As the explosion sounded, a huge wave of air pushed Dorgon and the others to the ground.

When Dolgon opened his eyes from his drowsiness, his ears were full of buzzing sounds, and there was a flash of Venus in front of him, and when he calmed down, he saw a scene that made people almost jump to their feet, and the more than ten Goshha who were still next to him just now were all lying in a pool of blood, and the Wu Sangui brothers and Ao Bai and others who were talking to him also fell to the ground.

Dorgon struggled to stand up and shouted something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a thick smell of gunpowder smoke drifted into his nose, and he coughed out of breath before he could say anything.

"Your Majesty...... The Emperor ......"

When he was about to struggle to sit up, he was pulled up by someone and asked in his ear, "Your Majesty, are you alright, come quickly...... There are still those who can breathe, hurry up and help the emperor down, if the emperor has a mistake, I will cut off your dog's head! ”

Dolgon heard it, this voice was the voice of his own guard commander Tu Tu A, he coughed twice and waved his hand and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I'm fine, Tu Tu A, you first see how Ao Bai and Wu Sangui are doing?" ”

Tu Catalogue Ah hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty...... Your dragon body matters! ”

Dorgon shouted angrily, "Go quickly...... Do you want to resist the decree? ”

"Whoa......

Catalogue Ah had no choice but to run to these people, help them up, check their bodies, and pinch them for a while, and finally woke up these stunned people.

"Looking at the few people who woke up, Dolgon's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, you have all seen it, the Ming army is attacking the city very urgently, if anyone dares to play to preserve the strength, then our Daqing will be over! Wu Aiqing, if my Qing Dynasty is gone, do you think the Ming army will let you go? Aren't you just worried that I will unload and kill the donkey, you can rest assured, as long as you can survive this catastrophe, I will give you supplies first. If you still play the game of preserving your strength, then you will be ruthless! ”

Slap and give a sweet date, as the boss of Dolgon, is now very proficient in using it, and the words of both soft and hard words have made the Wu Sangui brothers speechless, and now the Ming army's more and more urgent siege action has shown that the form is already very critical, if you play to preserve the strength of this set, I am afraid that Dadong will really not be able to stand it when he enters the door.

However, Wu Sangui is Wu Sangui after all, even if Dolgon has already said this, he still frowned and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the last general is unwilling to do his best, but now our army has suffered nearly half of the casualties, and the soldiers are already very tired, on the other hand, Meng Baqi still does not move." Is it to let them take over the city defense on the last general's side, so that the last general and others can go down to rest for a while, and then fight after they have enough spirits. ”

"You ......" Dolgon couldn't have imagined that it would be this time, and Wu Sangui was still so stubborn.

"Good...... Good...... You're good! A killing intent flashed in Dolgon's eyes, he looked at Wu Sangui and then at the people and horses lying on the ground behind him, and finally nodded slowly: "Okay, since General Wu insists on changing the guard, then I won't force you." Ao Bai ...... You immediately ordered the transfer of the Russian-Ri Le and Ke and them, and changed guards with General Wu and them, and let General Wu and them go down to rest. ”

"Your Majesty!" Ao Bai was a little unwilling, they were still on the city wall, and these lowly minions were able to go down to rest, isn't this a mess?

Dolgon's face sank: "Didn't you hear my orders?" ”

"Woo ......" In the end, Ao Bai had no choice but to glare at Wu Sangui stupidly and turned to leave.

A quarter of an hour later. The brothers Wu Sangui and Wu Sanfeng took hundreds of soldiers down the city wall and came to the Tibetan soldier cave under the city to see their father Wu Ting.

"Why did you all come down?" Seeing the two Wu Sangui brothers, Wu Jian asked in surprise.

"It's nothing, the emperor replaced us."

Wu Sanfeng explained the matter of suitable talents, and Wu Biao's face immediately changed. "Sangui, you've got into a big disaster. You are so passive to avoid war today to save your strength, the emperor will definitely settle accounts after the autumn in the future, and our Wu family is about to be in great trouble! ”

Wu Sangui sneered: "There is still a big disaster coming." Let's talk about it if you can escape this calamity, if you can't avoid this calamity, it's all in vain. You haven't heard of it, my uncle fought in Deshengmen to be that miserable. Now that he's running out of people, I don't want to end up putting myself in for someone else like him. ”

Wu Jian has never had much opinion, and he was a little panicked when he heard Wu Sangui say this: "Sangui, the form is so crisis, you have always been resourceful, what do you say?" ”

"What else can I do?" Wu Sangui showed a wry smile on his face: "Now we can't go anywhere, we can only take one step at a time......"

Not to mention the countermeasures of Wu Sangui's father and son with a sad face, with the increase in the supply of the Ming army, the casualties of the Qing army are also increasing rapidly, especially when the hot air balloon of the Ming army also joined the battle, and the form showed signs of one-sidedness. More than a dozen hot air balloons floated over the city wall, and more than a dozen musketeers were taking roll call on the ground targets on each hot air balloon, so that the casualties of the Qing troops stationed at the Dadong Gate and Desheng Gate rose sharply. The first day of siege lasted until night, and then ended with nearly 10,000 casualties among the Qing army.

The sun gradually began to set, the Ming army also stopped attacking, and all the siege troops also retreated from the battlefield, until this time the Qing army on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, many of the surviving Qing troops sat on the ground, many of them looked defeated and starless. The battle had been fought so badly today, the walls were littered with corpses that had not yet had time to be carried down, and the originally dry ground had become wet, stained with the blood of the soldiers.

Hauge stood on the city wall and looked at the sunset, only to feel that it was so dazzling and bright red. At this time, he heard a faint cry in his ears, and he knew that it was the cry of the soldiers of the Eight Banners.

Heavy footsteps sounded, and Aobai's voice sounded faintly in his ears: "Prince Su, do you think we can survive this time?" ”

Hauge looked at Ao Bai in some surprise, he couldn't believe that such decadent words could come out of the mouth of such a person who was known for his bravery and good fighting, and he smiled bitterly: "Who knows...... Anyway, I have done my best, the Han Army Banner and the Mengba Banner assigned to us today have suffered heavy losses, and it is estimated that these people will not be sent to the battlefield tomorrow, either change the guard, or it will be our turn. ”

Ao Bai nodded, which can be seen from Wu Sangui's reflection today. The Han Army Banner and the Mengba Banner have no determination to fight to the end for the Qing Dynasty at all, and if they are persecuted too much tomorrow, I am afraid that there will really be a possibility of infighting.

After being silent for a long time, Ao Bai said viciously: "No, we fought so badly today, and it is time to rest tomorrow." Later, we will talk to the emperor and transfer soldiers and horses from other flags to change the guard. ”

"Hmm!" Hauge nodded in acquiescence.

Sure enough, after dinner, Dorgon summoned all the ministers to discuss the matter, and the princes and ministers gathered were all taken aback when they looked at Haug and Dord, who were covered in blood and covered in disarray, even those who did not agree with them. Today, they have heard about the battle between Dadong Gate and Desheng Gate, and now they can naturally think of the tragic situation at that time when they see the wolf appearance of the two.

The surrounding area is lit with candles, illuminating the main hall. Dolgon sat on the throne and looked at the silent crowd in front of him and said, "Hauge, Dodor, you two will tell me about today's battle." ”

"Whoa......

The two nodded, and Haoge took the lead in saying: "Your Majesty, the minister was ordered to garrison the Dadong Gate today, and the Ming army is attacking the city very urgently today, especially its artillery and firecrackers are extremely sharp, and our army's artillery and bird guns cannot match it at all, and the soldiers have suffered heavy losses." Just when I entered the gate of Dadong, I lost more than 2,000 people in the Han Army Banner and more than 3,000 people in the Eight Banners of Meng. ”

"It's the same with my Deshengmen." Duoduo also said: "Today, the Han army banner of Zu Dashou's department has been completely disabled. Later, it had to urgently transfer the Eight Banners to help, and the total loss was about 6,000 people. ”

Everyone gasped when they heard this, there were more than 10,000 people lost in one day, and there were only so many troops in the entire Shengjing. If the fight continues like this, it will take less than ten days for the entire Shengjing to be wiped out.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Hauge continued: "Your Majesty, I am flying too much white flag today, and I hope that tomorrow I can transfer us down." Change to another flag to garrison the entrance gate of Dadong. ”

"The younger brother also seconded it." Duoduo, who has always been at odds with Hauge, unexpectedly echoed Hauge's opinion today, "The focus of the Ming army's attack is the Desheng Gate and the Dadong Gate, and it is too difficult to defend with a single flag. The subordinate brother Jianyì should let the Eight Banners take turns to defend. ”

"Your Majesty, that's not right." After the two finished speaking, Du Du, the banner owner with the blue flag, stood up, "Your Majesty, when the first emperor was here, he said that the eight gates of Shengjing are each defended by eight banners, and each flag has its own territory, how can it be changed at will." Besides, we are desperately working today on the Han Army Banner and the Mengba Banner, and the strength of your banners doesn't seem to have suffered too much loss, so why can't you continue to fight? ”

"You fart!"

As soon as Du Du said this, Hauge and Duoduo were immediately enraged, and Duoduo stood up and pointed at Du Du and said: "Since three days ago, the Ming army has attacked our two gates with artillery, and at that time, the losses of my yellow flag and white flag have been not small, and today I have held on for a whole day. We were fighting there to the death, but you were watching the excitement from the sidelines, aren't you ashamed to say such things now? ”

"Hmph......" Du Du also felt that Shicai's words were a bit too much, and he didn't say anything after snorting lightly, but he still clenched Yaguan and didn't agree to the rotation proposed by the two.

Later, Dai Shan spoke, and the oldest Prince Li said: "Everyone is the descendant of Taizu, and we should support each other. According to what this king sees, since the focus of the Ming army's attack is on the Dadong Gate and the Desheng Gate, then our Eight Banners will take turns to garrison those two places for a day, what do you think? ”

Seeing that everyone was still silent, Dai Shan Sensen added a fire and said: "Do you have to watch the yellow flag and the white flag fight before you are willing?" ”

Hearing this, and seeing the gloomy face of Dolgon sitting on the throne, everyone reluctantly agreed, according to their thoughts, it should not be a big problem to keep the flag for a day. It's just that the brutality of the battle the next day was beyond their expectations.

When the sun rose the next day, the Ming army carried out an artillery bombardment of the city wall as usual, and after the shelling, the Ming army put on a siege posture, and the Qing army hiding behind the city wall began to crawl out of the ruins one after another to prepare to defeat the Ming army besieging the city.

Today, the Dadong Entrance Gate and Desheng Gate are garrisoned by Dudu's blue flag and Azig's red flag, and today is also destined to be their bloody day.

Somewhere two miles away from the city wall, Yue Yang stood on a high ground, watching the Ming army in the distance lined up in a neat line towards the city wall, turning his head and saying to Hu Dawei who was standing aside: "Yesterday, General Yang's soldiers fought well, but there were still more than 700 casualties. Today, you have to be more careful with your attacks, be careful not to let the soldiers charge blindly, remember to cooperate with the firecrackers, and you can only feint later, and wait until the hot air balloon is finished before launching a general attack, understand? ”

Hu Dawei smiled and scratched the back of his head: "Since Hou Ye said that the last general will obey orders, it's just that the last general has fought for half his life, and this is the first time I've seen such a fight." There are also heavenly soldiers and heavenly soldiers to help in the future, this is the first time. ”

Hearing this, everyone smiled, a fortified city like Shengjing, and more than 100,000 elite soldiers guarded, if there was no army of more than 300,000 in the past, don't even think about attacking the city, even if it is a siege, the daily casualty rate must be an astronomical number, but as the besieging side fought for a whole day to eliminate tens of thousands of enemy troops, and the casualties of their own side were less than 1,000, which is simply incredible in normal times, but this Hou Ye actually thought that the casualties were too high, which was too nitpicking.

"Alright, don't laugh either." Yue Yang scolded: "You don't want to think about it, how high the casualty pension of our soldiers is now, if we don't have more casualties, we will spend an extra sum of silver, in order to save the silver, you also have to give me a careful beating, do you understand?" ”

"Yes...... Respectfully obey the generals. Everyone laughed, and Hu Dawei also arched his hand towards Yue Yang and went out to command.

Looking at the Qing soldiers who gradually appeared in the city, Yue Yang narrowed his eyes and muttered: "No matter what, today the Laozi of Shengjing City is going to be decided, and a group of natives who have just come out of the deep mountains and old forests are also looking at the land of China to spy on me, I really don't know whether to live or die!" Today, I'm going to give you a taste of the flames of death from the region. ”

With Yue Yang's voice, more than a dozen huge hot air balloons had slowly floated towards the Shengjing city wall.

"Kill ......"

As a sergeant rushed forward carrying a ladder, the siege battle of the second day began...... (To be continued......)
