After inspecting a circle of city walls, Pan Yueqing came to Badatai's general's residence.
"Commander, Fuzhou has been completely surrounded by soldiers and horses of tiger thieves, but there are not many people in the north. We still have time to leave Fuzhou City at this time." Pan Yueqing said to Badatai who was sitting in his seat.
This is not the first time he has come to Badatai.
Just when the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Character Banner began to clean up Zhuangzi outside Fuzhou City, he came to Badatai, hoping that Badatai could abandon Fuzhou City and retreat to Gaizhou.
Unfortunately, Badatai believed that the Tiger Character Banner was only here to rob Zhuangzi and would not do anything to Fuzhou City, so he rejected the proposal to withdraw.
The second time Pan Yueqing came to Badatai hoping to leave Fuzhou City was when the Jurchens in Zhuangzi outside the city retreated into Fuzhou City.
At this time, whether the outside of Fuzhou City was completely surrounded by the tiger-character flag or not, people in Fuzhou City could easily leave Fuzhou City if they wanted to.
Now this is the third time to come to Badatai.
At this time, all Zhuangzi outside Fuzhou City fell into the hands of the Tiger Flag. The soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag had already formed a siege on Fuzhou City. However, because the Tiger Flag had just surrounded Fuzhou City, the defenders in the city There are still loopholes in the army that can be exploited. As long as some people are sacrificed, it can still ensure that most of the city can retreat to Gaizhou.
"Don't worry, I have sent people to Gaizhou to ask for reinforcements. I believe reinforcements will arrive in Fuzhou soon. By then, it will not be the tiger thieves surrounding Fuzhou, but Fuzhou and the reinforcements attacking from inside and outside to deal with the tiger thieves' troops. "Badatai didn't take Pan Yueqing's words seriously.
And sincerely he looked down on Han Chinese like Pan Yueqing.
As for how the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag could fight, he never took it seriously.
He has always stayed in Fuzhou City as a guard and is not clear about many situations outside. In his eyes, the Han army is still as easy to bully as the Ming army.
As for the fact that Mang Gurtai suffered a loss under Jinzhou City, he felt that it was because Mang Gurtai suffered a loss because he was not good at attacking the city, but this did not mean how powerful the tiger-character flag was.
Old Khan also suffered losses under Ningyuan City back then, so it was not a big deal for the Jurchens to suffer losses when they attacked the city.
"The tiger thieves have many troops in Lushun, and they have been adding more troops to Lushun during this period. It is obvious that they are going to deal with us in Fuzhou. We should not defend at this time. The best way is to retreat to Gaizhou. We have received reinforcements. Come back with a counterattack." Pan Yueqing persuaded.
He is not as optimistic about the situation as Badatai.
The situation in Lushun could not support too many troops, but the increase in troops in Lushun made him see that the Tiger Character Banner had the intention to take action. At this time, it was not a good idea to defend Fuzhou City.
Back then, he was willing to join Daikin because he didn't want to die on the battlefield. Now, for the sake of the foreign race, he had no idea of accompanying him to death in battle.
"I am the guard general of Fuzhou City. I have decided to defend Fuzhou City to the death. If you dare to speak nonsense again and shake the morale of the army, I will chop off your head immediately." Badatai got angry.
Pan Yueqing's greed for life and fear of death made him look down upon him more and more.
Seeing this, Pan Yueqing stamped his feet angrily, turned around and left without saying a word.
Badatai looked at Pan Yueqing leaving with contempt and snorted coldly.
As soon as the reinforcements from Gaizhou arrived, he was absolutely sure to defeat the tiger-character banner army. Before the reinforcements arrived, he thought that he would have no big problem in holding Fuzhou City.
On the day when the Tiger Character Banner's army surrounded Fuzhou City, a letter sent from Fuzhou to Gaizhou for help arrived.
Although Badatai looked down on the Han army, he was not a fool. As soon as he learned about the Tiger Character Banner's reinforcement of troops in Lushun, he immediately sent the news to Gaizhou.
When several troops from the Tiger Character Banner came to attack Zhuangzi around Fuzhou City, he immediately sent a letter asking for help to Gaizhou.
If not, he would not be sitting in Fuzhou City so peacefully without any worries.
The root of everything was that he believed that he would be able to persist until the arrival of Gaizhou reinforcements, so he never thought of abandoning the defense of Fuzhou City.
As for the possibility of Fuzhou City being captured, in his opinion it was simply impossible.
After receiving a letter asking for help from Fuzhou, Gaizhou gathered a few thousand soldiers and horses to rescue Fuzhou and sent them to Shengjing to ask for help.
The Tiger-Character Banner's increase in troops in Lushun has made the Gaizhou garrison realize that a big war is coming. At this time, Gaizhou alone may not be able to handle it, so he can only ask Shengjing to send a large army to deal with the Tiger-Character Banner soldiers and horses in Lushun. .
From Gaizhou to Shengjing, the capital of Dajin, there is Haizhou Guard in the middle. It is a long way from Shengjing, and even a fast horse needs to spend a lot of time on the road.
After the Tiger Character Banner army encircled Fuzhou City, they left and launched an attack on Fuzhou City.
Cannons transported from Lushun were pushed to the foot of Fuzhou City, and nearly 200 cannons began to bombard Fuzhou City.
When Lao Nu's army of 100,000 attacked Ningyuan City, they only had more than 100 cannons.
The Tiger Character Banner army that besieged Fuzhou City was only over 10,000 people, less than a combat division, and the number of cannons they could use was already more than when Lao Nu attacked Ningyuan City.
Moreover, the cannons of the Tiger Character Flag are not comparable to the cannons that the old slave has pieced together.
As soon as the cannon with the Tiger Flag outside Fuzhou City was fired, Fuzhou City immediately experienced a hail of iron balls.
Ordinary hailstones can at most bruise a person's nose, face, and face, and have a few big bumps on the head. One or two hailstones can hardly kill a person, but the iron ball shot out of the barrel is different, it is something that can kill people.
Don't just hit it a few times. Even if you hit it once, people won't be able to bear it.
After only one round of shelling, there was not a single living defender left on the shelled wall of Fuzhou City. Apart from corpses, the defenders who could escape all fled to places where they could avoid the shelling.
No one dares to test the hardness of an iron ball with their own flesh and blood.
Fuzhou City does not have as thick a wall as Jinan City. In less than half a day, a gap was knocked open in one of the walls of Fuzhou City.
"Send a detachment up to seize the gap in Fuzhou City." After Xing Chaoxi discovered the gap, he immediately arranged for people to fight for it.
The detachment he mentioned was the former Thousand-Man Team.
With the establishment of the three theaters, the Thousand-Man Team also changed its name to the Detachment, and the Thousand-Man Captain was changed to the Detachment Captain.
A detachment of the Tiger Character Banner began to approach the gap in Fuzhou City. At the same time, the sound of artillery slowly stopped.
And when the defenders in Fuzhou City were preparing to block the damaged gap, the detachment from the Tiger Character Banner had already rushed forward.
The two sides began to fight over this gap.
At this time, the Tiger Crouching Cannon on the side of the Tiger Flag began to show its power.
After only a few shots were fired, the defenders in the city who were fighting for the gap completely gave in and had to give up the gap in the city wall.
The battle of the Tiger Flag detachment that captured the gap did not end, but continued to fight with the city defenders who wanted to retake the gap.
However, with this gap, more and more tiger-character flag soldiers and horses rushed to the gap from the rear and entered Fuzhou City through this gap.
