Chapter 27 The revenge of killing the father
Among Gao Jie's remaining troops, Li Benshen is the oldest and strongest, so Duoduo did not want to let the tiger go back to the mountain. If Boluo hadn't lost too badly in Hangzhou, he really didn't want to release Li Benshen, the real tiger.
Now that Li Benshen is also returning to the mountain, he said without hesitation: "Then Prince Yu asks us to eat shit, and we will do what he wants? We really want to attack the city, and then Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping are rushing from behind. What should we do? Even the Eight Banners Powers of Bolobeile are defeated by Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping!"
Previously, Li Benshen, Guo Hu, and Yang Chengzu took Liu Yongxi and Mrs. Xing very lightly.
However, Boluo was defeated in the Battle of Qianjiang and had to retreat to Hangzhou. To this extent, it was definitely the Eight Banners Army. The Mongolian soldiers of the outer vassals could not suppress the scene. It is said that the Eight Banners under Boluo were almost killed or injured. Now they can only rely on Zu Dabi and others to surrender to the scene in the future.
Although these rumors may not be credible, since the Eight Banners Powers have all been defeated, the new affiliated troops who have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty for only a few months can do nothing. The best situation is to fight for both sides. However, for these warlords, the situation of both sides being injured is even more uncomfortable than death!
So they had a completely different evaluation of Liu Yongxi, Mrs. Xing and Xing Shengping from before, and even felt a sense of fear of war and difficulty, and always felt that Liu Yongxi might come out from behind at any time.
After all, Liu Yongxi has established an invincible heroic reputation this year. Now even Boluo Beile's 40,000 troops are his defeated generals. Li Benshen, Guo Hu, Yang Chengzu and others must be careful: "This time, the army led by Duke Yue and Xing Shengping is said to have 50,000 people. Even if there is no 50,000, there will always be 30,000, right? Who can stop Duke Yue from attacking with all his strength?"
When Gao Jie's army was in full swing, it was only 30,000 troops of 9,000 mules and horses. When he thought of the situation where Gao Jie's army launched with all its might, Guo Hu's face turned blue: "It's still Brother Benshen who is considerate and wins before he wants to defeat. Huama and Liu are all a group of waste, so we have to set up the camp first!"
Although Liu Yongxi is still a hundred miles away, everyone suspects that he suddenly came to his back in the blink of an eye. When Liu Liangzuo was defeated in Linhuai Town, he didn't expect that Liu Yongxi would suddenly come to the scene by water and land. Now these Qing generals think that Liu Yongxi is ambushing behind him and is always back-stinging, and has no interest in siege.
But in this way, no one will continue to implement Prince Yu's siege order. Guo Hu whispered: "Who will attack the city?"
Li Benshen had long thought about how to deal with Duoduo and these Manchu powerful men: "The Eight Banners Powers are invincible in the world, so they will naturally solve the problem of such a strong city as Huzhou!"
Guo Hu knew that Duoduo would vomit blood when he knew this situation. After all, according to convention, the Eight Banners Power Brigade was only used on the most critical occasions. This occasion should have been filled in by the new affiliated army, but now even "tiger generals" such as Li Benshen, Yang Chengzu, and Guo Hu are afraid of the enemy like tigers, so the siege of the city can only be entrusted to Duoduo's Eight Banners Power Brigade.
Although this arrangement does not conform to the convention, Guo Hu knew that Duoduo urgently needed them to deal with Liu Yongxi now, so he could naturally be confident: "In fact, there is no need to be such a trouble. As long as the red-clothed cannon is pulled up and a few cannons can be solved. There is no strong city in the world that cannot be broken by red-clothed cannons!"
But for Duoduo and the Qing army commanders, this was an ending that they could not accept.
They originally thought that they could use their military strength to break through Huzhou City, but no one expected that the new generals of the army were all afraid of the enemy and were busy setting up camps to guard their camps. They had no enthusiasm for siege. Even if they were under tremendous pressure, they sent 180 people to try the attack, and they retreated after a little setback.
Moreover, these generals also said with confidence: "When the red-clothed cannon comes up and hits a few cannons, let alone one Zhang Boyi, even ten Zhang Boyi can easily solve it!"
This is not a situation that Duoduo wants to happen. Although Duoduo also knows that as long as the red-clothed cannon is pulled up, not to mention a city of Huzhou, even the most solid city can still be blown away. However, the red-clothed cannon has always been slow and it will take at least three or five days or even more to arrive. It will take another day or two to set up an artillery position.
However, the Duke of Yue Liu Yongxi's troops were getting closer and closer, and they had already advanced fifty or sixty miles away. Maybe the red-clothed cannons had not been set up yet, and the cavalry team led by Liu Yongxi had already reached their feet, so the concerns of these Han generals were more or less reasonable.
But the problem is that if we do not break through Huzhou City, the main force of the Qing army led by Duoduo is at risk of being attacked from both sides and being attacked from the front and back. When Duoduo thought of this, he became more alert. He asked Li Lutai on the side: "It seems that we must take action against the Jinhua thieves!"
Li Shutai is the son of Fushun prince-in-law Li Yongfang. Although he also has the blood of Han people, he is actually a Manchu. He is determined to consider the Qing Dynasty: "Prince, this southern expedition is only so many Eight Banners soldiers and the outer vassal Mongolia. These Han people are unreliable. If the Eight Banners soldiers lose too much, there may be any changes!"
Duoduo also had the same concern, but as the commander of the entire army, he could not shake the morale of the army: "The ones who are going to block the Jinhua thieves are Xu Er'an and Liu Liangzuo. Others can't stand it. They have an irreconcilable hatred with Liu Yongxi, so they can always withstand it!"
Xu Er'an and Xu Erji brothers were sons of Xu Dingguo and had a grudge against Liu Yongxi to kill their father. It was because of such an irreconcilable hatred that Duoduo specially cultivated the two brothers during this period, not only allowed them to surrender and rebel, but also handed over many soldiers and brave soldiers to them for enlistment, so their strength suddenly expanded.
However, Duoduo felt that Xu Er'an and Xu Erji brothers were not enough to deal with the tens of thousands of Jinhua thieves led by Duke Liu Yongxi of Yue, so he specially sent Liu Liangzuo, who was also irreconcilable with Liu Yongxi and the irreconcilable enemy.
No matter how bad Liu Liangzuo is, he is at least one of the four towns in Jiangbei. He joined forces with the Xu Er'an and Xu Erji brothers. Even if he cannot fight with the Jinhua thieves, he can at least block the way forward of the Jinhua thieves. It can be said that "one move will decline again, and then it will be exhausted three times". At that time, it will be an excellent fighter opportunity for the Eight Banners to take action.
Li Lutai also felt that the combination of the Xu brothers and Liu Liangzuo was enough, but he thought about it and said: "It is best to draw the two Han troops from Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde to push the formation of the Xu brothers and Liu Liangzuo!"
