Hauge has long been unconvinced of Dolgon, he is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and now he is also a prince, and he has quite a lot of military achievements, and he also has some supporters among the Manchu nobles.

Many people see him as the prince, the next emperor of the Qing Dynasty. But this fourteenth uncle Dorgon, who has been praised and pampered by his grandfather Nurhachi since he was a child, is not much different from him, but he oppresses him everywhere, which already makes him very unhappy.

This time he went to Datong, I thought I would be the boss, but I didn't expect Huang Taiji to hand over the coach to Dolgon, which made him even more unhappy.

The 50,000 troops of the Qing Kingdom came to the city of Datong, and Dolgon sent an envoy into the city to persuade him to surrender, but he did not expect that the messenger was thrown off the city wall by someone with his head cut off, which completely angered Dolgon, who wanted to fight a battle, so he ordered the siege of the city without waiting for the red-coated cannon to arrive.

The Ming army was not good at field battles, but it was still very experienced in defending the city. Under the attack of the Qing soldiers who were not afraid of death, the Ming army used rolling wood, stones, gold juice (that is, boiling hot dung water), stones, bows and arrows and other sharp weapons to defend the city again and again to drive the Qing soldiers who were attacking upwards with cloud ladders from the city, causing huge casualties to the Qing soldiers.

And all kinds of artillery at the head of the city also rang out from time to time, which made the Qing soldiers suffer heavy losses.

Although Dolgon watched the corpses of the Qing soldiers being dragged down, he still ordered a non-stop attack.

In less than two days, less than half of the 10,000 Han Eight Banner Army besieging the city was left, and the 10,000 Mongolian Eight Banner Army also lost thirty percent, but Datong City was still standing firmly in front of him, and the Ming army flag on the head of the city was still flying high.

Only then did Dorgon realize that the Qing army was still the army that was not good at attacking cities, and the prestige of the field could not allow them to take Datong City in a word.

Of course, he didn't care about how many Han and Mongol people died, all he cared about was whether his majesty and authority as a commander would be questioned and challenged.

No, someone immediately came to challenge, or Hauge, who he had always looked down on.

In Dolgon's eyes, Haug was a simple-minded reckless man who was not qualified to compete with him, let alone become a prince.

Dolgon has ambitions for that position, which many people can see, and he also has the strength and ability.

So the disagreement with Hauge is basically an obvious fact.

"Hmph, as the deputy marshal, I can't watch you let the warriors of the Qing Dynasty die in vain, you must order to stop the siege." Every time Hauge was suppressed by Dolgon as an uncle, he had already accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, and at this time he shouted desperately.

"Hauge, I am the boss here, and I will explain all the consequences to the emperor, and it is not your turn to dictate to me. If you dare to roar loudly in front of me again, I will order you to be beheaded, and the emperor will have nothing to say. Dolgon, already troubled in his heart, immediately shouted when he saw Haug so provoking his majesty.

Hauge froze, suppressed by Dolgon's momentum, glared at Dolgon hatefully, and finally turned around and got off the lookout with a cold snort.

Listening to the heavy and hurried footsteps of Hauge as he went down, Dolgon breathed a sigh of relief, calmed himself down, and instructed one of the Geshha (personal guards) next to him: "Hurry up and urge that dog slave to keep up, let him speed up and catch up, and tomorrow when the sun rises, you can't see the red-coated cannon, just wait to lose your head." ”

After Geshha had been ordered to leave, Dorgon ordered the siege to continue.

This king was supposed to order the siege to be stopped, but since you Hauge said it, then this king can't let others think that this king is afraid of you.

Many people heard the struggle between the two on the lookout just now, so naturally Dolgon would not immediately order a halt to the siege.

As the whining horn sounded again, countless Qing soldiers shouted again, carrying the ladder and rushing towards the city wall, and the Ming army at the head of the city also came out and began to prepare for defense.

At this time, a number of heralds of the Qing army also rode their horses to the quilt to find the dead Tong Yangxing to convey Prince Rui's orders.

………………

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, there was not a trace of clouds in the entire sky, and the leaves on the trees in Liaoyang City were roasted and rolled up by the scorching sun, and countless people kept making noise between the branches.

After the army set out, the remaining more than 1,000 old and weak defenders in Liaoyang were also lazy by the scorching sun, whether they were on duty at the city gate or patrolling on the city wall, they were all weak, and many people were hiding in the shade with spears in their hands and napping in the shade.

Since taking Liaoyang City from the Ming army five years ago, the Ming army has not appeared in Liaoyang City next time. Everyone knows that Daming is now suffering from external and internal troubles, and the sun is twilight. Not to mention recapturing Liaoyang City, being able to hold Datong City is already regarded as burning high incense.

When Liaoyang City was just captured, the Qing army was still very cautious and was wary of the Ming army going north to capture the city.

But year after year, Liaoyang City has not even seen a shadow of the Ming army, so naturally this defense has been relaxed.

This time, the 50,000-strong army went to Datong, and everyone knew that it was impossible for the Ming army to have the strength to do other things, so this defense and vigilance were even lower to a level.

On the plain to the south, a sound like muffled thunder suddenly sounded, and it swept over quickly from south to north, and smoke and dust rose everywhere, forming a black line that moved rapidly towards Liaoyang City.

The sound became louder and louder, and finally woke up a few Qing soldiers who were hiding in the shade and dozing off at the corner of the city tower with spears in their arms.

"What's that?" A Qing soldier rubbed his eyes and poked his companion next to him, asking in confusion.

The companion widened his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and hesitated: "It seems to be a large group of cavalry, could it be Prince Rui and their victorious class?" ”

"Obediently, Prince Rui is amazing, it's only been three days, and this Datong City has been taken, and this time it's really a great achievement. I think Prince Rui is likely to be the next Great Khan. ”

The Qing Kingdom was changed from the time of Huang Taiji to the emperor, and in the past, Nurhachi had always been called the Great Khan, but it had only been changed for a few years, so many people were still used to being called the Great Khan.

"That's not good, this time Prince Su is also the deputy marshal, and he has made meritorious contributions. Prince Su is the eldest son of the emperor, and it is very possible to inherit the throne. ”

These two Qing soldiers looked at the cavalry rushing in the distance, and gossiped about the Qing royal family.

"Look, what's written on that banner?" Suddenly, a Qing soldier pointed at the city and shouted.

Although the cavalry was getting closer and closer, a big banner with the word "Jiang" written on it gradually showed more and more clearly in front of the Qing soldiers in Liaoyang under the scorching sun.
