"Huang Taiji, it seems that the luck of this scholar is good."

Li Hongyu glanced at the copper coin hanging in the grass in the distance and disappeared, turned to Huang Taiji with a smile and said, "If the next shot can be shot, it seems that God wants to save those thousand people." ”

Huang Taiji stood there expressionlessly, he didn't think that Li Hongyu just shot the copper coin by luck, the more important thing to shoot the copper coin at such a distance was strength.

At this moment, Huang Taiji finally understood why Li Hongyu wanted to test his archery skills with him, Li Hongyu did this not on a whim, but was confident that his musket shooting skills were so high, not inferior to his bow shooting skills.

Huang Taiji now began to feel remorse in his heart, blaming him for being too young and vigorous to beat Li Hongyu in the competition, and brought up the matter of Caitou, now it seems that he not only can't get the musket in Li Hongyu's hand, but also is very likely to lose a thousand Liaodong people.

Li Hongyu saw that Huang Taiji's face was gloomy, and knew that he realized that things were not good, as if he had been calculated by himself, so he smiled and raised his gun to aim at a newly hung copper coin on the tree in the distance.

Seeing this, everyone at the scene held their breath and looked intently at the copper coin in the distance, as long as Li Hongyu's shot could hit the copper coin, then he would win the gamble with Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji clenched his fists tightly, his face was cold, and he felt quite nervous in his heart, if he lost this time, then he would be humiliated, and a thousand Liaodong people were put in for nothing, and if he spread it, he would definitely be laughed at.

Li Hongyu secretly took a deep breath, he knew that his shot was related to the fate of a thousand Liaodong people, so he calmed down, pulled the trigger with a move of his index finger, and the musket slammed into a muffled sound.

After hearing the gunshots, everyone at the scene raised their hearts one after another, not knowing that their eyes were staring at the copper coin in the distance, and the success or failure was in this move.

With a bang, the copper coin in the distance made a crisp sound, and then ripped off the tied red thread and flew out.

"It's over!" Huang Taiji's face changed suddenly when he saw this, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was dumb this time and couldn't say that he was suffering from eating Coptis chinensis, so he didn't mention the damn color head if he knew it, and as a result, he was taken advantage of by Li Hongyu.

Rumble!

The Ming army at the scene suddenly boiled, and they all raised their weapons in their hands and cheered, and the crowd was excited, and Li Hongyu's superb archery skills opened their eyes.

"Huang Taiji, this scholar can wait for the arrival of those people." In the midst of the tsunami-like cheers of the crowd, Li Hongyu threw the musket in his hand to the guards on the side, and said to the iron-faced Huang Taiji with a smile.

"Rest assured, this official will definitely fulfill his promise." Huang Taiji replied expressionlessly, eager to slap himself in the face, and try to see what kind of color he mentioned!

"Huang Taiji, you must think that you are very proud to use the people of Jinzhou to threaten this scholar, right?"

Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, he knew that Huang Taiji was not happy now, but he still had something even more unpleasant waiting for Huang Taiji, and walked up to Huang Taiji and asked in a low voice.

"What do you mean, scholar?" Huang Taiji felt inexplicably surprised when he saw the smile on Li Hongyu's face, it was obvious that Li Hongyu's smile had a deep meaning, so he pretended to be calm and asked, he would not easily admit that the matter had something to do with him.

"Huang Taiji, we have a saying in the Ming Dynasty called 'cocoon self-restraint', although you gave Nurhachi such a clever plan to use the people of Jinzhou to balance this university, but at the same time you also gave the method of cracking to this university."

Li Hongyu didn't want to dwell too much on this matter, he wanted to say another thing, and said quietly after hearing this.

"How to crack it?" Huang Taiji was stunned, and he didn't understand what Li Hongyu meant for a while, so he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

"If this scholar leaves you on the mountain, do you think Nurhachi is willing to exchange the lives of the people of Jinzhou for your lives?"

Seeing that Huang Taiji hadn't realized the meaning of what he was saying, Li Hongyu lowered his voice and said coldly, "Or, this scholar killed you, do you think Nurhachi is still in the mood to attack Jinzhou?" ”

"You ......" Huang Taiji was taken aback when he heard this, and subconsciously reached out to touch the knife on his waist, and only when he pressed his hand on his waist did he remember that he didn't bring a weapon today.

"However, since this scholar let you go once before, he won't kill you now."

The next moment, Li Hongyu turned around, looked up at the sunset in the sky, and then said to Huang Taiji, "It's not early, this scholar has not prepared your meal here, after coming down the mountain, tell Nurhachi, this scholar will let him know the power of the Daming firearm tomorrow." ”

"Sending off!"

Saying that, Li Hongyu commanded the guards beside him in a deep voice, and led Yuan Chonghuan and other Ming army generals to leave, leaving Huang Taiji standing there with a stunned expression, he originally thought that Li Hongyu was going to be unfavorable to him, but Li Hongyu actually left.

"Let me go once?" After Li Hongyu's figure disappeared from sight, Huang Taiji muttered a sentence in his mouth, he didn't understand why Li Hongyu said this, the two had never dealt with each other before, except for the Battle of Tieling.

"Could it be ......" Suddenly, Huang Taiji remembered something, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

After the Battle of Tieling that year, the defeated Huang Taiji fled in embarrassment, but he encountered an ambush of Jin Taishi on the way, and Jin Taishi let him go for the sake of Huang Taiji is his own nephew, otherwise he would have become a prisoner of the Ming army, and he would be killed on the spot because of resistance.

Huang Taiji secretly felt fortunate at that time, if he was replaced by another general to lead the army to ambush, he would not have escaped at all, and thought it was lucky, and did not think much about why Jintaishi, who was related to him, set up an ambush.

Now Li Hongyu's faint words have revealed the truth that Huang Taiji was "lucky" to escape at that time, and it was Li Hongyu who intended to let him go, otherwise he would never have used Jintai Stone to set up an ambush.

This made Huang Taiji feel mixed feelings in his heart for a while, and he never expected that Li Hongyu would let him go, otherwise he, the fourth Baylor, would have already been the head at that time, and there would be no chance of making a comeback.

"Let's go." Seeing Huang Taiji standing there with a complicated expression and falling into deep thought, a Ming military attache standing next to him waved his hand at him and walked away.

Huang Taiji came back to his senses, he didn't have time to chase after him, and a bitter frustration appeared in his heart, he thought that he was not inferior to Li Hongyu, but now it seems that Li Hongyu is a step higher than him, and he didn't regard it as a threat at all, otherwise how could he let him go twice?

Handsome tent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Jiannu has set his sights on Jinzhou City, and this official has decided to divide his troops to garrison Jinzhou after weighing."

Li Hongyu glanced around at the jubilant generals present, and said to Yuan Chonghuan who was sitting below him with a serious expression, "Lord Yuan, you led 20,000 people down the back mountain at midnight, and this official will hand over Jinzhou City to you, and you must keep the city safe!" ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately showed a look of surprise, and they were quite surprised by Li Hongyu's division of troops, you must know that the strength of the Ming army was already at a disadvantage, once 20,000 people were transferred, then there would only be more than 10,000 people left on the mountain, which was too dangerous, and it was difficult to stop the offensive of the Houjin army.

"University scholar, it's better for the lower officials to stay in Shimen Mountain, the people of Liaodong and the imperial court need you!" Yuan Chonghuan naturally couldn't sit back and watch Li Hongyu stay on Shimen Mountain to take risks, and he was stunned when he heard this, and then said to Li Hongyu in a continuous voice.

"Lord Yuan, if the official leaves, isn't it because the official is afraid of Jiannu?"

Li Hongyu shook his head when he heard this, and said to Yuan Chonghuan in a deep voice, "The official has made up his mind, Lord Yuan doesn't need to persuade again, the top priority is to protect the people of Jinzhou City, they have already suffered from being uprooted from their homeland, how can they be allowed to fall into the clutches of Jiannu again?" ”

"Alas!" Yuan Chonghuan knew Li Hongyu's character, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, only to swallow back the words of persuasion that came to his lips.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why Jiannu came to attack must be because the Mongols are coming, and they are worried that they will be attacked by us and the Mongols, so they want to break them one by one and attack us who are at a disadvantage first."

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a little dull and depressing, Li Hongyu pondered for a while and then said loudly, "According to the agreement between this official and the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan, the Mongolian army will come to Shimen Mountain in three days, as long as we can defend Shimen Mountain and Jinzhou City for another three days, Jiannu will flee and retreat without a fight." ”

"Therefore, this official hopes that you can fulfill your duties, report to Jun's grace, and appease the people."

Saying that, Li Hongyu said solemnly, "This official has decided to live and die with Shimen Mountain, and play the prestige of our Heavenly Empire!" ”

"Scholar, we must go all out, and after death, we will never let Jiannu get involved in Shimen Mountain and Jinzhou City." Yuan Chonghuan stood up when he heard this, bowed to Li Hongyu with a serious expression, and said with his hand.

"Go all out, and then die!"

Hula, the generals on the scene stood up one after another, bowed to Li Hongyu in unison, and their morale was boosted, with Li Hongyu, a Ming assistant minister from the first grade, here to accompany them, what else are they afraid of?

"I would like to thank you here." Seeing this, Li Hongyu got up and bowed his hand to Yuan Chonghuan and the others, and said, "If this official is lucky enough to be alive after this battle, he will definitely set up a banquet to invite you, and everyone will rest when they get drunk!" ”

"Defeat Jiannu and get drunk!" Yuan Chonghuan and the others immediately shouted loudly when they heard this, everyone wanted to drink this glass of celebration wine.

"Lord Yuan, Jiannu has now obtained the firearms of Guangning City, so after you go back, you must mobilize the people in the city to defend the city together, only by defending the city can everyone have hope of survival."

Li Hongyu nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, and then told Yuan Chonghuan in a deep voice that the firearms, weapons, and grain and grass in the armory in Guangning City were all seized by Houjin, especially firearms, which would be a huge danger to the Ming army.

"Rest assured, the lower officials will definitely hold Jinzhou and live up to the high expectations of the scholars." Yuan Chonghuan replied with a serious expression, his mood seemed a little nervous, once the Houjin siege the city, then the defense of Jinzhou would become the first major battle in his life.

At this moment, Yuan Chonghuan would never have imagined that Huang Taiji, who went up the mountain today, would become the biggest enemy in his life in the future, and this meeting between the two had actually opened the curtain of grievances between the two parties.
