Chapter 321 Persuasion
Early in the morning, Huang Taiji sat on the hill in the south of the city as usual, and sat and watched the situation in the city of Dalinghe.
He looked at it, and naturally saw the scene of the Jingbianbao army and the Liao army attacking and disturbing his own side, which was also normal.
The hot air balloon attack was also expected by him, and he was a little helpless against this new weapon of the Ming army, so he could only watch it go to his own camp.
But of course, when he saw that all the banners had violated their own orders and attacked under the city of Dalinghe, they were shelled by the defenders of the city and fired with bows and arrows, and they were immediately furious.
He kicked over his horse, drew his knife in his hand, looked around the left and right, and shouted angrily: "I have a strict order, when the Ming army attacks and provokes, it can only be repulsed, not pursued, but the 8 banners do not listen to my orders." rushed to the city rashly, and was killed and injured by the artillery arrows on the city of the Ming army. The order was sent down, and all banners were strictly ordered to strengthen the mountain and the banner Baylor, and not to send people to reinforce the rebels who rushed to Dalinghe City.
If he returns, no one is allowed to visit the wounded, and no one is allowed to visit them, and the dead in the battle will not be given bereavement benefits, and those who rush to the city of Daling River and kill the Ming army will not be allowed to take credit. Officers who take the lead in disobeying orders will be fined for half a year and demoted to one level. Go quickly and give orders to the banners, the mountains, the Ezhen, and the banners of the banners. ”
"Pierce." The guards were frightened when they saw Huang Taiji's thunderous rage, and they hurriedly rode their horses and galloped to each battalion to give orders.
Seeing that the Great Khan was so angry, of course they did not dare to send any more men to reinforce their own men and horses who were fighting hard under the city.
Seeing that the situation was not good, those Houjin soldiers retreated separately.
After a while, he heard a muffled thunderous sound from the west and north, and then a thick cloud of smoke rose from the west and north camps of his house.
"What happened there in the two yellow flags and the two red flags, find out quickly, and report it quickly." Huang Taiji ordered in a lower voice.
"Pierce." His own guards rode their horses to inquire about the news.
As soon as the escort left, a white-flaged escort came to report the news.
"Report, Your Majesty the King of Khan, Dolgon Belle sent his servants to report, this banner soldiers and horses fought with the Ming army today, and captured 3 enemy soldiers." The white-flaged guard half-knelt on the ground and prayed.
"That's true!" Huang Taiji was pleasantly surprised.
"Where do the minions dare to deceive His Majesty the King of Khan." The protector whispered.
"Where are the captives?" Huang Taiji asked.
"Just at the foot of the mountain, Lord Belle heard that you urgently need the raw mouth in Dalinghe City, so I ordered the slave to send it quickly." The white-flaged escort replied.
"Yes, very good. Well done Dorgon, I have my own reward, go down and get 100 taels of silver. ”
Huang Taiji remembered that the white flag protector brought good news, and it was a Annunciation bird, and he specially rewarded 100 taels of silver.
You can get 100 taels of silver for sending a letter, how can such a good thing not make people happy.
The white-flaged guards immediately kowtowed with a smile and said, "The slave has thanked His Majesty the Khan for the generous reward." ”
"Go and bring those few mouthfuls, I have something to ask them." Huang Taiji ordered to the guards beside him.
"Pierce."
When several guards got the order, they went straight down the hill with the white flag guards who came to report the news, and carried the three captured Liao soldiers up the mountain, and then forcibly pressed them down and knelt in front of Huang Taiji.
The three Liao prisoners were wounded at this time, their hair was scattered, and they were tightly tied, like a big zongzi.
They all looked at Huang Taiji expressionlessly, neither afraid nor begging for mercy, looking like they put life and death out of the way.
These Liao troops often fought with the Houjin soldiers on the territory of eastern Liao, and Huang Taiji was an important target of the enemy army, because these Liao army generals knew who the person wearing the blue coiled dragon battle armor in front of them was, this was Huang Taiji, the lord of the Dajin Kingdom, but they seemed to be not afraid.
If you say that after the scholar who has read history books and knows how to distinguish between Huayi and Huayi is arrested, he looks like this, Huang Taiji can still understand it, but these little soldiers don't beg for mercy after seeing themselves, which is a little strange.
If you have doubts, you have to find out the truth.
"Who are you?" Huang Taiji asked in Liaodong Chinese.
The three Liao prisoners only did not hear about it and did not answer.
"Bastard, His Majesty the Khan asks you questions and other questions, and if you don't answer quickly, you will be broken into ten thousand pieces." Seeing that his Great Khan's question was not answered, a protector drew a knife in his hand and casually put it on the neck of a Liao prisoner, and said hatefully.
The knife was extremely sharp, and when it touched the neck of the Liao army, it cut a small opening, and blood seeped out at once.
However, such threats still seemed to be ineffective, and the Liao soldiers still kept their mouths shut, without meaning to speak.
"If you wait for a good life to speak, I can spare you and wait for you not to die, and then stay in my Dajin to serve, as long as you have merit, wealth and glory, gold and silver treasures, children and jade silks, you can enjoy it endlessly." Huang Taiji persuaded him with great sincerity.
"Hehe, shameless barbarian, the surrendered officials and people in Yongping City were all killed by you. If we surrender, we are traitors to Daming, our reputation is damaged, our family is disgraced, and then we are brutally killed by you and others, and we are not pleasing to both sides. If you surrender, you will die, if you don't surrender, you will die, it is better not to surrender and leave a good reputation. A Liao prisoner replied coldly with a disdainful face.
When Huang Taiji heard this, his face couldn't help but stiffen, his brows furrowed, and he said hatefully in his heart: "Stupid and stupid Amin, Yongping killed and surrendered, so that my unrighteous name of Dajin spread far and wide in the world, and the Ming army was worried that our army would surrender, not only would it not surrender, but it would also resist desperately."
If all the Ming officers and civilians have the heart to fight to the death, I am afraid that I will have to face a vicious battle every time I attack the city in the future, and I am afraid that I will pay a heavy price, this is not good, Zhushen has few people, can not bear huge casualties, Liaodong is poor, do not cut down the Ming, can not survive, if we want to forge ahead again, we must reverse this unfavorable situation. ”
After Huang Taiji thought about it in his heart, he said to the captured Liao soldiers with a pleasant face: "You don't know, Yongping slaughtered the city because Amin did not obey Ben Khan's orders and did it without permission, and I have locked him out of prison." Now, I have issued a strict order, and if there are soldiers of the Southern Dynasty who will return the officials and people to my Dajin, I Dajin will treat them well and nurture them. I am the lord of the Dajin Kingdom, the king of a country as mentioned by the Ernan Dynasty, and you also know that you have no jokes. ”
A superior person doesn't need to lie to a few nobodies from enemy countries, and the three captured Liao soldiers looked at each other a few times, and their hearts were already a little moved.
After all, he is still young and in the prime of life, who doesn't want to live a few more years, he is also paid as a soldier, and his salary is the same.
The changes in the expressions of these captured soldiers of the Liao army could not escape the sharp eyes of Huang Taiji.
"Time is running out! Those who surrender first will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver, the second one will be rewarded without punishment or reward, and the third one who will surrender will be killed even if he is willing to surrender. If you don't surrender, it's useless to stay, and I will kill you all. Huang Taiji's expression suddenly turned solemn, and he said coldly.
All the guards 'bell', all drew their knives in their hands, and stared murderously at the few Liao prisoners in front of them.
The atmosphere was extremely solemn for a while, and those Liao army prisoners looked at me, and I looked at you, with complicated eyes.
"Time is running out, you wait and think about it." Huang Taiji's voice floated over.
"To descend or not to descend?" The protectors roared.
Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from the foreheads of the Liao captives.
