At this time, at the head of the city of Xiangfu Mansion, Chen Biqian, the governor of Henan, was full of worry and anger, and he was accompanied by the commander Zhao Baotong and a group of civil and military officials to check the city defenses.

Looking at the pressure of the army outside the city, the black and oppressive Eight Banners soldiers were like mad dogs, yelling under the city, although they couldn't understand what they were yelling, but from their arrogant expressions and vulgar behavior, you can know.

"My lord, the Tartars are overwhelming, if they attack the city, I'm afraid that our army won't be able to hold out for a few days!"

Looking at the Eight Banners soldiers outside the city, the commander Zhao Baotong said with a worried face.

At this time, the Tartars were wanton, and even the important land of Gyeonggi was burned and looted by the Tartars, and the emperor also issued an edict to King Qin, calling on the world's soldiers and horses to enter King Qin.

At this time, it was obviously impossible to expect the imperial court to send reinforcements to rescue, and it was precisely because of this that these civil and military officials at the head of the city were like ashes one by one.

"Humph!"

Hearing Zhao Baotong's words, Governor Chen Biqian unceremoniously "snorted" and said: "I have 15,000 soldiers and horses defending the city, and I have the city as a support, facing only seven or eight thousand Tartars, General Zhao, you are actually described as the enemy army, you are really blind to a good ancestral shadow left by the ancestors of your Zhao family!" ”

Zhao Baotong was said by Chen Biqian, and suddenly his face turned the color of pig liver, and he wanted to have a seizure, but he didn't dare, so he had to hold himself!

When the other people saw Chen Biqian and Zhao Baotong, they all shook their heads and sighed.

Now that the Tartar army is pressing, one of them is the governor of a province, and the other is the commander of a guard, the two of them are so high and powerful, they should work together and hate the same enemy, but they don't want Chen Biqian to ridicule Zhao Baotong like this at this time, if Zhao Baotong leaves in a bad mood, then there will be no Tartar siege, and everyone will die directly without a place to be buried!

But fortunately, Zhao Baotong didn't know whether he knew the overall situation, or was used to being bullied by civil officials, and when Chen Biqian said this, he didn't leave, and he didn't say anything, which is rare.

Chen Biqian finished scolding Zhao Baotong, glanced at the civil and military officials next to him, and then said: "Everyone, now the Tartar soldiers are so strong, as the so-called life has not died since ancient times, and the Dan is left to take care of the sweat!" In this time of crisis, we should have no hesitation, and live and die with the city and the people! ”

After saying this, can others still contradict it, a group of officials have repeatedly said yes, and everyone has said that they will follow the example of the sages and break their bones, and they will not hesitate to do so.

made some impassioned words, Chen Biqian told Zhao Baotong: "General Zhao, as a commander, now that you are so military, it is your duty to bravely kill thieves and defend the country, you must take responsibility, from now on, you must eat and live in the city, always be on guard, and you must not give the Tartars a chance!" ”

What else can Zhao Baotong say, although he is angry in his heart, he has to clench his fists and take his life, and said: "The last general will not dare to slack off, and vow to live and die with the city!" ”

Seeing that he was so knowledgeable, Chen Biqian nodded with satisfaction, and was about to go down the city, but suddenly heard several firecracks from the city, followed by several thick smokes rising from the city, which was a signal for the enemy to attack the city!

"Report, my lord, general, the Tatars have begun to attack the city!"

"What?"

Everyone at the head of the city was shocked, and then they all looked at the Tartar soldiers outside the city, and saw that they had indeed begun to line up, and the drums shook the sky, and began to prepare for the siege.

Such a scene, everyone didn't expect it, now it's almost evening, plus the Tartars have come all the way from afar, such a time, no matter how you say it, you have to take a break, tomorrow to attack the city, who knows that they will do it now!

"My lord, the city ,,, the city is ,,, the city is dangerous, let's go back to the mansion first, and leave it to ,,, here to General Zhao!"

"Yes, yes, the matter of fighting still depends on General Zhao and them, we ,,, not only can't help here, but we want to add to the chaos!" ，，，

Seeing that the Tartars were about to launch a siege, many officials were so frightened that their faces were like blank sheets of paper, and they all spoke unfavorably.

"No, no one can leave today! Whoever dares to take half a step down from the city will be sentenced to death for the crime of escaping from the battle! ”

As the governor of a province and the backbone of the military and the people, although Chen Biqian has an arrogant temper, he still knows how to do it under major events, especially in the face of major rights and wrongs.

At this time, it is necessary to let all the soldiers and civilians in the city know the determination of their officials to defend the city to the death, only in this way can the people's hearts be settled, otherwise, the city will be like other cities, and the Tartars will collapse before they officially attack the city.

Under Chen Biqian's intimidation, all the officials did not dare to speak up, and they did not dare to go down to the city, they could stand here, which one had not seen the world, once they did not say a word correctly, or took a wrong step, it was very likely that Chen Biqian would use it to open the knife, kill the chicken and set an example, and when the time came, it would really be in vain!

Besides, that Azig, seeing the crowd at the head of the city, his face was full of disdain,

"These Ming dogs really have four hands and feet for nothing, so many people, they only dare to nest in the city as a shrinking turtle, and I don't know how you got the country back then!"

"Servant Enlighten Baylor, prepare for the siege."

"Let's start hunting!"

With a wave of his hand, Azig immediately came out of the great array of Tartar soldiers five or six hundred ragged people, all of them old men and women, and many half-grown children, all old and weak, and not a young man.

Driven by dozens of Tartar soldiers, they stumbled into the city.

"Sir, help us, sir, save us!"

"Help, sir, I don't want to die!" ，，，

Under the threat of the Tartar broadsword, the old and weak sent out one bitter and pitiful plea after another to the city.

There are two common tactics used by the Tartars to attack the city, one is to drive the old and weak people to give them the lead, and use these old and weak to demoralize the defenders, and if they have the opportunity, they will take advantage of the situation to attack the city.

The second is to use the city to open the door to them, they stole into the city in one fell swoop, Nurhachi was to use the city of Shenyang that should be opened in the city, otherwise, with the poor people of the Tartars at that time, they could not beat Shenyang City at all.

That battle was a crucial battle for the Tartars, and since then, Nurhachi has received millions of money, food, materials, and weapons and armor from Shenyang City, and this is the beginning of rapid development.
