Chapter 456

That day, the looting Qing army went out happily and returned to the camp with a depressed face.

They thought that after entering the village, they would catch chickens and pigs, but they found that all the villages had been built with walls and fortresses, making it impossible for the small Qing army to attack.

The Qing army's gains were pitiful, not even enough to add a little meat.

That night, Wei Wujun went out of the city again and attacked two unfinished camps, but was driven back to the city by the Qing army.

In the next few days, the Qing army still went out everywhere, but it was obviously a bit thankless for them to fight village by village. The Qing army changed from looting all over the country to attacking nearby counties and fortresses with a large population.

At this time, the Qing army's east and west camps were built, and Duoduo sent 8000 people to garrison each, and another 4000 people to take turns monitoring the south gate, and the remaining 2 people were stationed in the north camp.

The Qing army had a large number of horse troops, and the people in the city had no choice but to attack the two camps. If they fled from the south gate, the horse troops in the west camp could quickly support them.

After the two camps were built, Wei Wujun stopped going out to harass the city, while the Qing army was monitoring the city while making preparations before attacking the city.

In the next few days, the horse troops of the Qing army who left the camp returned to the camp one after another, and the number of captured people gradually reached more than [-].

Although Gao Yihuan made people publicize the ferocity of the Tartars before, but because Wei Wujun fought the Tartars several times, they were all outside of southern Henan, and the flames of war did not reach Runing, so some people didn't take it seriously.

Many people, if things do not fall on their own heads, do not threaten their interests and lives, they will not resist out of public interest.

This time when the Qing army entered Runing, the horse army was everywhere, attacking the city, pulling out villages, killing people and taking people away, especially after capturing Suiping County, they massacred people and kidnapped young men and women, which shocked the whole of southern Henan. .

The militia groups and settlements in the counties and forts were frightened by the brutality of the Qing army. The young and strong patrolled the city walls day and night, standing on the heights of the forts and looking at them. Men, women, even the elderly and children, all went up to the fort walls.

At this time, they all knew that the Qing army was brutal. Once they broke through the city and captured the fortress, their property would be robbed, their parents would be killed, and their wives would be captured.

When Li Zicheng was active in Henan before, people from all over Zhongzhou built forts and built villages to fight against the thieves and the government. Now the brutality of the Qing army aroused their sense of resistance and they all fought desperately.

Runing is a prefecture with a large population. Duoduo originally thought that he could capture 30 to 2 people to participate in the siege, but in the past ten days, less than [-] people were captured, which was far lower than his expectation.

This result made him very dissatisfied, and at the same time strengthened his determination to destroy Gao Yihuan.

This guy is too powerful, he can't be killed, Duoduo can't sleep and eat, and the Qing Dynasty can't sit still.

On December [-]th, after the night is the New Year, the Qing army transporting cannons in red clothes, as well as food and supplies, finally arrived at the Runing North Camp.

This is good news for Duduo.

In the evening, the endless Qing army camp gradually became quiet from the noise of the day.

After the red cannons of the Qing army arrived, all the troops realized that the siege was about to begin. Except for the soldiers on patrol, most of the soldiers of the Qing army entered the tents to rest early, and the camp gradually fell into darkness.

At this time, the festival hall of Duoduo was still brightly lit, and several Qing generals gathered together, listening to Duduo's orders.

Duoduo looked at Kong Youde and said, "The cannon has arrived. Tomorrow you will arrange manpower to bombard the city."

Kong Youde nodded, "Don't worry, my lord, within five days, I promise to make a hole for my lord."

Kong Youde is still very confident in the use of artillery.When the Ming Dynasty hired a group of Portuguese mercenaries, Kong Youde learned a lot from them.

It was with this set of things that the Qing army's casting and use of artillery surpassed the Ming Dynasty, and he was reused by Huang Taiji.

Duoduo nodded when he saw this, and looked at Geng Zhongming, "After the artillery blasts through the gap, the prisoners must be driven to attack the city. The population captured by your department must be able to keep up with the consumption."

Geng Zhongming lowered his head, his face was ashamed, "Humble position and honor, I must capture 10 people before attacking the city."

Previously, every time the Qing army entered the customs, they could easily abduct tens of 10 people. How come it is so difficult to catch some people in the south of Henan, and Geng Zhongming was very depressed.

Seeing that both of them expressed their opinions, Duoduo nodded slightly, then waved and said, "Okay, you guys go to rest!"

After saluting, the two left together, and when they walked out of the room, it was already dark.

In the city, in the festival hall of Gao Yihuan's Shuai Mansion, there were also generals and schools gathered.

Gao Yihuan walked in, and all the soldiers stood up to greet him. Gao Yihuan waved his hands and asked them to sit down. The baggage and artillery have finally arrived outside the city. Today is the New Year’s Eve, so everyone worked hard all night to get the big things done, so that we can welcome the Bingxu New Year tomorrow.”

Many generals in the festival hall didn't know what Marshal Gao was going to do, so they were confused and talked a lot.

Seeing this, Gao Yihuan raised his hand and pressed it down, and said loudly, "The Qing army has been besieging the city for many days, and the horse army has looted everywhere, which has caused great damage to our Runing area. Now that the Qing army's baggage has arrived in the northern suburbs, this commander is going to send people from here. The tunnel of King Chong’s Mansion goes out of the city, and tonight we will find out the barracks and destroy the supplies and artillery of the Qing army, who of you has the guts to go?”

After Gao Yihuan finished speaking, he leaned forward and looked around at the generals with a look of anticipation.

There is actually a tunnel in the city leading to the outside of the city. Some Wei Wujun generals who didn't know it couldn't help being slightly surprised and surprised.

"Marshal, I'm willing to go!" Hu Dawei did his part.

Almost at the same time, Xu Heihu also got up and clasped his fists, "Commander, I would like to go too."

Zhao Daxian also clasped his fists closely, "I would like to go too!"

Many generals in the hall, although they don't know the real situation, are eager to try and show their skills.

Seeing that there are so many people who want to go and the pressure of competition is great, the few people who come out first are a little anxious.

Tartars plundering abroad is also a huge threat to their fields and manors, and they all want to drive them away as soon as possible.

At this moment, Bai Wenxuan also stood up, and just as he was about to speak, Hu Dawei glared at him, "You can beat me, why are you just making fun of it?"

Bai Wenxuan blushed, but he still saluted Gao Yihuan, "Marshal, leave it to the humble job!"

Gao Yihuan was in a good mood when he saw such enthusiasm, so he pressed his skills, "This tunnel is not very big, and there are not many people going out. After listening to what I said, you feel that you are competent and then fight again. This matter is of great importance. If it goes wrong, This handsome is going to cut off his head~”

As soon as he said this, he immediately frightened many people away, and those who had already stood up were immediately dumbfounded~
