Captured civilians?

Chongzhen looked at the small black dots that he thought were stragglers, moving slowly, and his head exploded.

What a ruthless heart!

However, this is the capital master, what effect can Jiannu have when he drove the people to attack the city?

Even if he has mercy on the other party, it is impossible for Jingying to be soft in order to protect the royal driver.

Besides, a few hundred people placed on the Beijing city wall with a radius of more than 40 miles is almost a small wave, and it can't set off strong winds and waves at all.

Watching patiently, Chongzhen saw that the Jianzhou army escorted a row of people to their military formation, and then a knight dismounted, pointing to the city wall and scolding.

When he was tired of scolding, he returned to the army.

Chongzhen looked at it, but those people seemed to be still in place, just staggering.

Suddenly, his blood surged, how could he not understand that these innocent people were all beheaded by Jiannu on the spot.

Hateful!

Chongzhen raised his right fist high and gently lowered it.

The Jianzhou army was clearly trying to provoke the defenders by killing prisoners and cursing the formation.

Once the defenders really gave up the advantage of the city walls and fought in the field, they were in the right hands.

In history, Man Gui led an army of 40,000 and died in a battle outside the Yongding Gate!

The difference in strength between the Ming army and Jianzhou can be seen.

Although Mangui's so-called "big army" has a lot of water, many of which are Liaozhen soldiers who are panicked because of Yuan Chonghuan's imprisonment, and there are also many ruffians and hooligans temporarily recruited from the capital, and their combat effectiveness is extremely poor, but it can be regarded as the main force of the Ming army.

Strange to say, the Ming Dynasty has always attached great importance to urban ruffians, believing that these people are more courageous than ordinary peasants and are the best source of soldiers. It ran counter to the mainstream military thought of the European HRE and Italy of the same era.

This is also the reason why after the Ming Dynasty entered the conscription system, not only the combat effectiveness was extremely poor, but also the military discipline was corrupted.

At this moment, suddenly the Jinyi guard under Banzai Mountain ran up panting.

"Report!"

Chongzhen bowed his head and motioned to the brocade guard to report the military situation.

"Sun Zushou, the chief soldier of the Qinwang Army, took the initiative to ask to go to war!"

Sun Zushou? Which way did he take him? Chongzhen was a little puzzled.

Wang Chengen on the side explained, "Long live the lord, this Sun Zushou was originally appointed by Sun Chengzong as the commander of the Western Association in the three associations of Jizhen, and he has jurisdiction over many passes west of Zunhua with the rank of deputy commander-in-chief. ”

Chongzhen's eyebrows jumped, good guy, dare to love the Jianzhou soldiers who invaded this time were put in by Sun Zushou?

I only heard Wang Chengen say again, "It's just that after Sun Gaoyang was knocked down, this Sun Zushou was helpless, and soon he returned to his hometown due to being attacked." ”

Chongzhen suddenly realized, but he was a little dissatisfied with Wang Chengen's speech.

I only heard Wang Chengen say again, "This time, Sun Zushou originally had no soldiers under his command, but he scattered his family wealth and raised 2,000 volunteers from Changping County and other places, and he also rushed to King Qin early, so he reinstated him to the rank of deputy chief soldier, but he had no soldiers and no jurisdiction." ”

Chongzhen was a little moved after hearing this, I have only heard of officials in the Ming Dynasty who are desperate to make money, and this is the first time I have seen this kind of self-paid service.

Presumably, this Sun Zushou is a bloody man, plus these are the righteous and brave people in the suburbs of Beijing, and he can't stand the agitation of Jianzhou, so he can't hold it back, and he has to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight.

However, at the moment, they still can't be allowed to go out of the city to fight.

First, the Xiangyong organized by Sun Zushou did not receive decent military training at all, and he was just sent to death when he met Jianzhou.

Second, good steel should be used on the blade, the more good men with such blood and strength, the more Chongzhen doesn't want to waste them in this kind of place.

In the future, train a strong army and smash the Yellow Dragon, isn't this fragrant?

Coughing, Chongzhen said some nonsense such as taking the initiative to ask for loyalty and bravery, but the battle situation is not clear, and Sun Zushou and others continue to carefully defend the city.

Fool Sun Zushou's invitation to fight first.

He asked the brocade guard again, "Liangxiang is full of Guiman soldiers, is there any new news?" ”

Jin Yiwei replied, "At present, I only know that Jianzhou once attacked Liangxiang County, and the defenders were slaughtered. ”

Chongzhen was a little depressed in his heart, could it be that he made a mistake? As soon as he met the famous historical general Man Gui, he lost the other party.

Jin Yiwei added, "However, it has been a while since the city of Liangxiang was broken, and the looting of the Shanxi soldiers should be after the city was built and broken. The Manchu General Army should not have clashed with Jianzhou, and there was no relevant battle report. ”

Chongzhen's heart was relieved, and it was a blessing in misfortune that Mangui had nothing to do. However, since Jiannu is now in the city, he hopes that Man Gui will not forcibly return to Beijing, so as not to repeat the mistakes of history.

With a wave of his hand, "Go down, explore and report again!" ”

Returning to his seat, Chongzhen just wanted to calm down, but saw that Jiannu played a new trick again, only to see that they suddenly let go of their control over some of the people, and these small black dots scattered and fled.

Some fled under the walls, banging helplessly at the gates, others avoided the walls far away and ran only to the periphery of the army, and still others remained motionless as if they were frightened.

After a short time, the Jianzhou soldiers once again drew their bows and arrows, first shooting the people who were still on the spot, and then shooting at the people who fled along the base of the city wall and those who were hiding under the city gates, as if they were engaged in some kind of primitive hunting game.

Although he couldn't hear the distant sounds, Chongzhen's ears seemed to echo the screams of those fugitives.

After shooting all the people nearby, the Jianzhou soldiers targeted the fugitives in the distance.

It's just that these people have fled too far, and even a few arrows seem to have shot down only one person. It seems that these black spots are about to escape.

At this time, several more members of the Jianzhou cavalry mounted their horses, pulled the noose, and chased the fleeing people.

How can the strength of human feet be comparable to horsepower? Not long after, a few lucky people were also caught in the Jianzhou soldiers and were dragged back to the Jianzhou camp.

This is not only to treat these people as prey, but also to leave them with this last glimmer of life!

Seeing that these Jianzhou cavalry were about to return, suddenly there were a few muffled noises from the city.

It was the defenders who fired cannons with hatred, and even if there were only a few people, they wanted to kill them!

It's just that the level of artillery operation of the Ming army is really ordinary, and the target is also moving at high speed, so none of these cannons hit the target.

After escaping back to the main formation, these Jianzhou cavalry who were walking through the artillery fire did not seem to be happy.

They looked at the Ming army at the head of the city, as if with contempt on their faces, and dragged the people on the ground to run around the army formation a few times.

When they returned to the army and untied the noose, the people who had been dragged before were obviously out of breath.

Seeing this scene, Chongzhen's hand turned white by the bone joints he held.

The subjects of an empire, before the capital of this empire, are hunted like animals by the enemy.

Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable?

Sure enough, after a while, another herald hurried up the hill.

"Report! The commander-in-chief of the Qinwang Army, the commander-in-chief of Changping, You Shiwei, asked to fight! ”

Chongzhen was silent for a moment. If he himself is a general commanding the head of the city, he may not be able to choose forbearance at this moment.

However, the generals under his command were so enthusiastic that he had to consider the consequences of continuing to forbear.

Although our own side is at a disadvantage, it will definitely be a big blow to morale if we discourage the enthusiasm of the soldiers to fight to the death with the enemy.

More importantly, the result of this battle will never stop at the capital, but will fly to all corners of the Ming Dynasty with a Fengdi newspaper and a Tang newspaper.

If those commanders and generals see the emperor like this, will they all learn from each other in the future and not be able to shrink back?

The ghost envoy sent the gods, Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Yes!" ”

"Bring more soldiers, horses, deer and firewood, and the Beijing camp at the head of the city will give full support!"
