The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 301 Ding Yi's Ingenious Plan

After two consecutive days of attacking the city without any results, the morale of the officers and soldiers plummeted, and Gao Qiqian no longer insisted on attacking the city.

On the third day, he summoned the generals again to discuss the strategy of breaking the city.

All the generals had their own concerns, and they didn't speak at first, because they were afraid of being named and then attacked the city.

Since ancient times, ants have suffered the most casualties in sieges, and the generals certainly don't want to lose their troops.

Ding Yi looked left and right, stepped forward decisively, and said, from the beginning of the Shahe War, the rebels ran away as soon as they were defeated, and fled in all directions. The deserters invaded all parts of Shandong, and the people were implicated. Forced to divide the troops, in order to prevent such things from happening again, we can learn from Houjin to encircle the Daling River and enclose Dengzhou first, which will also prevent the enemy from attacking us at night in the future.

In this way, after Dengzhou City was broken, the rebels had nowhere to retreat and could only retreat to the sea.

Our navy in the sea can intercept the rebels and wipe them out.

He patted the table in a high-pitched manner, exclaimed his praise, and took the opportunity to praise Ding Yi in front of the generals.

All the generals at the scene looked at Ding Yi with weird expressions, but they didn't expect this man to say such a sinister trick.

In fact, in the original history, without Ding Yi, the Ming army did the same thing, but I don't know who came up with the idea, and Ding Yi said it in advance.

After Ding Yi finished speaking, Wu Xiang looked depressed, hesitated to speak, and finally shook his head, blushing with anger.

It turns out that in the original history, it was Wu Xiang who thought of the Battle of the Daling River, and Houjin dug a pit to encircle his ancestor's birthday, so he came up with this idea.

He was praised by Gao Qiqian because of this proposal, which can be regarded as a great contribution.

After this battle, he immediately returned to the post of chief soldier, and then he gave money and let Wu Sangui recognize his godfather, and his son Wu Sangui also made great contributions and was promoted to general.

But this time with Ding Yi here, he hesitated for a while, and was organizing his words, before he could say anything, Ding Yi had already said it first, and he was so angry that he was half dead.

He blushed and stared at Ding Yi, holding back for a long time, not knowing what to say.

It can't be said that Ding Yi stole his own ideas, right?
Therefore, the Ming army concentrated their manpower and built a [-]-mile-long wall in a few days. It was as high as a city, and its east and west ends reached the sea, enclosing Dengzhou with water.

In the original history, Chen Hongfan and Liu Zeqing led the infantry to guard the west wall, Wu Xiang, Jin Guochen and others led the cavalry to respond; Liu Liangzuo and Deng Qi led the infantry to defend the south wall, Jin Guoqi, Zu Dabi and others led the cavalry to respond; On the east wall, Zu Kuan, Zhang Tao and others led cavalry to respond.

This time almost nothing changed, Ding Yi and Xu Fuzuo's troops continued to guard the central army, protecting Gao Qiqian and Zhu Dadian and others, the generals cursed secretly again, but there was nothing they could do.

Since the rise of troops in Changyi, everyone felt that Ding Yi and Xu's Dongjiang soldiers had hardly fought any important battles. Every time, after the enemy was defeated, they chased and killed them from behind.

But Gao Qiqian obviously took care of Ding Yi, although the generals were not convinced, they could only accept it.

After the siege, the two sides attacked and entered the stage of confrontation.

Since the Dengzhou rebels possessed more than [-] Hongyi cannons and hundreds of Western cannons, and Li Jiuzheng was always strong and strong, he often went out to fight in the city. There are winners and losers.

At this time, Gao Qiqian wanted to praise Ding Yi again, because they built the wall, which prevented Li Jiuzheng from attacking their camp and saved a lot of defense work.

Now even the general soldiers feel that Ding Yi's method is good.

Afterwards, Gao Qiqian had another whim and ordered to attack several times, but Ding Yi was still not allowed to fight, and the rest of the Ming army were naturally unwilling to contribute.

Moreover, the artillery on the city is powerful, and the defenses are strict (for example, no one other than the Liao people is allowed to walk freely on the Qulu in the city, and those who violate it will be killed; also, each stack is guarded by five people at night, and they are rotated according to the rotation, and the arrows are passed to warn them to sleep; From time to time, people were sent to patrol outside the city at night. If Fuzhou in the later Jin Dynasty wanted to do this, Ding Yi's soldiers and horses would definitely not be able to break through.), the Ming army attacked the city several times without any results, so they decided to adopt the strategy of staying tight and sitting in trouble. Trapped the Dengzhou defenders like the Daling River.

Ding Yi and Xu Fuzuo's soldiers and horses are nothing serious now, and they are guarding the central army every day.

Just like the battle of Daling River, the months-long siege began.

Meanwhile, in October, the imperial court transported the second batch of four Hongyi cannons from the capital, accompanied by Zhao Baihe, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, and Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch.

Fang Zhenghua and Zhao Baihe saw Gao Qiqian first, and they didn't know what to talk about. The next day, the Chinese army summoned Ding Yi and Xu Fuzou.

Xu Fuzuo arrived first, and met all the people inside one by one, including Gao Qiqian and Zhu Dadian.

Gao Qiqian introduced Fang Zhenghua and Zhao Baihe from the capital to them, and Zhao Baihe was followed by two brocade guards.

"Mr. Xu, please sit down. Our family has something to ask." Fang Zhenghua waited for the introduction, and said to him with a pleasant face.

Xu Fuzou was not polite, and sat down with a big knife and a golden knife, but he was a little flustered in his heart, because he felt that Zhao Baihe's expression was not good.

And Ding Yi is not around, he seems to feel that something is missing, and he has no sense of security.

"I don't know what is your father-in-law's errand?" Xu Fuzuo bit the bullet and asked.

Fang Zhenghua glanced at Zhao Baihe, Zhao Baihe took a step forward, and said loudly: "December last year, a large group of Houjin troops entered Jinzhou, whether Ding Yi really won a big victory, and how many heads of Houjin were killed, Mr. Bing, do you know?"

Xu Fuzuo looked blank, as if he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Mr. Xu?" Zhao Baihe asked again.

Xu Fuzuo seemed to have realized it, but he was still at a loss: "What? Is there any? In December last year, a large group of Houjin troops entered Jinzhou?"

"Why don't I know?"

"President Xu" Zhao Baihe said coldly: "Master Chief Soldier, please think about it carefully. You must know that not reporting what you know is also a serious crime?"

Fang Zhenghua also hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu still thinks it through."

Gao Qiqian and Zhu Dadian looked at him with strange expressions.

Xu Fuzou shook his head resolutely: "I remember clearly in December last year that General Ding Shen was leading people to occupy Fuzhou, and Hou Jin sent a sentry to check it out. There was a small conflict between the two sides, and Hou Jin lost dozens Just quit, didn't General Ding report it?"

Xu Fuzuo really didn't know about the Golden State War, and Ding Yi reported the same to him afterwards.

Gao Qiqian and Zhu Dadian are all old foxes. Looking at Xu's expression, he knew that most of what he said was the truth.

"Houjin is so talkative? Let Ding Yi occupy Fuzhou? Don't send troops to attack?" Zhao Baihe sternly said.

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Xu Fuzuo was unhappy: "Go ask Huang Taiji."

Gao Qiqian and Zhu Dadian both laughed.

Zhao Baihe was furious, and was about to say more.

"Lushun Counselor Ding Yi is here." Someone shouted outside.

Everyone was silent at the same time.

Not long after, Ding Yi strode in.

"Brother Xu."

"Guardian Gao, Master Zhu—" Ding Yi smiled and saw everyone, and when he saw Fang Zhenghua and Jin Yiwei, he was slightly taken aback.

Gao Qiqian introduced Ding Yi again, and Ding Yi rushed to greet them one by one.

Fang Zhenghua nodded to him with a smile, Zhao Baihe snorted coldly, his attitude was extremely arrogant.

After the two parties met the ceremony, Fang Zhenghua suddenly coughed a few times: "General Ding, Jin Yiwei has a few words to ask you?"

Jin Yiwei asked me?It must be Chongzhen. Ding Yi remained calm and looked at Zhao Baihe calmly: "What orders does Zhao Qianhu have?"
