"The city is broken, the city is broken!"

Bursts of cheers shook the sky, and the cheers of tens of thousands of people were not idle, even Da Yu'er, who was taking care of Huang Taiji in the deep palace, heard it.

Da Yu'er, who was holding a bowl of medicine and was about to feed it to Huang Taiji, changed her face slightly, and said to the palace maid beside her: "You hurry up and go out to see, what's going on outside, why is it so noisy?" ”

"Yes!"

A palace maid of fifteen or sixteen years of age, with beautiful eyebrows, stooped down and hurriedly trotted out, and after a while, she ran over panting. In a panic, she ran to Da Yu'er, and her little face was pale and she said breathlessly: "Niangniang, it's not good, the Dahua army has broken through the outer city wall, and now Prince Rui, Prince Su, Da Beile and others are leading their troops to retreat to the inner city wall." Mother, what should we do? Think of a solution! ”

Da Yu'er's figure flickered, and the bowl in her hand also shook, and the full bowl of medicinal juice was almost half spilled, and then her face changed, and she reprimanded sharply: "Shut up, what are you panicking about?" The sky hasn't fallen yet, you don't need to put on such a face, everything is in charge of the palace, you go down. ”

"Wow!"

The little palace maid with a pale face didn't dare to speak anymore, and quickly retreated.

It's just that the little palace maid who quit the house didn't see Da Yu'er who stayed in the house, and after she left, the same face suddenly turned pale. Da Yu'er turned her head and looked at Huang Taiji, who was lying quietly on the bed, and murmured with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, your emperor, you don't know anything when you lie on the bed, you are relaxed, but the surviving concubines don't know what to do, Your Majesty, wake up, the sky of the Qing Dynasty is about to fall!" ”

As soon as Da Yu'er's words came out, all the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids knelt down, and they all cried so much that they couldn't cry and said with relief.

"Take care of your mother, the emperor has his own nature. It's going to recover, don't worry, if you get sick again, our harem won't have a backbone! ”

After a while, Da Yu'er's face slowly regained a trace of blood, and she turned to a eunuch beside her and said, "You go out quickly and invite Prince Yu to the palace!" ”

"Mother, this is not good......"

The eunuch hesitated. Although Da Yu'er is the de facto ruler of the harem at this time, it is not good to frequently summon ministers outside the palace in one day.

Seeing the eunuch's hesitant appearance, Da Yu'er Yu's face was cold. Raised his jade hand.

"Smack......

With a crisp sound, there was a red palm print on the eunuch's face. I only heard Da Yu Koyu say with a mighty face: "Bold, when will it be your turn to be a slave to call the shots in the affairs of this palace, what a bastard!" Come on, drag this daring slave out, and weigh twenty rods! ”

As he spoke, two sturdy eunuchs immediately came over and dragged the minions on the ground out, and along the way, the eunuchs kept shouting: "The slave should die, the slave should die." Mother is angry! ”

Looking at the eunuch who was dragged out, Da Yu'er, who was still angry, sat down and said to another eunuch: "You, hurry up and go out and invite Prince Yu here, just say that there is something important to discuss in this palace!" ”

"Wow!"

Seeing the miserable appearance of the colleague just now, the eunuch didn't dare to say a word more, and hurriedly ran out.

Two quarters of an hour later, in the midst of hurried footsteps, Dordor entered, accompanied by the eunuch.

As soon as Duoduo saw Da Yu'er, he bowed on one knee. "The younger brother has seen the mother. ! ”

"That's it, get up quickly. Now is not the time to pay attention to these false courtesies. Da Yu'er hurriedly raised her jade hand and said anxiously: "Prince Yu, this palace heard that the Dahua army has broken through the first city wall, is that so?" ”

"The younger brother doesn't dare to deceive the mother, that's exactly the case." Duoduo's face was also very unsightly at this time, he didn't expect that he had only been away for a long time, and the first city wall had fallen, and at this rate, it was unknown how long the inner city wall could resist.

Da Yu'er's pretty eyes looked directly at Duoduo, and asked solemnly: "Prince Yu, so far, this palace doesn't want to say those polite words, Prince Rui asked you to come to garrison the army, have you ever explained anything?" ”

Duoduo's face changed slightly, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "Brother Fourteen said that if the battle situation changes, I will escort you and Little Brother Fulin to highlight the Shengjing City, go north, and go to Hetuala, as long as we get there, we can continue the Qing Dynasty." ”

Later generations of people know that the original capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was Shengjing (Shenyang, also known as Fengtian), but in fact, the earliest capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty before this was not it, but a place called Hetuala.

Hetuala, in Manchu, means Henggang, and Huang Taiji calls it "Xingjing", which means the land of Longxing.

It was the first place where the Manchus made their fortune, so the Manchus also took more care of it on weekdays, but it was too far away from Shengjing, and the climate was colder than Shengjing, so the population has not been very large, only about 100,000 in total.

But the city there is very strong, and it is also suitable as a place to retreat.

At this moment, Da Yu'er heard that Dolgon had arranged for her to retreat to Hetuala, and she also nodded slightly, it was indeed a good place to retreat.

Then Da Yu'er walked to the bed, sat down beside Huang Taiji and asked softly, "What about the emperor, how are you going to arrange him?" ”

Duoduo just faintly forgot about Huang Taiji's glance, and said expressionlessly: "This time, we are running for our lives, not going on an outing. But the emperor is not good at acting, but the courtiers have no way to take the emperor to escape. ”

Although Duoduo only spoke softly, the hatred contained in it made Da Yu'er secretly frightened. As a woman who has lived with Huang Taiji for more than ten years, of course she knows about the grievances between Huang Taiji and the Dolgon brothers, but she didn't expect that Duoduo's hatred for Huang Taiji is so deep, and he clearly wants Huang Taiji to die.

"This ...... Not okay? Da Yu'er frowned, as if she was very dissatisfied with this proposal.

"Nothing bad." Duoduo waved his hand very dryly, "The emperor is seriously ill and can't stand the turbulence, dare to ask who can guarantee the emperor's safety when he breaks through." ”

Da Yu'er sighed secretly in her heart, and also felt that Duoduo's words made sense, now Huang Taiji is just relying on some precious medicinal materials to hang on for a breath, if he leaves the palace and gets into the car, he is afraid that he will die if he can't walk a few steps.

Da Yu'er thought about it again and again, and finally could only shake her head helplessly and said, "That's it, that's it." ”

I'm afraid that Huang Taiji, the former lord of the Qing Dynasty, would never have imagined that his fate would be decided in a few words from Duoduo and Da Yu'er.

After talking about this, Da Yu'er and Duoduo fell silent, no one spoke, and the room was quiet for a while.

After a long time, Da Yu'er continued to ask: "Prince Yu, you said that Prince Rui and they can resist Dahua's attacking horse?" ”

Duoduo smiled bitterly, "Niangniang is asking the younger brother about it, and the younger brother doesn't know about it, so I can only hope for the blessing of the ancestors of the Aixin Jueluo family in the heavens." ”

Da Yu'er waved her hand tiredly: "Okay, Prince Yu, you go out first, get ready first, and once things don't go right, escort our mother and son out of the palace immediately." ”

"Oh, my brother will go and get ready immediately."

Dodor bowed, and immediately withdrew.

Just as the two were discussing the way back, Zu Dashou also seized the time to attack the second city wall.

Hesitating that the first city wall and the second city wall are separated by hundreds of steps, and the takeaway artillery can't see inside, so naturally there is no way to support the siege, and if you want to pull the artillery in, you find that the distance inside is too narrow, and the artillery has no way to deploy it, so Zu Dashou can only rely on the support of riflemen to attack the city.

However, the difficulty of this siege is much higher than when the first city wall was attacked just now.

After retreating to the inner city wall, the Qing army's defense suddenly became crazy, and they no longer retreated, but stood on the city wall, erected heavy shields, and threw stones, rolling logs, and arrows desperately under the cover of shields.

Zu Dashou originally wanted to take advantage of the high morale to command his soldiers and horses to capture Shengjing City in one fell swoop, as long as this city wall is taken again, Shengjing will no longer have anything to stop the advance of the Dahua army.

"Brothers, work hard, Master Zu said, as long as Shengjing City is captured, the living brothers will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver each, and the dead will be rewarded with forty taels each, come on!"

Under the city walls, dense soldiers stood under the ladder, waiting to climb up. Many of them had shields in one hand and long knives in their mouths, waiting to climb up and fight the Qing soldiers.

Behind these siege soldiers was a row of riflemen, the muzzle of the Minnie rifle pointed at the front with a black hole, and as soon as any of the Qing soldiers on the city wall showed their figures, he was immediately greeted by a few hot lead bullets.

"Kill!"

"A Dahua sergeant had just climbed to the edge of the city wall when he was stabbed down by several spears waiting on it."

It seems that the Qing army has also learned a lesson, and they dare not give the Dahua soldiers a chance to throw earth-shaking thunder.

Spears, arrowheads, and rocks fell from the walls, smashing the soldiers who were preparing to attack the city.

For a while, as soon as he began to attack the city, Zu Dashou saw that his sons were swept away by the Qing army who were not afraid of death.

"Quick, riflemen cover, hurry up and cover!"

Zu Dashou waved his arms next to the first city gate, ordering the soldiers to speed up the attack, Zu Dashou deeply felt that as long as this matter of breaking Shengjing was obtained by himself, then his chances of promotion in the future would definitely be much easier, and the emperor would definitely remember his name......
