Chapter 345: The Battle of Ningyuan
The situation of the apocalypse is getting worse and worse, except for talking at night when he sleeps, he even dozes off during the day. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The cabinet ministers repeatedly asked the Emperor of the Apocalypse about the successor, and the Apocalypse was also vague and did not want to answer.
One day after going to court, Ye Xianggao especially found Yan Long.
Ye Xianggao asked Yan Long: "Yan Shaobao, you often accompany the emperor, do you know which royal descendant the emperor wants to appoint as the prince?"
Yan Long said indifferently: "Elder Ye Ge, it is actually very clear who the emperor wants to appoint as the prince, he just can't wipe off his face." β
Ye Xianggao listened, his heart froze, and he asked Yan Long in a tentative tone: "Yan Shaobao, are you talking about believing in King Zhu Youzhen?"
"Apart from him, who else in the world is worthy of the emperor's affection?" Yan Long said.
Ye Xianggao sighed: "As the so-called world is unpredictable, after going around and around, I still returned to King Xin." β
Yan Long smiled indifferently and did not reply.
Ye Xianggao sighed and said: "The old man is in his prime, his heart is exhausted, and the position of the first assistant of this cabinet minister is also the time when it is time to let the virtuous, if the king succeeds to the throne, although the world is big, I am afraid that there is no place for the old man to stand." β
Yan Long said with a smile: "Now that the general trend is undecided, Ye Ge doesn't have to be so discouraged. β
Ye Xianggao said: "The reason why I am like this is not entirely because of the matter of believing in the king, the situation in Liaodong is extremely grim now, I guess you also know." β
Yan Long nodded solemnly and said, "Nurhachi Chen has more than 200,000 soldiers in the Guangning area, and he must have the intention of fighting to the death with the Ming Dynasty. β
"Inspector Sun has sent back several urgent reports outside the pass, asking the imperial court to send reinforcements north as soon as possible to relieve the pressure of the war situation in Liaodong. Ye Xianggao said.
"The war situation in Liaodong is related to the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty, and since Inspector Sun has already asked for help, the imperial court will transfer troops to the north. After Yan Long said this, seeing that Ye Xianggao didn't speak, he asked again: "Could it be that the imperial court has not sent troops?"
Ye Xianggao said: "Although the imperial court has been using troops in Shaanxi and Yunnan, it is not enough to mobilize soldiers and horses. It's just that the emperor doesn't seem to care about the increase of troops to Liaodong, and he keeps the votes of our cabinet under control, and does not approve or reply. We can't give the order to the military headquarters to move our troops north. β
Yan Long has been busy secretly forming his own pro-army in the capital during this time, so he rarely asks about the disputes in the court, and he didn't expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse to make such a fuss.
He thought to himself: "The reason why the apocalypse is so troublesome seems to be because of the sullenness of the cabinet, maybe he is waiting for the cabinet to hand over the recall letter to the king." However, Zhu Youzhen must not return to Beijing, otherwise, he will ascend to the throne nine times out of ten. β
As soon as he thought of this, Yan Long said vaguely to Ye Xianggao: "Regarding the matter of increasing troops to Liaodong, wait for me to enter the palace, and then make a statement to the emperor." Now the matter of Liaodong is in charge of Lord Bai Qibai of the Ministry of War, I believe that the problem is not big, and you don't have to worry too much, Ye Ge Lao. β
Ye Xianggao sighed: "I hope so." β
......
Shen Wuxin and Xiao Daoling arrived in the capital and saw Yan Long, just when Nurhachi outside the gate led a large army to besiege Ningyuan.
Ning Yuan is the last barrier outside the pass, if Ning Yuan is broken, Hou Jin's troops will be directed at Shanhaiguan.
Ning Yuan has been building the city for several years, waiting for this moment.
ββThe moment when the Houjin army was kept out of the country.
It's like a warrior who has been trained for several years so that when facing the enemy, he can accurately cut off the enemy's head with the sword in his hand.
The defender of Ningyuan City is named Yuan Chonghuan, and he has his own set of professional knowledge about the fortification of the city, and the design of Ningyuan's city walls is also perfectly combined with his professional knowledge.
The general city is in the shape of "mouth", square and square, and it can only rely on the height of the city wall and the courage of the soldiers defending the city to resist the enemy.
The city wall of Ningyuan is in the shape of a "mountain", and a city tower stretches out from the outside of the city wall, which is solid and extremely strong, and troops are stationed on it. When the enemy has just entered the two entrances of the character "mountain", hit them on the flank, and after the enemy has completely entered the entrance of the character "mountain", hit them in the ass. If the enemy hasn't come in yet, set up artillery at the head of the city and bombard the fuck with artillery fire in advance!!
The head of Ningyuan City is full of Hongyi artillery imported from Portugal, and when the cannon goes down, there is erosion within a radius of two zhang.
Before the siege of the city, Nurhachi had already led the army to clear all the obstacles outside Ningyuan City, and in his eyes, this lonely city was the same as other cities outside the Ming Dynasty. In front of the Houjin army, they were like papier-mΓ’chΓ© lanterns, which broke when they were poked.
With a look of contempt, he gave the order for the siege of the city.
The vanguard of the Later Jin Army, the soldiers, began to push the cart and moved closer to the city wall.
The so-called chariot is actually wrapped in several layers of thick cowhide in front of the thick planks of the wooden cart and splashed with water.
This kind of cowhide cart is quite leathery, and ordinary firearms and bows and arrows are helpless, so the Houjin army also smoothly advanced the cart to a relatively close distance from the city wall.
The Houjin army, with a ladder, hid behind the cowhide cart, waiting for the moment of siege. However, many black holes suddenly appeared at the head of the city, and the black iron holes spewed fire, and these fires fell into their crowd with burning hot iron and waves of gunpowder and gas blooming everywhere.
So, erosion, erosion!
It is recorded in the history books that "everywhere it blooms, and all it is erosive." β
Due to the special design of the Ningyuan city wall, the Houjin army suffered three-dimensional blows from the front, rear, left, right, and upper directions, which made their corpses strewn all over the field and blood flowed like a river.
After the death, the follow-up troops continue to fill in and continue to die......
After a few days of fighting, Nurhachi found that if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would lose all his money. So he stopped.
And at this time, someone came to report: "Du Xun, the apprentice of the national teacher Guldan, has returned." β
As soon as Nurhachi saw Du Xun, he asked directly, "Where is the national teacher?"
Du Xun said calmly: "I killed you!"
Nurhachi was very surprised that Du Xun confessed his crime so bluntly, and in order to prevent accidents, he waved his hand, ready to let the guards under his tent rush up and subdue Du Xun.
However, Du Xun only used one move to dispel this idea.
His whole body shone with an earthy yellow light, and the ground under his feet immediately gave birth to countless thorns as if summoned by the devil, one of which was like a sharp serrated knife, and pressed against Nurhachi's throat. The other sharp edges pierced the bodies of the dozen or so Jurchen warriors who rushed to his side and lifted them directly into the air.
Nurhachi's golden horde was destroyed, and the blood of those Jurchen warriors flowed down the sharp edges.
Nurhachi had seen the power of Guldan's mystical power, but he didn't expect Du Xun to be even more fierce than his master!
Du Xun smiled and said to Nurhae: "Great Khan, I'm here to help you!"
