Although Li Sili wanted to show himself in front of the new master, he didn't have any intention of going up to supervise the siege of the city in person, after all, only the living can be trusted and reused by the master, and the dead will have nothing.

It was Li Sili who threatened and lured the Han army at the assembly place before the first group of Han troops set off, and then consciously stopped in place, and let a team of personal soldiers around him step forward to escort these Han troops to the city.

Sure enough, he was right, and some people began to flee before they crossed the trench, if it weren't for the bullets of his own soldiers, it is estimated that before they began to attack the fortress of the Ming army, these Han troops would have almost escaped.

But the ensuing siege battle made Li Sili completely lose the ability to speak. He didn't care about the losses of the Han army, no matter how many of these cannon fodder were killed and wounded, as long as he broke through the city in front of him, he could capture more.

What made him feel heartache was that the team of personal soldiers he sent to supervise the battle was too hard, and after engaging in the battle, they became the target of the defenders' key attacks. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, they wanted to run back, but because of the 60-degree steep slope behind them, it was difficult to escape quickly, and they became the best targets shot by the Ming army.

The Han soldiers who fled along the trench to the residential area behind the fortress would not be shot by the Ming army, but those soldiers who wanted to escape back to the direction of Houjin by the same route would definitely be taken care of by the Ming army.

Therefore, the only soldiers who were able to escape back were the last group of Han troops who had not yet rushed down the trench. There are more than 50 pro-soldiers around Li Sili, and these people are the family members that the generals of the Ming army will keep around, similar to the existence of private troops.

Li Sili took office, they were his own soldiers, and if they were dismissed and went home, they would become the family members of his family, which can be described as a group of people who really advanced and retreated with Li Sili. Just like after he surrendered to Houjin, these pro-soldiers did not hesitate to follow.

It took Li Sili more than ten years to raise such a small family, but most of them disappeared just now. It was a little difficult for him to accept the reality he saw in his mind, how many Han troops he had lost could be replenished by arresting civilians, but after losing so many families, he couldn't replenish it at all.

Even in front of those Jurchens who only focus on strength, whether he can keep his position is a question, of course, what worries him the most is the next attack, whether those Jurchens will feel that he is not hard enough, let him also follow the charge, these thoughts make him uneasy in his heart.

When Li Sili's heart was hesitating, one of the Jurchen guards beside Dolgon Belle came running over on horseback, sat on the horse and unceremoniously called his name, asking him to follow him to meet Dolgon's master.

Li Sili smiled and wanted to find out why Dolgon summoned him, but was interrupted by the Jurchen guard with a look of disdain, and only asked him to follow as soon as possible, completely treating him as a slave.

The behavior of this Jurchen guard made several of Li Sili's personal soldiers very angry, but Li Sili nodded at this Jurchen guard and looked submissive, as if he was receiving his own top boss, and he didn't feel humiliated at all.

Seeing his master get on the horse, and when several personal soldiers also wanted to follow, the Jurchen turned around and scolded viciously: "The master only asks to see Li Sili, you Southern Barbarians all stay in place to organize the team, prepare for the next attack, and if you dare to disobey the master's order, I will have to enforce the military law." ”

Several pro-soldiers who were about to get on the horse suddenly stopped their movements, and looked at their own generals in a daze, but heard Li Sili say without any excuse: "What are you doing, didn't you hear the order of this guard brother?" They all dismounted and waited here, pulled out the second Han army and divided the team, and when I came back, I would prepare to attack. ”

Watching Li Sili bow down and follow the Jurchen guard away, a relatively young soldier couldn't help but shake off the reins of the horse in his hand with some anger and said: "These Tartars really didn't have a good heart, and they said anything to add officials to the generals, and now even a small guard can reprimand the generals, this Tartar official is too tasteless, it is better to die in the city with Deputy General Liu." ”

An older soldier suddenly raised his eyebrows and reprimanded: "Shut up for me, do you want to kill everyone?" Don't look at what kind of place this is, dare to open your mouth and talk nonsense.

Look at the hair on your head, it's all shaved like this, can you run back again? Even if you run back, it's a death now. Now we can only stay here, and if we have any ideas, we will wait until we leave here.

However, let's keep an eye on ourselves, and if we are really picked for a while, don't work too hard. I just found out that the defenders of the North Fort are all aiming at the hardest working groups in the siege, and we don't dare to cause trouble for ourselves when we go up..."

Li Sili, who followed the Jurchen guards to Dolgon, was still dozens of steps away from Dolgon, and he couldn't wait to roll off his horse, perform a grand court salute to Dolgon, and hurriedly excuse himself for the failure of the attack.

In front of outsiders, Dolgon has always been very gentle, he stepped forward and walked a few steps, helped Li Sili up with his own hands, and then said softly: "On the battle array, General Li does not have to be formal.

I have come to you not to ask you for the blame, but to discuss with you the next battle plan. But then again, does General Li know the internal layout of this fortress? Who is this guard? Do you know him..."

Dolgon had hoped to learn some information about the fortress on the opposite side from Li Sili, the Ming general, and it would be better if he could say that he could surrender the defenders in the fortress.

However, Li Sili, as an old man in Jizhou Town, obviously had no friendship with the Liaodong Army taught by Zhao Rate, so he didn't know the generals in the fortress. As for the internal layout of this fortress, he didn't know much about the garrison guarding the Great Wall pass.

Dolgon knew that it was Zhao Shujiao, the chief soldier of the Ming army, who was now stationed in Zunhua City, and that the Houjin had always spared no effort in collecting intelligence from the Liaodong Army, after all, this was the first obstacle for them to enter the Ming Pass.

For Zhao Shujiao, a veteran of the Ming Kingdom, Dolgon knew that he was the founder of Qiantun in the town of Liaoxi, and that he had made great achievements in defending the city, and had repelled several small invasions of Houjin in Liaodong.

But in Liaodong, this veteran's ability to defend the city was not so superb, otherwise Houjin would have regarded him as an enemy of life and death.

Although I don't know what secrets this fortress has, it has now become a fortress of the Ming army that the Later Jin Left Route Army must uproot, and this is still the task that the two white flag soldiers themselves ask for.

Thinking of this, Dolgon had a headache. He knew that attacking this fortress was now a hot problem, and if he couldn't capture this fortress, his Great Khan's brother would probably take the opportunity to punish the two white flags and deprive him of a few oxen to be recorded.

And if you want to capture this fortress, you don't know how many two white flag oxen you have to fill in, which is also what the Great Khan's brother is happy to see.

Dolgon covered his forehead with his hand and thought for a long time before turning to Baga Lazhen behind him and said, "Haning, you pick two people to shout in front of the fortress. Tell the officers and soldiers in the fort that at this time abandon the village and surrender, and the Jin Kingdom should treat everyone well, and all soldiers will be rewarded, and those who have official positions will retain their original official positions.

But if we continue to resist stubbornly, after our Houjin army breaks through the fortress, there will inevitably be no chickens and dogs. Give them half an hour to think about it, and then begin the siege after half an hour. ”

After sending personnel to tell the Ming army in the fort, Dolgon then asked the summoned surrendered Ming gunners how to make the Fran machine guns in his hands use during the siege of the city, so that the Ming army could shoot the besieging soldiers without scruples.

The gunner hesitated for a long time to tell Dorgon that either he had to dig a hill of dirt and raise the position of the artillery position, or he would need to move forward, but in that case the artillery position would be within range of the small guns at the head of the fort.

Dorgon nodded, and then gave the order, "It is too time-consuming to dig up the dirt mountain, so it is better to move the artillery position a hundred paces further." As long as you can hold out until our army reaches the top of the city, I will count you as a great achievement.

General Li, you divide the team into two teams, one team is still on the front, and the other team goes around to the north of the fortress to attack. In my opinion, the front of this fortress can accommodate up to 200 people to attack up and down, and any more people will get in the way.

Therefore, you make a team of 150-200 people, and each team must also control the time of attack, the first team crosses the trench, the second team is allowed to enter the trench, and the first team dares to flee, and the second team will kill them.

In addition, Yingordai, you prepare 5 Niu Lu, three Niu Lu stand on the edge of the trench and shoot to suppress the city, and the other two Niu Lu you choose a favorable time to attack the city, as long as my Eight Banner soldiers climb to the top of the city, those Ming troops should collapse..."

Just as Dolgon had predicted, the Ming army, which had just been victorious, apparently had no intention of accepting his request for surrender, and instead fired muskets at the envoys who had come to persuade them to surrender.

However, with this act of persuasion, Dolgon successfully dispersed, and the shadow of defeat that had just shrouded the heads of the two white flags made these Jurchens realize that it was still their own side that had the advantage on the battlefield, not the Ming army that was surrounded on the opposite side.

And the Ming army in the fortress was also interrupted, because of the morale of the victory. They also reacted, they had defeated only a vassal army of the surrendered Jin, not those vicious Jurchen Tartars, and the war had only just begun.

The Jurchens' remarks threatening to slaughter the fort certainly frightened many local auxiliaries, but it also reminded many Ming troops in Liaodong of the most painful memories again, and they began to become more determined.
