I saw that to the west of Pyongyang City, countless Jianyu infantry troops were driving towards Pyongyang City. The Jianjiao here rushed over to greet them.

It didn't take long to see that among the newly emerged Jianyu infantry army, there was an emperor's honor guard, needless to say, it was Jianyu Huang Taiji who personally led the army.

Seeing this scene, even Lu Xiangsheng was very surprised. He didn't expect that for the sake of a small Pyongyang city, even the puppet emperor would come over in person, which shows how much he attaches importance to the Dongjiang Army!

At the head of the city, all the defenders silently watched the arrival of the army outside the city. I have to say that the number of captured troops is really shocking!

No matter who it is, as long as you see the number of prisoners outside the city, there are at least 70,000 or 80,000 people, right? And this is broad daylight, it is all visible to the naked eye, there is no bluff, and the situation of pretending to be many people is completely real!

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Outside the city, 780,000 prisoners shouted in unison, and the sound was so loud that even the rats in the rat holes in Pyongyang could hear it clearly.

The slave chieftain and the puppet emperor came in person, and the number of troops reached 780,000, while in Pyongyang, the total number of troops was less than 20,000. With such a huge strength, can it really be stopped by the walls of Pyongyang?

According to the popular practice of soldiers, the general besieging army is about two or three times the strength of the defending city, and there is hope of defeating it. The most important thing is that the army trapped outside the city is a strong enemy, and the army that can cut off reinforcements and defeat the army out of the city is doomed.

Thinking of this, the faces of the defenders in Pyongyang City were unusually ugly. Not to mention the North Korean soldiers, even the faces of many Ming soldiers are ugly.

Lu Xiangsheng quickly came back to his senses, and immediately inspected the whole city, and at the same time sent an order to all the soldiers defending the city: "In the battle a few days ago, our army had already beaten the Jianyu, and they were afraid of us, so they did their best to build the main force and came to besiege Pyongyang!" The emperor once said that the Jianyu are all paper tigers, and now everyone has seen it, we have only 7,000 troops, and we have beaten out the main force of the Jianyu! ”

"This official has long expected that the main force of Jianyu will be attracted by our army, so he has already sent someone back to Beijing to report the news, with the emperor's wisdom and martial arts, he will definitely respond to our army from the direction of Guanning. As you can imagine, the main force of Jianyu has all been attracted by our army, the hinterland of Liaodong is empty, the most elite Guanning army of the Ming Dynasty has entered the hinterland of Liaodong from the first line of Ningjin, and the nest of Jianyu is in danger, as long as we hold on for some days, the Jianyu outside the city will definitely withdraw in panic! ”

"Now regarding the situation of Jianyu, the Guanning Army and our Dongjiang Army are on the left and right, flanking Jianlu, and letting Jianlu run back and forth. The emperor once said that within five years, Liaodong will definitely be recovered. ”

"This work of recovering Liaodong has been caught up by everyone! The purpose of holding Pyongyang City together with the officers and soldiers was to attract the main force of Jianyu here and create an opportunity for the Guanning Army. The merits of this first battle are all from our Dongjiang Army! ”

“……”

Listening to Lu Xiangsheng's words, the soldiers of the Ming army were the first to cheer up.

Most of them were old thieves who were captured by Emperor Chongzhen in Nanyang World War I and voluntarily came to Liaodong to fight Jianqing. It can be said that when they made the decision, they were ready to die in battle. After all, when they made the decision at that time, in their understanding, Jianyu was extremely powerful, but they still made this decision. With such an awareness, it is not a fear of death.

The huge force of Jianyu in front of them shocked them, which is also human nature. However, when they heard Lu Xiangsheng's words, they had already come back to their senses, and the impact of Jianyu's shock on them was minimized.

For Emperor Chongzhen, these people have also experienced it personally, in the first battle of Nanyang, Emperor Chongzhen personally led the army, and he was killed at the most critical time. It can be said that the emperor's command and combat ability is also very powerful. What's more, later on the way to Shandong, they heard about the emperor's clever plan to annihilate the Hetao Tatars in one fell swoop.

Most of these old thieves are from Shaanxi, and of course they know the Hetao Tartars very well. Therefore, the emperor's ability to annihilate rather than defeat the Hetao Tatars is not indispensable.

There is also Emperor Chongzhen's concern for the people, and all kinds of behaviors have left a deep impression in their hearts. It can be said that Emperor Chongzhen's wisdom and martial arts have won their trust.

At this time, when they heard Lu Xiangsheng's analysis and speech, not to mention it, they all cheered up one by one. Now that it has attracted the main force of Jianyu to come over, Liaodong's side is equivalent to creating an opportunity for the Guanning army, and I don't know what they will be like, Jianyu should have never suffered a big loss, this time, it will definitely suffer a big loss. And this credit, the first credit belongs to the Dongjiang Army that attracted the main force of Jianyu!

As soon as these factors were added up, the soldiers of the Ming army relaxed one by one, and they didn't care much about the army outside the city. Their expressions invisibly infected the North Korean soldiers.

can have a Ming feudal official like Lu Xiangsheng to defend the city together, as well as the optimism of the Ming army soldiers, these North Korean soldiers thought that they were just a bad life, these nobles were not afraid, and they were afraid of a ball!

What's more critical is that after Lu Xiangsheng was the commander in charge of the Pyongyang defenders, he treated the Ming army and the North Korean soldiers equally, so that the North Korean soldiers all experienced Lu Xiangsheng's love for soldiers like sons. This situation also played a crucial role in the return of the North Korean soldiers.

And in the army outside the city, Huang Taiji obviously didn't know this, and looking at the Qing army kneeling all over the place, he smiled a little proudly.

Rushing over all the way, there were no accidents, and Lu Xiangsheng and his Dongjiang army were still blocked in Pyongyang. Now, he has led the main force to arrive, and the fate of Lu Xiangsheng and his Dongjiang Army is already doomed. The big trouble of the henchmen can finally be removed!

The infantry army on his side was also marching in a hurry, and now in his opinion, the overall situation has been decided, and he is no longer in such a hurry, and he immediately issued an order to let the whole army rest and recuperate. And himself, after listening to the exhortations of Yue Tuo, Duoduo and others, also inspected the grain and grass materials plundered by this vanguard force in Korea, and was very satisfied, so he led people to watch the city defense of Pyongyang.

I saw that on the head of Pyongyang, the flags of the Ming army and the North Korean army were fluttering, and the soldiers were stationed at the head of the city in an orderly manner, and they were still doing what they had to do, and they didn't see anything abnormal, which couldn't help but surprise Huang Taiji.

It stands to reason that the siege of the lonely city by the army is definitely a very big shock to the defenders. Especially when the army first arrived, all kinds of abnormalities and tensions in the city should be the most common thing.

Huang Taiji fought in Liaodong in his life, and surrounded I don't know how many cities, so he has a lot of experience.

However, he didn't expect that Pyongyang City would be an exception!

In this regard, he immediately called Yue Tuo's name and asked, "Is there reinforcements coming from Pyongyang City?" ”

According to Yue Tuo's previous statement, the defenders in Pyongyang are probably about 20,000. With such a small number of people, seeing several times the Qing army coming to besiege the city, it will definitely panic, right?

Yue Tuo understood why Huang Taiji asked like this, and he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, as the last general has seen, the Ming army is all transporting people from Pyongyang City to the sea, and they are mainly old and weak, and they have not seen any reinforcements!" ”

Fan Wencheng, who was also wearing armor on the side, looked dignified and majestic, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but interject and remind: "Could it be that the Ming army is hiding in the cabin for reinforcements, and the old and weak on the deck are just a disguise?" ”

Hearing this, Huang Taiji was about to nod, but Yue Tuo was unhappy, turned his head to look at Fan Wencheng, and shouted coldly: "The warships of the Ming Army's naval divisions all left Pyongyang, and none of them returned to Pyongyang from the sea. And now that the Taedong River has been cut off, the Ming Army's naval division warships want to return to Pyongyang again, it is also a dream, you know? ”

When Fan Wencheng heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

This time, he was a bit of a mistake. When he saw the calmness of the defenders at the head of Pyongyang, to be honest, he agreed with Huang Taiji's speculation, thinking that Pyongyang City must have come with reinforcements, otherwise, with just a few soldiers and horses, even if the Ming army is elite, but what kind of virtue are the Koreans, will they not be afraid?

In his opinion, there must be enough defenders in the city, so that even the Koreans are not afraid. In order to echo Huang Taiji's statement, one accidentally exposed his lack of understanding of the water master.

And Huang Taiji was a little surprised when he heard it, and immediately asked in detail about the situation of the Ming State Sailors, as well as the response of the Qing Dynasty, he felt that it was not safe, so he transported all the artillery he brought to the narrow land of the Datong River, and he must do it to prevent the Ming Navy Division from passing. If possible, it is better to do the iron cable barrage again, and this is foolproof.

However, it will take time to do these things, but Huang Taiji does not lack time, and if the will continues, let the people below do it.

Then, Huang Taiji turned his head to look at the head of Pyongyang City, staring at the big banner with the word "Lu" fluttering in the wind, he had to admit that Pyongyang City would be like this, and it must have a lot to do with the coach.

This Lu Xiangsheng is a capable person, not comparable to the commanders of the Ming army he has met before, this person must be removed!

Thinking so, he sent people, holding white flags, close to the city wall, and shouted loudly to the city head: "Now I am in the Qing Dynasty, 100,000 troops are besieging the city, and Pyongyang is about to be broken. Otherwise, the city will be slaughtered on the day it is broken! ”

"Jianyu little cub, if you have the ability, you will come to attack the city, my army of 200,000 is waiting for you to attack in the city. Our big knives have long been hungry and thirsty! Li Laiheng happened to be guarding this piece of the city, and immediately responded with mockery.

If you want to brag, who wouldn't!

Stubborn! Jianyu, who was holding the white flag, came to a conclusion in his heart and reluctantly repaid Huang Taiji.

When Huang Taiji heard this, he couldn't help frowning. Of course, he would not believe Lee Rae-hyung's bragging. However, from Li Laiheng's words, he also keenly found that the morale of the Ming army was very high. If not, you can't say such a thing.

It seems that that Lu Xiangsheng is really a good commander and a talent! It would be great if it could be used by the Qing Dynasty!

As far as the end of the Ming Dynasty is concerned, Huang Taiji is indeed the kind of monarch who is eager to seek talent, and the famous King Sanshun was all sealed by him. Later it turned out that King Sanshun also made a great contribution to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, Huang Taiji had this thought, so he turned his head to Fan Wencheng and said: "Fan Qing should know the Han people best, it is better for Qing to go to recruit this Lu Xiangsheng for this official, as long as he is willing to surrender, I can crown him as the king of the Qing Dynasty with a different surname, and I will never break my word!" ”

Hearing this, Fan Wencheng couldn't help but feel extremely bitter in his heart. Thinking in my heart, Your Majesty, the slave is so loyal, and he can also be civil and martial, why didn't you think that the slave was a king with a different surname?

Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and the dead ghost Shang Kexi before, were all crowned kings by you, and now, thinking about Lu Xiang in the sealed city being promoted to a king with a different surname, do you ...... Why don't you think about me, a loyal minion?

Of course, even if he borrowed Fan Wencheng's hundred courages, he didn't dare to tell Huang Taiji what was in his heart. At this time, Huang Taiji had already spoken, so he could only accept it, and after agreeing immediately, he went to Pyongyang City with a white flag.

Hearing that Lu Xiang had infinite lift and was still a marksman, Fan Wencheng didn't dare to get too close, and shouted to the city in a loud voice: "Please Governor Lu speak!" ”

The appearance of a person is still quite important. This Fan Wencheng has a great advantage if he is born with a dignified appearance.

Lu Xiangsheng was at the head of the city, and when he heard him speak, he replied: "This official is!" ”

Fan Wencheng looked up when he heard the sound, and found Lu Xiangsheng at a glance, even if Lu Xiangsheng was not wearing a red scarlet robe, but wearing armor, he recognized it at a glance.

So, he opened his mouth and said: "As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to perch, and a good minister chooses the lord to do things, my Qing Emperor is wise and martial, and he is an immortal monarch, and the Ming Emperor is mediocre and incompetent......"

Hearing this, he basically guessed the purpose of the people under the city coming, and Lu Xiangsheng shouted: "Shut up, you are a barbarian, how can you distinguish between Ming Jun, and what qualifications do you have to comment on my Ming Emperor......

When Fan Wencheng heard this, he straightened his chest and immediately said proudly: "Lord Lu is wrong, I am the seventeenth grandson of Fan Wenzhenggong, and I have been familiar with history books since I was a child, how can I not distinguish between right and wrong......

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but be stunned. The money rat tail at the bottom turned out to be the seventeenth grandson of Fan Wenzhenggong, who was famous in history? If true, this ...... If Fan Wenzhenggong knew in the spirit of heaven that he had such an unscrupulous descendant, would the coffin board be unable to hold it down?

"You have the face to say, it turns out that you are a man who has forgotten his ancestors! Talking to people like you is an insult to this official! Lu Xiangsheng immediately shouted, "Take this official's bow and arrow!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Fan Wencheng was suddenly startled, Lu Xiangsheng was going to shoot him!

So, he didn't dare to persuade again, so he quickly turned his horse's head, fled in the wilderness, and fled back to the Jianyu main formation.
