Chapter 336 Weird
When Ye Yun attacked Jiujiang, he had faced such a thing, but Wu Sangui and Zuo Menggeng would not hold on. When they saw that the city wall was blown up, they immediately took their people back.
Even so, Ye Yun did not let the army in rashly, but sent several squads of people to test it. In the end, he dared to rush in with his people, because he was afraid of heavy casualties.
"Don't ask me for instructions, I have no better way. I ordered the artillery to continue shooting. If the city wall on the south is blown up, then continue to squeeze the other three sides."
Seeing his subordinates coming in wave after wave, Gao Jie didn't know what to say. His subordinates were full of fighting spirit and thought about getting the opportunity to attack.
But Gao Jie really dared not give orders. If blood flows into a river, let alone the crown prince, Li Guodong probably won't let him go.
It’s not that we cherish our lives, but once such a war is formed, the Qing people are likely to do this in the future. Tens of thousands of people will die in every city. How many of us are there?
The soldiers under his command looked at each other and knew that the general was upset now, so they went down to make arrangements.
After the city wall on the south was blown up, one night, the Qing army gathered the gravels again, which could be regarded as forming a simple city wall. However, when dawn, the Ming army would blow it up again.
Both sides have been working on the issue of the city walls. The Qing army did not suffer much every day, but if it accumulates, it will definitely not be a decimal. If the confrontation continues, it will be increasingly unfavorable for the Qing army.
"These damn Qing troops were originally claimed to be invincible in the world, but now they have turned into turtles. If we had known this was the case, we wouldn't have surrounded them. The general would have vision. If we hadn't destroyed so many of them outside the city before, we would have really no way to deal with them."
Mu Xianliang is now impressed by Gao Jie's original policies. If so many people were not eliminated outside the city, the power in the city would have been stronger now.
"Don't say these Bodhisattva words here, they are of no use. We did win before, but it has been half a month recently and there is no result in the battle."
Gao Jie said amused and crying that in the past half month, he also sought to break through other places, but no matter how you do things, the Qing army was determined, and they were stationed in Dezhou City anyway.
"Unless it is an indiscriminate shelling, we will have no way to do it. But if we want to carry out an indiscriminate shelling, we can take over Texas City, but you and I may also have to go to the guillotine."
Mu Xianliang said helplessly that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is different from others.
If someone else was a witness, he would never let the 100,000 troops be trapped here, and would definitely launch an indiscriminate shelling on the city of Dezhou. However, His Royal Highness has already passed the words and must not regard human life as a joke, especially the people in the city.
Speaking of this, both of them sighed. In the late Ming Dynasty, they did not care about human life, but under the influence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they gradually understood what life is the most precious.
What's more, these people will be famous in the future. If they make a fuss, they will be a national sinner.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also said at the beginning that there will inevitably be casualties in wars. If it is injured by accident, it can still be forgiven after investigation.
If you know that it will involve a large number of ordinary people, you still have to do it according to the original method, then it may not be an easy task.
The court has its own laws and the army has its own discipline. The verdict will be pronounced as it should be, and Zhu Cilang will never tolerate it.
"Report..."
While the two were talking, soldiers outside the tent rushed over with Changyin. It seemed that there was an emergency military situation. I just received the imperial edict from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This must have not come from the south, but the army in the north had some changes.
"Caughter General, our scouts ten miles north of the city, found that the enemy reinforcements from the capital were all Eight Banners cavalry, with a number of about 20,000 to 30,000."
"Take it again."
Gao Jie waved his hand and the scout below immediately went down.
"You have reported to the general that it has been found that this group of troops is from the capital, with a population of 20,000. The leader is Duoduo, the Prince of Yu of the Qing Dynasty."
After about half an incense stick, the people below have already investigated it clearly. The investigation speed alone is also very good.
"What are you waiting for? Gather immediately, your cavalry will let the artillery support you. If we can't control the army in the city, can't we fight the army outside the city?"
Gao Jie said overjoyedly, "I'm almost sick after a while. No matter whose army you are, as long as you are not in Texas City, we have to tear off a piece of meat from you, otherwise who will this idleness be directed at?"
"Report to General, this matter may be inappropriate. Duoduo's army has now entered Texas City."
Gao Jie was just about to issue an order, but who knew that the officer in charge of the investigation would say that.
Move so fast?
Gao Jie was also a little puzzled. Even if this army is an elite, it would not be so fast. Now it seems that they have already confirmed that they will not stay outside the city. It seems that the Qing Dynasty should have certain actions, but we haven't guessed it yet.
"The people we were in charge of defense in the north of the city didn't stop them?"
Mu Xianliang said unwillingly, if they were blocked outside the city, the offensive mission would definitely be handed over to their cavalry. I would not be able to catch up with the speed of the infantry's movement.
"If we go back to the general, this army is not willing to fight, and they are divided into several groups. Before we can react, they have already rushed into the city. Moreover, our main defense circle is in the south and in many areas in the north, there are just some observation posts."
The scout said with some embarrassment that Gao Jie let the others go down, and Gao Jie didn't have many people under him. If such a big city was surrounded, it would be impossible.
So on the north side of Dezhou City, most of them are observation posts, and it is unlikely that they will stop others. What's more, they are indeed elite and can be obeyed.
