Under the city of Wuchang, for more than ten years, the Ming army has never been so strong.The Ming army from Huguang, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Fujian and other places, as many as more than 250,000 people, falsely claimed to have an army of 700,000, and besieged the city of Wuchang.Shang Kexi's army is in the north of Wuchang City, near Macheng at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain, but he does not dare to get close to Wuchang, so he can only go deep and high, and watch from the wall.Kong Youde and Shang Kexi can be said to have a good friendship, they are both acquaintances in Dongjiang Town, and when the Longwu Imperial Court raised a large army and attacked Wuchang, the two had a discussion, Kong Youde dragged the Ming army in the city, and Shang Kexi guarded the grain road outside the city and supported at any time.Now Kong Youde is in difficulty, and it is reasonable and reasonable, Shang Kexi can't sit idly by, and the Ming army that has no choice but to besiege Wuchang is so strong that Shang Kexi doesn't dare to send troops to rescue.In the past few months, Kong Youde sent people to break through the siege several times, came to ask for help, and begged Shang Kexi to attack the Ming army and relieve the pressure in Wuchang City, but Shang Kexi was unmoved.It's not that Shang Ke is happy to see death and can't save it, but he can't, more than 200,000 Ming troops gathered in Wuchang, how many soldiers and horses he sent, there is no return, and the end can only be that not only can not share the pressure for Wuchang, but lose his own soldiers and horses.In Macheng County, in the big tent of Shang Kexi's Chinese army, Sun Long, the general of the Han Army's Red Banner who was covered in blood and torn armor, knelt down in front of Shang Kexi, who was wearing blue armor, kept kowtowing, and wept bitterly, "Lord, the slaves and other hundred people broke through, and there was only one slave left, and they arrived at the prince's camp."
Please also ask the prince to look at the same Han flag and the friendship with the prince of my family, save Wuchang!
Lord Wang, save Wuchang!
”Sun Long slammed his head on the ground, his face covered with blood, which made Shang Kexi and the generals of the Han army with blue flags like a needle carpet.Zhenghongqi was surrounded in the city, running out of ammunition and food, and it was almost to the point of killing people and eating, but the blue flag was watching the play on the side, and everyone felt ashamed on their faces.Kong Youde sent people to break through the siege several times for help, and each time he sent more than 100 elite soldiers, he was able to break out of the encirclement, and the people who came to the camp were only a few people, and almost all of them were seriously injured, pouring out the crisis in Wuchang City.After all, they are all Han military flags, and they have a deep friendship, Kong Youde asked for help several times, but Shang Kexi didn't give a reaction, he really didn't want to go, and it was not good to refuse the generals who cried and kowtowed in front of him.In the big tent, Sun Long kowtowed, and kept asking Shang Kexi to send troops, and Shang Zhixin next to him saw that Shang Kexi was embarrassed, so he went to pull Sun Long, but Sun Long knelt on the ground, crying bitterly, "Doesn't the prince really save King Gongshun and tens of thousands of brothers in Wuchang City?"
”Shang Kexi, who was sitting in the handsome position, his cheeks were agitated, and he suddenly stood up in the middle of the ring, walked in front of Sun Long, actually knelt down, and said sadly: "General Sun, this king really can't help!"
”Sun Long saw that Shang Kexi actually knelt down for him, knowing that he didn't want to send troops, so he could only keep kowtowing, "Save Wuchang, save Wuchang~" Shang Kexi said helplessly: "If you force this king so much, you are forcing tens of thousands of my brothers to die!"
Now, the court is turbulent, the pseudo-Ming army is flourishing, with the current military strength of this king, if you go to attack the Ming army, and now go to Wuchang to relieve the siege, I am afraid that not only can not solve the siege of Wuchang, but also the whole army will be destroyed, just like feeding the tiger with fresh meat, there is no return!
This king might as well preserve his strength, wait for the court reinforcements to arrive, and then avenge the king and the soldiers in the city!
”When Sun Long heard this, his heart suddenly felt like ashes, Shang Kexi had already regarded Kong Youde and the Qing army in Wuchang City as dead people.For a while, Sun Long was extremely angry, but what Shang Kexi said actually made sense.Wuchang was besieged, Shang Kexi was also very anxious, he did not move, it was not that he did not think of a way, in fact, he had sent a fast horse to Beijing to ask for reinforcements, urging Henan, Shandong, and Lianghuai Qing troops to come to aid as soon as possible, and wait for the peripheral reinforcements to have a hundred thousand, and then relieve the siege for Wuchang.Sun Long saw that Shang Kexi knelt down for him, and knew that it was no longer possible to let Shang Kexi send troops, but he couldn't just go back to Wuchang, so he said sadly: "If the prince doesn't send troops, at least give thousands of soldiers and horses to the minions, and let the brothers in the city know that the court has not given up on them!"
”Shang Kexi stood up and looked at Sun Long, who was bleeding from his head, they were all old brothers for many years, and they really couldn't say anything if they didn't send a soldier."
This king will give you 3,000 elite soldiers, if you can break through the block, this king will definitely send someone to kill you later!"
Shang Kexi sighed.Sun Long knew that Shang Kexi had already given in, and no matter how much he pleaded, there would be no more soldiers and horses, so he stood up, saluted on one knee, and regardless of the injuries on his body, he could lead three thousand Qing soldiers and march south.On Wuchang City, Kong Youde was full of indignation and had already decided to break off friendship with Shang Kexi, a treacherous dog thief.Zhenghongqi was besieged in the city for several months, and it had reached the point of cannibalism, but Shang Kexi's tens of thousands of troops were stationed dozens of miles north of Wuchang, watching from the wall, which made Kong Youde extremely indignant.At this time, Kong Youde stood at the head of the city, looking out of the city, the Ming army camp under the city spread, dense soldiers shuttled between them, boats on the river shuttled, and the blockade was tight, making it difficult for him to fly."
Hasn't Shang Kexi sent troops to help yet?"
At the head of the city, Kong Youde held the wall with his hands, and his face was gloomy.Sun Yanlin, the general next to him, said a little desperately: "Lord Wang, King Huaishun wants to rescue us, and he has already come."
Now three teams of men and horses are sent to break through and ask for help, and King Huaishun has no news, I am afraid that he is afraid of the Ming army and has given up on us. ”The muscles at the corners of Kong Youde's mouth twitched, and he slapped his palm on the city wall, and said angrily: "He dares!"
If this king survives this crisis, he will be impeached!
”As he was talking, the soldier in charge of the lookout at the head of the city suddenly exclaimed, "Reinforcements, reinforcements are coming!"
”As soon as the words came out, the Qing army at the head of the city was shocked, Kong Youde and the Qing soldiers rushed to the edge of the city wall, looked across the river, and saw thousands of Qing troops, rolling up a yellow dust, and killing into the tens of thousands of Ming troops who were waiting for them.Kong Youde didn't have time to be surprised, the Qing army flowed into the sea like a stream, 3,000 men and horses in the vast sea of the Ming army, not even a big bubble bubbles, less than half an hour, was killed by the Ming army, and the Qing general Sun Long, who led the army, was also hacked to death in the battle.Three thousand men and horses were killed by the Ming army, and Shang Kexi, who followed over, let out a long sigh, pulled out the horse and returned to the camp, completely desperating the idea of rescuing Wuchang, and could only look at Wuchang City with his eyes in the future, watching the Ming army besiege day and night.At the head of the city, Kong Youde and others also saw this scene, standing on the city wall full of soldiers, they were silent for a while, and their hearts were like ashes.The besieging Ming army soon piled up the corpses of 3,000 Qing troops into a mountain, showing off their martial arts and counting their military exploits.Kong Youde stood at the head of the city, looking at the corpses piled up on the hills, as well as the head of Sun Long who was hoisted, he was speechless for a long time, and finally gave up, and no longer sent people out of the city to urge Shang Kexi to send troops.()
