Chapter 905: Overwhelming

"Lu Shuai, the military heart is available. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Man Gui said admiringly, Lu Xiangsheng is worthy of being a person who reads poetry and books, if it were him, I am afraid that he would not be able to say this morale-boosting words, Chen Jisheng and Cao Wenzhao and others also agreed in unison, especially Chen Jisheng, he is a native of Liaodong, Lu Xiangsheng has personally experienced many tragic things he has just said, and now he can have the opportunity to avenge the people of Liaodong who died in the hands of Jiannu, he is very happy.

"Order officers at all levels to restrain their subordinates, arrange the march matters, and set off immediately in three days." Lu Xiangsheng immediately issued an order, and Man Gui, Chen Jisheng, Cao Wenzhao and others were ordered to go down to make arrangements.

Three days later, Chen Jisheng, who served as the vanguard, took the lead in leading the army out of the city, behind him was Lu Xiangsheng and Man Gui, who commanded the Chinese army, and Cao Wenzhao led the Jingying Palace, and the whole 100,000 mighty and majestic army was divided into several roads, and the people along the way were in the middle of the road to say goodbye, hoping that this army could avenge their relatives as soon as possible, help them regain their land, and return home with a great victory as soon as possible.

Chen Jisheng was full of hope that he could meet the main force of Jiannu as soon as possible and defeat it, but the reality disappointed him, the various walled cities along the way from Ningyuan to Shenyang seemed to have been abandoned by Huang Taiji, which made him a little anxious, you must know that now Yu Zhigao's sailors have already arrived on Phi Island, and it is much more convenient for them to transport soldiers by sea than on foot, if they capture Shengjing first, it will be depressing.

Fortunately, with the deepening of the army, there was finally a trace of Jiannu along the walled city, it turned out that the soldiers of the Eight Banners in the walled city were all hit here, trying to join forces to block the footsteps of the Ming pioneers, they continued to harass with small groups of cavalry to try to delay the speed of the Ming army's march, burning their grain and grass; It's a pity that Chen Jisheng had already taken precautions against this, but when the Jurchen cavalry appeared, it was a fire bolt that hit them, and they couldn't get close to the Ming army's brigade at all.

Easily solving the harassment of these rangers, Chen Jisheng led the army to arrive in front of the walled city of Jiannu, but the garrison here was Dolgon, who was with a white flag, with a total of more than 20,000 men and horses under him, which was similar to the soldiers under Chen Jisheng, but in terms of real combat effectiveness, these Jiannu were probably far behind.

After all, Huang Taiji failed to convince those Eight Banners of the powerful faction, decisively gave up Shengjing City, retreated to the white mountains and black waters, these people have become accustomed to a comfortable life, and then let them go back to the deep mountains and old forests to fish and hunt, and give up the silk and satin wrapped in pigskin, it is already impossible, they stubbornly believe that the previous two failures are because of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but this time the leader is Man Gui, Chen Jisheng and other defeated generals, with the bravery of the Eight Banners soldiers, it is impossible to fight with them.

The previous successive defeats made Huang Taiji's prestige gradually decline, and he couldn't persuade these people to act according to his orders, so he knew to make two preparations, on the one hand, he sent Dolgon and other powerful factions of the main battle to block the edge of the Ming army, on the other hand, he also saved some strength to give to Yue Tuo, who was deeply trusted by him, if things were wrong in the future, Yue Tuo would take these people to flee immediately, and strive to save some vitality for the Jurchens.

"Great Khan, I still stay in Shengjing and lead the army to block the Ming army, you can lead people north." Yue Tuo begged Huang Taiji to take back his life, and in his opinion, he was afraid that he would not be able to complete this difficult task.

"If I escape, who wants to stay in Shengjing to block the Ming army?" Huang Taiji asked rhetorically, but there was a glimmer of life and he didn't want to stay in Shengjing and wait for death, but those short-sighted guys forced him to stay, and he stopped Yue Tuo's words that were about to exit, "When the time comes, you can take Bumu Butai, Ye Bushu, and Shuo Sai away." ”

Huang Taiji has five sons so far, of which the eldest son Haoge has died at the hands of the Ming army, the second Luo Ge and the third Luo Bo died early, and now only the five-year-old Ye Bushu and the three-year-old Shuo Sai are left, as for the later generations to invade the capital, Fulin has not yet been born; Sending the two of them away can be regarded as preserving a trace of blood and bones for him, Bumu Butai will raise them to adulthood, Huang Taiji knows that Bumu Butai is quite strategic, and believes that she has the ability to save the lives of these two children.

"The minions obey the order, and the minions will keep the two little Baylors safe even if they risk their lives." Yue Tuo also had nothing to say, and after a quiet salute, Gong quietly retreated, and began to prepare for the escape; And Huang Taiji continued to think about ways to delay the Ming army in the palace, he no longer had the luxury of hoping to be able to block the Ming army in Shengjing City, and he could delay for a few more days, and let Yue Tuo go far away was the biggest victory.

It's a pity that Dolgon didn't seem to mean this, he stood on the city and looked at Chen Jisheng's banner with disdain, "It's just that my Dajin's subordinates are defeated, who will take off his head with me?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned, Dolgon was young and didn't know the depths, his generals were all battle-hardened, just from the appearance of the Ming army, they knew that this was a hard bone, no one was willing to bury their subordinates, and no one agreed for a while.

Without waiting for Dolgon to get angry, the Ming army under the city began to attack, all the cannons in General Chen Jisheng were concentrated at the city gate in the south, and launched a fierce attack, the scene of Zunhua and Liaodong was repeated again, countless Eight Banners soldiers fell to the ground in the artillery fire, and Dolgon would have been injured in this wave of attacks if he had not been pounced on by the guards around him.

Although Jiannu also placed cannons at the head of the city, those cannons were not at the same level compared with the artillery of the Ming army, and the quality of the gunners was also very different.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Ming army soon broke through the defense of the city wall and entered the city, and Dolgon's white flag launched an accumulated battle, they had been demoralized by artillery fire before, and now the Ming army is not what it used to be, and they have not eaten for a long time recently, under the elimination of the other and the other Jiannu was quickly defeated, even Dolgon died in the chaos, and the first battle of the army to the north was easily won.

By sea, Yu Zhigao also commanded the sailors to set off from Phi Dao and land at the port closest to Shengjing, where there were not many Jiannu defenses, and they moved forward with the same ease, and the two armies and horses quickly converged under Shengjing City.

And the Huang Taiji in the city was ready for defeat, Yue Tuo left Shengjing with Bumu Butai, Ye Bushu and Shuo Sai, and Huang Taiji now only wanted to be able to block Lu Xiangsheng and Yu Shigao for a few more days, so as to buy them time.
