Thinking about it, Wu Zhong's heart was very happy. After all, he took such a big risk and was in the enemy camp, so that he could finally defeat Jianyu!

At the same time, the eavesdropping seed on his body also spread the news of the victory of the Ming army to Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in Beijing.

Although he didn't understand the outcome of the battle, Emperor Chongzhen saw that the voice Wu Zhong heard was transformed into words, gathering all kinds of remarks, and knew that the victory of the Ming army in this battle was at least a severe blow to the morale of the Manchu army.

When he was happy, suddenly, there was movement in the system again, and the words that only Emperor Chongzhen could see began to reveal line by line.

Morale is a major factor in any war, especially in the era of cold weapon warfare, the level of morale is the key factor that determines the victory of the war! As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the host inspired the Qin soldiers very well, so that they exerted twelve points of combat power in the war against the Manchu army, dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Manchu army, and broke the myth of the invincibility of the Manchu army in the field.

This is a very good start, I hope that the host will always pay attention to the morale of the army, make persistent efforts, and maintain the strong morale of the Ming army, which will be a key step for the host as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty. In order to encourage similar behaviors of the host, a Grade A eavesdropping seed will be rewarded, come on!

After reading these words, Emperor Chongzhen verified that another Grade A eavesdropping seed had arrived, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Eavesdropping seeds, the more the merrier!

The previous Grade A eavesdropping seed had been "rewarded" to Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanda, and he learned a lot of news. If he wants to recover it, he will at least wait until the Jin Shang and their accomplices are wiped out.

Now that there is another Grade A eavesdropping seed, who should it be best used for?

Emperor Chongzhen was happy for a while, and then began to think about this problem. In any case, if you have a golden finger with you, you must make the most of this eavesdropping seed!

After thinking about it for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, he patted his knees, and his heart was happy: Didn't the front line just win a victory? There should always be captives, right? Let Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting send the captives to Jingshi immediately, select the most valuable captive, "reward" him with eavesdropping seeds, and then release them back to Liaodong. In this way, there is another channel to understand the movements in Liaodong.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen did not hesitate, and immediately issued an order, sending people to the front line immediately to pass on this decree.

After finishing this, when Emperor Chongzhen calmed down, he suddenly had another idea, and for a while, he was quite excited.

He thought to himself, should he sneak out of the city and go to the front? In this way, even if no high-level prisoners are caught, as long as the two armies face each other, the Manchu leaders, such as Na Dolgon, Yue Tuo, etc., will always come up, right?

As long as they can be seen by themselves, won't they be able to drop the seed of eavesdropping on them? In this way, the value of such a high-level Manchu Qing leader to send back the news must be immeasurable!

However, as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it is nothing for him to leave the palace once, but if he leaves the capital division and goes to the front line, in this context, he is not afraid, but who will agree to the courtiers? Who will help? Sneak out? It will take a few days, the emperor is missing, and Jingshi has to panic!

But no matter what, the idea of sneaking to the front line and rewarding the high-ranking leaders of the Manchu Qing Dynasty with seeds was like the temptation of the devil, and Emperor Chongzhen couldn't let go of it, and he couldn't throw it away, so he began to think left and right in his heart.

At the same time, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were not idle for a moment, and when the voice of "Wansheng" in the army was a little weaker, so that they all vented their excitement of victory, they immediately began to give orders, and the heavy artillery moved forward, preparing to attack the city.

In the last battle, Cao Bianjiao and He Renlong had the greatest credit, which made the other generals blush. Now that the orders of the Governor and the Governor had been handed down again, they immediately held back their strength and began to get busy.

Pikemen, musketeers, and archers escorted the heavy artillery forward. Behind them were infantry troops pushing ladder carts.

This kind of ladder cart is fixed on a moving wooden board with a wheel, and there is even a row of protective plates in front of it to block arrows and cover the soldiers of the cart. Once you are close to the wall, untie the rope and the ladder will tip forward and lean against the wall. After pulling back, the hook at the top of the ladder can still firmly hook the battlements, and the infantry can step on the ladder and rush up as soon as possible.

In the Central Plains, ladder trucks are the most basic equipment for siege. Since the Qin army had a clear purpose of attacking the city from the beginning, it was naturally indispensable to bring some over, which came in handy at this time.

More than 20 ladder trucks, lined up, with intervals between each other. Behind each ladder cart, there were groups of foot soldiers, some armed with shields and waist knives, and some armed with long weapons, such as machetes and the like. These soldiers are all vigorous men.

Under the influence of the victorious land of the previous battle, they were all in high morale, and they seemed to be eager to let the ladder cart lean against the city wall immediately, and they would not hesitate to rush up as soon as possible.

Looking at the imposing Ming army soldiers outside the city, at the head of the city, Chen Weiquan, the county commander who surrendered, turned pale. Although he was a civilian official, he did not know much about marching and fighting. But at this moment, as long as you are not blind, you can know that the next battle will be very dangerous.

In the previous time, the reason why he chose to surrender Jianlu was because he was frightened and scared by the prestige of Liaodong Jianlu; More importantly, his county town did not repair the city defense. It is only a county seat, the city wall is not high, and there is no moat. He felt that it was impossible to hold on, and his life was at stake, so he surrendered as soon as possible.

Now, once again, he felt that he couldn't hold on. But can you surrender again? Apparently impossible! At this time, he was a little desperate in his heart!

What to do, what to do?

Just when he was at a loss and looked at Du Du with his eyes for help, a loud "boom" suddenly sounded outside the city, and then Chen Weiquan felt that the city wall was shaking, but it was an iron bullet that smashed on the city wall, accompanied by another loud noise, earth and stones flew wildly, and a big pit appeared on the city wall.

With a "poof", Chen Weiquan couldn't stand anymore, and sat down on the ground in fright.

Du Du on the side heard the sound and saw that he was so unbearable, and he was very disdainful in his heart. was originally angry because of the war, but he suddenly found an outlet, kicked it over, and shouted: "Guts dog, get away!" ”

After finishing speaking, he ignored Chen Weiquan, who was kicked away, and turned his head to look out of the city, his face was extremely ugly.

He understands that this cannon just now is just a test shot by the gunners of the Ming army outside the city, and then the angle and amount of the cannon will be adjusted, and if the cannon is fired again, it will be more accurate. And he didn't even have to look to know that the heavy artillery target of the Ming army was definitely the city gate.

Generally speaking, in this case, the city gate must be blocked with something. Otherwise, if it is just a wooden city gate, it will not be able to withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery.

However, at this time, Du Du had a hideous face, and did not give the order to block the city gate, but gave a sharp command and passed another order.

Obviously, he seems to have a way to deal with the Ming army's imminent siege!

After a while, the heavy artillery of the Ming army sounded again, and with a "boom", the iron bullet hit the target again in the blink of an eye. This time, it was smashed less than a foot away from the city gate. According to this trend, the next time, it is likely to hit the city gate.

The Manchu troops defending at the head of the city were all nervous. One by one, they clenched the blades in their hands, preparing to fight again after the city was broken. Other than that, they don't have a choice. At least at this time, they didn't think about surrendering to the Ming army!

Outside the city, the soldiers of the Ming army who were preparing to attack saw the effect of the artillery bombardment and cheered.

The silence inside the city contrasted sharply with the shouts of excitement outside the city.

The officer of the Ming army in command of the artillery battalion already knew what to expect, and ordered several heavy guns to adjust their parameters, and in the next moment, the artillery was fired almost simultaneously.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The sound of heavy artillery firing was deafening, making the faces of the builders on the head of the city unusually ugly; The faces of the soldiers of the Ming army outside the city were full of expectation. Many soldiers even whispered "Middle, middle, middle......"

No accident, an iron bullet struck the city gate.

The wooden city gate was smashed with a "bang", small wooden pieces flew around, and half of the city gate was gone.

"Wansheng ......" The soldiers of the Ming army outside the city saw it, and they all roared in unison, and their voices were full of excitement.

Under the banner of the Ming army, whether it was Hong Chengchou or Sun Chuanting, their faces showed a relaxed look.

The gates of the city were breached, and the ladder carts scattered all over the city walls to attack, and it was time to storm the city in one fell swoop. In this way, the previous war intention can be realized, that is, before the Jianyu reinforcements arrive, the county seat will be defeated and the people of Daming will be rescued!

At the same time, on the official road about ten miles away from here, a group of knights was speeding towards this direction.

There are a total of more than 20 rides, and you can see clearly from afar, all of them are wearing black flying fish suits. As long as it is the people of the Ming Dynasty, especially the people in the north, they can recognize at a glance that this is one of the emperor's personal guards, the famous Jinyi Guard.

On the official road in front of this team of brocade guards, on the side of the road, there was a person who was trying to climb up the official road from the ditch.

This person is wearing gray clothes, and there seem to be several styles, anyway, he looks messy, and even his head is wrapped in a mess of unknown fabrics to resist the invasion of the cold wind. Just look at it, you can't tell whether it's a man or a woman, a person or a ghost!

When the upper body of this person finally climbed onto the official road, looked up and heard the sound, and found the brocade guard who was speeding in the distance, his dirty face, bright eyes seemed to show a trace of longing, and he immediately stretched out his hand and wanted to wave it. However, the hand was weak, and before it could be raised, it fell weakly. It seems that this move has exhausted its strength, and it can't even support its upper body, so it fell on the cold ground.

Feeling the ground shake as the horse stepped on the ground, the man knew that the brocade guards were getting closer and closer.

In any case, take this opportunity. Thinking so, the man suddenly showed his white teeth, clenched his teeth, his eyes were full of determination, and he began to support his body with all his might, trying to raise his upper body to greet the team of brocade guards.

However, the man's body only slightly lifted off the ground, but he lost the little strength he had, and he fell back to the ground weakly.

Feeling that the Jinyi Guards were getting closer and closer, closer and closer, there was already a look of despair in this person's eyes, and he lay there unwillingly, slowly swinging his hand against the ground with the little strength he had left.

In this case, if you want to attract the attention of this team of brocade guards, the hope is very slim. It's like wanting to get revenge, it's almost impossible. At this moment, this person, that is, Gao Qingxue, was really desperate.

Thinking that he had crawled out of the pile of dead people, picked up the clothes of the dead to keep out the cold, and on an empty stomach, he hid from the Jianyu army outside the city, and stumbled the farthest road in his life.

When I got here, I was hungry and cold, and I no longer had the strength to walk. Originally, I was a little desperate, but I suddenly saw a team of brocade guards, and I thought things had taken a turn for the better. However, the weak body no longer has half the strength, and he doesn't even have the strength to say hello for help.

At this time, lying on the ground, there is almost no difference between himself and a corpse, right? This team of brocade guards galloped away, obviously with something important, how could they stop and check the corpses on the side of the road, whether they were still alive? These days, there aren't too many corpses on the side of the road!

At this moment, Gao Qingxue was really desperate.

Thinking of the parents who were killed by Jianyu, thinking of the sisters who were taken away by Jianyu, thinking of the Jinyiwei named Wu Zhong, trying his best to let himself report to the imperial court, thinking about everything, the grief in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and tears came out of his eyes!

"Boom Boom ......"

The sound of horses' hooves hurriedly, getting closer and closer, passed by her, did not stop, and went away again.

Gao Qingxue was really desperate, she didn't fulfill the request named Wu Zhong Jinyiwei in the end, this is going to die, right?

His eyes were blurred with tears, and he seemed to see his father who was an official, and his mother who kept talking about why he didn't have a son......

Father, mother, daughter is not filial, failed to avenge you, and failed to take care of her sisters......

At this time, Gao Qingxue fell into a coma, but her swinging hand was still unwillingly still swinging slowly, just slower and slower.

She didn't know that the team of brocade guards in the gallop, the leader of the man, suddenly stopped urgently, and then turned his head to look back with a little doubt.

"Brother Liu, what's wrong?" When the other brocade guards saw it, they also hurriedly stopped, and one of them asked puzzledly, "It seems that they have heard the sound of cannons, there should be a battle, we have to find someone quickly." Otherwise, the soldiers are in chaos, and I don't know if they will die in the chaos! ”

This Brother Liu is Liu Yue, the general banner of Jinyi Wei, he frowned and looked at the "corpse" on the official road not far away, and saw that the hand seemed to be still moving, so he dismounted and said: "Don't be in a hurry, the person on the side of the road is a little strange, go over and take a look." ”

"Brother Liu, there aren't too many dead people on the side of the road, what's so strange?" Another brocade guard was a little puzzled, so he asked for advice.

Liu Yue strode over, and while teaching his subordinates experience, he said, "Looking at the figure, it's probably a woman." Look at it again, you can no longer raise your head but your hands are still moving, and you have a strong will to survive. As I passed by, I seemed to see tears in my eyes. You know the purpose of our coming out, and we would rather delay a little time than let one go. This is the emperor's will, but you must not be sloppy! ”
