Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

In July of the tenth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered the customs for the fourth time in advance and robbed, crisscrossing the territory of the Ming Dynasty for thousands of miles, where it passed, burning, killing and looting, the beacon fire was endless, and the dust was in the sky.

Outside the city of Jinan, more than 30,000 Qing troops gathered here.

Under the tent of the Chinese army, Dolgon, who was already the owner of the white flag and Prince Shuorui, sat on the main seat, looking at the Jinan City in front of him with a clairvoyant mirror, and repeatedly attacked the city, burned and looted, but there was no trace of fatigue on his face.

"It seems that there are thousands of more defenders in Jinan, and it may not be easy to break through Jinan at once.

Hauge also looked at Jinan City not far away with a clairvoyant mirror on the side, and saw that the soldiers on the city wall were busy, which obviously increased.

"A main force of the Ming army is chasing behind, but they are not marching fast, and they have not yet entered the Shandong territory at this moment.

Abatai also said on the side, and said: "Moreover, I have never been able to contact the Yuetuo Ministry, and the people sent to find the Yuetuo Department have never returned." "

It should be the main force of this Ming army, I think that the Yue Tuo Department is more than auspicious, and more than 10,000 people can be annihilated by the Yue Tuo Department, it should be the most elite main force of the Ming Army, and there should be a person we don't know who is in command of the overall situation, otherwise with those Ming army generals, there is no such ability to lead the overall situation."

Dolgon put down the clairvoyant mirror, took a sip of tea, stood up, came to the table where the map of the Ming Dynasty was placed, and said while looking at it: "Therefore, we can't stay longer in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, pass the order to go down, immediately attack Jinan, and after robbing Jinan, we will withdraw our troops immediately, with the speed of this Ming army, we can't catch up with us." "

Fifteen thousand people have been wiped out, and there are still many elites with white flags in it, hey......"

Dolgon suddenly sighed.

"Attack the city with all your might!"

Hauge rode his horse and rushed out, pointing out seven thousand Qing troops and rushing towards Jinan City.

"Cavalry bow and arrow cover

!" "Kill!"

Seven thousand Qing troops rushed towards Jinan City in a dense manner, rows of long ladders were erected on the city wall, and countless people frantically climbed the city wall

......

! On the city of Jinan, Yan Jizu commanded nearly 8,000 defenders to block the Qing army's siege.

"His Royal Highness ordered, we must hold Jinan for

four days!" Yan Jizu shouted, he himself had put on his armor, held a saber in his hand, and shouted loudly on the city wall: "Your Highness's reinforcements are already on the way, as long as we hold it

for four days, four days!" "Political envoy Zhang Bingwen, go and bring 2,000 people to guard the south gate!" "Deputy envoy Zhou Zhixun, you take 1,000

people to guard the east gate" "Prefect Gou Haoshan takes 2,000 people to guard

the north gate!" "

I am guarding the main force of the Qing army at the West Gate

!" "Deng Qian, who participated in politics, patrolled Song Xuezhu, you mobilized the people in the city, carried big stones, oil, torches, wine, and all the movements that could kill the enemy!" "

Also, release all the criminals in the prison, including death row prisoners, and tell them that if Jinan is defended, they can all be pardoned

!" "The lower officials receive orders!"

......

Two days later.

"Your Highness, the front has arrived at Shanghe

!" "Report, the Qing army attacked the city for two days and two nights, and fought a bloody battle with the defenders

of Jinan!" "Report, Wudingzhou, Binzhou, Qingcheng Sanwei 12,000 men and horses arrived in Zhangqiu, east

of Jinan!""Report, Pingshanwei of Dongchang Mansion arrived in Changqing, west of Jinan!

""Report, Liu Zeqing's 10,000 horses have crossed the Qi River!" "On the

third day.

"Your Royal Highness, the front has arrived in Jiyang

!" "Report!" "Zhangqiu Sanwei, fierce battle

with the Qing army in the field!" "Report!" "Pingshanwei 5,000 men and horses are fighting fiercely

with the Qing army in Changqing!" "

Report!"

"

Liu Zeqing's troops are fighting fiercely with the Qing army in the field at Qihe!".

In the past few days, hundreds of scouts have taken turns to check the military situation, and more than a dozen of the war horses have died!

"The whole army is ready

to rush to Jinan immediately!" Zhu Cihong immediately stood up from the ground and ordered the whole army, and tens of thousands of cavalry rushed to Jinan.

Jinan is imminent!

......

"Where did the more than 20,000 Ming troops come from?" Dolgon sat under the tent of the Chinese army, his brows tightened: "And our army, attacking the city with all its strength for three days and three nights, has not yet broken through

?" "Where did the less than 8,000 defenders get the courage?" "

Also, the governor of Shandong can't move so many troops, so who transferred the more than 20,000 Ming troops?"

The main force of the Ming army rushing to Shandong has not yet arrived, only more than 10,000 cavalry are still in Jiyang, and it will take a day and a night to rush over.

"Hauge, give me an explanation, why didn't Jinan break through for three days and three nights?"

Dolgon suddenly looked at Hauge.

"Jinan is the main city in Shandong, the city walls are high and strong, and the defenders in the city are also extremely angry, and the defenders of other small cities are all on the same level, so ......

" Hauge was asked by Dolgon, and said a little weakly: "I don't know what these thousands of people are crazy about."

Dolgon sighed, rubbed his eyebrows, pointed at Haoge, and said: "Rest tonight, tomorrow you must break Jinan, let you be on the blue flag

!" "The people who arranged the Han Army Banner took turns to harass them overnight, and they couldn't let the Jinan defenders rest, and they would arrange the people of the Blue Flag early tomorrow morning!"

"Yes."

Hauge turned and walked out of the tent.

At this time, Abatai walked into the tent, came to Dolgon, and said: "The more than 20,000 Ming troops have average combat strength, and they are not difficult to deal with.

"I led 6,000 elite cavalry and 3,000 elite soldiers to fight, and the soldiers were divided into three routes, and the Ming army was defeated and retreated. "

Late at night.

The commander of Pingshanwei stood by the river, looking at the corpses all over the ground, his face showed a trace of sadness, the river water has been stained red with blood, and his 5,000 people have lost almost 2,000 people, while the Qing army has only killed and wounded less than 200 people.

"Commander Fang, our army is not the opponent of the Qing army at all, and His Highness's army doesn't know when it will arrive, why don't we withdraw to Changqing City across the river first, how about a defensive counterattack?"

"Didn't see His Highness's military order

?" Commander Fang glanced at the other party, and said coldly: "When the time comes, Jicheng will be broken, but we will withdraw our troops, do you want to be beheaded by the whole door?" "

Besides, His Highness's tens of thousands of troops are in Shandong, we can't escape, we can't retreat in this battle, we are not Zuo Liangyu, we have seventy or eighty thousand troops, we can maneuver anyone, nor Liu Zeqing, there are tens of thousands of troops, and we can also maneuver anyone." "

The thousand households next to him sighed, indeed, if they have tens of thousands of troops, then they can support their own troops, even if they are the emperor, the prince can't kill them, they can't move them, just like Zuo Liangyu, how many times have they retreated from the battle, can

the emperor dare to order to kill him? As long as the emperor dares to give an order to kill Zuo Liangyu, then Zuo Liangyu's seventy or eighty thousand troops will immediately rebel and occupy the city as the king!"

At

that moment, a soldier came running profusely, sweating profusely.

"Say!" Commander

Fang's eyes lit up.

"His Royal Highness's 15,000 elite horsemen have set off from Jiyang, and they are coming to Jinan non-stop, and they will probably arrive in the afternoon, so we must hold out until the afternoon, and then encircle and annihilate the Qing army together.

"Fifteen

thousand elite cavalry!" Fang Commander exclaimed, with this fifteen thousand elite cavalry coming, in conjunction with the 10,000 people sent by Liu Zeqing and the 12,000 people on Zhangqiu's side, it will definitely be able to fight with the 30,000 troops of the Qing army, although it is estimated that the three sides have lost several thousand people.

The other two sides also had the same idea, and after seeing the combat strength of the Qing army, they also thought about retreating, but after receiving the order from His Royal Highness the Prince, they immediately rejected this idea.

Just kidding, His Royal Highness is in Jiyang, and he is rushing over with 15,000 elite horsemen, at this time, whoever dares to retreat will die!
