The man who was chosen to be sent was none other than Azig, the king of Dorovuying.

On August 20, Azig led Gushan Beiziboluo and other Baylors to attack Tashan and Xingshan Post at night, and Wang Xixian, the Ming general who garrisoned the two places, thought that the Songshan army was stationed in front of him, and everything was fine, and there was no fortification at all.

At that time, Wang Xixian was sleeping soundly, but the shouts of killing suddenly sounded from all sides, and when the cavalry of the Qing army suddenly appeared in front of him, he was not even wearing his armor neatly, and he was immediately dumbfounded.

Azig led the Qing army into Tashan, caught off guard, the Ming army did not resist much at all, almost by the cavalry fluttering rush scattered and fled, the deputy general Wang Xixian was captured alive, and later surrendered to the Qing army.

Looking at the jubilant discussions of the princes and ministers below, Huang Taiji's anxious mood finally settled down slightly, and he was about to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his face turned red violently, and he endured it for a while, and finally spurted black blood with a "poof".

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, how are you?"

When he raised his head, Huang Taiji's face was no longer majestic, but he showed an extremely tired and pale face, although Dolgon's face was also full of anxiety, but somehow, he didn't move much.

"Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon body, I can't do without you in the Qing Dynasty~!"

A man dressed as a scribe suddenly fell to his knees crying, looking like that, he didn't know and thought that his father had died.

Coughing a few times, Huang Taiji waved his hand and said:

"Mr. Fan, hurry up."

This scribe with a mustache on his face is Fan Wencheng, a scholar with the army, and he is also the first traitor in later generations.

Fan Wencheng was a person who tried his best to let the Qing army enter the Central Plains, and he made a lot of suggestions for many harsh decrees and measures against the Han people, and he also made a lot of efforts when recruiting Wu Bashi, the defender of the outer city of Jinzhou.

In the end, even the hometown ballad of the Ming army in the city was learned, and people were sent to sing it all day long, which was the successful surrender of the outer city of Jinzhou, and Huang Taiji trusted him very much.

After Fan Wencheng got up, he immediately got off the donkey down the slope and stood directly on the right side of Huang Taiji, although his face was not arrogant, but he looked very proud.

......

The Qing army seems to have concluded that Hong Chengchou did not dare to attack easily, so on the same day, from the west to the south of Jinzhou, through the Songxing Avenue, until Haikou, dug three large trenches in a row, eight feet deep and more than a foot wide, and the men and horses could not pass, putting the Ming army in the encirclement.

Three days later, the Ming army camp outside Rufeng Mountain was still panicked, discussing how to retreat all the time.

Hong Chengchou didn't want to come out this time, and he didn't expect that Huang Taiji would come to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, and the army only brought three days of dry food, which was already the last day, and it couldn't be delayed any longer.

That night, the camp tent of the governor of the Ming army has been heard from the quarrels and discussions of various generals, and finally, due to the lack of food, it was decided to withdraw to Ningyuan to get grain, and then the decisive battle.

That night, it had been set according to the plan, and the Yutian commander-in-chief Cao Bianjiao's troops were brave and asked them to retreat first, and the remaining troops took advantage of the chaos to withdraw in batches, and finally met in Ningyuan.

However, there are always accidents, and Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, has always been timid and afraid, but this time he ran to the front.

As soon as he returned from the camp of the governor of Hong Chengchou, he immediately led his troops to flee at night, and his soldiers and horses were already in chaos when they left the camp, and they were crowded everywhere.

This is not the worst, how could others sit idly by when Wang Pu ran like this, and naturally rushed to flee, Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Ningyuan, Ma Ke, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and Li Fuming, the chief soldier of Shanxi, followed almost in the next moment with their own soldiers and horses.

No one wants to stay behind and wait for death, and everyone is scrambling to be the first to run away, and they are extremely brave.

Huang Taiji and Dolgon obviously expected that the Ming army would strive to break through, and had already set up ambushes at various intersections to Songshan, but they did not expect the Ming army to be directly defeated.

Just when the Ming troops of all departments were in chaos and desperate to escape, shouts of killing suddenly sounded from all sides, and the Qing soldiers rushed out.

Wang Pu ran first, and his troops and horses collapsed immediately after being ambushed, and the speed and degree of collapse were so fast and complete that they should be said to be the first of all towns.

Followed by Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Ningyuan, he ran in the second, not much better, in the middle of the night everywhere shouted to kill, the Qing soldiers rushed over with a bang, to this known "brave name" general was so frightened that he ran away overnight, and he didn't dare to turn his head back.

Wang Pu got away with it this time, and when he ran back, he was alone, and even the pro-soldiers didn't know where they were lost, Wu Sangui only fled back to Shanhaiguan with dozens of family members in embarrassment, if Wang Pu was a hundred steps, he would be fifty steps.

In fact, when Hong Chengchou knew that the soldiers and horses in each town had been dispersed, Wu Sangui had already run back to Shanhaiguan, and it was obviously too late to run again at this time.

Ning Yuan couldn't go, so he could only retreat, so after a short period of thought, Hong Chengchou retreated into Songshan City with the remaining four general soldiers and soldiers and horses from various towns, but now he was a remnant of the defeated army, and he was helpless.

Not long after, after hearing the news, Huang Taiji ordered the tent to be moved, and the army was arranged outside Songshan City to besiege the Ming army in the city, and set up several ambushes between Songshan and Xingshan, and ordered a Baylor to strictly observe the daily newspaper every three miles.

Since then, the inside and outside of Matsuyama have been cut off, and birds are not allowed to enter or leave.

The hundreds of thousands of troops assembled by the famous general Hong Chengchou led out of the customs, plus the food and ordnance required for a year, this is already the last bit of combat power that the Ming Dynasty has put together, I thought it could be successful, but the news came shocked the whole world, and the government and the opposition were shaken.

On September 16, the 14th year of Chongzhen, the Ming army was defeated outside Songshan City, the commanders competed for gallop, the horses trampled on each other, the food and salary were lost, the 130,000 army was defeated and scattered, and now there are only less than 100,000 remnants of the remnants of the trapped beast Songshan in the lonely city.

Emperor Chongzhen was shocked when he heard the news, this kind of defeat has been enough to shake the country's capital, from then on it is tea and dinner without thinking, sleepless at night, above the court discussion, the ministers of the ministries and courts are also less fierce quarrels in the past, looking at each other but not saying a word.

......

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Thirty miles southwest of Songshan Fort, an army was rumbling forward, and because of the sheer number of people, only the sound of footsteps on the sand could be heard.

At the head was a piece of iron armor, it seemed that there were thousands of people, behind them a fine light shining brightly, tens of thousands of soldiers in red clothes and iron armor carried tiger guns on their shoulders, steel guns were like a forest, and even the movements were uniform.

The flag officer in the army carried two large flags, one of which was naturally the "king" flag, but the most conspicuous was the Daming Xuanniao flag that hunted in the wind.

At the same time, in the distant Liaodong Bay, a naval division composed of hundreds of ships was sailing with the wind, and two ironclad generals stood at the bow of the ship, looking in the direction of Shengjing, their faces solemn.
