The explosions on the city wall knocked the defenders into a daze, and this attack took the defenders by surprise. The originally safe place has also become unsafe, hiding behind the battlements will still be bombed, many defenders run around on the city wall, only in this way their target is more conspicuous, but they forget that there are still six hot air balloons floating in the sky, and the firecrackers on it will not let go of such an obvious target, and in the sound of gunfire, the defenders keep falling.

"Right...... That's it, hurry up and still have 10,000 enemies...... Go and don't forget those people gathered together! Wang Pu, who was standing behind a shield car and commanding the battle, kept giving orders to the siege troops in front of him with a walkie-talkie, and saw that he had achieved such a favorable result in just half an hour after the battle, Wang Pu's eyes were so happy that his eyes narrowed into a slit.

On a hidden earthen bag two miles away from Wang Pu, Yue Yang was observing the siege battle with the support of a large group of generals, and saw that the siege operation commanded by Wang Pu was so smooth, and everyone's eyes showed a satisfied smile, Yue Yang praised: "I was worried that General Wang's troops would encounter trouble attacking the city this morning, but I didn't expect him to fight very well, and it only took half an hour to fight like this, and it seems that the city will be broken sooner or later." ”

Yang Guozhu also smiled: "Master Hou, don't praise him too much, this guy can't stand the praise, and he will his tail when he praises, but the last general didn't expect him to come up with a way to open the way with 10,000 enemies, if this trick is used well, it can indeed greatly reduce the losses of the siege troops." ”

Yue Yang looked at Yang Guozhu but smiled faintly and did not speak, and continued to focus on the siege battle ahead. With the continuous enhancement of his power, the people under his command have faintly shown signs of mountainism, with Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Wang Pu, Tang Tong and other former Xuanda generals as a gang, the other gang with Shunbao, Hu Laosan, Wu Chengfeng, Chu Di and others as another gang, and Hailou, Wuqing, Chen Zhi, Fang Yizhi, Chen Zhenhui, Mao Xiang and other scholars are another group, such a situation is not deliberately guided, but unconsciously formed by everyone. For this situation, Yue Yang did not stop it, as long as he didn't make too much trouble, he would not interfere.

Seeing that there were dangers in many places on the city wall, Zu Dashou, who was hiding in a corner and commanding, said to Zu Da Congee beside him: "Third brother, you will immediately send another 3,000 people to the city wall, and you must not let the Xuan army occupy the city wall like this." ”

Zu Da Congee looked at the green military uniform unique to the Xuan Da army that was constantly revealing his figure on the city wall in front of him, a ruthless color flashed in his eyes, and he nodded: "Big brother, I'll take someone personally!" If you don't drive the Xuan army down, I will never come back to see you! ”

So saying, he jumped to his feet, ran to the city wall, and ran with three thousand men towards the most dangerous southern wall......

Although the city of Jinzhou was under fire. But when the boundary card was closed less than a hundred miles away from it, it was still as calm as ever.

Jiepai Pass is the farthest pass in Jinzhou to the north, but it is more of a former enemy castle than a pass. It was three miles long, small in size, and housed fifteen hundred defenders. There is undoubtedly a lot of pressure to garrison less than two hundred miles from Jinzhou, so the defenders here are generally very vigilant.

The guard of Jiepai Pass is named Liu Kai, a guerrilla general. Liu Kai felt a little uneasy when he got up early this morning, but he couldn't say why, because after eating breakfast, he climbed the city wall to look to the north, and sent several batches to the north for the night. A few hours later, the waves of night did not take back to report that it was normal, and just when Liu Kai secretly laughed that he was a little suspicious, someone suddenly came to report that the eldest prince felt outside the city with thousands of people.

When Liu Kai hurriedly came to the South Gate City, he was surprised to see a large group of cavalry staying outside the city. Zu, the eldest son of the ancestral family, rode his horse and stood at the front, and a long convoy was parked behind Liu Kai's cavalry.

Seeing such a situation, Liu Kai didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got off the city wall and ordered someone to open the city gate to let the convoy in.

"The eldest prince...... You are ......" Looking at the carriages of the process, Liu Kai was about to ask. was pulled aside by Zu Zerun.

Zu Zerun pulled Liu Kai aside and asked with a gloomy face: "Liu Kai, these days, Tartar ...... Is there any movement in Manchurian? ”

Liu Kai shook his head: "Back to the eldest prince, the villain just sent someone to inquire this morning." The Tartar side is as usual. ”

Zu Zerun frowned and said: "In the future, don't be full of Tatar titles, be polite to them!" ”

"Huh? Eldest son, what happened in Jinzhou? Liu Kai is a shrewd person, and when he heard it, he realized that something might be wrong, so he quickly asked.

Zu Zerun stared at Liu Kai and said in a deep voice: "Liu Kai, something happened in Jinzhou, and the imperial court sent the loyal and brave Marquis Yueyang to Liaodong. A few days ago, Shanhaiguan was still lost, and the Wu family father and son led the remnants to our Jinzhou, and now Yueyang is leading the troops to chase after him, and it is estimated that he has now launched an attack on Jinzhou. ”

Liu Kai was shocked and lost his voice: "What...... How could the court be like this? We have made great contributions to the imperial court, isn't this unloading the mill and killing the donkey? ”

"What a great achievement!" Zu Zerun smiled bitterly: "Now we are useless to the imperial court, the imperial court naturally doesn't need us, and what we did a few days ago is estimated to have been noticed by the imperial court, because the emperor sent the Xuan army to arrest us and enter Beijing for trial." ”

"Then the court can't be so ruthless!" Liu Kai said angrily: "We have worked hard for the imperial court for so many years, even if we make a small mistake, the imperial court can't send a large army to fight us without saying a word, isn't this forcing us to die?" ”

"It's not necessary to die!" Zu Zerun sneered: "It's not so easy for the imperial court to want us to die, do you see, I have brought all my family members this time, in case Jinzhou can't hold it, we will take refuge in the north!" ”

"What...... Take refuge in the Tartars? At first glance, Liu Kai's mind was a little bent for a while, and he stammered and asked: "Childe, we have been fighting with the Tartars for so many years, but now we have suddenly taken refuge in the past, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"What a Tartar, you can't call it that anymore!" Zu Zerun reprimanded hatefully: "From the moment the imperial court sent the Xuan army to arrest us, we are no longer the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, where can we go now except for those people in the north?" ”

Liu Kai couldn't help but be dumbfounded after hearing this, yes...... Although the Ming Dynasty is big now, there is no place for them for a long time, they have no way out except to take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after all, they have no way out from the moment they let the Tartars enter the customs, the harsh winter of November is so cold, but at this time Liu Kai felt that there was a cold chill than the cold wind and cold from the heart slowly spread. It was as if he was going to freeze his whole body......

"Boom ......"

A huge explosion exploded at the southern gate of Jinzhou City, a bomb weighing more than 30 catties dropped from the hot air balloon exploded, dozens of catties of black powder burst out of huge energy in an instant, in addition to blowing up more than a dozen defenders around the body, but also cleaned up the surrounding defenders, at this time the city wall was already full of Xuanda sergeants who climbed up, they waved the weapons in their hands and desperately wanted to recapture the city wall of the enemy army into a mess.

Dozens of sergeants, led by a chief, rushed towards the city gates, and their task was to open the gates and let in the firecrackers outside, as long as the firecrackers entered the city, the defenders had no way but to surrender on their knees, and the defenders on the city walls knew this. Dozens of defenders, led by an officer, also fought desperately.

"Kill ......"

A defender raised the long knife in his hand and slashed at the commander of the Xuan army with all his might, this chief should be a skilled martial artist, he raised the shield without thinking, and made a piercing metal impact sound, and then the chief took the opportunity to stab the long knife in his hand into the opponent's lower abdomen and stirred it hard before pulling it out, the defender immediately bent down and let out a sharp wail, he bent down and threw away the weapon in his hand, and his hands tightly covered his lower abdomen, and the whole person knelt on the ground. Although he desperately covered his stomach, the bright red blood still gushed out quickly, and then he fell to the ground and wailed vigorously.

The chief ignored the defender who fell to the ground and wailed, he knew very well that this defender would not be able to save him even if the gods came at this moment. He ran towards the other men who were fighting. As long as he can annihilate these defenders, he can open the city gates and let his companions in, and then a great merit will never be able to escape.

After a fierce battle, the chief finally led his men and horses to kill all the defenders, and then they quickly ran to the city gate. Soon, with a shrill grinding sound, the heavy gates were finally opened.

When the city gate was opened, the soldiers of the Xuanda army, who had been waiting outside, let out a tsunami-like cheer.

"Rush, ......"

Shunbao, who had been waiting impatiently, waved his hand, and more than 2,000 firecrackers closest to the city gate immediately rushed to the city gate with bayonets.

Soon after the Xuan army stormed the city gates. Zu Dale, who was covered in blood, also stumbled to a Tibetan soldier cave in the north of the city, and shouted desperately to Zu Dashou: "Big brother, the Xuan army has entered the city...... The second brother also died in the battle at the South Gate! ”

Zu Dashou was stunned for a while, and then sighed lightly and said: "Tell the brothers, according to the original plan, all retreat from the city wall and enter the city to resist one by one." We should retreat too! ”

Zu Dale shouted angrily: "Big brother! ”

The corners of Zu Dashou's mouth squirmed twice, and he said viciously: "Go!" ”

"Yes!"

Jinzhou is a big city, the south of the city is still a long distance from the north of the city, when Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui and others were able to calmly take nearly 20,000 cavalry out of the city towards the Jiepai Pass, behind them is a city caught in the flames of war.

After the Xuanda army entered the city, it was found that the battle was not over, the Liaodong army defending the city was still resisting street by street under the leadership of officers at all levels, and many defenders also hid in the houses, which also brought great trouble to the siege troops, the Xuanda army had to clean up the defenders one by one, and in the battle they had to use 10,000 enemies to clean up the enemy, which also made many houses damaged in this war, according to post-war statistics, In this battle, one-third of the houses in Jinzhou City were damaged by different Cheng dù, which can be called a heavy loss.

As the sun set, looking at the red sun setting in the distance, Yue Yang felt that the remnant sun was so blood-red. He sighed lightly, at this moment he didn't know if he was doing the right thing to make so many people homeless in order to capture Jinzhou.

There was a sound of chirping footsteps behind him, and then Shunbao's voice sounded behind him: "Master Hou, how can the last general not find those guys Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui, just after asking some soldiers, I know that the turtle son ran north when the city was broken, and it is estimated that he is almost at the boundary card level now." Everyone estimated that this old boy must have led the crowd to clear up, and Wu Chengfeng asked whether to send cavalry to pursue. ”

"No need!" Yue Yang let out a long sigh, shook his head gloomily and said, "No need, it's going to rain and the mother wants to get married." Let him go, and it's too late to chase after him. ”

After a day of fierce fighting, Jinzhou was finally captured, and the two most important cities in Liaodong were also included in Yueyang's hands, which also announced that Yueyang's power had extended from Xuanda to Liaodong, and the defense line from the northwest to the northeast of the Ming Dynasty was all in Yueyang's hands. Yue Yang's power also increased a lot, and his tentacles finally extended to a place only a few hundred miles away from the Manchu capital.

On the night when Yue Yang captured Jinzhou, the originally gray sky finally snowed heavily, and several messengers also rode fast horses in the direction of the capital......

Three days later, in the palace of Shengjing City. A eunuch crawled into the Chongzheng Palace, and then fell to the main hall with a pop, startling Dolgon and the ministers who were deliberating. Dolgon couldn't help frowning, and before he could speak, Dodor on the side immediately shouted, "You damned minion, what kind of place is this, how can you be so presumptuous!" Come on, drag this damn slave out and beat him to death! ”

"Whoa......

Immediately, several strong guards came to the side, pulled the reckless eunuch up, and were about to drag him out.

Seeing this, the eunuch immediately shouted: "The emperor spares his life...... The slave has something important to report, not to offend you! The Emperor ......"

"Slow ......"

Dorgon stopped several of the guards and told them to drag the eunuch back.

Dorgon said, "You minion, did you rush in recklessly to find out? Say...... What the hell is going on, if I don't have a good reason to peel you off! ”

The eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty." Zu Dashou, Wu Zhuang, Wu Sangui and many other Liaodong generals and their families have come to a place a hundred miles away from Shengjing, and they ...... They said they would submit to our Great Qing Dynasty! ”

"What?"

Hearing this, Dolgon stood up with a thud, and he could not believe his ears. A trembling voice asked, "What did you say?" You repeat! ”

The eunuch repeated: "Your Majesty...... Zu Dashou and his entourage have come to a hundred miles outside Shengjing City with their soldiers and horses and their families, and they want to submit to our Qing Dynasty! ”

"Boom ......"

At this moment, the entire Chongzheng Hall was boiling, and many people showed incredible expressions, for them, this kind of thing was as incredible as a fantasy. Dorgon even plucked his finger out his ear and asked incredulously.

"You...... Do you know that if you dare to deceive me, you will be beheaded! ”

The eunuch was so anxious that he almost cried: "Your Majesty...... Even if the minions eat the leopard's guts, they won't dare to deceive you! That ancestor Dashou did lead the crowd to return to my Qing Dynasty. Sony-sama personally sent someone to report the news! ”

There was silence for a while in the Chongzheng Palace, and then a burst of enthusiastic cheers suddenly broke out, and the originally oppressive atmosphere suddenly became hot, and many princes and bellors celebrated each other, and even many people who originally didn't like each other also said hello to each other.

Seeing the appearance of everyone in the main hall, Dorgon also sighed lightly, and the whole person slumped on the chair like a deflated ball.

When he didn't sit in this seat before, Dolgon didn't know how much he envied Huang Taiji who sat in this seat, but now that Huang Taiji was dead, he felt how hot this seat under his ass was when it was his turn to sit in this seat.

When the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty were all pressed on his shoulders, he felt how heavy this burden was. Huang Taiji is newly mourned, Daxin is defeated, the morale of the soldiers of each banner is low, the domestic food and materials are also insufficient, and many princes and ministers are also openly and secretly opposing his rule, Dolgon only feels that every day is walking on thin ice, sometimes he really wants to pick a son and quit, but he can only think about it, this is a road that can only move forward and not retreat, if he once retreats, then what awaits him and his relatives is only destruction. Now that it's okay, Zu Dashou, the Liaodong general of the Ming Kingdom, actually led the crowd to surrender, and this news will undoubtedly greatly stimulate the morale and morale of the Qing Dynasty, so that the domestic opposition to him will inevitably be silenced.

At this time, the ministers in the main hall, whether they wanted to or not, knelt down at Dolgon and said respectfully: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the generals of Liaodong have led the people to surrender, and I am mighty to the sky, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The congratulatory voices of the crowd reached Dolgon's ears, and Dolgon's face seemed to be painted with a layer of red light, and he shouted loudly, "Go...... All of you went out of the city thirty miles with me to greet the distinguished guests from afar! ”

"Obey the holy decree!" The crowd spoke in unison.

In this way, Dolgon led Zu Dashou, Wu Pai and others, who came from afar thirty miles away from Shengjing, and gave them extremely high courtesy, which also made Zu Dashou and the generals of Liaodong, who were originally a little apprehensive in their hearts.

And the surrender of a number of Liaodong generals such as Zu Dashou and Wu Pai also greatly enhanced the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which also strengthened the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in a certain way! (To be continued......)
