Liaoyang City, where the former Ming Dynasty Liaodong Capital is located, has been the military and political center outside the country since the beginning of the dynasty. In the first year of the Apocalypse, the Jin army conquered Liaoyang, and Zhang Quan, the imperial envoy of Liaodong, was trapped in the city and was escorted to see the slaves. The slave escorted Zhang Quan back to the official office, and the Han people in the city shed tears and asked to protect Zhang Envoy. After hearing this, Zhang Quan said to everyone: "You are all good people. "After that, he straightened his clothes and hats, worshiped Jingshi, and then swung his sword to kill himself, only 46 years old. In the same year, Nurhachi moved the capital to Liaoyang, and then conquered Guangning and Shenyang successively, and moved the capital to Shenyang four years later, changing its name to Shengjing.

With Guangning and Yizhou firmly in the hands of the Jin army, Liaoyang's strategic position declined, and it was no longer the largest city outside the Guan, but more of a link between southern Liaoning and Shenyang. In the second year of Tiancong, Hong Taiming handed over the defense of Liaoyang City to the blue flag, and the blue flag lord Jierharang sent 800 troops to be stationed in Liaoyang City, and the guard will be Gushan Egu, who was born in the big tent of Jierharang.

Since Egu became the general of Liaoyang, what he has done the most is to collect taxes. Liaoyang is located in the north-south traffic area, although due to the shrinkage of the Ming army in Ningjin, unable to advance eastward, so it lost the status of a military town, but it developed on the trade route. The continuous victories of the Jin army in the war against the Ming Dynasty made southern Liaoning war-free for more than ten years, and the non-governmental trade became more and more prosperous. The land outside the customs is the special product of fur, ginseng and Dongzhu, and all ethnic groups have trades, even the northeast of North Korea also have merchants to trade, which naturally makes the commercial tax extremely developed, and the tax revenue of Liaoyang alone is enough to feed half of the blue flag, so this Liaoyang guard will be a big fat difference, and if you are not a trustworthy person, Zierharang will not put people here.

Don't use your head to sell your life, only count silver and drink every day, such a good day makes Egule not think, but more than 20 days ago, I don't know what happened, the caravan that used to hit Lushun, Yongning, Jin, and Gaishuzhou in the south disappeared at once, and even Shanguan there was no news, as if overnight except for Liaoyang City, there was no city and big living people in this world.

In the first few days, Egu didn't care, and now it is late autumn and winter, and it won't be long before the snow should fall, and at that time, the merchants of all ethnic groups have also packed up for the winter, and this business will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year. But what is unexpected is that from the tenth day, the banner people outside Liaoyang City successively found that there were bannermen who had fled from the south, and some ragged soldiers, and they brought back a shocking news - the Ming army was killed in the south.

The Ming army killed from the south?!

Hearing this news, Egu's eyes were about to pop out, and he instinctively thought of which Ming army general had eaten the tiger whiskers of the bear-hearted leopard and dared to come and slash the warriors of the Eight Banners! Since the fight against Lao Khan, there has always been only one thing about our Eight Banners bullying the Ming army, but there is no time for the Ming army to bite back! The god kills the Ming general, I am really tired of it, I dared to rush at the big array of 10,000 of you when I led 800 people, and I lost my armor to kill you, and now this martial art has not fallen!

It just so happened that the Great Khan led the army to fight Mongolia and didn't call the master, the master was worried that there was no merit, but the people of the Ming Kingdom were very funny, and they sent the credit under their noses, hey!

Sons, put on your armor and get on your horse, and go with this general to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!

As soon as Egu was angry, he was going to take his two Niu Lu to reinforce Anshan, and as soon as he hit his horse out of the city gate with his front foot, he ran into Wu Qitai, the banner leader of the Han army, who fled all the way back from Anshan. Seeing Egu and the Eight Banners who had already been killed out of the city gate, Wu Qitai cried as if he had seen his father, and he looked as sad as his dead father. After crying for a while, he didn't say any useful information, so angry that Egu raised his hand and whipped it, which stopped Wu Qitai's crying, but what he said later about the strength of the Ming army made Egu shocked and worried.

I don't know if it's true or not, Wu Qitai is determined that there are tens of thousands of Ming troops who are coming, and they also carry hundreds of cannons, and there are no less than 10,000 cannons with hawkbeaks and big poles, not counting this alone, this Ming army still has thousands of cavalry, those cavalry are like ghosts, their eyes are red, and there are several skulls hanging on everyone's body, which is very terrifying. They kill people when they see them, and there are no chickens and dogs left wherever they go, and they can fight better than the Eight Banners warriors. I even heard that the Ming army had engaged in a set of tactics of "fighting to feed war", and sent a lot of teams of Ming troops to burn, kill, and plunder, and leveled the fort of our banner people a lot, and some of the bannermen who escaped also said that some Ming troops could not grab food, so they killed their banner people as cattle and sheep to eat, and they ate fiercely one by one, and the red light on their faces looked terrifying.

This time, not only Egu was frightened, but the other officers of Liaoyang with the blue flag were also panicked, if the army was not surprised or afraid of the city, because the defenders of southern Liaoning were already weak, and there was no reason for the Ming army to be tens of thousands of people unable to attack, but this time the Ming army actually had the atrocity of killing the flag people as cattle and sheep to eat, which was really beyond their imagination. Cruel as they are, and there are few such people and gods who are angry.

There are only more than 200 soldiers in Liaoyang armor, and it is difficult to fight with the powerful Ming army, and the subordinates are timid, and they look at Egu with a sad face.

Egu was also in a quandary.

If what Wu Qitai said is true, then the strength of this Ming army is no less than the strength of the Ming army in the battle of the Great and Small Linghe last year, and Egu did not participate in that battle, but after the war, he also heard from his colleagues with the blue flag that in addition to the more than 10,000 elite soldiers trapped in the ancestral department of the Daling River and more than 20,000 elite soldiers in Jinzhou, there are also strong troops transferred from Guannei, which has 60,000 or 70,000 people. As soon as the war started, the banks of the Daling River were full of black smoke, and the sound of thunderbolts and firecrackers rang non-stop from morning to night, and the Ming army gradually advanced under the cover of the chariots, and it was a fire attack and artillery bombardment, and a Ming army with heavy armor rushed straight to the Khan's own formation, almost injured the Khan. In that battle, fortunately, God blessed Dajin, the wind direction changed sharply at a critical time, and the Ming army was caught off guard, which made Dajin turn defeat into victory.

In such a big battle, although the Ming army also had sixty or seventy thousand people, it seemed that in addition to the big poles and guns, there were not many artillery pieces to come out, if the Ming army that invaded the south really brought hundreds of cannons as Wu Qitai said, wouldn't the strength be stronger than the Ming army in the battle of Dalinghe? Could it be that the Ming Kingdom moved all his belongings to southern Liaoning? If this is the case, then this is a battle related to the fortunes of Dajin, unless the main force of the Eight Banners fights with it, it will be difficult to fight Liaoyang alone.

Egu is not stupid, no matter whether what Wu Qitai said is completely true or not, judging from the fact that all the cities south of Liaoyang have fallen, this attacking Ming army is by no means something he can contend with. After thinking about it for a moment, Egu did not hesitate to order to return to the city, immediately requisitioned the banner to defend the city, and sent someone to send Wu Qitai to Shenyang to report for help, and sent someone to move all the forts around Liaoyang to the city, so as not to be poisoned by the Ming army. This made the people of Liaoyang City panic, and those bannermen who enjoyed the fruits of victory from the Ming War never dreamed that one day the Ming army would appear under their noses again, and it would be so fierce. The rumor that the Ming army ate their banner people as cattle and sheep has become a nose and an eye, the one who said that his relatives in Gaizhou were disemboweled, washed and boiled by the Ming army, and the one who said that his cousin's family in Jinzhou Fort was fried in an oil pot by the Ming army, and it was called "fried fat sheep"

As these terrifying rumors spread more and more in Liaoyang City, the confidence of the banner people dropped to the freezing point, and they also felt the fear and fear of Daming for the first time, and this feeling had disappeared from the minds of the Jurchens for more than twenty years.

The Han people in the city are also surging, the original master-servant relationship has become a little delicate, and some banner people have begun to treat their Han Aha with good words and lust, it seems that they are thinking of preparing a way back for themselves.

There are also hard-liner bannermen who keep cheering for the clansmen, saying that the Khan's army has won a big victory over the class division, and it won't take long to come back, and the reinforcements from Shenyang are also on the way, as long as they can hold on for a few days, the Ming army will definitely retreat without a fight. After all, no matter how powerful the Ming army is, it is not the opponent of the brave and combative Eight Banners Army. This kind of propaganda and agitation had a certain effect, but for a few days without seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the newly ignited confidence slowly dropped again, if it weren't for the fact that Egu did not allow the bannermen to go out of the city in order to gather enough strength to defend the city, I am afraid that Liaoyang City has begun a large wave of refugees.

In fact, Egu didn't guess wrong, Dayong crossed the sea this time and came really strong, although it can't be said to be all the belongings of Daming, but it's almost the same. It must be known that Sun Yuanhua trained the new army but exhausted half of the Ming Dynasty's treasury, and the firearms and artillery purchased and cast were originally used by Chongzhen to have high hopes for a decisive battle with Hong Tai. If it weren't for Kong Youde's rebellion, the tens of thousands of guns and hundreds of cannons would not have sunk into the sea, and the new army, which had only been formed for a year, would not have been wiped out without even going to the battlefield. Ten years later, Songshan is completely a decisive battle that the Ming Dynasty does not want to fight and is not ready for it at all, and it is a miracle to be undefeated.

Now, Dengzhou's hoarding of enough ordnance to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army fell into the hands of Dayong, and he was prepared to fight unprepared, slashing at the weakest rear of the Jin army in southern Liaoning, with the courage of the Jinzhou army to kill from the pile of dead, if it could not sweep southern Liaonan, it would be a miracle. Before crossing the sea, Dayong also made the worst plan, once Hong Tai's army returned or could not fight due to weather conditions, then quickly retreated to Jinzhou and boarded the ship to Shuangdao or Phi Dao, as long as there was no shortage of food, survive the winter and go ashore to sweep him again, I don't believe in letting go of the blood of the people.

In the few days of waiting for reinforcements, Egu didn't eat well, couldn't sleep well, and lost his temper inexplicably, Fu Jin persuaded him a few times to no avail, Xu is to know that there is a Ming army to attack, and also know that there are rumors about the Ming army in the city, once the Ming army breaks the city, the whole city is full of jade and stones, so this Fujin, who has always been proud of being able to control her husband, does not dare to get angry, and the former tigress has become extremely docile.

The change in Fujin, Egu did not feel at all, he only felt the invisible pressure, which rose to the extreme after the discovery of a small group of cavalry of the Ming army outside the city. When the nerves of the soldiers and civilians of the city were stretched to the extreme, Egu's brother-in-law came to Turush.
