The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 959 Surrounding Gao Yingxiang

The ancient capital of Xi'an has high walls and thick walls, and sufficient food and grass. There are no less than 50 rogues and ordinary people, of whom no less than 15 are young and middle-aged people who can participate in the defense of the city.

After many confirmations, Gao Yingxiang and more than half of the bones of the big thieves were surrounded. Sun Chuanting and Chen Qiyu, the two civil servants who had suppressed bandits for many years, were inexplicably excited.

The past is vivid, how could they be willing to beat the snake again?
I have besieged bandits many times before, but unfortunately they all fell short in the end. The main reason is that the civil servants and generals of the Ming Dynasty had their own ghosts, and the soldiers cherished their lives and money and refused to fight hard.

Now that there is a united "Red Banner Army", great things can be achieved!

When Sun Chuanting and Chen Qiyu deployed the siege, they resolutely refused to adopt the method of encircling the three groups, because they wanted to meet the plan of this battle to completely wipe out the active forces of the rogues, and did not want them to escape into the mountains to increase the difficulty of the encirclement and suppression.

They believed in the fighting power of the "Red Banner Army" and believed that these heroic soldiers could turn the encirclement into an impregnable wall. If the rogues dared to come and fight their lives, there would only be one result-death!

However, seizing Xi'an cannot replicate the model of burning Shenyang, killing 50 million Han Chinese in one fire. Even if more than half of these people are rogues or the children of rogues, Huang Han can't do this.

A long-term siege is also not acceptable, because when there is a shortage of food, the people must be the first to starve to death, and the old battalion of the rogues will definitely persist until the end.

Qin Liangyu only knew that the "King of Han" had completed Ping Liao, but did not know the details of the "Red Banner Army" capturing Shenyang. Due to the heavy killings, the "Red Flag Daily" report on the offensive and defensive battle of Shenyang was also vague.

After the old lady met Hanzi, who was already a marquis, she specially set up a banquet for Hanzi, Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu and other civil servants and generals to drink, and asked about the whole story of the Ping-Liao War.

The civil servants and military generals who have experienced the Ping-Liao War are willing to talk about the war that lasted more than a year while drinking, especially the idiot who has not been absent from almost every war.

Hanzi respects Mrs. Qin from the bottom of his heart, and has always regarded himself as a junior. Of course, he knows everything. He not only talked about the shock of the 10,000+ cavalry duel, but also talked about the tragic scene of Shenyang being turned into scorched earth after the fire.

Hanzi told Qin Liangyu and the generals of the white-armed soldiers very sincerely that if Xi'an was captured by the way of capturing Shenyang, there would definitely be no one in the city with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians.

Therefore, the "King of Han" issued an order to attack the city from the bottom to attack the heart, and to take propaganda offensives to disintegrate the military morale of the rogues as much as possible, and to win the surrender of the rogues is the main task next.

Qin Liangyu listened with gusto, and the image of Iron Horse Glacier appeared in his mind, and he seemed to hear the sound of shouting and killing one after another.

She learned that the "Red Banner Army" could kill all the rogues in Xi'an city at their fingertips, but they gave up the simplest and most effective way of burning the city because of their good intentions, and she greatly appreciated it.

During this period of time, the old lady was full of doubts and realized the disobedience of the "King of Han". She wanted to calm down the bandits as soon as possible and go to Beijing to see the situation, and was ready to be loyal to Emperor Chongzhen.

In Qin Liangyu's mind, righteousness is greater than family affection, and she will definitely meet the "King of Han" who dares to usurp the throne.

It's just that she doesn't know that time has passed, and she only represents herself. Maybe even her own son Ma Xianglin can't command, and the possibility of commanding thousands of troops to fight the "Red Banner Army" is zero.

The "King of Han" deliberately gave money and food to win over the white-armed soldiers. It has been going on for several years. Sichuan people value affection and loyalty. Now the "Red Flag Army" and the white-armed soldiers are like a family.

How many foolish and loyal people were there in the last Ming Dynasty like Qin Liangyu?Most of the generals in central Sichuan will analyze the pros and cons. If the son-in-law "King of Han" of the Sichuan people is the emperor, how can the Sichuan people suffer?

What's more, the kindness of the "King of Han" has benefited the entire land of central Sichuan in the past few years, bringing food and clothing to thousands of hungry people.
Ma Xianglin once fought Jiannu in the bloody battle at Hunhe, not only lost an eye, but also lost thousands of elite white-armed soldiers, so he didn't know Jiannu's combat effectiveness.

Listening to Hanzi's account of the cavalry decisive battle, I can feel how powerful Jiannu's fighting power should be in order to survive.

However, the knights of the "Red Banner Army" did not back down. They dared to fight and managed to win the battle. In the past, the "Red Banner Army" broke the myth that "Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand, and they are invincible". joke.

Thinking about fighting with the "Red Banner Army" during this period of time, the white-armed soldiers should be one of the strongest troops in Ming Dynasty, but the gap between them and the "Red Banner Army" is huge.

The vast majority of the "Red Banner Army" in the mainland are Type B battalions. Even so, Ma Xianglin can "clearly see" the gap, let alone Type A battalions and cavalry battalions outside the customs?

The combat effectiveness and discipline of the "Red Banner Army" are obvious to all generals in Shu, and no one fantasizes about defeating the "Red Banner Army" and turning against the "King of Han".

Instead, they look forward to the fact that when the "King of Han" sits in the country and divides power, they will be able to get the moon first.

Although Qin Liangyu has a lot of money because of Huang Han's care these years, the banquets arranged by her, who has always been frugal, are not extravagant. She did not use the high-end wine "Yangchun Bai", and even the mid-range wine "General Triumph" was only used. Wait at the end.

Although the wine is common and the dishes are common, it does not affect the friendship between the two armies at all. Many generals in Shuzhong took advantage of the wine to toast to the generals of the "Red Banner Army", generally expressing a meaning.

In the future, we will work together, and we hope to support you a lot!

Qin Yuyi, Zhang Fengyi, Qin Rong, Ma Lanhua, Ma Yuefeng and a group of female generals accompanied Qin Liangyu, deliberately covering up the drunken gaffes of the generals, and did not want Qin Liangyu to be stimulated.

Ma Xianglin, Qin Gongming, Qin Yiming, Ma Xianghe and other white-armed generals were full of pride. They opened their hearts and drank, and they all vowed to make great achievements in the next offensive and defensive battle of Xi'an to welcome the arrival of the new dynasty.

The city of Xi'an is heavily fortified, and Gao Yingxiang, who refuses to admit defeat, is still talking and laughing freely when he is trapped in the siege. He is planning a beautiful defensive counterattack.

However, the rogues discovered that the Ming army besieging Xi'an was also in the deep ditch barrier, and it was obvious that the opponent was planning to trap them to death.

The rogues did not wait for the Ming army to attack, but saw hundreds of bright red hot air balloons soaring into the sky, and the heroic "flying army" floated towards the ancient city of Xi'an in the good wind.

There was an uproar in the city of Xi'an, and the rogues were all dumbfounded. Li Yan, Xing Hongniang, Gao Yigong, Liu Zhe and other big leaders saw the "Red Flag Army" go up to the sky for the first time, and Leng Keke stared at the sky. The hot air balloon is in a daze.

Fortunately, the "flying army" did not throw Molotov cocktails this time, but fliers with pictures and texts. Otherwise, those stupid people on the ground might turn into roast ducks.

The content of the leaflet is concise and clear, and its purpose is to tell everyone in Xi'an that the "Red Banner Army" treats the prisoners preferentially.

This psychological battle cannot be accomplished overnight, and it will always take a while. In order to reduce the casualties of both sides, we can only talk slowly with the rogues.

The propaganda team interrogated the rogues who surrendered, obtained a lot of information about the rogues in Xi'an, and found some family members of the rogues outside the city.

In the following days, outside Xi'an, there were often miserable voices of mothers calling their sons to go home, wives crying hoarsely calling for their husbands, children crying for their fathers...
