Nikan hurriedly helped Dorgon back to his seat, then walked back, picked up the beating report, and unfolded it to look at it, his expression immediately pale.

At this time, Dolgon finally came to his senses, he shook his head in pain, and said to Babuhai: "Go quickly and gather the princes of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and come to discuss the matter." ”

As the Babu Sea rushed away, Dolgon said to Nikan: "If Jinzhou is lost, the connection between the inside and outside of the pass will be severed, and we will be trapped in the pass." ”

Nikan naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, "I didn't expect the Wei thief to sneak attack Jinzhou, which is tantamount to cutting off our back road!" ”

Dolgon stood up again, thinking that it was a mess, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly shouted outside, "Why hasn't anyone come yet?" ”

........

On the fourth watch, the nobles of the Eight Banners in the city were still asleep, and they were suddenly woken up by their families, and more than a dozen Manchurian nobles hurried to the regent's mansion to discuss matters.

The last time they were in such a hurry was when the Battle of Hedong was defeated and Dolgon entered the capital in a hurry.

At this time, many nobles guessed that something bad should have happened, so they all whispered in the side hall.

At this time, the crowd gathered around Babu Hai and asked, "Lord, the regent has urgently summoned you, what happened?" Could it be that Wei thieves began to attack Luoyang? ”

Babuhai is the least brilliant among Nurhachi's sons, his achievements are mediocre, and his ability is average, he has no door on his mouth, and when he saw everyone asking, he immediately said melancholy: "It is more dangerous than attacking Luoyang, Wei thieves sent troops to Liaoxi, and 100,000 people attacked Jinzhou, cutting off our retreat!" ”

In an instant, the hall was in an uproar, and the nobles of the Eight Banners panicked, and their mouths came out, "How is this good?" The words.

At this time, the guards outside the palace suddenly shouted, "The regent has arrived!" ”

The princes of the Eight Banners in the hall all forgot to salute, but instead rushed forward, surrounded Dolgon, and asked in a gossipy manner: "Regent, what should we do if the Wei thieves attack Liaoxi?" ”

"If Jinzhou is lost, we will be trapped and killed in the pass!"

······

Dolgon's head was big for a while, his face was gloomy and half-loud, and he suddenly burst out, "Enough! This king has summoned you to consult on what to do, not to hear your clamour. ”

Dolgon had been accumulating power for a long time, and when the Manchurian nobles heard this, they immediately quieted down and made way for Dolgon to walk to the throne and sit down.

At this time, the Ya Que in the hall was silent, and after half a sound, He Luo would look left and right, and when he saw that no one was silent, he stood up to break the silence, "Regent, Jinzhou will be saved!" ”

Dol rolled his face and let out a turbid breath, "This king summoned you to discuss who is willing to lead the troops to rescue Jinzhou?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall became quieter, and no one dared to speak out.

100,000 Wei troops, how to rescue? The Qing army in Guannai was less than 200,000, and there were only more than 15,000 people in the Eight Banners, how could they fight against the 100,000 Wei army, and the Qing Dynasty couldn't even get together the grain and grass to go out.

Dolgon's gaze swept over Heluohui, who lowered his head and retreated from his gaze, and then glanced at the others, and everyone lowered their hands and did not dare to look at each other.

Just now, they were shouting to rescue Jinzhou, but now they are all dumb.

For a while, the anger accumulated in Dolgon's heart surfaced on his face, and just as he was about to explode, Nikan stood up and said: "Regent, the Wei thief's raid on Jinzhou must be a surprise attack by light cavalry, and there must not be much grain and grass to carry, and 100,000 horses and horses consume a lot of grain and grass, and it will be difficult for the Wei thief to hold it for a long time." Therefore, I think that the key to rescuing Jinzhou is to contain the Wei army from attacking Jinzhou, and the second is to send elite cavalry to attack and disturb the Wei army's grain route. If the Wei army can't attack the city and the food and grass are insufficient, within a month, they will definitely retreat! ”

After seeing the emergency report, Nikan was thinking about countermeasures, and the Wei thief suddenly appeared under the city of Jinzhou, and he could only attack.

If Hong Chengchou can hold on, and the Wei army can't keep up, they still have a chance.

Dolgon looked at Nikan, and then at the people in the palace, and thought that it was better to consult with Nikan directly.

Now the strength of the Qing army, it is indeed more difficult to defeat the Wei army attacking Jinzhou, but if you don't fight hard with the Wei army, there is still a chance.

From Xuanda to Liaoxi hundreds of miles are plains, there is no city, the Qing army leaned on the Great Wall, raiding the Wei army's grain road, it is not a difficult thing, and Haoge will also respond, as long as the Wei army's food and grass are insufficient, there is still hope to tide over the crisis.

Dol sat up straight, and immediately ordered: "Nikan, this king gives you 10,000 banner troops, and you are responsible for attacking the Wei army's grain route." Remember to rely on the pass of the Great Wall and do not touch it. ”

"Wow!" Nikan saluted and received the command.

Dolgon's eyes swept over the people in the hall, his eyes still fell on Heluohui, and he said undoubtedly: "Heluohui, this king gives you 20,000 infantry troops, and you take them out of Shanhaiguan to contain the Wei army." ”

He Luohui looked bitter, but he still came out to salute, "Chirp, the slave takes the order!" ”

Dolgon finally looked at Babu Hai, "Babu Hai, you immediately organize manpower, collect grain from all over the country, and then transport it to Beijing!" ”

······

At the head of Jinzhou City, Hong Chengchou was paying attention to the movements of the Wei army outside the city. In the past few days, the Wei army had completed the preparations before the siege and sent him a letter of surrender.

At this time, he had already seen the problem of the Wei army, that is, the light cavalry advanced without large artillery and heavy equipment, and Jinzhou was transformed and could be called a strong city.

At this time, he looked at the military camp stretching outside the city, the crowded heads, and the Wei army rushing to make equipment, and his heart was horizontal, Wei compiled "The Legend of the Han Thief", and listed him as the first first-class, ranking still in front of Fan Wencheng, the world could no longer tolerate him, this battle either the Wei army retreated, or the city was broken.

Three miles away from the city, Li Dingguo and the generals were looking at Jinzhou City in a complicated mood, and the reason why they were in a complicated mood was because there were shadows of Xiangcheng everywhere in Jinzhou.

A few years ago, the Qing army was in its prime, and twice attacked Xiangcheng, and the Wei army relied on strong city defenses to repel the Qing army's attack.

If Gao Yihuan was here, he would definitely point to the city and exclaim, the lonely king was plagiarized by the flood thief......

"Remember, the enemy platform that sticks out of the city wall, the soldiers attack any side, and they will be attacked by at least two enemy troops, but there are few soldiers in the city, and our army is several times the enemy, and the siege is on eight sides, and he can't respond with a gun!" Li Dingguo casually pointed to the platform on the city and said, and the army behind him quickly recorded the words of the governor.

"Besides, there is no artillery in the city, but the thieves will inevitably rush to make the stone throwers, and the soldiers need to be careful when attacking. The catapult is inconvenient to move, but there is no catapult, focus on attacking! Li Dingguo said while watching, and then he turned his head and asked, "Have you written it down?" ”

"Please take a look at the Governor." The army hurriedly submitted the notes, Li Dingguo looked at it, recorded it in detail, and also provided sketches, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad!" Li Dingguo handed back the note, walked for a while, explained some things, looked at the sky, and then pulled his horse back to the camp.

Back in the tent, Li Dingguo found Wu Guozhu and asked, "Did Hong Chengchou reply to the letter?" ”

Wu Guozhu shook his head, "I haven't replied yet!" ”

Li Dingguo had a calm face, and after he was silent for a while, he spoke: "Then let's start attacking the city!" ”

……

The next day, under the city of Jinzhou, there were mounds of earth everywhere, and the bronze cannons of the Wei army behind them retreated violently, raising a cloud of white smoke, and the bricks and stones at the head of the city exploded.

Under the city wall, the shield carts were connected to the city, and groups of musketeers, taking advantage of the range advantage, suppressed the city, and in the sound of "bang bang bang", the smoke of gunpowder filled the entire front.

In the gap between the shield chariot and the city wall, the Wei army infantry carried shields and ladders to the city, and stormed towards the city wall, and the fields were full of Wei soldiers who flocked to the city.

In the city of Jinzhou, there were only 7,000 Qing troops, and the Wei army was several times outnumbered by the enemy, and the morale was strong, and they launched wave after wave of charges.

At the head of the city, the Qing army did not dare to rise under the suppression of the Wei army's firepower, and the Qing army was constantly hit by muskets and injured by rubble, and the city walls were full of wounded soldiers falling to the ground and wailing, as well as corpses that had been killed.

The Wei army's foot soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city with their shields, erected a ladder to climb the city, and the ants attached to the city climbed the city......
