Chapter 98 Brown Candy

"Report, master!" Tanma approached, dismounted from his horse, and reported, "The Ming army suddenly stepped up their offensive, and Tanma alone can't drive them away. Master, please make a decision!"

Hearing this, Dorgon frowned and said: "If something goes wrong, there must be something strange."

Thinking of this, he ordered to mobilize a thousand horses from the Mongolian Eight Banners for reinforcements, and asked to find out the movements of the Ming army.

After the order was given, he lost interest in reprimanding Hauge, and immediately turned back to the tent of the Chinese army.

On the top of the city of Jinzhou, Chen Hongxu, the prefect who had been paying attention to the movements of the Manchu and Qing troops, was relieved to see that the Manchu and Qing troops really had to return to camp.

He immediately began to patrol the city, praising the bravery of the defenders, and told them that if they persevere, imperial reinforcements will come.Then, he coordinated the gentry in the city to take out silver taels to reward the people who bravely killed the enemy in the defense of the city.

The smiling squire followed behind him, listening to his orders.One of them, looking at the endless Manchu camp outside the city, said to Chen Hongxu: "Lord Zhizhou, how long do we have to hold on until reinforcements from the imperial court arrive?"

Hearing this, the other squires also looked at him, hoping to get an answer from him.

When Chen Hongxu heard this, he said with a smile: "It shouldn't be long. I predict that within a few days, there should be King Qin's army arriving. The longer the Manchu and Qing troops stay here, the more Qin King's army will gather. Many. Don’t worry, as long as we work together and have reinforcements from outside, the Manchu and Qing troops who came from afar will definitely not be able to conquer Jinzhou.”

Although he said so, in his heart, he actually didn't believe it.In the past, the capitals and assistants fled in anticipation, but now who else can fight desperately with the Manchu army?After all, this is not the capital. Cities like Jinzhou have already been captured by the Manchu Qing army several times, and the imperial army has not seen any reaction.But the morale cannot but be encouraged. Only by constantly giving hope can the defense of the city last.

In the original history, he was so encouraged and persevered that the Manchu army lost patience and finally stopped attacking Jinzhou, thereby saving Jinzhou and being grateful to the people of the city.

Outside the city, Dorgon and others had just sat down to discuss the matter in the military account of the Manchu Qing army, when another mandarin came in and reported that more than 1 Ming troops were approaching Jinzhou. Judging from the banner, it was Lu Xiangsheng Commander, and has many members under the banner of a famous general, divided into horse infantry battalion and other arms.

Upon hearing the news, Yue Tuo who was standing below immediately judged: "Uncle Wang, I am afraid that Lu Xiangsheng only commanded the troops of the various armies, and this is the most capable part of the Ming army. Just relying on Tanma or the Eight Banners of Mongolia , I’m afraid there’s nothing they can do to this Ming army.”

Dorgon nodded when he heard this, frowned slightly, and immediately looked at Hauge and said, "Lead your troops to block them, and don't let their banners be seen by the city of Jinzhou, otherwise it will be bad for the siege!"

If Jinju can be conquered, then Jinju must be conquered after all.Otherwise, if the city cannot be attacked, it will have an impact on the morale of the army.Therefore, Dorgon wanted to work harder to get this order.

Yue Tuo at the side listened, and before Hauge could speak, he interjected first: "Uncle Wang, Lu Xiangsheng is brave and has more than 1 horses, or I'll go and stop them too!"

When Haoge heard this, he immediately yelled: "If you want me to say, our whole army will return to the division, surround the 1 people like Lu Xiangsheng outside the city, and destroy them!"

If it is a field battle, the Qing army is not afraid of any enemy!For this point, several people present are confident.

After hearing Hauge's words, Dorgon thought about it, and felt that he could consider it.Then we started to discuss this situation again.

However, what they didn't expect was that Lu Xiangsheng's sense of smell was quite sharp, and he quickly noticed the intentions of the Manchu army.Before the Manchu and Qing troops encircled them, he led the army back and leaned against Daming City, which made Dorgon and others very helpless.

Don't waste your time, just withdraw your troops and leave.However, Lu Xiangsheng immediately led the army to stick up.Not only that, but Yebushou was also sent to appear outside Jinzhou city roaring under the cover of the army.

It may be an accident that Yebushou appeared outside Jinzhou city once.But when it appeared for the second time and the third time, even those country gentry who didn’t know about soldiers on the top of Jinzhou City happily said to Chen Hongxu: “The nights that appear one after another show that there must be imperial courts near Jinzhou. Our reinforcements have arrived. This time, we will be fine in Jinzhou. Master Zhizhou is wise!"

Chen Hongxu could only smile and say nothing about this.He didn't expect that the imperial officers and soldiers would show up so quickly. It was a bit unexpected!But no matter what, he would not tell the truth, saying that he just said it simply to boost morale.

At this time, he looked very calm, pointing to the Manchu camp outside the city and said: "If I don't expect it, the Manchu army should not be able to stay. As long as we persist for a few more days, Jinzhou City will definitely be defeated." Relief."

"My lord's opinion!" When the squires heard this, they flattered each other happily.

Compared with their excitement, these leaders of the Manchu and Qing Tatars were a little depressed.

They have tried the Ming army's brown sugar-style tactics before.Unexpectedly, only a few days later, they started tasting again.And this time, the Ming army's coach is more experienced, and the troops under his command are all elites. Every time he is stuck with such an opponent, he must always be on guard. If he can't kill them, he will be extremely depressed.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Hauge finally lost his temper in response to this situation, and said loudly: "Did you see that, you didn't kill Lu Xiangsheng before, now it's all right, have you tasted the pain? Damn it, fight, no Come to fight with you; drive, can't drive away; still stare at Du Du from time to time, maybe one day they will suddenly attack, those are servants in the Ming army, but they have fighting power!"

After hearing this, Yue Tuo quickly smoothed things over and said: "There were rumors before that the national reinforcements had gathered around, so for the sake of caution, we had to withdraw our troops and leave Julu."

"Ming reinforcements? Where did the reinforcements come from? Where are the reinforcements?" Hearing this, Hauge immediately asked, "Who said that the reinforcements were gathered? The reinforcements are the same as the previous Ming troops!"

Hearing him questioning himself vaguely, Dorgon immediately remembered the basis for his decision that day, and couldn't help but frowned, and immediately ordered: "Bring over the general banner of Jinyiwei from Ming Dynasty."

Hauge at the side heard it, and said in surprise: "Could it be what the General Banner of Jinyiwei said? Damn it, I delayed killing Lu Xiangsheng, and I will kill him later to vent my anger!"
