On the 17th, the attack of this day, the Ming army once captured the head of the city and occupied a section of the city wall, but in the end, because the city gate could not be breached, the army could not enter the city, and was driven down the city wall by the Qing army.This made the generals who participated in the siege of the city dare to regret it, but for the Qing army in the city, it was infinite horror.It's only the first day, and the battle is like this, so how should we defend it?
Azig was furious at this and executed several generals who defended the city unfavorably, and even Bomu Bogol, the eleventh son of Huang Taiji, was executed by Azig because he fled from the city wall in battle.Helplessly, the first time the Ming army attacked the city, Azig used his strength to eat milk, did not kill a few people, and warned the Manchurian nobles that this city was really difficult to defend.It was night, in the camp of the Ming army.The soldiers of the Ming army who participated in the siege of the city retreated into the camp to rest, and after the generals counted the losses and placed the wounded, they immediately went to the commander's tent to discuss matters.In this battle, the Ming army attacked four gates together, and the Ming troops who attacked Chaoyang Gate and Xizhi Gate all landed on the top of the city, but the Ming army also paid huge casualties for this.Li Dingguo, Jin Shenghuan, Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi and other Ming troops killed more than 4,000 people in battle, more than 7,000 people were injured, and the forbidden army also suffered more than 1,000 casualties.With such a large battle loss, many generals who had retreated in blood couldn't help but feel a pain in their flesh, and they were also shocked by the tragic casualties in the siege battle.Of course, the main reason for such a huge number of casualties is the heavy use of firearms on both sides.In the past, if you put on battle armor and have arrows stuck in your body, you may not be killed, but the musket is different, and the armor-piercing ability is much stronger than that of bows and arrows and knives and spears.At this time, everyone talked about their respective situations.Li Dingguo frowned and said: "In this way, Azig has blocked all the city gates and made up his mind to wait for help." ”"If the gates hadn't been blocked by rocks this time, we might have rushed into the city."
Li Yuanyin said regretfully.Zhao Ming waved his hand, "Today, I just tried to attack, and I attacked the city, and the results were already good."
This time, we have also figured out the reality of the Qing army, and the next attack will be a hammer deal, and we will definitely break through the city and capture Azig alive. ”When everyone heard the words, so did their hearts.I almost broke it today, but after I made full preparations next time, I will definitely be able to break through the city."
Your Highness is right."
The generals looked happy.At this time, Wang Shuang suddenly hurriedly walked into the tent, and Zhao Ming, who was a little panicked, saluted and said: "Your Highness, the minister has an urgent report." ”Zhao Ming's eyes narrowed, his heart trembled slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
”Wang Shuang glanced at the surrounding generals, but did not speak.Zhao Ming immediately waved his hand, "Come forward." ”Wang Shuang immediately whispered in his ear, and the expression on Zhao Ming's face gradually became extremely gloomy.In the big tent, many generals couldn't help but wonder when they saw this, and they wanted to ask but they couldn't ask.At this time, Zhao Ming suddenly waved his hand and said, "That's it for today's discussion." ”After speaking, Zhao Ming got up, left the handsome position with a sinking face, and went behind the screen.This made Li Dingguo and the others look at each other, I don't know what happened, could it be that Wu Sangui sent troops?
This was expected by the regent, and he had also made a plan, so he shouldn't be so out of shape!
The generals were puzzled, but they could only leave the tent, and everyone asked Wang Shuang, but Wang Shuang shook his head and didn't say anything, which made everyone even more suspicious.Hundreds of thousands of troops have besieged Beijing, and Azig has become a turtle in an urn.There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Li Dingguo, Jin Shenghuan, Gao Yigong and others came by appointment.Zhao Ming's reaction yesterday made everyone really uneasy, and they were all wondering what was going on.In this Northern Expedition, Zhao Ming gave them some feudal towns to send troops, and also divided some shares of farms.Therefore, the capture of Beijing is to defeat the Manchu Qing Dynasty, recover Shenjing, and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, but also for their own interests.This kind of thing, which is not only in the interests of the imperial court, but also in the interests of the feudal town, can be said to be a rare occurrence in a hundred years, and everyone does not want to give up halfway.The group came to the handsome tent and happened to see Wang Shuang come out."
Yo~ Ladies and gentlemen, the last general is being ordered to invite you!"
Wang Shuang saw the crowd and saluted.At that moment, everyone entered the tent, as if they knew that everyone would come, and the guards had already set up a table in the tent and were serving wine and food to the table.The regent had strict military discipline, and during the march and battle, it was strictly forbidden to drink alcohol, and Li Dingguo couldn't help frowning when he saw the wine jar on the table, and the sense of ominousness in his heart was even worse.Everyone made a half-ring in the tent, the wine and food were ready, and Zhao Mingcai came out from behind the screen wearing a regular suit."
Sit down!"
Zhao Ming greeted everyone.Li Dingguo and the others were in their hearts, they had never seen the regent so haggard and depressed.For a while, everyone didn't dare to say or ask, so they could only sit down apprehensively.Zhao Ming picked up the wine jug, personally poured a glass of wine for everyone, and then picked up the wine glass, and stopped talking.Seeing this, Li Dingguo couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, what happened?"
”Just waiting for you to ask.Zhao Ming gave full play to his acting skills, picked up the wine glass, and went down without tears.Looking at the regent's tiger eyes with tears, there is a way that her husband doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place, and everyone sees this scene, and their hearts immediately soften.Jin Shenghuan was surprised: "Your Highness, why is this?"
”Zhao Minghu had tears in his eyes, put down the wine glass again, and said sadly: "It has been more than fifteen years since the Lone King raised his army.Since the day of the army, he was determined to expel the Tartars, recover Shenjing, recover the Han family, and revitalize the Ming Dynasty.But Lone this way, it is not easy, the battle to recover the southern capital, could have taken advantage of the situation to recover the north, but the Lone King betrayed the traitorous ministers, and 30,000 soldiers died tragically in Jiangbei.Now a few years have passed, and the lonely king has raised troops for the Northern Expedition, and he is about to recover Shenjing, but ~" Li Dingguo was shocked: "But what?
”Zhao Ming shook his head bitterly, "However, the Emperor Taishang, the King of Tang, the King of Yue, the King of E and other pro-vassal clans rebelled in Nanjing, put the emperor under house arrest, and falsely passed on the holy decree to make Gu a national thief.The lonely king has been fighting all his life, and he is angry with the Daming Center, why is he treated like this?
”As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned and speechless.Zhao Ming saw that everyone was silent, and he was anxious, it was time to express his position!
No one answered, it was too embarrassing, and I couldn't go on.Zhao Ming could only continue by himself: "Not long after, Nanjing will definitely send a secret envoy to inform you and others, so that you can wait to capture the Lone King."
King Gu knows that you still have doubts about Lone's loyalty, and Lone is not embarrassed for you to wait, you wait for each to lead the troops, but this great cause of recovering Shenjing will be abandoned halfway. ”The generals were silent for a while, and Jin Shenghuan suddenly stood up: "There is no His Royal Highness in the world, and the Ming Dynasty has long been destroyed by Jiannu."
If the Emperor Taishang and the clan want to deal with His Highness, they will ignore the righteousness, and it can be regarded as a rebellion, and the ministers will resolutely follow His Highness!
”Seeing this, Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi and others immediately said: "His Royal Highness is the regent, acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven. ”Li Dingguo exhaled, "To recover Shenjing, you must not give up halfway!"
