On this day, Man Guizheng convened his subordinates to discuss the defense of Shenyang City, as well as the latest orders of Xiong Tingbi of Liaodong Economic Strategy.

Suddenly, a sentry came to report and said:

"General Qiyu, there are rumors in the city, saying that there will be three thousand Chahar caravans passing through the city in the middle of the moon and the moon, and the Fushun Pass trade in front of it."

Man Gui waved his hand to signal him to step back, and then said with a sad brow:

"Jinglu's order is to let these 3,000 Chahars cross the city and tell them to go to Fushun Pass for normal trade, what do you think?"

Soon, a different opinion was raised.

But it was Ren Guozhong, a recruiting guerrilla general who was ordered to withdraw into Shenyang from Baitapu, and he hugged his fists and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, generals, I think that Jingluo is a little far away in Liaoyang, and I don't know the war under the city of Shenyang, so our army can't let these trade caravans cross the city."

Man Gui glanced at him and asked:

"Oh? How to say. ”

Ren Guozhong said:

"The Fushun switch this time is all caused by the imperial court's failure to adjust the trade in time, just talking about Chahar's 3,000 caravans, which are full of goods, and the value is no less than one Liaodong army supply."

"Isn't this time a sheep into the wolf's mouth, and all of them are given to Jiannu?"

Man Gui actually thought so, but he believed in Xiong Tingbi's control of the battle situation more than his own judgment.

Before Fushun switched trade, no one in the Manchu Dynasty noticed this problem?

Xiong Tingbi sent this order before the switch, could it be a blind command like Wang Huazhen? Man Gui felt that he had other considerations.

Man Gui didn't pretend to be smart, he thought about it, and suddenly, his face changed from solemn to a little disappreciative, and said with a smile:

"Let the guerrillas worry too much!"

"Since ancient times, the two armies have fought against each other, and they have not beheaded each other, although Jiannu is a barbarian, but this truth should still be understood."

"If Nurhachi does this, won't he be an enemy of the world?"

Ren Guozhong retreated and didn't say more.

After all, he was just a temporary Baitapu recruiting guerrillas, and people were soft-spoken, and no matter how much he said, it would have the opposite effect, making Man Gui feel that he was deliberately against him.

Since this matter has Xiong Tingbi's order, it has nothing to do with him, and it is enough to fulfill the duty of a courtier and put forward his own opinions.

The generals discussed a lot, but there were no more than two points of view.

Ren Guozhong occupies the mainstream, and many people think that this Fushun switch trade is to send materials to Jiannu.

If you let it go, it will be detrimental to yourself, and the court will be shocked when you learn about it.

There are also some people who believe that Xiong Tingbi deliberately issued such an order before the switch, that is, he hoped that the defenders of Shenyang would not interfere.

In doing so, he must have his own considerations, and they do their part well and defend Shenyang City, which is the best result.

Regarding this matter, Man Gui changed his previous style, and he seemed a little absent-minded throughout the whole process, as if he was not worried at all that Jiannu would attack the caravan.

However, considering the views of most people, he finally said with a straight color:

"Since there is a clear order in advance, we must obey the order, no matter whether Jiannu will attack the caravan or not, our army must do everything possible."

"Spread the news, just say that Fushun will not switch as usual this time!"

As he spoke, he looked at Ren Guozhong and said:

"Let the guerrillas, order you to lead your troops to inspect the city, prohibit the merchants and people in the city from going out of the city to participate in this assembly, and not let the news of the Fushun switch circulate in Shenyang City, nor let the merchants and the people notice anything, which is not conducive to the major affairs of the city's defense."

Ren Guozhong nodded heavily and returned to the queue.

At this time, another sentinel came to report.

The sentry, with a slight haste, almost shouted:

"General Yu, the Jiannu army is besieging the city on three sides, and it has reached the outside of the city, and they have erected flags on all sides, and they have also carried shield carts and siege towers!"

Man Gui immediately got up and said solemnly:

"Generals, we have a heavy responsibility to defend the land after all, and if there is a slight mistake, it will be a catastrophe. Shenyang City, this is for you! ”

Ren Guozhong and the others clenched their fists, bowed down and said:

"General rest assured, we will fight Jiannu to the death with all our might, and the city is here!"

"Even if Lao Tzu fights for this life, he will break off Jiannu's two canine teeth!"

......

"Please lead the king of Khan into the city!"

Under the city of Shenyang, the army of the Eight Banners swept in.

The banner that covered the sky and the sun made the Ming officers and soldiers who were waiting for the battle breathe rapidly, and they all clenched the swords and guns in their hands tightly, waiting for orders.

Nurhachi rode on his horse, looked at the city, and could not help but say:

"Shenyang, see how many days you can hang the banner of the Ming Dynasty!"

After that, Nurhachi turned over and dismounted, and Huang Taiji, Mang Gurtai and other beyles and generals also jumped off their horses together.

They all knew that the service was about to be.

Sure enough, Nurhachi took the lead, and all the people of Houjin knelt down not far from the city of Shenyang, kowtowed in the direction of Hetuala, and asked their ancestors to bless them with victory and success.

This scene was seen by the Ming army at the head of the city, and there was a burst of laughter.

The Ming soldiers fired their guns into the air and beat gongs and drums, as if they were cooperating with the worship in the direction of Houjin, but in fact they completely ruined the atmosphere.

Such a frivolous attitude also made the Houjin people angry.

Nurhachi didn't care, he finished the whole prayer, and then he brought a glass of wine, and slowly sprinkled it on the ground before it was finished.

......

Late that night, the sky was cloudy and the rain was light.

With the sound of rumbling footsteps, nearly 100,000 troops of the Eight Banners on the south and east sides pressed towards Shenyang City, and the sound of hooves rolled.

The Ming army at the head of the city was also terrified, pushing ammunition into the cannons, and the birds were drugged, ready to pour into the Jiannu army at any time.

Soon, the army of the Eight Banners began to attack the city from both sides.

The Eight Banners on the south and east sides are all extremely strong in combat, and they are led by Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan personally, and their momentum is like a rainbow, and they can't tell which direction is the main attack for a while.

Man Gui had to defend both sides together, and only half an hour after the engagement, the Ming army on both sides of the city wall fought three blade battles with the Eight Banners at the head of the city.

This time, the Houjin soldiers pushed the shield cart, and there were more than a dozen siege towers, and they came prepared, and they would take Shenyang tonight.

Man Gui was supervising the battle in the south of the court of Nurhachi Khan, his face was already covered with blood stains of unknown people, and when he saw that the Houjin soldiers were attacking so fiercely, he ordered:

"Transfer the defenders on the remaining two sides to the south and east sides to assist in defending the city!"

The defenders who had been ordered from the north gate soon arrived on the east side, and Li Chengyin, the chief soldier of Anshan who was guarding here, arranged their respective places to guard, and continued to personally supervise the battle at the head of the city.

The two soldiers intersected, and the Eight Banners soldiers came to the city with a shield cart, and Mang Gurtai was happy to kill, pointing at the city head with a blood-stained tiger head sword, and shouted loudly:

"Listen to the head of the city, I am the Great Golden Three Belle Mang Gurtai! If you don't hurry down to the city and die, Benbel can keep your whole corpse! ”

Li Chengyin laughed angrily, laughed a few times, stepped on the battlement, and replied:

"Even if you wait for barbarians, you dare to shout under Shenyang City!"

"Mang Gurtai, you better go back quickly and call your slave chieftain to come! You Li Ye and I never fight with unknown juniors! ”
