Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 204 The Emperor Visits Fengyang
That night, Duoduo heard that there were movements in the north, south, east, and west of Kaifeng City, so he hurriedly got up and rode his horse to the outside of the account.

At this time, Tulai also came on horseback: "My lord, it's just a few groups of enemies who are out of the city, and they don't care about fighting. They fled in a hurry at night. I'm afraid they are going to report the news. Zhu Youjian's yellow umbrella cover is still on the city wall Come on, you probably haven’t left the city yet.”

"The emperor was trapped here on a hunting tour. Naturally, he is going to send reinforcements. It just so happens that when Zhu Youjian transfers his guards here, he can fight a decisive battle here. The provincial long-distance march to the south of the Yangtze River." .

Doduo then ordered: "Continue to strengthen the vigilance. In the morning of tomorrow, the other two Qing troops ordered to join forces will encircle Kaifeng with the Chinese army immediately. Make sure that Zhu Youjian cannot escape from Kaifeng before the city of Kaifeng is destroyed." city!"

In the early morning of the next day, the [-] Qing troops really began to move towards Kaifeng City, and surrounded Kaifeng City.

At the same time, Duoduo also ordered Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde to line up the two hundred red-clothed cannons that had been transported to the designated location, aiming at Kaifeng City for a round of bombardment.

The city wall of Kaifeng could not withstand the bombardment of hundreds of red cannons, and a large piece collapsed in an instant.

Kong Youde, who was in charge of the main offensive task, immediately ordered his Han soldiers of the Qing army to rush across the wooden bridge first, making the moat completely unable to stop the offensive of the Qing army. Once the Han soldiers of the Qing army built the floating bridge, Tulai led the way The Eight Banners armored soldiers rushed into Kaifeng City, shouting to kill Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian.

However, when Tulai rushed into the outer city, he saw a two-meter-wide ditch in front of him, and under the ditch were sticking upside-down wooden tips.

Tulai had to order the armored soldiers under his command (more than half of the white armored soldiers had been lost, mainly the red armored soldiers) to stop, and looked at the trench in front of him depressedly: "This is the same thing again, the officials of the Ming court guarding the city are Who, I wish I could kill him!"

Duoduo also came on horseback at this time, seeing that there was no yellow umbrella on the inner city of Kaifeng, he couldn't help but was very surprised: "Where did Zhu Youjian go!"

"Don't worry, my lord, wait for my servant to ask you." Geng Zhongming shouted after speaking: "Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty, now I, Wang Shinan, are here to persuade you to return quickly, otherwise I will kill you on the day my army breaks the city." You have to leave Kaifeng City alone!"

"My Emperor Daming has safely evacuated, Duoduo, you don't really think that His Majesty the Ming Emperor will really play with you here, hahaha!"

Lu Daqi laughed loudly, and decisively ordered the officers and soldiers under his command to fight back immediately. In an instant, countless blunderbuss bullets, bows and arrows shot towards Duoduo.

Dodo led the Qing army out of the outer city without even thinking about it, but when he came back, he angrily cut off his desk and cursed: "Damn Zhu Youjian, you made me stay here for nothing. Delayed for ten days!"

"My lord, calm down. Now that Zhu Youjian has fled, there is no need to besiege Kaifeng City, and Zhu Youjian must not have run far, so we should pursue him immediately!"

At this time, Kong Youde persuaded him from the sidelines.

Duoduo also nodded approvingly: "Geng Zhongming is ordered to continue bombarding Kaifeng City. Kaifeng City must be captured within three days! This king is going to slaughter Kaifeng City!"

Once again, the Qing army used red cannons to blast open the city gates of Kaifeng City. Lu Daqi had to retreat into the city and order the officials and people to use the Qing army's construction team to block it.

Fortunately, the city was destroyed by Lu Daqi and there were trenches everywhere, and because Li Zicheng flooded Kaifeng before, the city was full of silt, so the Qing cavalry could not play an advantage in the city, but Lu Daqi could lead the defending Ming army against the Qing The army carried out a certain resistance.

At sunset, after the Qing army's offensive subsided, Lu Daqi did not love to fight, but immediately led the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers defending the city to break out of the encirclement.

However, at this time, the pockets of the Qing army encircling Kaifeng were basically tight, so it was much more difficult for Lu Daqi to escape from Kaifeng than when Zhu Youjian escaped. There were more than 2 Ming troops and civilians, only a few thousand people followed Lu Daqi After breaking out, most of them were beheaded by the Qing army.

Early the next morning, Dodo's army completely occupied Kaifeng.

However, Kaifeng City was deserted at this time, and supplies such as military equipment, money, food, and cloth had already been transported away by Lu Daqi a few days ago.

Duoduokong had the anger of massacring the city but had no place to massacre the city, so he had to order Tulai to search around for the scattered remnants of the Ming army and the people to behead them. It seemed that otherwise it would not be enough to extinguish his anger.

However, Duoduo only stayed in Kaifeng City for one day, and immediately came to Guide Mansion in pursuit of Zhu Youjian.

……

Zhu Youjian did not stay in Guide Mansion, but ordered the prefect of Guide Mansion to leave a decree for Lu Daqi who was about to evacuate to Guide Mansion.

Zhu Youjian knew that Yi Duoduo was eager to track down his whereabouts at this time, and would soon send multiple cavalry to chase him, and the only way he could retreat now was from Guide Mansion to Fengyang, the capital of Zhongdu. .

So Zhu Youjian could only run non-stop along the way, and soon arrived in Fengyang City.

At this point, Zhu Youjian didn't stop.

Li Banghua, Governor of the Third Army of the Guards, and Liu Fangliang, Chief Military Officer, also immediately brought Zhu Youjian into the city.

It was the morning of the seventh day of April, and Zhu Youjian had just entered Fengyang City, when it began to rain heavily.

The whole Jiangbei seemed to be shrouded in haze by rain and fog in an instant, so that Zhu Youjian could no longer hear the sound of cannons from the Qing army's establishment of slaves.

But Zhu Youjian could feel that after being angered by him, the Duoduo Department of the Qing Army would probably bombard the cities along the way from Guide Mansion to Fengyang in Daming even more than before.

Zhu Youjian immediately summoned Li Banghua and Liu Fangliang: "Now the Jiannu Duoduo tribe should have attacked the city of Guide Mansion. From Guide Mansion to Fengyang, there are only Xiayi, Yongcheng, and Suzhou cities separated. The army has been properly arranged according to the previous resolution of the Grand Marshal's Office."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the arrangements have been made. The main force of the First Corps of the Third Army has been transferred to Mengcheng, and the main force of the Second Corps has been transferred to Dingyuan. If Chuzhou attacks Nanjing, he will definitely go through Mengcheng, and my First Corps will deal him a heavy blow in Mengcheng, prompting him to continue to attack Fengyang. , my First Corps will naturally fight back in Dingyuan!"

When Liu Fangliang said this, Zhu Youjian nodded: "Duoduo now only wants to pursue me and occupy Nanjing City, so he will definitely not love to fight. Once he is frustrated in Mengcheng or Dingyuan, he must be defeated by Sizhou. Go to Yangzhou, and then go south to Zhenjiang! At that time, the first guard army will rush to Huai'an from Xuzhou and Zaozhuang, and the second guard army will go northward against the river. Your third army will gather in Fengyang and rush to Yangzhou quickly. And Yangzhou, wipe out the Duoduo tribe right under the city of Yangzhou!"
