Yang Yanchang was indeed ordered by Gao Yigong, and galloped all the way over to tell Wang Yanyu about the situation in Xiangyang, although Gao Yigong did not say that he wanted to ask for reinforcements, but Yang Yanchang knew in his heart that Gao Yigong had no bottom in his heart.

Xiangyang is indeed critical, but Gao Yigong and Wang Yan agreed to guard for two months, and now less than a month has passed, he has lost Fancheng, and he doesn't know if he can defend Xiangyang for another month.

After losing Fancheng, Gao Yigong was no longer full of confidence, but he didn't know what the situation in Wuchang was, and he wanted to ask for reinforcements but was afraid that Wang Yan would not be able to draw troops and destroy Wang Yan's overall situation, so he informed the situation in Xiangyang and let Wang Yan judge it himself.

At this time, Yang Yanchang heard Wang Yan's words, so he hugged his fists and replied gloomily: "Qi Guogong, the situation in Xiangyang is really not good, Wu Sangui used the strategy of fireboats, put down a hundred fireboats from the upper reaches of the Han River, burned two pontoon bridges, and cut off the connection between the two cities of Xiangfan, and then the Qing soldiers drove more than 100,000 people to fill the moat, and attacked the city with their backs, Vice General Liu and the last general and others, bloody battles for a month, collecting corpses and the city, and finally did not hold Fancheng, 15,000 loyal to the army, only Liu Vice General and the last general and other hundreds of people, Escape back to the south shore in a small boat~"

"Attacking the city with its backs?" Wang Yan's eyes narrowed, flashing with hatred, he heard that the Qing army would take Fancheng in a month, and almost all the defenders of Fancheng were annihilated, and Wu Sangui was very capable of fighting, and the Qing army's combat power was amazing.

A few decades ago, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still living a life of wool and blood in the mountains and wilderness, like savages, and their temperament was like wild beasts, with no humanity at all, and wherever they went, they would bring deep disasters to wherever they went.

Their occupation of Liaodong is a disaster for the Han people in Liaodong, and every time they enter the customs, they will leave behind deep sins.

In their eyes, the Han people are the objects of plunder and slaughter, they use the lives of the Han people to fill the moat and attack the city, there will be no guilt, they are so barbaric, they are such beasts.

Although the internal battles of the Han people were also very bloody, when the soldiers faced the people under the city, they could not be completely ruthless in their hearts when they faced the people under the city, watching them cry and pile baskets of dirt under the city, this is the difference between civilization and barbarism.

"Yes~" Yang Yanchang's eyes flashed with anger and said: "The Qing soldiers are simply inferior to beasts, Azig's men and horses, ravaging northwest Hubei, not only robbing grain, but also arresting the people, regardless of men, women and children, all forced to participate in the siege of the city, let them fill the moat, and then carry baskets to pile soil under the city wall, the people retreated, and were immediately killed by the Qing soldiers, and the pile of soil under the city was shot by us, it was really miserable." Our hearts are not as ruthless and inhumane as the Qing soldiers, and in the end they piled up a dirt slope that can directly enter the city, and the Qing soldiers took the opportunity to attack Fancheng, and Vice General Liu saw that the city had been broken, so he immediately ordered the city to be burned and defeated back to the south bank. ”

Yang Yanchang's short words depicted the course of the Battle of Fancheng, although he did not say it very carefully, or he deliberately avoided something, but Wang Yan knew that the Battle of Fancheng must be particularly tragic, and the people in northwest Hubei may be even more miserable than Wang Yan imagined.

After this battle, the vast land in the northwest of Hubei Province will be ten rooms and nine empty, and it will become a barren land without a rooster crying for thousands of miles.

"What about the situation in Xiangyang now?" Wang Yan asked with a heavy face.

"Wu Sangui and Azig have already built a pontoon bridge upstream, preparing to cross the river to attack Xiangyang, with the brutality of the Qing soldiers, I am afraid it is the previous way of fighting, they have harmed the people on the north bank of the Han River, and the people on the south bank may not be able to escape this catastrophe."

Wang Yan heard what Yang Yanchang meant, the Qing soldiers would not pity the lives of the people at all, he would force the people to fill the city again, and use the corpses of the people to pile up a road to the head of Xiangyang City for them.

Although Xiangyang City is three feet high, it does not need soil, and the corpses of tens of thousands of people can be piled higher than the city wall.

This is the way of fighting of the Mengyuan and Song dynasties, and the battle of Changzhou that year was like this, which was extremely shameless.

Wang Yan couldn't help but angrily put his palm on Zhuo's case, he stood up and scolded in his mouth: "Human-faced beast heart ~ human-faced beast heart ~"

Yang Yanchang and Liu Fangliang on the side saw this, and their hearts were equally heavy.

At this time, Wang Yan was not only worried about the people of the northwestern provinces of Hubei Province, but also the compassion of the scholars, which did make him hate the dirty practice of the Qing soldiers attacking the city with the people, but he had experienced such a war, and was no longer an ordinary literati, but a decisive commander, so when he was compassionate to the people, he also recognized Liu Tichun's practice of shooting and killing the people who filled the city.

This is war, this is how cruel it is.

Wang Yan is most worried about Xiangyang City now, whether he can hold it for another month as agreed.

At this time, Wang Yan couldn't help but weigh it in his heart, there were 100,000 Qing soldiers attacking Xiangyang, and among them, Wu Sangui and Azig were extremely difficult to deal with, and there were no comparable soldiers and horses, Wang Yan was really not sure to fight against the Qing soldiers on the North Road.

Now there are nearly 160,000 troops gathered around Wuchang, but more than 50,000 of them can only wave their flags and shout, and they can only be strong, and the combat power of 60,000 people in He Tengjiao's department is only average, and what can really compete with the elite of the Qing army is the 50,000 horses in Wang Yan's hands.

If he divides his troops to save Xiangyang at this time, and if he goes less, he will send food to Azig and want to compete with the Qing soldiers on the North Road, then he will have to divide his troops at least 100,000, but in this way, Wuchang will not be able to fight.

Jiangnan and Jiangxi are in the hands of the Qing army, Wuchang is very important, if Wuchang is occupied, Wang Yan only needs to put 20,000 horses, can block the Qing army into the interior of Huguang.

If Wuchang is not taken, in case the Qing soldiers send troops and horses into Chu again, they can use Wuchang as the foundation and copy Wang Yan's back road.

Wang Yan was in the tent, walking back and forth, thinking about it in his heart, and finally he decided that he had to gamble time with the Qing soldiers to see who would take the city first.

"Zi Zhan, you immediately rush back to Xiangyang, tell Bizheng, let him hold on for another twenty days no matter what, and this governor will break through Wuchang, and immediately wave his army to the north to help."

Yang Yanchang heard this, although Wang Yan only raised the deadline for ten days, he knew that perhaps because of these ten days, Wuchang City might have to die nearly ten thousand more soldiers.

"The last general commands!" Yang Yanchang had been in the dust all the way, and he had rested, but he didn't dare to slack off at this time, and hurriedly saluted. "I'll return to Xiangyang."

After Yang Yanchang finished speaking, he said goodbye and left, and Wang Yan immediately asked the guards to summon the chess and card officials and said: "Wait for the speed of the horse to send a message to Xunyang, Chengtian and other places, and immediately bring the people outside the city into the city to strictly prevent the Qing army from looting." ”
