Emperor Ming Dynasty

Since Shunzhi came to power last year, he has imprisoned Azig and Haoge successively, and took control of the court in one fell swoop.

However, at the time of life and death of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners naturally focused on unity, and the historical cleanup was gone. Even Azig and Haoge were released successively.

In the face of the dispatch of the Ming army, the Manchu Qing court focused on defense, stretched the front line, and dragged the Ming army to death.

But Chen Yongfu is too doggy, and he implements a strategy of step by step.

Literally step by step.

He led the army in the rear, allocated money, food and materials, and then took two 30,000 people as the vanguard to continue to open the way forward.

Every thirty or forty miles, ten thousand people will be built as a team to build a wooden camp with antlers and trenches ready to rest in the rear.

30,000 people, three teams, separated by less than ten miles, covering each other, can build a camp in five or six days.

After the three camps are built, they will serve as horns for each other, and the rear army will continue to deliver supplies and rotate the other three teams to open up.

In this way, even if the journey to the north is difficult and difficult, as long as the soldiers can eat and drink hot water, the morale will not be too much.

After calculation, it is considered the time to build the camp. On average, they can travel seven or eight miles a day, take Changtu in ten days, and reach the outside of Jilin City in about three months.

Even if it is the slowest one, it will definitely arrive in Jilin City before the winter snow. If they speed up from time to time, it will be more likely.

In this way, the Ming army is purely to suppress people with power, and will never fight easily.

This feeling of slowly tightening the rope and suffocating made Man Qing extremely uncomfortable.

Shou?Definitely won't be able to hold on.

Then there is only a fight.

And it is still based on preserving strength.

Fifty thousand cavalry were dispatched.

So don't look at Azig and Oboi's aggressiveness, but when the Ming army is fully prepared, they are immediately discouraged.

Over the years, the Manchu Qing had more defeats than victories, and their morale had long been lost. They were timid before fighting. At least the Ming army was a tough one and refused to change.

"The spies are really right, the three camps are horns of each other."

Looking at the map and the news from the pioneers, Jierhalang instantly felt a headache.

Even if it was head-to-head, the Qing army could not bear such a big loss, let alone attacking the city and pulling out the stronghold.

Wuzhenchaoha (artillery) who once showed great prowess in the Battle of Jinzhou, with years of losses and the scarcity of gunpowder, has declined and has become the last guarantee, staying in Jilin City.

But now that the spring rains are continuous, it is difficult for humans and animals, let alone artillery.

So in the face of these wooden camps, which were soaked by rain, they were damp and heavy, and the Qing army had nothing to do but a headache.

Chen Yongfu guessed right, years of war, and the fleeing in Shenyang, although the Eight Banners organization is still there, its strength has been greatly reduced.

The simplest item, armor penetration rate, was already less than [-]%.

Although they are much stronger than the Mongols, compared with the Beijing camp which has generally reached [-]%, it is not enough.

Not enough arrows, not enough armor, not enough gunpowder, not enough doctors, not enough food, not enough cloth...

The more you stay in Jilin, the more you will feel the pain of the trade blockade, the nobles of the Eight Banners suddenly found out.Without the Eight Great Imperial Merchants, life would not be a human life at all.

"The Ming army is very cautious." Luc Dehun suddenly opened the door curtain, bringing in a gust of cold wind.

There was wet mud on his leather boots, almost every step was made, Jierharang felt distressed seeing it, and just as he was about to speak, Azig and others all came over.

Now, Ji Erhalang could only give up, he looked at the few people: "The Ming army is just like what we think, it is to trap us alive."

"If they don't act, they will only be a hundred miles away from Changtu, and they may not be able to keep it..."

"It's impossible to keep it at all." Azig opened his mouth, sat down directly, and sighed:
"It used to be [-], but it could last for two or three months. Now there are [-] to [-], and there are many cavalry. People eat horse chews, and they can't support it for half a month."

"My lord, now we have enough soldiers and horses, we can send troops to harass him to build a camp and delay his time."

Aobai couldn't help but speak out, he was born as the Two Yellow Banners, and he was Shunzhi's upright eyeliner in the army.

He naturally knew very deeply about this battle.

"Too."

Jierhalang glanced at Oboi meaningfully, it seemed that the little emperor really dared to speak.

"We have no choice but to harass other soldiers to cut down trees as much as possible. If there is no other way, it will be set on fire. Don't let them succeed."

Soon, the Qing army's actions will bear fruit.

The Ming army, which was always in a tense state, slowed down by double.

Seeing this, Chen Yongfu saw the tricks, and directly gave up the strategy of step by step, and directly led the main force to confront each other under the city.

Now, it was the turn of the Qing army to sit on the wax.

Imposing like a rainbow, the Ming army, which took turns to rest, even launched ten red cannons, aiming directly at the city wall.

Obviously, the Ming army did not want to directly attack the city during the light rain season in early spring, and damage morale for nothing.

We must know that the next trip to Jilin will be difficult. I don’t know how many tortures we have gone through, so let’s save some morale on the road.

Changtu City is originally an earthen city, even after being reinforced in every way and covered with bricks, it can't compare with those powerful cities.

After only holding on for three days, a section of the city wall collapsed and had to be lost.

The Qing army fled in embarrassment in a strange manner.

"Wait, it doesn't feel right!"

Standing on the city wall, Chen Yongfu looked at the Qing army galloping away in the distance, feeling something was wrong.

"How long has it been since Jilin sent a letter?"

Suddenly, he remembered something and asked directly.

"It's been about ten days. It's hard to believe that the city was sealed off when the army went out, and Changtu blocked the route."

Wu Sangui couldn't help but said.

The group of collaborators also included his uncle Zu Dashou's family.

"Not good—" Chen Yongfu's face was extremely ugly, he gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Jianu is going to escape!"

Wu Sangui's complexion changed drastically.

In the vast north, with endless forests and vast grasslands, no one knows where the border is.

In their eyes, Jilin is already far enough away. If they go further north, they will really be unable to catch up.

Wouldn't the costly Northern Expedition return in vain this time?

He looked at Chen Yongfu, asking questions all over his face.

Chen Yongfu's face was livid: "Even if they leave, those wild Jurchens, Sauron and other ministries will never escape. It is imperative to rebuild the Nurgan capital—"

……

At this time, in Jilin City, the last huge team was slowly heading west.

Shunzhi lifted the curtain of the car, looking at the brand new Jilin City, feeling extremely reluctant.

Accompanied on the road were the last batch of Han army home scrolls and a large amount of supplies, reaching more than [-] people and stretching for dozens of miles.

"Sir, is what you said about Barguzin really appropriate?"

On the opposite side of him, I was sitting Ning Wan, who was on an envoy last year.
