On the first day of September in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Shengjing faces the south of the Great East Gate

A young general in yellow armor, who looked to be in his twenties, and had a rough face, stood on the city wall, looking at the faceless military camp more than ten miles outside the city, and a solemn look appeared on his face. In the distance, the flaming red flags and armor glowed with a strange luster in the light of the setting sun, and people couldn't help but feel a sense of shock.

Du Du, the banner master of the Zhenglan Banner wearing blue armor next to the young general, couldn't help but say: "Big brother, you better go down, although the Ming army has not yet attacked the city, but the minions have heard that the Ming people have a kind of fire gun that can hit hundreds of steps away, and the accuracy is excellent, if they notice that you are here, it will be bad." ”

"Yes, big brother, you better go down, it's not good if Ming Jun recognizes it, it's good to have minions here to watch." Several generals next to him also persuaded one after another.

This young general was none other than Haoge, the eldest son of Huang Taiji, who was ordered to stay in Shengjing.

Hauge looks a little old because of his rough appearance and beard, so although he is only eighteen years old this year, he looks like he is in his twenties.

Seeing that the generals around him persuaded him one after another, Haoge scolded with some annoyance: "Look at you, are you still like the warriors of my Great Qing Kingdom, the Ming people haven't attacked the city yet, you will persuade me to go down, and when the Ming army really attacks the city, what should I do, hide under the bed?" I tell you, if anyone dares to persuade me to go down again, I will not be kind to him! ”

Seeing that Hauge was angry, the generals did not dare to persuade again. Hauge took out a clairvoyant mirror from his waist and looked at it carefully, and when he saw the familiar armor and banners from outside the clairvoyant, a look of hatred, fear, and helplessness flashed in his eyes.

After a long time, Haoge sighed lightly and said, "Du Du, do you say that my father can come in time?" ”

Du Du shook his head: "The minister doesn't know, but the minister thinks that with the thousands of soldiers and horses in our Shengjing and the high walls and deep trenches in Shengjing City, it is impossible for the Jiangning army outside the city to attack in a short time." After finishing speaking, Du Du added: "At least there is no problem in holding on for half a month!" ”

Haoge shook his head and said: "Our Shengjing is indeed a high and deep moat, but our manpower is too small, my father went to Jinzhou to transfer almost all the soldiers and horses, at this moment there are only six thousand soldiers and horses in Shengjing City, if the Jiangning army is desperate to attack, our situation is indeed worrying." ”

Huang Taiji's expedition to Jinzhou, nominally is to send 80,000 troops, but these 80,000 are only the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners, in fact, including auxiliary soldiers, coatings, the Huang Taiji dispatched at least 150,000 people, and it is precisely because of this expedition that Huang Taiji almost transferred all the soldiers and horses that can fight in Shengjing, and only the 6,000 soldiers and horses of the Blue Banner led by Du Du were left behind in the huge Shengjing City, so that the troops were a little stretched, which was also the reason why Haoge sighed.

It stands to reason that Haoge, as the son of Huang Taiji, is also a well-known brave general on weekdays, so he should not say such words to show weakness, but as the saying goes, the shadow of a famous tree of a good person, the battle of Jiangningjun under Jinzhou City last year was too ruthless.

In that battle, the Manchus not only killed more than 20,000 people, but even the Great Khan Nurhachi was seriously injured by the 10,000-strong enemy, and finally died with regret, which also caused the current Manchus to feel a little furious when they heard the name of Jiangningjun.

While he was talking, a Jia Lazhangjing next to him suddenly pointed ahead and shouted: "Big brother, there is movement in the Ming army camp." ”

"Woo...... Woowoo woo ......"

With the words of this Jia Lazhangjing, a horn sounded in the distance, and with the sound of the horn, the originally silent Jiangning army camp boiled like water suddenly boiling in a pot, and a group of cavalry began to gallop out of the camp, and after leaving the camp, these cavalry began to divide into two groups towards the south gate of Shengjing, and behind them were groups of soldiers in iron armor.

"The Jiangning army is about to attack the city!"

I don't know who shouted, the atmosphere on the city wall became tense, many officers on the city wall began to shout that the soldiers in the hiding caves under the city wall came out to the city wall to prepare for battle, the archers also entered behind the battlements, and some young men also began to carry bundles of arrows up the city wall.

Du Du said to Haoge again: "Big brother, the Jiangning army is about to attack the city." As the eldest brother, you are in danger of all kinds of safety, and now that Your Majesty is not here, Shengjing City can't be at the helm without you, so for the sake of the more than 200,000 Eight Banner disciples in Shengjing City, you should go down to the city wall, and there are ministers here. ”

"Yes, big brother, you better go down the city wall, just leave it to the minions here!"

"Big brother, don't worry, as long as the minions don't die, they will never let those Ming people step on the city wall half a step!"

The generals of the Qing army next to him also persuaded one after another, after all, Haoge is the most beloved son of Huang Taiji, not to mention that he has three strengths and two shortcomings, that is, he was touched by the artillery or lead bullets of the Jiangning army, which is a great event, and all of them can't eat and walk around, so they should hurry up and send this uncle away, so that they can fight with peace of mind.

Hauge didn't understand what these people meant, but he also had his own considerations. The Manchu Qing Dynasty claimed to be a country based on martial arts, as the eldest son of Huang Taiji and the actual control of Shengjing when Huang Taiji was not there, if he left his soldiers and went down the city wall at this time, he would be safe and sound, but his reputation would be completely ruined, which was intolerable to the proud Haoge.

I saw Hauge glaring, and said in a resolute tone: "You don't need to say it, we have never had a warrior who retreated without a fight, nor did we retreat when we saw the enemy, even if I died at the head of the city today, I would not go down the city wall, and if anyone dares to persuade me to go down the city wall today, it will be my Hauge's enemy!" ”

Seeing Hauge's resolute tone, everyone knew that Hauge had made up his mind, and whoever persuaded him to go down the city wall would not be able to get along with Hauge.

Du Du sighed lightly, and made a color to a few Goshha on the side, these Goshha stood silently around Hauge, their role is to act as Hauge's meat shield, once an arrow buckshot at Hauge, they will be the first to block Hauge's approach, with only one purpose, never let Hauge's wounded touch.

With the sound of golden drums in unison, the officers and men of the Jiangning Army lined up and formed a typical battle formation. Fifteen thousand foot soldiers formed a rectangular phalanx, with five thousand cavalry on both sides, and in front of the five thousand foot soldiers were more than a hundred artillery pieces neatly arranged, and the muzzles of the black hole flashed with a faint cold light.

Just when the Manchu officers were dazzled, a slightly obese officer raised the small red flag in his right hand, and saw him hissing and shouting with all his might: "All ready...... Put! ”
