was delayed by Han Dai, and the speed of the troops slowed down. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: щ.

In the meantime, scouts continued to bring the news from the front, and the flow was like water: "Tell Baylor that our army has advanced to Shugang, only twenty miles away from Yangzhou City. ”

"Tell the fourteenth Baylor, the Ming dogs have all shrunk into the city, the 'gate' of Yangzhou City is closed, the walls outside the city are clear, the wells have been filled, the trees have been cut down, and even the houses have been demolished."

"Baylor, our army has gone forward, without any resistance, everything is going well."

……

"It's finally here, after walking for so many days, I finally got to the ground, and as long as I arrived, I won half of it

。 Duoduo was in a better mood and gently stroked the horse's mane.

Not only him, but everyone else was smiling.

The group of old men under Han Dai even jumped off the horse to stretch their muscles, and some even 'touched' a sweat towel to carefully wipe the muddy water on their faces, just like a little daughter-in-law.

Han Dai shook his head: "This Ming army is really unbearable, and it retreats so fast." However, Shi Kefa hated it when he came to Jianbi Qingye, and our army didn't even have a house to live in. ”

Duoduo couldn't help but sarcastically come: "Shangshu still wants to live in a big mansion, with a clean 'bed' and hot water, how can there be so much attention to marching and fighting, the army is camped and has its own tent." ”

Han Dai disagreed: "This is muddy everywhere, and the soldier's water is not very comfortable in the wet tent, it will affect morale." Also, the wells were filled in, and the water from the ditches was not clean. Also, after the strong wall is cleared, if you want to attack the city, what will you use to make siege equipment, Duoduo, don't say that I just want to be comfortable. ”

This was reasonable, but Duoduo retorted: "Han Dai, you really haven't fought for many years, and you don't know what the current war is all about. Nowadays, who still uses ants to attack the city, not to mention the dead, it is also time-consuming and laborious. Attacking a city like Yangzhou, if you use the old method, you can't do it in a month or two. Now, the use of new tactics is only three to five days. ”

"Three or five days, how is it possible?" Han Dai was startled and asked, "I wish to hear it." ”

Duoduo: "Directly set up a cannon bombardment, gather the red-clothed cannons at hand, and bombard a city wall, and it will only take a few days to blow up a gap in the city wall." In this attack on Hongguang Xiaoer, the reason why Dolgon called Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming to 'hand' over to me was waiting for this day. ”

After the surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty after the Denglai Rebellion, they brought almost the entire Ming Dynasty's firearms troops and artillery to Liaodong. After the Qing army entered the customs, a large number of red-coated cannons were captured in western Liaoning and Shanhaiguan. It can be said that today's Duoduo is the field army with the largest number of artillery pieces in Northeast Asia.

"I see, but what about Kong Youde?" Han Dai asked again.

This rhetorical question, Duoduo was stunned, and only said after a while: "Yesterday morning, I listened to the Malay newspaper, Kong Youde's department was in Shangguanqiao, and Geng Zhongming's department was in Tianchang

。 From yesterday to now, there has been no news, and it is not known where they have gone. Estimate...... It is estimated that you will be able to arrive in Yangzhou in two or three days! ”

Yes, the team is too spread out, and the road is too bad. A 'door' of red-clothed cannons, how come there are twenty or thirty people, four or five mules and horses 'waiting', walking step by step, and being able to walk five or six miles a day is considered a speed. Soon, these two firearms units fell behind the large army.

The problem was that these two forces were full of valuable guys, and they were slow to move, so they had to send a large army to protect his flanks. As a result, the marching troops of the troops were greatly delayed.

Han Dai also felt that this matter was a bit bad, and sighed: "The troops are dragging on too long, and the troops are thin, don't let the Ming army choose the cheapest, especially Kong and Geng Geng." ”

Duoduo: "I've thought about this, their side is close to Huang Degong's Lu Fengjun. Therefore, I sent the Baiyin Tubu over. "Yin Baitu is another solid mountain Ezhen with a white flag, and he is also Duoduo's henchman.

Han Dai: "I'm not worried about Kong and Geng. Although the movements of the two-toed army were slow, the two men were very careful, and because the troops were full and complete, the enemy could not please them. I'm worried about the direction of Yangzhou, and there are only about 100 people left in our Chinese army......"

In the end, he was still worried about his own safety, and Duoduo disdainful of it in his heart, interrupting him: "Lord Shangshu, what are you afraid of, how many people can there be in Yangzhou City, Shi Kefa has blocked the city 'gate', does he dare to go out of the city to fight?" It only takes one day's work, we can gather more than 10,000 soldiers, now you and I should first find a dry and ventilated place to set up the old camp! ”

After speaking, he waved his hand to the back and said to a 'squire' guard: "You go and inform the army behind, and it will be to the ground, let them move closer to me." “

"On the contrary, there is nothing to worry about in Yangzhou City." Han Dai: "I'm afraid that Sun Yuan's Ningxiang army will suddenly kill and smash our old camp." ”

Sun Yuan is really a name that makes people unhappy when they hear it. Duoduo felt a pang in his heart, according to the 'waiter' Hou, the vanguard of the Ningxiang Army is now stationed in the area of Wanshou Town, which is not too far from Yangzhou, and the morning and evening are just away. If Sun Yuanxun takes this opportunity to cross the Grand Canal and reach Yangzhou, it will indeed be a big trouble.

He thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I've already guarded against him, and I've already ordered Nikan to move in the east with his soldiers and horses." ”

Nikan called Aisin Jueluo? Nikan is a minister of the Qing Dynasty, the grandson of the old Khan King Nurhachi, and the third son of Guangluo Belle Chuying

。 This person is the third generation of the Qing royal family, but he is already in his forties, a veteran of the battlefield, and now he is serving as the new Qing Dynasty's Ministry of Rites.

"With Nikan here, there's nothing to worry about."

Han Dai is a cautious person, and he doesn't know if it's because of sinicization, or because he's old, and he wants to ask about the situation of Nikanbu.

Duoduo began to get impatient: "Don't you know the situation of Nikan, in addition to the 'elite' of the Eight Banners, there are also 'Mongolian' ancient tribes and foreign feudal troops, there are many cavalry, coming and going like the wind, with him, the battlefield within a radius of a hundred miles is under his control, don't worry." ”

"That's good, that's good." Han Dai said again: "Duoduo, it's not me talking about Doha, look at this weather and this road, Kong Youde and Geng 'Jing' Zhong's cannons don't know when they will fall, they will be suspended within three or five days, and if Yangzhou can't be opened as soon as possible, we will be in trouble." ”

"What's the trouble?" Dordor squinted at him.

Han Dai picked up a stick and drew it on the mud floor: "The city wall of Yangzhou is high and thick, and it is unrealistic for ants to attack the city. Kong and Geng couldn't get there for a while. So, we're going to have to get stuck here. Jiangbei is indeed a flat river, but the terrain outside Yangzhou City is a little treacherous. You see, to the east is Shugang, and the Ningxiang army is over there. To the west is the copper mountain, and the soldiers and horses of the Yizheng Huang Degong are still completed, and the war is also successful. To the south are Yangzhou and the Yangtze River, and we stay here as if we were in a bag. If Sun Yuan and Huang Degong squeezed towards the middle at the same time, we wouldn't be made dumplings, and there seemed to be something wrong with your dismissal in this battle. ”

"And what do you mean?" Duoduo was greatly unhappy in his heart, and looked at Han Dai with a sneer.

Han Dai: "I mean, it's better to solve Huang and Sun first, especially the Ningxiang Army, with him on his side, it's really like a thorn in the back!" ”

"Shut up, I'm afraid that Sun Yuan won't come to make my dumplings!" Duoduo finally had a seizure: "Lord Shangshu, what art of war do you know, over the years, I have fought all the battles in our state, and I know better than you." Indeed, it is possible for Sun Yuan to attack to the west, but what about it, don't look at it, Zhun Pagoda has now entered Huai'an, and it is about to go south. He Sun Yuan came to make my dumplings, so he didn't want me to fight against the surroundment? Hey! ”

As he spoke, he laughed loudly: "Sun Yuan is too cunning, if I let him go this time, it will be a big trouble for me to go southeast in the future." It's better to leave him in Jiangbei and eat it in one go. Therefore, Lao Tzu is trying to use himself as a 'lure' bait, and 'lure' Huang Degong and Sun Yuan to the city of Yangzhou, and then come to a counter-encirclement. In this battle, Lao Tzu just wanted to come to the center to bloom 'flowers' and eat all the soldiers who could fight in the Ming Dynasty

。 Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it. ”

He was a mouthful, and Han Dai's heart was on fire when he heard it, the two brothers Dolgon and Duoduo were so arrogant that they didn't know how to respect the old man at all.

Damn, that's it, Lao Tzu doesn't bother to pay attention to him.

At that moment, Han Dai didn't talk nonsense anymore, and led his officials around to find a clean residence. It was also his luck that he found a landlord's manor outside Yangzhou, took a comfortable hot bath, and soaked in a pot of this year's Longjing, he felt that this life was still very good. The previous days of trekking in the mud and the poisonous sun overhead were simply pigs' days!

Unlike his comfort and comfort, Duoduo was a diligent man, who ran in the mud for a day, and finally gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and set up an old camp that stretched for seven miles outside the city of Yangzhou.

This is the beginning, and in the next few days, many follow-up troops will arrive one after another.

Duoduo verbally ridiculed Han Dai for being lazy and disgusting, not like a Jianzhou man. But after hearing that Han Dai had renovated such a good place, he came to take a look, and decided not to leave, and moved the Chinese army into this manor.

Han Dai is an old-fashioned person, and he is not as vindictive as this young man, but vacates the courtyard where he lived first and makes a festival for Duoduo.

It is strange to say that Duoduo camped outside the city, dug trenches, and built earth mountains, and the construction of the state army was also a "chaos" and "chaos", and the command was not smooth, but the Ming army in the city did not have any intention of going out of the city to fight.

"It's really cowardly, this Ming army has lost the soul of the general in countless defeats one after another, for more than ten years." Han Dai commented: This will be another boring war, maybe many years later, my memory of this war will only be the dirt in the muddy water and the heat under the scorching sun!

Like the defenders in Yangzhou City, Yizhen's Huang Degong Department seemed to be frightened by Duoduo's army, and they didn't dare to go out of the city in Yizhen City.

According to the scout's report, the entire Ningxiang army from Gaoyou to Taizhou, a total of more than 20,000 people, stretched out a long line and pressed towards Yangzhou.

Duoduo hurriedly ordered Nikan to the east, asking him to monitor the movements of the Ningxiang army, and if he had the opportunity, look for an opportunity to eat one of them first.

Like Huai'an, Yangzhou, the curtain of the war opened.
