Since the Ming army wanted to dig tunnels and use coffins to blow down the city walls.
What Shang Kexi had to do was naturally to prevent the Ming army from successfully completing the preparations before bombing the city.
In other words, if the Ming army had done all the work, why would they fight?
Just wash your neck and wait for death.
The focus of the competition between the two sides is the tunnel.
The Ming army wanted to successfully dig the tunnel, while the Qing army wanted to do everything possible to prevent the tunnel from being dug.
Shang Kexi knew that this point was a top priority and sent heavy troops to attack Xunqiu.
Seeing the menacing attack of the Tatars, Zeng Ying was a little nervous for a moment.
However, he quickly calmed down and ordered military reinforcements.
The cavalry that had been waiting for orders rushed out and rushed towards the Tatar cavalry.
When the two armies met, they immediately fought together.
The soldiers Shang Kexi sent were his own soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was very fierce.
Zeng Ying sent personal soldiers, whose strength should not be underestimated.
In this case, whoever is more determined will have the upper hand.
It's just that the battle situation is very stalemate.
For a while, the Qing army had the advantage, and for a while, the Ming army had the advantage again.
The commanders of both sides, Shang Kexi and Zeng Ying, both had sad faces.
They cannot afford to lose this battle.
The losing side is bound to be in a passive position.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
While Shang Kexi and Zeng Ying were fighting fiercely outside Hanzhong City, Li Dingguo had already led his troops through the trail to reach behind Hanzhong City without anyone noticing.
When Wen An issued the order, he ordered Li Dingguo to attack by surprise.
Therefore, he does not need to consider the frontal battlefield.
Even if Zeng Ying is defeated, there is no need for him to rescue him.
He only needs to lead his troops to appear behind Hanzhong.
The timing of launching such a surprise attack is the most critical.
Zeng Ying should have already started a war with the Tatars.
This is the most suitable time for Li Dingguo to perform.
If you miss it, all your efforts will be wasted.
"Inform me to the general and prepare to dig a tunnel."
According to Li Dingguo's plan, the army he led would sneak into Hanzhong City by digging tunnels.
But unlike the tunnels used when coffins bombed the city, the tunnels Li Dingguo needed were similar to traditional tunnels and needed to be wide enough to transport soldiers.
This kind of tunnel will take longer to dig.
Fortunately, Li Dingguo brought enough soldiers, so digging together can be much faster.
Now Li Dingguo only hopes that Zeng Ying can hold the Tatars back from the front.
All he needs now is time.
As long as he has time, he can transport all the soldiers he brought into Hanzhong City.
By then it will be easy to capture Hanzhong.
Azig received a gratifying letter asking for help.
At first he was very disapproving.
I thought this must be an exaggeration.
In this winter, the Ming army attacked Hanzhong only after their head was caught in the door, right?
Who doesn’t know that Hanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, let alone in winter.
Unless the commander of the Ming army is a three-year-old child.
But then he looked down at Azig and couldn't sit still.

Shang Kexi sincerely stated that all the granaries in Hanzhong City had been burned.
Now the Qing army in Hanzhong has reached the point of running out of food.
Azig couldn't help but became furious.
That's good for you.
I trust you and give you the important task of guarding Hanzhong.
It's a good thing for you, not only did you not guard Hanzhong for me, but you let the Ming army burn the granary.
There is no doubt that this is because Shang Kexi has neglected his duties.
Otherwise, how could the granary be burned down if it was built in Hanzhong City?
Could it be that the Ming army could not fly?
“This Shang Kexi is really a waste” Azige was so angry that he wished he could whip Shang Kexi right now.
But he also knew that now was not the time to be impulsive.
After calming down, he began to think about how to deal with it.
The biggest problem for the Qing army in Hanzhong now is that it is on the verge of running out of food, so transporting food and grass to it is the first issue that Azig needs to consider.
However, the choice of escort to transport grain and grass is a big problem.
Although there are many strong generals around Azig, most of them are Manchurians.
These Manchurian generals were arrogant and arrogant, and they would definitely not be willing to do such an errand.
In the past, Azige could have pinned his hopes on Wu Sangui.
But now Wu Sangui and Azige have broken up on bad terms, and now living a happy life in Henan, there is no way they can count on it.
After thinking about it, Azig found that he actually had no one available.
This is very embarrassing.
But now the situation is so urgent that we have to send people to deliver food no matter what.
Azige bit the bullet and decided on someone.
This person is Azig's confidant, Batulushuotu with a white flag in Manchuria.
Shuo'etu was just an ordinary flag soldier at first.
Later, he was valued by Azig and promoted along the way.
Now he is Jia La Zhangjing.
It is Azig's grace that Shuo'etu is today, so Azig believes that he will not let him down.
Sure enough, when Azig gave Shuo'etu the task of escorting grain and grass to reinforce Hanzhong, he happily accepted the order.
This made Azig feel a little relieved.
I don't know since when he has regarded Shaanxi as his forbidden territory.
If Dorgon was the regent of the Qing Dynasty, then Azig was the emperor of Shaanxi.
Nowadays, Azig is the only one in Shaanxi, and he certainly does not want this situation to change.
"Be extremely careful when going to Hanzhong.
The southerners are cunning, so don't fall for their tricks."
Azig stepped forward and patted Shuoertu on the shoulder and said sincerely.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not let you down."
Shuo'etu knelt down and said respectfully.
"Well, back off."
Azig waved his hand and said tiredly.
In fact, there is not much food stored in Xi'an city, so Azige had only asked Shang Kexi to find a solution on his own before.
But now that Hanzhong has reached the point where it has to be saved, it can't take care of so much.
I don’t know when the food problem began to become a major problem that troubled the Qing army.
After Wu Sangui was defeated in Huguang, this problem was infinitely magnified.
It’s really heartbreaking to see Huguang, the world’s granary, but not be able to get it.
Today's Guanzhong is no longer the Guanzhong of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

It is not only narrow and densely populated, but also has a shortage of water resources.
The land of Guanzhong cannot be self-sufficient and must rely on food transportation from other places.
It's a pity that Dorgon can't protect himself now, and he's thinking about North Korea.
I'm afraid he won't be able to help Azig too much.
Azig couldn't help but shook his head.
When I was still in Shengjing, I didn't have so many worries.
Although it was bitterly cold over there in Liaodong, they could still afford to support the children of the Eight Banners.
But since entering the pass, the territory has become larger and larger, and the size of the Qing army has also expanded rapidly.
There is not enough food to eat.
First came Shanxi merchants, then Zheng Zhilong.
The Qing government raised food through various channels, but in the end it was found that there was still not enough food.
For a moment, Azig even wanted to go back outside the customs.
But the thought only appeared for a moment and then disappeared.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
It's not easy to go back
