Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 236 Liu Fangliang Fights Hua Rong Naked
In Huarong County, more than 7000 Qing soldiers guarded the old county which was not too high.

The biggest advantage of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasty was the speed of coming and going like the wind, and the invincible ability to charge the battle, but at this time, the Eight Banners of Baijiahan, who was trapped in the city, had completely lost these advantages.

If Huarong County is small, there is not much food and grass, and there are not enough equipment to defend the city, Wang Yan should have been easy to take down, but the Ming army has been besieging the city for more than ten days, but he just couldn't take down this small county.

The Qing soldiers in the city slaughtered war horses without food, demolished the houses of the people without equipment, and survived the onslaught of the Ming army for ten days.

At this time, outside the small county town, there were densely packed white military tents of the Ming army. Nearly [-] Ming troops were camped for dozens of miles in the narrow strip between the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake.

In March, when the spring rain is hazy, there is a trace of mud on the ground.

To the west of Huarong City, thousands of Ming troops retreated from the city again, dragging banners and spears.

A general of the Ming army stood in the drizzle, looking at the defeated Ming army, he couldn't help being furious: "Damn it, it failed again."

That general was none other than General Liu Fangliang. A guerrilla retreated from the city and quickly knelt down on one knee, pleading guilty to him, but he kicked him to the ground, "I've let you trash throw away my face."

Outside the tent of the Chinese army, the big flag was wet by the drizzle and no longer fluttered in the wind. The entire Ming army also looked a little lifeless like the flag that couldn't fly.

At this time, a large group of generals in iron armor guarded Wang Yan, stepping on the mud, their armor clattering in the drizzle and walking towards the west city.

Liu Fangliang was reprimanding the defeated Ming army generals, "Look at the armor on your body, look at the saber in your hand, think about the food you eat every day, think about the food you have brought." The Duke of the State provided you with delicious food and drink, but you couldn't even do thousands of desperate thieves, I would really feel ashamed for you~"

In the drizzle, Liu Fangliang walked back and forth in front of hundreds of people with the general flag on their backs, hundreds of households, and thousands of households, yelling curses.

Since the Shun Army was reorganized by Wang Yan, the supplies, money and food were all the same as those of Wang Yan's veterans, but after the reorganization of the Shun Army, they did not make any great achievements. The Battle of Jingzhou was all planned by Wang Yan, and the veterans of the Ming Army were the ones who contributed the most Pawns, they are at most cheering and cheering, and they are just strong.

The Shun army had surrendered to the government several times before, and then rebelled again. Li Zicheng was the reason for this, but the main reason was the contempt for them by the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and the suppression made them rebel.

For a long time, Li Zicheng wanted the Ming Dynasty to make him king, but how could the late emperor's temper agree?So always refuse.

The uprising of the peasant army did not actually have any lofty ideals, it was just to survive and to make their lives better.

Now that Li Zicheng was dead, the Shun Army was discriminated against in the Ming Dynasty. It was not easy to meet Wang Yan, a minister who had no prejudice against them. They were very satisfied with the treatment and position he gave him. Naturally, the leader of the army had to serve Wang Yan.

In the Battle of Jingzhou, the Shun army did not do much, so they prepared to perform well when they encircled and wiped out the Han army's white flag. Yuan Zongdi, Li Guo, Li Laiheng and others called for the battle one after another, but in the end Liu Fangliang patted his chest and promised that they would fight in three days. It was decided to break the city and took over the task of siege, but who would have thought that he would lose thousands of people in ten days, but he never took down Huarong.

At this time, Liu Fangliang was reprimanding these many officers, but suddenly there was a sound of clattering armor plates and the sound of soap boots stepping on the mud behind him. Liu Fangliang turned around quickly, and saw Wang Yan under the protection of more than ten generals, with a frosty expression on his face coming.

Seeing this, Liu Fangliang's heart sank, and he hurried forward to greet him. He was just about to salute, but he heard Wang Yan scold directly: "Liu Fangliang, what are you doing to eat? It's a small county with thousands of remnants and defeated generals. Even if you can't defeat them in ten days, you If it doesn't work, the governor will replace him immediately!"

In ancient times, it was extremely rude to call his name face to face. Liu Fangliang felt ashamed when he heard Wang Yan's words. The Duke punishes him, but the general begs the Duke to give the general another day, and the general will definitely take down Huarong."

Wang Yan looked at Liu Fangliang, but said coldly: "The governor gave you time, but Luck Dehun didn't give Zhang Taipu time, and didn't give Yuezhou City time. Man Dazhuang just sent someone to deliver a letter, east of Yuezhou City, After being bombarded by the cannons in red for many days, Xie Daowu was lucky enough to defend the east city, but Zhang Taifu was shot by the arrow and was seriously injured and unconscious. How can you ask the governor to give you time?"

"Boom~" came from the east, the sound was weak, but it seemed to respond to Wang Yan's words, making Liu Fangliang's face pale.

After Luke Dehun knew that the Zhengbai Banner of the Han army was besieged in Huarong, he knew that Shen Zhixiang and the [-] Eight Banners athletes had no chance of surviving and would only be completely wiped out by Wang Yan.

In this way, since Le Kede entered Chu, he will lose a prince, a duke, and two bannermen. His political future has been completely destroyed, but he can't win a game.

The geographical location of Yuezhou is extremely important. It was the gateway for the Ming army to block the Qing army from invading Hunan from the south. Similarly, if the Qing army conquered Yuezhou, it could also prevent the Ming army from threatening Wuchang. , Luck Dehun is also storming Yuezhou.

He failed to attack the city several times before, and then came up with a strategy. He sent people to confiscate the iron pots and iron utensils from the farms near Yuezhou, and then ordered the blacksmith to melt them into projectiles weighing more than 40 kilograms, and fired them with red cannons to bombard the city walls. , Sure enough, the gravel splashed immediately, making Yuezhou City become critical.

The city could not be attacked for a long time, and Yuezhou was in danger of being breached, which made Wang Yan very angry. Li Guo looked at Wang Yan, then at Liu Fangliang who was kneeling in the mud, and couldn't help frowning. He bowed to Wang Yan and said: "My lord, the old men and thieves in the city know that they have committed a lot of crimes, and they will die if the city is broken. Moreover, they are all bannermen, and their families enjoy special treatment. In order to ensure the status of their families in the Qing Dynasty, they are not afraid. Life and death are indeed difficult to deal with. General Liu has done his best these days, please allow the Duke a day, General Liu will definitely break the city!"

All the generals also saluted and echoed, "I also ask the Duke to give me a day's grace."

Naturally, Wang Yan also knew that the Eight Banners soldiers were difficult to fight. They could not be measured by Man and Han, but a monster created by Nurhachi.

At this time Wang Yan glanced at Li Guo, and was about to agree to come down, but Liu Fangliang, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly took off his helmet, stripped off his armor, and exposed his lean body naked from the upper body, saying: "Master, the last general will attack for a long time." If the city is not down, let Zhang Taifu and Yuezhou be in danger, it is really not good for the general. The general does not dare to ask for another day. The general only asks the Duke of the country to give the general another chance and let the general attack again in person. Once, if you still can't take down the city, the last general will die in battle at the city of Yuezhou."

Wang Yan saw that the rain was falling on Liu Fangliang's scarred body, and he listened to his words. He also took off his helmet and armor, revealing the same scarred body, and said loudly: "Okay~ General Liu is attacking the city. , Ben Du personally beat the drums to cheer for you!"

The generals were shocked when they saw Wang Yan's lean body and the scars on his body.

"咚咚咚~" The majestic drumbeat sounded, and Wang Yan's naked clothes beat the drums, and the morale of the Ming army was suddenly shaken. Liu Fangliang, who was also naked, waved his sword and shouted, "Kill the captives!" Suddenly rushed to the city~
