Chapter 570: Liaodong Dangerous Situation

On the eighth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Tianwu, the Qing army camps were covered with fifty miles away in Chenyang City, especially on Qipan Mountain in the northeast. Flags and flags were waving, and the vast camps and flags seemed to be out of sight. At this time, the camp of Emperor Dorgon, the Emperor Shenxing of the Qing Dynasty, was stationed here.

Outside the tents of the Qing army's central army were covered with elite Ge Bush soldiers and Bayala soldiers wearing yellow cotton armor. They were the vanguard camp and guardians of the Qing emperor Dorgon.

Since Dorgon ascended the throne and became emperor, he changed the two white flags that originally belonged to him to two yellow flags, just like Huang Taiji's original practice. To put it bluntly, he restored the status of the two yellow flags in the Nurhaci era (Dorgon's brothers' two white flags were originally two yellow flags, but after Huang Taiji took office, he forcibly changed them to two white flags.)

The central army tents were filled with princes and ministers of the Qing Dynasty. In addition to Emperor Shenxing Dorgon, there were also banner owners such as Ajige, Laimubu, Fei Yangguo, Jiergalang, Suksah, and Oboi, as well as six officials from Chengzheng, Ning Wanwo, Bao Chengxian and others, as well as several Korean and Japanese banner owners.

Lai Mubu and Fei Yangguo are also the sons of Nurhaci. Like Ajige, they are not favored by Huang Taiji and are often suppressed. Now Dorgon has become the emperor, and there are only three brothers. He asked the three to lead one banner to fill the Eight Banners to show their grace.

"It's God really helping me with the Qing Dynasty!"

When Dorgon learned that the entire Dashun army was heading south to fight the Ming army, he was extremely excited and almost danced with intelligence in his hand.

Ning Wan, the new chief traitor, posted a congratulations and said, "I congratulate the emperor and congratulate the emperor. At this time, the battle between Mingshun is a great opportunity for the rise of my Qing Dynasty!"

Dorgon asked with a smile: "What do scholar Ning have any opinions?"

Ning Wan, I lowered my head and replied: "The snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman will benefit! My Qing Dynasty only needs to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. When both of them are in trouble, my Qing Dynasty can enter the pass and pacify the Central Plains in one fell swoop!"

Bao Chengxian replied: "I am worried that the bandits are not the opponent of the Ming army. If they are destroyed, our Qing Dynasty will directly face the Heavenly Martial Army."

Everyone in the hall was startled. According to the current situation, this situation was very likely to happen.

Compared to the bandits, the Eight Banners generals were more afraid of the Tianwu Army, and the Tianwu Emperor had always been hostile to the Qing Dynasty, and he was even more capable, and he was afraid of being a strong enemy in the future.

Several North Korean generals and Japanese generals did not understand what these Manchu men were talking about, so they could only nod and sit down, waiting for the order.

Dorgon pondered: "Sir Bao's concern makes sense, but unfortunately those local buns don't want us to enter the pass..."

Dorgon wrote letters many times to persuade Wu Sangui, Mao Yuanyi and other Liaodong generals to surrender, and the conditions offered were very favorable. However, they were still waiting. Mao Yuanyi had even had contact with the Shun Army and was preparing to accept Li Zicheng's surrender.

Bao Chengxian said: "I suggest that while sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight, our Qing soldiers took the opportunity to capture Shenyang and marched into the entire Liaodong, controlling everything within Shanhaiguan and taking the initiative!"

Dorgon nodded and said, "As long as we capture Chenyang, our Qing soldiers will rise south together. I believe that the Wu Zu family will know each other."

His face suddenly became gloomy and he said, "If they were not aware of their own behavior, they would have to completely kill them, especially Mao Yuanyi, the general of Shanhaiguan. He wiped out the Manchurian Red Flags back then, which was a shame for the Qing Dynasty. This person must not be kept!"

In the end, Dorgon followed Bao Chengxian's advice and attacked Chenyang with all his strength. He asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to go to Chenyang to persuade him to surrender. If Hong Chengchou did not surrender again, he would have to break the city with all his strength.

The Eight Banners Army besieged the city for more than two months and has not taken Shenyang. It is not that Hong Chengchou, a nail household, has a strong defense, but that Dorgon has a loving talent and has not tried his best. After all, Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui and others have not gone to rescue him, and it is difficult for Hong Chengchou to hold on to food in his arms and food.

Dorgon was different from most of the Qing Dynasty's powerful people. Others plundered gold, silver and treasures after the city was broken, but he was only interested in people, whether it was men or women, mainly those with skills. He was interested in them.

During the Liaodong War several years ago, Hong Chengchou insisted on defending the small Xiping Fort. He heard that he had been the governor of the Central Plains, Dorgon became interested in him and couldn't wait to see this person.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Eight Banners Army, like ants and locusts, continued to climb the Shenyang city wall, and some of the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners who shouted foreign accents also desperately climbed the ladder.

The red cannons at the top of the city of Chenyang have already exhausted their ammunition and turned into mutes. There are fewer tools such as rolling wood and tincture oil in the city, and there are only a steady stream of gold juice.

Dozens of cloud ladders were concentrated at the northern city wall. Under the protection of the protection board, Korean soldiers and Japanese soldiers climbed the city wall from cloud ladders, which soon caused a melee to fall on the northern city wall of Chenyang.

Suddenly, as a large number of flames surged, a raging fire suddenly ignited on the northern city wall, and the Ming and Qing armies on the city wall were engulfed by the fire snake in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the sudden burning fire, Dorgon felt his lips dry. He really didn't expect that Hong Chengchou was so cruel that he set fire to everyone to death regardless of the life and death of his own soldiers.

"He's a ruthless man!"

Dorgon's love for Hong Chengchou became deeper and deeper. He ordered: "Those who pass on my military orders will be rewarded with a thousand taels of money if they capture Hong Chengchou alive!"

With the reward of 1,000 taels of gold, the army of siege not only Han, Chao and Sun were red in their eyes, but even the eight-banner armored soldiers wanted to charge into the battle.

It was just that due to military orders, they had to live behind them. After all, seven or eighteenth of the infantry siege were cannon fodder, and most of them died on the way to the city.

All the long ladders were lifted out, and almost all the Eight Banners Army rushed to the northern city wall. The defenders of the North City Wall of Chenyang did not expect that after the fire plot was successful, they would actually arouse more fierce attacks from the Qing army.

The Qing army attacked the city wall in one go, which was far beyond Hong Chengchou's expectations. According to expectations, the Qing army was suddenly attacked by fire and showed a decline after being blocked from the offensive, but things went against their wishes. The Qing army exploded with stronger and unprecedented combat power.

In front of the city tower, General Chen Yang Zuo Guangxian urged again: "Governor, you can't stand it anymore, let's break through quickly!"

A trace of despair flashed through Hong Chengchou's mind, but he quickly calmed down and decided to say, "Pull out your goose-length sword and follow me to the city to kill the enemy!"

As he said that, he pulled out his goose feather knife, and the wind blew under his feet, and killed the city wall.
