    In Gaizhou city.

    Hu Dinggui asked: "How much food and grass are left?"

    "More than a month." The quartermaster replied.

    Hu Dinggui said: "The soldiers and civilians all reduce their meals. When the food is eaten, the livestock are killed, and the livestock are eaten and the horses are killed. Except for the cattle, the rest can be eaten."

    The quartermaster suggested: "You can kill some livestock first, so that you can save fodder."

    "Very well, follow your idea." Hu Dinggui said.

    Although Gaizhou City hoarded the most grain and grass, the nearby farmers all withdrew into the city, and he had to feed the people with grain.

    It has been almost a month, and the Manchu Qing artillery is still attacking the city.

    Fortunately, the Tartars have no real heavy artillery!

    If Zhao Han blasted down Shangqiu's heavy artillery and fired a few at random, the city walls of Gaizhou would probably have collapsed.

    Ten miles south of the city.

    Lu Xiangsheng led the Xiao cavalry to attack, slashed and killed the soldiers who were destroying the crops, and then trembled with the Manchu cavalry.  The two sides suffered casualties and retreated to their camps.

    The wheat for several miles around the camps of both sides was harvested by the peasants.

    The Manchus also harvested a lot of wheat, and Lu Xiangsheng couldn't stop it.  But if the Manchus went forward to collect grain, he would attack resolutely, and no one would touch the wheat in the two or three miles between the two sides!

    Dorgon also came out on a horse, looking at Lu Xiangsheng who was gradually retreating, he was already very anxious.

    Man Qing's consistent tactics against the Ming army no longer work!

    He couldn't cut off the Datong Army's retreat, nor could he cut off the Datong Army's food road.  Because the Datong army camped by the sea, there were trenches and earthen walls, and food could be continuously transported from the sea.

    Back at the barracks, Nurhachi¡¯s seventh son, Abatai, said: ¡°Prince Regent, withdraw the troops. These southern barbarians are obviously going to consume our military rations. If we keep dragging on, whoever runs out of military rations first will definitely lose the battle. I  I heard that the south of the Yangtze River is rich and has a lot of food, and we have more food than the barbarians in the South."

    "Wait a little longer, the enemy must have revealed its weakness." Dorgon said boldly.

    The leaders of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties for three consecutive generations were very gambling.

    It can even be said that Manchu Qing was able to become bigger because of repeated bets.  Because of many battles, only on the surface data, the Man Qing had no possibility of winning.

    At critical moments, the Daming Frontier Army can always make trouble.

    In this way, another half month passed, and on the 40th day after the Manchu Qing bombarded Gaizhou City, the navy returned from North Korea with a grain transport fleet.

    The king of North Korea cried out that there was no food, and the navy soldiers were unambiguous, and directly bombarded the forts on Ganghwa Island.

    Continuously shelled for three days, and then sent troops to land.

    After the Datong Navy occupied the fort, the defenders on the island surrendered directly.  Not only occupied Ganghwa Island, but also "rescued" dozens of political prisoners who had been exiled to the island.

    These political prisoners have clans and ministers, and they can completely reorganize the imperial court.

    The North Korean monarchs and ministers were so frightened that they immediately ordered the search of the people.  The people did not have enough food, so they "borrowed food" from small and medium-sized landlords, forcing them to sell their stored food to the Datong army.

    Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "We have enough food, and we are not afraid of exhausting the Tartars. Why don't we send a part of the army to transport the cavalry to the rear of the Tartars by sea."

    "Good idea!" Xiao Zongxian clapped his hands in praise.

    Li Zheng made a decision: "2500 dragoons, 2500 Xiao cavalry, and some Liaodong guides."

    Liaohe Estuary.

    The location of the Daliao River in the Ming Dynasty was completely different from that of hundreds of years later.

    Five thousand cavalrymen landed at the mouth of Liaohe River. Li Dingguo, who was promoted, was thrown by Zhao Han to Liaodong for training.  In this attack around the rear, Li Dingguo commanded 2,500 Xiao cavalry, and Wang Tingchen commanded 2,500 dragoons.

    When the nearby fishermen saw the fleet coming, they didn't know what was going on, they just fled back home and hid.

    Li Dingguo led his troops to the east of the Sancha River, and Wang Tingchen led his troops to the west of the Sancha River.  When they saw the houses, they rushed in and ordered the coastal people to move out with their families. They were not allowed to bring any extra things except food and bedding.

    However, anyone who resists will be executed immediately!

    In half a day, only thousands of civilians were captured. This damn place is really sparsely populated.

    "General, to the northeast is Yaozhou City built by the Tartars!" said the local guide in Liaodong.

    Li Dingguo said with a smile: "Then go to Yaozhou to have fun!"

    Two thousand and five hundred Xiaoqi rode straight to Yaozhou, and encountered a manor on the way, which seemed to be quite densely populated.

    Manors of this scale were at least owned by the middle-class nobles of the Qing Dynasty.  They appointed the coating to take care of it. If we use the farm of Daming as an analogy, coating is equivalent to the management of domestic slaves.?? Burned, killed and looted in coastal areas.

    Snatch all the way, almost to Jinzhou!

    South of Gaizhou City.

    When Dorgon received the report from the fast horse, he fell silent for a while.

    This kind of thing has been encountered before.  Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town once took advantage of the Manchu Qing troops to burn, kill and loot the hinterland of the Manchu Qing from behind.

    At that time, Huang Taiji was disgusted, but there was no way to deal with it.  Those small sampans of the Manchu Qing would never even try to break into Phi Island, as they would not be able to carry them at sea.

    Dorgon also wanted to send troops to plunder, but the farmers in Gaizhou had already withdrawn, leaving only the wheat that was too late to harvest.

    Now, don't harvest the wheat, no one wants to harvest it.

    Because of the stalemate for more than forty days, the harvest time has long passed, and the mature wheat has germinated on the ground.

    Do you want to go back and boil maltose?

    ?Because of the Manchu Qing's actions, 60% of the wheat in Gaizhou could not be harvested, and the farmers' hard work for half a year was in vain.

    Anyway, they hurt each other. The Datong army went to grab the population of the Manchus, and the Manchus made Gaizhou 60% of the wheat grains without harvest.

    Just when Dorgon was about to withdraw his troops

    "Boom!"

    With a loud noise, the city wall of Gaizhou collapsed.

    Dorgon drew his sword and shouted: "Siege the city with all your strength!"

    Hu Dinggui calmly ordered: "All the dragoons are turned into firecrackers, rattan players and pikemen, and block the gap for me. Farmers, soldiers, common people, old and weak, women and children all go into battle! ?
