Chapter 542 Liu Heizi Is Not Dead Yet
The rockets of Wei Wu's army screamed in the middle of the night, and Duoduo had to mobilize a large number of troops to leave the camp to drive the small group of Wei Wu's troops out of the camp.

There were several small battles between the two sides, and the Qing army who came out of the camp stepped on a lot of mines and lost more than 20 soldiers before forcing the Wei Wu army to retreat.

One hour before dawn, as the rockets disappeared and the flames were extinguished, the Qing army's barracks and the city of Shangqiu gradually became quiet.

However, after such an incident, the Qing army could no longer sleep, and the Liu Jun at the head of the city was also very excited. Under Liu Heizi's command, he moved the rolling stone and wood onto the city wall like a chicken blood.

Liu Heizi asked Mrs. Deng to go to Yangzhou to escape the war. As soon as Mrs. Deng left Shangqiu, spies reported to Gao Yihuan.

Although they are brothers, there are actually quite a few spies of Gao Yihuan in the Liu Department.

The two armies have cooperated many times and the relationship is very friendly. It is not particularly difficult for Gao Yihuan to arrange eyeliner in Liu Jun.

Originally, Gao Yihuan didn't have many eyeliners in Liu Jun, but after the Battle of Runing, Gao Yihuan felt that Comrade Liu Heizi was not reliable, so he ordered Xuan Yiwei to further infiltrate Liu Jun and develop more eyeliners.

After Gao Yihuan got the news that Liu Heizi sent his family members away, he was very disappointed with Liu Heizi. At the critical moment, Liu Heizi still wanted to rely on the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Heizi sent the Deng family away to avoid disaster, which also showed that he was not firm enough and might escape. .

Gao Yihuan wrote a letter immediately, and then sent someone to find Mrs. Deng, saying that he would send troops to take Mrs. Deng to Nanyang.

For Liu Heizi, this news was like a bolt from the blue, and he was instantly stunned.

When he recovered, Liu Heizi stood at the top of the city tirelessly, commanding the soldiers to deploy defenses, boosting morale, and wanted to live and die with Shangqiu.

At dawn, the cavalry of the Qing army came out everywhere. The cavalry of the brigade went west to investigate the traces of Wei Wujun, and finally found that it was only a small group of cavalry. They avoided the sentry cavalry of the Qing army and touched Shangqiu in the dark. Stand still.

In the Qing army commander's tent, Duoduo frowned after hearing the report from Heluohui, and turned to Azig and said, "It's a false alarm, Gao Manzi is trying to distract us so that we can't take the city. Consume our forces in the siege."

Azige didn't really fight Gao Yihuan, but now it seems that Gao Yihuan is indeed a difficult character, "Looking at the movement in the city last night, the morale of the defenders must be boosted. Gao Manzi's goal has been achieved. How will the fifteenth brother deal with it?" ?”

Duoduo was silent, and with Gao Yihuan watching, this battle was indeed difficult to fight.

The Qing army continued to attack, the losses were huge, and they might not be able to take the city. The army had to beware of Gao Yihuan's sudden attack when the army was tired from attacking the city.In this way, the Qing army had scruples and could not attack the city with all its strength, and Gao Yihuan's goal was achieved.

If there is no strong attack, time will be consumed, and the resources of the Qing Dynasty will not be able to consume the land of the Southern Dynasty.

"There is only one way now, and that is to force Gao Yihuan to send troops!" Duoduo said angrily.

Duoduo is ready, as long as Gao Yihuan dares to send troops, Duoduo is confident to defeat Gao Yihuan on the plain.

Azig frowned, "What are you going to do?"

Duoduo pondered for a while, "There are only two ways now, one is to continue to storm the city and see if Gao Yihuan comes to help, the other is to force Nanjing to force Gao Yihuan to rescue!"

"Which method is the fifteenth brother going to adopt?" Azig asked.

Duoduo said in a deep voice: "Gao Manzi didn't move his troops secretly, he was just waiting for the opportunity to send troops. This guy is not a loyal minister of the Southern Dynasty, nor is he a hero with a low righteousness, but a traitor with wolfish ambitions. He will not consider Shangqiu The life and death of the defenders will not be obeyed by the small court in Nanjing. If Gao Manzi wants to send troops, there are only two possibilities, one is that he feels that the time has come, and the other is that he has to send troops!"

Azig frowned, and nodded slightly. If Gao Manzi is really like what Doduo described, then this person is really a character.

Duoduo continued: "If Gao Yihuan wants to send troops, the first way is to make Gao Yihuan feel that our army has suffered heavy losses under the city of Shangqiu. The army has been unable to attack for a long time, and morale is low. He has a chance of winning by sending troops. However, the initiative of this method is still in the In the hands of Gao Yihuan, he can send troops, or he can continue to watch us consume, and retreat by himself when we run out of food, so I am not optimistic about this strategy. The second method is to lock up Shangqiu and Xuzhou, and then I set up an ambush. While besieging the city and fighting for aid, the twelfth brother approached Nanjing in a destructive manner, making Gao Manzi think that if he did not send troops, the Southern Dynasty would be destroyed. Although Gao Manzi was not loyal to the Southern Dynasty, he could not watch the Qing Dynasty occupy the south of the Yangtze River. If there is no risk of annihilation, he will definitely send troops to rescue, and then I will be able to surround and annihilate him in the Eastern Henan Plain."

This is almost the same as what Azige came to discuss with Duoduo. Azige nodded, "Okay, then follow this idea. Once the Huaihe River freezes, the entire Jiangbei will be a smooth road for the Eight Banners cavalry. When the time comes, I will suppress Nanjing, Fifteenth Brother, you set up your net and wait for Gao Manzi. If this battle is fought well, our Qing Dynasty’s unification of the world will be irreversible."

Now the two discussed some details, and Azig took the guards and headed for Xuzhou.

Runing City, in order to contain the Qing army, Gao Yihuan had already arrived in Runing City from Nanyang.

For more than a month, Gao Yihuan's main force stood still, but he made frequent small movements and did not do less.

In addition to sending people to contact Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yihuan also sent a large number of firearms to Nanjing to strengthen the strength of the Ming army.

Eighty-nine out of ten of the wealth in the world are gathered in the south of the Yangtze River. The gains and losses in the south of the Yangtze River can be said to be crucial to the impact of the world situation.

The Qing army now has advantages in military strength and combat power. If it occupies Jiangnan, its manpower, financial resources, and material resources will also increase exponentially.Moreover, the Qing army will not be restrained in using Jiangnan's material and financial resources like the Nanjing court. If the Qing army occupies Jiangnan, it will definitely use Jiangnan's financial resources to compete for the world regardless of the consequences.

Although this will destroy Jiangnan, the Qing army will not care about this. They can use various means, even directly grabbing resources to obtain resources.This will inevitably lead to an explosive increase in the strength of the Qing army, and it will be difficult to reverse the general trend.

If the Qing army recruited 50 troops from the Southern Ming Dynasty as it did in history, then the Qing army's strength would be close to one million, and it would be difficult for Gao Yihuan to compete with it.

This time, Gao Yihuan sent a small group of cavalry to intersect the front line of Shangqiu and Xuzhou, not only to investigate the situation of the battle, but also to cheer up the defenders and cause trouble for the Qing army, hoping to drag the Qing army into the quagmire of war.

At this time, in Gao Yihuan's temporary festival hall, the travel-worn Huang Bingzhong entered the lobby, saluted Gao Yihuan who was sitting on a big horse with a golden sword, and said, "Marshal, it's a shame that I did not disgrace my life, and touched the outside of Shangqiu City."

Gao Yihuan frowned, "Is Shangqiu still in Liu Heizi's hands?"

"The defenders are still holding on! According to the command of the commander, the humble officer attacked the Qing camp with rockets and shot the commander's letter into the city!" Huang Bingzhong clasped his fists.

"Okay, good job! I will remember you!" Gao Yihuan praised, thinking, "Has Liu Heizi not died after more than a month? It seems that Duoduo won't be able to take down Shangqiu anytime soon."
