"Join vertical and horizontal, entangle all the forces in the world, and surround and kill the Qing Dynasty from all directions."
"Your Majesty's plan is really quick!"
"From the beginning to the end, we never fought a decisive battle with the Manchus, but the situation was already very good."
"I guess even now Dorgon still can't figure out where he lost?" On the top of Shenyang City, Shengjing, Zhou Yuji, who was dressed in military armor, was laughing happily.
At the foot of the city, the Manchu and Qing dynasties attacked the city fiercely.
But Dorgon probably never dreamed that Shengjing had actually used Zheng Zhilong's fleet to send Tang He, Zhou Yuji and 30,000 elite troops over before the Qing Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops besieged the city.
If the surrender troops recruited in Liaodong are included, the number of defenders in Shengjing has reached 60,000 at this moment.
Coupled with the food stolen by Li Wenzhong when he massacred the entire Liaodong, and Shenyang's unattainable city wall that could withstand heavy artillery, it was enough for them to hold on here for three years.
It was simply a dream for Dorgon to conquer Shenyang in a short time.
As for his hundreds of thousands of troops, the number of people they eat and chew every day is not a small number. Every extra day they spend here means they are one day closer to destruction.
What's more, there are Li Wenzhong's 10,000 fine cavalry behind them who have been harassing his grain road.
"Our Majesty is like this. He always anticipates the enemy's opportunities. We basically listen to him when it comes to formulating strategies."
Standing next to Zhou Yuji was Tang He, who was slightly fat and also wearing a battle armor.
Even though this guy was smiling and looking like a good guy, Zhou Yuji didn't dare to underestimate him at all.
Just seven days ago, someone gathered in Shenyang City to rebel and attempt to open the city gates for the Qing Dynasty who was attacking the city outside. It was this Marshal Tang who silently resolved the rebellion.
"General Zhou, although our army can defend the city, we cannot take it lightly. After all, Shenyang, the capital of Shengyang, has been run by the Qing Dynasty for more than 20 years. No one knows how many die-hard loyalists have been buried in Shenyang. In case of negligence, Shenyang If you lose it, it will delay His Majesty’s important event, and you and I can’t afford it!” Tang He said.
"Don't worry, Commander. I will be on the city wall day and night from today on, and I will never let down your majesty's kindness." Zhou Yuji said firmly.
What Zhou Yuji said was true.
He had teased Dorgon before for not understanding Zhu Yuanzhang's plan. In fact, even he didn't quite understand what had happened in the past two or three years. Why was the world so war-torn before that after His Majesty's arrival, three times five divided by two... It gives a hint of peace and prosperity to the country and the people.
Why were the Manchus, who were so arrogant before, being fooled around in front of His Majesty, and why were the rogue bandits who could never be exterminated no matter how hard they were suppressed, even surrendered to death?
But it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, he just needs to hug Zhu Yuanzhang's thigh tightly.
Following Emperor Hongwu, he had food to eat and victorious battles to fight. These are Zhou Yuji's simple values today.
At this moment, he finally realized the happiness of those generals in the early years of Hongwu.
Who can't win a battle with such a majesty?
He felt that if he had been born in the early years of Hongwu, he would have also been able to make great achievements.
As for the heroes of the massacre recorded in history?
hehe!
Zhou Yuji felt that this must be a civil official slandering His Majesty!
Does a person like His Majesty need to make up charges and kill people? Whoever he wants to die is just a matter of imperial edict.
Anyway, Zhou Yuji felt that he would definitely act according to orders. Even if Emperor Hongwu ordered him to commit suicide, he would complete it without compromise.
Because he felt that since His Majesty asked him to die, it must be because his death would be good for the country.
He is willing to die.
Tang He naturally didn't know that the man in front of him had transformed into a fanatical fan of Zhu Yuanzhang.
But even if he knew, Tang He didn't care.
Because in the early Ming Dynasty, there were too many people like Zhou Yuji.
This is also a reflection of Zhu Yuanzhang's personality charm.
On the other side, on a hillside more than three miles away from Shengjing, Li Wenzhong and several of his men were also observing the siege battle with binoculars.
"Dorgon's Tatar soldiers have not moved. Now the ones who move are the infantry under the Han banner, and cannon fodder!"
"I'm afraid he has other plans!"
Li Wenzhong was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Where is Fulin, the young emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, still in Peking?"
"According to our information, it should be."
"In addition, there should be tens of thousands of elite Tatars in the pass, who should be Haug's men." A subordinate behind him replied.
"Haha, then don't worry about him, let's just keep doing our own thing!"
"Based on the current situation, I don't think they have a chance to come back. The key is that we don't make mistakes and let him seize the opportunity!"
"Let's just continue to attack his grain road according to the original plan. I want to see how long he can hold out with more than 200,000 people!" Li Wenzhong sneered and roared away with his troops.
"Brother, please tell me something, what should we do next?" In the tent of the Manchu military camp, Duduo was so anxious that his mouth was filled with tears, but there was nothing he could do.
This time, the opponents they faced were more formidable than the last. Xu Da from the south relied on his advantage to advance slowly, without greed for merit or rash advancement, and did not give them any chance for a sneak attack.
The 10,000 cavalrymen led by Li Wenzhong in the north were even more perverted, brave and tough, and could gather and disperse at random. After they left the border, they fought head-on with Li Wenzhong twice, and lost tens of thousands of people in total, but the death toll on the other side was never more than one.
thousand.
They had never fought such a battle before the Qing Dynasty.
In addition, Tang He appeared in Shengjing. Seven days ago, they tried their best to open the city gate, but not only were they easily defeated by this person, but their secret work hidden in the city was also discovered.
This person followed the clue and probably killed him 80% of the time.
Duduo has been fighting all his life, so how could he not know that in the current situation, there is no hope of conquering Shengjing and Shenyang.
But they can’t retreat!
There is also a dead end in the pass. Xu Da is about to reach Beizhili. It is impossible for them to rely on the small Shuntian Prefecture to feed the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court.
In the past, they could plunder, but now with Li Wenzhong's 10,000 elite cavalry, they dispersed and plundered, just to deliver food to people.
"well……!"
"There is no way!"
"Now people in the Ming Dynasty say that Zhu Yuanzhang was resurrected to save the Ming Empire. I think this is probably true."
"Otherwise, Akito's literati and military generals would never be our brothers' opponents!"
"We are not unjust if we lose at the hands of Zhu Hongwu!"
"Brother, don't even think about becoming emperor for now. I'm afraid we only have one way to go now!"
Dorgon looked at Duduo and said in a low voice: "We may have to fight for survival, abandon everything, and go north with only the most elite tens of thousands of cavalry."
