Chapter 300 Yan Yingyuan Hitting the wall is also a way to brake
"Fu Lata personally led a team of armored double-armored warriors to attack first, but they were all killed by the Ming army. These Nanman barbarians are usually not the most cowardly! Who can tell me why the Nanbarbarians in Jiangyin City
You will be so brave and not afraid of death!"
After hearing the news of Fu Lata's death from Shang Shan, Duduo was stunned and couldn't help but begin to doubt his life.
Another high-ranking general of the Qing army was killed in battle. Although he was not Beizi, he was still the younger brother of Beizi. He was considered a strong general in the clan. He also joined so many warriors to fight and charge, and finally got this result.
It’s so demoralizing!
To be honest, even if Fu Lata risked his life to attack first and gain a foothold, the Qing army actually had no chance. Because the total number of Ming troops and Jiangyin volunteers in the city was almost the entire Qing army.
Three times!
When these 200,000 men are united and dare not retreat even if they enter into street fighting, then it doesn't matter if the Qing army breaks through the city wall!
What's more, they haven't broken through yet, and the seemingly dangerous situation on the city wall is still far, far away from the Qing army's hope of truly breaking through the city.
However, this experience also gave the Qing army a great shock. Anyone who was lucky enough to come back alive and fell into the wall before escaping had some psychological trauma, because they had never seen the Han people in the south fight so hard.
.
Even if the body has been penetrated by a sharp blade, his arms still have to rely on the last pulse of the nerve reflex to swing the stone at the head of the dog!
Even if the brain has lost control of the body, the spinal cord still has to push forward and take over to complete the final mission of these few seconds, controlling the body to burn the residual heat of life to the extreme!
If you shave your hair and change clothes, you will not subjugate your country, but you will subjugate the world!
The rise and fall, everyone is responsible!
The momentum of united efforts and a disregard for death completely suffocated the Tatars, forcing them to doubt their life.
In the main tent of the Qing army, all the generals could see Duduo's unwillingness to be extremely angry, so incomprehensible that even the planner Zhang Cunren had some lingering feelings for Yu Ji, and he was also resentful of his pig teammates.
So, after a short and frightening silence, Zhang Cunren half shirked responsibility and half analyzed with sincere disgust:
"Your Majesty, it seems that we made a mistake before - in Jiangyin City, most of the people gathered here were unruly people who had extremely hated the Qing Dynasty for shaving their hair and obeying orders.
Many of them have already broken through once and escaped from the butcher knife of the Qing Dynasty. They probably all have blood feuds and just don't want to shave their heads to change their clothes. Maybe our hair-cutting order was issued a little early.
There is still no time to disintegrate the arms and will of more Han people before giving the order."
Duduo didn't want to admit that the Han people had become so bloody, so Zhang Cunren gave him a step up, and he finally grasped this straw so that his faith would not collapse.
At the same time, in order to brainwash himself and protect the solidified view in his mind that "Manchu men are bloody men, and Southern barbarians are just cowards", his eyes subconsciously revealed a fierce light that chooses and devours others.
He glanced ferociously around the big tent for half a circle,
Seeing Sun Zhixian shivering at the side, staring at his nose and nose, not daring to look up, Duduo was furious. He rushed over with a lunge, and his other leg flew directly and smoothly into the air with a heavy kick.
Kicked Sun Zhixie in the chest:
"You're a useless slave! You're ruining my king's affairs! You're ruining our great Qing Dynasty!"
Sun Zhixian was a civil servant who didn't have much training, and he was already fifty-four years old. How could he withstand Duduo's angry kick in the air?
Of course, he was kicked back two steps and hit the pillars of the big tent behind him before he stopped. He screamed and spit out a mouthful of blood, which stained Dodo's leather boots and armored robe.
Hem.
When Duduo saw that his robes and boots were stained with blood, he wanted to kick him again. Fortunately, Wanyan Ye Chen and Zhang Cunren knew the seriousness and quickly came up to persuade the other:
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Although Shilang Sun is guilty, his original intention is to provide advice for the court. Even if he makes mistakes, he will not die. What's more, there is a powerful enemy at hand. It may be detrimental to people's hearts to liquidate the advisers at this time!"
Duduo was pulled for a moment and calmed down. He realized that Sun Zhixian, an old man in his fifties, was afraid that he would belch if he couldn't withstand a few more kicks from him, so he decided to settle the matter first and said bitterly:
"Pull this corrupt loser down!"
Zhang Cunren glanced at Sun Zhixian who was being carried down. When he passed by him, he stretched out his hand to test his breathing and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he was not dead yet.
Regardless of whether he could survive after being treated by military doctors after being carried back, as long as he didn't die on the spot, it would not be considered as being punished and killed by the prince, and other counselors would not be in danger.
As for the life and death of Sun Zhixian's physical body, Zhang Cunren actually didn't care, he only cared about the influence.
A civil servant like Sun Zhixian, who came from the Ministry of Rites, was nothing more than a rotten Confucian, and was of no use for military planning. There was no shortage of plans for him to "educate and naturalize the people after the war".
After Duduo got angry, he calmed down a little and knew that he had to look forward, so he humbly asked his staff again for advice and let everyone work together to see if they should adjust the siege strategy.
Several civil servants and staff were so frightened by Sun Zhixian's fate that they did not dare to make any suggestions.
In the end, there were only a few mediocre talents with the lowest status and no chance to speak. With the mentality of seeking wealth and wealth at risk, they wanted to show their faces, but what they said made Duduo very dissatisfied:
"Your Majesty... how about we try to bypass Jiangyin and continue eastward? Although Wuxi is muddy and difficult to navigate, at worst, we can go directly to Luyuan and then to Suzhou, completely ruining Jiangnan?"
When Duduo heard such unreliable words, he laughed angrily: "Idiot! Do you think Jiangyin is so easy to circumvent? Yes, our army really doesn't have to worry about food routes at the moment. We can grab and eat wherever we can.
But in the counties behind Jiangyin, how can we not be careful about the strong walls and clear the fields? It is the twelfth lunar month of winter, how much food can we grab from the countryside? We don’t have to attack the city!
If Jiangyin cannot be captured, Zhu Shuren's main force will follow Danyang and Wujin. If he finds that our army is going to divide his troops and bypass Jiangyin, can he not come up and bite our army?
Huanggong Mountain and Huishan Mountain are blocking the way, and the roads are muddy and difficult to navigate. Can our 60,000 to 70,000 troops and horses bypass Jiangyin at the same time and overnight? If the front army bypasses, the troops behind the troops have not yet left, and Cao Bianjiao's cavalry suddenly jumps in and defeats them.
So what?
Only by capturing Jiangyin County will we not have to worry about Zhu Shuren’s pursuit! In turn, our army can take advantage of the dangerous obstacles in Jiangyin to block the pursuers in the west. Even if the Ming army can take a detour by water from Taihu Lake, at least our army can move!"
Duduo's words made those unknown aides who sought wealth and wealth so ashamed that they no longer dared to propose strategies that were obviously ignorant of soldiers.
However, these suggestions are not completely useless. For example, Zhang Cunren next to him took the opportunity to analyze Duduo's mentality, and also got some inspiration from Duduo's answers to those people, which was considered a brainstorming session.
Zhang Cunren had an idea and added a suggestion: "Your Majesty, please be patient. Although their family's words cannot be used, they are for the sake of the court, and they are also quite enlightening.
Our army cannot take the risk of bypassing Jiangyin at the moment, leaving the Zhu Shu people with every opportunity to attack. But this does not mean that if we are really unlucky in attacking the city in the future, we cannot pretend to go around the city and not look at each other to lure them.
Zhu Shuren pursued, but in fact our army did not circle the city, it was just to lure the enemy into an opportunity for a decisive battle in the field!
Moreover, this deception can also be used to draw inferences from one instance to other cases. For example, when our siege is unfavorable, we can pretend to go around and ignore the future. We can also use Jiangyin to be completely surrounded and have no information from inside and outside, and directly attack the city when the siege is unfavorable.
Pretending that things were going well, Zhu Shuren mistakenly believed that Jiangyin was in danger, so he had no choice but to fight with us Qingjin for rescue.
Whether it is to show weakness and pretend to surround the city or to show strength that the city is about to be breached, it can be used as a forcing battle technique to encircle a point and bring reinforcements!"
These words finally spoke to Duduo's heart. Indeed, even at this moment, Duduo still confidently felt that the Qing army was invincible in the field!
There is no other reason. He has lost three out of three battles now, but these three battles are all battles that the Qing army has to attack! This shows that the Ming army is very afraid of fighting with the elites of the Qing Dynasty! Even if the opponent has more than twice his number
Even three times, I am still afraid of fighting in the wild!
Isn't it just a difference of two or three times in numbers? In Duduo's eyes, this is not a problem in field battles! How many times was the Ming army larger than the Qing army in the Battle of Saarhu? How many times more powerful was the Ming army in the Battle of Songshan?
Aren’t they all killed by the Qing army?
Duduo had to sigh: "This theory is still correct, but Jiangyin still needs to be attacked, but since it cannot be attacked quickly, it is necessary to save some strength. Shangshan is not allowed to send any more generals above Jia Lazhangjing to take the lead! This is
Yan Yingyuan is so good at rallying the troops' morale, I'm afraid I won't be able to scare these southern barbarians, so don't be so brave and aggressive!"
…
The Qing army realized that it could not frighten the Ming army through cruelty and ferocity, so they did not dare to use many desperate and ruthless tactics. Because they all knew that using them again would be a waste of human lives and would not be effective.
Many tactics are inefficient and unworthy in terms of casualty exchange ratio and protracted battle. Their only value is to fight fiercely and destroy the enemy with momentum.
The courage of the Ming army not only caused the Qing army to give up some attempts, but also caused a big blow to the morale of the Qing army itself.
In the next seven or eight days, or even half a month, the Qing army returned to a low-intensity and steady attack under Jiangyin City. The several forward triangular fortresses that Yan Yingyuan left in the west of the city gradually collapsed as the Qing army dug tunnels and blasted them at all costs.
of.
But the overall situation was still under Yan Yingyuan's control. He knew that according to this progress, it would take a long time for the Qing army to capture Jiangyin.
But the actions of the Qing army were obviously not just on the battlefield. Duduo also used the strategies Zhang Cunren taught Duduo simultaneously.
For example, it was clear that the attack on Jiangyin was not going well, but Duduo had people spread rumors that Jiangyin was about to be captured, and even released some shaved refugees who did not know the truth to further create panic.
Considering that Jiangyin City was indeed surrounded like an iron barrel, with no information from inside and outside, and not even a fly could fly out, the Ming army in the distance outside the encirclement really had no way of verifying Duduo's deception.
