At the time of Huang Ting's persuasion, Azig was wearing fine white armor, an old lightning rod on his head, a war knife at his waist, and a bow and arrow hanging from his saddle, and was observing the town of Shibao in the distance.The Ming army that fled into Shibao Town was exhausted, and the Qing army that came after them was also tired.In order to ambush Zhao Ming, Azig didn't close his eyes for a few days and nights, the Qing soldiers waited for the Ming army for a few days, and after last night's battle, and chased dozens of miles, the Ming army in the city was lying on the street after entering the city, and most of the Qing troops outside the city were tired and lay down, and only a few men and horses still maintained a certain spirit.Azig's red eyes, on the surface, he was already very tired, but the joy surrounding Zhao Ming made his whole person extremely excited, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.At this time, Azig observed the town of Shibao with a clairvoyant mirror, the fortress was no more than five or six miles long, less than three zhang high, there was a trench to protect the fort, and although the sparrows were small, they had all kinds of organs.In the early years, before the Qing army entered the customs, the Liukou in the pass, Zhang Xianzhong had captured Fengyang, killed into the two Huai, so that the landlords and gentry of the two Huai, have contributed to build forts for self-protection, and later the Chongzhen Dynasty perished, the Hongguang Dynasty was established, and the four towns were set up in Jiangbei, and the military discipline of the four towns was very poor, so that the climax of building forts and cities rose again in Jiangbei.Shibao Town is the fort wall that was rebuilt and strengthened during that period.However, such a fortress can only defend against small groups of rogue bandits, as well as small groups of plundering troops, and it is obviously wishful thinking to block hundreds of thousands of troops.Azig looked at the fortress in front of him, collected the clairvoyant mirror, and showed a fierce look on his face, "Zhao Zamao, if you run into this dead place by yourself, you can't complain about this king." ”Fan Wencheng on the side still had lingering palpitations about last night's battle, the tenacious combat power of Donghai Town, and the figure of the Ming army who rushed into the Qing army with grenades tied to them, made Fan Wencheng tremble."
Lord Wang, although this city is small, but with Zhao Zamao's defense, you can't be careless!"
Fan Wencheng poured a basin of cold water.Azig frowned and said, "Hmph, Governor Fan, you don't have to grow Zhao Zamao's ambition.This time the king drove 130,000 people, this broken city is an iron wall, and this king will also step into it and destroy Zhao Zamao. ”Fan Wencheng said: "Lord Wang, Zhao Zamao is a pseudo-Ming general after all, and now that he is trapped by us, Zhu Yujian and Zhu Yihai on the pseudo-Ming side will definitely reflect it."
At that time, most of them will send troops to rescue, but the prince should not be careless!
”Azig glanced at Fan Wencheng, estimated that he was frightened by Zhao Zamao, and sneered: "Governor Fan, you don't have to worry, the 100,000 troops of the Jiangnan battalion have been withdrawn to the north bank to take over the defense of this king around Yangzhou and guard against the Ming army in Jiangnan."
In addition, this king has ordered Wang Shuosai of Chengze County to lead 50,000 people to recapture Taizhou to prevent Zhao Zama's men and horses from coming to the rescue.Now that Zhao Zamao is trapped in a lonely city, he will either be killed or surrender on his own initiative, and he has no third way to go. ”Seeing that Azig was full of confidence, Fan Wencheng could only stop talking, but changed his words and asked: "The prince told Huang Ting that if Zhao Zamao surrendered, the Qing Dynasty would crown him king, but it was true. ”In the Manchu court, there are a lot of princes of the Manchu and Mongolian tribes, but the Han people are very rare, so far there are only four people: Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming.Not long ago, Kong Youde was defeated and burned, his whole family was killed, only his only daughter remained, and it is said that he also became a camp prostitute in the puppet Ming army.Tens of millions of Han people under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, just such three Han princes, it shows that it is not easy for the Han people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty to obtain the identity of this prince.Azig laughed and said: "Zhao Zamao has been against the Qing Dynasty for nearly ten years, killing countless Eight Banner warriors, how can he surrender, and even if he really surrenders, the Eight Banners soldiers will not tolerate him, and the court will not dare to keep him."
Therefore, if Zhao Zamao surrenders, this king will definitely let him die!
”Fan Wencheng also means this, Zhao Zamao's reputation is too great, he responds to every call, and he is very powerful, in case he is like that Zhang Xianzhong, he surrenders and rebels, but he doesn't want the old life of the Qing Dynasty.Fan Wencheng hurriedly smiled: "The prince is wise, a person like Zhao Zamao must not stay, and must be killed immediately." ”After speaking, Fan Wencheng looked at Azig and said, "Then what does the prince mean by letting Huang Ting recruit Zhao Zamao?"
”Azig said with a serious face: "It's just to use his mouth to shake the will of Zhao Zamao and the defenders in the city!"
”Last night's battle frightened Fan Wencheng and shocked Azig, the Qing army killed more than 20,000 Ming troops, and their own losses were as high as 30,000, which was simply shocking.At present, there are nearly 10,000 Ming troops in Shibao Town, and Azig hopes to use the mouth of Huang Ting to shake the will of the defenders, so as to reduce the casualties of the Qing army attacking the city.After all, the field was attacked, and the Qing army was far more than the Ming army, Zhao Zamao's people still fought a one-to-one battle loss, and now 10,000 remnants of Donghai Town, according to the city, the Qing army wants to take it, I am afraid to pay a very heavy price.When Fan Wencheng heard this, he immediately understood, and praised: "The prince is wise!
”At this moment, several gunshots rang out from the fortress, and Huang Ting fled in a hurry, and soon came to the front of Azig's Daxu."
Lord Wang, Zhao Ming is unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and is determined to resist stubbornly!"
Huang Ting knelt on the ground to report.Azig and Fan Wencheng glanced at each other, but in fact, there was no need for Huang Ting to report, the gunfire at the head of the city had already responded to Azig.Azig was mentally prepared for Zhao Ming's refusal, he glanced at Huang Ting, and said politely: "General Huang has worked hard, let's go down and rest." ”The strength of Donghai Town shocked Azig and the generals of the Qing army, and Azig did not underestimate the Huang Ting, who was besieged and surrendered.As the commander of the first battalion of Donghai Town, Huang Ting is already a middle-level general, and he knows many secrets of Donghai Town, as well as the secrets of Donghai Town's strong combat power, Azig is ready to make good use of this person, so he is very polite to him.Huang Ting hurriedly saluted, and was taken down by the Qing army, and as soon as he left, Azig's expression immediately became serious, and he said to many generals around him: "Zhao Zamao has decided to resist stubbornly, this king waits for a quarter of an hour, and Zhao Zamao's defense in the fortress will be stronger."
Command the army, seize the time to rest, and then prepare to attack the city, this king must quickly take Shibao Town, capture Zhao Zamao alive!
”"Wow!"
The generals of the Qing army saluted excitedly.At the head of the city, Zhao Ming saw Huang Ting running away, his hands propped up on the battlements, his head down, and his eyes red.Huang Ting's words made Zhao Ming extremely indignant in his heart, he was bent on annihilating the main force of the Qing army, but Zhu Yihai and Zhu Yujian went to fight for Nanjing, making him face hundreds of thousands of Qing troops alone, causing tens of thousands of brothers to die tragically, which made him angry.()
