Wu Sangui, who was on the city wall, looked at the fire in front of him, and felt restless, "Jianyu is really amazing, this fire has burned all the available materials of the Ming army, and it has also seriously hindered the speed of the march." ”

Until the fire is extinguished, it is impossible for the Ming army to continue the offensive. In addition, the snow melted by the fire flowed everywhere, and when it got dark, it would freeze, and the road would be slippery, making it difficult to march.

"What the hell is the emperor thinking?" Wu Sangui complained again.

"Brother! What's wrong with you? Wu Sanfu couldn't believe how the eldest brother, who was calm in the past, was so anxious and unscrupulous.

"The emperor's wisdom is far superior to ours! You can wait for the military order with peace of mind! Song Xiance said.

Wu Sangui sighed, and grabbed the battlements with both fists, "I'm worried that the emperor doesn't trust my Wu family!" ”

Wu Sanfu was stunned when he heard this, "What does the eldest brother mean, Wu Sanfeng?" ”

"Don't forget, the real eldest brother of the Wu family should be Sanfeng. Since he surrendered to Huang Taiji, my father expelled him from the Wu family and recognized me as the eldest son! ”

"No, it won't! My father sacrificed his life for the country and was beheaded by Li Zicheng in front of the battle, and our Wu family can be regarded as a loyal martyr's family. How can a person who has been expelled from the genealogy affect the emperor's trust! Wu Sanfu shook his head.

"In the emperor's eyes, I can feel the deepest distrust in his heart." Wu Sangui was deeply worried.

"I think you're overthinking." Wu Sanfu disagreed.

"I hope so." Wu Sangui looked at the sea of fire in the inner city of Shenyang and sighed, "As long as we can capture the captive chieftain Fulin and Dolgon in this battle, the Wu family can really stand firm." ”

Chongzhen ascended the castle, and he could clearly feel the heat wave in the sea of fire, in stark contrast to the biting cold wind behind him.

"Fire and Ice...... I stand on this dividing line, and sooner or later I will let this fire burn into the city of Shenyang! ”

If my father and brother knew that I had led a large army here and besieged the captive chieftain in the city, they would have been extremely relieved.

The consciousness in the depths of Zhu Youjian's mind seemed to be trembling, and a tear slipped down his cheek, falling in the wind at his jaw, condensing in the air, crystal clear.

"Herald ......" Chongzhen said slowly, "withdraw the defenders of Dongcheng, and camp on the west, south, and north sides, and arrange defensive fortifications at the same time. ”

"Yes."

The lieutenant officer was ordered to go and spread the oracle to all parts of the army.

Chongzhen's lieutenant soldiers already knew the specific measures, and immediately began to arrange in the open space 10 meters outside the city wall, and began to build five snow walls.

These walls can be 1 meter high and 1 meter wide, and a wall of snow is piled up every three meters.

As a result, any enemy attacking from the outside had to climb over or destroy the snow wall in order to launch a concentrated onslaught, giving the Ming army a lot of time to counterattack.

Moreover, the height of 1 meter can effectively hinder the enemy's march, and at the same time, it is not enough to give them enough shelter, and the enemy army has no other way but to find a way to tear down the wall.

The snow outside the city is at least one meter deep, which is convenient to collect materials, and can be carried and compacted nearby, and the piling speed is very fast.

Xiong Wei took the soldiers to the moat, and now the water in the moat has long been frozen, and the soldiers use hammers and long saws to collect ice, transport it to the city, and constantly raise the city.

Hauge is on the 8-meter city wall, looking down condescendingly, and it is easy to know the movements of the Ming army.

"The Ming army wanted to emulate the previous emperor's way of besieging Jinzhou, but unfortunately they miscalculated. Two years ago, Jinzhou was the front line of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and we could take turns to garrison without worrying about supplies, but now they are alone in the depths, and they have no long-lasting combat ability at all, and once they run out of food, they will definitely retreat. ”

Hauge laughed at the Ming army and was very disdainful.

"Definitely!" Dai Shan spoke.

"How?"

Dai Shan's face was not very good, "The Ming army is based on ice and snow as a wall, which is neither strong nor long-lasting, even if it can block our current attack, after the beginning of spring, it will definitely melt ......"

"What does Prince Li mean?"

"Chongzhen is preparing to take Shengjing before the beginning of spring!" Dai Shan's decisive way.

"Arrogance!" Haoge shouted, "It took two years for the first emperor to besiege Jinzhou, and Chongzhen actually wanted to quickly take Shengjing in the middle of winter, which is extremely arrogant!" ”

"Report ......" a scout rode over, "The regent, Prince Li, the Ming army in the east of the city has been withdrawn!" ”

"Circumference three missing one?" Dai Shan blurted out.

"Minggou thinks we're going to abandon the city and run away?" Haoge's face was strange, "Chongzhen shouldn't be so naïve." ”

"It's still difficult to judge, first send a few scouts outside the city to see if there is an ambush." Prince Li said.

"Whoa......

"Oh, by the way, send someone to the west of the city, and say that Prince Daqingli wants to see Prince Yu and ask him to go outside the city for a while."

"Huh!"

"Prince Li, why bother...... Hehehe. Hauge chuckled.

"This king never believed that Duoduo would surrender, and he didn't believe that he would act as a pawn for the Ming Kingdom and come to call the door."

Hauge was noncommittal, took a few steps back and sat down, closing his eyes and recuperating.

……

In the winter of Shenyang, the dark hour is very early, it will be dark around 6 minutes (4:30 pm), and today is a snowy day, and the sky is darker earlier, and the temperature drops rapidly.

Hauge was originally preparing for a surprise attack, but considering that the morale of the Ming army was high and the temperature was low, he gave up the idea of a night attack. He was going to let the Ming army freeze for a few days before launching a night attack.

In the face of the severe cold at night, the Ming army had already prepared, they lit countless bonfires, after cooking, boiled pot after pot of hot water, filled the warm water bag, the soldier took out the sleeping bag invented by Chongzhen, and went directly into it with the warm water bag.

At night, in addition to the normal night patrol soldiers, there are also special people carrying hot water and changing the water for the sleeping soldiers from tent to tent to prevent frostbite.

"Your Majesty, it's not a way to go on like this!" Zhou Yingluo accompanied Chongzhen to stand on the castle, and the biting cold wind cut her face like a knife.

"The incident happened suddenly, the army attacked first, and the baggage did not keep up, so it could only be dealt with first. When the follow-up troops arrived, they built a conservatory, and the soldiers would not have to suffer from the cold. Although Chongzhen also feels sorry for the soldiers, there is no better way for the time being.

Although the emperor felt that the conditions were difficult, the ordinary soldiers felt that they enjoyed the highest level of treatment.

Especially the Guanning army, they have all marched and camped in the ice and snow, where have they seen any sleeping bags and warm water bags, in the past winter battles, it must have caused large-scale frostbite, but now, this is almost not the case.

Although it was dark, it was still early, and the soldiers did not feel sleepy, and they were all chatting in the tents and warm sleeping bags.

"Our emperor is really a god, he can invent such a thing as a sleeping bag! Along the way, I haven't heard of anyone getting frostbite while sleeping! ”

"That is, our emperor is a god of heaven and must be omnipotent."

"Then why was he still pressed and beaten by Jianyu for sixteen or seventeen years, and he was also attacked by thieves in Beijing."

"Shh......h Silence...... Hitting people doesn't slap their faces, and exposing people doesn't expose their shortcomings! Especially the emperor's short. ”
