Dorgon's fifteenth brother was named Aixinjueluo Duoduo. He was extremely famous in history and was one of the eight iron-hatted kings who founded the Qing Dynasty. This shows his importance in the Qing army.
This person is guarding Liaoyang, because Liaoyang is backed by Gaiping, Fuzhou, Ninghai and Dingliao Right Guards. Therefore, the garrison of Liaoyang City is 50,000.
Moreover, because it is close to the sea, there are many dangers of bandits. Therefore, the people guarding Gaiping and Fuzhou are mostly generals who surrendered from the Ming Dynasty.
It can be said that once Liaoyang is attacked, there will probably be hundreds of thousands of people to support it. As long as Duduo is prepared, nothing will happen.
However, Dorgon would never have imagined that Lin Fan would even take this into consideration. If those people dared to come, Lin Fan would buy them off with a lot of money.
In Liaoyang City, Duduo saw Dorgon's letter, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Hmph! Jierhalang is really old. He was guarding Guangning City and was attacked."
Duduo was very disdainful of Jierhalang.
However, in less than two days, his city of Liaoyang was surrounded by a hundred thousand troops, which made Duduo feel a little scared.
"Hiss! When did the Ming Dynasty have such an army?
You can actually send 100,000 people to attack my city of Liaoyang. Is it possible that there are no troops to guard the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty?"
Duduo said in shock.
He knew the situation of the Ming Dynasty best. Li Zicheng's army of one million people almost captured the Ming Dynasty. Even if they counterattacked successfully, they defeated Li Zicheng's army.
In a short period of time, it is impossible to incorporate all of Li Zicheng's old troops into his own forces. These 100,000 people are elites no matter what. This may be the entire elite force of the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, if I annihilate all these people here, wouldn't all the military strength within the Ming Dynasty become those recruited rebels?
Is such a person still capable of fighting?
"Haha! Okay! It's a good idea for these people to come! Go quickly and send the order to the people from Gaiping, Fuzhou, Ninghai, and Dingliao Youwei. We are going to annihilate them all!"
Dodo, who had figured it all out, laughed and said.
The soldiers hurriedly went to convey the order. The generals of Xuanjia Army brought siege equipment and had already begun to attack the city. It must be said that the 50,000 people in Duduo were much more experienced than the 20,000 people in Guangning.
When the Xuanjia Army attacked the city, they encountered great resistance. They attacked for three hours but still failed to scale the city wall.
According to Lin Fan's instructions, if it cannot be attacked by force, it will be repaired, and then an attack will be carried out every two hours to fight a war of attrition with the people in the city.
Anyway, they have enough food and grass to spend it with the people in the city, but Duduo can't afford it, so he must find reinforcements, or Dorgon comes to reinforce them.
The army began to reorganize. Duduo thought it was because of insufficient military support, and he was even more happy in his heart, thinking that the person leading the army was just a fool.
Within two hours, the people he sent out to deliver the order came back. The garrison generals from Gaiping, Fuzhou and Ninghai all refused to come to support them on the grounds that they wanted to be on guard against bandits.
After all, they all took Lin Fan's money. Moreover, Lin Fan first pacified Jinzhou City and then captured Guangning City. They also saw Lin Fan's strength.
As surrendered generals, they were not reused by Jiannu, so why should they go against Lin Fan now? If they were defeated by Lin Fan, they would definitely die!
But if he doesn't intervene at this time, Lin Fanping will establish the slaves. Considering the overall situation, it is naturally best to recruit them, so that they can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth.
"What! These people didn't come to support! How brave they are!"
Duduo said in shock.
"Your Majesty, according to the information we received, these people seem to have taken advantage of the Ming Army. Some people saw with their own eyes that the Ming Army sent people to send gold, silver and jewelry!"
The man reported it.
"Damn it! Won't there be no money tomorrow?
Where does the money come from to give these people!”
Duduo said in shock.
If none of these people come to support, then we can only place our hopes on the Dingliao Right Guards. The one stationed there is Hauge, who has 50,000 elites in his hands!
As Duduo expected, after receiving the request for help, Haug immediately came to support with his army. Fifty thousand people entered the city, and 100,000 people gathered in the city!
There were 100,000 people inside and 100,000 people outside, and they began to fight a protracted battle. For three consecutive days, the Xuanjia Army attacked the city every two hours.
Hauge and others could only defend passively, and there was not much food and grass in the city. Hauge said angrily: "Duduo, why don't you go out of the city to attack?
We have equal strength, what are you afraid of?"
"Hauge, don't rush this. I always feel like there's something fishy. The enemy troops outside attack the city every two hours and seem to be waiting for us to leave the city!"
"What if they still ambush us after we leave the city?"
Duduo said in a deep voice.
Hauge said: "If you are worried about an ambush, you can let my fifty thousand people go out of the city to meet the enemy first. You observe first. If there is no one to ambush, you can go out to kill the enemy!"
"This... is still inappropriate. Wait a minute. The daily consumption of food and grass for these 100,000 people is a huge figure. With these Ming troops coming all the way, I don't believe they still have enough food and grass."
Duduo said in a deep voice.
Hauge is impatient, but Duduo has a calm personality and insists on observing for two more days, while the Xuanjia Army and Jinyiwei outside still attack every two hours.
After testing each other like this, on the fourth day, Duduo finally made the decision to go out of the city and fight to the death with the Xuanjia Army.
In Guangning City, Lin Fan waited for four days, but there was still no news of Dorgon's actions, so he knew that he had made some miscalculations.
"There must be a lot of defenders in Liaoyang City. Otherwise, Dorgon would have already led troops to support us. Judging from this, our military strength is not enough!"
Lin Fan said to himself.
Looking at it this way, I just brought the Xuanjia Army here, and I still underestimated the enemy. Such a stalemate would not be of much benefit to me.
"Sir, why don't you call in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"
Zhu Cijiong said in a deep voice.
He also wanted to see the eliteness of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but Lin Fan still shook his head regarding the transfer of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
If the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were to come, there would probably be another disturbance within the Ming Dynasty. After all, the internal forces in the Ming Dynasty were complicated and complicated, and without the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to control them, things could easily go wrong.
"Ignore the thought of transferring the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry for the time being. If you take the people now, go gather all the miners from Guangning, Jinzhou, and Ningyuan. You should be able to gather 20,000 to 30,000 people."
"The miners are generally very fierce. After the slaves occupied this place, they must have been oppressed. If you gather them at this time, you can form a certain fighting strength in a short time."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
When Qi Jiguang fought against the Japanese, he also recruited a large number of miners in the Cengang area before driving out the pirates.
