Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 214 Sustained Victory
Instead of fighting a decisive battle with the main force of the Manchu Qing, they sent troops to harass their grain search team, thereby luring the Manchu Qing to go south to Ruzhou.

Facts have proved that this method is quite effective.

However, in a few days, the number of captured Qing troops exceeded [-]. Although they were all miscellaneous soldiers from the Ming army, Zhu Yixi did not dislike them, and gathered them all together.

While in Luoyang, Duoduo, who was waiting for the arrival of the food supplies, quickly noticed the tricks of the food search team.

After investigation, Qin Jun was found.

"Bold as hell!" Duoduo laughed angrily, "I didn't go to beat him, but he dared to provoke me, pretending to be King Yu, how brave he is."

"My lord, it seems that Zhu Yixi came prepared!"

Geng Zhongming squinted his eyes and said, "Could it be that he teamed up with the intruder?"

"This is impossible!"

Duoduo shook his head and said, his beard spread all over his face, and said in a deep voice: "I guess I want to take advantage of the fire to rob and reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

"It's a good idea!" Kong Youde also hurriedly said: "Thanks to the prince's sharp eyes, how can this little trick be hidden from you?"

"Hahaha!" Duduo felt comfortable being photographed, stroked his beard, and said proudly:

"From the battle of Luoyang, it can be seen that the burglars are nothing more than a fake trick, and they are pinning their hopes on Tongguan to defend them. This is not urgent."

"As for Zhu Yixi, I originally thought that after breaking Xi'an, I would hug grass and beat rabbits for him, but I never thought that I would appear."

"My lord, you want to hit Huguang first?"

Geng Zhongming frowned, and said with some doubts: "I'm afraid this violated the military order of the regent king!"

"Are you using the regent to suppress me?"

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, how can we all listen to Beijing?"

Duoduo frowned, and showed his power: "If something goes wrong, I will bear it all."

Geng Zhongming wanted to say more, Kong Youde pulled his sleeve and was held back,

In an instant, Geng Zhongming realized that although the Prince Regent is Prince Yu's biological brother, there was still a gap between the two last year.

Last year, Duoduo robbed Fan Wencheng's wife and was fined [-] niulu. He also changed from the Zhengbai Banner of the Shangsan Banner to the Xiangbai Banner.

On weekdays, they are unanimous to the outside world, but in private, it is difficult to say anything.

"When will the red cannon arrive?"

Duoduo turned his head and asked about Kong Youde.

I feel extremely uncomfortable questioning a lowly Han Chinese like Geng Zhongming.

Even King Sanshun is nothing more than a servant of the Qing Dynasty, it is really audacious to dare to question his master.

"It's already past Mengjin, and we'll be there in two days."

Kong Youde quickly responded, with a smile on his face.

"When the artillery arrives, let's go south with the whole army and capture the fake King Yu of Ruzhou Prefecture alive."

Duoduo suddenly became excited: "I want to see why he is qualified to be the king of Yu."

"twitter--"

The two of them knelt on one knee, revealing their bright foreheads and their slender rat braids, which were particularly conspicuous.

On December [-]th, Duoduo led tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Luoyang to the south and approached Ruzhou.

At the same time, Zhu Yixi had long been in Ruzhou, digging deep trenches, repairing the city walls, and using earth cement to turn it into a bastion, just in case.

Moreover, under the city of Ruzhou, two military camps were built, in the shape of horns with the city, and the defense value was almost full.

Finally hearing the news of Duoduo going south, Zhu Yixi sighed: "Jianu really went south."

"Your Highness, I don't understand if I'm humble. Isn't this Jiannu afraid of traps and ambushes? Governor Sun's lessons are not far away!"

When Chen Yongfu heard about it, he couldn't help feeling strange, wouldn't this Manqing learn his lesson?
"Chen Tongzhi, you don't know Jiannu."

You Shiwei shook his head, and said in a cold voice: "Jiannu ravaged Liaodong, entered the customs several times, and has long been defiant."

"For our ambush, they don't look down on them at all, and even think of us in their hearts!"

"That's true."

Thinking about the memory of Manqing in his mind, Zhu Yixi couldn't help but mocked: "In order to intimidate us, Jiannu declared something like 'Eight Banners are less than [-], and if they are full, they are invincible'."

"Today, I want to break this rumor."

"Three kings, take them all."

Gongshun Wang Kong Youde, Huaishun Wang Geng Zhongming, and Prince Yu Duoduo.

Slaying the three kings will definitely make the world famous.

Thinking this way, His Royal Highness Prince Yu was already imagining such a wonderful scene.

From the 17th of December in the [-]th year of Chongzhen, only ten days before the first year of Hongguang, [-] Qing troops traveled two hundred miles to the city of Ruzhou.

The sky was not beautiful, and the heavy snow that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly fell.

The whole of Henan is shrouded in a field of ice and snow, which is more than a foot deep, which is extremely rare.

This is the first time for many soldiers of the Qin Army to see it. When did the south have such snowflakes?

Standing on the high ground, Ruzhou City is as stable as a mountain.

Even if the cotton jackets were prepared, it was still not enough for the heavy snow. A large amount of firewood was continuously burned to keep the soldiers warm.

Frostbite and wind chills appeared constantly and were unavoidable.

For the Qing army, this heavy snow was nothing more than normal for those who were born in Liaodong, and the winter was even more bitter than this.

The war situation suddenly became stronger for him.

"Icing on the cake!"

Duoduo looked at Ruzhou City, and sighed to Geng and Kong: "This is God's plan to destroy the Ming army, and Changshengtian will bless you."

Geng and Kong also smiled happily.

The generals and academies in the army are also very happy. Although fighting in winter is hard, it is selfish.

Since the heavens are beautiful, Duoduo thanked Changshengtian while letting the cavalry prepare to destroy the two barracks.

Twenty red-clothed cannons are lined up in a fan shape, looking majestic and imposing.

Duoduo, Geng Zhongming, and Kong Youde, all wrapped up tightly, stood on the command tower and stared ahead.

"Boom--"

Even though the bone-chilling wind and heavy snow fell, the artillery remained undiminished. Facing the barracks to the east, they kept bombing.

Even if the military stronghold that is relied on is well-built, to artillery, it is just the difference between one piece of paper and two pieces of paper.

A large amount of wood was blown away, and within half an hour, several feet long cracks were broken in the strong military stronghold.

"kill--"

Duoduo sneered, and said proudly: "Let the sons and daughters take the opportunity to enter, and no one will be left behind."

A large number of cavalry rushed out, only waiting for the infantry to fill up the trenches before they could be chased and killed.

Without waiting for the cavalry to react, this army broke through the barracks on its own and headed towards Ruzhou City.

Seeing this, Duoduo shook his head and said, "You will kill yourself."

So, he stopped worrying about it and looked towards the west.

Immediately, the majestic cannon in red was aimed at the barracks to the west.

As expected, the seemingly solid military stronghold was vulnerable to a single blow.

His army, covered in armor like iron shields, also abandoned their camp and retreated in an orderly manner.

The Eight Banners couldn't find a loophole for a while.

Duduo and the others were also high-spirited, and their continuous victories buried their caution.
