p The third day of the third month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse

In the southern part of the Ming Dynasty, such as Mochou Lake in Nanjing, it has become bright in spring, and scholars in green shirts have begun to walk by the Mochou Lake in groups, with occasional wind blowing. Although they have goosebumps all over their bodies, many readers not only do not shiver, but pretend to open the folding fan and fan it lightly a few times to show their chic.

But the above scene is limited to the south of the Ming Dynasty, and for Liaodong, this is the time when the snow melts, and the weather is colder than before.

The city wall of Jinzhou is very large, its city wall is three zhang two feet high, the pheasant is six feet high, the site is three zhang wide, the upper two zhang is four, and it is more than ten miles long. There are 3 layers of masonry stone on the city foundation, the wall is the outer brick and the inner rubble, the battlement mouth is set outside, the female wall is set inside, the rammed earth is filled in the middle, the top of the wall is provided with the water mouth of the sea pier, and the four corners of the city wall are set up with forts, which is the first and most solid defense line of the gold and iron cavalry after Liaodong resists.

Today, dozens of the main generals and officials of Jinzhou stood on the north city wall under the escort of many soldiers, looking at the dense army outside the city, his face became very ugly, Sun Chengzong, who was the governor of Liaodong, looked at the pole that was three zhang high two miles away, and was stunned, this face was golden yellow, nine golden dragons were embroidered with gold thread on it, the teeth and claws were very fierce, and the surroundings of the big silk were also inlaid with various precious gems, shining dazzling under the sun.

"It turned out to be the thief chief Nurhachi who personally led the army, what happened?"

Sun Chengzong muttered to himself, a hint of incomprehension flashed in his eyes. From ancient times to the present, once the king personally leads the army to fight in the case of a war between two countries, the scale of the war must not be small, but it can also prove that the other party's plan must also be very large.

"Master Sun, what's wrong? Why did the Thief Chief personally lead the army? What the hell is going on? ”

Cao Dazhong asked in a panic on the side, looking at the almost boundless army outside the city, his face was already a little pale, he hated himself very much at this time, he could have returned to the capital two months ago to resume his life, why did he take it upon himself to stay here and wait for Yang Feng. Now it's okay, Yang Feng didn't wait but waited for the Jurchens.

"Lord Governor, Jiannu has sent someone!" A soldier called nearby.

Soon, a Jurchen knight in white armor rode his horse and ran towards the city wall, and he didn't stop until he was more than fifty steps away from the city wall, and shouted loudly in Chinese: "Listen to the people in the city, our Great Khan said, hand over Yang Feng immediately, otherwise the army of our Dajin Kingdom will definitely set foot on Jinzhou City, and after entering the city, you will be slaughtered!" ”

"They're here to find Yang Feng!"

The people at the head of the city were startled at first, and then the people whispered. Sun Chengzong was also stunned, but soon a sneer appeared on his face, and he whispered a few words to one of the guards beside him.

After hearing this, the guard walked to the battlement and shouted: "Listen to the Jiannu under the city, this governor knows that Yang Feng is the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, and Nurhachi probably wants to recruit him as a son-in-law, right?" It's a pity that Yang Feng people won't look down on those Fanbang barbarian girls like you, even if you marry your daughter, it's just the life of Yahuan, you go back and tell Nurhachi, let him die of this heart! ”

"Hahaha......" The soldiers of the Ming army at the head of the city burst into laughter when they heard this, and the laughter shook the air for a while.

"Damn, you lowly Nikan, you wait!"

The white-armored soldier hated it so much that he galloped back to his own camp and told Nurhachi what Sun Chengzong had said, but it made Nurhachi and all the Houjin generals and ministers angry. Thinking that he Nurhachi is also the Great Khan of Dajin, and now he is ridiculed as a barbarian of Fanbang, and his daughter is only worthy of being a maid, how can this shame be endured.

On the side, the tall and burly Mang Gurtai wearing blue armor with gold trim said loudly: "Father Khan, these Han dogs are too deceitful, please give an order to the Great Khan, we are willing to take this Jinzhou City for the vanguard!" ”

Seeing Mang Gurtai step forward, Du Du, the son of Zhu Ying, who was the owner of the white flag at the time, also stepped forward and said: "Great Khan, the slave is willing to take Jinzhou City with Sanbeile and capture that Sun Chengzong and present it to you." ”

Seeing Mang Gurtai and Du Du asking for battle, many people also stepped forward and shouted to take the lead, and the scene was quite lively for a while, but there were some people among the people who had been silent, just looking at everyone coldly. Most of these people are generals with red flags and blue flags, and they fled because these two banners were defeated in the battle against Jinzhou last year, not only did they lose their vitality but also lost face, and such a defeat was too embarrassing for the Jurchens who were proud of their military exploits and killings, and they were naturally not suitable for them to come out on such an occasion.

The red flag and blue flag led by Dai Shan and Amin are of course greatly injured, but there is one person who is more unlucky than them, and this person is Huang Taiji. Originally, he went to greet his relatives, but now not only did he not marry, but he also lost the two Fujin, if it weren't for Huang Taiji's original mental fortitude, I am afraid that he would have collapsed long ago.

A few months have passed, and Huang Taiji, who was originally quite obese, miraculously lost weight, and he who originally looked high-spirited now looks like he has a haze of haze, and the whole person has become a little gloomy.

Huang Taiji ignored the generals around him who were asking for battle, took out a monocular clairvoyant mirror from his arms and looked carefully at the Jinzhou city wall two miles away.

I don't know how long it took, Nurhachi waved his hand, and the originally chaotic occasion immediately fell silent. I saw Nurhachi look at Huang Taiji, and said in a deep voice: "Huang Taiji, tell me, how is this Jinzhou going to attack?" ”

Seeing that Nurhachi did not directly send troops to attack, but instead asked about Huang Taiji, many people were a little disdainful in their hearts.

These days, Huang Taiji is unusually low-key, staying in his Baylor Mansion all day long and rarely going out, many people think that Huang Taiji has been abolished, what qualifications does a guy who can even rob his own woman have to take on a heavy responsibility, and now seeing Nurhachi actually speak out to ask Huang Taiji's opinion, this also surprised many people.

Huang Taiji raised his head and looked at Nurhachi, who is sixty-six years old this year, and his beard is white, but his eyes are still so sharp, and his wrinkled face is full of sternness, but Huang Taiji can still see a trace of imperceptible concern in Nurhachi's eyes.

Huang Taiji's heart warmed, and he said respectfully: "Father Khan, the child thinks that the high walls of Jinzhou City are deep and it is not suitable to attack hard, but should surround it, first concentrate troops to take Dalinghe Fort, and then launch a general attack on Jinzhou!" ”

"What...... It's nonsense! ”

"Coward!"

As soon as Huang Taiji's words came out, many generals scoffed.
