The artillery battle at the south gate was in full swing, but the other three city gates did not move at all, and they were so idle that they could almost doze off.

On the tower of the city gate of the west gate, hundreds of Bayala soldiers wearing white heavy armor guarded the city gate tower tightly, and no one could enter or leave.

In the second-floor pavilion of the gatehouse, Dorgon, Dordor, and Azig were sitting on stools.

Dolgon, who looked at his two brothers with a serious face, said: "Twelfth brother, old fifteenth, the current situation is very clear, the Ming army is strong, and the fall of the South City Gate is a matter of time, but our brothers must prepare early." ”

Azig snorted coldly: "Although I said that, looking at the current posture, can we go?" You must know that the person who sent the two flags of Zhenghuang and Yellow patrolled the streets and alleys of Shengjing.

Even we have a place full of his outposts, I'm afraid he'll know before we leave. ”

"Humph!"

Duoduo let out a cold snort, and slapped his big hand on the table, shaking the teacups on the table for a while.

"If it hadn't been for the Twelfth Brother who stopped me the day before yesterday, I would have led my troops out and cut off Dai Shan's head. Vain Eniang used to take care of him so much, but I didn't expect him to take revenge. ”

"Old Fifteen, shut up!"

Dorgon glared at Dorgon.

"He's also our second brother anyway, what's the matter with you calling him by his name like that? If Father Khan is still here, just hearing you call him that will have to imprison you for at least a year. ”

Seeing Dorgon scolding himself, Dorgon smiled a little wryly, and didn't dare to say anything.

Dolgon didn't say anything after scolding Duoduo, and after a deep groan, he raised his head and said: "Brother Twelve, old fifteen, now the palace does not hesitate to send Zhenghuang and Huang inlaid banners to blockade Shengjing, in order to control the family members in the city to threaten us to fight with the Ming army, but now the Ming army is strong, and we have more than 100,000 troops on the face of Daqing, but in the end, it is not yet known who will die!" ”

Azig and Dordor were silent, they weren't stupid, and of course they knew that this was not the same time as it used to be.

With the rise of the Jiangning Army, the invincible momentum of the Qing Dynasty in the past has long been gone, and personal bravery is just a joke in front of the Jiangning Army's firecrackers and artillery.

Although the Manchurians are brave, they are not fools, and those who rush forward knowing that they are dead are not called bravery, but head iron.

Moreover, after several merciless blows by the Jiangning army, the Manchu Qing Dynasty realized that the Jiangning Army's firearms were invincible, at least until the Manchus had equivalent weapons.

Although no one has ever said such a thing in public, it is the consensus of most people.

Azig said with some concern: "That being said, our E-Niang and her family are still in the mansion now, and nominally we are guarding the West City Gate, but as long as E-Niang is still in his hands for a day, we can't do anything." ”

Hearing this, Dorgon had no choice. Although the three brothers are insidious, brutal, and good at fighting, they are truly respectful to Abahai, who raised him since he was a child, and they can't do such a thing as leaving their mother and running away by themselves.

Duoduo gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Damn it, it annoyed me. Tonight, I'll take someone to bring my mother and all the children here, and whoever dares to stop me will cut him down!" ”

"Old Fifteen, don't be confused!"

Azig was startled and hurriedly shouted.

"Now the streets are full of people with yellow and yellow flags, if you lead troops over, won't you have internal strife with them? Now that the enemy is present, we must not do this kind of cannibalism. ”

Duoduo also knew that he was a little impulsive, but he still muttered unconvinced: "You are worried about infighting, but our majesty is not afraid, he just calculated this, so he dared to do this to us, fourteenth brother, don't you say?" Fourteenth brother? ”

After Dodor finished speaking, he didn't get a response from Dorgon, so he looked at him curiously.

I saw Dolgon bowing his head and coming out in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while, he saw a sneer on his face: "Old Fifteen, tonight you bring someone to the mansion to take our Eniang and all the family members out, if anyone dares to stop it, there will be no mercy!" ”

"Good!"

Duoduo was overjoyed when he heard this: "It should have been like this a long time ago, I've been suffocated for the past two days, and I've him a long time ago according to my temper, and I still need to suffer that guy's bird anger!" ”

"Old Fourteen, you have to think about it." Azig was shocked, "If there is really going to be infighting, it will be the Ming army that will benefit at that time!" ”

Dolgon sneered, "Brother Twelve, do you really think that only we will do this? ”

"Old Fourteen, what do you mean?" Azig was stunned for a moment.

"I mean, do you think it's only the three of us brothers who want to run, I can bet that Shengjing City must be very lively tonight?" A grim smile on Dolgon's young face was not appropriate for his age.

At this time, if Azig and Dordor no longer understood the meaning of Dorgon's words, they would have lived in vain.

They also immediately realized that although Huang Taiji had imprisoned all the families of the princes and ministers in Shengjing City in order to coerce everyone to fight with the Ming army, he overestimated his prestige and forgot the most important point, that is, not everyone was willing to be buried with him as an emperor, especially when this emperor seemed to have few days to live.

Since everyone is unwilling to die, then the problem comes, these people must be reluctant to put their families on board, seeing that the city is about to be destroyed, there will definitely be many people who are willing to take risks, even if they are in conflict with Zhenghuang and Yellow Flags, they will have to send their families out of the city, so that their opportunity will come.

At the thought of this, Dodor's face turned red with excitement.

But as the old saying goes, happiness makes sorrow.

Just as the three brothers made up their minds, a loud rumbling sound sounded in the distance, followed by a loud exclamation.

When it reached the West City Gate, the sound had become very small, but after hearing this voice, the faces of the three Dolgon brothers turned blue in an instant.

"Oh no, the city is broken...... The southern wall has collapsed! ”

All the people who heard the news were heartbroken, their faces instantly turned pale, how they were used to fighting did not understand, lost the protection of the city wall, and faced the Ming army with heavy iron armor and sharp firearms, the Qing army could not stop it at all.

At this time, there were only two roads in front of them, either immediately transfer troops to the south city gate and fight with Abatai to fight with the Ming army, or quickly take advantage of the chaos to quickly lead people to their mansion to pick up their families and then run away.

As a Western philosopher said, to live or to die, this is a question.
