At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

As soon as these words came out, the Manchu nobles lowered their heads one after another.

"Everyone, the Qing Dynasty has reached the point of life and death. Zhang Sheng killed Prince Jian and captured Dezhou. If he cannot be defeated, the situation in Beizhi will be out of control."

"Now, reinforcements from the Western Bandits have arrived, and Sun Kewang has sent out his own Tiger Guards at the bottom of the box."

"If we, the Qing Dynasty, don't do our best, how can we defeat the Western bandits and stabilize the situation?"

Ye Bilong said earnestly: "Today, the Western bandits are rampant. Although our Qing Dynasty has many soldiers, it has too few elites."

"Only by letting the Baoyi army form an army and suppress it with the last force of the Qing Dynasty can we have any hope of victory."

"Once Zhang Sheng is defeated, the new soldiers are trained, and the soldiers undergo bloody battles, then a force of one hundred thousand tigers and wolves will be available."

"With this army here, we can fight with Obai's Shaanxi-Gansu Army in the east and west to protect half of our Qing Dynasty and then restore the entire world!"

For a time, the Manchu nobles fell into thinking.

"The Ai family and the emperor have made up their minds. The Qing Dynasty is not only ours, but also yours!"

"If you don't protect the country and the country of the Qing Dynasty, then the Qing Dynasty will really be doomed!"

Xiaozhuang scolded: "Now, let's talk about whether you are willing to protect the Qing Dynasty!"

"Slave... I have three hundred servants in my house who are willing to dedicate themselves to the imperial court to pacify the Western bandits." A Manchu nobleman said.

"There are 267 servants in the slave's mansion who are willing to dedicate themselves to the imperial court to pacify the Western bandits!" Ye Bilong struck while the railway was hot.

"There are four hundred and sixty-three servants in the little prince's mansion, who are willing to dedicate themselves to the court to pacify the Western bandits!" the fifteen-year-old Prince Kang Jieshu said.

"There are also one hundred and twenty-seven servants in the slave house who are willing to dedicate themselves to the imperial court to pacify the Western bandits." Another Manchu nobleman said.

That's it, three hundred for you and five hundred for me.

In the palace, a sizable army of servants is taking shape.

Historically, during the San Francisco Revolution, Burney rebelled and wanted to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the country.

Kangxi had no troops to quell the rebellion, so he had to adopt Zhou Peigong's suggestion to summon the domestic slaves of the princes and ministers in Beijing to form an army.

Finally, a coat army was established, and Burni was successfully pacified. Finally, it entered the battlefield of Shaanxi-Gansu and forced Wang Fuchen to surrender.

But now we, the Qing Dynasty, have managed to piece together a coated army of more than 36,000 people.

Looking at everything in front of him, Xiaozhuang breathed a long sigh of relief.

"In the past, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were like pigs and dogs, being slaughtered wantonly by bandits. If they could be like me in the Qing Dynasty, how could the Ming Dynasty be like this?"

"Now that all of us in the Qing Dynasty are united, we can pacify the Western bandits and restore the world. It will be just around the corner!"

Xiaozhuang was filled with emotion and was deeply moved by his servants.

Yes, if our Ming Dynasty could be like the Qing Dynasty, the Zhu family's empire would not be over for a while!

How many princes and nobles do we have in the Qing Dynasty now?

If only our Ming Dynasty could form a large army based on the numbers of two thousand princes, one thousand county princes, and eight hundred nobles.

Then Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji probably cried directly!

With so many princes and nobles, it would be more than enough to put together an army of 100,000 capable of fighting.

Of course, this is also the national condition of our Ming Dynasty.

This Zhu Di rebelled and rose to power in the front, but then tried his best to weaken him from behind, directly blocking the road he had walked.

King Ning rebelled again, which led our Ming Dynasty to directly target the vassal king to death.

This makes the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty powerless even if he has the intention!

Haven't you seen the fate of King Qin from the north who gathered two thousand righteous men, sufficient food and wages, and well-equipped soldiers when Emperor Longwu was still the king of Tang?

If Chongzhen could loosen his ties, it is estimated that our Ming vassal kings would be able to contribute at least tens of thousands of fully paid Ming troops!

Not to mention the tens of thousands of hectares of land that Fu Fan has in Henan, it is not a problem to raise tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

In Yunnan, Lord Sun supported an army of 200,000 people on 70,000 to 80,000 hectares of land!

The rent charged by King Fu is even more severe than that of Lord Sun’s camp!

All in all, a coated army of more than 36,000 people was quickly formed with the help of Manchu princes and ministers.

Thanks to the efforts of the Qing Dynasty, the treasury in Beijing was opened, and countless swords, spears, and armor were quickly equipped.

By the time the Eight Banners outside the Pass and the Mongolian soldiers from the outer vassals arrived in Beijing, more than 36,000 coated troops had already taken shape.

With the issuance of another imperial edict.

Taking the lead from Xiaozhuang, the Manchu nobles in Beijing raised 30,000 for you and 50,000 for me, and together they raised more than 2 million military pay, which was ten times what our Ming Dynasty raised before it died.

At the end of January, military pay was distributed to various Qing armies.

Led by Shengjing Angbang Zhangjing Dunbai, 7,000 Eight Banners outside the Pass, more than 14,000 Mongolian soldiers from foreign vassals, more than 36,000 coated troops, and a total of more than 58,000 Qing troops marched along the open road in a mighty manner. Go to Yue Le's command and obey orders.

At this time, Zhang Sheng had fought against Yue Le many times. Although he had a small victory, he was still unable to defeat Yue Le's army.

With the arrival of this large army, the total strength of the Qing army on the front line suddenly surged to more than 100,000.

The balance of victory began to tip.

Boom boom boom——

Red-coated cannons opened fire one after another, causing bricks and tiles to fly from the city walls of Texas.

Yue Le led his troops to camp for more than 200 miles. With the strength of the troops and the full support of the Qing Dynasty, he finally reached the city wall of Dezhou after more than a month.

"Tomorrow, under cover of artillery fire, the Eight Banners and Mongolian cavalry will attack to help the infantry continue to build fortifications. Dezhou must be surrounded!" He shouted and gave his order.

"嗻——" Dun Bai, Jin Li, Li Sang'e and other generals of the Eight Banners handed over their hands one after another.

"Prince An, our Mongolian men have arrived, so why should our army be afraid of the Western thieves? We can just attack the city. If we delay this, it will be a waste of time!" Prince Wu Keshan of Horqin said dissatisfied.

"That's right, Lord Yue, with us Mongolian son-in-law here, why should we be afraid of Zhang Sheng!" Manzhu Xili and others said openly to the Mongolian kings.

"My lords and Baylor, the cavalry of the Western Bandits is very powerful. Although our army has a large number of people, if we rush to attack the city, I am afraid that Zhang Sheng will take advantage of it."

"It's better to start slowly and build fortifications to surround Dezhou." Yue Le advised.

As soon as this statement came out, the Mongolian princes showed dissatisfaction.

"Dear princes and Baylor, although your troops are better at riding horses, you are not unaware of the fierceness of Zhang Sheng's elite cavalry."

Dunbai said: "These days, our army has been engaging in small cavalry battles with the Western bandits every day, but where have we gained an advantage?"

"Is it possible that you are willing to bury your own wealth?"

Wu Keshan's face became serious when he heard this. Although they Mongolians are arrogant. But he's not a fool either.

The cavalry of the Western Thieves is indeed very powerful. In these large and small cavalry battles, neither the Mongolian cavalry nor the Eight Banners cavalry can take advantage.

It was only with the support of artillery and infantry that we were able to push back the Western bandits.

If we attack the city rashly and expose our loopholes to the Western thieves, something might really happen!

"Prince An, since you are determined like this, it is hard for me to say anything." Wu Keshan said.

"Everyone, Xiao Wang has already set up a banquet. Please come in and rest first." Yue Le cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll be disrespectful." The Mongolian princes said one after another.

"Everyone, please!" Yue Le spread his hands, and a group of Mongolian princes went into the tent to eat.

"A group of idiots, if they really attack the city directly, these Mongolians will collapse instantly if they are hit by Zhang Sheng!" Jin Li looked at the backs of Wu Keshan and others and sneered.

Now with the arrival of the Eight Banners outside the Pass and the Mongolian soldiers from the outer vassals, the number of cavalry in Yue Le's hands has exceeded Zhang Sheng.

Among the seven thousand and eight banners outside the pass, there are 4,000 cavalry, and more than 14,000 Mongolians are all cavalry.

Coupled with the remaining cavalry troops in Yue Le's hands, the Qing army's cavalry has exceeded 20,000.

It's just that although these cavalry are large in number, they are still not as good as Zhang Sheng in terms of combat power.

The four thousand cavalry of the Eight Banners outside the Pass are of great use.

However, the large number of Mongolian cavalry are loosely disciplined. Once they engage in a large-scale battle with the Western thieves' elite cavalry, the consequences will be disastrous!

Otherwise, with the support of infantry and artillery, these Mongolian cavalry would have been beaten to shit by Zhang Sheng!

"Jin Gushan is careful, the court still needs their help now, not to mention Wu Keshan is the brother of the Empress Dowager, we must not be rude." Yue Le warned.

"Hey." Jin Li cupped his hands.

"Prince An, are you going to keep building fortifications to surround Dezhou?" Dunbai asked.

"Otherwise?" Yue Le sighed and said, "Our cavalry is not as good as Zhang Sheng's. We can only have a chance of victory by forming a stronghold and fighting poorly."

"Dezhou is an important town in the north. If Zhang Sheng wants to take Beijing, he will not give up. Once the encirclement is completed, our army can build up the city internally, block reinforcements externally, and eliminate some of the Western bandits to turn the tide of the war!"

The next day, the Qing army still launched red-coated artillery, protected by infantry.

Then they threatened the civilians to build fortifications at the new location, while the Eight Banners cavalry and Mongolian cavalry provided cover.

Zhang Sheng's troops either went out of the city to attack and harass, or divided their forces to break up the rear, but the effect was not good.

Facing the fortress tactics of more than 200 miles from the Yue Le Company, Zhang Sheng, a strong general, gradually fell into a state of bewilderment.

"Tomorrow, our cavalry, Tiger Guards, and Jinyi Guards will all leave the city to camp, while the Longxiang Town and Green Camp soldiers will defend the city!"

In Dezhou City, Zhang Sheng said solemnly.

Now the Qing army's fortifications have been built more and more, and there is a tendency to encircle them.

If Xiaoqi and the cavalrymen of Huqi Town do not leave the city, once they are surrounded in the city, then these elite cavalry will fall into the shallows, be bullied by dogs, and be teased by shrimps!

Only by taking the cavalry out of the city can the combat power of these elite cavalry be brought into play.

Otherwise, like Lu Bu in the Battle of Xiapi, the entire army will be blocked in the city and can only wait for destruction while holding on!

"Yes!" All the generals of the Western Camp raised their hands and agreed with Zhang Sheng's decision.

These warriors naturally know the seriousness of the current problem. If the cavalry is surrounded in the city, not only will their combat effectiveness be greatly reduced, but the horses and personnel will also consume a lot of food and grass.

It's better to camp out of the city and let the Jingqi display their fighting power!

The next day, Zhang Sheng, Chen Jian, Liang Cheng and others, with Xiaoqi, Hussar, Huwei, Jinyiwei, and part of the Green Camp soldiers, totaling 20,000 soldiers and horses, swarmed out of the city to camp.

Only Liu Tianxiu's Longxiang Town and the more than 4,000 Green Camp soldiers who had been recruited were left in the city.

After seeing Zhang Sheng lead his troops out of the camp, Yue Le did not dare to neglect and continued to use his strength advantage to continue to advance the fortress tactics.

Finally, three days later, the entire Dezhou City was surrounded.

The contact between Liu Tianxiu, Zhang Sheng and others was completely cut off.

As time goes by and winter is about to pass, the thick snow begins to melt, making the road straight north softer.

In the camp outside Dezhou City, a group of generals from the Western Camp frowned as they looked at the map.

Yue Le's fortress tactics have surrounded Dezhou, and it seems not easy to defeat them head-on.

"What a fool, this Yue Le is a bastard, and he has made his bastard shell so hard to beat!" Zhang Sheng cursed.

During this period, the Daxi Army also made many attempts.

But the Qing army was like a bastard, not daring to stray too far from its own camp.

Facing the fortress of more than 200 miles from the company's camp, the elite cavalry of the Great Western Army are not afraid of field battles, but if they attack the fortress, they cannot shake it at all!

"Sir, our cavalry has entered Yue Le's grain road many times, but the Qing army lit beacons as a warning every time."

"As soon as the Qing army's grain transport team saw the beacon fire, they would escape into the Qing army's bastard shells, and Yue Le also sent reinforcements to help as soon as possible."

"Under such circumstances, if we don't pull out the camps from Cangzhou to Dezhou, even if we can intercept some of the Qing army's grain and grass, we won't be able to get Yue Le to withdraw from Dezhou!" Chen Jian spoke slowly, with a heavy tone in his words.

"What a Yue Le, this thief is much harder to deal with than Ji Du!" Liang Cheng said solemnly: "The camps he built from Cangzhou to Dezhou are all extremely exquisite, which shows that this person is quite capable."

"Our army is all elite cavalry. Except for a small number of green battalion soldiers, they are not suitable for forcibly attacking fortresses."

"It's impossible to pull out all of his camps one by one."

"And as long as his entire layout is shaken, even if one or two camps change hands, Yue Le's food route will not be cut off!"

"In that case! Then we won't deal with these bastards!" Zhang Sheng said solemnly: "The brothers under my command are all very young, and they are not used to attack difficulties and waste them."

"Master, if we don't deal with these bastards, how can we rescue Longxiang Town?" Chen Jian and others said quickly.

"Let's go directly to Beijing!" Zhang Sheng scolded: "Damn it, I don't believe it anymore. I brought my brothers to Beijing, and the thief Yue Le can still sit still!"

"Even if he can sit still, the Tatar court still can't!"

"As long as my troops arrive in Beijing, the thief Yue Le will definitely bring troops to help. By then, I will send the heavenly soldiers in front of me to lure these Tatars out of their bastard shells, set up an ambush halfway, and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

"In this way, not only can the siege of Dezhou be solved, but maybe after defeating the main force of Yue Le, our army can also conquer Beijing in one go!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Jian and others opened their eyes wide and looked at the map carefully.

At this glance, I found that Zhang Sheng's plan was very clever!

On the hundreds of miles from Dezhou to Beijing, as long as Yue Le comes out of his bastard shell, the Jiaqian Army will have plenty of tricks to deal with him! (End of chapter)
