The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 152
Zhen Zhen glanced at the cannon that had been mounted on the carriage, pretending to be serious and said: "With these heavy firearms, we will show off our prestige of breaking the barracks and fight for His Royal Highness Chen!"

"Yes!" Mazi Sun, Yu Zhen and others immediately saluted.Now they are not only military uniforms, but even passwords and salutes have begun to imitate the Dragon Guards.Zhu Linmi didn't hide her secrets, and let them take the training manual of the Dragon Guards to use. Of course, the three disciplines and six attentions must be followed together.

"Okay, you should be tired after moving for a long time, go and rest for a while." Zhen Zhen turned and smiled again, "I will tell everyone to set up camp on the spot later. His Royal Highness Chen Wang gave us a few hundred catties of fat , everyone have a good meal at noon."

"Set up camp?" Sun Mazi was taken aback when he heard the words, and lowered his voice, "Didn't you say that we want to besiege Pucheng? We should go south quickly."

"What's the rush?" Zhen Zhen blinked slyly, "Your Highness said, you have to take your time, and wait until all the people in Shifu have fled back to the city. What is this called? Oh, gather around to fight for help!"

……

At the same time, Gu Yanwu led the 5000 troops of the Polu Camp to Chong'an, making a detour around a large circle, and headed south almost close to Mount Wuyi.

It wasn't until the next day that the soldiers of the Six Thousand Polu Battalion who stayed at Xianxiaguan lazily ate their fill and slept well, then unhurriedly set off from the camp, walked slowly for another three or four days, and finally arrived at Under the city of Pucheng.

There are still more than 400 people from the Shifu Department near Pucheng. After they learned that Xianxiaguan was captured by the Ming army three days ago, they immediately retreated into the city.

The gate of Pucheng is closed tightly, and there are many bows and guns on the top of the city, as if they are ready for battle.

Zhen Zhen then ordered the army to surround Pucheng, but his subordinates still looked lazy. It took more than half a day to finally surround the city. During this time, several groups of people from the city were sent to Jian'an and other places to ask for help.

But soon, there were bursts of cannons roaring outside the city, and it didn't stop until late at night.

In fact, Zhen Zhen just asked Sun Mazi to use a [-]-jin four-pound cannon to create momentum. It was impossible to blast the city wall with such a light artillery.

But the Qing army in the city was frightened to death. After the county magistrate of Pucheng fought in fear for a long time in the center of the artillery sound, he sent people to sneak out of the city in the night to ask for help.

However, the Ming army besieging the city seemed to be extremely careless, and their military discipline was not very strict. Many patrolling soldiers were sleeping secretly at night, so several groups of people who asked for help were able to escape the encirclement and sent out the news of Pucheng's emergency.

Jian'an City.

Prefect Yamen.

"Lord Jia Lazhangjing," General Shi Fu Dahasu came with his bodyguards, and hurriedly stood up to greet him, "The military situation is really urgent, so I have no choice but to disturb your rest in the middle of the night."

Although Shi Fu was the commander-in-chief of Fujian, and his rank was higher than that of Dahasu, the latter was the Manchu with the highest position in Jian'an City, so all the officials still respected him.

Because Zhu Linmi deliberately let people spread the word, Dahasu already knew about the occupation of Xianxia Pass by the Ming army. Hearing this, he stared at Shi Fu in surprise and said, "Urgent military situation? Those southern barbarians... the Ming army has come to Jian'an?!"

"That's not the case." General Shi Fu asked Dahasu to take his seat, and glanced at the people present, "I just received an urgent report from Pucheng that more than [-] soldiers from the Ming army surrounded Pucheng, and the cannons continued day and night. The situation is critical."

He paused, and then said: "According to the information my people have found, the Ming army wanted to defend Xianxia Pass to the death, so they wanted to take Pucheng as a barrier first, so they used all their troops to attack desperately."

Cheng Yi, the magistrate of Jian'an, immediately said: "Since the bandit army has captured Xianxia Pass, it is impossible to preserve Pucheng, which is close at hand. The officials thought that they should inform the defenders of Pucheng and order them to defend the city until General Boluo returns to help them." , The siege is self-defeating.

"And Jian'an is the place where the military rations are hoarded. It maintains the safety of our army. We must not weaken the strength of Jian'an in order to save Pucheng."

Shi Lang had seen the envoy sent by Zhu Linmi the day before yesterday, and immediately said in a loud voice as King Chen ordered, "Master Cheng wants to keep the army in Jian'an, so you are safer?"

"you……"

Shi Lang continued: "Those who were besieged in the city of Pucheng are soldiers of my Shi family! There are more than 400 people! Let them be trapped in the city and wait to die. In the future, who will work for my uncle, no, for the chief soldier?" ?!
Cheng Yi frowned and said, "This Ming army was able to attack Xianxia Pass, which shows that its combat power should not be weak. Shi Zongbing rushed to fight, just in case..."

"They are nothing more than blind cats meeting dead rats." Shi Lang immediately retorted according to the prearranged rhetoric, "Gain, Tong Peng, and Tong Shenling were good at mobilizing the Xianxia Pass guards to leave the pass to clear up the rebellious army, and some people colluded with the enemy and stole them in the middle of the night." Opening and closing the narrow gate made the bandit army take advantage of the loophole.

"These thieves had no more than [-] people, and after only one day of besieging the city, seven or eight groups of people who asked for help slipped out of the city. The situation can be solved, and the soldiers in the city can attack, or this team of bandits can be cut off in one fell swoop!"

Shi Fu has always been very appreciative of his nephew's military command and strategy ability. Hearing what he said, he immediately nodded and said: "I, Shi Fu, was ordered to guard Jianning, but let the bandit army steal Xianxia Pass. .If Pucheng is broken again, how can I explain to General Boluo?
"In addition, the grain and grass in Jian'an City are not enough for the Fujian army to enter Fujian for a month. It will take half a month for the general to lead a heavy army from Taniguchi back to Jianning. If Pucheng is used as an outpost by then, it will be quite cheap to attack Xianxiaguan. But if Pucheng In the enemy's hands, if he can't hold on, or before he can take Pucheng, our army will be exhausted!"

Seeing that Shi Fu also had the same idea, Cheng Yi didn't say much anymore, but turned to Dahasu and said, "I'd like to ask your lord to make a decision."

Although Dahasu has no right to restrain Shi Fu, as the guard of Jian'an, if he asks Shi Fu to assist in defending the city, Shi Fu will certainly not be able to shirk.

Seeing the hesitant look on Dahasu's face, Shi Lang immediately spread out the map, pointed to Xianxia Pass and said, "The general still has a plan, all adults please refer to it."

"Say it!"

Shi Lang smiled slightly, "The thieves were eager to take Pucheng, so they mobilized their main force to surround the city. Then at this time, Xianxia Pass must be defended empty, and the commander-in-chief may not have to go straight to Pucheng, but quickly go around the city. The soldiers pointed at Xianxia Pass, in order to protect the pass, the rebel army must withdraw their troops and return to rescue, and the siege of Pucheng will be relieved by itself."

Tong Peng's subordinates fought against the Longwei army at night, so it was not clear how many Ming troops there were. By dawn, they had all been surrendered by the Polu camp.And Zhu Linmei let people spread the news that there are few soldiers.

So until now, Jian'an city still thinks that the Ming army has only 7000 to no more than [-] troops.

Hearing Shi Lang's "offering advice", before Shi Fu could speak, Dahasu's eyes lit up.If it is true as Shi Lang said, not only can Pucheng be kept, it is even possible to take back Xianxia Pass, at least they can intercept the rescued Ming army on the way.

In this way, the crisis of Xianxiaguan will be solved easily!
