359 Chongzhen

"Go, go, go..."

The sound of horse hooves was as rapid as thunder. The knight immediately leaned on his back and desperately urged the horse under his crotch to accelerate, accelerating and then accelerating. The speed was so fast that even the little tails behind the knights were almost floating up.

Five or six cavalrymen and horses were provoking horses. Before they could reach Tashan City, they shouted loudly: "Hurry open the city gate, urgent military information!"

"The Ming army is invading a large-scale attack, Your Highness, Prince Rui!"

“…”

On the top of the city, the Jianlu defenders who were originally doing nothing had been alarmed by the sound of horse hooves. They leaned out and fled back in panic when they saw their horses so scared and heard their shouts. They were all shocked.

"What? The Ming army is invading a large-scale attack? I heard it right?"

"Yes, how could the Ming army attack on a large scale? I thought I heard it wrong!"

“…”

Although they had doubts, their hands kept moving. While someone urgently reported to Shangguan, they rang the police gong.

"Dangdangdangdang..."

When they heard the sound of the gongs, there was no exception. Jianlu was stunned because they never thought that one day, the gongs would sound in the Qing Dynasty?

When they came to their senses, their first reaction was not fear, but curiosity.

What exactly is the reason that the police gong sounded on the top of the city? The Ming army is attacking? How many Ming army are there? They are brave enough to take the initiative to attack the Qing Dynasty city?

All these thoughts emerged in Jianlu’s hearts. However, before they could think about it for a long time, they began to feel something was wrong.

It seemed faintly that there was thunder rolling in the sky. In just a while, I felt that the earth was shaking.

In this case, Jianlu in Tashan City is naturally very familiar with it, that is, there are countless cavalry running, which makes it so powerful!

After thinking about this, the face of Jianlu in the city changed.

In the original Tashan General Mansion, and in the Qing Dynasty's Prince's Mansion, Dorgon had just seen the figure of the messenger coming to report, and he had already heard the sound of horse hooves. Suddenly, he knew that the matter was serious without listening to his subordinates' reports.

Those who come are not kind will not come! Dorgon immediately had this idea in his heart. So, without saying a word, he immediately hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed to the city to see the movement.

There was inevitably a little chaos in Tashan City. The leaders of the Jianlu army were busy gathering their subordinates, and hurried to the prince's mansion, hoping to get the latest order. When they learned that Dorgon had gone to the city, they hurried to the city.

On the street, Jianlu, who were rushing around, blocking each other's road from time to time, shouting loudly.

Dorgon had no time to care about these things. After going up to the arrow tower on the city, he didn't have to worry about observing them. He saw the Ming cavalry coming like waves, roaring around Tashan.

With Dorgon's eyes, it was obvious that these Ming cavalry were all elite and well-equipped, which was different from the Guanning cavalry they had seen before. Soon, he discovered that among this cavalry, there was the annoying He Renlong army. The other cavalry were mostly the same as the He Renlong army.

Seeing this, Dorgon felt a stern. Because he knew that He Renlong was the cavalry camp of the three major camps under the Imperial Horse Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty. Since the other cavalry were the same as He Renlong's troops, it means that the other cavalry camps should also be one of the three major camps of the Ming Dynasty's capital.

In other words, the Ming Dynasty cavalry camp was full of movement, and this was the emperor's imperial guards. Could it be... Could it be that the Ming Dynasty emperor personally led the army?

Dorgon was surprised by this conclusion again! If the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty personally led the army, it would not be normal. However, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally led the army, which was so shocking!

At this moment, he suddenly had the thought that had appeared in his mind: Those who come are not kind will not come!

"Master, the Ming army is invading a large-scale attack, what should we do?" The leader of Jianlu came over and asked for instructions in panic.

Some Jianlu leaders asked for battle angrily and said, "Master, the Ming army has taken the courage of the bear heart and leopard. The slave is willing to lead the army to fight and give the Ming army a warning!"

“…”

Faced with the various voices under his command, Dorgon ignored it, but continued to observe the movement outside the city. His brows frowned in a ball. Because he found that at the place where the Ming army came, the dust brought by the cavalry had not dissipated, and even more dust flew. This shows that the Ming army was still rushing to Tashan.

How many troops did the Ming army come? Dorgon was puzzled. He did not know the facts of the Ming army outside, and he did not dare to send troops outside the city.

As far as he has observed now, the cavalry alone has about 10,000. The army in the city has only more than 10,000 troops. At this moment, Dorgon was in an extremely heavy mood.

Just like that, Dorgon was not only instructing the gathering of troops and strengthening the city defense, but also observing the movements of the Ming army outside the city.

Slowly, he finally saw the Ming army besides the cavalry again.

In the dust flying, the horse pulled something out, one, two, three... countless people scattered to both sides after appearing in the sight of Jianlu on the city.

Cheying Camp! When Dorgon saw this scene, he immediately came to a conclusion. He was already in a heavy mood and his face became increasingly ugly.

The Ming Dynasty's Cheying camp has always been a headache for the Qing Dynasty. In the wild encounters, the Qing army was easy to deal with the Ming army, except for this Cheying camp. Because the Cheying camp means that the Ming army has many firearms that can be connected into formations in the wild and become a support for the Ming army's defense, just like the shell of a turtle, making it difficult for the Qing Dynasty to bite.

Now looking at the formation outside the city, under the cover of cavalry, the Ming army connected the chariots outside the city. Judging from their appearance, they wanted to surround Tashan City! Are they trying to gather and annihilate them?

Thinking of this, Dorgon suddenly had an idea, should he take advantage of the Ming army not really completing the encirclement and rush out with the cavalry?

However, as soon as this thought came out, he immediately rejected it himself.

The Qing Dynasty's war against the Ming Dynasty has never been so cowardly. Only the Ming army will do this by leading the cavalry to break through and escape without siege. However, there has never been such a thing on the Qing Dynasty!

Although the Qing Dynasty was not good at defending the city, no matter what, defending the city was easier than fighting in the field. When the Qing Dynasty faced the Ming army, it was not even afraid of fighting in the field. Are they still afraid of being besieged by the Ming army?

After hesitating for a while, Dorgon suddenly found that the Ming infantry had appeared. Teams of Ming troops were deploying defense on the spot at the side of the Cheying Camp.

Just behind the infantry, there were civilians who also started digging trenches and the like at the first time. From the first time, they put on a stance to surround Tashan to death!

The Ming army actually wanted to surround the Qing army in the city? After this idea came up in Jianlu's mind on the top of the city, they all felt it was very absurd. Is this a dream? When did the Ming army change positions with the Qing army and become the main attack of the Ming army?

To be honest, many Jianlu could not accept this for the time being.

Some Jianlu were laughing at the top of the city while watching the Ming army and civilians outside the city busy.

"Ming Jun really took the courage of the bear heart and leopard, and he thought the Qing army would hide in the city?"

"That's right, what my Qing army is most afraid of is field battles. The Ming army itself was outside the city, and it just happened to give me such a chance to field battles in the Qing army. Are they stupid, right?"

“…”

Some Jianlu were extremely angry, as if they were humiliated by the Ming army, shouting loudly that they wanted to leave the city to teach the Ming army a lesson.

Such ideas, including Dorgon's side in the Arrow Tower, many Jianlu leaders also had them.

Dorgon felt that it was necessary, at least he had to send his army out to test the strength of the Ming army. Therefore, when he was about to give orders, suddenly, the personal guard beside him screamed: "Master, look, look over there..."

The voice was filled with a strong sense of surprise, which made Dorgon a little curious, so he turned his head to look. After seeing this, he was stunned.

Because he saw that there was a ceremonial guard of the Ming emperor in the Ming army outside the city!

Could it be...will the Emperor of Ming really dare to come to Liaodong? Dorgon showed an incredible look, and he couldn't believe what he saw.

Perhaps knowing that he didn't believe it, he saw a knight in a flying fish suit sprinting to the place outside the city with an arrow, holding the handle of Xiuchun's knife in his hand, pointing his other hand to the head of the city, shouting loudly: "The Emperor of Ming Dynasty is here, the rebel Dorgon comes forward to speak!"

The shout was very loud, causing the noise of Jianlu on the top of the city to disappear.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was actually outside the city. Such a reality was indeed very shocking for these Jianlu. It was reasonable to shut up involuntarily.

In the arrow tower, Dorgon confirmed that the Emperor of Ming was really outside the city. He was also very shocked. At the same time, he was a little curious. What did the Emperor of Ming call him?

So he went down the arrow tower and came to the battlement. He shouted loudly: "It's Prince He Shuorui of the Qing Dynasty. If the Emperor of Ming Dynasty doesn't stay in the capital, he dares to come to Liaodong to die. Are you tired of living?"

Outside the city, Wu Zhong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and the Qing Dynasty prince consort, was next to Emperor Chongzhen. He recognized Dorgon, so he pointed at the person talking on the head of the city and reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, that person is the traitor Aisin Jueluo Dorgon!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he looked at the figure on the top of the city and couldn't help but laugh. Unexpectedly, Dorgon really showed up. He was so embarrassed to be so obedient, so he had to give you something!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, and a Class C eavesdropping seed was "rewarded" to Dorgon on the far city. Then, he smiled and said, "Tell Dorgon that he would surrender unconditionally immediately. I can spare his life, otherwise, this Tashan would be the place where he died!"

His words were naturally heard by the Jinyiwei in front of him and shouted loudly to Dorgon.

In fact, both sides know that the shouting in the city is basically useless

Therefore, whether it was Dorgon's voice to the outside of the city or Emperor Chongzhen's request to Dorgon, both sides actually listened to it and did not take it to heart.

After confirming the position of the Emperor of Ming, Dorgon was also decisive and immediately began to dispatch troops and generals. He wanted to take advantage of the Ming army's siege to send troops to rush for a while. Capturing the thief first, he would first win the king. If he could kill the Emperor of Ming, he would make a wonderful contribution.

But he didn't know that when he gave the order, Emperor Chongzhen knew his arrangement clearly through the eavesdropping system.

So Emperor Chongzhen immediately said to the generals around him: "After a while, Dorgon will send three thousand soldiers, one thousand Jianlu elite troops to attack my position. You and others will set up a pocket formation and wait for Jianlu to fight."

Although the generals of the Ming army felt that the emperor would definitely be the focus of Jianlu's attack, they dare not be as sure as Emperor Chongzhen said. At this time, they were surprised to hear that Emperor Chongzhen could even explain Jianlu's military strength and dependents clearly.

Looking at their expressions, Emperor Chongzhen knew what they were thinking, so he said lightly: "There are too many troops outside the city and cannot be deployed. Three thousand soldiers are enough. With a thousand elite Jianlu attacks as arrows, even if they can't do anything to me, they will inevitably interrupt our siege. Once the response is inappropriate, Jianlu will continue to send troops to attack our army in the future. This is the plan of the slave chief Dorgon, and it is not difficult to imagine. Just follow this and deploy it!"

Hearing this, Huang Degong, Cao Bianjiao and other generals actually felt a little unbelievable. The more detailed the matter, the more likely it is to make mistakes. But the emperor was very clear, this was a bit over? Even if Zhuge Liang was alive, it would not be possible to say this!

However, although they thought so in their hearts, since the emperor's will has been delivered, they can only do it according to the emperor's requirements. Even if they are busy for a while in the end, it will be better than doing nothing.

At this time, they naturally didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen actually repeated the words of Dorgon against his subordinates in the original form, rather than deducing that Dorgon would do so.

On the Ming army, the artillery on the che camp immediately began to secretly prepare in the position where Emperor Chongzhen was located. Behind the che camp, there were archers and flintlock spearmen, who also began to assemble and prepared to face the battle.

If the three thousand soldiers of Jianlu were fighting as Emperor Chongzhen said, no matter whether the elites of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were arrows, they would not be able to approach the emperor's imperial guards. I am afraid that the emperor guessed wrongly, Jianlu had no intention of doing this at all.

While they were guessing, they suddenly saw the Tashan city gate open and teams of Jianlu troops rushed out.

The moment when the Jianlu army left the city, whether it was Huang Degong, Cao Bianjiao and others, they all turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen at the first time. Their faces were all surprised. Because they really didn't expect that Emperor Chongzhen would be so accurate!
