Outside Shenyang City, in the afternoon, there was a sudden movement of the Ming army outside the city. After reporting it, Dorgon hurried to the top of the city.
"I don't know why, but the Ming army started to camp again, and the scale is so large that it cannot be used by the cavalry outside the city!" As soon as he saw Dorgon, Yue Tuo introduced him with a serious face.
Dorgon did not respond, but strode closer to the battlements and looked out of the city.
Sure enough, just as Yue Tuo said, there were at least tens of thousands of cavalrymen busy setting up camp. Looking at that posture, the mountains and plains are definitely not setting up camp for themselves!
Could it be that there are still more troops from the Ming Dynasty coming? This thought immediately flashed into Dorgon's mind, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Other than that, there is no other explanation!
He turned to look at Yue Tuo, and happened to see Yue Tuo looking at him as well. Their eyes met, and he knew that the other party wanted to get together.
As a result, both of them frowned and looked heavy. A thought, which could no longer be suppressed, popped up: If Shengjing could not be defended, the Qing Dynasty would fall!
On the top of the city, not only Dorgon and Yue Tuo, but also others naturally saw the movements of the Ming army outside the city. They all turned pale and looked at the Ming army outside the city in silence.
In sharp contrast, the Ming troops outside the city were working enthusiastically, and the Ming troops responsible for patrolling and guarding against enemies were also in high spirits.
After a while, Dorgon came to his senses and suddenly ordered the surrounding guards, including Yue Tuo's, to step back a few feet, leaving enough space for him and Yue Tuo.
Then Dorgon approached Yue Tuo and said with a heavy face: "In the past few days, the food and grass consumption in the city has also been huge. I don't know how many days the Ming army can hold out, but it is estimated that the city can only hold on for seven or eight days." Damn it. If the Ming army wants to attack the city, the food and grass consumption will be even more. Even if the movement of the Ming army outside the city is not the arrival of new Ming troops, it is just a strategy to disrupt the morale of our army, Shengjing will definitely not be able to defend it! "
"What can I do?" After hearing this, Yue Tuo asked in a low voice, and then sighed and said, "The only way we can live or die is with Shengjing!"
"No!" After Dorgon heard this, he immediately shook his head and whispered resolutely: "You go and choose warriors who can fight at night, break out under the cover of night, and join Hauge to continue the bloodline of my Manchu people and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback! "
Hearing this, Yue Tuo was shocked. After he came to his senses, he flatly refused: "No, you are the regent of the Qing Dynasty. It is up to you to escape with the Queen Mother and the Emperor. I will defend the city to attract the Ming Dynasty." Attention, military!"
"You don't have to fight with me!" Dorgon felt a little emotional after hearing this. He reached out and patted Yue Tuo's shoulder, and sighed, "Just because I am the regent and have become the Qing family, but now it is We have ended up in this situation. Fortunately, I used to think that my talents were not inferior to those of the late emperor, and I would definitely be able to lead the Qing Dynasty out of this predicament! No matter what, others can leave, but I can’t leave, I have no shame in leaving!”
Having said this, he sighed again, and then said sincerely to Yue Tuo: "After you break out, I believe you can defeat Hauge. You two have a lot of troops, so you can prepare for the future! If it were me If so, Hauge may not really convince me, and he might start fighting among himself."
Hearing what Dorgon said was reasonable, Yue Tuo no longer insisted, but he still said with a little worry: "If you don't leave, what will happen to Prince Yu? He won't listen to me!"
"Him?" Dorgon sighed after hearing this, "The situation in Liaoyang should not be as optimistic as we imagined! It's hard to say whether he will survive, so just leave him alone!"
Yue Tuo was also a straightforward person. After hearing this, he took two steps back, rarely knelt down, and solemnly saluted Dorgon and said: "In this case, please take care of yourself, uncle. I will choose someone right away, and then go to the palace to take care of the Queen Mother." Leave with the Emperor..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dorgon, who said very firmly: "Don't take the Queen Mother and the Emperor with you. Their goal is too big. If they break out, they will definitely attract the Ming army." We are chasing and intercepting them, and we will not stop until we catch up.”
At this point, he hesitated for a while and then said: "The Queen Mother is very ambitious. What will happen to the Emperor when he gets older after being taken out? All in all, the Qing Dynasty will definitely not be able to withstand internal fighting!"
Hearing this, Yue Tuo was speechless for a while, obviously thinking about it, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll listen to you. It's just a matter of selecting elites. I'm afraid it won't be hidden from Obai. The Queen Mother and the Emperor should also do the same." Know."
"It doesn't matter, I'll have to say it myself!" After hearing this, Dorgon answered him without thinking.
Even if this matter is settled like this. The two slave chiefs, after taking another look at the Ming army in full swing outside the city, they both left the city and rushed to the palace.
"What?" Bumbutai stared at Dorgon in front of him, like a tigress with explosive hair, and shouted sternly, "You want to abandon my mother and son? You want to use my mother and son as bait and throw them to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"
"You are thinking too much!" Dorgon was not afraid to show his teeth after hearing this. Bumubutai, who was extremely excited, just said lightly, "I am staying in Shengjing and will not leave. Yue Tuo is going to move reinforcements. , otherwise, the isolated city cannot be defended, and Shengjing will definitely not be defended!"
As a master of palace fighting, how could Bumbutai be so easy to deceive? She didn't believe it. She just stared at Dorgon and said loudly: "In that case, why should Yue Tuo choose the elites and how many there are? Then Sheng Sheng What should we do in Beijing? How can we defend it? Don’t think that I don’t know that the Ming army is building a camp outside the city. There should be another Ming army coming, right?”
Dorgon still had the same lukewarm expression, not excited, and said calmly: "There are more than 30,000 Ming cavalry troops outside the city. If there are fewer Qing warriors breaking out to ask for help, do you think they can break out?"
At this point, he finally raised his voice and emphasized in a cold voice: "How much do you, a woman, know when leading troops in a war? Stop guessing! Remember, I will always be with you. I said I would never abandon you. You, mother and son, will never abandon you, mother and son!"
He said this last sentence so loudly and forcefully that Bumbutai couldn't help but feel stunned for a while.
However, although she did not know how to lead troops in battle, there were more than 30,000 Ming cavalry outside the city. Her instinct was to stay as far away as possible, otherwise she would not be able to sleep at night. No matter how much she cherished her appearance, she already had dark circles under her eyes and a few pimples.
When she wanted to talk again, Dorgon ignored him, turned around and strode out of the palace. Even if she shouted, Dorgon should have heard her, but he did not look back.
Seeing this situation, Bumbutai was a little panicked and quickly called Obai again. She wanted to ask Obai, what should we do about this matter?
However, Ao Bai was not in the palace, but was called away by Yue Tuo. Xiaozhi used reason to move his emotions, and was doing Ao Bai's ideological work.
After Yue Tuo promised that after he broke out, he would regard Hauge as the emperor and swore an oath, Obai agreed to his request to recruit the elite of the guard army.
For Obai, one of his bottom lines is that Huang Taiji's son becomes emperor. As for whether it was Fulin or Hauge, in this situation, he didn't have much choice.
And the other bottom line is, of course, that the Qing Dynasty will never be destroyed!
I heard Ao Bai tell Yue Tuo: "After you break through, if possible, cut off the Ming army's food route. In this way, maybe everyone can survive!"
"That makes sense. If there is a chance, of course I will not miss this opportunity to turn defeat into victory!" Yue Tuo assured again. However, he knew very well in his heart that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could not be unaware of the importance of food routes, and he would definitely protect them very well.
Ao Bai was also a bachelor, so he immediately cupped his fists and saluted Yue Tuo: "Then tonight I will lead the army to pretend to attack the Ming army camp to create opportunities for His Highness!"
"Okay, you are the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty named Batulu. I believe you will be able to kill more bright dogs to support my king!" After hearing this, Yue Tuo immediately returned the gift and said solemnly.
In this way, when the situation was not good, Yue Tuo quietly prepared, waiting for nightfall to break out.
It must be said that those selected Jianlu were very happy in their hearts as they waited for dark with full stomachs.
Being able to break out means being able to survive. As for Shengjing City, no one can believe that it can continue to hold on. At this time, they were waiting anxiously for it to get dark soon.
However, none of them expected that it was not dark yet, or at least half an hour before dark, when dust was flying again in the south of Shengjing, and a long red dragon was winding its way.
This time, instead of cavalry, the main force was infantry and chariot camps. There are them on the official road and in the fields on both sides of the official road. Countless thin dragons gathered into one shocking big dragon, heading straight towards Shengjing City.
The flags of the Ming army rustled in the wind; the armor of the Ming army sparkled in the sun; the weapons of the Ming army also reflected the frightening cold light. The most important thing is that you can't see the edge or the end.
Except for those who were on duty to defend, all the Ming cavalry troops outside the city rushed forward and shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor!"
Hearing this, even Bumubutai, who had not seen any movement in the palace, was frightened. Is the Ming Emperor coming?
Needless to say, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty must be here!
Suddenly, she immediately remembered the legendary Ming emperor's various heroic and heroic achievements. Even if she didn't understand military affairs, the Ming emperor who Dorgon said should be ten and a half days away unexpectedly appeared outside Shengjing City. He Do you understand that Shengjing will definitely not be able to hold on?
Other Jianlu also had the same idea as Bumbutai.
Therefore, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen made his appearance, the morale of Jianlu fell to the bottom.
When Dorgon saw this, he was naturally unwilling to accept it. He didn't even have time to be shocked, so he quickly sent an order to explain that the emperor should not come in a hurry. As long as the Qing Dynasty could defend Shengjing, the more Ming troops came, the faster they would die. ! Prince Yu in Liaoyang will definitely clear up the military supply route!
However, after his words were passed on, before the morale improved, many prisoners were seen on the top of the city, pointing to the outside of the city and screaming in surprise.
