After the horn of the withdrawal sounded, the Jin soldiers besieging the city were relieved, and Azig breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly retreated with a swinging tooth.

The Manchu and Han Jin soldiers under the city wall also retreated to the rear, and when they retreated, they did not rush in a swarm, but retreated in an orderly manner, with those archers suppressing the Ming army in the city, and the rest of the troops retreating in turn. Therefore, although the Ming army found that the Jin soldiers were retreating, they could not shoot them due to the suppression of those archers, so they only released some guns and shot dozens of retreating soldiers.

When retreating, there was a scene that was indeed funny, there were still a hundred and ten iron heads pushing shield carts in the cave of the city gate to hit the city gate, and when they found that the army had withdrawn, there was not a single soldier of their own under the city wall, so frightened that these iron leaders hurriedly ran out of the door. The armor on the body is too heavy, and I can't run far to stop and catch my breath, and I am afraid that the Ming army in the city will come out to chase and kill.

Where did the Ming army dare to go out of the city to chase them, and it was thankful that they could hold the city.

To be honest, if the Jin army attacked twice again regardless of the cost, Shi Dayong would not have been able to hold it out.

When he heard the horn of the Jin army's retreat, a big stone fell to the ground from top to bottom, and one by one they sat down exhausted, looking at each other, smiling stupidly.

The gunners did not stop, they kept waiting for the Jin army to run to the range of the artillery. After the Jin soldiers retreated across the moat and finally retreated to the range of the large and small artillery, the guerrilla Li Fu of the artillery battalion hurriedly waved down the small order flag, and suddenly the large and small artillery of the Ming army once again exerted their might and bombarded together, and under the torture and killing of all kinds of artillery, hundreds of Jin soldiers were killed and disabled.

Before the siege, there were 10,000 Manchurian soldiers and horses, but now they have lost more than half of them.

During the retreat, a cannon exploded not far behind him, almost giving a twelve-baylor here, and after getting up from the ground, Azig turned pale, stumbled and jumped, and then ran out.

…………

Huang Taiji ordered the withdrawal of troops, Daishan and Dolgon they had no opinion, they all saw the tragic situation of the siege, and they knew that this Jinzhou City could not be taken, if they were angry for the golden dragon banner, they would attack Jinzhou regardless of the casualties of the soldiers, they were also reluctant. After all, the capital of the Eight Banners is too small, and the losses are too great in the first battle of the Linghe River, except for the Zhenglan Banner, all the flags have more or less losses, and the soldiers have fought here for more than a month, and they are also looking forward to withdrawing their troops. If it weren't for the fact that the population and food of Jinzhou City were too attractive, the day before yesterday would have been a teacher, where would he come to fight this Jinzhou.

Jierharang did not agree to fight Jinzhou, and was bent on returning to Shenyang and dividing the Ming army's prisoners, weapons and flags. But Huang Taiji didn't fancy the materials in Jinzhou City, and he was helpless. For the sake of the Golden Dragon Banner, regardless of the cost, he forcibly ordered Azig to attack the city, and now it is good, he has lost thousands of Eight Banner warriors in vain, I really don't know if he will fight this abacus.

If you want him to say that if the Han army can't attack it, then it should retreat, don't even try again, the Ming army in the city has long been ready, and if you fight it, you don't know how many people will die.

But he didn't dare to say these words in his heart, he stood there silently, looking at the embarrassed red flag back, grinning at the corner of his mouth, and smiling unnoticedly.

………

When Azig galloped over, he was like a deflated ball, drooping his head, and he didn't squeak in that muffled voice, and he didn't dare to look at Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji didn't blame him, and waved his hand at him, meaning that it is not your fault that you can't take it down, so you don't have to blame yourself too much.

Dolgon looked at Jinzhou, and suddenly said: "King Khan, according to the courtier's brother, it is better for us to bypass this Jinzhou and directly hit him Ningyuan!" ”

Hearing this, Duoyi also shouted: "Brother Fourteen is right, fight Ningyuan, let's fight Ningyuan!" The excited Chaohuang Taiji shouted: "Fourth brother, Ning Yuan has been fat and oily in the past few years, and Yuan Lao'er has been chopped by Chongzhen again, it is a good time to take it!" ”

Hit Ning Yuan?

Huang Taiji was a little hesitant, Jinzhou couldn't take it and went to fight Ningyuan, if he was not careful, he would be copied by the Ming army. How could he know that there was danger on the back road, and then go to the danger to attack Ning Yuan?

But thinking that if he didn't take some of the supplies of the Ming army, it would be difficult to explain to the people after he went back, and it would be difficult to cross this winter, so he was a little embarrassed for a while, so he turned around and asked Dai Shan: "What does the second brother think?" ”

Dai Shan pursed his lips and nodded: "The fifteenth brother is reasonable, Ning Yuan has been fat and oily in recent years, and I heard that the population and food in the city are not less than that of Jinzhou City, but if you really want to fight, you must plan well this time, and try to avoid attacking the city from the front, so as not to cause too many casualties among the soldiers." ”

After listening to Amma's words, Yue Tuo shook his head and said, "King Khan, Amma, I don't think it's appropriate. Our method of attacking the city, digging tunnels, digging walls, shield cars, etc. has been mastered by the Ming army, and the Hongyi cannon of the Ming State is powerful, we can't help it, according to me, since Jinzhou is difficult to attack, I will return to Shenyang, so that the soldiers can recuperate. If you take a detour to fight Ningyuan, what if Ningyuan can't bite like Jinzhou? Even if it is captured, it must be more than worth the loss. ”

Yue Tuo's words made Duo Yi quite unhappy in his heart, and reprimanded Yue Tuo in the tone of an elder: "Can there be no casualties in the war? Yue Tuo, I think you were scared by the Ming army, right? If you don't have the guts, you can go back to Shenyang by yourself, and I will fight your fifteenth uncle! ”

Yue Tuo didn't dare to contradict Duoyi, but he also insisted on his own opinion, and said loudly: "Uncle Fifteen, the art of war is cloudy, and avoiding the real is false." Ning Yuancheng was repaired by Yuan Manzi back then, and it couldn't be more realistic, we attacked it twice and were frustrated, why do we have to attack hard? Do you want to repeat the tragic situation of the twelfth uncle? ”

Seeing that Yue Tuo still dared to refute himself, Duo Yi said angrily: "Why did Yue Tuo grow up with the prestige of the Ming people and destroy the ambition of my Eight Banners Force?" Since the rise of our Eight Banners, we have conquered everything, been invincible, invincible, and swept thousands of miles. If you want to fight Ming, the battle that is more difficult than this is still to come, so you can't avoid it? You don't advocate fighting Ning Yuan, where do you say to fight? Just go back like this? Where will the loss of the flags be compensated? Winter is coming, where will the food for the winter come from? ”

After a few words, Yue Tuo asked: Yes, if you can't take Jinzhou, and you don't fight Ningyuan, where will you get the food for the winter? Since the destruction of Guangning, Hexi except Jinzhou is Ningyuan, and there is no important town to speak of. Capture Ningyuan, Jinzhou is a lonely city, Dajin can be based on Ningyuan City, all the way to Shanhaiguan, at that time, the entire Guanwai will become Dajin world. But if you can't attack Ningyuan, you will be in a dilemma again, what should you do?

Sakhalian, Abatai, Shuoto and other large and small Baylors also have their own opinions on fighting Ningyuan, some agree to fight, some disagree to fight, but all the Manchu and Mongolian generals do not agree to fight Ningyuan again, they are really frightened by the tenacity of the Ming army in Jinzhou City, if the Ming army in Ningyuan City is also as tenacious as Jinzhou, wouldn't this city really have to be filled with human lives?

During the quarrel, Huang Taiji suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "What are you arguing about?" Whether to fight or not, Ben Khan has his own decision! ”

The crowd was too busy to say more.

In the eyes of everyone, Huang Taiji suddenly sighed, and then asked Dai Shan with some admiration: "Second brother, who is this Ming general who guards the city?" What are Zu Dashou's subordinates who stayed in Jinzhou? ”
