On the road, because of the snow, hundreds of horses fell and injured their hooves, and Hong Tai's mount almost slipped, although he did not fall, but the horse's hooves were obviously injured.

When there were still more than 20 miles away from Shenyang, Hong Tai's nosebleed finally stopped, but the whole person was also weakened by excessive blood loss, and he couldn't stop swinging while sitting on the horse.

Lang Zhong, who accompanied the army, kept persuading Hong Tai to stop and rest, and Abatai and they also persuaded Hong Tai to stop and rest, but Hong Tai refused.

At this moment, Hong Tai, in addition to worrying about the women and children of the Eight Banners in Shenyang City, is also worried about his two youngest sons Ye Bushu and Shuo Sai, he is very afraid that the Ming army will kill his own flesh and blood, and is afraid that the Ming army will use his two sons to blackmail himself.

In the past, the understanding of the generals of the Ming army made Hong Tai's idea of redeeming the city more prosperous, and he also thought about who to send to contact the Ming army.

But what price is it, Mrs. Hong is distressed. Since the old Khan raised the army, Dajin has indeed robbed a lot of money, but most of this money is in the city of Shenyang, and now Shenyang is occupied by the Ming army, and those money and property naturally no longer belong to Dajin, and there is less money and food in other places, so I am afraid that I will not be able to pay this ransom.

There is no money to redeem the city and redeem the people, and the best way is to cede the land to the Ming army. Since the Ming army landed from southern Liaoning, Dajin did not attach much importance to those places, and it must have been even more dilapidated after being sacked by the Ming army, so it was better to return southern Liaoning to the Ming army.

If the Ming army is willing to agree to this condition, it is naturally the best, in case it does not agree, Hong Tai's bottom line is to return Guangning to the Ming army, and the rest can not be conceded.

But what if the Ming army does not agree to this condition?

Hong Tai was a little troubled, the Ming army was able to capture Shenyang, which shows that they have a large number of men and horses, combined with the news sent by Daishan before, how can they be counted as tens of thousands of horses. If they didn't take advantage of the fire to loot but to recover the Guanwai, then no amount of conditions would have been able to impress the Ming army. Since his accession to the throne, the young emperor of the Ming Kingdom has been committed to recovering the Guanwai, and he has not even agreed to the peace negotiation that Dajin has the upper hand, and now that he has the upper hand, the capital is occupied, and the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is afraid that he will not be even more willing to negotiate peace with Dajin.

If you can't negotiate peace, it will naturally be impossible to redeem the city and redeem people, so this matter will fall into a dead end, except for fighting, Hong Tai can't think of a better way. The main army fell hundreds of miles away, and it would take at least seven or eight days for them to arrive in Shenyang, and if they wanted to take Shenyang with the 5,000 cavalry in their hands, Hong Tai didn't dare to think about it.

When the old Khan was able to take Shenyang by relying on the internal response in the city of Shenyang, not only Shenyang, since the Eight Banners raised the army, every Ming city captured by Dajin relied on the internal response, and none of them relied on strong attack. The end of the strong attack is that every battle will be defeated, and the lessons of Ningyuan and Jinzhou have already taught Hong Tai that before there is enough artillery, it is basically impossible to attack the cities of the Ming Kingdom by manpower.

Shenyang City has been repaired very strong in recent years, and the strong attack must not be able to take it, the Eight Banners are good at besieging the city to send reinforcements, last year's battle of the Great and Small Linghe River is the way of besieging the city to help, the whole campaign, the Eight Banners have not attacked the Great Linghe City, and it is by besieging the defenders to the death and repelling the reinforcements that the tactics have achieved victory.

Thinking of this, Hong Tai had an idea, there was not much food in Shenyang City, and it was impossible for the Ming army to carry much grain and grass when crossing the sea to the north.

Hong Tai's bloodless face finally showed a smile, and he had already figured out how to deal with the Ming army in Shenyang. The bargaining chips of the Ming army in Shenyang are not his Hong Tai's bargaining chips, as long as the grain route of the Ming army is cut off and the Ming army from southern Liaoning is blocked, then it is not his headache but a headache for the commander of the Ming army.

After making up their minds, Mrs. Hong's spirits were better again, and Abatai and the others were a little relieved when they saw it, and at this juncture, if Mrs. Hong fell, then the Eight Banners would be leaderless.

Hong Tai ordered the march to speed up and make sure to reach Shenyang before noon. The three thousand cavalry deserved to be the elite of the Eight Banners, although the snow on the road was difficult to walk, but none of them complained, they gave full play to the tenacity of the Jurchens in the cold weather, and they increased the marching speed a lot.

However, the closer they got to Shenyang, the more bad they felt up and down the Eight Banners, and they always felt that there was something bad waiting for them ahead, not only the soldiers had this feeling, but also Hong Tai herself had this premonition.

After crossing the sand ridge, the Jin soldiers all knew that they had a bad feeling about what they were doing, because Shenyang, the great golden capital city more than ten miles away, was shrouded in flames at the moment

The fire in the direction of Shenyang rushed straight to the clouds, and looking at the fire, I am afraid that the entire city of Shenyang is burning. Black smoke writhed like a dragon with teeth and claws, writhing above the earth.

The black smoke represents that the city is burning, if it is burned clean, then what comes out is white smoke, the eight banners are still aware of this, they looked at Shenyang in a daze, and their mouths opened one by one, as if they saw the most incredible thing in the world.

Hong Tai's face was also extremely ugly, and the guards on the side could even see his right hand grasping the saddle and shaking.

The Ming army made the stupidest and smartest decision, they actually burned the city of Shenyang with one fire!

Hong Tai thought of any measures that the Ming army commander might take after occupying Shenyang, but he did not expect that the Ming army had no intention of occupying Shenyang, and they chose the simplest and most brutal way - to burn down the capital of Dajin.

Hong Tai's heart was worried for a while, he knew what the Dao Ming Army had done before setting this fire, and he would have done it if it had been replaced.

Ye Bushu and Shuo Sai's little faces couldn't help but appear in his mind, remembering the way they babbled and called "Amma", Hong Tai was even more painful.

The pain made Hong Tai's face extremely distorted, and the face that was already bloodless became extremely hideous and terrifying under the distortion.

None of the guards dared to speak, they were so frightened that they did not dare to move.

Abatai, Doazig, and Dolgon's faces are not much better, and their families are also in Shenyang City, if the Ming army has already burned the city first, according to the blood feud between the Ming and Jin sides, what will happen to their families without guessing.

Thinking of his sons, Abatai had the heart to die. Dolgon was newly married, and he was very fond of Fujin, and he couldn't help shedding a tear at this moment. He was young, heartless, and didn't have much pain in losing his loved ones, but he also gritted his teeth, and his eyes were full of revenge and anger.

Among the three brothers, Azig is the most anxious, and he is always the first to shout out about something on weekdays, and he is very uncontrollable, but he will be silent, neither roaring angrily nor cursing anything, just staring and staring blankly

There are Jin soldiers who began to cry, called Eniang, called Ama, called wives and children, everything, as more and more Jin soldiers cried, the Eight Banners Army was in turmoil, everyone was like a mourner, where is there still a little fighting spirit. They were either sitting on horses, or they were paralyzed under their horses, lying on the snow and wailing towards the city of Shenyang.

Seeing this, Abatai was shocked, and was the first to react from the pain, and hurriedly stopped the surrounding red-armored tooth swingers, and then asked them to immediately suppress the bitter flag soldiers, and the generals also came back to their senses, and began to bomb and suppress the soldiers without the orders of the Baylors above, and finally stopped the crying in the army under the pressure of a series of scolding and beating, but the small choking never fell.

The chaos in the army only made Hong Tai frown, and the small choked voices of the soldiers did not make him angry, he just sighed and ordered to set off immediately, and rushed to Shenyang without stopping for a moment to see if he could extinguish the fire and rescue some people who had not been poisoned by the Ming army

The 3,000 cavalry are the elite of the two yellow banners, and their families are also in the city of Shenyang.

The gallop of more than ten miles is not to cherish the horsepower at all, under the urging of the horse, after arriving in Shenyang City, I am afraid that hundreds of war horses will die of exhaustion, and hundreds of war horses will not stop spitting foam, and some are even bleeding bubbles, and they will not be able to live.

Ignoring those tired war horses, Hong Tai first asked Azig to lead hundreds of cavalry to besiege the city to inspect the circle to prevent the Ming army from ambushing, and after confirming that there was no Ming army, Hong Tai quickly ordered Dolgon to bring people into the city to put out the fire and save people.

Shenyang City, whether it is an inner city or an outer city, is mostly a wooden structure, the Ming army set fire to the fire oil and vegetable oil in Shenyang City is exhausted, two days burned down, most of the city has been turned into an ash heap, and the rest are left with a few lonely wooden pillars that are burning. What's even more vicious is that after the Ming army set fire, they piled up all the gates of Shenyang, so that none of the residents in the city could escape.

Shenyang is completely destroyed, compared to the Jin army captured Shenyang and destroyed it more completely, in addition to the city wall that is still intact, this former population of more than 100,000 people outside the Guanwai the largest city no longer has the appearance of a strong city.

Jin Jun thought that there would be people in the city who were lucky enough to survive, but after searching countless times in the inner and outer cities, they could not see a single living person except for those charred corpses.

Most of the corpses in the outer city were found in the house, and the corpses were still relatively intact, most of them were choked to death by thick smoke and burned, and it was rare to see anyone killed before death.

The inner city is miserable, countless corpses with severed heads are concentrated in the station inlaid with red flags and yellow flags, and the palace of the Khan is densely packed with burned corpses, and some of the corpses are not completely burned, because the high temperature is constantly smeared with corpse oil.

Thousands of corpses were found outside the Fengtian Gate, and after identification, all of them were Eight Banner men, and the heads of the corpses were all cut off. It was also the only area that had not been burned by the fire, and the thousands of corpses piled up to make the golden soldiers look colorless from top to bottom.

After reluctantly searching again, Jin Jun had no choice but to withdraw from Shenyang, because the fire in the city could not be extinguished, and the high temperature accompanied by the smell of burnt corpses made Shenyang City like a hellish city, and no one could stay in this hell for a moment longer.

The bodies of Yebushu and Shuo Sai were found in the corpse view, and when Hong Tai saw the headless bodies of his two sons, he could no longer support them, and his eyes were dark and he fainted again.
