Chapter 453 Give Dodo a Surprise

After the Qing army entered the customs, they did not gain much from plundering in the north, and their gains were very limited.

They had looted the north six times before, and Li Zicheng looted it again on the eve of entering the customs. Most of the states and counties were impoverished.

In addition, after the Qing army entered the customs, in order to gain a firm foothold and win people's hearts, it somewhat changed the attitude of massacring and looting before entering the customs. Only when they encountered resistance, or the city was rich, did they find an excuse to massacre the city. Ministries, the income is very limited.

The Qing army is a bandit interest group, and it can be united because there are interests to divide. It has not been harvested for a long time, which naturally makes people dissatisfied. I was full of complaints.

At this time, the [-] Qing troops rushed down to the city happily with the intention of coming to Runing for a catastrophe, but seeing the flags flying on the top of the city, and the soldiers standing in a row, they looked like they were ready to fight, and they couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Doesn't it sound like you're going to run?The Qing army, who were about to enter the city to rob and make a fortune, were stunned.

Doduo rode on the horse, held the rein, looked up at Runing City, and frowned.

His initial judgment was that Liu Shun, the general of Guibian, ran away, and Gao Yihuan's men and horses were in turmoil. In addition, the Qing army in Guanzhong was pressing down on Wuguan.

Seeing that Gao Yihuan sent [-] soldiers to stop him, Doduo was even more convinced of his judgment. He believed that Gao Yihuan was moving and sent troops to stop him to cover his escape to the south. But now it seems that Gao Yihuan not only did not escape, but also strengthened Ru Ning His defense surprised him.

"My lord, this~" Geng Zhongming looked at the top of the wall, depressed.

The Qing army scrambled to rush to Runing, thinking that Runing was already in chaos and could rush in to loot, but now they were surprised to see Wei Wujun waiting in full force.

Duoduo took a look at the city and was a little confused about Gao Yihuan's intentions, but Nanjing was unstable and would change his attitude towards the Qing Dynasty at any time, so Duoduo was already on the verge of riding a tiger, and he had to defeat Gao Yihuan, otherwise he would have no chance in the future.

Now there are many soldiers on the city, and the artillery is roaring. Duoduo has not prepared any equipment, and it is definitely not possible to attack the city directly.

With a gloomy face on his face, he pulled the reins of his horse and said, "The army set up camp first, and Gao Manzi hid in the city. Although it was safe for the time being, it was a stupid act. It was tantamount to giving up the ability to exercise. Sleepy. If he has no reinforcements, he will have to wait to die."

As he said that, Duoduo raised his horsewhip, "Let the army monitor the four gates, and all the generals will discuss matters in the king's tent!"

After hearing Duoduo's words, the generals felt relieved, yes, the isolated city cannot be guarded for a long time, Gao Yihuan didn't run away quickly, but hid in the city instead, he became a turtle in an urn.

When Duoduo led the generals to observe the city, Gao Yihuan on the top of the city was also observing the Qing army who had killed the city.

"Marshal, the three generals Zhao, Xu, and Hu have entered the city from the west city!" Bai Wenxuan walked over, glanced at the densely packed Qing army outside the city, and said, licking his lips.

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, "Da Xian and Hei Hu are all right!"

"The three generals are all good, but the brothers have lost a lot." Bai Wenxuan said.

Hearing that the three generals were fine, Gao Yihuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, let them go to rest first, and don't need to come over to report. In addition, check the soldiers who entered the city to prevent the Qing army's secret agents from mixing in. After confirming safety, they will be put into the inner city from the urn city. "

"Yes! I'll do it right now!" Bai Wenxuan bowed and clasped his fists.

Gao Yihuan nodded, waved him back, and then looked at Li Yan who was aside, "Sir, the craftsmen, machines, and supplies outside the city should all be withdrawn."

Li Yan said: "Don't worry, Marshal, the craftsmen and workshop equipment have all moved to the city. The people in the other suburbs will enter the city if they are close, and retreat to the fort if they are far away, or enter the county towns to take refuge."

After finishing speaking, Li Yan said worriedly: "Commander, it is not easy for Ru Ning to be able to have today, we must drive away the Dong Lu as soon as possible, otherwise the whole house of Runing will be destroyed, and it may take another few years to recover. vitality."

Gao Yihuan asked Zhao Daxian to stop Duoduo in order to buy time for preparations, transfer supplies, let the common people enter the city, and those who entered the fort enter the fort, so as to avoid too much loss.

Originally, Gao Yihuan was thinking, let go of Runing City in one go, and after Duoduo entered the city, he would break into the city from the tunnel and set fire to Runing City, but considering that the [-] Qing troops may not all enter the city to rest, if there are [-] If people are outside the city, if they burn the city and cannot block the gates, that is also a waste of fire.

In addition, it is his own family business after all, so the loss will be too great, and the subordinates also object.

Gao Yihuan didn't feel distressed, but his subordinates and officials felt distressed, and he would definitely hurt the people, so he canceled this bold plan.

After listening to Li Yan's words, Gao Yihuan found himself getting darker and more concerned about weighing his own gains and losses instead of really thinking about the people first.

Gao Yihuan came back to his senses and nodded, "This commander loves the people like a son, so naturally he doesn't want to see the Tartars harm the people. Sir, seeing my calm face, I am actually more anxious than anyone else. Don't worry, sir. This commander has been in trouble for the past two days. Just give Duoduo a generous gift, and guarantee that this guy will retreat."

As he spoke, he glanced outside the city, and saw the Qing army retreating from the camp, so he waved his hand, "Come on, everyone follow me to the warehouse!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and then led the crowd down the city wall, heading for the city.

The circumference of Runing City is only more than ten miles, which is not considered a big city. The space in the city is limited, so many workshops are built outside the city.

Now that the Qing army was approaching the city, the workshops and warehouses outside the city could only be moved to the city, including the Cannon Workshop, which were temporarily moved to the city.

Gao Yihuan and his party rode slowly on their horses, and came to Chongwang Palace, and dismounted from their horses. There were more than ten soldiers guarding in front of the palace gate, holding spears and holding sabers.

This place was originally sealed, but there are too many things outside the city, so the palace has become a temporary place to store supplies.

The cannon-making workshop outside the city was transferred here, and it was closely guarded by soldiers.

Gao Yihuan was surrounded by people, and when he entered the palace, someone greeted him, and he immediately said: "Chen Qijian, take me to see your inventory!"

Outside the city, the Qing army directly used the workshop in the northern suburbs as a temporary camp.

At this time, many Qing generals gathered in a room, and Duoduo said with a gloomy face: "Gao Manzi wanted to defend Runing, presumably because he got the news that the small court in Nanjing might send troops, and wanted to hold on to the city, waiting for the situation to change. But I have people in Nanjing in the Qing Dynasty. It will take at least a month for the small imperial court to send out troops. It will not take a day or two for the army to go to battle and prepare equipment, food and grass. In short, if Nanjing moves, the king will Received the news, so we have enough time to deal with Gao Manzi."

Many Qing generals nodded when they heard the words, and Duoduo continued: "Now this king is ordering, King Bad Shun, you have people bring the artillery here as soon as possible, King Gong Shun, you will send troops to attack everywhere early tomorrow morning, and destroy the nearby villages. And the barbarians in the county are all captured, ready to drive them to attack the city~"
