Does Shenyang City sell?

After a long time, Huang Taiji, Zilharang, and Dolgon came back to their senses, and Huang Taiji frowned and said, "What does Yan Envoy mean?"

"What it means."

Hearing Huang Taiji's words, Yan Xia said calmly: "Now that the Ming army has reached Liaoyang City, how long can you hold the Great Khan? Besides, our army of 80,000 is just outside the city of Shenyang, and we are attacking from front to back, and you have no chance of winning at all."

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Ji'er Harang on the side snorted coldly and said, "My 100,000 Eight Banner disciples are invincible, and you Daqi District 80,000 want to threaten us, are you daydreaming?"

"Yan envoys, for the sake of the two armies fighting, don't kill the envoys, Ben Khan won't kill you, you can go."

Huang Taiji said coldly.

"Great Khan, I hope you think about it."

Seeing this, Yan Xia bowed his hand again and said, "The Great Khan's clan is indeed brave and good at fighting, but how long can the Jurchen clan fight? If all the young men and women of the Jurchen clan are killed in battle, is it possible for the Jurchen clan to continue to exist?"

"Besides, now that Shenyang City and Liaoyang City have become battlefields, the Great Khan has fought with the Ming army for more than two years, how much food does the Great Khan have to continue fighting, and I hope that the Great Khan can think about it for your people."

"Let's go."

Huang Taiji waved his hand expressionlessly, and seeing this, several of Huang Taiji's personal soldiers came to Yan Xia and the three of them, signaling that the three of them could leave.

"I hope the Great Khan can think about it."

After Yan Xia saluted again, he left the city tower surrounded by several personal soldiers.

Looking at the backs of the three Yan Xia leaving, Zilharang frowned and said, "Why don't you kill them?"

"Not necessarily."

Huang Taiji said calmly: "The two armies are fighting, and if you don't kill them, a mere second-rate martial artist is not worthy of us pulling down this face."

Although the life and death of the three Yan Xia were just between their thoughts, if they couldn't even tolerate a second-rate martial artist, it would only make others laugh.

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Ji'er Harang snorted coldly, and then turned to leave, although he could catch up and slaughter the three of Yanxia, but as Huang Taiji said, a second-rate martial artist was not worth his face.

Dolgon, on the other hand, took a deep look at Huang Taiji before turning to leave, and he could feel that Huang Taiji seemed to be really considering selling Shenyang City.

After Zilharang and Dolgon left, Huang Taiji walked outside the city tower, staring at the Qi army camp under construction not far away, holding the railing tightly with his hand, and directly smashing the railing.

Yan Xia is not wrong, what if their Eight Banners disciples can fight again, now the Ming army and the Qi army combined have 280,000, even if they really let them win.

How many of their Eight Banners disciples can be left?

Can you still hold Liaodong?

It is simply impossible, because there are too many Han people, even if he kills these 280,000 people, it will not take a few years for the Ming and Daqi to recruit two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses again, and the original battle of Salhu and Shenyang City, they eliminated more than two or three hundred thousand Ming troops, but in just a few years, the Ming Dynasty recruited 200,000 troops and attacked Liaodong again.

What's more, Yan Xia guessed correctly, they really ran out of food, they have been fighting with the Ming army in the Acropolis of Haizhou for the past two years, and they mobilized a large number of Han slaves to participate in the war in the Acropolis of Haizhou, which led to the abandonment of a lot of arable land in Shenyang City and Liaoyang City.

Now that Liaoyang City has become a battlefield, cultivation is naturally impossible, and Shenyang City can continue to cultivate on this side, and their cavalry still occupies an absolute advantage, which can barely be supported.

But now Daqi intervened in this hand, almost breaking their last leg, after all, tens of thousands of troops are on the periphery of the city, who dares to continue to cultivate outside the city, after all, farming is a long-term job, if there is a mistake, that year's hard work will be in vain, and their clansmen will not risk their lives to farm outside the city, as for those Han slaves, if they don't look very closely, that

Some Han Chinese slaves have long since run out.

And this time the time of Daqi's shot is also very fatal, it is now the end of April, it is the time to sow seeds, Daqi comes to this hand, sowing will definitely be greatly affected, the harvest at the end of the year will definitely be greatly discounted, when the time comes, famine will definitely be inevitable, if there is no food, there is no way to fight this battle.

But if he let him sell Shenyang City, he was not very reluctant, he knew very well that Daqi would not offer a high price, because now they were in a weak position, even if they really wanted to sell, they would have to take advantage of it in order to bargain with Daqi.

………

On the other side, the three of Yan Xia also returned to the Qi army camp.

"Governor, the Emperor Taiji has driven us back."

In the coach's camp, Yan Xia said.

"Hard Yan has experienced, you go down to rest first, this official will play the imperial court, and I will ask for credit for you."

Tang Xiangjin chuckled, he was not very surprised by this result, if he was in the position of Huang Taiji, he would not give up Liaodong so easily, after all, the millions of acres of land in the Liaodong Plain, as long as they survive this crisis, the Jurchens can continue to take root here, once they lose it, then they can only go to the grassland.

After the three of Yan Xia retreated, Luo Yi on the side frowned and said, "Old Tang, it seems that we have to fight a protracted battle."

Although they are ready to fight a protracted war, if they really fight a protracted war, it will still be very unfavorable to Daqi, after all, Daqi lacks cavalry and can only passively accept attacks, and without cavalry, logistics will be difficult to guarantee.

Although most of the logistics from Weining Camp to here are mountainous, so there is no need to worry about being cut off by a surprise attack, but there is still a distance of nearly fifty miles from Fengjibao to here, which is flat, and it is easy for the Jurchens to cut off the logistics.

"Long war?"

Hearing Luo Yi's words, Tang Xiangjin said coldly: "No matter how long you have to fight, if you don't sell it, you will fight until they sell it!"

Shenyang City and Liaoyang City cannot all be ceded to the Ming Dynasty, otherwise with these millions of acres of land, the Ming Dynasty will need very little food in Liaodong, and they will have to return to Phoenix City and defend the Acropolis of Gaizhou with all their might, and it will be difficult to hold the territory of Liaodong.

On the third day, the Qi army formed a formation and approached the city of Shenyang.

…

On the tower of the city, Huang Taiji looked at the approaching Qi army with a gloomy expression, with the lesson of the last time, he did not dare to approach the Qi army easily, and the power of nearly 100,000 arrows was still vivid.

At this time, the formation of the Qi army changed, and a large number of soldiers carrying sand and gravel piled up huge forts in the open space, and huge Hongyi cannons were pushed onto the forts.

Looking at the huge Hongyi cannon, Huang Taiji's face couldn't help but change, he was naturally very impressed by the Hongyi cannon, and it was with the Hongyi cannon that Yuan Chonghuan repelled them at the beginning.

On the building, Tang Xiangjin also looked at Shenyang City, in order to deal with the high walls of Shenyang City, it took him three months to send these forty-three Hongyi cannons from Zhenjiang Fort to the Weining camp.

At this time, the gunners of the Hongyi cannon had also adjusted their positions, just waiting for an order.

"Boom!"

Tang Xiangjin waved the flag in his hand.

"Boom"

Under the action of gunpowder, the twenty-pound solid iron ball turned into a small black dot with terrifying kinetic energy and quickly crossed the sky, and then flew towards the city wall.

Bang!

The cannonball smashed into the wall, directly smashing a large crater, and countless debris flew in all directions.

At this moment, all the Jurchens on the city wall were stunned by this sudden earth-shattering roar.

However, the Jurchens were stunned, and the gunners did not, so they lit the arquebuses one after another.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The continuous sound of cannons rumbled, and the solid cannonballs weighing twenty pounds bombarded the city wall with a devastating momentum, and for a while, the entire city wall seemed to be shaking.

Countless gravel was splashed everywhere, but those who were splashed by the gravel were injured at least and killed at worst, and for a while, the wailing was endless.

"Hide under the wall!"

At this time, one by one, Niu Lu really shouted loudly.

Hearing this, the Han and Jurchen people on the city wall lay down behind the city wall one after another.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Although the enemies on the city wall were hiding, the Qi army under the city wall did not stop there, and the continuous cannon roared, and the solid cannonballs weighing twenty catties bombarded the city wall and the city, bringing up countless dust and smoke.

Hide?

Seeing this scene, Tang Xiangjin sneered, if it was useful to hide, this Hongyi cannon would not be so valued by Su Hao.

"Siege!"

Tang Xiangjin waved the command flag in his hand, and one after another orders were handed down.

Soon, the war drums thundered, and hundreds of large and small tiger squat cannons were pushed to the front of the formation, and then began to be more accurate.

At the same time, the siege carts also moved forward slowly, and in front of the ballistas, a large number of Qi troops carrying sandbags approached the city wall under the cover of wooden mantle chariots and shields, trying to fill the moat for the siege ladders, battering rams, and arrow towers.

Eight hundred zhang!

Five hundred zhang!

Three hundred zhang!

"Rise up and defend the city!"

One by one, Niu Lu Ezhen shouted loudly, and at the same time waved the leather whip in his hand, whipping the Han people who were unwilling to stand up.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

At this time, there was another continuous sound of cannonballs, and forty-three solid shells bombarded the city walls.

At this time, the tiger squat cannon that approached two hundred zhang also opened fire one after another, different from the single cannonball of the Hongyi cannon, tens of thousands of stones and iron beads sprinkled on the city wall like a rain curtain, and for a while, the miserable howl resounded through the city wall.

At the same time, on the city wall, Huang Taiji also ordered the cannon, although their Jurchen clan did not have that kind of cannon, but they captured so many large and small cities in Liaodong, and obtained a lot of various artillery, for which they also set up a special artillery battalion.

The next moment, dozens of artillery pieces on the city wall opened fire at the same time, and thousands of stones and iron beads were sprinkled like a curtain of rain on the Qi army outside the city, bringing a lot of casualties to the Qi army for a while.

"Pass the order, all the Hongyi cannons will knock out those cannons for me."

Seeing this scene, Tang Xiangjin ordered.

The next moment, all the Hongyi cannons were aimed at the artillery on the city wall, and a burst of cannon fire rang out, and forty-three solid cannonballs bombarded the artillery at the stomping hole.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

On the city wall, three artillery pieces were shattered, and the fragments of the disintegrated artillery directly smashed the surrounding Jurchens to death and injured a circle!

…

When the sun gradually set in the west, the Qi army gradually withdrew, and at this time, the moat outside Shenyang had been filled, and the originally neat stomping wall on the city was like a dog gnawing it.

………

In the Great Palace, the faces of Huang Taiji, Zilharang, and Dolgon were also gloomy.

"Great Khan, the losses are counted."

"Eight hundred and forty-two soldiers were killed in the battle, of which five hundred and sixty-four were Han slaves, and sixteen pieces of artillery were lost, and fifty-one pieces of artillery remained."

Hearing Kakduli's words, the faces of the three Huang Taiji became even more ugly, they didn't expect that there was a city wall as protection, they didn't expect that there would be such a big casualty, although there were still a lot of Han slaves in the city, but they couldn't withstand such consumption.

"You can't go on like this!"

Dolgon said in a deep voice, "Find a way to cut off the logistics of the Qi army and force them to retreat."

"It's hard."

Hearing this, Huang Taiji shook his head: "The other party's grain and grass should be in the Weining camp, according to the spies' report, a few months ago, the Qi army was reinforcing the Weining camp, and the Weining camp is deep in the mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"Then let the Qi army attack the city?"

Hearing this, Dolgon's brows tightened, according to this trend, the people in the city have to die under the artillery of the Qi army, although the other side can't collapse the city, but the other side still has siege troops, as long as the siege troops approach, their people have to go up, otherwise the city wall is taken, the city will be broken.

There are indeed tens of thousands of Han slaves in the city now, but sooner or later they will die, and their people will have to go up when the time comes.

"I've sent for Manggultai and Azig and Dordor to bring back their troops."

Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "When the time comes, we will discuss whether to attack the Qi army camp or not."

Speaking of this, Huang Taiji couldn't help but sigh deeply, the firearms of the Qi army were too powerful, even if the in-stream martial artists were wearing heavy armor, it was difficult to carry them, in this case, they would attack the Qi army camp without any chance of winning at all, if the loss was too great, they would be all finished.

…

Time passed, almost every two or three days, the Qi army would attack the city once, under the powerful fire of the Hongyi cannon and the tiger squat cannon, although it did not attack the city wall, but also caused serious casualties to the Jurchens in Shenyang City.

…

On the tower of the city, Mang Gurtai, Huang Taiji, Zilharang, Azig, Dolgon, and Duoduo all looked at the retreating Qi army with gloomy faces.

"Do you want to attack?"

Huang Taiji's voice was low, in the past half a month, the Qi army has attacked six times, and many people have been killed and injured each time.

"Hit!"

Mang Gurtai said coldly: "No matter what, we can't let these Qi troops stay here, and now that Daishan has to support it alone, I'm afraid it won't last long."

Although Liaoyang City can still hold on to it now, but when they leave, the Ming army has no worries, and it will definitely attack the city on a large scale, if Liaoyang City is broken, when the time comes, hundreds of thousands of Ming troops will arrive in Shenyang City, and it will be difficult for them to retreat to the grassland.

"Then prepare for war!"

Hearing this, Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said, he has fought all his life, and he is basically attacking, when has he been so aggrieved to defend.
