The attack lasted only one afternoon, and no less than two thousand people died. Twice as many people were injured as were killed, and almost 70 per cent of them were left with disabilities. In other words, there are many more wasted people in the Eight Banners who lack arms and legs, and can't work just by eating.

Just yesterday, when he set off from Liaoyang, Nurhachi was still full of confidence.

With the help of the red-haired cannon, he felt that he could easily take Jinzhou. Then in Jinzhou, he waited for work at ease, and annihilated Li Xiao who hurried over like Shenyang. And then capture Shanhaiguan, if everything goes well, Nurhachi still wants to go to the capital to take a turn.

When I was young, I went to the capital, but at that time it was a gift, and the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty at that time ruled the world for a lifetime. I want to see the appearance of the invincible Ming Dynasty emperor trembling on the city wall.

Unexpectedly, in Jinzhou City, Nurhachi touched the ash of his nose.

"Amma! Although we suffered a lot of casualties, the casualties of the Ming army were also very heavy. If you look at the missing battlements on the city wall, you can see that one battlement is almost a human life. As for those who were killed by firearms, and those who were killed by bows and arrows, it is not clear.

Li Yongfang said that the main force of the Liao army is here, so Shanhaiguan must be very weak. Why don't we attack Shanhaiguan directly? When Mang Gurtai said this, Amin rolled his eyes.

"Old Five! Let's go to Shanhaiguan, if the guards of Jinzhou don't know to stab us in the back, it will be too idiotic. Besides, even if we really beat Shanhaiguan, we can't live there and not come back. On the way back, do the tired soldiers still have to pass through Jinzhou?

At that time, the Ming army came out of the city to fight, should we fight or not? Dai Shanpi taught his younger brother a lesson without smiling.

The Four Great Beylers, Daishan, Mongol Ertai, Huang Taiji, Amin! Amin is a nephew, and there is no possibility of competing for the throne of Khan. Since Huang Taiji's accident, Mang Gurtai has been Dai Shan's biggest competitor.

Now that there is a chance to make Mang Gurtai deflated, Dai Shan will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity to prove that Mang Gurtai's intelligence is an idiot level in front of Nurhachi.

"Hit it, what are you afraid of?" Mang Gurtai stalks his neck, showing off his inferior IQ.

Amin touched his nose, the two blue flags have always been in the same breath, but now Amin doesn't know how to help Mang Gurtai speak.

"Amma! I have an idea! While everyone was laughing at Mang Gultai, Hauge suddenly stood up and bowed to Nurha.

"Oh! Dolgon, what's your idea? Nurhachi saw that it was thirteen-year-old Dolgon who spoke, and immediately asked.

"Amma! Jinzhou City has an urn city, such a city defense is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if we attack hard, it will hurt many people. Moreover, the city wall was also sealed with ice, and the cannonballs almost broke the city wall, and it failed to blow the city wall down.

The death of so many Eight Banners today is really the misfortune of Eight Banners. Why don't we drive the Han slaves to attack the city, and at the same time concentrate the cannons of the red-haired people to attack a point ...... the city wall! ”

"Haha! You can figure it out and let the Han people attack the city. Those Han people went to the battlefield, and they weren't scared to pee all of a sudden, what kind of battle to fight. Yue Tuo shouted with a smile, not giving the little uncle face at all.

"Let Dorgon finish." Nurhachi glanced at Yue Tuo, who immediately shut up and did not speak.

"It's not okay to let those Han people attack the city, but it's always right to let them dig the city. They are a people who dig in the soil, and now they are not bad at digging the city walls.

Just take advantage of the night to dig out a big hole and fill it with gunpowder. Even if the walls are frozen hard, they can be blown down. As long as the city wall collapses, we can't defeat the Ming army inside? Dorgon gave him a smug glance at Yueto, who pouted and didn't speak.

"Even if they don't succeed, they all die as worthless Han Chinese slaves. It's not our Eight Banners kids! Seeing that Yue Tuo didn't speak, Dolgon filled in a sentence.

This last sentence touched Nurhachi, and the casualties were too great. Although he has an army of 60,000 under his command, he can't withstand such attrition. According to this method of consumption, it will be spelled out in a few days.

It is definitely not possible to let the Han people fight, if the Han people are good at fighting. It was also impossible for the Jurchens to achieve a series of brilliant victories!

Dolgon was right, the Han people could not fight, but they could dig the earth. Let them dig the walls, it's always right. There were 30,000 or 40,000 Han slaves in the army, and all of them were young and strong. It's all dead, and Nurhachi won't feel distressed.

"Ask him how big a hole he needs to hold enough gunpowder to blow down the walls." Nurhachi asked, pointing.

The tongue man hurriedly translated Nurhachi's words to Yuyi, and took a look at Jinzhou City, which was still smoking in the dusk. The thickness of the city wall was estimated. Compare yourself to your own height!

Without speaking with an interpreter, Nurhachi understood.

He meant digging a hole about the same height as him, and as long as he dug deeper, he could blow through the walls inside.

Filling it in one night with tens of thousands of people can definitely dig a hole one person high, and Nurhachi thinks this is very feasible.

"The banner slaves of each banner are handed over to Dorgon for deployment. All flags are ready to be armed, just blow up the walls. Two red flags took the lead, and two blue flags followed. No matter what, you have to take Jinzhou City. ”

"Huh!" After Nurhachi finished speaking, the bezibels below agreed in unison.

Yuan Chonghuan stood at the head of Jinzhou City, and then looked at the Tartar army formation in the distance in the afterglow of dusk.

Before the war, he had received a warning from Li Xiao, and it was likely that there would be red-haired people participating in the war. Yuan Chonghuan had never seen red-haired people, but he had heard that those guys were very powerful. Firearms, in particular, are very sharp.

As a southerner, Yuan Chonghuan hates the ghost weather in Liaodong very much. For thirty-nine days, the stones were frozen and cracked. During the Chinese New Year, the stray dogs froze to death.

But now, he had to thank the weather for the frozen drops. The method that Zu Dashou came up with in Jinzhou was very effective, and the wooden planks were filled with frozen straw, which protected the city gate well.

If it hadn't been poured on the city wall beforehand, it is estimated that the city wall would have been collapsed by artillery bombardment. Strange to say, the city walls, which have been watered and frozen into ice, actually have a strange toughness. The cannonballs hit the city walls, but the bricks did not scatter.

Exhaled a heavy breath of white air, and today is considered to have passed. According to past experience, the Tartars do not fight at night.

"Sangui should go to Shanhaiguan, will Lord Li send troops overnight?" When Wu Xiang spoke, a long white gas erupted from his mouth. Everyone knows that the Jiliao Inspector is Mao Wenlong. But it is Li Xiao who really speaks, and the Inspector is just a tablet.

Except for the management of eating, drinking, and Lazar, the things of war are not squeaked at all.

"It's definitely coming, we're done. His Shanhai Pass is also not easy to guard, don't look at his soldiers, food, and firearms. But just a few thousand people can defend the defense line of more than 200 miles of Shanhaiguan? Jinzhou was lost, and his life was not easy. "It was He Kegang who answered, today's team was defending Nancheng, and the casualties were relatively minimal.

"Don't say that the chief soldier is not, although he is young. But definitely not without responsibility, I'm just worried that he will encounter an ambush of Tartars on the way. Yuan Chonghuan turned around and glanced at He Kegang.

The team was noisily changing guards, and after a day of fighting, the walls were littered with corpses and broken bricks. The corpses were carried down by the people, and the bricks were left. When it matters, these bricks can also be used as weapons. It is enough to suffer such a brick in the winter.

"Just took stock, and half of the brothers in the city were killed or wounded. Almost all of them were injured, and they all died. Damn, it's all red-haired firearms. "Zu Dashou "spit", today he guarded the north gate, and his men suffered the heaviest casualties. He was eager to rush out with his cavalry and take out the red-haired artillery.

But the cavalry of the Eight Banners were on both sides of the cannon, and the result of rushing out could only be death.

"Look at the sea, there are more than twenty warships of the red-haired people. There is one of the big five-masted ships of the adults, how to fight. Wu Xiang pointed to the warship of the red-haired man on the sea with some dejection, although due to the range, the naval guns did not bombard Jinzhou City. But it was only a matter of time before the port was occupied, and the aid that had been hoped for from here now seemed to be in vain.

Fortunately, there is enough food in the city for half a year, otherwise I really don't know what to do.

"We also killed a lot of Tartars, and spent the night preparing obstacles in the streets and alleys. Even if the city is broken tomorrow, we must hold on and wait for the arrival of the chief soldier. Yuan Chonghuan turned his head and looked at these veteran ruffians.

Li Xiao really chose the right person, although he is a scholar. But Yuan Chonghuan's ability to lead troops is outstanding, in his words.

"You are a scholar in the main department, but you don't know that the main department is a general."

Zu Dashou, who was very bad-tempered, didn't dare to scold Yuan Chonghuan. On the contrary, he was often reprimanded by Yuan Chonghuan!

Yuan Chonghuan knew that it was unrealistic to expect the city wall to be able to withstand the cannons. It is already a miracle to be able to carry it for a day today. There is such a thing as a war, and you can't pin your hopes on miracles.

That's going to kill worse than a pig!

"No!" Before the generals' voices dispersed, they heard more than a dozen muffled voices on the opposite side. Immediately, the city wall under his feet began to shake one by one.

By this time, it was almost completely dark, and the moon in the sky was no different from nothing. In the distance, only the fire from the muzzle of the cannon could be seen.

"Listen, all you have to do is dig a big hole seven feet deep and eight feet high. All of you carry the flag, and the whole family carries the flag. From now on, you will be the bannermen, with houses and land, and the rewards of the Great Khan.

No one will sleep with your wife or daughter, and no one will let your son do the work for his house. If you're lucky, you'll be able to grab two slaves back. It's not impossible to grab a big girl with yellow flowers and be a little wife.

All of this depends on whether you are working hard tonight. If you don't want your son to be born a clothed slave, if you don't want your wife and daughter to be slept with by others, go and dig up Jinzhou City for me.

Think about it! Raise the flag, this opportunity is not always available. Now, stand up to the front if you are willing. A chubby fellow shouted Dolgon's words at the opposite side of the black press over 10,000 Han Chinese slaves. After saying that, he didn't forget to turn to Dolgon and show a flattering smile.

Pity! Dorgon didn't even look at him.

If Li Xiao was here, he would be surprised. This is none other than Lin Kewang, the original Liaoyang Mansion. Sometimes people who read books are shameless, but there is no lower limit.

These people were originally residents of Liaodong, and they had been reduced to slavery for several years. In the past few years, it has not been a human life. Now that they heard that there was an opportunity to raise the flag, some people began to stir.

Soon there was a commotion in the ranks, and there was a "buzz" and "buzz" of talking everywhere. Some people want to go to the front, but they don't dare to make a bird.

Not everyone has a patriotic heart.

"Damn! Lao Tzu is fed up, who wants to follow Lao Tzu. A voice rang out, and a big man stepped forward. I couldn't see my face clearly in the dark, so I just stood in front of the platform.

"! Fight! In the darkness, several people came out one after another, standing in front of the big man.

"Phew! Traitor of dog day! There was a shout of scolding from the crowd.

"Whoever said it, who the fuck said it. Stand out! Lin Kewang stood on the platform and asked loudly. The official authority is not at all inferior to that of the prefect of Liaoyang.

When no one speaks, a fool will come out and admit it.

"What's going on?" Dorgon asked in Manchu.

"Some people scolded these people who came forward as traitors."

"Oh! Find out the curse guy. ”

"Huh!"

Finding a few people to talk to out of tens of thousands of people is not ordinary. With years of experience as an official, Lin Kewang quickly settled this trouble.

"Listen, who identified the guy who just cursed. Tonight, white flour steamed buns, pork stewed and dried vegetables are all you can eat. If I don't identify them, I'll just point to a few random people. Pray to God and worship the Buddha, and don't point to yourselves. ”

There are carrots, and there are sticks. No one dared to scold again, because they knew that the Tartars were really murderous.

Confusion began in the ranks, and the Eight Banners with torches drew their knives. The blade of the snow was shiny, emitting a cold light under the torch.

Soon, a dozen people were pushed out of the ranks.

Dolgon didn't talk nonsense, and pointed with his hand. Immediately, a cavalry rushed over and slashed at the dozen or so men. The screams came one after another, and after a while, a dozen people were silent. The bloody breath spread all at once.

"There are still people who have not come forward, and now someone has come forward. The fourteenth Belle Lord only needs a thousand people, and the opportunity is rare. Think clearly! Lin Kewang pointed to the hundred or so people standing under the platform and continued to shout.

Now that someone has stepped forward, the rest no longer hesitates.

"I'm coming!"

"Count me in."

"I'll do it too."

The noise and shouting came one after another, and in a short time there were no less than 3,000 people standing under the platform.

"Lin Kewang, you take them to have a full meal. Follow me Dolgon to do things, how can I do it if I don't eat enough. According to what you said, the stewed pork with white flour steamed buns and dried vegetables is delicious.

For many of them, it was the last meal of their lives. ”

"Lord Belle, you are truly merciful."

"It's not mercy, it's because you're full that you have the strength to cut down the walls." Dorgon glanced disdainfully at the crowd under the black crowd below, turned and left.
