Liaoyang City, temporary camp, lobby.

The gunfire and screams one after another outside were particularly harsh.

Jierhalang, whose face was ashen, looked at Zhenglanqi Mele Erzhen who was kneeling in front of him, and spoke coldly.

"The Denglai New Army invaded the South Gate, but you didn't know that the North Gate, East Gate and West Gate were also lost one after another. They were all occupied by the Denglai New Army. There were 50,000 sergeants in the barracks, a full 50,000 people. Could it be that

Can't you resist the attack of the Denglai New Army? As the commander of the military camp, you escaped and allowed the Denglai New Army to completely occupy the military camp. Tell me, how should I deal with you..."

Prince Jingjin Nikan, Rao Yubeile Yuedong and others all stood at the bottom with their heads lowered, not daring to raise their heads to speak.

Everything was so sudden. If Jierhalang hadn't been surprisingly calm, Liaoyang City would have been in chaos.

No one understands how Denglai's new army entered Liaoyang City unknowingly and why the south gate was suddenly lost. The only explanation is that there was a problem with the Han army stationed at the south gate.

But no one dared to think about it. The Han army stationed at the south gate was the Han army sent by Jierhalang himself. They raided Xiping Fort, inflicted heavy losses on Denglai's new army, and then returned to Liaoyang City.

, if the Han army stationed at the south gate suddenly betrayed, it means that there are serious doubts about the victory of the capture of Xiping Fort.

In fact, gunshots rang out in the city and when the news came that Denglai's new army had invaded Liaoyang City from the south gate, Jierhalang's mind went blank. He didn't understand how Denglai's new army could easily enter the city. Follow-up reports

The news came, making Jilharang take a breath. The south gate, east gate, west gate and north gate were all occupied by Denglai's new army. The Eight Banners Army was caught off guard and suffered an attack. The losses were quite heavy, especially in the south.

In the military camp at the gate, most of the officers were killed by sergeants of the Denglai New Army.

This shows that the Denglai New Army is determined to wipe out all the Eight Banners Army stationed in Liaoyang City.

The sergeants of Zhenglan Banner, Xianglan Banner, Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner are all stationed in Liaoyang City. Jierhalang originally wanted to rely on the strength of Liaoyang City to fight to the death with Denglai's new army. Now, Denglai's new army

The Laixin Army had already invaded Liaoyang City, and the situation suddenly deteriorated completely.

Jierhalang thought of the Han army, Shi Tingzhu, Ma Guozhu, Wu Shojin and others, and even thought of the Battle of Xipingbao. If the outcome of the Battle of Xipingbao was completely opposite, then Jierhalang would have fallen into the Denglai New Army.

In a huge trap.

But the scouts also went to the direction of Xiping Fort to conduct reconnaissance. The news from the informants outside Liaoyang City was that Xiping Fort was captured by the Han army, and Denglai's new army suffered heavy losses and had to temporarily retreat.

Jierhalang didn't dare to think about it anymore. The most critical thing for the current plan was how to fight fiercely with Denglai's new army in Liaoyang City.

Leng Yan looked at Mel Ezhen who was kneeling in front of him, and Ji Erhalang waved his hand.

"Pull me out. If you disobey military orders, no one can save you..."

When the guards stepped forward and were about to lift up Meile Erzhen, Prince Jingjin Nikan suddenly knelt down.

"Commander, wait a minute, now is the time to hire people. Although Denglai's new army has entered Liaoyang City, our Eight Banners Army can still resist them with the city. If we kill the general at this time, it will definitely affect the morale of the army...

"

Jilharang looked at Nikan coldly.

"Your Majesty, you are directly responsible for the defense inside and outside the city. Such a big problem has arisen. What do you want me to say? A few hours ago, you and Yue Dong went to the south gate to inspect.

Didn't you find anything?"

Nikan's face turned pale. At this time, he would never dare to hide anything.

"Commander, my nephew deserves to die. My nephew discovered that the Eight Banners Army sergeant stationed at the south gate was drinking and did not deal with it in time..."

Jierhalang did not get angry, but looked at Nikan and Yue Dong.

"Okay, we'll talk about these things later. It's 2 o'clock now, and there's still some time before dawn. I think the Denglai New Army won't dare to attack rashly at night. They will definitely defend the south gate and the east gate.

West Gate and North Gate, we still have time to make relevant arrangements. You all remember, the more critical the moment, the more calm you have to be. You are all commanders. If you all mess up, what will happen to the sergeants below?

Do it, Nikan, I’ll give you half an hour to gather all the sergeants and think of how to deal with Denglai’s new army, and I’ll leave Mele Erzhen to you..."

Nikan left the lobby with Mele Erzhen. They had too many things to do and did not dare to waste time.

Jierhalang looked at Yue Dong and suddenly showed his old attitude.

In fact, Jierhalang was very optimistic about Yuedong. Yuedong's suggestion was still feasible. If it could be implemented in the Qing Dynasty, it would greatly enhance the strength of the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, too many Manchu nobles bullied the Han people in the Qing Dynasty.

He only thought about his own interests and did not consider the future of the Qing Dynasty at all.

"Yue Dong, tell me, did the Han army win the battle at Xiping Fort..."

Yue Dong's body trembled, he looked up at Jierhalang, and quickly clasped his fists and spoke.

"Commander, this junior feels that the most important thing at the moment is how to defeat Denglai's new army that has entered Liaoyang City. There is no need to discuss or investigate other matters for the time being..."

Jilharang sighed heavily.

"Yue Dong, you are right. There is one thing you must complete. I will write a memorial to the court, describing in detail what happened in Liaoyang City. You must find a way to send this letter to Shenyang tonight.

It is related to the life and death of our Qing Dynasty. A few days ago, I have written a memorial to the court, focusing on the matter of Zhenbeiguan. Now it seems that no matter what the price, the imperial court must completely wipe out Denglai stationed at Zhenbeiguan.

New Army, if not, the Eight Banners Army may be tightly besieged in Liaoyang and Shenyang. When Denglai New Army launches a general offensive, we may not be able to deal with it..."

Yue Dong stared at Jierhalang with his eyes widened.

"Commander, no way. This junior thinks that the Denglai New Army just took advantage of a loophole and happened to enter Liaoyang City. Besides, there are nearly 200,000 troops stationed in the city. The Denglai New Army wants to encircle and suppress me in the city.

In the Eight Banners Army, it is not certain who will win or lose..."

Jilharang shook his head.

"Yuedong, there is no such thing as a coincidence in such a big battle. All of this must have been planned by Denglai's new army, so we have to prepare for the worst. What our Eight Banners Army is best at is charging and fighting in the wild. If we are trapped,

Fighting in the city cannot be used. The Denglai New Army has sharp firearms. When the time comes, we will use our flesh and blood to resist the Denglai New Army's firearms. Do you think we have a chance of winning? So, our most important task at the moment is,

Just fight out of Liaoyang City and fight with Denglai's new army outside the city..."

"The coach of the Denglai New Army is very smart. He fought hard to enter the city, just to kill the strength of our Eight Banners Army in the city. I think Nikan will understand this..."

"Yue Dong, I am very optimistic about you. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely recommend you to the court. You have a general understanding and understand the importance of treating the Han people well. Unfortunately, many people in the court do not understand. Look at Fan Wencheng, look at Ning

After all, they were loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately the final outcome is so confusing..."

"You and Nikan went to the South Gate together. The Eight Banners Army sergeants stationed there were actually drinking and eating meat. I knew what was going on without saying much. The Han Army, like my Man Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners sergeants, were all holding on to their defenses.

City, but do our sergeants really regard them as brothers? I don’t care how they are on ordinary days, but at such a critical moment, if they still treat the Han army as slaves, how can they let the Han army fight with all their heart..."

Yue Dong, who lowered his head, raised his head again.

"Commander, I understand, I will definitely send the memorial to the capital..."

Jilharang nodded.

"When you meet the regent Dorgon, you must tell him not to pay attention to the battle situation in Liaoyang, let alone send a large army to aid Liaoyang. If you do that, you will definitely fall into the trap of Denglai's new army. The most important thing at the moment is

Completely defeat the Denglai New Army stationed at Zhenbeiguan. If we can completely annihilate the Denglai New Army stationed at Zhenbeiguan, it is still uncertain who will win and who will lose in this battle, so we must do our best, even if we deploy troops stationed in Shenyang.

All the Eight Banners Army will do whatever it takes..."

"At the same time, we must give orders to the Mongolian tribes to rush to the aid of the Qing Dynasty. At such a critical moment, if the Qing Dynasty fails, the Mongolian tribe will be the next Qing Dynasty. They must understand this...

"

Having said this, Jilhalang stood up and walked to the front of the table.

The pen and ink had been prepared long ago. For such a crucial memorial, Jierhalang had to write it in Manchu, which affected the speed.

Yue Dong stood aside silently, with his head lowered, as if thinking about something.

In less than ten minutes, Jierhalang threw away the brush in his hand.

"Okay, you set off immediately. I will arrange for a hundred guards to rush out with you. You go straight to the east gate. I think the south gate and the north gate are the focus of Denglai's new army's defense. The east gate is located in a remote place and is not crowded.

There are not many households. After you climb the city wall, remember not to be too eager to fight, but to leave quickly. After leaving the city, five miles to the west, there is a residence with dozens of war horses..."

When he put the folded letter paper into the envelope and handed it to Yue Dong, Jierhalang's expression became particularly solemn.

"If you can't rush out, hand it to the guards. In short, this memorial must be sent to Shenyang before dawn. If it is too late, it will be too late. I will give an order to Nikan later to launch an attack on the Denglai New Army at night.

Attack, attract their attention, and ensure that you can rush out of the city..."

Yue Dong took the letter and saluted Jierhalang with clasped fists.

Before Yue Dong could speak, Jierhalang waved his hand.
Chapter completed!
