In front of a mansion near the city gate in the north of the city, there were many corpses and wounded soldiers wearing Ming army armor, and at a corner of the mansion hundreds of meters, Sun Chengzong looked at the situation in front of him, brushing his beard and frowning.

Next to him, many generals of the Liaodong Army and the Jiangning Army gathered, but the faces of these generals were full of anger and unwillingness at this time.

Listening to the sound of wailing and moaning from the wounded soldiers in front, Zu Dale couldn't hold back any longer, walked up to Sun Chengzong and said loudly: "Governor, this battle can't be fought like this, we lost hundreds of sons and daughters just now, if we continue to fight like this, how many soldiers will have enough lives to fill in?" ”

Sun Chengzong was silent for a moment, pointed to the front and said, "General Zu, this governor doesn't want to do this, but look at it, who are the people standing on those mansions in front?" They are all defenseless old and weak women and children, how innocent are the people, if they are attacked by artillery, what will they do? ”

Sun Chengzong was referring to the mansion, where there were many women and children with their hands tied on the tall and wide walls, and behind these women and children stood many Qing soldiers armed with strong bows and crossbows.

The owner of this mansion is none other than the mansion of Erbeile Daishan, as the second son of Nurhachi, originally after the death of the eldest son Chu Ying, Daishan was the most qualified to ascend to that position, but for various reasons, this throne finally fell into the hands of Huang Taiji.

Although Dai Shan is very supportive of Huang Taiji on the surface, only he knows what he thinks in his heart.

After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, in order to make up for this debt to Daishan, he also turned a blind eye to the situation of Daishan's large-scale expansion of the mansion, which also caused Daishan's mansion to become bigger and bigger, and finally became a place covering an area of more than 50 acres.

After the fall of Shengjing, there were not many people in the Qing army who were willing to surrender, and they were very aware of the good things they had done to the Ming Dynasty, and they also knew what would happen to them once they fell into the hands of the Ming army.

An army that has a mortal mentality is terrible, because in this mentality they will do anything, even at the expense of pulling everyone to bury them.

At this time, Dolgon came up with another idea, that is, to drive the people in Shengjing City to various mansions to help the Qing army defend, and also use the old and weak women and children as meat shields, if the Ming army is soft-hearted and dare not attack, if the Ming army dares to open fire, these old and weak women and children can at least consume some of the Ming army's shells.

Dolgon's idea was crazy, but at the same time, it worked, and Sun Chengzong began to feel embarrassed in the face of the women, old people, and children shivering in the cold wind in front of him.

The Qing army put on a posture of not hesitating to burn jade and stones, and pushed the old people and children who had no combat effectiveness into the battlefield. If you adjust the artillery to attack, you will inevitably hurt the innocent, and even if you can win this station, it will inevitably cause a big uproar in the government and the opposition, and I am afraid that when the time comes, I am afraid that the twists and turns between myself and the Liaodong Army will float towards Zhu Youxiao like snowflakes.

Even if he is an emperor, the brand is hard enough, I am afraid that he will not be able to block the attacks of those imperial historians and officials, so he issued an order not to deploy artillery attacks, and it is precisely because of this order that the casualties of the Ming army in the combat effectiveness just now have skyrocketed.

Just looking at the casualties of his subordinates, Zu Dashou's generals really can't stand it, Nima's, the battle can't be fought like this, and if it goes on like this, Lao Tzu's soldiers will die, so there is Zu Dale's request just now.

Sun Chengzong was silent, and all the generals around him were looking at him with blank eyes, Yang Feng attacked the palace and was not here, which also meant that there was not even a person who was qualified to oppose him, even if everyone was reluctant, as long as Sun Chengzong did not speak, they could only fill it with their lives.

Just when everyone was anxious, there was a rush of footsteps from behind, and then someone said in surprise: "Jiang Ninghou is here." ”

Everyone turned their heads away, and everyone's eyes showed surprise, even the generals of the Liaodong Army who were a little unhappy with Yang Feng on weekdays, and even many people felt that Yang Feng looked so pleasing to the eye for the first time.

Soon, Yang Feng came to Sun Chengzong under the support of the family members, and he didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Lord Sun, I heard that you ordered to prohibit the bombardment of these mansions, is that so?" ”

Seeing Yang Feng's arrival, Sun Chengzong secretly said bad in his heart.

After dealing with Yang Feng for a long time, he also knows Yang Feng's temper relatively well, this guy is relatively gentle when it comes to domestic problems in the Ming Dynasty, as long as it doesn't provoke him, he generally won't do things to the end, but when it comes to places other than Daming, the other side of this guy's brutality will be completely exposed.

Sighing lightly, Sun Chengzong pointed to the corner on the side, "After Jiang Ning, how about we talk over there?" ”

Yang Feng glanced at Sun Chengzong and nodded: "Okay, I also want to hear Lord Sun's opinions." ”

The visitor came to a corner, and Yang Feng and Sun Chengzong's family members guarded the surroundings to ensure that their conversation would not be overheard.

Sun Chengzong glanced left and right before he said, "Jiang Ninghou, do you know how many people are in Shengjing City now?" ”

Yang Feng said without thinking: "I don't dare to say more, there are always four or five hundred thousand." ”

"That's right."

Sun Chengzong continued: "Do you know that today's Tartars have lost their minds, and they openly put those old and weak women and children in front of the battle array, and many of these people are Ming people who were captured by the Tartars, and the Tartars clearly want to take those people as hostages.

Think about it, if we kill all these people, how much shock it will cause when it reaches the court, those officials and imperial history are not like crazy to talk about us, and then we will be even if we have merit.

Jiang Ninghou, don't you forget the matter of Hou Junji's expedition to Gaochang in the pre-Tang Dynasty? ”

Hou Junji was a general under Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty during the former Tang Zhenguan period, and led the troops to destroy the Gaochang Kingdom in the Western Regions in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan.

It stands to reason that he will definitely be rewarded after returning to China after making such a great contribution, but after Hou Junji returned to the Tang Dynasty, he was accused of killing innocents indiscriminately during the Gaochang Kingdom, and the soldiers connived at his subordinates to plunder the property and privately take the national treasures of Gaochang Kingdom as their own.

The reason why Sun Chengzong said this incident was to remind Yang Feng that the lessons of the past should not be forgotten.

Although he and Yang Feng are the emperor and the other are the marquis, no one can say for sure what is going on in the court, once they are caught by the enemy, how can they kill innocents indiscriminately, this is a very big trouble, and if they don't do it, they will put themselves in it.

For the allusion of Hou Junji, Yang Feng certainly knows that although Hou Junji in history was a man who was stubborn and self-reliant, he was able to lead the Tang Dynasty soldiers to destroy a country, which proves that he is indeed a capable person.

Not only was he not rewarded for making such a great contribution, but he was arrested and imprisoned, which is enough to explain a lot of problems, which is indeed similar to Yang Feng's situation today.

Seeing that Yang Feng was silent, Sun Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his words had indeed moved him, but Sun Chengzong still underestimated our Yang Daguan.

Yang Feng was silent for a while and then slowly shook his head, and his expression slowly became firm.

"Lord Sun, I understand what you said, but please forgive me for not agreeing, I still have to use artillery to bombard those Tartars."

Sun Chengzong was anxious: "Jiang Ninghou, why don't you understand what the official said so much?" Did your sister see those old and weak women and children on the wall, although many of them are Tartars, but there are also many Han people, how can you bear to kill them together? Besides, there are good people in the Tartars, you can't kill everyone with a stick! ”

When Yang Feng heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "Lord Sun's words are wrong, you said that there are good people in the Tartars, but in this opinion, only the dead Tartars are good Tartars."

You also said that there are Han people here, aren't our soldiers Han people? And who gave you the right to let these young soldiers die in vain? ”

The more Yang Feng spoke, the louder his voice became, and even the generals of Liaodong and Jiangning Army not far away heard it, and many people showed expressions of deep disbelief on their faces, and some of the generals and soldiers of the Liaodong Army even showed a moved look.

Yang Feng's words simply spoke to their hearts, although it was said that being a soldier was a matter of licking blood with a knife, but if he could live, who would want to die, not to mention that he obviously had artillery, but he didn't dare to use it for fear of accidentally injuring the people of the Tartars, which was simply too embarrassing.

After finishing speaking, Yang Feng ignored Sun Chengzong, whose face was blue and red for a while, and strode towards the generals, only to see him walk a few steps and then said loudly: "Someone, pass on the order of Ben Hou, and transfer all the artillery into the city."

Didn't the Tartars want to be shrunken turtles, and if they were to knock out all their turtle shells, I would like to see what else Daishan and Dorgon could do? ”

"Whoa!"

The herald answered loudly and picked up the walkie-talkie to convey Yang Feng's order, and the faces of the surrounding generals also showed joy, with the support of artillery, those strong walls were no longer insurmountable barriers, and they didn't have to take the lives of the soldiers to fill in them.

At this moment, behind the wall of the mansion, Dai Shan looked at the wounded soldiers and corpses of the Ming army lying on the ground in front of him and said to Yue Tuo beside him very proudly: "See, the Han people always boast of being a state of benevolence and righteousness, and like to talk about benevolence and morality, but they are also the easiest to be bound by benevolence and morality. ”

Yue Tuo shook his head: "Ama, this is just a small plan, when the Ming army comes to their senses, they will definitely use artillery." ”

"This is nature!"

Dai Shan snorted coldly: "Of course I don't expect to rely on those old and weak women and children to block the Ming army for a lifetime, as long as we can block them until dark, our goal is achieved, we will have a chance to rush out, as long as we can break out of Shengjing, with the size of Liaodong, we can't go anywhere!" ”（）
