"That Lu Xiangsheng is extremely stupid and loyal, stubborn, and refuses to accept His Majesty's kindness!" Fan Wencheng didn't dare to lie, and replied truthfully.

When Huang Taiji heard this, he sneered and said, "Since you have failed my good intentions, then don't blame me for a thunderous blow!" ”

He has been planning for the war in Pyongyang for a long time, and he must fight it.

Of course, Huang Taiji knew that the war in Pyongyang could not drag on forever.

In fact, the Korean war launched by the Qing Dynasty, no matter what town it attacked, could not be delayed for a long time, because the Qing Dynasty could not afford to spend a protracted siege war.

Based on this, when he was waiting for news at Zhenjiang Fort, he was already preparing for the battle of Pyongyang. He said that he wanted a thunderous blow, and this was relied upon.

At this time, I saw him shouting: "Come, spread my will, assemble the catapult in front of the camp, let the Ming army at the head of the city see, I prepared a meeting gift for them!" ”

Because of the lessons of the First Battle of Lushun, Huang Taiji knew that if he only used artillery to bombard, he could not defeat the Ming army. Therefore, he came up with a trick, or to use the catapult that was eliminated by artillery.

Compared with artillery, catapults are easier to build and do not require artillery technology, and counterweight catapults are already mature. Over the years, Jianyu has also accumulated enough craftsmen to build more catapults for Jianyu in one go.

If you attack a fortified city like Jinzhou, there are too many artillery defenses, and it is useless to have too many catapults. However, on the side of Pyongyang City, he didn't believe that the Ming army would have so many Hongyi cannons? At least the original North Korea, there was none.

So, with Huang Taiji's order, I saw that in front of the camp on Jianyu's side, one after another carts were pushed out of the barracks, unloading the things on the carts, piled up one after another, lined up in a very long line, and even couldn't be lined up, all lined up in a "two" shape, it only took more than an hour, and the catapults could see the prototype, and finally became a complete catapult.

After the carts unloaded the catapult parts, they were driven away by the Jianyu, and went to the Datong River, wherever there were stones, and transported truckloads of grinding stones, which were piled up in front of the Jianyu barracks. Pile after pile, I feel terrible when I look at it.

Jianyu is also quite arrogant, so he clearly told the defenders at the head of Pyongyang that I am going to use the sea of catapults to flood your Pyongyang city!

And even that, after the big trucks had finished transporting the stones, they began to dig and bag the earth within the sight of the Pyongyang defenders, and then carried them to the side of the catapults one after another, piling them up like a hill. This is again telling the defenders at the head of Pyongyang that in addition to catapults, they will also pile up mountains of earth, fill in the moat, and fill in the city walls.

All this was done under the noses of the defenders of Pyongyang, just for them to see.

By the end of the evening, Jianyu was almost ready. As far as the eye could see outside the city, countless catapults, piles of stones, and mountains of dirt bags were placed there in such a majestic manner.

When the defenders of Pyongyang saw this, their hearts regained tension, but there was some comfort. The Governor himself was in charge, and he had already worked the defense of the city. Outside the city of Pyongyang, there is not only a moat, but also the ground is dug unevenly, and there are large and small pits. Moreover, there are many artillery pieces in the city. If the Jianyu wanted to attack the city with catapults, they would first pay a huge price.

However, it seemed to have guessed what the defenders of the city would think, and at some point, they saw in the distance, groups of prisoners, driving the Korean people to the barracks. That's the number, at least tens of thousands.

Lu Xiangsheng, who was familiar with Jianyu's fighting style, couldn't help but sink in his heart when he saw it, it was obvious that Jianguo obviously expected this, they were ready to use the lives of these Korean people to fill all the injustices outside the city, and make all preparations for Jianguo's siege.

Lu Xiangsheng had to admit that Jianyu had indeed made very careful preparations in order to capture Pyongyang City. It seems that the battle of Pyongyang is even more difficult to hold on to than I imagined, and I don't know how long it can last?

However, things have come to this point, and only soldiers will cover up the water!

At night, Jianyu had already begun to drive the Korean people and began to fill the pits outside the city. By the time it was dawn, the outside of the city had already been filled in half.

After that, the army of the captives was exhausted, and all of them were lined up outside the city of Pyongyang.

The cavalry, roaring and besieging the city, the sound of horses' hooves and shouts, mixed with the sound of pyongyang's city, rushed to the head of Pyongyang.

And the Jianyu foot soldiers, archers lined up in formation, and the number alone was at least tens of thousands. Some foot soldiers stood on the side of the catapults, waiting for the puppet emperor Taiji to give an order, and then pushed the catapults together to approach Pyongyang City.

There were even some of the soldiers, who were shirtless, and had already begun to carry the stones the size of the millstone, loaded them one by one, and stopped behind the catapults, providing stone bullets for the catapults at any time.

In addition, there were about 7,000 or 8,000 North Korean people, dressed in rags, forced to the edge of dirt bags by Jian prisoners with knives and guns. Looking at this posture, it is to force the North Korean people to carry dirt bags on their backs to fill the moat.

Everything looks ready to go.

At the head of the city, the Ming army and the Korean soldiers were also ready to fight, and a big battle was about to begin.

At this time, Huang Taiji, surrounded by many leaders of Jianyu, came out of the military camp majestically under the emperor's guard of honor.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Nearly 100,000 people, all kneeling on the ground, chanting in unison, the momentum is extraordinarily huge!

With a wave of Huang Taiji's hand, the heads of people outside the city stood up and down like waves.

Huang Taiji looked at all this, and his heart was extremely satisfied: the Qing army is invincible, and anyone who dares to be the enemy of the Qing Dynasty will be flattened by his own army!

Thinking so, he turned his head to look at Fan Wencheng, who was wearing armor and armor, and said: "Fan Qing, you go and shout, I will finally give Lu Xiangsheng a chance to surrender unconditionally immediately, otherwise the city of Pyongyang will be broken, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!" ”

When he said this, he remembered that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom had twice released high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty to come back and ask him to surrender unconditionally.

Hehe, this time, I also want the feudal officials of the Ming Kingdom to surrender unconditionally. Anyway, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is just talking, but I will never just talk, this is the last chance, and if I am obsessed and stubborn, the city of Pyongyang will be broken, and there will be absolutely no chickens and dogs.

Here, Fan Wencheng received the will and had to step forward and shout again.

But this time, Lu Xiangsheng didn't reply to him at all, and replied to him with a sharp arrow with a "whoosh".

Fortunately, Fan Wencheng had already taken precautions, and hurriedly raised the shield in his hand to block it in time.

With a "ding" sound, the sharp arrow fell to the ground, but it shook Fan Wencheng's arm and felt a little uncomfortable, which made him secretly surprised, this Lu Xiangsheng was born with divine power, and it really deserved its name!

Huang Taiji saw this situation in the distance behind, and he didn't need Fan Wencheng to come back to tell him, he knew what Lu Xiangsheng meant at the head of the city.

So, he stretched out his hand, drew his sword, raised it to the head of Pyongyang, and shouted: "Spread my will, attack the city!" ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

More than a dozen horns sounded at the same time, echoing in the sky over the city of Pyongyang, opening the prelude to the battle of Pyongyang.

Outside Pyongyang, Jianyu first forced the North Korean people to carry heavy bags of dirt with knives and guns, and began to rush towards the moat.

Of course, the city will not let them fill in the moat just because it is the Korean people. The rain of arrows began to cover, and as soon as it did, blood stained the land outside Pyongyang.

When the Korean people advance, they will be shot by the defenders of the city, and if they retreat, they will be executed on the spot by the prisoners who oversaw the war. In troubled times, human life is as cheap as a dog, and it is applicable to any people. At this moment, their lives are not even as good as dogs. Forced by the enemy, he died on this land outside the city of Pyongyang, and even his body was thrown into the moat.

At the same time, there was movement in the formation of the Jianyu army. One after another, the catapults, with the military orders handed down by the Jianyu, under the impetus of many Jianyu, began to move slowly together. Some huge catapults even use animal power to pull fibers.

Tens of thousands of Jianyu archers also marched towards the city of Pyongyang in groups. With their bows in hand, they spread out their formation, and when they were within range, they used their rain of arrows to approach the catapults to reduce unnecessary losses.

The war machine has been activated, and the battle for Pyongyang, from the very beginning, Jianyu used all his strength to deliver a thunderous blow to the city of Pyongyang.

At the head of Pyongyang City, Lu Xiangsheng watched all this, his face was calm, and then he passed down one military order after another.

By this time, the defenders at the head of the city had no time to be afraid. As the military order was handed down, it also began to move.

Outside the city, Huang Taiji pointed to the head of Pyongyang City and asked with a smile: "Do you think that when can Pyongyang City be launched?" ”

"Father and Emperor, the sons and daughters think that if you don't need to use an hour, the catapult will be thrown for a few rounds, and this Pyongyang City will be our Qing Dynasty!" Hauge was the first to reply, his voice was loud, joyful, and happy.

Yue Tuo also played with a smile: "Your Majesty kills chickens with a knife, it will definitely be decided in a battle!" ”

The others listened, and the sedan chair carried people, clearly wanting to go down to Pyongyang in a fight, and at this time they didn't say a word, that was to disagree with the emperor's wisdom and martial arts!

Huang Taiji listened to their words and immediately burst out laughing.

This battle really took him a lot of thought, and even mobilized most of the troops that could be mobilized in the Qing Dynasty, just for the sake of the goshawk to fight the rabbit, and the success of one blow did not allow the war to drag on for a long time.

Now, seeing all the results put into practice, Huang Taiji is of course happy, and there is a feeling of complacency.

However, at this moment, a horse suddenly came galloping, and looking at the flag he was carrying on his back, it turned out to be eight hundred miles urgent.

Except for the Jianguo who was involved in the war, all the other Jianguo couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw the messenger who was rushing for eight hundred miles, and they didn't know what was going on, so they turned their heads and paid attention.

Huang Taiji also saw it, and for some reason, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

When did this feeling begin? It seems to have been troubled by Dai Shan's guy! Could it be that this time, something bad happened all of a sudden?

Thinking so, the eight-hundred-mile urgent messenger arrived in front of the emperor, and the yellow coat stepped forward to stop and verify it, and immediately let it go in front of Huang Taiji's eyes.

"Your Majesty, Haizhou has been attacked by the Ming army, and 100,000 are in a hurry!" With this, the messenger fell to the ground, and even the long barrel containing the movement could not be removed from his body.

When Huang Taiji and the leader of the Jianyu around him heard this, they were all stunned. They never expected that Haizhou would be attacked by the Ming army, and 100,000 people rushed to ask for help. Isn't Dorgon in Tower Hill, where did this Ming army come from? What the hell is going on?

With doubts in his head, Huang Taiji hurriedly unfolded the piece of music that was forwarded by the yellow coat and immediately looked at it.

Everyone immediately stared at Huang Taiji, wanting to see something from his face first. At this time, the huge siege seemed to have been forgotten by them.

I saw Huang Taiji's eyes rolling, and after looking at it quickly for a while, suddenly, his face changed, and it became extremely ugly, even more ugly than when Xian Khan died.

In this 100,000 urgent recital from Haizhou, it is said that a large number of Ming cavalry appeared outside Haizhou, at least tens of thousands of horsemen, and they all carried a lot of money rat tail heads, preliminary verification, it should be the head of the Tashan Qing army, which means that the Qing army in Tashan, eight or nine times out of ten, is a fiasco, or the whole army is annihilated. Now Haizhou is in danger, and I implore Huang Taiji to send reinforcements as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Haizhou is lost, the Ming army will threaten Anshan Post Fort, the gateway to Liaoyang.

Huang Taiji flattened the cantata, his eyes reddened, and he looked up at the battle of Pyongyang that was beginning in front of him.

If he withdrew his troops to help him at this time, he would definitely be unwilling. I don't know how much thought it took him to lay out the battle of Pyongyang, how much manpower and material resources it took the Qing Dynasty, how could he return in vain! However, the soldiers are very fast, and the rescue of the soldiers is like fighting a fire, and it cannot be delayed.

However, he still didn't believe it in his heart, and felt that Haizhou's performance was exaggerated.

Not to mention anything else, in order to prevent this situation from happening, Huang Taiji asked Dolgon to lead more than 10,000 horses to garrison Tashan, just to prevent any changes on the side of the Guanning army. In addition, with his authorization, Dolgon went to negotiate with Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Kingdom, about the matter of King De. He believed that it was about the vassal king of the Ming Kingdom, and Hong Chengchou, as a courtier of the Zhu family, must be treated with care. If he still dares to send troops in this situation, then King De will definitely die, this responsibility, can Hong Chengchou afford it?

From all this, Huang Taiji once again confirmed that this piece must be exaggerated. With Dorgon's ability to calculate the time, it was only how many days had passed, and it was absolutely impossible to fail miserably.

Thinking about this, he came back to his senses and found that everyone was looking at him, and many of them were worried.

So, Huang Taiji's fat face suddenly showed a smile and said, "It's okay, it's just harassment by the Ming army!" Zhu Qing used his life to first take Pyongyang City, and then teach the Guan Ning army a lesson! ”
