Chapter 219 The battle of the city head is imminent

The one who led the troops to appear on the outskirts of Pyongyang was Dolgon, the prince of Dacheongrui.

This character, Yu Feng is very familiar, thanks to the overwhelming Qing Palace TV series in later generations, the life of this benevolent brother, that is even the aunts and aunts in the streets and alleys can say a few words, what Nurhachi originally passed on the sweat position to him, but the emperor Taiji made it bad, killed his mother, and snatched his sweat position by the way, and then what did he and the queen mother of Xiaozhuang in the harem secretly Chen Cang...... In short, there were court battles and romances, and his deeds greatly enriched the spare time life of the people of the Celestial Empire in later generations. But no matter how legendary it is, no matter how whitewashed it is, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion from these things, in the early Qing Dynasty, this guy was really a very awesome character.

When Nurhachi died, Houjin had four major beylers and four small beylers, and these four beylers referred to Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai, and Huang Taiji, while the four small beylers were Azig, Dolgon, Zilharang, and Duoduo.

Nearly ten years have passed, the four major Baylors, Huang Taiji has become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and the other Baylors, who should be added to the officials, and those who should be the kings, have almost all become the pillars of the Qing Dynasty. Among these people, no matter which one pulls to where, they are definitely talents who are in charge of their own affairs.

However, Dolgon made an exception.

This exception, not to mention his ability, later generations will know that this old man's ability and means are not bad, the problem is that when Nurhachi died, he was still a little kid, even if Huang Taiji has been in power for ten years now, he is only in his early twenties, and there are so many awesome characters above his head, he wants to shine, but he can't find a chance.

It can be said that Huang Taiji basically used him as a reserve cadre of the Qing Dynasty, and now he can lead an army alone and attack North Korea, that is, Huang Taiji does not take this North Korea seriously at all, so he should be given to Dolgon to practice, after all, Dolgon will still be of great use in the future. In this case, Dolgon had already held back his strength and decided to submit a satisfactory answer sheet to Huang Taiji, to prove that he was also a good student who was both theoretical and practical, excellent in character and learning, and that he had already reached the time of graduation, and if he had any big work next time, he could also be counted as a share.

Galloping across the hinterland of North Korea, he did find a feeling, and he complained a little in his heart that the current emperor had such a good place, why didn't he fight it earlier, but he kept playing some tricks with them and playing some diplomatic tricks. You look at what kind of soldiers these are, field battles, they will collapse at the first touch, and before our cavalry arrives, the other side will be in disarray, running all over the mountains and valleys; Siege of the city, not to mention, these poor and dying Koreans, who don't even have artillery, rely on a few muskets that can't even penetrate leather armor, can they hold the city?

All, all the way to the siege of the city, Dolgon simply did not have a setback, even if he occasionally met a hard bone, according to the city does not fall, it is just a little delay in his time, the whole formation, everyone should climb the ladder of the ladder, the hole of the hole, after the end of the shout, the overwhelming soldiers rushed in.

Of course, for this kind of resistance, Dolgon felt that this wind could not be long, he was not as merciful as Daishan, he was not soft when he killed people, and he did not feel that there was any reason for him to be soft, and he did not hesitate to give the order to slaughter all the cities that resisted, and all the soldiers and civilians were slaughtered.

The effect of the massacre was obvious, after he had slaughtered the second city that was trying to stop his army, his army went south again, and there was basically no organized resistance, if I had to describe the performance of his opponent in four words, it would be "flee from the wind!" ”

In front of it is Pyongyang, which is said to be a first-class city in North Korea, with more than 200,000 inhabitants and deep walls. However, Dolgon is not worried, these days of fighting, he is full of confidence, maybe, when the time comes, well, when he arrives at the city of Pyongyang, he will see an undefended city where all the soldiers have run away, this is also possible, isn't it?

However, the situation seems to be somewhat wrong, and on the day he set up a large camp about 50 miles from Pyongyang City, more than 50 scouts were unable to return in time, and in his experience, these scouts who could not return within the specified time were afraid that they would never return. As he expected, the scouts went out again the next day, and found the corpses of their comrades--- there were no heads, and at the same time, there were still so many dozen or twenty people who went out the next day, and they never returned.

Dolgon was vigilant, and with his conceit of the Eight Banners of the Great Qing Dynasty, he did not think that the other party could keep his scout cavalry when the number of people was almost the same. Then the only explanation is that their scouts fell into the trap of the other party, and from the corpses sent back, it seems that most of them were killed by muskets, and they had fatal injuries from knives, axes, bows and arrows, which was very rare.

Aren't these Korean soldiers all good at using muskets that are not very useful? Dolgon's intuition told him that there must be this elite North Korean army waiting for him near Pyongyang, and that this army must still be the strongest of the North Korean army, perhaps from the Korean capital. However, after judging the way to get rid of the opponent's strength, Dolgon felt a burst of excitement in his heart, after fighting for so long, he finally had a decent opponent, but it was okay to finish the battle, and it would save these guys from running around and being extremely troublesome to clean up.

Instead of the rash advance of the previous days, Dorgon began to gather his forces, and moved his battalion forward with great caution, for a day, two days... It was not until the fifth day that he arrived at the foot of Pyongyang, and by this time, he could already stand on the mountain and see the tall walls of Pyongyang City from afar.

When he stood on the mountain bag and looked at the majestic city, Yu Feng was also standing on the city tower, looking at him, the only difference was that in Yu Feng's hand, there was an extra pair of monocular "clairvoyant mirrors", and this kind of high-tech gadget was obviously a bit extravagant for Dolgon.

Yu Feng looked at the other party's camp slowly, and handed the clairvoyant mirror in his hand to Chen Minzhi beside him.

"It's Dolgon, the son of Nurhachi, and the younger brother of the thief chieftain Taiji!" Chen Minzhi followed the direction pointed by Yu Feng, raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked over, the other party's flag was very easy to distinguish, he could be sure of this, the only thing he couldn't be sure of, among the group of Tartar generals standing under those colorful banners, which one was Dolgon.

"Humph!" Yu Feng snorted in his mouth, but he thought maliciously in his heart, if this Dolgon was folded into his hands, then his colorful second half of his life would be gone, and it would be a great loss to the directors of those Qing court dramas in later generations.

"There is a cloud in the art of war, this offensive and defensive battle, at least five to surround it, I have no less than 20,000 people in Pyongyang now, this Dolgon with such a few people, want to take me Pyongyang, may not underestimate me too much!"

The atmosphere in the city was a little tense, and Yu Feng deliberately broke this atmosphere, and said with some contempt. As a commander, he is most afraid that the army's morale will be unstable and his morale will fluctuate, and if he is afraid of the enemy like a tiger without fighting, this battle will not be able to be fought.

"I look at the banners of this group of Tartars, they are chaotic, they are simply a group of rabble, you can rest assured, my Pyongyang city soldiers are well fed, such clowns who jump off the beam, if they don't come, if they come, their fate will definitely be a feather."

Yu Feng was a little regretful, the huge Pyongyang, the defense is not as good as the new city, except that the city wall is a little higher, a little stronger, the moat is a little wider, and there is not even a cannon, but he just used the clairvoyant mirror to carefully search the other party's camp, and it seems that he did not see the appearance of the other party's artillery camp, it is estimated that there is no cannon, and he also knows that there is no cannon in this city, so he put this camp so close to the city wall.

"Master Cui, look, is that a sergeant from your country?" Chen Minzhi stared at one place for a long time, and handed the clairvoyant mirror in his hand to Cui Yanghao. Cui Yanghao glanced at Yu Feng, took the clairvoyant mirror and looked in the direction of Chen Minzhi's finger, his face suddenly became a little difficult to look at.

"It's some scum!" Cui Yanghao said loudly: "It must be the rout of Ning Andao, who was collected by them, and turned their guns to deal with us!" ”

"The Tartars are already good at arrows and crossbows, and now there is such a battalion of musketeers, my lord, don't take it lightly!" Chen Minzhi frowned slightly and said to Yu Feng, he knew how powerful the firearms of the Fengzi Battalion were, if the other party also had such firearms, it would be a disaster for the defenders at the head of the city.

"It's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out and walk it!" Yu Feng waved his hand: "The wind said lightly: "No matter how powerful the Tartars are, it is impossible to ride a horse to attack the city, and it is not necessary to rely on these foot soldiers, the lot divided by everyone, but it is clear, I once again reiterate my order, which section of the city wall has a problem, it was broken in by the Tartars, and the guard was killed, then there is no need to say, otherwise, you will cut off your own head!" ”

The generals bowed their hands awe: "Obey the orders of the lord!" ”

"I lead 3,000 people, in the middle of the strategy, where is tight, where will I appear, whether the monarch is rich or not, the safety of the family, all in this battle!" Yu Feng Senran said: "If there is anyone who does not obey the order, kill!" Those who are afraid of the enemy, kill! Those who disturb the hearts of our army! Kill! ”
