Chapter 425: The Battle of Shenyang (12)

Zhenghongqi Jia La'e Zhen Yilintai had just been ordered to suppress the women and children to make trouble, and he hurried to the city, seeing Dai Shan staring at the Mang Gurtai on the opposite side motionless, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and walked forward and persuaded in a low voice: "Master, the Ming army will wait for dawn to attack, the master might as well go and rest first, there are minions here staring, nothing can happen." ”

Dai Shan didn't say whether to rest, but asked, "It's all pressed down?" ”

"Cut dozens of them, and scared them. Besides, there are also Misai leading troops to patrol, and they can't make anything to do. ”

"Ugh." Dai Shan shook his head, sighed and said to Eliintai: "We must find out which family is dead, and when their men come back, how can Ben Belle give them an explanation, so as not to make people say that I am cruel and unkind." ”

"It's also the big Baylor who is kind, reluctant, if it was a slave, he would have sent troops to suppress it, and they would make trouble in the city, and the Ming army outside the city could not hear it, for fear that it would be five Baylors."

Yilintai was quite unimpressed with Dai Shan's intention to give an explanation to the deceased's family afterwards, but he had always said that he was used to Mang Gurtai, and he blurted out when he couldn't change his mouth for a while, and when he found that his master's face was sinking there, he woke up and hurriedly changed his words: "Mang Gurtai, this traitor, may still be laughing at his master for having a bodhisattva heart." ”

"It's always the woman of our Eight Banners, and Ben Baylor can't do it unless it is absolutely necessary." Dai Shan smiled bitterly, did not continue to dwell on this matter, and instead asked Ezhen Talai, who had been guarding behind him: "How many Han troops have retreated?" ”

Without much thought, Talai replied: "If you say to the master, Sun Degong retreated with 300 people, the Zu family also brought 900 people to retreat, and the rest were some stragglers and aha with less than 500 people. ”

Dai Shan said "um" and did not speak, obviously not surprised that the Han army retreated into the inner city with only such a little.

Yilintai said with hatred: "Nowhere in the outer eight cities is fighting to the death with the Ming army, these Han people really can't believe them, they should have chopped their brains in the first place, and the king of the Khan believed them very much." It's good now, as soon as the Ming army came, these bastards either surrendered or fled, and we raised them for nothing, all a bunch of ungrateful white-eyed wolves! According to the slave, it was still the right thing that the old Khan did when he was there, and all these Han people should be killed. ”

"Nonsense! The Han people also have loyal and righteous people, Sun Degong and his ancestral family are worthy of my big gold, how can it be said that the Han people are ungrateful white-eyed wolves? Also, if you say these words in front of me today, you can never say it in front of outsiders, you must know that the calamity comes from the mouth" Dai Shan's voice was fierce, and he saw that Yilintai quickly lowered his head and did not dare to say more.

"It's not the fault of the Han people that the outer city can't hold it, and I don't expect to be able to hold the outer city, after all, our troops are too small, and we can't stop the Ming army, Sun Degong and the ancestral family didn't defect to the Ming army like those generals, and they are already loyal to me, you must not have any dissatisfaction with them, let alone any targeting. At this point, we must remember, do you know the Tao? If I am told to know which of them dares to speak to me behind my back, I will blame Ben Baylor's men for being ruthless! ”

Elintai and Talai hurriedly responded, saying that they would never dare to disobey their master's orders.

Dai Shan was still a little worried, and asked someone to summon Sun Degong and the ancestral family to come over as another Han general who had fled into the city, and he wanted to appease the hearts of these Han people.

A group of Han generals will all gather together, and they are worried about it.

Sun Degong was okay, Dai Shan had told him in advance that he could retreat into the inner city if he couldn't do anything, but he didn't even see the shadow of the Ming army, and only heard that Shi Qianzhu was tied up by Liu Tianlu and they hurriedly retreated to the inner city with his own soldiers, which was a serious dereliction of duty.

If Sun Degong can fulfill his duties, lead his troops to recapture the first defective Tianyou Gate, slaughter Liu Tianlu and other generals, and recapture Tianyou Gate, then it must be a shot in the arm for the Jin army of several other gates, although the most stubborn will definitely not be able to hold it, but it can always give the Ming army some casualties, where will let the Ming army control the outer eight gates without blood.

Sun Degong's crime is serious, but after all, he surrendered to the Jin State as early as eleven years ago, and also made great contributions in the Battle of Guangning, and the status of the Han officials who invested in the gold is second only to Tong Yanghe and Li Yongfang, and he is also friendly with the magnates of the Eight Banners, so he is not worried that Dai Shan will vent his anger with his head, but he can't help but feel uneasy in his heart, afraid that Dai Shan will scold him too embarrassed.

Compared with Sun Degong, who was only worried that he would be scolded too embarrassed and couldn't get off the stage, Zu Zerunge and Zu Dacheng were very worried.

In addition to the Desheng Gate, the outer eight cities were broken by the Ming army, and the five gates of Tianyou Gate, Neizhi Gate, Outer Inlay Gate, Dizai Gate, and Fusheng Gate were all surrendered without a fight. The guards of the Fusheng Gate are Zu Dashou's adopted son Zu Kefa and Yizi Zu Keyuan, the relationship between the two and his ancestral family is not ordinarily close, and Zu Dashou also regarded them as his own sons. Now that these two people have also surrendered to the Ming army, this can't help but make Zu Zerun and them worry that Dai Shan will be suspicious of them. Even if Dai Shan does not doubt them, it is not possible to easily give up Fujin Gate and Huaiyuan Gate. Dajin is the most important military law, and Zu Zerun is very worried that Daishan will take them in order to stabilize the morale of the army.

To be honest, after retreating into the inner city, Zu Zerun actually regretted it, thinking that he should have surrendered to Ming anyway, although the imperial court would investigate the loss of Dalinghe City and the killing of He Kegang, but there should be no problem in saving his life. After all, their ancestral family has been operating in Liaodong for so many years, and the imperial court can use them if they want to defend the border, no matter how bad it is, they must always give them a chance to make meritorious contributions. Where is it like now, but I am worried that I will be used by the Manchurians to sacrifice the flag. I was worried about it, and the most feared thing came - Daishan wanted to see them.

With a stomach full of worries, Zu Zerun and a group of generals went to see Dai Shan. When they knelt down and saluted and waited for Dai Shan to settle his fate, Dai Shan first helped Sun Degong, and then helped Zu Dacheng, Zu Zerun and others one by one, and then told them very sincerely that he thanked everyone for not abandoning Dajin when the outer city was lost, but chose to guard the inner city with the Eight Banners warriors, and he remembered this loyalty. When the Great Khan's army returned to defeat the Ming army, he would definitely ask the Great Khan for credit in recognition of his sincere blood towards Dajin.

After saying this, Sun Degong, Zu Dacheng, Zu Zerun and others burst into tears, and kowtowed again and again and said that they would swear to defend the inner city to the death, swear to fight with the Ming army to the end, and swear to live and die with Dajin.

Dai Shan said good words to appease him for a while, and then ordered Sun Degong to reorganize the Han army and gather all the Han troops who fled into the inner city to form a separate army. He also asked people to bring out a large amount of gold and silver from the mansion to reward the Han army, and also rewarded the Han generals one by one. Zu Zerun was even more guilty, ashamed of the thought of regret he had just now, and secretly resolved with a red face to guard the inner city with the Eight Banners warriors, so that the Ming army would be bloodied under the city wall.
