Yang Huai left Gu Zhong behind, and Chen Ze was stationed in Shenyang and Liaoyang. He led more than 10,000 troops and horses along the Hun River and Suzi River to Hetuala City. In addition to the soldiers and horses, there were also thousands of family members of the Hetuala defenders. , after the Manchus entered the customs, a large number of people moved from Jianzhou to the customs. Many families of Hetuala soldiers and generals were in Shenyang, and they happened to be taken hostage by Marshal Yang.
What? Taking the enemy’s family members as hostages is better than using force?
Yang Huai laughed when he heard this discussion. He remembered the famous saying of Emperor Guangwu, whom he respected most: "As long as you can win, you can use all conspiracies and tricks, even if you are shameless, you don't have to do it."
Because there were rivers to transport military supplies, the march was quite fast along the way, and they quickly arrived at the city of Hetuala and met up with Li Rubi, the commander-in-chief of the Western Bo Dynasty.
Yang Huai asked the emperor: "Uncle Xi, during the period when I led the troops to the west, are the Tatars in Hetuala still peaceful?"
Dynasty Xian said angrily: "The Tatars are at peace, but Bilon is hiding in the city and not going to fight. The city is too strong, so the general tried to attack it several times, but all failed.
"It doesn't matter, soon the Tatars won't be able to think of fighting anymore." Yang Huai smiled mysteriously, his smile was unpredictable, which gave Wang Chaoxian the feeling that a commander was strategizing from afar and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away, and he couldn't help but feel solemn. Respectfully.
??
"Is Mangdai with the blue flag here? I am Ruama, Hahazi (Manchu: son). The Ming army captured Tokyo and Shengjing, and the Qing Dynasty was over. Our whole family's lives are in the hands of the Ming army. , stop fighting, abandon the city and surrender!"
"Hashan, my Eryigen (Manchu: husband), the Ming army did not massacre the bannermen, go home quickly, the children cannot live without Amma!"
"I am Tubai of Lata's family. Amma, are you there? My son has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. You should also put down your swords and guns and go home. Eni and our whole family are waiting for you!"
The shouts floated into Hetuala, and on the city wall, the Qing government minister Yi Bilong and the first-class public servant Chun looked at each other with pale faces.
"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~"
The Ming army began to shoot arrows, and the arrows were wrapped with letters of surrender written by family members outside the city to the defenders.
"You are not allowed to pick them up. I will burn these letters for you. Anyone who dares to read the letters privately will be killed!"
Ye Bilong roared, but his voice was trembling.
That night, several Eight Banners soldiers lowered the city to the Ming army camp and surrendered; the next day, a dozen more escaped; the third day, another dozen escaped??
In seven days, more than a hundred soldiers escaped. Although not many, it greatly damaged morale.
"Commander, the morale of our army is unstable. The only solution now is to get out of the city and fight the Ming army while we can still control the army," Pengchun said to Ye Bilong.
"Alas! That's the only way it can be", Yi Bilong nodded.
"Tomorrow, the commander-in-chief can concentrate his artillery on Nancheng and open the south gate for a decisive battle with the Ming army," Pengchun said again.
"Good! Just follow the advice of the Duke!"
??
The early morning sunshine awakened the sleeping Hetuala. The three thick southern city gates opened, and groups of Qing troops lined up out of the city. The city has nine gates, three of which are built on the southern city wall.<
/p>
"Boom~boom~boom~"
The artillery on the city fired at the Ming army.
"Cum for me", Li Rubi yelled.
"Boom~boom~boom~"
The Ming army's artillery began to counterattack.
The two sides fired at each other. The Qing army's artillery was placed on the city, commanding from a high position and could shoot farther; the Ming army's artillery was more numerous.
The artillery bombardment was lively, but it didn't last long. When the two armies were fighting, the artillery stopped, hurting one's own people, which was not good.
More than 30,000 Ming troops and 15,000 Qing troops strangled together.
The Ruan Jin Department of the Ming Army clashed with the Haita Department of the Qing Army twice. Haita's cavalry was very fierce. Ruan Jin suffered a small setback and slowly retreated.
Yi Bilong took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, but Yang Huai did not panic at all, and the rest of the Ming army's military formation did not waver at all. Under Yang Huai's command, the various departments of the Ming army responded quickly. The Dynasty's pioneers, Tong Yangjia's troops, avoided the direction of the Haita troops' attack and moved forward as a whole.
; Li Rubi sent reinforcements to Ruan Jin; Yang Huai took command of the Chinese army.
After Li Rubi approached the Qing army, she did not attack immediately. Instead, she formed a three-layer cannon squad and fired volleys at the pursuing Qing army. Under the attack of the Ming army's firearms, Haita's offensive was contained, and Ruan Jin took advantage of the opportunity to regroup.
, and Li Rubi joined forces to attack the Haita array, and Haita was forced to retreat to the city wall; Dynasty also repelled Nigali, and Tong Yangjia repelled Pengchun.
Ye Bilong ordered to return to the city. The Ming army took advantage of the victory and attacked the south gate, but was repulsed by the defenders firing firearms and arrows.
The next day, E Bilong once again went out to Nancheng to form a formation. He set up a three-tiered bow and arrow array outside Nancheng, and the infantry moved forward to fight the Ming army. He also ordered Haita's cavalry to attack the right wing of the Ming army to help.
This time, Yang Huai was fully prepared to deal with the Qing cavalry. Ru Lin's spears made it difficult for the Qing cavalry to move forward, and the rain of arrows caused heavy casualties to the Haita tribe.
"Kill~kill~kill~"
Ruan Jin saw that the Qing cavalry was blocked by spears and slowed down. He immediately seized the opportunity and led Fulehe and Yuerduo to attack Haita with more than 2,000 cavalry.
"Bang~Bang~Bang~"
The war horses collided, and the fast Ming army collided with the slow Qing army.
Haita was knocked off his horse by a Ming army cavalry. Before he could get up, another horse galloped up, and the horse's hoofs stepped heavily on his chest. Riding again and again, Haita was trampled into mud.
The Qing army's cavalry was defeated, but the infantry showed tenacity and continued to maintain their array to engage in battle.
The infantry of the Ming army marched calmly in formation, firing with muskets as they advanced; behind the formation, the Yang Huailing cannons moved forward and fired hard at the Qing army.
The Qing army couldn't stand it anymore and fled one after another. Nigari was killed by the dynasty's first line.
To curb Bilong, Pengchun led the remaining troops to retreat into the city and defend the wall under the cover of artillery fire.
Taking advantage of the situation, the Ming army successfully scaled the south gate of the city and attacked along the city wall, occupying two walls at Youshi.
Seeing that his side had broken through, Yang Huairing moved his flag forward, and the entire army pressed on the southern city wall.
The sound of the war drums stopped, Pengchun died in battle, and Yi Bilong was captured.
??
When Tong Yangjia was an official in the Qing court, he had a very good relationship with Yi Bilong. When he saw him being captured, he begged Yang Huai for mercy.
The dignified governor begged for mercy, and Marshal Yang naturally wanted to give him face, so he asked Tong Yangjia to persuade Ye Bilong to surrender.
"Brother, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is like a broken ship that is about to sink. You are a wise man, why should you sink with it?" Tong Yangjia advised.
Ye Bilong sighed: "It's rare for a good brother to miss my old love and want to have a child with me. Even if I die, I will never forget this love. However, I have been deeply favored and I will never dare to bend my knees to survive and insult the dignity of the Qing Emperor. Please kill me quickly, otherwise
, will commit suicide."
Tong Yangjia was unable to do anything, so he returned to Yang Huai.
Yang Huai advised Tong Yangjia: "Your Majesty has always been very kind to senior officials in the imperial court who refused to surrender. Why did you let your friend suffer the punishment of being cut into pieces with a thousand cuts? It is better to kill him and bury him in order to honor his integrity."<
/p>
Then he will be cut off and buried with a grand ceremony.

The winner has the right to do whatever he wants.
Marshal Yang loved traveling most in his life. After capturing the Manchu Xingjinghetuala, he became very interested and traveled around the city.
We visited various places such as Jiangtai, Grand Campus, Prince Consort's Mansion, Eight Banners Yamen, Guandi Temple, Chenghuang Temple, Qiyun Academy, Confucian Temple, etc.
On this day, I broke into the Khan Palace Yamen where Nurhaci governed the country.
I saw the Khan Palace, with a strange layout and an octagonal shape. There is a deep pool on the west side, with a wide surface and quiet water, the fragrance of lotus overflows, and the pool is full of golden carps; on the east side, there is a clear pool of water under the steep slope. West Pool, East
The scenery of the pool is lovely.
A demoted official who served as his guide explained flatteringly: "Commander, the yamen of the Khan Palace is like a dragon's head, with two clear waters reflecting it on the left and right, just like the eyes of a dragon, so it is called the "two eyes of the dragon".
"What? Shenlong's two eyes?"
When Yang Huai heard this, he became angry, "Only my great emperor is a real dragon, and the Tatars are worthy of being called dragons? They are just small insects at best. Come on, drain all the water in these pools and raze them to the ground.
Let the Tartar bugs be blind!"
After doing this, Marshal Yang felt refreshed and wrote a poem on the tiger-skin chair where Nurhaci had sat:
"Laughing Old Slave"
Entering Hetu singing loudly,
Humanity says this is the capital of the Khan.
The fierce and stubborn old man used swords and weapons,
There are still souls crying to this day.
Bannermen have horses to enclose the land,
The Han people have no plans to enjoy Qiao Su.
Where is the powerful Eight Banners team today?
The old slave laughed on the tiger-skin chair.
