Chapter 677: News from Zilharan

"How can this be true? Outrageous! Yu Neng, a stupid man, actually let the Ming army take Zhending Mansion in one night, and Zhending Mansion has tens of thousands of troops! ”

Duoduo's fury thundered, roaring incessantly.

He Luohui on the side said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, things are definitely not as you imagined, you think, 10,000 troops, even if the Ming army sneaks attack, it is not something that can be taken overnight Even if there are people in the Zhending Mansion, it will not make people easily break through the city wall, the city wall of the Zhending Mansion is taller than the Daimyo Mansion, unless heavy artillery is used, otherwise, it is impossible to be taken by the Ming army so quickly, not to mention that Yu Neng bravely crowns the three armies, and the strength is incomparable, even if there are few people in the Manchurian army who can compete with Yu Neng!" ”

"Needless to say, it must be Qin Mufeng who led the army north! Among the Ming army, except for Xu Yifan, who was sitting in Weihui Mansion, there was only this Qin Mufeng! ”

Duoduo said hatefully.

"Not bad!"

Tan Tai replied: "Lord Wang, only a fierce general like Qin Mufeng can defeat Yu Neng, the problem is, we didn't get any information, saying that a large number of infantry appeared in the territory, if the Ming army bombarded Zhending Mansion, it should have been discovered by our scouts a long time ago, it is impossible to let them run to Zhending Mansion, from Dongchang Mansion to Zhending Mansion is a distance of three or four hundred miles, the artillery is extremely heavy, it will take at least seven or eight days, and the army can only reach Zhending Mansion day and night, how can they avoid our eyes?" ”

Duoduo was also puzzled, without artillery, no matter how powerful Qin Mufeng was, he wouldn't be able to fly into Zhending Mansion, right?

"King Pingnan, what do you think of this matter?"

Dodor asked.

Wu Sangui pondered for a moment, and replied in a deep voice: "There is only one possibility, Qin Mufeng used a powerful firearm, this kind of thing, the minister has long heard of it, when Zhu Jie was born, he used a kind of gunpowder twice to bombard the defense of the city wall, this is not a kind of heavy artillery, what is it, the minister is not clear, however, it is certain that this firearm is easy to carry, one or two people can easily take the action, Xiangcheng battle, originally Li Zicheng had the advantage, and the army of two thousand people besieged Sun Chuanting, It was because Zhu Jie suddenly bombed the city wall of Xiangcheng with this firearm, took Xiangcheng in one fell swoop, and took Li Zicheng's lair, so that Li Zicheng had to retreat to Xiangyang strangely! ”

Hiss......

A few people gasped, just one or two people can blow up the city wall with a firearm, this thing is too powerful, when the two armies face each other, it is definitely a big killer that affects the entire battle situation!

"Then, if such a weapon really exists, there will be no way to fight this battle, and one day Xu Yifan will also give us a visit, and our Daimyo Mansion will not be able to bear it......"

Tan Tai's face was full of bitterness, his heart palpitated, Duoduo and He Luo would nod again and again, this power is too great, it is simply unguardable, once the barrier of the city wall is lost, no city will dare to say that it is impregnable......

"Of course, the minister guesses that even the Ming army does not have many of this kind of weapon, otherwise, as early as the attack on Yanzhou Mansion and Dongchang Mansion, the Ming army will use it directly, and there is no need to wait until this time!"

Wu Sangui continued.

Duoduo nodded, Wu Sangui was right, if it was really this kind of weapon that could be supplied in unlimited quantities, then the Qing Dynasty would only have to obediently withdraw from the pass, and it would not be able to win at all, no matter how strong the city wall was, it was the same as paper paste, so what was the point of fighting?

"Stop talking so much nonsense!"

Ao Bai hurriedly said: "Lord, everyone, the problem now is that the Zhending Mansion has been lost, and the grain road from Hejian to the Daimyo Mansion has been threatened by the unknown forces of the Ming army, and we cannot get the grain and grass supply in the rear on time, in the Daimyo Mansion, our 100,000 troops can't even support half a month, there is no grain and grass, and the army's heart is unstable, so there will be a big mess!" Moreover, the Ming army occupies Zhending Mansion, and our contact with the Beijing division is completely cut off, Jierharang is still far away in western Henan, at least hundreds of miles away from us, and the army is lonely, if Xu Yifan and the Ming army in Dongchang Mansion take the opportunity to launch a counterattack against us, what should we do? ”

"What to do? Naturally, it is at all costs to snatch back the Zhending Mansion! ”

Duoduo said viciously, "I think now that the Jingshi has received the news, the regent will not sit idly by, and will definitely send elite forces to besiege Zhending Mansion!" We can't be idle, Aobai, and Gao Di immediately led five thousand Guanning iron cavalry, brought artillery to the north, and besieged Zhending Mansion! Since Qin Mufeng led his troops to Zhending Mansion, the defense of Dongchang Mansion is empty, Tan Tai, you and Wu Sangui led 30,000 elites to besiege Dongchang Mansion again, and you must take Dongchang Mansion down to me no matter what! Qin Mufeng cut off our way of return, then we will completely block Qin Mufeng's way of return, and see if he Qin Mufeng dies first, or I Duoduo dies first! ”

Of course, Duoduo is full of confidence, now that the Daimyo Mansion has recruited new troops, the strength is still maintained at more than 100,000 people, even if it sends 20,000 or 30,000 troops, it can still ensure that the Daimyo's Mansion is as stable as Mount Tai, the only problem is that the grain and grass are gone, and if you can't get the supplement of grain and grass, then the Daimyo Mansion is really dangerous!

"Lord Wang, if we stay in the Daimyo's Mansion, then the army can support a few more days, once the troops are divided to attack Dongchang Mansion, Dongchang Mansion is surrounded by water, but it is not a short time to be able to take down, once the grain and grass are scarce, the army's heart is shaken, our 100,000 army is in danger of overturning......"

He Luo will say urgently.

Duoduo's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said fiercely: "Not enough food and grass? Then the army plundered the grain, and immediately ordered the prefect of Shunde Prefecture to give him three days to raise 10,000 stone of grain for the king, even if it is a robbery, it must be grabbed for me, if there is no food, then give me livestock! There is also Zhangde Mansion, the same is true, three days, 10,000 stone grain, within ten days, must be sent to the Daimyo's Mansion, this time Lao Tzu and their Ming army consumed! ”

Zhangde Mansion and Shunde Mansion are just two inferior mansions, with a population of only tens of thousands, and it is impossible to make up 10,000 stone of grain, even if you dig three feet into the ground, it is enough to choke, Duoduo gave an order, this is completely regardless of the life and death of the people, Duoduo is arrogant and ferocious, and now he is facing danger, and he once again shows his fangs!

As soon as Duoduo's order was issued, a scout quickly ran into the yamen, knelt on the ground, and said urgently: "Prince Qiyu, we just got the news of Prince Zhuang, and now Prince Zhuang has led the army of the West Road into Henan, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Luoyang, I believe that Luoyang City will not take it in two or three days, and wave the troops directly at Kaifeng Mansion!" ”
