The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

It was late at night, but the meeting hall of Fuzhou Governor's Mansion was still brightly lit.

No one can sleep at this time, because since the afternoon, the sound of gunfire from the direction of Min'an has been heard intermittently until now, but they have received too little news.

So far, they only know that Xun Ha, the deputy general of Min'an, led 2000 cavalry out of the city to face the 3000 Ming army infantry.

According to common sense, there should be no surprises when 2000 cavalry fight 3000 infantry.

However, since the Ming army reappeared, which battle can be explained by common sense?

In Taiwan, Xiamen, and Haicheng, both the Ming army's advancement speed and the Ming army's combat effectiveness have greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

Now, no one can guarantee that there will be no more accidents.

So, if nothing else, the accident happened.

A soldier rushed into the meeting hall and reported:

"Report! General, I report to all my lords, Min'an has come to report that Vice General Xun Ha was killed in battle! All two battalions of cavalry were wiped out! The Ming army has now launched an attack on Min'an City. The Ming army has sharp weapons and Min'an City is in danger!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, and they no longer knew how to speak.

Although the destruction of the 2000 Cavalry was difficult for them to accept, it seemed reasonable.

But Min'an City is indeed in danger.

Min'an City did not have a tall city wall like Fuzhou City for protection. How could Min'an, which only had a low stone wall as a barrier, block the Ming army's attack.

Just when everyone was still debating whether to send more troops to Min'an, another soldier ran in.

"General, sir, sirs, the sentinels have come to report that large groups of Ming troops have appeared in the south and southwest of Fuzhou. The Ming troops are fully equipped with infantry and cavalry. They are all equipped with muskets and carry a large number of artillery! It is expected that they will arrive tomorrow morning. The troops are approaching Fuzhou City."

……

Ming army troops appeared from multiple directions at the same time, causing Fuzhou City to panic.

At this time, no one cares about Min'an's life or death. After all, they are almost in trouble now.

In addition, in view of the disastrous defeat of the cavalry in the Min'an direction, Hu Qiyuan immediately ordered the Eight Banners cavalry and Green Camp cavalry stationed outside the city to withdraw into the city.

However, his order directly dissatisfied the Eight Banners men who claimed to be the best in the world in cavalry and shooting.

So early the next morning, the ginseng leaders of the four banners stationed in Fuzhou, Xianghuang, Zhengbai, Xiangbai, and Zhenglan, found Hu Qiyuan together.

"General! We, the Qing Dynasty, conquered this world by relying on cavalry and archery. Now that the cavalry is contained in the city, it is tantamount to abolishing our martial arts!

I think we should immediately gather our troops and go out of the city to fight the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, so that those mice from the Ming Dynasty who appear out of nowhere can review the power of our Eight Banners Iron Cavalry! "

Dade, the ginseng leader with the yellow flag, stood in front of the other three ginseng leaders, looking at the fatter Hu Qiyuan and said with a dissatisfied expression.

Dade was from the Xianghuang Banner and belonged to the top three of the Eight Banners. It was also the highest status among the Eight Banners. He looked down upon Hu Qiyuan who was born in the Xianglan Banner.

What's more, Hu Qiyuan also changed his surname to Han, which in his eyes was simply an act of forgetting his ancestors.

Now Hu Qiyuan ordered all the flags to shrink into the turtle shell of Fuzhou City, which made Da De unable to bear it anymore.

Hu Qiyuan looked at the four idiots with strong limbs and simple minds in front of him with ugly expressions.

Do you think the Eight Banners today is still the Eight Banners decades ago?

The third chaos has not been awakened by firearms?

Isn’t the lesson learned from the annihilation of the Green Battalion Cavalry in Min’an City enough?

"The Ming army has sharp weapons. Going out to fight rashly will only cost the lives of my Eight Banners brothers. Xun Ha, the deputy general of Min'an, just looked down on the Ming army and ended up with the whole army wiped out. Do you still want to make the same mistake again?" he said.

"Hmph! How can those useless green cavalry in Xunha compare with my Eight Banners cavalry? My Eight Banners cavalry's combat prowess is unparalleled in the world! As long as the general lets me lead the troops out of the city for a battle, I will definitely be able to easily defeat the Ming army commander Xiang Shang! "

Da De responded nonchalantly.

Although the other three staff leaders did not speak, the expressions on their faces could tell that they were thinking the same thing as Dade.

Hu Qiyuan looked at these ignorant guys in front of him and didn't bother to talk nonsense with them anymore.

"Dade, all banners and troops, no one is allowed to leave the city without my general's permission!" he said forcefully.

After hearing Hu Qiyuan's order, several people looked gloomy.

Especially Dade, he raised his head and glanced at Hu Qiyuan, his face so gloomy that he almost shed tears.

But he finally nodded and accepted the order, but the twinkling eyes before leaving could tell that he didn't want to let it go.

At ten o'clock in the morning, a group of Qing troops fled back from the east gate of Fuzhou. These people were the original Min'an defenders.

However, of the more than 5000 people in Min'an, there are now only more than 100 soldiers who have lost their armor and lost their armor.

Following closely behind them was the First Division of the Ming Royal Army, which already had two brigades.

At the same time, large groups of Ming troops appeared in several directions except the north of Fuzhou City.

For a time, Fuzhou felt like it was facing a formidable enemy.

……

"Dade, do we really want to do this? We go out of the city to fight without permission. If the general reports to the court, I'm afraid we will all be accused!"

In the Eight Banners military camp, Zhengbai Banner chief Etuhun said hesitantly.

Of course, Etuhun was just worried about Hu Qiyuan's revenge in the future. He was still very confident about going out to fight and defeat the Ming army.

"Hmph! That guy named Hu has forgotten the Eight Banners blood flowing in his blood after enjoying a few days of happiness. Look at his appearance now, he can hardly wear armor!"

"Don't worry about him. After this battle, we will jointly report to the emperor to impeach Hu Qiyuan. It's unclear whether he can keep his position as general by then!"

"Now you must gather your own troops and horses immediately, and then call the Han soldiers and cavalry from the green camp. This time we will let those remnants of the Ming Dynasty see the power of our Eight Banners cavalry, and let that loser Hu Qiyuan have a good look. Our Eight Banners’ reputation for winning the world for riding and shooting is by no means empty talk!”

Da De said looking at the people in front of him.

This time, the three Eight Banners ginseng leaders did not raise any questions and nodded in agreement.

Just when several Eight Banners generals were plotting to go out of the city to fight and restore the Eight Banners' former glory, Hu Qiyuan was already leading a group of people up the city wall in his ill-fitting brocade armor.

"General, the troops are here to report that Ming troops have appeared outside the four walls of Fuzhou City."

Hu Qiyuan looked at the black line on the horizon outside the city and nodded.

Generally speaking, there are no more than two situations in sieges in the past dynasties.

One is that the siege party surrounds all the city gates and completely surrounds the city; the other is to surround three and leave one gate vacant.

The former's intention is obvious, which is to completely annihilate the defenders of the city.

Moreover, when choosing this method, the attacker often has absolute confidence in his own strength.

Another type of attack is to surround three and one is missing. The ultimate goal of this attack method is to completely annihilate the enemy's troops.

As the saying goes, 36 strategies are the best.

When the attackers surrounded the city gates on three sides, the vacant city gate became a retreat route for the defenders in the city.

In this way, it also virtually eliminates the opponent's determination and fighting spirit to resist.

Everyone is afraid of death. Since you can't beat him, you can choose to run away.

At this time, the attacker can set up an ambush halfway through the opponent's escape, and ultimately achieve the same goal of total annihilation.

This tactic costs less than encircling the enemy on all sides. Of course, it is also possible for the enemy to break out of the encirclement.

However, in siege battles of all dynasties, this tactic is still used the most.

However, these Ming troops came up and surrounded Fuzhou City instead of choosing the more practical strategy of surrounding three and missing one. Hu Qiyuan did not think that the Ming generals were brainless.

The generals of the Ming army who were able to easily capture Taiwan, Xiamen, and Haicheng could not be without brains!

Then there is only one possibility left.

The Ming army was extremely confident and did not intend to let any of them go!

Thinking of this, Hu Qiyuan's brows knitted together tightly.

"General Hu, why are there no Eight Banners soldiers?"

At this time, Zhang Zhongju, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, who was also wearing a military uniform on the city wall, looked around and said doubtfully.

"Ok?"

Hu Qiyuan's face turned dark when he heard Zhang Zhongju's words. Although he did not send all the Eight Banners soldiers to the city wall, he also arranged 2000 Eight Banners veteran soldiers on each section of the city wall to supervise the battle. How could he do that? No one?

"Go, go, go..."

"Boom boom boom..."

At this moment, the rumble of horse hooves came from the main street connecting the city gate in the distance. Hu Qiyuan heard the sound and turned around to look.

I saw countless well-equipped Manqing cavalry running toward the city gate under the leadership of Da De.

Hu Qiyuan's face changed drastically!

"Quick, send someone immediately to tell the city gate soldiers that they are not allowed to open the city gate for Dad!"

However, Hu Qiyuan's current position was far away from the city gate, and the rumble of horse hooves even covered up the sound of soldiers passing orders to each other.

Moreover, Dade had already anticipated Hu Qiyuan's reaction. Therefore, the Qing troops guarding the city gate had already been replaced by Dade's own people.

As a result, Hu Qiyuan could only watch as thousands of Eight Banners cavalry and a large group of Green Camp cavalry rushed out of the city.

He even saw Dade, who was wearing yellow brocade armor, stopping to look in his direction after rushing out of the city gate.

Hu Qiyuan couldn't clearly see the other person's expression due to the distance, but he knew without even thinking that the expression on Da De's face at this time was definitely ridicule.

"Extremely stupid! Extremely stupid! A bunch of idiots with stupid minds! At the end of this battle, I will personally chop off the heads of these idiots!"

Hu Qiyuan stood on the city wall and pointed in the direction of Da De and cursed.

The purple face and exaggerated movements were enough to show that he was in an extremely unattractive mood at the moment.

However, it is too late to say anything now.
