Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 182 Huaiqing is in a hurry and sends envoy Duoduo
Seeing that Hauge was so anxious, Duotuan quickly raised his head and said to him, "Your Majesty, all the roads and canals outside the city have been cut off by the Han people. Huaiqing is now an isolated city and has no way to contact the outside world. Even if you want to go to the back mountains, It’s impossible to chop some firewood.”

Zhu Cihong has a huge advantage in numbers, so naturally he can't waste it. The total number of his soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and militiamen is as many as [-] to [-], and there are still a large number of water boats and trackers on the Yellow River, and there are constantly organized landlord regiments in the rear. Armed, brave.

With so many people, even if they lined up in several rows, they could surround Huaiqing City tightly, not to mention that the siege did not mean that the city would be watertight.

As long as roads and canals are cut off, the city loses contact with the outside world, and supplies from outside the city cannot be transported into the city, the goal of the siege has been achieved.

Of course, if you are afraid that the people in the city will escape, you can also build a rammed earth wall that completely encloses the city. In this way, you can seal the city so that no one can slip out of the besieged city.

However, if a large-scale breakout was organized in the city, it would still be possible for some people to escape.

"How could they have so many manpower, Huaiqing is a prefecture." Hauge couldn't believe Dotuan's words.

As a prefectural city, Huaiqing is naturally relatively large in scale, and it is still in the traditional farming area of ​​China. With rolling hills, the siege is even more difficult.

"The last general doesn't know how there are so many more Han people out of thin air. I think they are more numerous now than when they were fighting in Shibali Village today." Dotuan also couldn't figure it out.

He is just a Tatar who has only known how to kill people since he was a child. He has a simple mind and well-developed limbs. How can he understand the vastness of the Han land and the huge number of Han people.

The Jurchens are divided into many parts. The entire Jianzhou Jurchen clan to which Qingqing belongs adds up to hundreds of thousands, which is not even as large as the population of a single prefecture in Han. Naturally, Dotuan did not expect that so many people could be mobilized for war. Huaiqing, which is obviously located in the northern Henan Plain, is not a major battlefield.

"These damned Han people are like weeds. Once they are burned, they will grow again. Sooner or later, I will wipe out these disgusting inferior ethnic groups." Hauge swore viciously.

He was so ashamed that he was defeated by Zhu Cixiang many times, so he also started to hate the Han people. Although he had hated the Han people before, it had never been as strong as now.

"My lord, for the sake of the present, let's think of a countermeasure. Tens of thousands of us can't just stay here in Huaiqing City and wait to die. The food in the city is limited, and there will always be a day when we run out of food." Duotu Ann knew that it was not the time to lose her temper, so she persuaded Hauge.

Hauge was more willing to listen to the advice of his right-hand man. When Dotuan said this, Hauge calmed down and began to think about Zhu Cihong's strategy for siege.

"You said, the old man Duduo should have fought well in Tongguan. After so many days, the war in Tongguan should be over. It's better to ask him for help."

Although he said so, Hauge's tone was very awkward, without any feeling of begging for help.

It's all because his relationship with Duduo is not very good. Duduo is Prince He Shuoyu. Although he is the same prince as Hauge, his seniority is a head older than Hauge, and he is Hauge's uncle.

That's fine, but after the death of Huang Taiji the year before last, Dorgon competed with him for the throne. Duoduo clearly supported Dorgon, and opposed Hauge and several princes who supported Hauge as emperor.

Although no one benefited in the end, and instead let a young boy named Fulin become the emperor, it is obvious that both sides blamed each other for their enmity.

Hauge felt that he could not become the emperor because of Dorgon and others. If these people had not supported themselves and respected themselves and refused to let him become the emperor, how could he be where he is today.

"We've been fighting for dozens of days, and it's time to see whether we win or lose. I think that even if Doduo's side doesn't end, it should be almost done." Dotuan replied very respectfully.

"Then ask him and Dorgon for help." After saying this, Hauge lay down on the seat weakly as if all the strength in his body had been taken away.

"But the city is under siege right now, I'm afraid the messenger won't be able to get out of the city." Dotuan didn't want to extinguish Hauge's hope, but these words were the facts in front of him.

Tens of thousands of people besieged the city, how could you come up with it as soon as you think of it, it is really impossible to think that everyone is blind.

"I know."

"Then recruit dead men and let them rush out of the siege and deliver letters to Tongguan and the capital." Hauge's tone was unquestionable, and when Dotuan heard what Hauge said, he knew he had to carry it out.

"Yes." After finishing speaking, Dotuan stood up, swung a thousand and left.

When they came to the barracks, Duo Tuan ordered people to summon all the Eight Banners Xiaoqi. With the sound of gongs and drums, countless Eight Banners Xiaoqi who had just taken off their armor rushed to the school grounds.

"Brothers, Huaiqing has been besieged at present, and there are people from the emperor of the Ming Dynasty everywhere outside the city, but don't panic, the prince will send two teams to the capital and Tongguan respectively to find the regent prince and prince Yu."

"As long as you send the letter to the two princes, you will be able to invite reinforcements. At that time, the siege will be broken by itself. If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty does not know good and bad, hey, let him try it on our Eight Banners cavalry. It is his neck." It is as hard as our steel knives."

Breaking through the siege is a matter of a narrow escape, and Dotuan can only find a soldier who is not afraid of death to complete this task if he publicizes the matter.

"Why did it get surrounded so quickly?"

"When did the Han people move so fast?"

"Oh, God bless us, let us not be defeated by the Han people."

Countless people stood in the school grounds and chattered.

When most people heard Dotuan's words, the first thing that came to mind was not to be a dead man to deliver a letter, but to be shocked by Zhu Cihong's actions and express uneasiness about their future.

Seeing the chattering crowd in front of him, Dotuan ordered people to beat the gongs and drums to calm down the scene, "Don't make any noise, you are all warriors of the Qing Dynasty, what do you look like chattering here?"

"If you are a man, come to me, take the letter from the prince to Tongguan, and go to the capital, so that the brothers can survive."

After Dotuan said this, some people really raised their hands silently and came to his side. The current Mite Qing has not fallen, as long as he is willing to work hard, everyone has the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune, although most of the Eight Banners Bing has been corrupted by a rich life, but there are still some Eight Banners who are willing to work hard.
