Chapter 540 Brother Gao Came to Rescue Me

The night in early October was a bit cool, the sky was covered with dark clouds, covering the stars and the moon, and the dark night enveloped the earth.

In the middle of the night, there was silence inside and outside the city, only the torch on the city wall was blown by the wind and made a whirring sound.

Liu Heizi was wearing a suit of armor, with his sword in his hand, standing at a collapsed section in the north of the city. The soldiers were moving away the scattered corpses, and carrying earth and rocks to repair the city wall.

Nearly a thousand people were busy, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressed and hopeless.

At this moment, Liu Heizi stared sternly at a section of the city wall that was destroyed by the Qing army, which was three feet wide. Although the soldiers repaired it, the defensive effect of the city wall was greatly reduced.

Although there is enough food and equipment in the city, it is no longer an easy task to defend the city.

This is not to say how powerful the Qing army outside the city is, but that there is something wrong with the defenders' hearts, and they see no hope of winning.

At this time, the city was besieged for more than a month. There were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the south, and none of them came to support them. Abandoned, the feeling that no one will come to rescue them.

Facing the Qing army, the defenders in the city could not rely on their own strength to win. They had to rely on external forces to have a chance to win. Now that there is no reinforcements, what if they continue to defend?How about another month, two months?No one comes to rescue, the city will eventually fall, and everyone will die.

Under such circumstances, the soldiers inevitably felt hopeless, and it was this hopelessness that made Liu Heizi feel uneasy.

At this time, a general said from the side: "Commander, counting the time, regardless of the south, it is time for Commander Gao to send troops. Why is there no movement now?"

Liu Heizi's face was gloomy as Guisun didn't open which pot he lifted, but it was hard to detect his expression in the darkness.

"Hehe, don't worry, neither the imperial court nor my brother Gao will sit back and watch Shangqiu and Xuzhou fall. They will definitely send troops, but the army needs to be prepared for the expedition, so don't worry." Liu Heizi smiled and comforted, and immediately He added: "However, we can't pin all our hopes on them. We must defend the city before we can wait for reinforcements."

Liu Heizi remained calm on the surface, but his hand was already clenched on the handle of the knife, and he was filled with hatred in his heart. He had already scolded Gao Yi eight hundred times, "I think I was just an ordinary rogue back then, a sophomore in high school, the son of a bitch, insisting on Pulled Lao Tzu to Shandong to provoke Tartars, and let Lao Tzu offend Tartars. Now Tartars come to the door, and the sophomore of Donkey Day doesn’t care about Lao Tzu. It’s so fucking unethical! If the turtle grandson doesn’t come to save Lao Zi, I will be a ghost I won't let you go."

A few miles away from the city, torches were lit everywhere in the camp of the Qing army, and soldiers with torches were patrolling around the camp, and the defense was very tight.

Since being attacked by Gao Yihuan last time, Duoduo has strengthened his defense at night to prevent similar situations from happening again.

Now Dodo can tell people with his chest that no one is going to attack his camp.

At this time, outside the big tent of the Chinese army in the Qing army camp, there were white armored soldiers holding torches all around, and the inside of the big tent was also brightly lit.

Inside the cowhide tent, several large waxes were burning, illuminating the tent, and a small table was placed on the bed in the center. Two men with bald scalps and only three-inch pigtails on the back of their heads sat on the table. On both sides of the table, there is a large pot of boiled pork on the table, and two daggers are stuck in the pig's head.

These two were King Azig of the Qing Dynasty, and King Duoduo of Doro County. They were discussing the current battle situation while cutting pork with a dagger and stuffing it into the corners of their mouths.

Azige put a piece of bloodshot pork into his mouth and chewed it. After eating it, he said to Duoduo: "Fifth brother, the walls of Xuzhou City are high and thick. The king besieged it for a month, and there were many casualties. There has been no damage recently." The city is possible. If the army stays in Xuzhou and Shangqiu for a long time, so that Gao Mingheng has time to prepare for the battle, it will be very disadvantageous to us!"

Duoduo nodded, "I'm also worried about this. If every city is attacked like this, if we don't hit Nanjing, we will be exhausted!"

"That's right! This is what I am most worried about. The longer we are blocked by Xuzhou, the more prepared we will be in the south, and the stronger the will to resist. This king sees that we have to change our current style of play, and we must fight our way out again. Qing's aura will make the barbarians fearful, so they will surrender!" Azige looked at Duoduo, and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.

This time the Southern Expedition did not appear to be overwhelming. Apart from the strength of Gao Jiezhen and Liu Heizi, the main reason was that the Ming army's fear of the Qing army had decreased.

Gao Yihuan beheaded Man Dahai and sent Kong Youde to Nanjing to be hacked to death, which somewhat boosted the arrogance of the Ming army.

This made the Ming army less afraid of the Qing army, and as long as the Ming army dared to fight, even if the combat power was inferior, the Qing army could not afford the loss of five or six lives for the life of a Tartar.

Duoduo's face was a bit ugly, "What does Brother Twelve mean?"

"This king wants to besiege Xuzhou with deep trenches, lock Gao Jie in the city, and then wait for the Huaihe River to freeze, then lead the cavalry southward, break through the Huaihe River defense line of the Ming army, and then go straight to Yangzhou. If the army can quickly drink horses from the Yangtze River, it will surely make the barbarians Terrible!" Azig's face was full of murderous intent, but he changed the subject and said worriedly: "However, Manzi Gao stood still, presumably he was waiting for some opportunity to fight, this king is a little worried, he will outflank the king's rear at a critical moment !"

Duoduo laughed and said, "Brother Twelve, don't worry about this, I have already prepared for it. If Gao Manzi dares to go out of the southern Henan mountain area and run to the eastern Henan plain, he will be courting death. I have already made Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming prepare , as soon as Gao Manzi's main force comes out, the horse army will attack and outflank his rear, and when he is on the plain, our horse army will attack, and he will never come back."

Duduo's face was full of hatred, and he became angry when he mentioned Gao Yihuan.

This time he had already made preparations, and even looked forward to Gao Yihuan's coming to rescue Shangqiu. As long as Gao Yihuan dared to come, he could use cavalry to trap Gao Yihuan to death.

At that time, let Geng Zhongming cut off Gao Yihuan's food route, and then he will lead the horse army there. defeat.

Duoduo was thinking about it, when the curtain was suddenly lifted, and He Luohui rushed in with a panicked expression, "My lord, something is wrong, the camp was raided."

Duoduo and Azig looked at each other, and Duduo's face was instantly ferocious, and he couldn't believe it. How could the king's camp be impregnable, how could he be attacked by someone.

"Quickly, bring me this king's armor!" Duoduo jumped up and shouted anxiously.

On the top of the city, Liu Heizi saw that the soldiers had almost repaired the city wall, and was about to turn around and go down the city, when the stern general next to him suddenly exclaimed, "Commander, look at the Tartar camp!"

Liu Heizi turned his head to look, and saw several bolides whizzing across the dark night sky, falling into the Qing army camp, and the camp suddenly burst into flames.

"Hahaha~ Brother Gao is here to save me!" Liu Heizi slapped his thigh as soon as he saw it, and his spirit instantly lifted.

The soldiers of the Liu Department on the city wall cheered instantly, tall, handsome, benevolent and righteous!Everyone burst into tears with excitement~
