Dadu and a group of Manmeng Eight Banners ran away early, and it was Wang Ying, the general of the Green Battalion, who stayed in the city to defend the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Qing army was besieged for more than a month, and after more than 20 days, it began to run out of food, and now it has been out of food for more than 20 days, war horses, mules and other livestock have been killed, and the rats and cockroaches in the city have been eaten up, and the Qing soldiers are so hungry that they can't even hold knives. In order to survive, the bark, rice bran, wheat bran, and leaves were eaten.

In fact, if the soldiers defending the city have the determination to fight to the death, even if the food is completely cut off, the city can be defended for a few more months. But the Qing army in the city had no fighting spirit: why did the Manchurians run away, but left themselves to die?

Many Qing soldiers quietly slid down the city at night and went out of the city to surrender to the Ming army outside. Later, Wang Ying tried his best to suppress it, killing many Qing soldiers who tried to escape but were caught, but he still could not prevent the Qing army from escaping from the city overnight and surrendering to the Ming army outside the city.

Yuan Erhan got out of his room, he was originally white and fat, he lost more than 20 pounds at once, his face turned dark, and the originally full vestibule would also be sharp. He was a member of the White Banner of the Han Army, and his father Yuan Wenbi was the widow of a famous person. After his grandfather was chopped alive by Chongzhen, the concubine gave birth to his father.

Originally, Yuan Wenbi let his son make military achievements and let him come to Fengyang to participate in the war. As a result, he did not expect the Qing army to be defeated, Yuan Erhan failed to escape in time, and was besieged in the city by the Ming army.

"Hold out for a few more days, and our reinforcements will be here soon!" This is what Wang Ying said to the Qing army defending the city.

However, Yuan Erhan, who was the leader of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, knew very well that there could be no reinforcements, and Dadu had already fled, saying that he wanted to hold on to the Hongze Lake embankment. Bahai to the west? It is impossible to come to the rescue! Wu Sangui's Northern Expedition, Bahai was in a hurry, and it was difficult to protect himself, how could it be possible to save Fengyang?

Yuan Erhan's confidence in the Qing court gradually faded, and he began to doubt, and with suspicion came despair. After coming out of his house, he walked aimlessly down the street as if he had lost his soul.

The patrols in the city had already withdrawn, because the Green Battalion soldiers no longer had the strength to patrol back and forth every day, and they were now mostly huddled in their houses, waiting miserably for death to come.

"Could it be that Cang Tian really doesn't bless me anymore?" Yuan Erhan looked up to the sky and sighed sadly.

Since Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he changed the Houjin to the Qing Dynasty, and the luck of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been so good that it bursts. There are rogues inside the Ming Dynasty, and there are Jiannu outside, and under the attack of internal and external troubles, Chongzhen finally chose a crooked neck tree.

His grandfather was slashed by Chongzhen with a thousand knives, and Yuan Erhan, like his father, naturally hated Chongzhen. And their father and son were loyal to the Manchus, not only because the Manchus indirectly helped them avenge, but more importantly, the Manchus' luck was too good.

Yuan Erhan didn't think that Chongzhen died at the hands of the Liukou, because if there was no Manchu Qing outside the Guan, the Liukou would have been wiped out by the Ming army long ago, how could he attack the capital?

Later, the army entered the capital, Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and after the Qing army entered the customs, the luck was so good that it exploded. The Han people were not united with each other, killed each other, and demolished each other, giving the Qing army the opportunity to dominate the world. But when the Manchu Qing Dynasty was about to rule the world, a guy named Wang Yu suddenly appeared.

This guy is simply the nemesis of the Manchus, since he appeared, the Manchus' good luck has run out, they will lose every battle, and they will lose their cities and lands again and again.

"Your Excellency!" A Han soldier Qi Goshha came out of the courtyard and saluted Yuan Erhan, "I have made some food, please go in and rest for a while and eat something." ”

Yuan Erhan walked into the courtyard with difficulty, but saw that the doors and windows in the courtyard were gone, and they were cut down and burned as firewood. The wooden furniture in the house was also missing, and several Qing soldiers were setting up ladders to climb up the roof to dismantle the wooden beams, which were probably split and burned as firewood.

There was billowing smoke in the room, and a large iron pot was boiling on top of the stove.

Yuan Erhan saw that his Goshha was cutting off the cowhide on a piece of armor, washing it with water, and then cutting it into small pieces with scissors. So he asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"My lord, this is cowhide, a good thing!" A Goshha said.

One of the men brought a bowl of food. Yuan Erhan glanced at the dark bowl, only to see that it was a bowl of soup that was boiled very thickly, and there were some strips in it, which seemed to be animal skins or something.

Yuan Erhan took a sip of the bowl, the taste was very difficult to drink, the tanned skin was extremely hard, no matter how much it was boiled, it was not easy to soften, and when it was made, it was treated with various medicines such as alkali and miscanthus nitrate, and there was a strange smell in the mouth when eating. The skin cut from the leather armor is very hard, and it is difficult to bite off.

The leader of the gang said apologetically: "My lord, it's okay for us to eat leather armor, but the other brothers dug up the cotton in the cotton armor and ate it, and I heard that some people even started to eat dead human flesh!" ”

At this moment, the smell of food suddenly wafted from outside the city, which seemed to be the smell of cooking leek dumplings.

"It smells so good!" Many Qing soldiers climbed up to the top of the city to watch the outside of the city, greedily smelling the smell of food wafting in the air. Smelling the fragrance, my stomach became more hungry and let out a cooing sound.

The northwest wind was blowing in this season, and the besieging Ming army planted a stove in the northwest direction. Standing at the head of the city, you can see that the Ming army not far away is making dumplings and boiling braised pork.

Yuan Erhan also climbed to the top of the city, he picked up the telescope and looked at the Ming army camp outside the city, only to see fresh fish hanging in the Ming army camp, hanging fresh ribs, all the Ming soldiers were busy, some people were cooking dumplings, some people were rolling dough, and some people were making dumplings. The big steamer is steaming, and I don't know what good things are steaming inside; There is heat bubbling from a large iron pot, and you can smell the aroma of braised pork from afar.

The camp of the Ming army was not far from the Fengyang city wall, only two hundred steps away, and the smell of food could waft over.

"What a vicious man! He actually used this method to shake the hearts of our army! Yuan Erhan licked his chapped lips, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and scolded angrily.

At this moment, hundreds of Ming soldiers outside the city walked a hundred steps away, raised their voices and shouted to the city: "Brothers of the Qing soldiers in the city! Everyone is Han! Your Manchurian lord has long since left you and run away! Why do you still have to work for the Tartars? Come to us! As long as you come over, the steaming dumplings are full, and the fragrant braised pork can be eaten as you like! Wang Ying, that dog traitor, refuses to surrender, he has no good end! As long as you come, we will treat you as brothers! ”

"What for!" Wang Ying took his own soldiers to the top of the city, "Come down!" Don't stand at the head of the city! ”
