September 22nd, Wanli 47th year, Shenyang.
Not long after the construction of the construction materials on both sides of Yangma City (1) (2) was removed, the remaining holes for pole insertion in the city wall were hastily sealed by craftsmen with large amounts of mud.
Dense and irregular deer feet (3) are arranged around Yangma City. Yangma City, the main city covered with rammed earth and bricks, and the hard towers outside the city wall (4) jointly build a solid fortification on the periphery of Shenyang.
Liaodong's economic strategy was inspired by General Xuanwu. During his stay in the capital, he threatened to be dismissed from office (5). After hard work and hard work, he successfully obtained 800,000 taels from Wanli's internal funds and returned to Liaodong.
For three months, Xiong Jinglue worked tirelessly, personally supervising the soldiers to build chariots and firearms, dredging the trenches, strengthening the city walls, and establishing a long-term defense plan in Liaodong.
Some generals stationed in Liaoshen did not support Xiong Tingbi.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty, which often defaulted on food and salary arrears, Houjin was more attractive to these people.
After Li Rubai committed suicide due to fear of crime, the insects in Liao Town were leaderless.
After some consideration, the imperial court ordered Li Ruzhen, the commander of Jinyiwei, to take over the position of Liaodong Commander-in-Chief.
Li Ruzhen is even more miserable than his brother Li Rubai.
In the original history, Li Ruzhen led the troops in Shenyang and watched the fall of Kaiyuan Tieling, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were massacred by the Hou Jin soldiers.
After Xiong Tingbi visited Liaodong, he dismissed Li Ruzhen from office for extremely unbearable crimes. During the Tianqi period, Li Ruzhen was imprisoned and sentenced to death.
In the fourth year of Chongzhen, the young emperor realized the power of Liao Town and had to sentence Li Ruzhen to avoid death and be sent to the army, which was equivalent to an acquittal.
Liu Zhaosun's time travel changed history. Kaiyuan Tieling was not captured by Hou Jin, and Li Ruzhen continued to be his commander-in-chief.
Due to the rise of Kaiyuan, the conflict between Liao Town and the imperial court became more intense, which accelerated the process of some Liao Town generals defecting to Hou Jin.
Under the influence of Liu Zhaosun, Xiong Tingbi completely lost trust in Liao Zhen.
Of the 800,000 yuan brought back this time, Mr. Jinglue only gave 100,000 taels to Liao Town, and the rest was used for the construction of fortifications.
By doing this, Xiong Manzi broke the rules of Liao Town. Under the operation of Li Ruzhen, Ding Bi and others, countless officials and censors rose up to impeach Xiong Tingbi.
In the incident, Yao Zong wrote in his article that "the Liao Dynasty was becoming more and more difficult" because Xiong Tingbi "wasted the efforts of the group and became the only one with wisdom", attacking Xiong Tingbi for being stubborn and self-indulgent.
Wei Yingjia and the censor Zhang Zhifa impeached him for "being away from seclusion for several months without any plan". He had great ambitions and little talent, and only knew how to use "the sword of Shang Fang to achieve his ambition and power". They also said that Xiong Tingbi was suspected of embezzling money from Liao Dynasty.
Feng Sanyuan, the censor, was even more powerful. He listed Xiong Tingbi as "eight people who have no plan and three people who deceive the emperor." Indiscriminate killing of Liao Town in Liaodong, "using killing as a prestige" has caused people in Liaodong to become disloyal. Now that "the affairs of Liaodong have been ruined, they want to take off their burdens and leave." There is no king and no ministers. Feng Sanyuan suggested that this traitor and traitor should be arrested Punish the guilty and serve as a warning to others.
Among the many officials, only Yang Lian had a more compromise view on the matter. He believed that Xiong Tingbi had made mixed achievements in Liaodong in the past few months. He pointed out:
"Those who discuss the strategy (Xiong Tingbi) will never be able to erase his achievements, and those who pity the strategy will never be able to cover up his fault." (6)
For more than three months, Xiong Tingbi had to go to court every few days to defend himself and to scold officials and censors.
Nurhachi's army was pressing down on the territory, and Liao Town was idle, and the official censor stabbed him in the back.
Even the residents of Liao and Shen cities looked happy when they heard that the slave bandits were coming, as if they were welcoming Master Wang back. (7)
The city of Shenyang is full of spies who are constantly being killed.
Troubled internally and externally, Xiong Tingbi was already exhausted mentally and physically.
If it hadn't been for the emperor's kindness and full support, and if it hadn't been for the real celebrity who was still struggling in Kaiyuan, Xiong Tingbi would have been unable to persevere.
He who is both talented and civilized and has no talent left behind will be punished if he achieves great feats!
On September 26, Nurhachi led an army of 120,000 soldiers southward.
The city of Shenyang was in chaos. In addition to the Mongols and Jurchens, countless Jurchens from the Liao Dynasty gathered together in private to discuss secretly how to assist the Great Khan in capturing this fortified city.
Liaodong manager Xiong Tingbi led the Baigan soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers, as well as the few Liao soldiers and civilians in the city, who were still making the final struggle for this piece of Han territory.
~~~~
When Yuan Chonghuan and his party from Kaiyuan Bingbei Road arrived in Shenyang, Bagala, the forward of Jiannu Zhenghong Banner, had already approached eighty miles north of the city.
White-poled soldier scouts wearing rattan armor and iron armor outside the cane helmets ran back and forth on the Shenyang official road, constantly relaying military information from the front back to the Sichuan army camp.
Thousands of white-pole soldiers backed Shenyang Yangma City and built three lines of defense outside: trenches, horse camps, and land parcels.
The chieftain soldiers also laid firewood in the trench, poured tung oil on it, and laid out caltrops dipped in horse dung around the horses.
Yuan Chonghuan took a cursory glance. He didn't know the names of some of the fortifications, but he felt that the white pole soldiers' defense line was quite strong. If Jiannu wanted to break through, he would have to pay a heavy price.
Thanks to Liu Zhaosun's hard work in Kaiyuan in the past few months, the Baigan soldiers who aided Liao were stronger than before in history and arrived in Shenyang earlier. Therefore, they could build fortifications calmly and no longer had to rush into battle as in history. , as soon as the war started, it was besieged by the Hou Jin army who occupied the advantageous location.
Yuan Chonghuan did not dare to delay, and before he could get close to the white pole soldiers, he pulled a dozen empty carriages and hurriedly entered Shenyang City.
"Haha! A strong army with strong horses and strong troops is really the form of a strong army. If we are even closer, we will be able to catch up with our Kaiyuan troops."
Qiao Yiqi looked at the layers of fortifications, and his thoughts flew back to the Battle of Kaiyuan. He was as still as a mountain and guarded the north gate. He secretly prayed that when he arrived in Shenyang today, his mouth could be as still as a mountain and not to leak to Mr. Liu. The secret of the soldiers.
The three of them led the guards to the city gate bridge and were stopped by the chieftain soldier holding a white-stemmed gun.
A tall chieftain soldier repeatedly checked Yuan Chonghuan's documents and found that Yuan Chonghuan's accent was strange. They checked the carriage and asked the general for instructions. The general came over and looked at the three people with complicated expressions. Fortunately, Qin Jianxun knew these white-pole soldiers, and it took a long time before they were allowed to enter the city.
"Zhou Yafu can only manage the army like this!"
Yuan Chonghuan sighed.
The flat bridge between the moat and the city wall was replaced by a pallet bridge. It was a bit wobbly when walking on it. Finally, I walked to the other side, walked through the city gate corridor, walked through the urn city, and finally entered the main city.
Look around.
On the East and West Streets of Shenyang, there were groups of soldiers and horses from Liao Town, and an endless stream of grain carriages.
Looking at this fortified city that determines the fate of countless people, Yuan Chonghuan felt infinite emotion in his heart. Thinking of the heavy responsibility he had shouldered during his trip to Shenyang, he turned back and shouted to Qiao Yiqi and Qin Jianxun:
"Let's go, you need food and wages!"
~~~~~~
September 29
The low-pitched conch floated over various places in northern Liaoning.
Viewed from the sky, thousands of small black dots slowly move south along the path, like black streams, and finally merge into a vast wave of soldiers at Fushun Pass. A Hou Jin forward with tens of thousands of people gathered at Fushun Pass. , demonstrating to Ming Dynasty their ability to conquer mountains and rivers.
Inside the Fushun Pass, countless Eight Banners flags were flying.
A Houjinhan flag measuring six feet tall was erected on the field in front of the Dunbao.
There are more than ten armchairs in the front hall, with Houjin Khan sitting at the top, and the leader of the Eight Banners, Prince Horqin and Han ministers sitting below.
Nurhachi, who was sitting in the middle of the table, looked down at the ground with a calm expression. In front of him, kneeling was a middle-aged Han-looking man.
"Great Khan, here are the details of Shenyang City's troop deployment, as well as the defense maps of the Baigan Soldiers and Zhejiang Soldiers. Please take a look at them."
The Han man raised a stack of account books above his head with both hands, not daring to raise his head, and said respectfully.
Mang Gurtai, who was sitting at the bottom, moved his body and reached out to touch the rat tail on the back of his head.
Nurhachi knew that except Huang Taiji and Jierhalang, everyone else was illiterate, so he said to the man:
"read."
"Yes, Khan."
The man agreed, flipped through the account book skillfully, and read it loudly in front of the Great Golden Khan and the leader of the Eight Banners, the Mongolian and Han ministers.
"In the east of Shenyang City, there are currently 7,500 Zhejiang soldiers stationed, including 5,000 combat soldiers, 1,500 auxiliary soldiers, 200 artillerymen, and more than 800 mounted infantry. The combat soldiers are equipped with spears, muskets, and palladiums. , wolf mill, heavy sword, round shield, long card, artillery equipment includes tiger squat cannon, general cannon, destroyer..."
"It's similar to Kaiyuan Bing, find something different!"
Mang Gurtai waved his hand to interrupt the man, looking disapproving. Several Belles around him looked at the Zhenglan Banner owner displeased. Nurhachi glared at Mang Gurtai and said slowly:
"Keep reading."
The man quickly agreed, nodded to Mang Gurtai behind him, and continued:
"In the north of Shenyang City, there are 5,000 white-armed soldiers stationed, including 3,000 combat soldiers, 1,500 auxiliary troops, and 500 cavalry. They have no artillery. The combat soldiers are equipped with white-armed guns, short crossbows, heavy knives, and rattan armor. "
"In the east of Shenyang City, there are one unit of Zhao Zhilun and one unit of Ding Bi in Liao Town stationed..."
Nurhachi raised his hand gently, and the man stopped immediately.
"These are our own people, don't read them. Show me the defense map of the white pole soldiers."
A rather detailed defense map was laid out on the table. Hou Jin Khan held a magnifying glass in his left hand and pointed on the map with his right hand. Ask the Han people next to you from time to time.
"Is this a trench they dug? Are bamboo sticks or caltrops buried at the bottom of the trench?"
"Back to the Great Khan, Nikan put tung oil, firewood, and gunpowder in the trench."
Nurhachi frowned and looked elsewhere.
The few Baylors below began to discuss, talking loudly about the defense of the white pole soldiers, and exchanging each other's opinions.
Even nine-year-old Dorgon, who was standing behind the seat, joined in.
Among the several Baylors, except for Ji'erharang and Azig, everyone else had fought against the Baigan soldiers. The last time Xianglan Banner was almost wiped out in the north of Kaiyuan City, it was the Baigan soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers who did it.
Everyone knows that these two southern barbarian soldiers are difficult to deal with.
In the end, these eight banner owners with rich combat experience unanimously concluded that if they attack the white pole soldiers' position head-on, at least thousands of warriors in the flag will lose their lives, not including the coating.
Nurhachi checked the defense of Zhejiang soldiers in the east of the city again, his face became more and more ugly. He was silent for a long time, and finally waved his hand to interrupt everyone's discussion, and looked up at a Han minister sitting in the corner:
"Li Fufu."
"Great Khan, my servant is here."
Fushun's consort Li Yongfang quickly agreed and looked up at his father-in-law, who was only two years older than him, with a downcast look on his face.
"Send people to find the generals of the Baigan soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers and tell them that I will set up the Eight Han Banners. If they are willing to surrender to me, Dajin, they will be the leaders of the Eight Han Banners. Their men and horses will not change, and the soldiers' food and pay will be doubled. In addition, every day The general will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver, good land and a beautiful house, and he can also marry the daughter of Zhu Beile."
Before Nurhachi could finish his words, everyone around him had expressions of astonishment on their faces.
Since the Great Khan raised his army, there has never been such a reward to the Han people. Even Li Yongfang, who was the first to surrender, only rewarded him as a Fushun consort.
Li Yongfang looked embarrassed after hearing this. He hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to say:
"Great Khan, I think this is inappropriate. Sichuan and Zhejiang are all guest soldiers. Unlike Liao Town, they can be bribed. The property of the Ming guest soldiers and their families are all in the pass. They are actually the hostages of the imperial court. If these soldiers are not desperate, I am afraid they will not... ···”
Nurhachi nodded slightly, stood up and walked to Li Yongfang, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"I have been in Liaodong for a long time and have no knowledge of internal affairs. When I was General Longhu of the Ming Dynasty, I often went to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. I had many contacts with Generals Jizhen and Xuan, and I was familiar with the enemy. At present, the Ming Dynasty has been in arrears with food and wages for a long time. Well, these guest soldiers only want more money. Have you forgotten? The last time we were in Saarhu, before I raised troops to attack Dusong, among the Ming army, there were guest soldiers from Xuanda and Huguang who took the initiative. submission."
Nurhachi looked up at the golden dragon banner flying outside, smiled slightly and said:
"I am kind and have a love for talents. I cannot bear to kill the world's heroes. If I can take down Liaochen without a single blow, that would be the best. By the way, please send a few loyal slaves to visit Qi Jin and the others with money. Xiao uses his interests to tell the generals of Sichuan and Zhejiang what the people want, and the fate of destiny lies with me, not with the Ming Dynasty. Let them not use the mantis as a chariot and lose it in vain. If this matter can be successful, it can add two strong armies to my big gold."
"But the Great Khan, the Sichuan and Zhejiang soldiers are no better than that..."
Li Yongfang wanted to continue talking, but when he looked up and saw Mang Gurtai glaring at him fiercely, Li Yongfang was startled and had to swallow the words when they reached his lips.
The leader of the Zhenglan Banner has never had a good impression of the Fushun Prince Consort. He knew that Li Yongfang was the reason behind Amin's dethronement last time. After this incident, Mang Gurtai hated the Han Nikan even more.
Houjin Khan didn't notice the change in the expressions between the two of them. He sat back on his seat, looked around at the Baylors, suddenly remembered something, and asked.
"How is Liu Zhaosun doing now?"
Jierhalang, the leader of the Xianglan Banner who had been responsible for sentinel detection in Kaiyuan, quickly stepped forward and reported to the Great Khan.
"Great Khan, a few days ago, the Nanmanzi closed all the mines, pulled the miners back to the city, and harvested the rice. They were afraid that we would rob them, and even set fire to hundreds of acres. The slaves sent Ba Ya from Niangniang Mountain to come back. The report said that Liu Zhaosun had cut down all the trees around Kaiyuan, and only entrance and exit were allowed at each gate in Kaiyuan. Liu Zhaosun may be really afraid that we will beat him this time."
As Jirharang spoke, he carefully observed the change of expression on the Great Khan's face. He had just been promoted to the leader of the Blue Banner. Although he had won several battles, he did not have a deep foundation in the Eight Banners because he was not Nurhachi's biological Baylor.
Seeing that Nurhaci's expression was dull, he continued:
"Kaiyuan made a detailed return. In July, Buyangu's younger brother Burhanggu led hundreds of Yehe cavalry to rob Horqin and Manggus's granddaughter and took refuge in Kaiyuan. Liu Zhaosun took in this Yehe army. People. In August, more than a dozen small Mongolian tribes ran to Kaiyuan, and Hu Duntu (Lin Dan Khan) also sent people there."
"oh?"
Nurhachi frowned slightly, and Huang Taiji, who was sitting below, leaned forward slightly, his expression suddenly becoming solemn.
"Then what?"
"Don't worry, Khan. Hu Duntu sent an envoy to Kaiyuan and wanted to make an alliance with Liu Zhaosun, but Liu Zhaosun refused. He didn't believe that Hu Duntu had 400,000 troops, and he refused to send troops to help them."
"In addition, according to reports from Shenyang, there is only enough food and grass in Kaiyuan City to last for half a month, and the number of troops in the city is less than 3,000, including temporarily recruited Liao civilians. The city is short of firearms, has run out of gunpowder, and the armor is also in a state of incomplete condition."
"Is the news reliable?"
"Hui Khan, absolutely reliable! It was said by Qiao Yiqi, the supervisor of Kaiyuan Army, and heard by people in Liao Town. A few days ago, Liu Zhaosun sent Qiao Yiqi to Shenyang to ask for money and food, and asked the Baigan soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers to give them per head. Kaiyuan soldiers were rewarded. The slave thought that the number of people would only be more, not less."
Nurhachi nodded slightly while listening, but Huang Taiji, who was sitting below, looked solemn.
After Jierhalang finished speaking, Huang Taiji looked up at his father. They thought they were going to discuss how to deal with Liu Zhaosun next, but they saw Dahan touching his nose and pointing to the man kneeling on the ground:
"Tell me, the leader of the Xianglan Banner just said that Kaiyuan sent envoys to Shenyang to ask for food. Your information should be more accurate. Who were they? What did they say?"
The man quickly replied:
"Back in the Great Khan, Liu Zhaosun sent Kaiyuan soldiers to prepare the road. His name was Yuan Chonghuan. There was a Qian General of the Sichuan soldiers, whose name I don't know. There was also a supervisor, the one Liu Beile mentioned just now, Qiao Yiqi."
"Qiao Yiqi?"
Nurhachi recalled it and felt that this person was very familiar. He couldn't remember where he had heard it before.
Daishan added next to him.
"Father Khan is the brother-in-command of Jiang Hongli, the commander-in-chief of North Korea on the East Route, when he was in Sarhu this spring. He is the supervisor of the North Korean army. It is this person who informed the North Koreans of Liu Wei's military situation."
Nurhachi nodded.
Next to him, Mang Gurtai said angrily:
"If Liu Zhaosun hadn't appeared halfway, the Ming army wouldn't have allowed so many people to escape in the Hunjiang River! They would have all been wiped out!"
Nurhaci glanced at the hot-tempered Baylor, turned around and asked the big Baylor Daishan:
"I remembered that at that time, it was Da Beile who contacted the North Korean commander to discuss the peace talks between Dajin and North Korea. Where did Commander Jiang go? How come there has been no news about him for so long?"
Daishan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said harshly:
"I'm afraid I'll be killed by Liu Zhaosun! Poor this North Korean civil servant, he has a deep friendship with me, Dajin, eh!"
Jierhalang followed angrily and said:
"This Liu Zhaosun is really abominable. In Kaiyuan, he killed many good people who were loyal to Dajin and forced them to go mining. This murderer will definitely be punished in the future!"
Nurhachi smiled slightly, touched his nose, and motioned to the Han man on the ground to continue.
"Great Khan, when Yuan Chonghuan entered the city, he asked Chen Ce (the commander of the white pole soldiers) for food and money. He said that he would have to fill his twelve carriages before leaving. He said that the Sichuan soldiers were the richest. He knew it all in Guangxi, and later he Fighting with Sichuan soldiers."
"Qiao Yiqi found Xiong Tingbi, and in front of several Zhejiang generals, he pulled out his Shangfang sword and said that Liu Zhaosun owed him thirteen thousand taels of silver. Kaiyuan City owed him wages for several months, and all the wages and silver issued by the emperor were in Shenyang. , why not give it to them? There are three thousand soldiers in Kaiyuan City, and each of them will be paid ten taels of silver, so Xiong Tingbi has to give him a total of 43,000 taels. Xiong Tingbi was very annoyed when he heard this and said he had no money. Qiao Yiqi said it didn't matter. It can be offset by the military pay of the Zhejiang soldiers. He also said that the Zhejiang soldiers are very rich. When he chatted with Qi Jin, Qi Jin said that the Zhejiang soldiers had sufficient food and salary, and they had tens of thousands of taels of silver a year... Two Zhejiang soldiers were here When I heard it outside, I rushed in and slashed Qiao Yiqi with a knife."
Huang Taiji asked hurriedly:
"Have you hacked to death?!"
The man swallowed his saliva and saw all the Baylors staring at him, so he quickly continued:
"Go back to the master, before Yuan Chonghuan and the others came, the Sichuan and Zhejiang soldiers were still making a fuss about Xiong Tingbi's intention to march out of Yin. When they saw Liu Zhaosun's attitude, both sides stopped making trouble. They said that they would kill Yuan Chonghuan and Qiao Yiqi first, and then defeat us, Daijin. Then they went to Kaiyuan to kill Liu Zhaosun. Later, a deputy commander named Qin Minping desperately interceded for the two of them. Xiong Tingbi asked the white-poled soldiers to beat the two of them with thirty army sticks. I heard that Yuan Chonghuan's legs were broken, and finally they were driven out overnight. Out of Shenyang."
Jilharang laughed.
"Hahaha! Well done! The best thing is to kill him! Liu Zhaosun is such a talented killer today! He must be at the end of his rope and unable to support himself, so he dared to go to Shenyang to ask for food from the guest soldiers."
He laughed a few times and stopped quickly when he found no one around him.
Dai Shan looked at the new flag owner of the Xianglan Flag coldly:
"Liu Beile, Liu Zhao and Sun Xiao are brave and good at fighting. His soldiers are all lunatics who are not afraid of death. Ask Amin. When they were in Hunjiang, they only had 300 servants and they dared to attack the 6,000 army formation. Last time in Kaiyuan , Liu Zhao and Sun Chai killed the leader of Xianglan Banner, do you think such a person will be a coward?"
When Jierhalang said this, the smile on his face suddenly turned into an awkward smile, he turned his head to the side and stopped talking.
During these days, Ba Yala of Xianglan Banner had been scouting around Kaiyuan and had already suffered more than a dozen casualties.
Liu Zhaosun's men were indeed not afraid of death during those nights, especially those Guangxi wolf soldiers and white-pole soldiers, who were simply a nightmare for the Bagas.
Mang Gurtai, who was sitting next to him, was clearly mocking himself when he heard this. He became angry and shouted:
"What a bastard! At that time, the Blue Flag warriors had broken through the west gate and were attacking the north gate. I beat all the white-pole soldiers from Zhejiang and Zhejiang to the ground! If you and your eighth brother (Huang Taiji) hadn't withdrawn your troops in advance, Liu Zhaosun would have been beaten long ago. I caught him and chopped him into pieces."
Da Baile Daishan did not give in at all:
"In that case, why didn't you catch Liu Zhaosun when we were in Hunjiang? You Zhenglan Banner had tens of thousands of troops, and you let the Yehe people chase him for more than ten miles. It sounds ridiculous."
Mang Gurtai was about to explode when Nurhachi waved his hand to interrupt the meaningless argument, looked up at Huang Taiji and asked:
"Babeile, what do you think of this?"
Huang Taiji had been waiting to be asked. He stood up and looked at everyone, then looked back at Hou Jinhan and sneered:
"Father! This fellow Liu Zhaosun has watched too much "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and wants to deceive me with a trick! He burned fields and destroyed mines and sent envoys to Shenyang to act with Xiong Tingbi. He was just showing weakness on purpose. He wanted my army to ignore Kaiyuan and fight with all his strength. Attack Shenyang, and then take advantage of our unpreparedness to attack suddenly! He already used this trick last time in Kaiyuan, and now he still wants to fool me, it’s ridiculous!"
Several Belles also nodded.
Just as Nurhachi was about to speak, Little Belle Dudo standing behind him suddenly shouted:
"Father Khan has watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" the most!"
A group of Jurchens around laughed loudly. The Great Khan really loved reading "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Everyone knew that Houjin Khan doted on the seven-year-old Belle the most, and Tong Yanwuji would not blame him.
Nurhachi laughed loudly, laughed for a while, and then returned to his cold expression. He looked at everyone with sharp eyes, and there was a sudden silence around him.
"Whether he comes to Shenyang or not, I will take special care of this person. If he resorts to a trick, I will use it. Last time I let him escape by chance, this time... Ba Beile."
"My son is here!"
Huang Taiji stood up quickly and listened carefully to his father's orders.
"You lead the white flag troops and horses, one of them is lurking on the road from Kaiyuan to Shenyang, cutting off the roads around Kaiyuan, and the other is besieging Kaiyuan City, waiting for General Liu to leave the city, and when the army conquers Liaoshen, if he doesn't come out again For rescue, we will unite our troops and defeat Kaiyuan City!"
All the Baylors stood up and responded. As usual, it was time for the Great Khan to issue an attack order.
Nurhachi glanced at everyone and continued:
"The rest of the troops will attack Shenyang City with all their strength after the Prince Consort of Fushun returns. They will first occupy the west and south gates, then attack from both inside and outside, bombard them with artillery, and destroy the white pole soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers."
"twitter!"
Nurhachi looked down at the Han man who was still kneeling, leaned over to help him up, and said coldly:
"I give you tens of thousands of taels of silver every year, not for you to write account books. Go back and contact Ding Bi and follow his instructions. Ding Shen will rush from Tieling to Shenyang for this battle. You must also contribute to Dajin."
The man kowtowed quickly and said with a trembling voice:
"Don't worry, Khan. All the Liao people in the city are eagerly waiting for the army to enter the city. I asked them to be ready and open the door to welcome the master. I will call Xiong Tingbi and the two guest soldiers. They will die without a burial place."
All the Belles laughed, grabbed the wine glasses on the table and started drinking.
Nurhachi looked up at the flag of the Great Khan flying in front of him, feeling a little excited in his heart. He had been dormant in Liaodong for many years. Although Saarhu had a great victory, it was only the beginning. He knew very well that only by conquering Liaoshen could Jianzhou Jurchen be the winner. The true owner of the land.
In Houjin Khan's field of vision, a Baya figure suddenly appeared with a triangular flag on his back. He was a white-armored soldier with a blue flag. He broke in from outside the pier regardless of the obstruction of Goshiha around him. He still had some Bloodstained, he fell to the ground.
Nurhachi waved his hand to repel Geshiha. Everyone looked up at Bagara, and Jierhalang was even more nervous.
"Great Khan! Kaiyuan soldiers are attacking Tieling! They are about to break the city!"
