The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 564 Hauge's Counterattack

Chapter 564 Hauge's Counterattack

But what troubled Gebuku the most about the "watchtower" was its angular shape—every piece of the protruding city wall had a cannon.No matter from which angle he sends troops to attack, he will be bombarded by at least two cannons.Of course, there are also a large number of cross-shots of firecrackers.

It turns out that this so-called "watchtower" was built by Wang Yingxiong according to the blueprint of the bastion sent by the King Fuzheng. Although it was only built with rammed earth and the size was not large, it did not take a while to benefit from the scientific shape of the bastion. It will be captured in a while.

After spending three days in the sky above these inconspicuous "watchtowers", Gebuku finally figured it out, and ordered to bypass these troublesome things - anyway, the Shahe River is not deep, and it can be crossed with just some rafts.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Ming soldiers in those small "watchtowers" were so bold that they sneaked out of the fortifications that night after he crossed the river, and approached his camp along the river bank, clamoring and firing guns everywhere.

The soldiers in the battalion thought it was Wang Yingxiong's main force attacking the battalion, and fought back in a hurry. It was not until dawn that the small Ming army had already left. At night, the battalions trampled and shot each other, killing nearly a thousand people.

So Gebuku had to allocate another 3000 people to guard these watchtowers, and then captured a large number of peasants nearby, and together with his soldiers, they dug soil and filled the trenches outside the city.

On the other hand, Wang Yingxiong stayed in the city obediently, only paying attention to guarding against sneak attacks.He knew that his ability to command troops was mediocre, so he put all his energy into building the city wall, but he used limited military expenses to make Chengdu more impressive.

Finally, ten days later, news of Qin Zuoming's capture of Jianmen Pass reached Chengdu.

Gebuku suddenly turned pale with shock - all his food, grass and luggage were transported from Ningqiang through Jianmen Pass, and there was only less than ten days of grain and rice in his camp.He glanced at the first trench that had just been filled, and felt a sense of despair. He might not even be able to touch the city walls of Chengdu in such a short time...

Haoge is still in Shaanxi, but his heart has already flown back to Beijing.In recent days, he has had the same dream every day. In the dream, surrounded by many courtiers, he scolded Dorgon for being incompetent and traitorous. .

In order to make this dream come true as soon as possible, he directly brought two thousand Xiaoqi all the way back to Beijing on horseback.

Weng Mao waited for two full days by the pipeline in Xi'an Mansion, and finally saw the long-awaited Hauge and his party—he made up his mind to go back to Beijing with Prince Su to raise an incident, and then boarded the boat of Prince Su , why worry about high officials and generous salaries?
In fact, Hauge came much earlier than Weng Mao expected. He straddled his horse and kept up with Prince Su's team. He couldn't help being surprised and said, "Your Highness has already arrived at the overall situation in northern Sichuan?"

Hauge was in a good mood, but he answered every question, "Although it's not a big deal, it's not far behind.

"You know that on the day Zhang Xianzhong died, more than [-]% of the Western bandits fled. The next day Xing Na took down Jianmen Pass without bloodshed, and the Western bandits fled like frightened birds.

"Afterwards Luo Luohun took the initiative to ask Ying to take the land of Shu for me, so I agreed to him, and I was about to leave and return to Beijing."

"Prince Yanxi?" Weng Mao frowned slightly upon hearing this, "I heard that he is a little..."

Haoge smiled and waved his hands and said: "I know this kid has a high heart but no means, but right now the bandits are leaderless, and the situation has already been defeated, and Nanming's full force is only [-] to [-] soldiers. In this situation, I Even if a horse monkey is left in Hanzhong, there will be no defeat."

Weng Mao was still a little worried, "His Royal Highness, in fact, with today's situation, even if you stay in Hanzhong for a month or two, it will not be too late to return east after the war situation stabilizes. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Chahaug saw that the horses were showing signs of fatigue, so he ordered him to camp on the spot and feed the horses.After getting off the horse, he took out a piece of brocade from his arms, and handed it to Weng Mao mysteriously, "I got this thing, do you think I can go back in a hurry?"

Weng Mao took it in surprise and looked at it, and a look of joy appeared on his face, "It's really God helping His Highness! With this thing, Dorgon will be so powerful, and it will be difficult to turn over!"

What he held in his hand was the peace negotiation document signed by Qi Chongge and Zhang Xianzhong. Although the wooden pavilion on Zengjia Mountain was destroyed that day, the peace agreement was pressed under a chair and it was not damaged at all.It was agreed in the content that the Qing government recognized Sichuan as the land of Daxi, and paid another 18 taels of silver to Zhang Xianzhong, and even wanted to marry his son who was given to him by the princess of the clan!This is a total embarrassment to Qing Dynasty!

Weng Mao could already imagine how much shock this letter of peace would cause when it was announced in the court, and Dorgon's great achievements in leading the army into the customs would basically be offset by this peace negotiation.If he took the opportunity to bring up the humiliation of the peace talks in Mobei and the defeat in Jiangnan, the court officials would definitely despise Dorgon.

Shunzhi was still young, and the Qing Dynasty still needed a person who was in charge of the family. At that time, besides Prince Su, who else would have the qualification and prestige? !

No wonder His Royal Highness Prince Su immediately left the Sichuan war and returned to Beijing. His decision was correct!
Weng Mao returned the peace book to Hauge, and immediately offered several good strategies to expand the results of the battle, only to hear Hauge nodding repeatedly.

While the two were talking, they saw a Tang soldier with a small flag on his back galloping from behind, and handed a military report to Hauge's personal guard.

Hauge opened the Natang newspaper to check, and immediately smiled triumphantly at Weng Mao: "Sure enough, as I expected! Wang Zuntan broke Langzhong, captured the Queen of the Western Thieves, and recruited 190 and two Western Thieves officials under the pseudo-prince Sun Kewang and Prime Minister Wang Zhaolin.

"Gebuku's [-] troops bypassed Mianzhou and attacked Chengdu directly. Although this strategy is a bit risky, the Ming army in Chengdu is less than [-], and they are all weak troops from Wang Yingxiong's army. It should not be a problem to win."

Weng Mao hurriedly bowed deeply and said, "With the Northern Sichuan Victory Report and the peace letter, His Highness's great event will surely come true this time!"

It's just that the two of them didn't know that the second half of these two military situations were deleted by Luo Luohun - Wang Zuntan broke through Langzhong and gained a lot, but was later ambushed by the Ming army taking advantage of the chaos, and the entire army was wiped out.However, when Gebuku's soldiers came to Chengdu, they had nowhere to eat like a dog eating a hedgehog, but the grain road was cut off by the Ming army.

In addition, there is a military situation that even Luo Luohun himself does not know for the time being, that is, Qin Zuoming has joined forces with Qin Yiming and is leading an army to attack Guangyuan in the north.

……

Beijing.

In the Hall of Martial Arts in the Forbidden City, all the courtiers were frowning.An urgent report came from outside the Great Wall yesterday that Teng Jisi was conferred the title of King Chahar by Nanming.Abnai, king of Chahar, who was sealed by the Qing Dynasty, was defeated and fled to Tumed.

Dorgon sighed heavily. How could he have imagined that the moment he pressed Khalkha's gourd, Dunit, an inconspicuous little tribe, raised his gourd.

"Tell me, what's the best way..."

He hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly heard a confidant guard shouting loudly outside the palace gate: "His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, Prince Su led the army back to Beijing, and has already entered Guang'an Gate!"
