Chapter 303 The situation is complicated

This time when he came to Ruzhou, Shen Zhixiang accepted the task assigned by Duoduo, and he felt confident in his heart.

Seeing Liu Zhong who looked like an iron tower but was so timid, Shen Zhixiang couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous.

"It's just Gao Yihuan, why should General Liu be so afraid?" Shen Zhixiang said with a light smile.

Liu Zhong is close to Gao Yihuan, and he knows Gao Yihuan's ability. Besides, not long ago, Gao Yihuan killed Belle Abatay of the Qing Dynasty, and he was still a little scared.

And they went too far in the mine this time, killing people is fine, and deliberately humiliating and angering Gao Yihuan, isn't it a death reminder?
"Duke, it's better not to take a peek at Gao Yihuan." Liu Zhong looked at the soldiers of the Wei army gathered under the city, licked his lips and said.

Shen Zhixiang saw that he was timid, but smiled and said, "General Liu, don't worry, you are the first general to surrender after Prince Yu entered Luoyang, and Prince Yu will definitely protect you. If you fail, I will lose face. Am I still in the city? Don't worry, defend the city with all your strength, and I will send a fast horse to report to Prince Yu!"

Hearing what he said, Liu Zhong felt that it made sense, so he calmed down a little.

"As long as King Yu is backing me up, then I have nothing to fear!" Liu Zhong grinned.

Baofeng's mine was an important source of Gao Yihuan's crude iron. After being destroyed by the Tartars, Runing's workshop could only use the stock of crude iron to make weapons and farm tools.

Although the Qing army has withdrawn now, the miners have suffered heavy losses and the mines have also been damaged. It will not take a short time to recover.

What's more, Liu Zhong from Ruzhou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, which made Baofeng, which was originally in the hinterland, directly threatened by the Tartars, and the mine was no longer safe, always facing the danger of being attacked.

Gao Yihuan yelled furiously. After investigating Baofeng County, he found that the rebels in the county had already withdrawn, and then the army headed north and arrived at the city of Ruzhou Prefecture.

Ruzhou Fucheng is located in the north of Rushui River, with the majestic Songshan Mountain in the north and the vast Funiu in the south. The hills in the territory are rolling and rolling, forming a landform of hills and rivers.

The behavior of the Qing army and Liu Zhong in the mine angered Gao Yihuan. After the initial investigation by the scouts, he led the army to chase to the city.

Gao Yihuan was also careless this time, and focused all his attention on Duduo recruiting himself, but he didn't expect that Duoduo would also recruit other people at the same time.

The Duoduo army crossed the Yellow River from Mengjin and trapped Luoyang. It must be a huge blow to the Henan Shun army, and it will definitely shake people's hearts.

Gao Yihuan didn't take precautions in advance, but even if he reacted in advance, it would probably be too late.The envoy of the Qing Dynasty arrived in Yancheng on the eighth day of the lunar new year, and was received by Gao Yihuan on the tenth day of the new year. On the same day, he received news of the attack on the Baofeng mine, but it was already too late.

It's just that Liu Zhong surrendered as soon as he wanted to, and he also helped the Tartars capture the mines, massacre the people wantonly, and built landscapes, which are not as good as animals.

In this battle, Gao Yihuan must kill Liu Zhong to frighten the ugly people.

If he showed a weak side, not only the Qing army in the north would push his nose and face and continue to suppress his physical storage space, but the Ming Dynasty in the south might also ignore him.

This is because he has to show a domineering side, becoming the little overlord of Zhongzhou, making Duoduo feel that it is not worthwhile to beat him, and making the Ming Dynasty in the south dare not provoke him.

However, it is not easy to do this.

After all, his strength is only so great. If he pretends to be too much, he will be arrogant and easy to be wiped out in a single battle, so he needs to master skills.

Right now a large army is approaching the city, but Ruzhou is close to Rushui, and the city is tall, but it is not so easy to attack.

The only good thing is that because of the cold weather, the river was frozen, and the Rushui and the moat were frozen, so Gao Yihuan didn't need to fill the river.

At this time, on a mound outside the city, Gao Yihuan led a group of generals to stand on the top of the mound on horseback to check the situation in Ruzhou.

Gao Yihuan watched Ruzhou on horseback. There were more than [-] rebels in the city, and there were also [-] fake Tartars of the Han army Zhengbai Banner.

The only thing Gao Yihuan relied on was that he had more firearms than the Tatars and Liu Zhong, and had sufficient gunpowder storage.

This time Baofeng’s mine was destroyed by the Tartars. The sulfur mine near Luanchuan County is located at the northern foot of Xiong’er Mountain, while Gao Yihuan’s site is at the southern foot of the mountain range. It is very inconvenient to transport supplies. Although he has sent 1000 more people to go there Accept Luanchuan County, but the mine is not protected by a city wall, and it is inconvenient to communicate and transport. After the Qing army occupied Luoyang, they might have to give up on their own initiative.

This time Gao Yihuan brought [-] troops, of which there were five battalions of elite old battalions, and the remaining [-] were [-] young and strong men selected before.

These 2 people were originally prepared to be trained as regular soldiers, making Gao Yihuan's elite soldiers reach 5, but now they can only be used as auxiliary soldiers and cannon fodder.

At this time, Gao Yihuan reined in the horse with one hand, held the whip in the other, and lifted the iron helmet on his head to get a better view.

Everyone looked at it from a high position, and saw that the blue rebel army and the Baijia Qing army lined up on the city of Ruzhou, and the defense force was very abundant.

"Jieshuai, if we attack the city with all our strength, what should we do if Duoduo's army suddenly kills us?" Jin Shenghuan asked worriedly after glancing at the city.

After hearing this, Gao Yihuan turned around and called out, "Wang Deren!"

"Humble job!" Wang Deren immediately cupped his fists.

Gao Yihuan looked at the enemy soldiers at the top of the wall, gritted his teeth, and said, "Lead your [-] elite troops around the city, go to the north of the city, choose a dangerous place to fortify, and block the way for the Tartars to escape north. This commander will kill all the people in the city." brute."

He added: "In addition, after you are stationed in the camp, you still need to monitor the movements of the Luoyang Tartars. Once the Duoduo troops arrive, report immediately."

"The humble post takes orders!" Wang Deren clasped his fists, and then patted his horse away.

Gao Yihuan stared at the top of the city, everything has a reason, the Qing army deliberately provoked himself, there must be an attempt.

Duoduo has made outstanding military exploits throughout his life. He sent troops to four towns along the way, slaughtered Yangzhou, and fell into Nanjing. He was not an idiot, but a more difficult enemy to deal with.

Although Gao Yihuan was angry, she would not be reckless.

At this time, he pulled the rein, "All the generals will return to the tent with me to discuss matters and discuss matters concerning the siege of the city."

At that moment, all the people waved their horsewhips and galloped down the mound towards the big tent.

In the camp, more than [-] soldiers worked together to make various siege equipment, and the peasants who rushed over also joined in.

These civilian men had just buried more than ten thousand corpses in the mine, and they were extremely afraid of the Tartars in their hearts. They all hoped that Gao Yihuan would wipe out the Tartars in the city, and they worked hard with their lives.

At the top of the city, the soldiers of the Qing army were sitting and preparing. They watched as the ladders, siege towers, shield vehicles, catapults and other equipment rose up one by one. The city gradually felt tense.

On the 21st of the first lunar month, military tents spread across Longmen Pass in the south of Luoyang City.

The main force of the Qing army was not under the city of Luoyang, but at Longmen Pass.

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, after passing Mengjindu, Li Yan and Bai Wang retreated to Luoyang and concentrated their forces in Luoyang for reinforcements.

After the Duoduo army arrived at the city of Luoyang, they immediately divided their troops and quickly captured Xin'an, Dengfeng, Shiyan, Gongxian, Luoning, Yiyang, Yichuan and other counties around Luoyang. Contact with Kaifeng government garrison.

After sweeping up and surrendering the surrounding counties of Luoyang, making Luoyang an isolated city, Duoduo kidnapped young men from various places and began to dig trenches to besiege the city.

At this time, he learned from Liu Zhong who surrendered that after Gao Yihuan had a mine in Baofeng, he sent Shen Zhixiang to lead an army of [-] Han to destroy Gao Yihuan's mine together with Liu Zhong. Moved to Longmen Pass.

Just like Gao Yihuan's analysis, it is impossible for Duoduo to let Gao Yihuan tens of thousands of soldiers and horses watch him attack Luoyang. In case he is exhausted from attacking, Gao Yihuan will suddenly attack him again, he can't stand it .

Out of this consideration, Duoduo did not attack Luoyang directly, but wanted to deal with Gao Yihuan first.

In the big tent of the Qing army that day, Duoduo looked at the envoy who was released by Gao Yihuan, but he was not angry.

Because he had no expectation of recruiting Gao Yihuan, he sent someone there, mainly to tell Gao Yihuan that he surrounded Luoyang and let Gao Yihuan lead the troops to fight him, so that he could solve Gao Yihuan's threat as soon as possible.

At this time, the curtain was suddenly raised by someone, and Bei Zitun hurried in, saluted and reported, "My lord, Mr. Xu Shun urgently reported that Gao Manzi has killed him in Ruzhou!"
