There is a fish in the northern underworld, and its name is Kun. The pen and the fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is, and it turns into a bird, and its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.

For He Shixian, outside Shenyang in the early spring of 1621, everything that happened was like a big dream.

Since the Battle of Salhu two years ago, the main force of the Ming army outside the pass has suffered serious losses, so that the proportion of veterans serving in the serving Ming army has dropped greatly. In the battle of Fengjibao a few days ago, the deputy general Zhu Wanliang did not dare to fight the enemy and fled without a fight.

The news that Jifeng Fort was lost and the defenders fled without a fight for several days made the morale of the Ming army in Shenyang extremely low. In addition, what made He Shixian, the chief soldier of Shenyang, even more annoyed was that there were currently less than 30,000 Ming troops stationed in Shenyang, and if the auxiliary soldiers were excluded, the number of soldiers who could fight would be less than 20,000. He Shixian originally hoped to gather those routs who had fled back from Jifeng Fort to defend Shenyang, but for several days, there were very few soldiers who fled back.

Before the siege of Houjin was closed, the distress letter requesting reinforcements had been personally sent to Liaoyang by the eunuch of Shenyang Town, and Yuan Yingtai, the economic strategy of Liaodong, had also organized rescue and was coming. Since yesterday, Houjin began to provoke and prepare for the siege of the city, and the situation in Shenyang has become so tense that even the resignation of the prefect Chen Fuke has to be stopped.

Two hours ago, the Houjin army officially attacked the city of Shenyang, and they successively filled in the trenches around the city wall, and now they were about to climb the wall and take the city after a little rest. The artillery of the Ming army roared for a while before, and now it has also entered the cooldown, and the Houjin army will obviously not let go of this excellent opportunity to attack.

Watching Jiannu's shield cart cross the trench and approach the city wall is tantamount to placing the next battle site on the city wall, and the experienced He Shixian will not sit still, he will let the rhythm of the battlefield be controlled by himself no matter what.

He Shixian and the deputy commander-in-chief You Shigong discussed it, and he was ready to use his own generals to form elite cavalry to take the initiative to carry out a battle. On the one hand, it was necessary to boost the morale of the Ming army, and on the other hand, it was hoped that the shield carts of the Tartars would be destroyed. This will buy some time for future defense. Fighting at the door of one's own house has the solidity of the city, and the cavalry can still escape calmly if they can't beat it, and it is expected that the Tartars are helpless.

Yesterday, several small-scale attempts by the Tartars were easily repulsed, and the deputy commander-in-chief You Shigong also beheaded several thieves. The weak performance of the Tartar made He Shixian and You Shigong's hearts feel a little relieved, and they both thought that the Tartar had been running around for days and made the division veterans tired. Therefore, today He You and the two felt that they could control the rhythm of the battlefield and win some battlefield initiative by using small-scale attacks.

The purpose of the attack was simple: to repel the Tartar attack with the cover of fire from the city walls, and then use the terrain to defend the section of the trench ahead and burn the shield carts on the inside of the trench. In this way, it was possible to delay the attack of the Ginnu and buy time for the arrival of reinforcements.

Before leaving the city, He Shixian drank three glasses of spirits, his hair was furious, and he yelled in all directions: "Return with all the enemies!" ”

"Kill, kill, kill!" The families will echo.

He Shixian's frenzied actions frightened several civil officials who were distributing money and food when they heard the news. The actual situation in the city is also very clear to the civil officials, at this time, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and everyone will be spared if the city falls. For the sake of their families and friends, the cautious civil officials trotted all the way to the prefect's yamen. The civil servants wept bitterly and were about to tell Chen Fuke what they had seen.

The prefect Chen Fuke's ancestral hometown is Nanzhili, a person from Yangzhou, who was raised during the Wanli period, dressed in an official robe, and matched with the scholar's reading atmosphere, which looks calm and elegant. It is in stark contrast to He Shixian, who is from Yulin, who is rugged and heroic.

Chen Fuke was discussing with his staff about the preparation of grain and grass in the city, when he suddenly heard the words of the civil official, and shouted, "The husband misunderstands me!" Then he rushed out of the yamen like a frightened rabbit.

When Chen Fuke rushed to the south gate out of breath, He Shixian had already ordered the generals. He Shixian was dressed in armor and was about to leave the city with an iron broadsword in his hand. Chen Fuke desperately squeezed through the crowd, rushed out and hugged He Shixian's calf, and said bitterly: "Today, the thief chief is coming in a big way, the walls of Shenyang are high and deep, and the buildings are strict, as long as we are united, the thief chief will definitely return in vain, why should He Zongbing risk the arrows himself?" ”

He Shixian drank three glasses of spirits, his mind became bolder, and he was no longer so afraid of the civil official in front of him. He turned his head and clasped his fists on the horse and said: "Lord Prefect, if there is no chance after leaving the city, I can return in an instant, if Jiannu is defeated, I can take advantage of the situation to burn the shield car, so that our defense of the city will be foolproof, and please prepare good food and drinks, just sit and wait for the news."

"With the advantage of artillery, why not be afraid of the shield car, please be cautious and dismount to defend the city with me!"

He Shixian was stopped by Governor Chen's mansion, knowing that if he continued to ramble on the attack, the opportunity would be fleeting. Thinking of this, he smiled and scolded with a wine heart: "You old man, I have General You soldiers to sweep the battle in the city, and I can return with all the enemy today, and I also ask the prefect to go back to the yamen to rest, and I will come when I go." After saying that, he laughed and slapped his horse away.

Looking at the departing He Shixian, Chen Fuke felt extremely bitter. At this time, he couldn't think of a way to stop He Shixian, so he had to return to the yamen in frustration.

Chen Fuke was surrounded by civilian officials, and the officials and personal soldiers were all assigned to various places two days ago to maintain order in the city. There are many people around him who are missing and the information is not clear, and Chen Fuke feels that this is a problem. The Ming Dynasty respected civilian officials, but he had always entrusted the military of Shenyang City to two commanders. Chen Fuke knew that Shenyang was a strategic location, and he was not very sure about the military, so it was better to let it go than to rush his life, and his staff persuaded him not to do this. Chen Fuke has always felt that although He Shixian seems to be vulgar, he is also a person who is conscientious in his duties, and he is even more proud of his achievements in front of him, which also makes Chen Fuke firmly believe in his decision.

But today's He Shixian is desperate and does not listen to advice, which makes Chen Fuke unhappy in his heart. Chen Fuke thought to himself, he still had to beat and beat to deal with this group of veterans.

He Shixian, who went out of the city to fight at this time, never thought that he had been remembered. With the piercing sound of metal thumping, while the knife was still young, He Shixian violently changed the blade, and in the blood shadow spray, he killed another small leader. Today, Jiannu couldn't help fighting, and before a stick of incense was reached, he collected more than a dozen heads, and he only injured one person and his life was worry-free. The generals also saw it in their eyes, and they were even more murderous, and they forced the momentum of the enemy army to be suppressed. The shield car was almost burned, and the Houjin attacking team could not stop the offensive of the Ming army, and began to choose to retreat in a panic.

The trenches filled by Houjin were only part of the offensive section, and most of the trenches remained intact. At this time, under the sudden counterattack of the Ming army, the will to survive was accompanied by panic, and some Houjin soldiers actually rolled down into a trench several meters deep. He Shixian didn't care about the fish and meat on the chopping board, and shouted at the top of his voice: "The enemy army is defeated, all the sons, the meritorious service is today, follow me"

After saying that, He Shixian slapped his horse and chased after him, and the generals behind him also rushed out of the inner position of the trench.

The defeated Houjin army consisted mainly of infantry and cavalry. For the cavalry, He Shixian knew that there was no good way to annihilate them all. Jiannu is good at mounted archery, and the casualty rate of his own team will generally be higher during the chase. Most of the infantry in Jiannu's attack this time was actually more of an auxiliary army, with courage but lack of fighting spirit. And the remaining real Houjin infantry, when facing He Shixian's generals on horseback and slashing and killing, can only wait for death after exhaustion.

He Shixian has always believed in his grasp of the opportunity of the battlefield situation, so when he led his team to rush into the crowd of fleeing Jiannu infantry, he never imagined that he would almost disappear today.

At this time, in the Houjin tent on the north bank of the muddy waters, Nurhachi was holding his breath and listening to a young man in the tent.

"Father Khan, although the sons and daughters have shown weakness for two consecutive days, according to the spies, the Ming cavalry is only a breath away from the city wall, and I think we still need to continue to lure the enemy."

"Eighth child, it's not your slave who is emotional, you don't care, what are these dogs, as long as I go into battle, it's not a fart to kill him, don't give your father an idea sourly."

It was Nurhachi's fifth son, Mang Gurtai, who spoke, and although the second elder brother Daishan repeatedly gave him glances, Mang Gurtai still turned a blind eye. Why should you lure the enemy to my people?

Nurhachi snorted heavily, and glared at Mang Gurtai again, and Mang Gurtai couldn't help but feel a sudden feeling in his heart. Mang Gurtai immediately pressed the words into his heart deeply. In recent years, his father Khan was irritable and moody, first killed his eldest brother Chu Ying, and last year forced his second brother to kill his wife and deprive his second brother of the crown prince. If I continue, I'm afraid it won't be good. Mang Gurtai lowered his head and looked at the cow felt on the ground.

Nurhachi no longer persecuted Mang Gurtai, turned his head to look at the young man in the middle and said: "Huang Taiji, you came up with this idea today, and you will issue the military orders behind, and those who do not listen to the command will not be spared." Nurhachi took a deep breath, coldly glanced at the people in the tent, waved his hand and told them to leave.

"Wow!"

A group of elder brothers came out of the big tent in turn.

Huang Taiji saw that Nurhachi had put the command in his hands, and he couldn't help but feel happy, this was his father Khan inspecting himself, and he had to perform well today to win Shenyang City. If it falls into the eyes of his father, it is not impossible for him to win the Khan throne one day. Huang Taiji summoned the heralds, and according to the previously planned battle ideas, the heralds rushed to the front of the battle.

Today, Nurhachi's sons did not go to the front of the battle, but let a Kela Ezhen take command at the front. Huang Taiji knew that if the elder brothers watched the battle in front of the formation, coupled with the large number of his own soldiers and retinue, he was afraid that his strategy of luring the enemy would be affected, so he simply fought remotely in the rear. The situation of the battle was developing in the direction he had envisioned, and Huang Taiji unconsciously showed a smile on his face.

Huang Taiji glanced sideways at Da Belle Daishan. After the news of Shishan's abuse of Shuoto spread last year, Daishan's position as crown prince was abolished. And the descendant Shan was forced by his father Khan to kill his wife and apologize, and Dai Shan's year can be described as extremely embarrassing. Dai Shan was not happy to lose the position of heir to the country, and Huang Taiji naturally knew it. Although Dai Shan at this time, nine times out of ten, has no chance to be the crown prince, Huang Taiji still has no intention of provoking Dai Shan's hatred.

Huang Taiji said: "Second brother, you have rich experience in the military formation, and you have been with your father Khan for many years, if you stay in the little brother and the battlefield is not well, please ask the second brother to give more guidance to the younger brother." ”

Huang Taiji turned sideways and bowed his hand to express his gratitude. Dai Shan put away his solemn face, stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, he said slowly: "The eighth brother's tactics are already pure love, and the elder brother is also willing to bow to the wind, presumably the Ming army at this time has been lured away from the city wall, we don't need to avoid it here, let's go, let's go to the front of the battle to watch the battle together." ”

Saying that, Dai Shan squinted his eyes and glanced at Mang Gurtai, and motioned for him to go together. Mang Gurtai didn't say anything, his face was full of gloom.

"I said Fifth Brother, don't be upset, if the city is broken today, the first credit will definitely be you, I have discussed it with my father Khan."

"Fart, you fooled me again, I contributed people and efforts, there were so many casualties, how about I ask Lao Ba to borrow some soldiers to supplement my combat strength after the war?" Mang Gurtai was unhappy, and when he saw that Huang Taiji wanted to make him happy, he simply stroked it to the end.

Huang Taiji smiled and said: "The fifth brother wants to borrow troops, and the younger brother naturally agrees, but I'm afraid that those minions are used to it under me, and they can't get used to the fifth brother's side, so why don't I give the fifth brother an extra share after the city is broken?" “

Mang Gurtai thought to himself, Huang Taiji, who is as slippery as a loach, this sentence is true. Everyone is calling back and forth, it's not a winter, and it's almost consumed and needs to be replenished. Since Huang Taiji is righteous, I can't leave behind Gurtai.

So Mang Gurtai changed his tone and said to Huang Taiji: "I said the eighth brother, the fifth brother will help you this time, Father Khan's side, you can tell me that the city will be broken in a while, don't forget what you just said, and then talk about who is with whom our brothers." “

Dai Shan listened to the latter sentence, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Dai Shan said to Mang Gurtai: "Let's go, old five, don't worry about your slave, you are like a bear, but like a landlord and old wealth."

Everyone laughed at Dai Shan's trouble, and the unpleasant atmosphere in the big tent just now suddenly disappeared.
