Chapter 717 Three conditions

Mist shrouded the southern city of Liaoyang.

The air that should have been fresh was filled with a dizzying, pungent smell of blood.

Yang Chengying rode his horse and entered the city he had captured last night.

The groundbreaking operation, along with the filling of the moat, succeeded in confusing Zilharan and Dord.

Subsequently, bypassing the heavily defended northern city, blasted the southern city instead.

A twenty-meter-wide opening was blown open in the southwest of Nancheng, and the 1st Mountain Division immediately attacked.

After a night of fierce fighting, he successfully took control of the southern city.

Arriving at the government office in Nancheng, Yang Chengying sat on a somewhat damaged chair in the main hall, asked the clerk to take out a letter of persuasion, and handed it to Liu Tianlu.

"Send someone to copy it at once, the more the better."

Yang Chengying instructed: "Then send these letters of persuasion into the city with bows and arrows." ”

"Yes." Liu Tianlu got the letter of persuasion and went to deal with it personally.

"Zilharang sent someone to secretly deliver the letter to us, which was written by his concubine Fujin himself."

Ning Wan said: "On the surface, they are all common words, but in fact, they reveal the thoughts of both ends of the first mouse of Jilharang everywhere. ”

Historically, Zilharang was a man who knew the wind and steered the rudder.

Yang Chengying smiled: "The key to the problem lies in Duoduo. If he was willing to surrender, things would be much easier. ”

"He's Nurhachi's son-in-law, and I'm afraid he won't be willing to surrender." Ning Wan shook his head and said.

"Then let him and Zilharang have a clear break, and then let's talk."

Yang Chengying stretched, "I estimate that Huang Taiji can't sit still anymore and is ready to go south for a decisive battle with our army." With that, he left the main hall.

He had to get a good night's sleep and get ready for the historic moment.

A long-cherished wish of more than ten years is finally coming true.

On the contrary, Zilharan could not sleep.

He soon received a letter of persuasion, which was written in Chinese and Jurchen.

But before he could think clearly, he saw Duoduo come in a rage.

Zilharang wanted to put away the letter of persuasion, but it was too late, so he had to simply spread it out.

When Duoduo saw it, he said angrily: "Is there something wrong with this Yang Chengying, I am the son of the first Great Khan, how could I surrender to him." ”

"yes. My father's generation worked hard to start a business to get to where we are today. ”

Zilharang followed his words and said, "If you surrender, how can you be worthy of the hard work of your fathers?" ”

"Zilharang, we are now trapped on all sides, and the northern city is in danger."

Dodor said, "At this point, should the Great Khan's orders be obeyed?" ”

"What do you mean...... Breakthrough! Zilharang said.

"That's right. While the enemy was not yet completely surrounded, we went out and joined the Great Khan. ”

Duoduo said whimsically.

When Zilharang heard this, he felt a little bitter in his heart, why did the Great Khan send such a stunned young man to be my helper.

However, there are benefits to stunned blue.

A twinkle twinkled in Zilharang's eyes, "That's a good idea. The enemy must be tired from attacking the city overnight, and there is still a chance of winning the breakthrough at this time, but ......"

"But what?" Duoduo asked hurriedly.

"The breakout must be well planned, not messed around."

Zilharang said: "You and I have hurriedly counted the soldiers and grain and grass under the tent, and then we will specify a specific plan." ”

"Well, that makes sense, I'll arrange it."

Dodor turned to leave.

Zilharang's eyes instantly turned cold, and he called his henchmen. wrote a letter and asked his henchmen to take him out of the city and hand it over to Yang Chengying.

On the same day, Yang Chengying received the letter.

In the letter, Zilharang said that he could surrender, but hoped that Yang Chengying would agree to him as a foreign vassal of Jianzhou.

In order to show his sincerity, he also said the reason for such an urgent peace talks:

Duoduo wanted to burn the jade and fight a decisive battle with the Liaodong army outside the city.

By this time, Zilharang was still cheating.

Yang Chengying read it and wrote three conditions:

First, the existence of foreign vassals must not be allowed, but the children of the Eight Banners can return to the fields, and the policy of Huang Taiji Ji Ding granting fields remains unchanged.

It is also allowed to hire tenants to farm, but the relationship between the two parties is one of employment rather than master and servant.

Second, following the model of Abatai, after the adaptation of the blue flag, a garrison was given to defend the defense of the north.

Thirdly, the above-mentioned conditions can only be implemented after the blue and white flags are disarmed.

When Zilharang saw this condition, his heart was cold.

If this is the case, who is willing to choose to surrender under his bannermen.

However, Duoduo was already preparing for a breakthrough, and in the face of heavy encirclement, there was much luck and few auspiciousness.

When that time comes, what will he do!

Just as Zilharang hesitated, an exciting news came, the Great Khan had arrived.

On the third day of October in the lunar calendar, heavy snow fell.

Huang Taiji personally led a large army to the south and fell into a confrontation with Meng Qiaofang's reorganized Fifth Army and Wu Sangui's Guards.

Tens of thousands of horsemen and infantry lined up in neat and dense formations one after another, stretching to the end of the horizon.

The breath exhaled from people's mouths forms a layer of "white fog" in the sky above, and even obscures the sunlight.

Flags danced vigorously in the north wind, making a "popping" sound.

In the line of sight, there is a sea of people, a sea of flags, a sea of swords, and a sea of artillery.

Knowing that Huang Taiji had raised troops to overwhelm the country, Yang Chengying also led the army to come and brought an artillery division.

The Houjin generals besieged in the city, such as Zilharang and Duoduo, held on to the cold city walls, Kong Wu's body did not move, as stable as a rock, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes, in addition to nervousness.

Their northern city of Liaoyang was surrounded by three trenches, and the edge of the trenches was barbed wire, and there were hunting dogs.

It's hard to fly.

Duoduo dismissed the idea of breaking through, and together with the others, he could only wait quietly, waiting for the victory or defeat of this battle.

There is no retreat for either side.

Yang Chengying stood on the dirt hill and observed the enemy formation with a telescope.

"It is worthy of being the real 'Little Taizong' in history, and the soldiers brought out are different."

Yang Chengying sighed with emotion, and immediately ordered: "The enemy is ahead, and whether our army can win or not depends on this battle." ”

Finally, he said aloud: "The whole army obeys!" ”

The flag bearer sent out the flag.

The cavalry raised their sabers, and the infantry straightened their backs.

Preparations are made for a decisive battle.

"Attack!" Yang Cheng gave an order.

The army was immediately dispatched.

This time, they chose to take the initiative to attack.

The earth was shaking, and it was the horseshoes of the cavalry trampling the ground; The footsteps of the infantry were moving.

The small drums of the overseer beat and the infantry with flintlock pistols moved on the ground, forming a dense formation.

These formations moved forward one by one to the beat of the drums.

Almost at the same time, the Houjin army also chose to attack.

They could not wait for the enemy to come to their door, it was a humiliation to these warriors who had followed the Great Khan since the time of the Old Khan.

Therefore, the Houjin army decisively chose to take the initiative to attack!

In their opinion, as long as they do not enter the range of artillery fire of the Liaodong Army, there is no problem.
