunnels have long been destroyed by the Qing army, and a strong city that the Wei army once built itself was placed in front of the Wei army.

When Chen Mingyu was looking at the Wei army, on the hill, Huang Bingzhong and the others looked at Runan City with mixed feelings.

The reason why it is complicated is not only because this place used to be the place where they fought, but also because the defense of the entire city is very perfect, and it looks very familiar.

"There is a moat in front of the city, and a moat outside the moat! If the soldiers did not rush under the walls, they would have to die halfway. Huang Bingzhong gasped.

Hu Dawei raised his whip and pointed at the head of the city, "There are a lot of artillery in the city, and behind the city wall, there must be a stone thrower." In this way, even if our army has mortars, the advantage is not great. ”

Huang Bingzhong reined in the horse's reins, controlled the spinning war horse, and spat on the ground, "The advantage is not big, and we have to attack!" ”

Hu Dawei said: "Then let's fight!" ”

Huang Bingzhong and Hu Dawei immediately observed carefully, marked the artillery and enemy platforms on the city wall one by one, and then returned to the Wei army camp with the map.

That night, according to the custom, the two of them first shot letters, recruited the defenders of the city, and if they did not surrender, they would attack the city with a large army.

In the early morning of April 12, the soldiers patrolling the city found the letter that had been shot in the city last night and sent it to the city tower, and the soldiers whispered, "General! ”

After the Wei soldiers came to the city, Chen Mingyu ate and lived in the city, he was dealing with the city defense affairs, heard the voice, frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"General Qiyu, patrolling the city in a humble position, found a letter shot by a Wei thief." The man outside the room replied.

Chen Mingyu's face sank, "Take it in!" ”

The soldier pushed open the door and respectfully carried the letter up, Chen Mingyu took it and looked at it a few times, then crumpled it up and threw it on the ground, "It is filthy, and his mouth is full of words without a father and a king." ”

At that moment, he picked up the brush, wrote a reply letter on the rice paper, and said to the soldiers: "Shoot down the city." ”

In the Wei army camp, Huang Bingzhong and Hu Dawei were discussing the specific strategy of attacking the city around the sand table made by the army. ”

Huang Bingzhong put down the wooden pole in his hand and asked, "What did he say?" ”

"This~" Yuan Shizhong stammered a little, and it was difficult to answer.

Huang Bingzhong raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand, "Take it to Pontus to see." ”

Yuan Shizhong took the letter to him, and Huang Bingzhong hurriedly glanced at it, and his face immediately sank.

Hu Dawei on the side walked over, "What did Chen Mingyu say?" ”

Huang Bingzhong shook his head awkwardly, "I didn't say anything, I just don't surrender, let's prepare to attack the city!" ”

Hu Dawei didn't follow, he had to look, Huang Bingzhong couldn't help him, "Tiger, don't go to your heart!" ”

Hu Dawei didn't care, and after a few glances, his face turned into a pig's liver, "I eat the army's Lu, deeply wear the grace of the country, and I am a Ming general, I know where the righteousness lies, and I will never serve the two masters." General Tiger was originally the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, deeply favored by the country, not to avenge the first emperor, but to be a thief, what face did he see the first emperor in Jiuquan, and what face did he have to persuade me to follow the thief? Chen Ming swears not to surrender! ”

Huang Bingzhong saw that Hu Dawei's face was ugly, and hurriedly relieved the siege and said: "This Chen Ming doesn't know the current affairs, if he doesn't descend, he won't descend, everyone, his lords, Guisun will scold us again, it's really annoying!" ”

Hu Dawei's face was gloomy, but people change every moment, he already had his own judgment in his heart, the Ming Dynasty was decaying, the rewards and punishments were unknown, the people were not happy, the Great Wei was a strong enemy outside, and the people were safe, who could bring peace to the world and make the people happy, he would be loyal to whom.

At this time, Yuan Shizhong also said: "This person is pedantic and loyal, and the governor doesn't have to worry about him." ”

Hu Dawei didn't want to mention this matter, so he was cheeky, changed the topic, and said in a deep voice: "Who did you say just now that attacked the East Gate?" ”

Huang Bingzhong reacted and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, who will attack the East Gate?" ”

A soldier next to him said timidly: "The two governors, just now said that the siege is missing one, and the east gate will not be attacked!" ”

……

The next day, 60,000 Wei troops assembled under the city of Runan, 10,000 cavalry watched, and 50,000 infantry troops embraced weapons, preparing to attack the three walls of Runan's western, southern, and northern cities.

At this time, as soon as the morning dawned, after the Wei soldiers had eaten a full meal, they began to set up a formation under the three city walls, and the Ming soldiers in the city also ran up to the city, preparing to defend.

"Cheer up, the Wei thief is about to seize the city!" Wherever Chen Mingyu passed, the generals who followed him shouted and reminded the Ming soldiers all the way.

Chen Mingyu was walking, and the slow and rhythmic sound of war drums outside the city sounded, and the crowd of people and towering siege equipment began to surge forward.

At this time, the Ming soldiers in the city, seeing the Wei army coming from the wilderness, there was a trace of panic, Chen Mingyu raised his arms and shouted, "Don't panic, I will defend this city with you!" ”

……

In Huai'an City, a team of cavalry galloped to the city gate, and the leader shouted, "Open the city gate quickly, the military situation is urgent!" ”

When the defenders of the city saw that there were only three cavalrymen, the city gate creaked open, and the urn city was opened first, and after the cavalry entered the urn city, they closed the urn city gate and opened the city gate to let the cavalry enter.

Not long after, Ma Shiying got the information sent by Chen Mingyu, and the 60,000 elite Wei troops entered Runan.

"I'm really afraid of something! The Wei thief really has another plan! Ma Shiying paced back and forth, suddenly stopped, and said urgently: "Where is Fang Guoan?" Gao Yihuan is going to copy the back road of the governor, and you immediately lead 30,000 people to reinforce Runan and protect the flank of the governor. ”

Fang Guoan's expression was solemn, and he hugged his fists and said: "Humble and orderly!" ”

With that, he turned around and walked out of the lobby quickly.

Ma Shiying waited for him to leave, but he was still not at ease, and said urgently: "Quickly send a fast horse to inform Nanjing!" ”

……

In the city of Nanjing, in the imperial study of the imperial city, Zhu Cihong looked at the beating report sent by Huguang and smiled.

"Sun Kewang went to Hunan, Chen Youlong's army was trapped in Taoyuan and Longyang, there was only a lonely city left in Wuling in Changde Mansion, and Yuezhou was also under the siege of Yinxi, which was in danger, once the Ming Dynasty occupied northern Hunan, it would be able to threaten Jingzhou, and it was not impossible to drive the Wei thieves out of Huguang!"

Zhu Cihong took the recital from Huguang, his face was excited, and he couldn't wait to run to Huguang and personally command this battle.

In the study, several scholars also breathed a sigh of relief on their faces, if the coalition army could defeat the Huguang Wei army, the Ming Dynasty would have at least a hundred years of luck.

At this time, when everyone was relieved, the eunuch Lu Jiude reported outside, "Your Majesty, Jiangbei has sent an urgent report." ”

Zhu Cihong and the ministers were in their hearts at the same time, but they still said in a deep voice: "Come in, what is the urgent report?" ”

Lu Jiude knelt on the ground and reported, "The Ma Pavilion Department is playing, 60,000 Wei thieves are attacking Runan, and the main direction of attack of Wei thieves is very likely to be in Huainan." ”

This news surprised everyone, no wonder the Ming army in Huguang was able to repel the Wei thieves, it turned out that the main force of the Wei army was not in Huguang.

Zhu Cihong frowned and was silent for a while, but still asked calmly, "What do you think?" ”

Previously, Chen Zilong was worried that Gao Yihuan had an attempt, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Wei thieves attacked Runan, obviously trying to bypass the Huaihe River defense line, outflank the back road of the Ma Ge Department, encircle and annihilate our Huainan defenders, and then launch a battle to cross the river. The minister thought that if Huainan could not be defended, he could retire to the Yangtze River to ensure that the river defense force was sufficient. ”

"No!" Ruan Dacheng clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Hu Guanggang has just made progress, and when Sun Kewang participates in the war, he will definitely be able to break the Wei thief." At this time, if Huainan withdraws its defenses, the Wei army finds that it is impossible to cross the river, and it will definitely increase its troops in Huguang, and then our previous efforts will be in vain. The minister thought that in the current situation, when the Huainan defenders were used to contain the Wei thieves, and the Wei thieves beat them, I would fight ours to see whether the Wei thieves crossed the river first, or whether we recovered Huguang first. ”

"This strategy of the Ruan Pavilion is too risky, and the minister does not approve of it!" Lu Zhenfei came out of the column and hugged his fist.

Ruan Dacheng said unhappily: "There is a water division in Jiangfang, even if Huainan is defeated, the Wei thieves will not be able to cross the river." What a risk. ”

Zhu Cihong was silent, he believed in the ability of the Ming army's water division, and there was also news from Huguang that the Ming army's water division defeated the Wei army's water division at Dongting Lake, and the Huaibei Wei army only had a Beiyang water division that had been established for less than a year, and Zhu Cihong did not believe that they would be the opponent of the Zheng family's water division.

"Alright. Don't make any noise! Zhu Cihong stood up with a resolute expression, "Huguang's rhythm can't be messed up, let Ma Shiying send troops to reinforce Runan, and the Huainan army will be strong and clear, and the Wei thief must be dragged in Huainan." ”
