Chapter 986

From the beginning of the Wei army's attack on Runan, the strategic goals of both Ming and Wei were revealed.

The Wei army used the Huguang battlefield to attract the main force of the Ming army and looked for an opportunity to break through from Huainan. The Ming army did the opposite, intending to use the Jiang defense to block the Wei army's attack, and then joined forces with Sun Kewang to defeat the Huguang Wei army.

At this time, in terms of troop deployment, the Wei army invested a total of 15 elite soldiers on the Huainan battlefield, and most of them were elite soldiers who fought against the Qing army and Mongolia all the year round. , there are only one hundred thousand troops defending.

In Huguang, the Wei army has 20 troops. It seems that there are more troops than those in Lianghuai, but they are mainly C-type and D-type troops. There are only a small number of B-type battalions.

Nanming's army in Huguang has reached 23, including 15 in Wuchang and 15 in Hunan. In addition, Sun Kewang's [-] Western Army has also entered Hunan.

The Zhu-Sun coalition army in Huguang has a strength of 38. It is really full of soldiers, and its momentum is overwhelming.

In addition, there are two battlefields in Bashu and outside the Guan. On the Bashu battlefield, Sun Kewang sent [-] troops, led by general Liu Zongmin, and together with the southern Sichuan chieftain, intending to attack Chengdu.

On the battlefield outside the pass, Li Dingguo and Wu Sangui led [-] Wei troops, and they faced [-] Hao soldiers.

At this time, Gao Yihuan was standing on the top floor of the Tiange, looking down at the city of Chang'an, which was distributed like a chessboard. Behind him was a huge sand table, on which the mountains, rivers, and military camps of the city could be seen at a glance, filled with small flags representing various forces.

Now the three subjects that have caused great controversy in Chang'an City have come to an end. Many scholars have been disqualified from the literary examination because they took the lead in the troubles, and they have obtained the honor of Jinshi. However, Gao Yihuan opened the Internet and allowed them to participate in the military, Examinations for engineering and engineering.

This caused the troubled scholars to divide, and they would be punished if they continued to resist. If they did not resist, there were still two ways to become an official, and many candidates who failed the civil examination also wanted to try the other two ways. If it is not of one mind, the protest will end without a problem.

At this time, after the imperial examination, Gao Yihuan's attention returned to the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the importance of the battles in Bashu and Guanwai is far less than that in Huguang and Huainan." Chen Mingxia stood by the sand table and saluted Gao Yihuan's back.

Gao Yihuan turned around and asked, "How is the situation in Huguang?"

Chen Mingxia said: "The battle situation in northern Hunan is not very optimistic. The Western Army has already entered northern Hunan, and Wuling City may fall."

In order to introduce the Ming army to Huguang, the Ming army had to be misled into thinking that they could win in Huguang. Therefore, Gao Yihuan deliberately gathered his troops in Hanyang to give the Ming army a loophole, and made Zhu Cihong think that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it.

After realizing that Zhu Cihong was going to counterattack in central Hunan, the Wei army immediately cooperated and continued to show weakness, making Zhu Cihong think that only a little more troops were needed to defeat the Wei army and let the Ming army increase its troops a little bit. million increased to 15.

If the situation continues to develop like this, Wei Jun will undoubtedly realize his strategic intention, but he did not expect Sun Kewang to send troops to Huguang.

The situation at this time caused Gao Yihuan to pace back and forth. He originally wanted to show weakness in Hunan and lure the Ming army to attack, but he did not expect that not only the Ming army but also Sun Kewang were attracted.

In this way, the strength of the Ming and Western coalition forces surpassed that of the Huguang Wei army, and Huguang became his loophole instead.

Gao Yihuan walked back and forth for a few steps, finally stopped in front of the sand table, and asked anxiously, "Has Runan been captured?"

Chen Mingxia said worriedly: "Dudu Huang sent a military report that the defenders in Runan are very tenacious. The army attacked several times, but they were all repelled by the defenders."

"How did Huang Bingzhong and Hu Dawei fight!" Gao Yihuan became a little annoyed, "6 troops, five troops are against the enemy, and they haven't been defeated yet!"

"Your Majesty, calm down. His Majesty personally presided over the renovation of the city defense of Runan, and the defender Chen Mingyu was good at defending, so it was difficult to attack the city." Chen Mingxia hurriedly said: "I believe that the two governors are also very anxious, and they will definitely do it as soon as possible. Take this city."

Chen Mingyu was one of the three fierce men who stood on the 81st with a group of villagers in Jiangyin under the siege of more than [-] Qing troops.

The key to the Battle of Huainan was swiftness, gathering and annihilating the main force of the Ming army's Jiangfang in Jiangbei, and then taking advantage of the emptiness of the Jiangfang to forcefully cross the Yangtze River to capture Nanjing and rule the world in one battle.

If Runan fights for too long and the Ming army in Jiangbei withdraws to the south of the Yangtze River, it will be too late.

Gao Yihuan was pacing back and forth in front of the sand table, suddenly stopped, and said resolutely, "I'm going to Runan."

……

At the beginning of May, the Wei army's attack once occupied Wengcheng in the west city. Chen Mingyu, in a hurry, personally led the guards to supervise the battle, and joined the battle group with a knife. The siege failed again.

In the Wei army camp, there was a lot of scolding, and after repeated setbacks, the arrogant soldier and the defenders of Runan could only vent their anger by cursing.

The soldiers still had the strength to scold, which showed that the soldiers still maintained a high degree of courage, but the siege for more than a month, killing thousands of soldiers, did not achieve any results. Huang Bingzhong was still ashamed, and he didn't know how to explain to the emperor.

It can't be said that it's not that I, Huang Sanlang, failed, but that His Majesty built Runan too strong back then, and Chen Mingyu that bastard reinforced the city again, and the whole thing was as solid as gold.

On this day, the Wei army retreated again. After the attack suffered setbacks, Huang Bingzhong summoned the generals and joined the army to review and find a new way to break the city.

"This kind of hard attack is definitely not enough. The brothers have suffered too many casualties, and if they can't attack for a long time, it will definitely hurt morale!" Yuan Shizhong said, licking his chapped lips.

"Then how should we fight?" Huang Bingzhong asked.

Yuan Shizhong said: "It's better to concentrate our forces, attack one side, and pile up earth to attack the city!"

Huang Bingzhong frowned slightly. He took a few steps and scanned the crowd, "Get ready with both hands! It's all done for this purpose, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more time. While piling up the soil, dig the tunnel at the same time. The walls are blown."

While talking, Li Yuanyin came in with a tent and said anxiously: "Captain, Your Majesty has arrived in Xiangcheng."

……

Three days later, outside the Wei army camp, Huang Bingzhong led a group of generals out of the camp to meet them. From a distance, he saw Gao Yihuan in golden armor, surrounded by iron guards, coming in mighty form.

Huang Bingzhong, Yuan Shizhong and others immediately led more than a hundred cavalry to gallop like lightning, reined in the horses in the distance, flew down, and saluted: "Your Majesty is welcome!"

Gao Yihuan reined in his horse, glanced at several people, was silent for a while, expressing his dissatisfaction, and said after a while: "Get up!"

Huang Bingzhong and others lowered their heads, not daring to look at Gao Yihuan, but His Majesty actually came in person, which means that they made His Majesty angry.

"Where's Hu Dawei?" Gao Yihuan asked suddenly.

Huang Bingzhong hurriedly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Ma Shiying sent Ming general Fang Guoan to lead troops to reinforce Runan, and Duke Hu led cavalry to stop it."

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, "How is the situation in Runan?"

Huang Bingzhong said with shame: "It is still in the hands of the Ming army."

At that moment, Gao Yihuan raised his whip and refused to enter the camp, "Follow me to meet the guards for a while."

……

At the head of Runan City, Chen Mingyu was patrolling with a saber, commanding soldiers and civilians to clean up the equipment on the city, and move rolling stones, wood and cupping jars.

"General, look!" Zeng Hualong, the general next to him, exclaimed.

Chen Mingyu turned his head to look, and saw a huge guard of honor coming to the foot of Runan City, and stopped three miles away.

At this time, a group of cavalry rushed out from the guard of honor, and they reined in their horses and stationed a hundred paces away. The first cavalry led the cavalry and shouted to the city wall, "Chen Mingyu, His Majesty the Emperor of Wei has something to say, if the general surrenders, You can also be a duke!"

Chen Mingyu heard the cavalry shouting at the top of the city, and snorted coldly, "This general is deeply favored by the emperor, how can he be a thief!"

Gao Yihuan was riding on the horse, and when he heard the reply, his face was gloomy. Huang Bingzhong next to him knew Chen Mingyu's temper, and was afraid that Gao Yihuan would be scolded by Chen Mingyu like a tiger. It's smelly and hard, forget it!"

Gao Yihuan adjusted his mood, pretending to be magnanimous, and said with a faint smile: "Although they are hostile, loyal people, come quickly to be my admiration. Naturally, a little more patience is needed to surrender, and then I will pass on my oral instructions. Nanming is corrupt, and the general is planning for the people. For the sake of the world, we should know the ups and downs and block the general trend, but it will only increase the casualties of the people, it is better to surrender early!"

Soon the cavalry galloped past and shouted again, and there was an immediate reply from the city, "What is the general trend? The country is in danger, and if it sees a strong one, it will surrender. What is the righteousness, what is the strength of the character. In the future, a strong enemy will come to Wei, and the thieves will be counted. Bend your knees and put your hands together? Don’t talk too much, the high-ranking thief, it makes people laugh!"

In an instant, Gao Yihuan's face turned into a pig's liver, and he pulled the rein angrily, and returned to Weiying.
