Chapter 557
At the south gate of Yancheng, Gao Yihuan was riding a horse, surrounded by the generals of the brigade, preparing to enter the city.

Outside the city gate, nearly a thousand Qing troops were escorted out by the defenders, and they all lined up to be beheaded.

Humans are very strange things. Once they lose their will and hope, they are more obedient than pigs. Thousands of Qing soldiers would just line up obediently, waiting to be beheaded.

Yancheng did not surrender, it was a city attacked by Wei Wujun. Gao Yihuan was also quite cruel to the Qing army who dared to resist.

Several Shun factions that participated in the siege this time killed many people, and those responsible for the beheading were also soldiers of the Shun army, and many generals even performed the swords themselves.

Gao Yihuan rode his horse to the city gate, squinting his eyes to the side of the city gate, just in time to see Hao Yaoqi raising his sword and cutting off the head of a red-armored soldier.When he stabbed down, the entire head of the Qing soldiers fell to the ground, and the neck was neatly cut open. Blood spurted for a while before the headless corpse fell forward.

"Here we go!" After beheading a head, Hao Yaoqi was not happy, and called his subordinates to push up another Qing soldier, and then beheaded him again.

For a moment, people's heads rolled outside the city, and the dark red blood gathered into a stream, and the blood gathered together with foam, which was shocking.

Hao Yaoqi chopped very happily, and today he really discovered that the Qing army was the same, and it was no different from other people when they were killed.

In the Jiashen year, the Qing army entered the pass, and the Shun army was defeated in the battle of Jizhou. After that, they fled from Beijing to Taiyuan, and from Taiyuan to Xi'an, and finally were completely defeated by the Qing army in Guanzhong.

In Taiyuan, in northern Shaanxi, the defeated soldiers of the Shun Army knelt on the ground like this, and let the Tartars slaughter them one by one.

More than 7000 Shunjun soldiers in Tongguan, as well as Wushan Bo Ma Shiyao, were killed by the Qing army at one time. These Hao Yaoqi and Shunjun soldiers all know.

These things weighed heavily on the minds of the remnants of the Shun army, leaving them nowhere to vent, and even doubted themselves, feeling that they were inferior to the Tartars and could not beat the Tartars at all.That kind of despair caused many people to give up resistance, and thousands of people were slaughtered obediently.

Now they discovered that the defeat of the Tartars is also a virtue, and everyone is the same.

Gao Yihuan glanced at the front, rode his horse into the city, and ordered: "Hu Chen, hurry up and organize people to repair the city, and then notify Hu Cao to transport a batch of grain and grass materials into the city."

Jin Shenghuan nodded, "Don't worry, commander, the humble job has already been repaired!"

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, and suddenly asked: "By the way, has there been any news from Hanzhong in the past few days?"

Fang Jiayu clasped his hands and said: "General Zhou sent back the news that Zhang Xianzhong and Wu Sangui fought fiercely for many days. Wu Sangui had an elite army, while Zhang Xianzhong had a large number of people. The two sides barely drew. Now the Western Army and Wu Sangui are still fighting in Feng County and Wudu Mountain."

Gao Yihuan frowned, "Why did you fight from Dasan Pass to Mount Wudu?"

Fang Jiayu said: "Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Army, after all, was the most elite troops in the Ming Dynasty, with more than ten years of experience in battle. Although Zhang Xianzhong has many soldiers, most of them were recruited in recent years, so naturally there is still a gap .”

As he said that, Fang Jiayu cupped his hands, "Commander, a letter from General Zhou, saying that Zhang Xianzhong wants the commander to provide a batch of firearms, and the price is negotiable!"

Gao Yihuan couldn't help pondering for a while, at this moment, Chen Mingxia came over on horseback, "Marshal, a letter from Jiangnan!"

"Oh?" Gao Yihuan hurriedly took it, read it quickly, then turned over the letter paper, and read it again carefully.

Suddenly Gao Yi laughed, turned his head to Fang Jiayu and said: "As for Zhang Xianzhong's desire for firearms, he said that this commander is going to fight the main force of the Qing army in eastern Henan. The firearms are very expensive and cannot be produced for the time being."

There are still some firearms in the storeroom, there are not too many, but if you squeeze, you can always get some out.

As soon as Fang Jiayu's eyes moved, he noticed something, and asked suddenly: "Commander, do you want to inform General Zhou that they should come back first?"

Gao Yihuan glanced at him, and said lightly: "Now is not the time, wait a few more days!"

"Marshal, what is written in the letter?" Jin Shenghuan asked beside him.

Gao Yi laughed and said: "Cheng Xun wrote in a letter saying that the battle in Jiangbei was fierce, and both the Ming army and the Tatars were killed and injured. In the entire Jiangbei battle, the Tartars still have the upper hand and are the attacking side, but the Ming army and navy are powerful. Reinforcement soldiers and volunteers came to reinforce and temporarily held the front line of Yangzhou."

Jin Shenghuan immediately understood why Gao Yihuan's attitude towards Zhang Xianzhong had changed, and said in a deep voice, "The commander-in-chief is planning to attack Guanzhong?"

"The gains and losses on the front line of Yangzhou are of great importance. Now that the Ming army is barely resisting, I don't have to worry about Nanjing's collapse for the time being. Duoduo is waiting for my commander to save Nanjing. He puts on a posture to fight with me. My commander is not as good as that." What he wants." Gao Yihuan waved his hand and said, "Send down an order to summon the generals to discuss matters, and bring back Wu Shizhao from Xuzhou."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yihuan clamped his horse's belly and entered Yancheng County Yamen together with the others.

Gao Yihuan regards the yamen lobby as a temporary festival hall, first the audience will report and harvest, except that the Qing army is all awarded heads, the other income is actually nothing to report.

When Wei Wujun abandoned Yancheng, there were not many cannons in the city. After the Qing army occupied Yancheng, they did not put too many things in the city.

This point, Gao Yihuan also understands, Duoduo's plan is to lure him to the Eastern Henan Plain, and then annihilate him.

If the Qing army heavily guarded Yancheng, Gao Yihuan would definitely not dare to move.Therefore, for the Qing army, Yancheng was a tasteless one.

In the evening of the next day, Wu Shizhao rushed to Yancheng, and all the generals gathered in the temporary festival hall.

Gao Yihuan stood in front of a huge sand table, glanced at everyone solemnly, and said, "Everyone, it's time to achieve my Wei Wujun supremacy!"

After hearing this, many generals couldn't help being refreshed, and they all stood up straight, puffing out their small chests.

Gao Yihuan went on to say: "Now the main force of the Tartars is fighting fiercely with the Ming army in Jiangbei, Wu Sangui and Zhang Xianzhong are fighting in Hanzhong, and Guanzhong is empty. This is a god-sent opportunity for our army to capture Guanzhong and outflank Wu Sangui. God will not take it, but take the blame! Shuai decided to send soldiers to Guanzhong!"

In the festival hall, after hearing this, all the generals couldn't help looking at each other, with different expressions, some excited, some excited, and some nervous.

"Mr. Lu, the food prepared by the Commander-in-Chief is ready!" Gao Yihuan first asked about the food.

Lu Yifang stood up and solemnly clasped his fists, "Commander, I have prepared 30 shi of rice grain in Nanyang. As long as the commander opens the Wuguan Road, the grain can be transported to Guanzhong. In addition, the granary in Xiangyang is also full of rice. After the spring You can take Danshui and transport it to Guanzhong!"

The food in Huguang, coupled with the Qin army in Guanzhong, will be the capital for Gao Yihuan to fight against the Qing Dynasty and strive for hegemony.

The people in Guanzhong are tough, but there is a shortage of food. To gain a firm foothold, there must be sufficient food. Therefore, Gao Yihuan is most concerned about food reserves.
