Outside Luoyang City, there were corpses and blood, and Duoduo looked at the city wall ahead with red eyes.

Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and others all had bitter expressions on their faces. Five days passed and whenever they were about to capture the city, the soldiers of the Dashun Army began to resist desperately. They seemed not afraid of death and went to the city wall one after another, and were fearless in the bombing of the red cannons.

The losses of the Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner soldiers under Duoduo were not very big. However, the Han army under Kong Youde and others suffered heavy losses, with nearly 3,000 casualties. However, in comparison, the losses of the Dashun Army were even heavier. The red cannons on the city wall completely lost their offensive ability. The Dashun Army soldiers who defended the city wall were at least nearly 10,000.

According to this situation, it is only a matter of time before it can be won.

However, Duoduo did not dare to relax the rhythm of the attack. You should know that he did not carry a lot of food and grass, and it could last for about a month at most. If Li Zicheng and Dashun Army were given a chance to breathe, once the army's food and grass were exhausted, Duoduo would have to lead the army to retreat, and all the attacks ahead would be wasted.

Good news came from Taiyuan Prefecture City. A day ago, Duoduo received a document sent by Ajige to send a scout. The document stated that Ajige would soon capture Taiyuan Prefecture City, and Li Guo, Chen Yongfu and others could not escape. Once Ajige completely captured Taiyuan Prefecture City, he would lead troops to Luoyang to assist Duoduo in attacking Luoyang Prefecture City.

According to time calculations, Duoduo determined that Ajige had captured Taiyuan Prefecture City, but it would take some time to completely wipe out the Dashun army under Li Guo and Chen Yongfu.

Duoduo didn't want Ajige to assist him in attacking Luoyang Prefecture City. No matter what, the more than 20,000 people he led were the most powerful combat power, mainly the bravest Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner among the Eight Banners Army. If these soldiers were led, they would not be able to capture Luoyang Prefecture City, and they would also get Ajige's assistance. Duoduo felt that his face was lost.

Of course, attacking the city is not as simple as saying it, not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands of troops under Li Zicheng in Luoyang City.

The power of the red cannons was at its peak. The south gate of Luoyang Prefecture City had been blown open. Unfortunately, the Dashun army had already blocked the corridor with stones. The army could not charge in the city gate. Several gaps were also blasted out by the Dashun army soldiers. Duoduo once asked Kong Youde and others to bomb the city wall continuously, causing two red cannons to explode.

The remaining nearly ten red cannons have been resting for two days, and time is enough.

The sky gradually darkened, and Duoduo slashed his feet hard.

"Tomorrow, we will launch an attack on the South Gate. We must take it down this time, so you can remember it."

Kong Youde and others nodded repeatedly. They had followed Duoduo many times and had never seen Duoduo get so angry. The attack lasted only five days, which was not very long. Sometimes the battle to attack the city may last for more than a month, not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands of Dashun Army soldiers under Li Zicheng in Luoyang City.

Duoduo's attitude should be related to the rumors three days ago. I don't know where it came from. It said that the five thousand soldiers of Zhenghong Banner stationed in Jingzhou were wiped out, and the commander Haoge and deputy commander Ye Chen were not spared. Wu Sangui, who had already surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, completely rebelled. After the victory, the Ming army was unreasonable and marched towards Cangzhou. It is very likely to launch an attack on the capital. Duoduo did not confirm the authenticity of the rumors, but since then the army's attack on Luoyang has become more fierce.

When he returned to the Central Army tent, seeing that Duoduo had no other arrangements, Kong Youde and others tactfully said goodbye.

Duoduo's face was gloomy and he sat upright in the central army tent.

Duoduo did not suspect that the rumors were fake, nor did he have the intention to pursue the source of the rumors. You should know that such rumors have had a huge blow to the Eight Banners Army. The Eight Banners Army has been rising for decades and has never suffered such heavy losses.

The reason why the attack on Luoyang Prefecture City was even at the cost of the price was that Duoduo keenly realized that if he could not quickly conquer Luoyang Prefecture City, there would be no chance for a long time.

The Eight Banners Army stationed in Jingzhou and Anling Town were all annihilated, and a huge gap appeared in the southeast of the capital. The Ming army could quickly launch an attack on the capital. The more than 10,000 soldiers stationed in the capital could not resist. At that time, Duoduo and Ajige were forced to evacuate to the capital, and it was necessary to protect the capital.

The five thousand Zhenghong Banner soldiers stationed in Jingzhou were wiped out, which made Duoduo puzzled. Although it was incompatible with Haoge, Duoduo did not doubt Haoge's combat capabilities at all. Among the bravest generals of the Qing Dynasty, Haoge, not to mention the meticulous Ye Chen's assistance, it was logical that the five thousand Zhenghong Banner soldiers could not be wiped out.

Duoduo also believed that Wu Sangui's rebellion was likely to lead to the failure of Haoge and Ye Chen, but it would never be wiped out, including Haoge and Ye Chen, who died.

Why did Wu Sangui rebel so quickly? Duoduo thought this might be the negligence of the court, or that this was a mistake made by his second brother Dorgon. He shouldn't have sent Wu Sangui to Anling Town to station.

Like Dorgon, Duoduo strengthened the monitoring of Kong Youde and others to prevent abnormalities in the Han army. On the other hand, Duoduo also began to re-analyze the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. If there were too many accidental factors in the Battle of Wuqiao, it was very likely that Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu underestimated the enemy. The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Jingzhou would be unreasonable. Duoduo had seen the combat effectiveness of the Han army under Wu Sangui. With the combat effectiveness of these Han troops, it was impossible to wipe out all five thousand soldiers of the Zhenghong Banner, including 95 white-armored soldiers.

Regarding the rumors that appeared in the army, Duoduo took a ignorant attitude, and this effect was very good. In just three days, the rumors in the army almost disappeared, and no one deliberately paid attention to the situation in Jingzhou.

Duoduo wanted to write a letter to his second brother Dorgon to inquire about the situation of the battle in Jingzhou, but in the end he gave up. If the Ming army really had an attempt to attack the capital, the court would have had an imperial edict.

After sighing a long sigh, Duoduo stood up and prepared to go to the camp outside to check out. He will launch another general attack on Luoyang Prefecture City tomorrow. Many soldiers must rest and maintain their energy.

The messenger hurried into the central army tent and knelt on his knees.

"Report to the Grand Marshal, someone has come to the capital. He said there is an important situation and he needs to meet the Grand Marshal."

Duoduo's body shivered slightly.

"I understand, please come to the Central Army tent."

Duoduo sat upright again, with a expressionless face and looked towards the door.

"I pay homage to His Highness Prince Yu..."

Duoduo couldn't help but stand up with a surprised look on his face.

"Tan Tai, get up quickly, why are you here? Did your second brother send you to report the news of the Battle of Jingzhou?"

Tan Tai also had a shocked expression on his face. After standing up, he looked at Duoduo.

"Your Highness Prince Yu, do you also know the news about the Battle of Jingzhou? Who delivered the news?"

Duoduo waved at Tan Tai and spoke in a hurry.

"It doesn't matter who conveys the message. Let's talk about the reason why you came to Luoyang."

Tan Tai nodded and clasped his fists at Duoduo again.

"In the battle of Jingzhou, the commander Haoge and deputy commander Ye Chen died in a conspiracy with the Ming army. The five thousand Zhenghong Banner soldiers stationed in Jingzhou were wiped out. Wu Sangui rebelled against the court. The Ming army was heading towards Cangzhou. It is very likely to launch an attack on the capital. The Regent has made a decision and ask His Highness Yu to withdraw his troops immediately and return to the capital. The Huye will meet with Li Zicheng on behalf of the court. As long as Li Zicheng does not become an enemy of our Eight Banners Army, no matter what conditions he proposes, he can temporarily agree."

Duoduo smiled coldly.

"Tan Tai, if I didn't expect the mistake, will my elder brother Ajige also be ordered to withdraw from the capital?"

Tan Tai nodded without hesitation.

"What Your Highness said is that Prince Wuying will also lead the army back to the capital immediately."

After a heavy snorkeling, Duoduo spoke.

"Can you not completely defeat Li Zicheng, and you still hope that Li Zicheng can surrender to the court? My second brother wouldn't think about it carefully. Wu Sangui surrendered to the court. What was the ending? The rebellion at a critical moment caused significant losses to the Qing Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Duoduo looked at Tan Tai.

"Tan Tai, did the Ming army occupy the city of Cangzhou when you set out from the capital?"

Tan Tai shook his head.

"When Beizhi set out from the capital, he did not hear that the Ming army occupied the city of Cangzhou."

Duoduo snorted again and stood up.

"I understand, Tan Tai, if you are willing to stay here, the army will launch an attack on Luoyang Prefecture City tomorrow and will definitely be able to completely capture Luoyang Prefecture City. At that time, I will definitely kill Li Zicheng and destroy the Dashun Army. If I cannot capture Luoyang Prefecture City tomorrow, I will withdraw my troops and return to the capital immediately. Tan Tai, you will do the next thing."

Tan Tai was a little anxious and hurriedly bowed to Duoduo with fists.

"Your Highness can't do it. The combat deployment of the court has been fully adjusted. After your Highness and Prince Wuying return to the capital, they will immediately repair it. When the army stationed in Shenyang arrives in the capital, they will launch a full attack on the Ming army..."

Before Tan Tai finished speaking, Duoduo snorted heavily.

"Tan Tai, you don't have to talk too much. I know. If you can't completely defeat Li Zicheng, why should the court let Li Zicheng surrender? Could it be that Li Zicheng proposed the conditions to be emperor? The court should agree to it. Go south to destroy the Ming Dynasty court. Even if the second brother doesn't say this, we understand that the battle to attack Luoyang Prefecture City tomorrow will not stop."

"You have been traveling a long distance and it's a bit hard, so go and rest."
