Chapter 793: Under the City of Liaoyang
These silent, battle-hardened troops, with their different armor, weapons, and wear, and the different colors of their flags, look colorful but not unscrupulous. The army, as if it was about to crush all the obstacles in front of it, the pigtailed soldiers looked at the front with expressionless faces as if they were following the pine forests around the road.
Behind this force, intertwined with golden, silver-white, crimson, and indigo-blue banners, there was a group of tireless cavalry, which passed through the various formations, like carrier pigeons flying in the sky, swam from force to troops, passing on all kinds of orders, and keeping the whole army moving.
Except for the movement of these marches, the whole army was silent. The spring breeze blows the long tassels on the generals' hats, and the more they set off the soldiers' breathless expressions, only the sound of gold and iron from the unintentional clashing of weapons, and the rumble of horses' hooves against the ground, these gentle sounds are like the thunder of a storm, proclaiming the vigor of a new country and the determination to destroy a qiē barrier.
However, there are some subtle differences, most of the soldiers and horses are silent, but there are also a small number of very noisy, the teams of the Eight Banners look over, their faces are disdainful and contemptuous, and the noisy team is unaware, their faces are full of happiness and arrogance.
This is the Ming army that surrendered and belonged to the Ming army in previous battles, perhaps even they themselves are strange, when they were enemies with the Jianzhou Jurchen Jin Army, they collapsed at the first touch, and they didn't dare to fight at all, but now they have taken refuge in the past, they are so brave and good at fighting, dare to charge, and dare to attack the city with bows, arrows, wood and stones, as for the contempt of the soldiers of the Eight Banners around them, these surrendered troops did not take it to heart, and surrender should have been treated like this.
"These scumbags, they can't see the ability to fight and attack the city, and they are happier than anyone else in Shenyang City." There are disdainful discussions such as the Eight Banners Niulu.
In the rear of this large army, closely followed by a small group of cavalry, this cavalry was not in an ordinary marching state, but always surrounded by a man on a tall horse and wearing golden armor, carefully guarding him. And, from time to time, some cavalry went back and forth around him, reporting to him about the state of the army, and at the same time to relay any of his orders.
Every unit that approached this man couldn't help but cast their eyes on this majestic-looking man, and an indescribable enthusiasm rose in the waiting crowd, and even the pace seemed to be a little faster.
Because it was their Great Khan, the man of destiny who led them from victory to victory, this man was already an old man, but he looked like an energetic middle-aged man, with a flame burning from the inside out
It is this person who has been invincible since he raised his army, conquered one tribe after another, and then brought it under his command for the next round of conquest. After more than ten years of conquest, no Jurchen tribe dared to resist his brilliance, and everyone prostrated at his feet, becoming his servants and minions to continue the war.
This kind of brilliance, not long ago to the peak of disbelief, under the leadership of the Great Khan, they with fearless spirit, tossing and turning, defeated several times their own Ming army, and finally in the decisive battle of Salhu let the Ming army annihilated, it seems that the invincible Ming is so vulnerable in front of him, it is like a devastating and decaying.
No one but him could accomplish such a great feat
After winning the battle of Sarhu, Nurhachi had been revered by his soldiers, who had abandoned their initial fears and hesitations, believing that as long as they followed behind him, they would not be able to defeat again, which was exactly the morale that the Great Khan needed.
In the midst of everyone's admiration and gaze, the Great Khan Nurhachi calmly gave orders one after another, maintained the orderly march of the army, and rolled towards the last big city of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong.
In the occasional gap, his mind did not stay in this seemingly endless march, but drifted far away, for a long time.
Yes, he was not as calm as he appeared at this time, but there was an irrepressible excitement, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling, as if he did not feel the cold wind blowing on his face at all.
Because he had just won a huge victory that he had never dared to imagine before, and he also won such a victory as a veritable overlord of Liaodong.
After winning the Battle of Sarhu, Shenyang had been easily taken by his army, and now all that was left was Liaoyang, the largest city outside the Guan, at the end of this road, and no one, no one could stop him from taking such a victory.
As long as Liaoyang is captured, then what place outside the gate can't let him gallop across the country?
When he learned that Nikan Wailan had slaughtered his entire family, when he fled back to Jianzhou with his younger brother in a panic, and when he raised an army with only thirteen pairs of iron armor and declared war on the seemingly unshakable Ming Dynasty, how could he have thought that he would make such a feat
No, this is not the end of the feat, he feels that the ** he conquered has not faded in such a victory, but is burning more and more fiercely.
Juniper and Liu Ling are known as the world's famous generals, but they were defeated again and again in the battle, and even their lives could not be saved; Yuan Yingtai is known as both civil and military, and is the highest-ranking civil official in the Ming Dynasty, but he was defeated in front of his army, and now he can only shrink in Liaoyang City, waiting to be drummed down by himself.
He knew that after such a fiasco, Da Ming would definitely not give up in the future, and would definitely continue to dispatch more generals and more civilian officials to fight against him.
But he was not afraid.
The unprecedented victory not only gave confidence to the soldiers, but also to Nurhachi himself.
In this world, who else can compete with me
After the victory, he was full of ambition and pride, which made the Jurchen Khan laugh loudly.
The cavalrymen next to them didn't know what their Great Khan was laughing at, but they felt the arrogance in the Great Khan's laughter, and they just quietly followed the Great Khan's side without saying a word.
Just as Nurhachi was laughing in the sky, several men on horseback broke out of a column of troops with red flags and galloped towards the place where the Great Khan was.
Such an unusual situation of course attracted Nurhachi's attention, and he couldn't help but look over there, and then the leader of the group of people turned out to be his second son, that is, Dai Shan, the banner owner of the Zhenghong Banner.
"Daishan, what's the matter" When the horsemen were about to come to him, Nurhachi asked directly.
Unlike Nurhachi's casualness, before Dai Shan came to Nurhachi, he immediately turned over and dismounted, knelt respectfully on the ground, and then replied loudly
"Dai Shan has something to enlighten his father Khan"
"Get up and speak," Nurhachilema walked forward slowly.
Because Nurhachi's eldest son Chu Ying was imprisoned by Nurhachi himself a few years ago, Daishan is now Nurhachi's eldest son and an important general under his command, and Nurhachi will give him a certain amount of respect on the surface in public and private.
After receiving Nurhachi's order, Daishan did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly rode on his horse again, and slowly followed the large army with Nurhachi.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Qiqi Father Khan, according to the current marching degree, we will be able to come to Liaoyang City in two or three days" Dai Shan looked at Nurhachi carefully, and after confirming that the other party showed no signs of anger, he asked cautiously, "So Dai Shan wants to ask first, what are the arrangements for the next deployment of Father Khan?" It's better to wait and make preparations later, so that I don't rush to deploy when I get to the city. ”
Dai Shan's expression was very respectful, and it could even be said that he was a little afraid in his calmness, not at all like the generals who commanded tens of thousands of troops in the Houjin State. He had to be so careful, because he knew in his heart that his father had lost absolute trust in him—that he was suspicious of him and could not tolerate a little bit of authority.
Just last year, in the fifth year of the Mandate of Heaven, Nurhachi made Daishan's two sons, Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo, separate from Daishan, and publicly announced the abolition of Daishan's crown prince, on the grounds that Daishan had abused his two sons at the instigation of his stepwife.
After forcing Dai Shan to kill his stepwife, and asking him to swear to his brothers that he would be willing to be punished by heaven and earth if he hated the Baylors and ministers in the future, the Great Khan forgave him, because his prestige had been greatly damaged, and he could no longer win glory with the Great Khan.
After thinking about this qiē, Dai Shan, who had been heavily bruised, no longer dared to show any disobedience to his father, he was afraid that his father, that the Great Khan would one day lock him up and then imprison him as he did with the Great Khan's own brother Shulhaqi and eldest son Chu Ying.
In order to avoid this nightmare, since experiencing this setback, Dai Shan has given the highest priority to the orders of the Great Khan in everything, and will never dare to show any disobedience. He has lost his original ambition, and only thinks about keeping his vested interests in his hands, as long as he does not touch the red flag in his hands, he doesn't care about anything, and he can accept anything.
His deferential attitude made Nurhachi feel satisfied from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at the sun in the distance, Nurhachi narrowed his eyes leisurely.
"What is the morale of your men now?"
"Everyone's morale is high, and they can't wait to rush to Liaoyang City as soon as possible, and then take down this big city and take away the wealth and children of the Ming people" Dai Shan hurriedly replied flatteringly, "As long as there is an invincible father Khan to lead, what are we afraid of?"
