The cry of "defeated and defeated" was first sparse, then louder and louder, and finally converged into an irresistible torrent, the soldiers of the Ming army shouted while running backwards completely regardless of a qiē, sometimes, they were congested together in a panic, and they were actually fighting each other for who escaped first, as if they had the courage to fight at this time.

Looking at this situation, the Jianzhou Jurchen Jin Army couldn't help laughing, over the years, when the Han army was fighting against them, such a scene had become commonplace, and it also made them more and more contemptuous of the Han people.

Yuan Yingtai, who was supervising the formation in the rear, couldn't help but feel dark in front of him.

The front line had apparently collapsed, and as the previous staff had predicted, the already frightened soldiers did not even dare to fight the Jurchens again.

Now that the front line was reorganized, it was obviously impossible to engage the Jurchens again, so he had to order to quickly collect the troops and let those troops come back first.

Perhaps because of the fear of the cannons on the city, the Jurchens' pursuit lasted only a short time and did not continue, and they laughed outside the city while collecting their troops in an orderly manner, as if they had already regarded Liaoyang City as a bag.

That night, Yuan Yingtai rested in the camp of the Ming army outside the city, but he had no sleep all night, he couldn't sleep at all, he just tossed and turned, and his mind was extremely chaotic. He thought about a lot of things, thought of his own life experience, when he was young, he studied hard, and then the title of the gold list, after becoming a jinshi, he only wanted to serve the court, and after entering the officialdom, he now originally longed for the world is completely different from what he imagined, everywhere is dumping and constraints, everyone has formed a party for personal gain, and no one cares about the safety of the country and the people.

He also wanted to do something at that time, but it turned out that he didn't seem to have accomplished anything, but his official position became higher and higher, and finally he became the Liaodong Governor of the Ming Dynasty, one of the most senior civil officials.

But what did he do for the country as a superintendent?

In addition to failing again and again, losing one city after another, and letting countless Liaodong people fall into the hands of Jiannu, what did he do?

When he realized that the teachings of the sages and sages that he had studied hard since he was a child were of no help to defeat Jiannu, this great Ming Wenchen fell into unprecedented confusion and pain.

After thinking about it, he could only think of one idea in the end: as long as Liaoyang was breached, there would be no place for the Han people in Liaodong, and millions of Liao people would inevitably fall into the hands of Jiannu, and life would be worse than death. As the Liaodong Governor of the Ming Dynasty, he must use his life to take on this responsibility.

Until the dawn of the next day, Yuan Yingtai barely got up and returned to Liaoyang City, although the next day he cheered up and climbed to the city to boost morale, but the Ming soldiers were still depressed, listless in the city under the battle, obviously pessimistic and depressed to the extreme, seeing this situation, Yuan Yingtai and Zhang Quan were heartbroken, but there was no way, they could only sigh at the head of the city.

Their lamentation did not last long, and as soon as it was dawn, the Jianzhou Jurchen Jin army attacked.

Because of yesterday's defeat, now the morale of the Ming army is even more unbearable, and the Jianzhou Jurchen Jin army was directly killed outside the city, and then drove the Han civilians to dig ditches and dig the ground to drain the water, and they didn't take the Ming army in the city in their eyes at all.

Because he was ordered by Nurhachi to be responsible for the siege of the city, Amin was already red-eyed, and personally led his own army to command outside the city, while supervising the progress of digging the ditch

Under the gaze of Baylor and the banner owner, the soldiers with blue flags did not dare to slack off, and desperately urged those Han civilians who were captured by the Jianzhou Jurchen Jin Army from various villages outside the city to dig ditches. At this time, although it was the end of March in Liaodong, it was still freezing cold, and these Han civilians wearing thin clothes, regardless of men, women, and children, were forced to dig the ground with iron, hoes and even hands under the drive of the Jurchen soldiers, and some people had blood on their hands, but in front of the Jurchen whips and knives and guns, they could still only dig the ground while crying. Some people could not bear this terrible torment and suffering, and ran back like crazy, but they were soon killed by the Jurchen soldiers who were watching by them with knives, guns, bows and arrows, and the rest of the people could only keep digging in fear and hunger, and they no longer even expected to survive such a disaster, but just dug in numbness and kept digging

As time passed, from time to time people were stiffened by hunger and cold and dug more and more slowly, even if they were whipped to no avail, and finally collapsed directly to the ground and died, this silent death spread in the wilderness in the cold wind as if it were an infectious disease, and more and more people died, but they did not receive any mercy, and were carried directly to a pit next to them and hastily discarded, like weeds on the side of the road.

Looking at the tragic scene under the city, Yuan Yingtai and Zhang Quan's eyes widened, as if they were about to ooze blood, their hands were clenched tightly, and their whole bodies were trembling.

"Jiannu cruelly harmed the people of my Han family so much, how different is it from beasts" Yuan Yingtai scolded in a trembling voice, "We should not share the sky with Jiannu"

"We are incompetent, we have a negative sacred heart, we harm the people, and we deserve death" and Zhang Quan couldn't say anything, just kept muttering to himself and shaking his head gloomily

Yes, they all knew in their hearts that even if their hearts hurt, they couldn't do anything, they could only watch the tragedy happen, and wait for the tragedy to come to Liaoyang City where they were. This feeling of powerlessness gnawed at their hearts and added to their pain.

Under the ruthless drive of the Jurchen soldiers, although the city kept firing artillery arrows, the trench was still digging longer and deeper, and finally connected with the moat of Liaoyang City, and the water in the moat was immediately led away along the ditch, and the officers and soldiers in the city felt extremely desperate when they saw this situation.

After the water of the moat has become very shallow, Amin was overjoyed, and then issued the order to attack the city from the east water mouth of the city, under the double encouragement of the strict military law of the Jianzhou Jurchen Jin army and the hope of being able to enter the city and loot, the Jurchen soldiers with pigtails howled out of the formation one after another, crossed the trench and attacked the city directly.

Liaoyang City originally had high city walls, and the armor and equipment were also very complete, although the city had lost the battle before, the troops were still sufficient, and there were even red-coated cannons to help. However, even with such excellent conditions, in front of the Jurchen soldiers who rushed over with a howl and kept climbing up from the city wall, the soldiers of the Ming army, who were already frightened, did not dare to engage too much at all, and retreated on their own after only a little contact with the enemy, and did not dare to confront the Jurchens at all, they quickly retreated from the city wall, allowing the Jianzhou Jurchen Jin army to climb the city, and even the officers took the lead in escaping into the city.

"How shameless, how shameless" Yuan Yingtai, who stayed on the city tower to supervise the battle, couldn't help but scold when he saw this scene, "The Liao soldiers have to be so well-nourished by the imperial court, but they are so greedy for life and afraid of death, how shameless it is that they dare not fight with Jiannu"

"Dalai, don't you know yet? The Liao soldiers are all soldiers, these generals only want to preserve their strength, where is there any country in their hearts, where are there any people competing for merit, facing the enemy like a tiger, the country has millions of food and salaries a year, and it has raised such a group of well-dressed beasts and shameless" Zhang Quan next to him also sighed, "If you don't eradicate these generals, the Ming Liao will never be ruined...... What's the use of talking about it now?"

At this moment, one of Yuan Yingtai's personal soldiers suddenly rushed to the city tower.

"My lord, it's not good," he yelled at him.

"What's the matter?" After he got closer, Yuan Yingtai asked loudly.

"Lord Gao, Lord Niu, and Master Hu and Master Fu of the prison army have all run away" There was already a hint of crying in the voice of the pro-soldier, "They all ran away"

A wave of dizziness suddenly hit Yuan Yingtai's heart.

These "adults" in the mouths of the pro-soldiers refer to the Taoist officials Gao Zhu, Niu Weiyao, Hu Jiadong, who served as the supervisor of the army, as well as Fu Guo, the governor of the Ming army, who are all official officials of the Ming Dynasty and should share weal and woe with the country. Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, these officials actually ignored the soldiers and civilians in the city and fled over the city

Shameless and shameless

With such a military general, with such a civil official, the Ming Dynasty is undefeated, and the Ming Dynasty is undefeated, and Yuan Yingtai roared in his heart.

"Come on, don't be angry, such greedy rats who are afraid of death, even if they can escape with their lives and deal with them according to their own national laws, are you still afraid that you won't find justice? I'll just be loyal to my country. Zhang Quan next to him suddenly pulled Yuan Yingtai's hand and reminded him not to lose his temper too much in front of his subordinates.

"Yes, let them go, I'll just be loyal to the country." Under Zhang Quan's persuasion, Yuan Yingtai finally regained some composure, and then, he looked at Zhang Quan with a dejected face, "Yu Heng, so far, I won't persuade you to run away, you and I will stay separately until the end."

What to do after the "final", he doesn't say, of course both of them know.

Zhang Quan looked at Yuan Yingtai, then laughed, and then patted him on the shoulder.

"A good husband deserves to be so big, then I'll go first"

Then he turned away, left the tower without looking back, and went to another part of the city with his own men and some of the troops still able to command.

Amin stood at the foot of the city and watched the soldiers climb the city wall, and his heart was overflowing with ecstasy. He shouted loudly under the city, and asked his own soldiers to deliver orders, and ordered the army to hurry up from the breached city walls to consolidate the gains that had been made.
