After resting for a while, Huang Taiji stood up again, shook off the Baya soldiers who were supporting him, and then gritted his teeth and stepped onto the war horse, still looking at everyone with a cold face, his knife-like gaze swept over everyone present, and the banner owners and the prince Baylor involuntarily lowered their heads.

However, before Dolgon lowered his head, he keenly noticed that Huang Taiji's face was even more ugly, and his face was slightly grayish-black, like a dead man.

"Order Shi Tingzhu to lead his troops to attack and support Wu Lai, and Changping Prefecture must be taken before nightfall, otherwise the two will be beheaded and shown to the public!"

"Huh!"

Soon, Shi Tingzhu led the Han army to press up with the white flag soldiers and horses, 15,000 Han traitor soldiers lined up, and 5,000 firecrackers stepped forward in a horizontal formation, under the cover of thousands of cavalry archers from Wu Lai's department, directly pressed to a distance of 60 steps outside the north city wall, and then began to fire volleys.

The casualties caused by the musketeers of these Han banners were obviously greater than those of the Mongol cavalry archers, after all, the damage caused by the muskets was significantly higher than that of the arrows, and the firecrackers and archers of the defenders on the city wall were quickly dispersed, and the artillery was also dumbfounded, and the battle situation suddenly became one-sided.

Wu Lai was overjoyed and roared angrily: "Rush up, give me the rope!" ”

Thousands of Mongolian soldiers repeated their old skills, climbed the city wall with ropes, and soon climbed the city again, a large number of Mongolian soldiers screamed to chase and kill the defenders who had been dispersed, the city was full of blood, and the imperial tomb guards and horses that could still hold on to it were difficult to continue at this time, and the participation of the Han army banner soldiers and horses under Shi Tingzhu became the last straw that crushed the defenders.

"Open the gates!"

In order to express himself in front of Huang Taiji, Wu Lai also escorted Deng with heavy armor

went to the head of the city, loudly commanded his subordinates to open the city gate, and soon the north gate of Changping Prefecture was opened, and Shi Tingzhu led the Han army to rush in with thousands of hand-to-hand soldiers under the white flag.

For a time, the sound of killing in the city of Changping Prefecture shook the sky, and the defenders in the city and the families of the imperial tomb guards suddenly fell into the Nine Hells and were slaughtered by the wolf-like Qing army.

At dusk, the noisy fighting calmed down, and Shi Tingzhu and Wu Lai, who were covered in blood, came to the Qing army to resume their lives.

Huang Taiji praised the two of them, Shi Tingzhu and Wu Lai's hearts suddenly burst into laughter, but their faces were still serious, and they kept kowtowing and said: "It is the duty of a slave to conquer the city for the Qing Dynasty!" ”

After the two retreated, Hauge asked respectfully, "Khan Amma, did the army enter the city to rest all night, and then go south in the early morning?" ”

Huang Taiji also hesitated about his body at this time, on weekdays, Huang Taiji was familiar with the history of the Han family, and was worried that he would repeat the footsteps of Chai Rong's Northern Expedition, so he groaned.

Hauge said: "Khan Amma, even if you are in a hurry, you should go into the city to rest for a while, and then leave again in the middle of the night?" ”

Huang Taiji nodded, and then Luan drove into Changping Prefecture, stationed in the Zhizhou Yamen, the banners and horses drove into the city one after another, the two yellow flags were stationed in Changping Prefecture, and the rest of the banners were stationed in Changping Prefecture in accordance with the arrangements of Manchuria, Mongolia, Outer Mongolia, and Han Army Banners, and were stationed inside and outside Changping Prefecture in turn.

After settling down, Hauge wanted to ask Huang Taiji to rest, but was stopped by Huang Taiji and said, "Gather everyone over, I want to continue the discussion." ”

"Khan Ama, Wanwang Ama is heavy on the dragon body!"

Haoge knelt down directly, and Huang Taiji's face softened a little

, said: "This battle is related to my Qing Dynasty national fortune, even if I fight for this life, I will win this battle!" It's also paving the way for you, you know? My throne is to be passed on to you after all, and I hope that after you sit in this position in the future, you will not only be the lord of Liaodong, but also the lord of Huaxia! ”

Hauge's heart stirred when he heard this, and his eyes involuntarily turned red.

It didn't take long for Manchu, Mongolian, Wai Domain, Han Banner Lord, Gushan Ezhen all arrived, everyone fell according to the division of each flag, Huang Taiji sat in the middle of the body strongly, his majestic gaze swept over everyone, and he was going to deploy the strategy of setting off south in the middle of the night to attack the city of Beijing.

At this moment, a Jiala Ezhen of the Bayala Battalion of the Yellow Banner strode in and reported: "Your Majesty, I just received an urgent report from the Ao Han Department!" ”

The Ao Han Department is a part of the outer Mongolian domain, because of its fierce department, so it was left in the rear of the army by Huang Taiji as the rear of the palace, according to this place more than 20 miles.

Huang Taiji and a group of banner masters, the prince of Baylor have changed color, and then ordered someone to bring in the scouts sent by the Ao Han Department, only to see that the armor on the scouts has been damaged, and there are still a few traces of blood on their bodies, after coming in, they hurriedly saluted, and hurriedly reported to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, Liu Yan's more than 10,000 cavalry are coming, and my prince is leading the army to fight fiercely with his department, but Liu Yan's cavalry is very strong, and our army can no longer resist, please Your Majesty quickly support!" ”

Huang Taiji's brows were tightly locked, and his face had become very ugly, so in this way, Liu Yan's main army should be behind, and there were no two or three days away from here, two days at most, or even only one day

What a distance!

So Huang Taiji first said to those scouts: "I know, go back and tell your prince that I am mobilizing reinforcements, let him fight to the death, and wait for reinforcements!" ”

"Huh!"

The scout rode away wildly, Huang Taiji's gaze swept over everyone again, and at this time, he didn't care about the strategy of deploying to attack Beijing City, and said directly: "Spread my will: All banner armies immediately go south to Beijing City!" With the white flag of the Han army, the soldiers and horses stayed in Changping Prefecture to block Liu Yan's army here, and they had to hold on for at least five days! ”

At this time, Shi Tingzhu's face turned pale when he heard this, which was equivalent to announcing his death, but he had to stand up and kneel down to thank him.

Huang Taiji said: "Shi Aiqing must fight bravely, as long as he holds here for five days, my army will be able to take Beijing City, and Liu Yan's troops will definitely retreat!" When the time comes, I will also reward Shi Aiqing as the king with a different surname! ”

Shi Tingzhu was overjoyed when he heard this, if he could complete this seemingly impossible task, he would be able to become the fourth king with a different surname after King Sanshun in the Qing Dynasty.

So Shi Tingzhu gritted his teeth and immediately thanked him for receiving the order.

But at this time, there was a sudden change, and Dolgon stood up and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, the minions think that our army should not continue south to the city of Beijing. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Huang Taiji's eyes also became sharp, and he stared at Dolgon and said, "What does Prince Rui mean by this!" ”

Dolgon said: "Our army came all the way from Jizhou City, and the warriors of the banners marched almost day and night, and when they arrived in Changping Prefecture, the warriors of the banners were not only at the end of the crossbow, but also lost their soldiers, and the Han army was inlaid with red flags, inlaid with white flags, and foreign domains

The Mongolian Tumut Right Banner, the Inner and Outer Karaqin Division, and the Chahar Division have all been annihilated by Liu Yan's Division, and our Qing Dynasty can no longer afford such a loss! ”

Haoge immediately stood up and said angrily: "What does Prince Rui mean that now all the banners and horses will withdraw from the Great Wall and flee back to Liaodong?" ”

Dolgon said: "This king doesn't mean this, this king means that Liu Yan will not give our army time to take Beijing City, and Shi Tingzhu has no ability to block it here for five days!" ”

At this time, Duoduo also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that what Prince Rui said is very true, even if our army breaks into the city of Beijing, it will be blocked by the strong city defense of Beijing City, and then it will be caught under the city by Liu Yan's troops, this will be another battle to defend Beijing, does Prince Su want His Majesty to become the second first?" ”

Hauge was furious, and shouted at Dorgon and Dord, and even ordered the two Yellow Banner Baya soldiers outside to take them down.

Azig also stood up for Haug, and the two quarreled with Dorgon and Dord.

Abatai, Daishan, Dudu, Zierharang, Ahshan, and Baiyintu were stunned when they saw this, the battle had reached such a critical juncture, and the pillars of the Qing Dynasty were actually fighting among themselves!

And Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Kong Youde, Shi Tingzhu and other Han army Qigu Shan Ezhen did not dare to come out, for fear of being angered by these Manchurian masters.

Seeing this, the anger in Huang Taiji's heart rose and roared: "Enough! ”

Seeing this, Dodor and Dorgon bowed and pleaded guilty, but there was not much respect in their eyes.

Haug and Azig also stopped, but still glared at Dorgon and Dord.

Huang Taiji stared at Dolgon and said coldly

said: "What Prince Rui did today, is he trying to resist the decree and disobey it?" ”

Dolgon was not afraid, and said, "Your Majesty, the slave must be really loyal, and he will say such a contrary advice!" The minions thought that the best strategy for our army at the moment was to rely on Changping Prefecture and fight a decisive battle with Liu Yan. ”

Duoduo stood up directly and said loudly, "The minion seconded it!" ”

Huang Taiji was furious when he heard this, and was about to attack, but he saw that the Mongolian Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Engetu, the Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Buyandai, the Zhengbai Flag Gushan Ezhen Yibai, the White Flag Gushan Ezhen Suna, the Zhenglan Flag Gushan Ezhen Wulai, and the Blue Flag Gushan Ezhen Hushibu all stood up.

The Outer Mongol Tumut Left Banner Gushan Ezhen Shanba, the Horqin Left and Right Wing Central Banner, Ao Han, and Alu Banners all stood up, and everyone stood behind Dolgon and Duoduo.

Among the Mongols, only the Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Adai and the Yellow Banner Gushan Ezhen Dalai Lama sat in place with a tangled face, obviously the two also knew about today's events in advance, but they both chose neutrality.

Seeing this, Hauge immediately roared angrily: "What are you minions going to do, rebel!" ”

Azig was even more direct, directly drawing his sword in front of Huang Taiji, glaring angrily at Dolgon and Duoduo, the two brothers of the same mother.

Huang Taiji was also very annoyed in his heart at this time, he should have thought that the Mongolian banners must have suffered huge losses because of the foreign vassal Mongolia, thinking that he was deliberately consuming the strength of the Mongols, coupled with the secret provocation of Dolgon and Duoduo, so they united to force the palace.

Huang Taiji said angrily: "Now that the big war is imminent, do you want to kill each other first?" ”

All

Among them, except for Dolgon and Duoduo, the rest of the Mongolian Gushan Ezhen all bowed their heads slightly, after all, Huang Taiji, as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, has accumulated prestige for a long time.

Seeing this, Dorgon and Dodor were about to have a showdown, but were interrupted by an urgent report.

"Report!"

A Manchurian Zhenghuang Qijia Lae Zhen rushed in directly, looked at the tense posture inside, was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Ao Han Department has been defeated, and the advance of the rout has arrived outside Changping Prefecture. According to the scout's report, Liu Yan's cavalry was a few miles to the north, and Liu Yan's main force was only two hours away from here! ”

At this time, everyone was dumbfounded, even Dolgon and Duoduo were stunned, wasn't the Ao Han Department still blocking Liu Yan's cavalry more than 20 miles away, how could Liu Yan's cavalry be killed a few miles away in a blink of an eye, could it be that the Ao Han Department was about to collapse at one touch?

At this time, Huang Taiji looked at Dolgon and Duoduo, and said in a cold voice: "Liu Yanbu is coming in an instant, and all flags are ready to fight immediately!" ”

Dolgon, Duoduo and a group of Mongol Gushan Ezhen, as well as the Han Army Banner, the Manchurian Banner Masters, and Gushan Ezhen, under the threat of Liu Yan's army, finally reached a temporary agreement and received orders at this time.
