Under the city of Wuchang, the Ming army has never been so powerful for more than ten years.

The Ming army from Huguang, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Fujian and other places had more than 250,000 troops, and they pretended to be 700,000 troops, surrounded Wuchang City and was unable to escape.

Shang Kexi's army was located north of Wuchang City, near Macheng on the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains, but he did not dare to approach Wuchang. He could only watch deep ditches and high towers on the walls.

It can be said that Kong Youde and Shang Kexi have a good relationship. They are both acquaintances in Dongjiang Town. When the Longwu court launched a large army and attacked Wuchang, the two discussed that Kong Youde held the Ming army in the city, while Shang Kexi guarded the food road outside the city and provided support at any time.

Now Kong has virtue and difficulties, and it is reasonable and cannot be ignored. Unfortunately, the Ming army besieged Wuchang was too powerful to send troops to rescue him.

Over the past few months, Kong Youde sent people to break through several times and came to ask for help, begging Shang Kexi to attack the Ming army and relieve the pressure in Wuchang City, but Shang Kexi was unmoved.

This is not because Shang Kexi is not helping him, but because more than 200,000 Ming troops gathered in Wuchang. How many soldiers he sent were coming and going, the ending was that he could not only not only could he share the pressure for Wuchang, but instead lost his own troops.

In Macheng County, Sun Long, a general of the Han army's main red flag, was covered in blood and damaged in the tent of Shang Kexi, who was wearing blue armor, kowtowed and cried bitterly, "The prince, the slave, and the slave, were left, and arrived at the prince's camp. Please save Wuchang because of the Han flag and the friendship with my prince! Prince, save Wuchang!"

Sun Long knocked on the ground with his head, his face covered in blood, which made Shang Kexi and the generals of the Han army's blue flag look like a needle blanket.

Zhenghongqi was surrounded in the city, with ammunition and food exhaustion, and was almost at the point of killing people to eat. However, the Lanqi was watching the show, and everyone felt ashamed.

Kong Youde sent people to break through the siege several times, and each time he sent more than a hundred elite troops, he could break through the siege. Only one person came to the camp, and almost all of them were seriously injured and told about the crisis in Wuchang City.

After all, they are all Han military flags and have deep friendships. Kong Youde asked for help several times, but Shang Kexi did not respond. He felt really sorry and could not refuse the general who cried and kowtowed in front of him.

In the big tent, Sun Long kowtowed and kept asking Shang Kexi to send troops. Shang Zhixin next to him saw that Shang Kexi was in a dilemma, so he went to pull Sun Long. However, Sun Long knelt down and cried in grief, "Doesn't the prince really save King Gongshun and tens of thousands of brothers in Wuchang City?"

Shang Kexi, who was sitting in the commanding position, swelled his cheeks, and suddenly stood up for a while, walked to Sun Long, and actually knelt down, saying sadly: "General Sun, I really can't help you!"

Seeing that Shang Kexi actually knelt down for him, Sun Long knew that he didn't want to send troops, so he could only kowtow constantly, "The prince saves Wuchang, saves Wuchang~"

Shang Kexi said helplessly: "You forced me to force tens of thousands of my brothers to die! Now, the court is in turmoil, and the pseudo-Ming soldiers are in full swing. With my current military strength, if I attack the Ming army and now I will rescue Wuchang, I am afraid that not only will I not be able to lift the siege of Wuchang, but the entire army will also be destroyed, just like feeding a tiger with fresh meat, leaving no return! I might as well preserve my strength and wait for the reinforcements of the court to arrive before avenge the King Gongshun and the soldiers in the city!"

After hearing this, Sun Long felt as if he was depressed. Shang Kexi had already regarded Kong Youde and the Qing army in Wuchang City as dead.

For a moment, Sun Long was extremely angry, but what Shang Kexi said actually made sense.

Shang Kexi was also very anxious when Wuchang was surrounded. He did not move, and it was not because he had not found a solution. In fact, he had sent a quick horse to Beijing to ask for reinforcements and urged the Qing army from Henan, Shandong and Huai River to come to help as soon as possible. When there were more than 100,000 reinforcements on the periphery, he would rescue Wuchang.

Seeing that Shang Kexi had knelt down for him, Sun Long knew that it was impossible to let Shang Kexi send troops, but he could not just go back to Wuchang, so he said sadly and angrily: "If the prince does not send troops, at least give the servants thousands of soldiers, so that the brothers in the city know that the court has not given up on them!"

Shang Kexi stood up and looked at Sun Long who was bleeding from his head. He was all old brothers for many years. It was indeed unreasonable to not send a single soldier.

"I will give you three thousand elite soldiers. If you can break through the obstacles, I will definitely send someone to break in!" Shang Kexi sighed.

Sun Long knew that Shang Kexi had already made concessions, and no matter how much he begged, there would be no more soldiers, so he stood up and saluted on one knee. Regardless of the injuries on his body, he could lead three thousand Qing soldiers and march southward.

In Wuchang City, Kong Youde was indignant and decided to make the monk Kexi, a traitor who was treacherous, broke up with friendship.

Zhenghongqi was besieged in the city for several months and had reached the point of being able to eat people. However, Shang Kexi's army was stationed dozens of miles north of Wuchang and viewed on the wall, which made Kong Youde extremely angry.

At this time, Kong Youde stood at the top of the city and looked outside the city. The Ming army camps spread under the city, densely packed soldiers shuttled through it, and ships shuttled across the river, blocking them tightly, making it difficult for him to fly.

"Have you sent troops to help you?" On the top of the city, Kong Youde held the walls with his hands, his face gloomy.

Sun Yanlin, the general next to him, said in a little despair: "Prince, King Huaishun wants to rescue us, so he has come long ago. Now three teams of troops have been sent to break through for help, but King Huaishun has no news. I am afraid that he is afraid of the Ming army and has given up on us."

Kong Youde's mouth twitched, and he slapped the wall with a palm, and said angrily: "He dares! If I overcome this crisis, I will definitely impeach him!"

As he was talking, the soldiers who were in charge of looking out at the top of the city suddenly exclaimed, "Reinforcements, reinforcements are here!"

After the words came out, the Qing army on the top of the city was shocked. Kong Youde and the Qing soldiers rushed to the edge of the city wall. Looking across the river, they saw thousands of Qing troops rolling up a stream of yellow dust and breaking into the tens of thousands of Ming troops who were waiting for the battle.

Before Kong Youde could have time to be surprised, the Qing army flowed into the sea like a stream. Three thousand people did not even have a big bubble in the vast sea of ​​the Ming army. In less than half an hour, they were killed by the Ming army. Sun Long, the leader of the Qing army, was also killed in the formation by random swords.

Three thousand people were killed by the Ming army. Shang Kexi, who followed him, sighed and pulled his horse back to the camp, completely squandering his intention to rescue Wuchang. From then on, he could only look at Wuchang City and watch the Ming army siege day and night.

On the top of the city, Kong Youde and others also saw this scene. They stood on the city wall full of soldiers, and for a moment they were silent and their hearts were ashamed.

The Ming army besieged the city quickly piled up the bodies of the three thousand Qing troops into mountains to show off their martial arts and count their military achievements.
