Chapter 593 Mr. Misunderstood Qing Dynasty
The offensive and defensive battle of Runing kicked off, and as time went by, Qing troops from Jiangbei entered Runan one after another.

This is not only an increase in troop strength, but also a large number of artillery, which went up the Huaihe River and went up against the Ru River, and was directly transported to the city of Runing.

These artillery were originally used by the Ming Dynasty to defend against the Qing army, but now they have become a sharp weapon for the Qing army to attack Runing.

By mid-February, 20 Qing troops had gathered outside Runing City.

This time the Qing army attacked the city, unlike the previous attack, when they failed to attack, they rested and prepared for a period of time, looking for an opportunity to attack again. Instead, they took turns to attack every day. The defenders in the city suffered heavy casualties and gradually became exhausted.

Gao Yihuan took away the most elite Wei army, and most of those left in southern Henan were Type C garrison battalions. There were only six Type B battalions of elite soldiers, but they were not in Runing City.

With the fierceness of the war, the gunpowder and medicinal materials in the city are gradually running out.Every day, 2000 people were killed in battle. Most of the wounded soldiers died of infection without medical treatment. A large number of corpses could not be burned, so they had to dig big pits to bury them. The city was full of stench.

At this time, the originally firm-willed defenders began to waver, and some traitors began to fall out of the city at night and surrender to the Qing army.

In less than half a month, there were nearly 2 casualties in the city, while the Qing army paid double the casualties.

The defenders fought hard, and the Qing army also fought hard. The huge casualties made the surrendered troops who participated in the siege feel dissatisfied.

The Eight Banners soldiers would not participate in such a tragic war of attrition, and the veteran Green Battalion troops did not participate, and all the dead were newly surrendered troops.

In the past six months, the Qing army has surrendered more than [-] surrendered troops in Jiangbei, but Azig failed to capture Nanjing, and the Manchu Qing did not obtain tax land in the south of the Yangtze River.

Most of the 20 surrendered troops were not strong in combat power and consumed money and food, which became a huge burden for the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, Duoduo didn't feel distressed at all when he used the landing troops. He used the surrendered troops to consume the defenders, and at the same time reduced the consumption of money and food in the Qing Dynasty.

It's just that Jiangjun is also a human being, and they all have their own thoughts. They didn't come here to be cannon fodder.

At this time, further news from Guanzhong spread to southern Henan.Duo Duo learned that Gao Yihuan became king in Guanzhong, and the Qing army in Guanzhong was either wiped out or surrendered, so he knew that Gao Yihuan might be leaving the pass.

In Beijing, after receiving the message from Meng Qiaofang, Dorgon felt very ashamed of Gao Yihuan's claim that the Qing Dynasty could not destroy him, and urged the Qing Dynasty to rein in the precipice and stop quickly.

Dorgon sent a fast horse, first told Duo Duo that Gao Yihuan had cleared the pass, and then ordered Duo Duo to capture South Henan at all costs.

For a while, Duoduo was under tremendous pressure. Originally, he didn't plan to use the Eight Banners to attack the city, but now he didn't care about so much, and Manchuria really used it.

The offensive and defensive battle lasted for another ten days, and the city walls of Runing collapsed more and more, and it was at the end of the road.

In the original Chongwang Palace, Jin Shenghuan had an unshaven beard, his armor was damaged in many places, his body smelled of sweat and blood, and he looked very embarrassed.

The entire palace was empty, not even a single chair, and the expensive furniture had long been burned as firewood.

Jin Shenghuan pressed the knife, glanced at the people standing in the hall, and sighed: "The mission of Runing City has been completed, and this Marquis decided to break out and go to Chaya Mountain to stop the Tartars. I still have more than 1 people left there." .”

The magistrate Yu Yinglong wore an official robe that changed color, and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty has broken through, what will the more than [-] people in the city do? The Tartars have long ago ordered that any city that resists will be massacred. Fight After so long, the Tartars have killed so many people, they must kill to take revenge."

Jin Shenghuan and the other generals all lowered their heads and remained silent. The tunnel can only take away a few people, it is impossible to take away so many people.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and the golden voice said for a while: "Prefect Yu, there is no way to do this. It is meaningless for everyone to die together. We are still needed in the Anti-Qing Dynasty!"

Yu Yinglong was one of the first two talents Gao Yihuan recruited. At the beginning, he was unwilling to hang out with Gao Yihuan, but after Liang Yizhang's persuasion, he joined Gao Yihuan.

He is very senior, and there is not an acre of land in southern Henan, and he has devoted his heart and soul to every commoner.

Now that Ru Ning was beaten to pieces, he felt the most uncomfortable. At this time, Jin Shenghuan was about to give up 10,000+ people, but he couldn't get past his own hurdle.

Yu Yinglong knew that Jin Shenghuan was definitely going to leave, he was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Master, you stay here for another three days, I will go out of the city to negotiate with the Tartars, and let the Tartars allow us to release the people on the condition of opening the city." Go out of the city. Three days later, the people went far away, and Lord Hou escaped through the tunnel. So the people can survive, and Lord Hou can break through safely, how about it?"

Jin Shenghuan was slightly taken aback, and stared at Yu Yinglong, but saw his face was resolute, and his cheeks twitched a few times, "The Tartars are cruel, they found out that the Marquis has escaped, what will you do, Yu Zhifu?"

Yu Yinglong didn't speak, but Jin Shenghuan already knew what he was thinking, and sighed: "Okay, this Marquis will be on guard for three days."

On the same day, in the south city of Runing, where a section of the city wall had collapsed, a civil servant in tattered official robes and holding a small white flag suddenly appeared, walked out of the ruined wall, and walked straight to the Qing army's position not far away. .

The artillery formation outside the city was the first to spot him, and there was an uproar.

The war was extremely cruel to the soldiers on both sides. The Qing army killed more people than the Wei army. Seeing someone in the city come out with a white flag, they all cheered.

Soon Yu Yinglong was taken to Duoduo's big tent. The commander of the Qing army, with red eyes and blisters on his mouth, was obviously not feeling well.

Although the battle in southern Henan did not last as long as the war in Jiangbei, it was far more intense than Jiangbei.

During the Jiangbei War, in order to avoid casualties, the Qing army found that the city was not easy to fight, so they immediately surrounded it, and then waited for the people inside to surrender. The Qing army knew that the Ming army could not pose any threat to them. There was no counterattack, but they were passively beaten. , so the Qing army has plenty of time, but the battle in southern Henan is different. The Qing army must quickly take down Henan, otherwise there will be no chance later.

Duoduo turned around and stared at Yu Yinglong with red eyes. Nikan who was next to him pulled out his knife and shouted angrily, "Barbarian, don't kneel down when you see the prince!"

The Tartars are extremely vicious, and it is impossible not to be afraid, but once a person has the will to die, he will not be afraid.

"What does your prince have to do with me?" Yu Yinglong didn't change his face.

Nikan was furious, but Dodo stopped him with a wave of his hand.

Although Doduo looked down on the Han people, he still admired the tough guys with backbone among the Han people.

"Didn't you come to surrender? Then why can't you kneel down to me!" Duoduo and Yu Yinglong looked at each other.

But Yu Yinglong was not afraid, "I am Yu Yinglong, the prefect of Runing. I want to negotiate with you today, and I hope that your army will allow us to let the people out of the city!"

Duoduo sneered, "This king has a military order in advance. Anyone who dares to fight against the Qing Dynasty will be slaughtered all over the city. Do you think this king's words are farting? Why did this king let go of the untouchables in the city?"

Yu Yinglong also sneered: "Your army is really not as good as Meng Yuan. Meng Yuan conquered Song Dynasty and knew how to reduce massacres to break down resistance. Your army only knows massacres, and they can't defeat even Runing. They also want to use massacres to deter them. We are so stupid!"

Nikan was furious again, and the muscles on Doduo's face twitched a few times, "Couldn't massacring the city deter you? Killing one won't work, just massacre two. If the king doesn't believe you, you won't be afraid!"

"Then your army must have this ability. Have you ever seen the Wei army's generals be afraid? You will only arouse hatred and meet one after another Runing!" Yu Yinglong said very politely.

Duoduo actually discovered this problem. In southern Henan, the Qing army slaughtered many fortresses, but instead of reducing resistance, it aroused fierce resistance.

These days, Duoduo also thought about the reason. The Jiangbei side looked down on the wind, but the Henan South was struggling. The main reason was that Gao Manzi was indeed powerful.

For a city, when the Qing soldiers arrived, the people in the city would first make a judgment, thinking that they could not be the opponent of the Qing army, the city would definitely not be able to defend, and most of them would surrender because they were afraid of massacring the city.

But if the people in the city think highly of themselves and judge that they can defend for a while, if they choose to defend the city, then they will be very tenacious because of the threat of massacre of the city.

In this way, the casualties of the Qing army were too heavy.

Gao Yihuan is a tough idea, the men he guards are more daring to fight, and rarely run away.

In this way, the threat released by Duoduo will not only fail to reduce resistance, but will double the casualties of the Qing army.

Duoduo stared at Yu Yinglong, and suddenly smiled, "Prefect Yu is really eloquent! But it's unrealistic to ask the king to take back the order with just a few words!"

Yu Yinglong said: "Your army allows the people to leave the city. Three days later, the defenders open the city and let your army enter."

Duoduo said: "Why did you open the city after three days? This king let people go, but you don't open the city, what should we do?"

Yu Yinglong said: "Because we don't trust your army, three days is just enough time for the people to escape!"

Is the reputation of the Qing army so bad?The muscles on Duoduo's face twitched, "It's fine to let the people go, but I have two conditions! First, you open the outer city first, and then I will allow the people to leave the city!"

After speaking, he paused, stared at Yu Yinglong, and said with a smile: "Secondly, I want Yu Zhifu to be my aide. How about it?"

Yu Yinglong breathed out through his nose, "Okay, no problem!"

Duoduo immediately laughed and said: "Actually, the magistrate Yu misunderstood me in the Qing Dynasty. I have always been a relative of the Manchu and Han families. The massacre of the city is just a last resort!"
