The Later Jin army launched an attack at the beginning of the month, and the siege here was fiercer than that of Jinzhou.

Because the defenders of Dalinghe City are more than one level stronger than the defense skills of the rabble in Jinzhou.

The first artillery battle lasted for five days, and if it weren't for the absolute majority of the artillery fire of the Houjin army, the fort laid out by Zu Dashou at the head of the city would not have been destroyed.

This is completely the result of the defeat of the Ming army's reinforcements, and the number of Wuzhen Chaoha artillery originally built by the Red Gangster has no advantage compared with the layout of Dalinghe City.

However, Zhang Chun led more than 50,000 men and horses to bring in nearly 300 large and small artillery pieces, of which more than a dozen Hongyi cannons were bought from Guangdong.

With the artillery and gunners sent by the Ming Dynasty, Wuzhen Chaoha's combat effectiveness soared by more than three times, not only winning the artillery battle of Dalinghe City, but also destroying all the Houtai and forts in Dalinghe City.

In the end, Zu Dashou and He Kegang, who had no artillery, became unilaterally shelled by the Houjin army.

The Red Gangster captured too many artillery, gunpowder and cannonballs, and his approach to reducing the casualties of the ant siege was the same as that of Huang Han, but the pomp was more than ten times larger.

Huang Han only dispatched 26 field guns to bombard Jinzhou, while the Red Gangsters actually arranged 300 artillery pieces of various sizes to bombard Dalinghe City, which was half smaller than Jinzhou.

The Guanning army suffered casualties every day, the masonry and wood chips set off by the shelling were splashed, and there were very few soldiers who still had full beards and tails, and most of them were gray and bruised, and their morale plummeted.

In the continuous artillery bombardment, the Guanning army has lost one or two thousand troops, and now there are less than 7,000 soldiers who can still take up arms to fight.

Hundreds of Guanning soldiers were all disheartened, thinking that if this continued, wouldn't Dalinghe City be razed to the ground? Will the defenders be left with no bones?

The Guan Ning army in Dalinghe City was like a mourner, and they began to discuss whether the surrender promised by the slave chief to save his life could be trusted?

On the twenty-third day of the fourth year of Chongzhen, outside the west gate of the Daling River, 3,000 Jiannu drove more than 30,000 siege teams formed by Aha and Toucheng Ming Army to start the battle to seize the city.

From dawn to sunset, the Guanning army, which was good at defending the city, withstood the offensive of one day, and there were also two or three thousand casualties, and the soldiers who could still take up arms and continue the battle tomorrow were less than five thousand.

The losses of the besieging side in this battle reached double, and the attrition reached three or four thousand, but the losses of the children of the Eight Banners were very small, only more than 200 people, and most of the people killed in the battle were the Ming army of Baoyi Slaves and Toucheng.

Seeing that Guan Ningjun was still so tenacious, the red gangster's face couldn't help trembling, he was not worried that he would not be able to take Dalinghe City, but that he was worried that the consumption would outweigh the losses.

In order to earn performance and be a good minion, Jiang Xin stood up at this time and knelt down and said:

"The Great Khan, in the afternoon, personally led his men and horses to the city, and saw that the Ming army defending the city suffered heavy casualties and was demoralized. The humble position thought that the persuasion of surrender again would definitely be able to achieve miraculous results, and the humble post asked for the order to continue to persuade the ancestor to return to the Dajin Kingdom. ”

At this time, the dead horse was used as a live horse doctor, attacking by force during the day, and launching a psychological offensive at night complemented each other, and the worst result was that Jiang Xin was killed by Guan Ningjun.

The slave chief thought that it was harmless to die a soft bone and a new slave who was inferior to a pig and dog, and said:

"Jiang Aiqing is willing to go to Dalinghe City to persuade Zu Dashou to surrender is in line with my wishes, although it only takes two or three days for my Dajin army to break through the city, but in order not to let the lives be ruined, I still sincerely welcome Zu Dashou to understand the current affairs."

Jiang Xin kowtowed and said: "The Great Khan is kind-hearted, and his humble position must convey the Great Khan's goodwill to those Guan Ningjun who don't know the current affairs." ”

At midnight on the twenty-third day of the fourth lunar month of Chongzhen, Jiang Xin, who came to the city of Dalinghe to call out to his old acquaintance Zu Dashou, this time Zu Dashou appeared, inside and outside the city, it was too inconvenient to speak under the city, and Zu Dashou ordered the family to put down the hanging basket and pull Jiang Xin up.

The two talked for a long time, the specific content is unknown to outsiders, Jiang Xin left before dawn, and with him was the negotiator sent by Zu Dashou, Dusi Han Dong.

In the afternoon of the next day, the Houjin army did not continue to attack the already crumbling Xicheng, He Kegang noticed that something was wrong, he didn't expect Zu Dashou to betray the country to seek glory, because he and Zu Dashou had cooperated with him for many years and had a good relationship, and the two should know each other.

He Kegang was a gentleman and frank style, and actually ran to Zu Dashou to ask him face-to-face, at this time, Zu Dashou had already negotiated the surrender conditions with Jiannu and was ready to pack up the generals who might not surrender.

Seeing He Kegang's righteous and awe-inspiring blatant questioning, Zu Dashou was speechless, and dozens of henchmen of the ancestral family rushed forward under the leadership of Zu Kefa and Zu Zerun to tie up He Kegang, who was caught off guard.

At this time, He Kegang suddenly realized, he just sneered and didn't say a word.

Presumably, He Kegang's heart was extremely painful at this time, he hated himself for being blind, and he had been with an unfaithful and unrighteous villain like Zu Dashou for many years, and now he was going to die in the hands of the robe who he treated as a brother, what else could he say except sneer?

The development of the next story is the same as history, Dalinghe City fell into the hands of Jiannu, but the surrendered Guanning soldiers and horses were more than half less than in history, only five or six thousand, including more than 1,000 wounded and sick.

Zu Dashou and his lieutenants Liu Tianlu and Zhang Cunren were warmly welcomed by the Red Gangsters, and they were celebrating with wine for several days.

When the wine was hot, Zu Dashou vowed to make contributions to the Dajin Kingdom, and took the initiative to ask Ying to go and persuade the civil and military generals of Jinzhou to surrender.

He told the Red Gangster that there were still more than 10,000 people in Jinzhou's ancestral army, and that the commander of the army, Zu Dabi, was his cousin, Zu Kuan was the son of the ancestral family, and Wu Xiang, the chief military officer, was his brother-in-law.

After thinking about it, he thought that it would be harmless to let Zu Dashou try it, so in order to prevent accidents, he left all the generals of the ancestral family in the army, and only asked Zu Dashou to take a dozen people to Jinzhou on foot to persuade him to surrender.

When Zu Dashou came to Jinzhou to show his identity, it was easy to enter the city, because the defenders knew him, and the Jinzhou guards were either Zu Dashou's old subordinates or relatives of the ancestral family.

Dalinghe City has been lost for a few days, there are too many surrendered troops, the number of people is about to catch up with the soldiers of the Eight Banners who went out to fight, it is more difficult to take care of Jiannu, and every day there are surrendered Ming troops fleeing.

The five or six thousand soldiers who came out of Dalinghe City may not all be willing to surrender to Jiannu, and dozens of people slipped away while Jiannu and Guanning surrendered to the generals and the Ming generals of the Battle of Changshan drank and celebrated.

One or twenty people ran back to Jinzhou, and Qiu Hejia, the governor of Liaodong, had learned that Dalinghe City had failed, and Zu Dashou had killed He Kegang and surrendered to Jiannu.

Although Qiu Hejia was a civil official from a high background, he had a loyal heart, and he did not have the idea of surrendering, but actively prepared to deal with Jiannu's thunderous offensive.
