"I specially promoted the Guanglu Dafu, Shangzhu Kingdom, Duke of Chu, the young master and the prince's young guard, the Minister of War and the Right Deputy Censor, and the seal of the general of the general, and was awarded the rank of general, and was appointed as the ambassador of Korea and Japan, and the imperial envoy of the Liaodong Admiral Zhu Junmen!

Liu Jun admired his ability to sing his official titles. He was able to sing his long list of ranks and ranks of lords without breathing, and he had not missed an official title. ◇↓◇↓Little◇↓

With this long reputation, the generals and schoolmen in the central army tent stood up and saluted Liu Jun.

"Meet the Grandmaster!"

Liu Jun, wearing imperial golden armor and a sword given by the emperor, walked to the upper position and stood firm. Behind him, several young officers were standing, namely the sword-backed officer holding Shangfang sword, the flag-backed officer holding the king's order flag, the arrow-holding officer holding the golden arrow and the general seal of the general of the Conquest.

As a celebrity of the emperor, Liu Jun has four imperially-given emperor Shangfang swords, twelve royal flags, nine golden arrows, and an imperially-given general's golden seal.

Each one represents the supreme trust of the emperor.

The governor, governor, inspector, eunuch, governor, eunuch, military censor, a large number of senior civil servants and internal officials came to Liaodong, but Liu Jun was still the unquestionable actual leader on this acre of three-point land in Liaodong.

With Liu Jun's emperor Shang Fangjian, Wang Zhiqipai and the seal of the general of the general of the conquering the enemy, no one dared to play the role of these civil officials and governors, let alone the Chu army in the three towns was completely led by Liu Jun, and it was completely his confidant, and the needle could not be inserted into the water and could not be penetrated.

Both the governors, Fu Zonglong and Fan Zhiwan, did not have the sword of Shangshu, while Liu Jun each had four.

Liu Jun nodded to the military academies standing in two rows, wearing armor and military robe, and signaled everyone to sit down.

All the generals and officials in the three towns, the civil servants and military officials were unable to attend. Liu Jun did not invite them at all, nor did he want them to come to this meeting to point fingers.

"Report to the Grand Marshal. Gaizhou City has been surrounded by us. Kong Youde's 50,000 rebels were surrounded by me, and he became a turtle in the jar!" Wang Qian, chief of staff of Liaodong Town, reported to Liu Jun.

After receiving the emperor's decree announced by Fu Zonglong and asking Liu Jun to cooperate with the troops in western Liaoning to launch an offensive, Liu Jun did not hesitate or make any discount. He immediately dispatched an army division in each of the two towns and transferred a navy squadron to fight a total of more than 30,000 people. This time, there was no excessive pre-war preparation time, and it was completely unprepared.

The army set out from Jinzhou Port and quickly arrived at the seaside landing site twenty miles south of Gaizhou.

The Chu army landed here a few months ago. It conquered Gaizhou in one fell swoop. At this time, the Chu army came again and walked along the way. In order to be empty and hidden, the Chu army chose to land at dawn.

It was lightly dawn, and two army divisions came to six army associations. A cavalry battalion belonging to each association was concentrated and rushed to the city of Gaizhou first.

At this time, after 50,000 troops led by Kong Youde stayed in southern Liaoning for more than half a year, they had just withdrawn from Jinzhou to Gaizhou. They did not expect that the Chu army, who had been with them for half a year, would suddenly come to the city of Gaizhou. After several barracks outside Gaizhou were raided, they soon fled back to Gaizhou. When Kong Youde received the time, he still couldn't figure out whether these Chu army was just coming to harass or attacking on a large scale.

The follow-up troops of the Chu army arrived very quickly. Kong Youde had not decided whether to fight or withdraw, and most of the Chu army had arrived from the shore.

Kong Youde was hesitant, and the artillery of the Chu army finally arrived in the afternoon.

When more than 30,000 Chu troops surrounded Gaizhou City, it was too late for Kong Youde to retreat.

However, after the Chu army surrounded Gaizhou, it did not immediately launch an attack on the siege. It did not even set up a cannon, but only surrounded the city gates.

Then, the Chu army's engineer battalion began to dig trenches outside the city gate and build earth walls. Kong Youde and others on the top of the city were inexplicably surprised. The Chu army clearly had sharp cannons, so why didn't they attack the city directly?

In the tent of the central army in the Chu camp, Liu Jun was obeying the reports of the generals.

The six associations each guard one city gate, while the other two are responsible for supporting the two.

"Master, when will we launch the general attack?" Zhang Guodong asked.

Liu Jun looked at the sand table in the tent with his hands behind his back. The intelligence collected by the Intelligence Department of the General Staff, and the engineering battalion made a very detailed sand table. With Gaizhou City as the center, the surrounding mountains and rivers and fortresses were all above. Even the information in Gaizhou City was quite detailed, with several gates of the city, how wide the moat, and how many enemy buildings were all clearly made.

It turns out that the city wall that the Chu army destroyed during the last siege of the city has been repaired.

"How many rebels are there in Gaizhou City?" Liu Jun did not call them the Qing army in the city with white black flags, but rebels.

"There are more than 50,000, of which there are about 20,000 soldiers, 20,000 auxiliary soldiers, and more than 10,000 civilians." A young staff officer replied. The more than 50,000 rebels, the war soldiers were mainly the Ming army that surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and many young and strong soldiers recruited from the Han people in Liaodong. The auxiliary soldiers were some militia trained by the Qing army in Liaodong. They cultivated in daily life, trained in their spare time, and followed the army in wartime, and had simple weapons. The civilians were purely the people responsible for transporting food and grass weapons. They were not entirely young and old, and they were basically without combat effectiveness.

"How much food and grass are there in the city?"

Liu Jun asked again.

Since the Chu army did not fight against Kong Youde's rebels after building the Jinzhou Fortress, even if Kong Youde once led his army to the foot of Daheishan Fort in Jinzhou, the Chu army ignored them. Because this kind of well water did not violate the river water, many of Kong Youde's soldiers were a little paralyzed. Even Kong Youde and his men were used to the Chu army ignoring them and living together peacefully.

When the Chu army suddenly appeared, they were not alert immediately. Many soldiers stationed everywhere outside Gaizhou City were attacked and they just retreated into the city, without thinking that they would retreat directly to the north.

"There are a lot of food and grass in Gaizhou City, enough for 50,000 people to use for three months." The staff member replied. Kong Youde and others first recovered Gaizhou, and then dragged it in southern Liaoning for several months without fighting with the Chu army. However, after they recovered Gaizhou, they quickly repaired the city wall, and then used it as a transfer station for grain and grass to transport grain and grass from Liaoyang Haizhou and other places to Gaizhou, and then transferred it to Jinzhou. After they withdrew, Huang Taiji asked Kong Youde to guard Gaizhou, and Kong Youde and others transported a lot of food and grass equipment, so that the food and grass in the city could be used for 50,000 people to use for three months.

"There are a lot of food and grass, and there are also many soldiers." Liu Jun nodded. "And as far as I know, these rebels are very fierce, have a lot of artillery, and have a lot of firearms."

Although their artillery was not as good as the Chu army, and their muskets were also mainly composed of bird guns, their firearm equipment was also the most abundant in the army in this era. Especially in the years of Kong Youde and others, they also owned a large number of elite cavalry in Liaodong.

"How many cavalry do they have?"

"There are about three thousand cavalry under the four rebel generals."

"A lot of these cavalry are their own servants, and many of them retreated from Dongjiang to Dengzhou and later rebelled from Dengzhou to Liaodong."

The situation was obvious. The troops led by Kong Youde and other four rebel generals were of a large number and equipped. They had a lot of guns and cannons, an elite cavalry, especially guarding a big city, and sufficient food and grass.

Such enemies were never before. Since they entered Liao, they have only one or two thousand Qing troops to deal with each time, and there have never been one or two thousand people at a time.

With the artillery of the Ming army, it is not difficult to break through the Gaizhou city wall, but breaking through the city wall does not mean victory.

After breaking the city wall, there were tens of thousands of enemy troops inside. Moreover, these were all rebels led by rebel generals, and the backbone of them were the official troops who defected during the Dengzhou Rebellion. Because of the rebellion that year, it was impossible for those people to become clear about the truth, and they would resist as tenaciously as the Tartars.

Liu Jun doesn't want to fight street battles with rebels like tens of thousands.

A head-on battle has always been something that Liu Jun tried his best to avoid. If he had to do so, he would never fight like that with the enemy if he was in the Lanniu Gully.

"We siege the city!" Liu Jun said. "Just like the Tatars surrounded Dalinghe City back then, we also did the same thing, surrounded Gaizhou, dug trenches and built walls outside the city, and surrounded them."

"Siege?" Many Chu generals were greatly surprised by Liu Jun's decision.

"But the rebels have three months of food."

"We won't last that long." Liu Jun smiled, "The siege is besieged, but it's not just the siege."

For a new army with a large number of artillery and firearms, the tactics will of course be appropriately changed. Digging trenches and repairing walls is to surround the enemy, limit the enemy, and prevent them from breaking through.

Of course, this is not enough. As the generals said, the rebels had enough food and grass and city walls, and it was not enough to surround them alone.

"We need to teach the rebels and let them know what a real new army is. It is not to equip some cannons and some muskets, which is called a new army. A real new firearm unit must not only have enough firearms, but also have relatively supporting tactics."

On the city of Gaizhou.

Kong Youde was watching the Chu army dig a trench under their noses.

After digging the first trench, the Chu army was already digging the second trench, and between the two trenches, a chest wall was built with the digging soil.

"Liu Jiye actually wants to play a siege with us? Digging trenches and building walls. Isn't this the one we used to surround Zu Dashou in Daling River back then?" Geng Zhongming stood aside and said, "He is sure we have no reinforcements?"

"Let them dig, we have three months of food and grass, and save some more, and we can hold on for four or five months. After such a long time, the emperor will send someone to save us."

Kong Youde was not as optimistic as them. Liu Jun was abnormal and no longer bombarded the city with cannons, but instead sieged the city. This was by no means simple. He stared at the lively scene outside the city, frowned.

Well, what are those?

"Get the Qianli Miles Miles!" Kong Youde waved. The servants gave the Qianli Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Mi
