Dolgon's gaze was cold, and it gradually became extremely hot, as if it could breathe flames, and he recognized it, it was the banner of Li Xin of the Three Guards. Isn't Li Xin in Jinzhou? Didn't the scout say that he had already retreated west with his entire army to the Mongolian steppe? How did he appear under Shengjing City? Could it be that this Li Xin will not be able to fly and move to the sky?

A series of self-questions are actually self-deception, Dolgon's heart is like a mirror, Li Xinneng appeared in the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty like a descend from heaven, for no other reason, this person's surprise attack was successful. However, there are many garrisons in various fortresses in the northwest of Shengjing, how did this person quietly come to the city? He asked himself, even if he commanded the army, there was no such possibility.

However, now is no longer the time to think about these causes and consequences, and for the first time since the beginning of the twelve iron armors of Taizu, the Qing Dynasty is facing such an unprecedented crisis in front of them. Being directly smashed by the Ming army in Beijing, no matter what the actual results are, will be a heavy blow to the morale of the Qing Dynasty.

Dolgon glanced at Dai Shan beside him almost with resentment, if it weren't for the strategy he proposed to alleviate the so-called conflict between the flags, why would he be so stretched at this moment?

The actual situation is cruel, the entire Shengjing surrounding even the Manchu and Han Eight Banners are counted and there are only 5,000 garrisons, except for the defense of the surrounding fortresses, the real people who can be used to defend Shengjing may not exceed 5,000 people. According to his rough estimates, the Ming army outside the city was at least more than 10,000 people.

So the question is, whether the Qing Dynasty should choose to take the initiative to attack, or defend and wait for help, Dolgon is not sure about the idea for a while. If there were other Ming troops in front of him, he would not have thought about it, and he would definitely send troops to defeat them at the first time, but the current opponent was Li Xin, who had almost never won in several encounters with Li Xin. Although Dorgon was reluctant to admit it, the truth was cruelly laid out in front of him, and he had developed a fear or fear of Li Xin.

"Fourteenth brother, it's Nanban Li Xin, how should I deal with it?"

At this moment, Dai Shan's state of mind is definitely no better than Dorgon, he has also suffered a big loss at the hands of this person, and has even been captured by this person, and what has always made him heartbroken is that his most beloved son Wakda is still in the hands of this person. Since returning to Shengjing, mediating in the middle and giving orders, the shadow left in Jinzhou has gradually faded, who would have expected that this Nanban would appear again like a ghost? Could it be that Li Xin is his nemesis on behalf of goodness?

At the same time of fear, what made Dai Shan suffer was regret, because the focus of all the problems was that the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty was actually no more than 5,000 soldiers, if there were 100,000 Eight Banner Armor soldiers, why be afraid of the more than 10,000 Ming troops?

Thinking of this, Dai Shan suddenly shuddered, maybe Li Xin just saw this point before attacking Shengjing, how did this person know everything about the internal intelligence of the Qing Dynasty? In the past, there were merchants as a transit for his information, and he had always been aware of this, so he ordered all Han merchants to be prosecuted. But even so, the internal intelligence of the Qing Dynasty was transmitted as soon as possible, which could not help but make him shocked.

"For today's plan, seek stability, only stick to and wait for help!"

Dolgon almost gritted his teeth and said this, the two Qing kingdoms were almost the most powerful people, and they actually chose to stick to it and wait for help.

Suddenly, there was a dense sound of artillery under the city, which was a scattering bullet, and Dolgon, who had been in battle for a long time, immediately made a judgment. His heart also twitched, and suddenly the sound of shouting and killing like a rainbow poured up on the city wall, and all the armored soldiers in the city were terrified.

Looking at the original conflict of more than 1,000 people under the city, due to the haste of the incident and the lack of unified command, the Ming army was helpless in the face of the sudden appearance, after a round of bombardment by the Ming army's scattered artillery shells, all the shells were eroded, although the damage caused was not very large, but it caused them a great shock and suppression in terms of momentum.

Because this group of people is fighting privately, they are all infantry armor, and if they want to escape in the face of the surprise soldiers with superior forces, they can only make their deaths worse, so these battle-hardened infantry armor are very clear that their only way to survive is to fight back head-on, waiting for reinforcements in the city.

It is worthy of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, even in the face of absolute disadvantage, it still did not collapse, but chose to attack.

Cheng Mingjiu, who was in the middle of the musket phalanx, saw this, and couldn't help but secretly shout hello, this kind of morale and combat effectiveness are by no means comparable to the ordinary Ming army, but their opponent is the Three Guards, and there is only one ending. As the general said, the elite of the Three Guards is like a sword, and it will not be launched lightly, and once it is unsheathed, it will drink people's blood. And these dog tartars in front of them who rushed up with their own strength were the sacrificial sword objects of the Three Guards.

The musket fired a salvo, and the projectiles shot out like hail, but after three volleys, the Qing infantry armor that rushed to the front fell a large piece. However, Cheng Mingjiu also discovered a situation that had not happened before, many people were shot without falling to the ground, and the root cause was that the iron armor he was wearing successfully resisted some of the projectiles with weak impact. But this could not restore their decline, Lu Jiu's cavalry had been waiting impatiently, and after five volleys, they galloped from the flank, and with a single charge, these stubborn Tartars were like crumbling the river embankment......

Dolgon on Shengjing City and Dai Shan's eyes were split but helpless, and Dolgon suddenly shouted: "Mingjin, Mingjin!" Suddenly, the sound of gold and iron hammering sounded rapidly, and Ding Jingui, the Eight Banners Family, must not be sacrificed so meaninglessly. But how many people can get out of it?

The news of the Ming army's arrival in the city soon spread to the Shengjing Palace, and the two women in charge of the palace were much calmer than the men. Empress Zhezhe opened her mouth to complain, "After the death of the first emperor, the men have no intention of going out to war, look, they have all let the Nanban fight at the door of the house, and they are still shouting about what to do with the regents of the four kings......"

"Aunt Shenyan, although she is in the palace, how do you know that there is no eyeliner from the foreign minister?" Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace persuaded that at this moment, the new emperor has not yet ascended to the pole, the number of the Huang Taiji Temple has not been decided, and the names of their queen concubines are also undecided.

Empress Zhezhe no longer complained, but sighed, "It's not for them to be angry, as soon as the first emperor died, he bullied you and my orphans and widows!" ”

Concubine Zhuang Bumu Butai suddenly said: "It seems that the mother and son of the Yehenara clan are still in the imperial village outside Beijing, I am afraid that it is not safe, so I should send someone to escort them back!" ”

Yehenara is the side concubine of Huang Taiji, and her background is low, and her status is not high, but her son Shuo Sai was withdrawn by Dolgon to inherit the position, which was pushed to the forefront. Ye Bushu, who was born by the concubine before, was pushed to the front by Dolgon, but he was poisoned for no apparent reason. After the unwilling Dolgon pushed out Shuosai, in order to prevent him from following in the footsteps of Ye Bushu, he moved his mother and son to the imperial village outside Beijing to protect them. It wasn't until Daishan returned and proposed the regents of the Four Kings that Dolgon gave up the idea of supporting the Tsakser and gave up on the poor mother and son.

Speaking of the mother and son, Queen Zhezhe instinctively swelled up with disgust, "Why do you mention them well?" ”

In the harem of Huang Taiji, the Mongolian Borzigit family is dominant, and the imperial concubines in the five palaces of Chongde are all Borzigit, among which the queen Zhezhe and the concubine of Guan Sui Palace and the concubine of Yongfu Palace are aunts and nephews, and the imperial concubines of the other two palaces are all the widows of Mongolian Lin Dan Khan. The rest of the side concubines who do not have palace numbers are much more underground, and naturally this Yehenala clan is not treated by the first or second people in the harem dominated by Mongolian women, not to mention that they are still the sworn enemies of political disputes.

Seeing that the aunt was reluctant to mention the mother and daughter, Concubine Zhuang blinked, and the queen saw her niece's expression, as if she suddenly realized, and immediately called the eunuch and asked him to take his own edict to invite the mother and son of the side concubine Yehenara to return to Beijing and return to the palace.

Dolgon and Dai Shan counted the bannermen who fled back to the city, and lost seven or eight hundred people, which made people feel distressed, so they strictly ordered anyone to leave the city for any reason, and at the same time sent people to the direction of Haizhou Gaizhou to send a large army back to help.

But Dolgon and Dai Shanqi hadn't even taken a breath, but the development of the shape made the two of them more and more worried. Goshha reported: "Master, the Ming army began to sweep the surrounding fortresses and villages, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, many, many hoarded granaries were burned by them!" ”

Dai Shan's eyes were straight, you must know the grain accumulated in the imperial villages around Shengjing, but the family background of the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years, how did he ignore that the Ming army also learned to fight grass valley!

Dolgon looked up, and saw a black pillar of smoke rising from the sky in the distance, and he was distressed but had nothing to do, he couldn't fight to the death with a limited number of troops.

Li Xin dared to go deep into the hinterland of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so naturally he did not plan to capture Shengjing, after all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had been running Shengjing for many years, and the city walls were tall and strong, which was by no means something that could be captured by tens of thousands of people in this area, not to mention that he dared to come here because of its internal emptiness and the time lag in the arrival of reinforcements.

The symbolic significance of this sneak attack on the hinterland of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is definitely greater than the actual combat significance, and the target of the attack must be easy first and then difficult, so as to cause as much damage to the Manchu Tartars as possible, so that they will have palpitations when they mention this matter in the future, and they will not dare to despise the Ming Dynasty again.

Li Xin then targeted the imperial villages scattered all over the Shengjing City, and specially assigned 5,000 people to use them for sweeping. He also specially made a pre-war mobilization, "Grab it as much as you like before dark, burn everything that you can't take with you, and make sure that not a grain of grain and a house are left for the Tartars!" Remember, be sure to return before dark...... "There is not much time left for them, and they must evacuate Shengjing after dark, otherwise they may encounter Manchu reinforcements."

The eyes of the soldiers of the three guards who were selected as the right to sweep brightened, and such a good thing of burning, killing and looting at will had never happened in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Xin emphasized another sentence, "There is only one article, and it is absolutely not allowed to be strong. Rape women, violators will be executed! ”

There was a burst of laughter in the army. See the thirteenth brother forbidden strong. Rape woman, Lu Jiu said with a little regret: "The thirteenth brother also pities the Tartar woman? ”

Li Xin turned around and said coldly: "How long has it been since these men touched a woman?" If you vent your body, how can you still fight? ”

An unprecedented tragic sweep kicked off vigorously around Shengjing.
