In Baoding City, Duduo's face was as cold as frost.
He brought all the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners troops to protect the capital, but the situation still did not improve.
The Ming army was aggressive and gained a slight advantage in every confrontation.
Although this advantage is not big, it is also very terrifying when accumulated together.
As the saying goes, the Ming army's advantages are getting bigger and bigger, while the Qing army's disadvantages are getting bigger and bigger.
At this moment, news came that the Queen Mother and Emperor Shunzhi had arrived in Baoding.
Duduo was shocked.
When he left the capital, he had a good talk with the little emperor, telling him to stay in the capital honestly and not to distract the soldiers.
It must have been that crazy woman's idea Duduo was angry and resentful.
He doesn't have any good impressions of the current Queen Mother.
If it weren't for this guy, how could the Fourteenth Brother endure the tremendous pain and be burdened with unwarranted infamy and accusations?
But now that the situation in the Qing Dynasty was in danger, Duduo really didn't want to have another conflict with the Queen Mother and the Emperor, so he decided to go to meet him.
When Duduo left the capital, he had already transferred all the Eight Banners of Manchuria, among which naturally there were Zhenghuang Banner and Xianghuang Banner, which were related to Emperor Shunzhi.
Therefore, when Emperor Shunzhi and the Queen Mother came to Baoding this time, the ceremony was very simple and even shabby.
Duduo immediately sent people to welcome Emperor Shunzhi and the Queen Mother into the city.
Although the Ming army has not launched a fierce attack on Baoding Fucheng, a war may break out at any time.
Staying outside the city is extremely dangerous.
Although Duduo had no good impression of Emperor Shunzhi, he did not want him to die suddenly.
After settling the emperor and the queen mother, Duduo went to question them.
Perhaps only he dares to do this.
"Why is the Emperor so willful?
Why does the Queen Mother spoil the Emperor?
The front line is where children and women should be."
Duduo said proudly.
"The front line may not be a place for children and women.
But if the Ai family and the emperor don't come, the regent can guarantee that the soldiers will have the courage to fight decisively."
However, Da Yuer refused to give in and said coldly.
Duduo was choked by her and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Perhaps the regent wants to fight to the death with the Ming army, but most of the soldiers may not think so.
They still have the illusion that they can retreat outside the pass."
Dayu'er said coldly: "The Ai family and the emperor came here to cut off their thoughts.
Either defeat the Ming army or die."
She spoke so calmly that even Dodo was surprised.
Why is this woman so clueless?
"Have you ever thought about what if you really lose?"
"If we are really defeated, the Ai family will die together with the emperor."
Da Yuer refused to give in.
"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you.
Now that you're here, let's play some role."
Duduo sneered: "You don't need me to teach you how to boost morale."
From beginning to end, Emperor Shunzhi didn't say a word and leaned closely against Dayu'er.
"The Ai family will take the emperor with them."
As soon as Dayu'er finished saying this, he saw a soldier hurriedly ran outside the house and knelt down and said: "Report, a large number of Ming troops were found outside the city."
Dayu'er and Duoduo were both surprised.
"How come you were born so quickly?"

He turned to leave, but Dayu'er said, "The Ai family, the emperor, and the regent will go together."
Duduo frowned and finally said: "That's fine."
Climbing to the top of Baoding City, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery outside the city.
It was obvious that a Ming army of tens of thousands of people was approaching Baoding City.
Duduo could not calculate the specific strength of the Ming army, but it was at least more than 70,000 or 80,000, and possibly even more than 100,000.
You must know that there are only 50,000 defenders in Baoding City at this moment, and the rest of the troops are assigned to Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming to guard the flanks.
The Ming army's advance was not fast, but it seemed very calm.
Duduo squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and found that he was very familiar with this Ming army.
It turned out that the commander-in-chief of this Ming army was Gao Jie, the same Gao Jie who had launched a Northern Expedition, the same Gao Jie who had turned Beizhili and Henan upside down.
This is really a fateful confrontation between enemies.
Duduo had fought against Gao Jie.
In his opinion, this Ming army general was not only very capable of commanding battles, but also had a very vicious temper.
Gao Jie was able to do many things that others disdained to do.
Since Gao Jie came to the door this time, Duduo naturally wanted to have a good fight with him.
He no longer believed that Gao Jie's luck would be as good as last time.
Duduo ordered the city to be on alert, ready to fight at any time.
When the Qing soldiers, especially those from the Eight Banners, saw that Emperor Shunzhi and the Queen Mother were also at the city gate, their morale immediately rose.
Although the Ming army has won most of the victories in the past two years, looking at the historical results, the Qing army still has the advantage.
With their backs to the fortified city, they had no reason to fear the Ming army.
At the foot of the city, Gao Jie held the horse's rein with one hand and walked slowly towards the city gate.
Behind him were tens of thousands of fine cavalry and dozens of cannons.
These cannons were so huge that they were dragged forward by ropes tied to rolling logs by civilian husbands and Dingzhuang.
In appearance, they look like red cannons, but they are not.
This is a new type of artillery produced by the Firearms Department of the Ministry of Industry by combining the Fran cannon and the red cannon.
This artillery was not officially put into use until before the Northern Expedition of the Shandong Ming Army.
This kind of artillery not only has a fast rate of fire and a long range, but is also very powerful.
Ordinary red cannons can break down walls and towers, but this giant cannon can directly blast open city gates.
Of course, Duduo on top of the city didn't know this.
So when the Ming army pushed the artillery within the range, although Duduo felt something strange, he did not react immediately.
Until the cannon sounded.
The sound of cannons sounded like thunder in summer.
The huge lead bullets headed straight for the city gate, quickly opening large holes in it.
After a round of shelling, the city gate was riddled with holes, and all the Qing soldiers at the top of the city felt trembling.
Before they could react, the second round of shelling began.
This time the city gate was smashed into pieces.
This time Duduo was completely stupid.
He watched helplessly as the city gate was shattered, and he watched as the Ming cavalry roared toward the city gate but could do nothing.
It was not until the Ming cavalry arrived at the city gate that he woke up from a dream and shouted: "Hurry up and block the city gate.
Go and block the city gate."
But how can we block it now?
The vanguard of the Ming army's cavalry has already entered the city.
However, the width of the city gate is limited after all, and it is impossible for the Ming army to enter the city instantly.
The Qing soldiers reacted and smashed down rolling logs and rocks to stop the Ming army.
The Ming army gradually suffered casualties.
Many cavalrymen rolled off their horses and fell to the ground and were trampled to pieces.

But no one took a step back, they only had Baoding City in their eyes.
Capture the city, they have only one goal and that is to capture the city Emperor Shunzhi on the top of the city was still a child after all, and he burst into tears when he saw this scene.
Da Yu'er held him in her arms, patted him and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it's almost over.
It's almost over
