The night was dark, and the captives at the head of Shengjing City heard what the Ming army was making outside the city, and with the help of the torches in the hands of the Ming army, they vaguely saw that there were more wooden poles and other things outside the city, and they didn't feel like they were used for siege, so they put their minds at ease.

In the early morning of the second day, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the land of Liaodong, a long swaying human head outside the city pierced into the eyes of the captives.

One, two, three...... Three hundred and forty-one, three hundred forty-two, three hundred forty-three......

Someone counted carefully, and found that they couldn't count it at all, there were too many of them, and it was not only him, it was said that outside every city wall, the heads of the Qing warriors were hung.

The slender rattail was tied to a rope and attached to a bloody human head, and the cold wind blew and swayed like a bell.

What's even more infuriating is that the Ming army really hung a lot of bells between the heads, ringing with the wind, and the bells barely stopped, as if they kept reminding the captives in the city: "The heads of your comrades are here!" Your heads will hang here one day! ”

"Damn! This king is going to kill Chongzhen alive! ”

Hauge hated itchy, and he could see that such a number of heads could not be enough for the people in the forts around Shengjing.

Eighty percent of the reinforcements from Liaoyang were hit hard, but I don't know if Li Shutai was killed.

What made him most angry was that his plan to attack inside and outside was completely bankrupt, which caused his prestige to plummet!

"Order, the defenders at the head of the city are all shut up to the king, and not a word of things outside the city are allowed to leak to the city!" Dai Shan ordered calmly.

"Huh!"

"No!" Fan Wencheng said.

Fan Wencheng was forced to the city wall by Dai Shan with a knife, he looked sick, trembling all over, as if he was really sick, and climbed the city tower tremblingly.

When he saw the "landscape" outside the city, all the haggard was replaced by horror.

He knew he couldn't stay sick at home. The Ming army was in full swing, its combat power was strong, and it was several times stronger than the Shengjing defenders, and once they attacked the city, the consequences were unimaginable.

The royal families of Haoge and Fulin are likely to be captive by the officials, but Hanchen like Zu Dashou, Hong Chengchou and himself, the best result is to cut off their heads.

But if Chongzhen is a little angry, these people must be executed by Ling Chi.

He felt uncomfortable when he thought of this, and vowed to live and die with the Qing Dynasty.

Dai Shan looked at the sick scholar Fan and asked, "What does Mr. Fan mean?" ”

"Don't block messages. Because it can't be blocked at all! Fan Wencheng said in a deep voice, "If we want to hype it up, it will show that the army will kill all the people outside Shengjing City, there are five or six thousand people!" ”

"Huh?" When Hauge heard this, his cold eyes stabbed him like a knife, "What are you going to do?" Don't you think the panic of the soldiers and civilians in the city is not enough? ”

Fan Wencheng bowed: "No! The minister is to inspire hatred! ”

"You elaborate!" Dai Shan muttered.

"The people in the forts and tunzi outside the city have a large number of relatives in the city, if they know about it......"

"I see!" Dai Shan nodded, "Hatred!" You can suppress the panic! ”

"That's right!" Fan Wencheng said, "In addition, we must vigorously publicize that there are no living people outside the city, all of them have been killed by Ming dogs, and once the city is broken, Shengjing will be slaughtered!" ”

Haoge's eyes were still angry, he felt that this was the ambition of the Ming people, this Fan Wencheng harbored evil intentions, but when he saw Dai Shan's face was happy and convinced, he had to listen patiently.

"Mr. Fan is very right!" Dai Shan nodded again and again, "If the city is broken, it will be death, who will not defend it!" ”

Haoge was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and only then did he understand what Dai Shan and Fan Wencheng meant, and said in his heart: "It stands to reason that you have to defend the city or not, and now you still have to use these dead Qing warriors, hey!" ”

"More importantly." Fan Wencheng continued, "The Han people in the city are lucky, and some people even hope that the Ming people will enter the city to rescue them, if they will be slaughtered, they will definitely give up their illusions and defend the city with all their might!" ”

Dai Shan was also worried that there would be a Han riot in the city, and when he heard Fan Wencheng's words, he agreed with his method and ordered: "Then ask Mr. Fan to implement the plan!" ”

"Minions, let's go!" Fan Wencheng gave up.

"If the Han people rebelled, they would kill it, and even think of some schemes, insulting the majesty of the Qing Dynasty!" Hauge was not angry.

"Regent." Dai Shan said displeasedly, "Instead of depleting the vitality of the Qing Dynasty to suppress the Han people, it is better to drive them to the city to defend it!" ”

Dai Shan admits that Hauge is a fierce general, but in terms of strategy, Hauge is far worse than Dolgon, and now there is a crisis, Dai Shan hopes that Dolgon will come out to command, but unfortunately the situation has developed to the point that no one can control it.

Soon, the news that the Ming army was going to slaughter the city spread all over the streets and alleys of Shengjing, and everyone was terrified.

When they learned that the outside of the city was indeed full of heads, there was no luck mentality, so they sent their own families and rushed to the city to help defend it.

At this moment, dozens of catapults of the Ming army were pushed outside the city, and the heads of the Jianjiao were thrown into the city in a hurry.

After two or three hours, more than 1,000 heads fell into the city.

Fan Wencheng did not hide the news, but collected the heads with great fanfare, gathered them, and carried out the incense burning ceremony.

Haoge, Daishan, Zilharang and other powerful people cut their fingers in public, drank blood wine, and swore revenge.

"Kill the dog! Kill the Han Dog! ”

The chanting in the city continued, and the atmosphere of hatred and the will to defend filled the city.

Seeing that the morale was so high, Hao Ge suddenly had a new understanding of Fan Wencheng's talents, and said in his heart, no wonder his father valued Fan Wencheng so much, and discussed with him on issues such as the southern conquest of the Ming Dynasty, the rebellion against the Ming officials, the attack on Korea, and the pacification of Mongolia.

Just as Hauge was thinking about it, several soldiers reported behind him:

"Report! Zu Dashou and Zu Dale wrote a book, asking to defend the city! ”

"Report! Lu Pinqi wrote a letter and asked to defend the city! ”

"Report! Xia Chengde wrote and asked to defend the city! ”

Hauge couldn't make up his mind when he heard this, and said slowly: "Go and report it to Mr. Fan, and he will decide." ”

"Huh."

Seeing the soldiers walking away, Hauge turned to look at the Ming army camp and muttered, "This is the use of strategists!" I have to go back and review "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" a few times. ”

……

The camp of the Ming army.

Chongzhen was routinely patrolling the camp, he looked at the barracks that were quickly rising from the ground, looking at the truckloads of dirt, and his face was full of smiles.

Zhou Yingluo followed behind him and asked, "Your Majesty, where did you dig out so much soil?" How I didn't see many dirt pits. ”

"That's what you want, you can't see the pit in the camp, and you can't see the prisoners in the city, which means that my plan is going well."

"The emperor didn't answer me anything......"

"Do your own thing, don't ask around." Chongzhen said with a smile.

Chongzhen is in a good mood these days, firstly, because Wu Sangui has hit the reinforcements of Liaoyang, and the reinforcements of Tieling and Fushun have already come and are rushing to the ambush circle of the Ming army, and the plan to besiege the city and send reinforcements is very smooth.

The second reason is that the construction of the barracks is very fast, and the soil extraction operation is also very smooth. Not only did it ensure the living and heating of the soldiers, but the siege measures were also carried out in an orderly manner.

The third reason is that Xiong Wei and others also swept smoothly outside Shengjing City, and the looted materials and resources were continuously transported to the camp.

Fourth, because seeing that the Long Army had sent the news that Shen Youtian had gone to sea, thinking of the fate of the powerful and wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan a few months later, Chongzhen unconsciously showed a mysterious smile.
