"Join vertically and horizontally, gather all the forces in the world, and surround the Qing Dynasty from all directions."
"Your Majesty's plan is really wonderful!"
"From the beginning to the end, we have never fought a decisive battle with the Manchus, but the situation is 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 within Shengjing, Zhu Yuanzhang had actually used Zheng Zhilong's fleet to send Tang He, Zhou Yuji and 30,000 elite troops in before the 200,000 Qing army 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 grain and grass stolen by Li Wenzhong after massacring the entire Liaodong, and Shenyang's unattainable city walls 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 more than 200,000 horses, the number of people eating horse chews every day is not a small amount. Every extra day they spend here is one day closer to their 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 old 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 the city. It was this commander 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 His Majesty's kindness." Zhou Yuji said firmly.
What Zhou Yuji said was true.
He had previously teased Dorgon 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 not 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.
With such a majesty, who can't win the battle?
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 servant slandering His Majesty!
Does a person like His Majesty need to make up charges and kill people? Whoever you want to die is 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 was 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 the embodiment of Zhu Yuanzhang's personality charm, and it is also the key to his ability to become the Ninth Five-Year Master in a short period of time.
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 through 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 Qing Dynasty, still in Peiping?"
"According to our intelligence, it should be."
"In addition, there are tens of thousands of elite Tatars in the pass, who should be Hauge'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 he had no idea what to do.
This time, the opponents they faced were more terrifying than the last. Xu Da from the south relied on his advantages to advance slowly, not greedy for merit or making rash advances, 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 they were unpredictable. After they came out of the border, they fought head-on with Li Wenzhong twice. In total, they lost tens of thousands of people, but the death toll on the other side was definitely not 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 killed 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 Shenyang, Shengjing.
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 most likely 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 taking over the world for now. I'm afraid we only have one way out now!"
Dorgon looked at Duduo and said in a low voice: "Cut off your tail to survive, give up everything, and go north with only the most elite tens of thousands of cavalry."
