At this time, after hearing Hauge's question, Yue Tuo had something to say: "The Ming army besieged Haizhou but did not attack. There is a high possibility that they were encircling the point for reinforcements. If I rush to rescue rashly, If so, wouldn’t it mean that he just fell into the Ming Emperor’s scheme?”
Jianlu had used the technique of encircling a point for reinforcements many times before, so they were naturally very familiar with it.
After hearing this, Hauge thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that this was true. After all, for the Qing Dynasty, the previous strategy of encirclement and reinforcements was actually a last resort. That means we can't capture the city, so we have to besiege it instead of attack it. But the Ming Dynasty was different. They had a large number of artillery, which was the best siege weapon. There was no reason to surround them without attacking them.
However, if the Ming Dynasty just besieged but did not fight, wouldn't it be obvious that the Ming Dynasty emperor had another purpose?
Thinking like this, he nodded and said, "It seems reasonable. The Dog Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is famous for being cunning!"
"Furthermore, there is another reason." Yue Tuo was not done yet and continued, "From previous battles, it seems that the Ming army is working carefully within the Qing Dynasty. If I divide my troops and rush to rescue, if it is leaked, it will be in vain. The Ming army has been defeated, and we have to guard against this. It’s ridiculous that Duduo has a short memory and wants me to divide his troops to attack Yaozhou Post and cut off the Ming army’s retreat. If that happens, it will play into the hands of the Ming Emperor. Got it!"
Having said this, he paused and looked at Hauge, who finally raised his voice and concluded: "That's why I will always wait for you. If we join forces from both sides, then the Dog Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will not have any conspiracies." used!"
Hearing this, Hauge nodded again. It is already known to everyone that there are things being done by the Ming Dynasty within the Qing Dynasty. In the past, the reason why Dorgon could become the regent and override them was because of the grassland war. Only Dorgon who conquered the Sauron tribe in the north can be ruled out of suspicion. As a result, he had planned the details of the Qing Dynasty with great fanfare, and even thought of interrogating these princes. It's just a pity that in the end, it was all in vain, and we couldn't find out who Ming Guo Xizuo was!
"So what's going on over there in Haizhou now?" Hauge felt that it was disrespectful to echo Yue Tuo, so he immediately changed the subject and asked after nodding.
Yue Tuo found a good reason for his behavior. Seeing that Hauge did not continue, he stopped explaining and answered Hauge's question: "What else can be done? The Dog Emperor of the Ming Dynasty just continues to surround Haizhou." !”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a messenger speeding over. Seeing the two of them from a distance, he shouted: "The Ming army is attacking the city with all its strength. Haizhou is in danger. Prince Yu is urgently asking for rescue..." "
Hearing this, Yue Tuo and Hao Ge couldn't help but be stunned. Didn't the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty always besiege but not attack? Why did he suddenly start to attack the city with all his strength? Is there another conspiracy?
To be honest, both of them were a little scared.
When the messenger arrived, Yue Tuo quickly asked for details. When he learned that the Ming army was besieging the city on three sides and began to attack the city on a large scale, he became a little confused: Could it be that the Dog Emperor of the Ming Dynasty really wanted to take Haizhou?
Whether it's Yue Tuo or Hauge, they always feel like there's some conspiracy here. Therefore, neither of them decided to rescue immediately.
"What do you think the Dog Emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants to do?" Yue Tuo frowned, turned to look at Hauge and asked, "Why did it suddenly change?"
"Could it be that I didn't wait for you to send troops, so I felt that besieging the city for reinforcements was useless, so I started to attack the city?" Hauge thought, got a possibility, and answered Yue Tuo.
After hearing this, Yue Tuo did not confirm this guess, but doubted: "Could it be that he was deliberately pretending to wait for Duduo's messenger for help to arrive, then immediately cut off the way for help, and then transferred his troops to ambush, etc. Our army came to rescue and suddenly came out..."
When Hauge heard this, he immediately felt it made sense and said casually: "It's possible, but remember not to be fooled by the Ming Emperor!"
"Okay, heroes agree!" Upon hearing this, Yue Tuo said immediately, "Then let's wait and see and send out detective horses to investigate the war in Haizhou!"
Anyway, it’s only about sixty miles, so it’s not too far.
Therefore, neither Yue Tuo nor Hauge took the news seriously. It's a pity that Duduo didn't know, otherwise he would be so angry that he would vomit blood: I am almost dead, and you still have ink stains, you pigs!
However, Yue Tuo and Hao Ge were not at peace either. Less than half an hour later, Duduo's messenger for help came in a hurry. This time, Yue Tuo finally felt that something was wrong. If the war in Haizhou hadn't been really critical, Duduo wouldn't have asked for help continuously in such a short period of time.
Haug asked doubtfully: "Is it possible that the Dog Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is still acting, just to make it more realistic so that we can go to the rescue? Or is it that Duduo is exaggerating and wants us to share his pressure?"
"Isn't that true?" Yue Tuo was a little worried. If he really had to sit back and watch Haizhou fall and Duduo's entire army be annihilated, then the two of them, especially Yue Tuo who was the first to arrive, would definitely not be able to escape the blame. "What the hell? Unfortunately, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty really wants to conquer Haizhou. I think we can’t delay it any longer!”
With the addition of Hauge's cavalry, the current Qing army at Anshan Fort has reached about 25,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry. With such a large number of troops, so what if the Ming army comes for reinforcements? Are they still afraid?
Based on this idea, Yue Tuo changed his mind and immediately urged Hao Ge to prepare and go to rescue Haizhou together.
"Our army has just arrived, how about you set off first and catch up immediately after I rest here?" At this time, Haug was still not active. Of course, the reason was reasonable, at least he thought so.
"..." Yue Tuo was speechless, staring at Hauge who didn't care, thinking in his heart, when did this guy learn to preserve his strength?
He clearly saw just now that the cavalry led by Hauge were not tired at all, nor were they marching in a hurry. And no matter what, two hours have passed, and the people and horses should have rested.
At this moment, another messenger from Duduo arrived, explaining that the army was about to capture the city wall. If they didn't rescue them, it would be too late!
Yue Tuo heard it and quickly asked for details. Hauge next to him also immediately listened with his ears pricked up.
When the two of them heard the messenger say that the Ming army used a large number of red cannons to bombard the city wall, and with the help of the artillery cover, they also used catapults to throw heavy fire oil into the city, and the enemy was ten thousand people... Just hearing this, the two of them Everyone knows that Duduo is definitely not exaggerating. Haizhou is really dangerous.
As a result, the two people immediately put aside their little calculations and immediately mobilized their troops to leave the border and rush to the aid of Haizhou City.
…………
At this time, on the Haizhou City side, the Ming Dynasty infantry had indeed occupied several sections of the city wall, but they were unable to enter the city for the time being. Jianlu's archers hid in the streets and alleys of the city, shooting arrows at the top of the city. It has to be said that Jianlu did have a lot of sharp archers. When the first batch of Ming infantry tried to expand their advantage, capture more city walls, and attack inside the city, they were all shot back by Jianlu archers.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard the news, he ordered the Franco machine guns to be loaded with shotguns and carried up to the city, preparing to use artillery to clear the way. If necessary, use fierce fire and oil to burn the city and burn out all the prisoners.
But at this moment, the eavesdropping system that Emperor Chongzhen had been paying attention to, the Ming army Ye Bushou, who was lurking outside Anshan Posthouse, fed back information from the Class C eavesdropping seeds, saying that Jianlu had left Anshan Posthouse on a large scale. Coming to Haizhou City.
Upon seeing this news, Emperor Chongzhen did not continue to order the siege. Instead, he issued an order that all Ming troops from the three camps should gather at the southern base camp, abandon the other two military camps, and prepare to start the second phase of the war.
The strength of the Jianlu army at this time cannot be underestimated. In fact, their combat power has not been weakened much. It's just that in the previous wars, Emperor Chongzhen always used more to defeat fewer, creating enough local advantages to prevent the Jianlu from exerting their due combat power.
All generals carried out Emperor Chongzhen's orders without hesitation. However, I am somewhat confused, why not conquer Haizhou in one go? Even if there are tens of thousands, if they can capture Haizhou, it will be like driving a nail under Jianlu's nose!
In response, Emperor Chongzhen just told them that the Jianlu reinforcements would arrive soon. The total strength is estimated to be about the same as our own, or even slightly more. Attacking the city now is no longer the best opportunity.
In fact, the reason why Emperor Chongzhen launched a large-scale offensive against Haizhou City was to attract the captives from Anshan Posthouse. Now that the goal has been achieved, it is actually possible.
After the decree was passed down, the Ming army formed a new front based on the base camp, relying on the chariot camp, and combining infantry and cavalry. Just after completing these things, the Jianlu Cavalry from Anshan Post appeared in the Haizhou area.
At the camp gate, looking at the Jianlu vanguard in the distance, Emperor Chongzhen shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the dragon, the tiger is so powerful, where is Cao Bianjiao?"
"The general is here!" Upon hearing this, He Renlong, Hu Dawei, and Cao Bianjiao immediately responded loudly.
Emperor Chongzhen had a serious face, stared at them, and immediately issued an order: "The three of you each lead three thousand cavalry. Drive these Tatar cavalry ten miles away. Don't let them act arrogantly again!"
"General, I obey!" After hearing this, the three of them were not afraid. Instead, they agreed excitedly and immediately resigned. Then they led the cavalry in three groups, paying no attention to Haizhou City and attacked the Jianlu vanguard in the wilderness. Riding away.
After accumulating so many victories, the Ming Dynasty's cavalry had long regarded killing the Tatars as a rare opportunity for them to make meritorious deeds. When they saw the Jianlu cavalry, they no longer had the fear they had before. Instead, their eyes gleamed, just like a tiger that saw its prey and pounced on it.
On the contrary, the Jianlu Cavalry Army has heard about the name of the Hussars Battalion for a long time and knows that this cavalry army is the most powerful cavalry army in the Ming Dynasty. Although they are not particularly afraid, facing this hussars When camping, they are always very cautious.
Moreover, when they were ordered to come with reinforcements, both Yue Tuo and Hao Ge had told them that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was full of tricks and must be careful. Therefore, when they saw the Ming army rushing towards them, they did not dare to fight at all and retreated directly.
In Haizhou City, when the Ming army retreated, Duduo knew that reinforcements from Anshan Posthouse must have arrived, so he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked people to repair the city wall and reoccupy the city head.
After deploying these orders, he also boarded the city again, looked at the Ming army camp in the distance outside the city, and said viciously: "I don't believe it, how much gunpowder and fire oil do you Ming dogs have?" Can the class be consumed? If you have the ability, can you try again?"
After the harsh words were released, Duduo saw the Ming cavalry chasing the Qing cavalry. Seeing the ferocity of the Ming army, he seemed to see the shadow of the former Qing cavalry.
Duduo was not without eyesight. He could tell at a glance that the morale of the Ming army had not been affected by the arrival of reinforcements from the Qing Dynasty. On the contrary, the Ming army seemed to be very excited. It seemed that this battle still had to be fought!
…………
About an hour later, the Ming cavalry had already returned to their camp, and the Qing reinforcements also entered Haizhou City from the north gate.
Duduo heard the news and went to greet him no matter what.
As soon as Hauge saw Duduo appear, he couldn't help but feel proud. You were arrogant before, but now you don't have to rely on yourself to save him. Thinking of this, he laughed and said: "Prince Yu is indeed worthy of his reputation. Despite several times of Ming army's attack, he still defended Haizhou City. Amazing, amazing!"
Duduo was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Hauge didn't take the opportunity to insult him, but instead praised him. As a result, Duduo's impression of Hauge suddenly changed greatly. No matter what, it was Hauge who came to help after all, because he was ready to say thank you.
But who knows, after Hauge finished speaking, he turned to look at Yue Tuo who was beside him and said: "But when the Ming army saw us, they retreated immediately. It seems that the Ming army is actually nothing more than that!"
"..." When Duduo heard this, his face immediately turned red.
The Ming army did just that, but they beat Duduo to the point where he almost failed to defend Haizhou. This is what Hauge meant. In fact, he was saying that Duduo was incompetent!
So, he immediately changed his words and said: "What do you know? I pretended to be defeated and consumed a lot of military supplies of the Ming army. Do you know? If you come to defend Haizhou City, you will probably be frightened when the Ming army's thousands of artillery fire. Do you have to run away?"
"You..." When Hauge heard this, he became furious and shouted immediately, "Okay, in that case, come on, come on, you continue to guard Haizhou, let's go back!"
Seeing this, Yue Tuo could only act as a peacemaker and persuade each other to finally stop the two of them from quarreling.
After arriving and sitting down in the lobby of the state capital, Yue Tuo said: "Now the regent has ordered the recruitment of troops across the country, and the army will arrive in the near future. We will keep the Emperor of Ming at all costs. You and the Emperor of Ming have been at war for many days. How do you think we can hold back the Ming army and prevent them from escaping before the main force arrives?"
