Chapter 905

"Supervisor Lu, the morale of the army is available." Man Gui said admirably. Lu Xiangsheng is worthy of being a well-read person. If he had said that, he would not be able to express these words of motivating morale. Chen Jisheng, Cao Wenzhao and others also agreed in unison, especially Chen Jisheng, who is a native of Liaodong. He has experienced many of the tragic things that Lu Xiangsheng had just said. Now he has the opportunity to revenge the people of Liaodong who died at the hands of Jiannu.

"I ordered officers at all levels to restrain their subordinates and arrange their military affairs. Three days later, the army set out immediately." Lu Xiangsheng immediately issued an order, and Man Gui, Chen Jisheng, Cao Wenzhao and others took the order to arrange it.

Three days later, Chen Jisheng, who was the vanguard, led the army out of the city. Behind him were Lu Xiangsheng and Man Gui who were commanding the central army. Cao Wenzhao led the rear of the Jingying Palace. A total of 100,000 mighty and majestic army was divided into several routes. The people along the way crossed the road to bid farewell, hoping that this army could avenge their relatives as soon as possible, help them regain their land, and return with great victory as soon as possible.

Chen Jisheng was full of hope to meet the main force of Jiannu and defeat him soon, but reality disappointed him. The cities along Ningyuan to Chenyang seemed to have been abandoned by Huang Taiji, which made him a little anxious. You must know that Yu Zigao's navy had already arrived at Pi Island. It was much more convenient for them to transport soldiers by sea boats than walking. If they were to capture Shengjing first, they would be depressed.

Fortunately, as the army deepened, there were finally traces of Jiannu in the city walls along the way. It turned out that the Eight Banners soldiers in the city walls had been hit here before, trying to join forces to block the Ming vanguard's footsteps. They kept using small groups of cavalry to harass the Ming army and burn their food and grass. Unfortunately, Chen Jisheng was prepared for this, but if the Jurchen cavalry appeared, they could not get close to the Ming army's brigade at all.

To easily resolve the harassment of these racers, Chen Jisheng led his army to the front of Jiannu's siege. Dorgon, who was stationed here, had more than 20,000 troops under his command, which was similar to the soldiers under Chen Jisheng. However, in terms of real combat power, these Jiannu were probably far from that.

Huang Taiji finally failed to convince the powerful people of the Eight Banners, and decisively gave up Shengjing City and retreated to the white mountains and black waters. These people were used to a comfortable life. It was impossible to let them go back to the deep mountains and forests to fish and hunt, and put down silk and satin to wrap their bodies in pig skin. They stubbornly believed that the previous two failures were because the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally led the army, but this time they led the defeated generals such as Man Gui and Chen Jisheng. With the courage of the Eight Banners soldiers, they might have fought with them.

The previous successive failures gradually reduced Huang Taiji's prestige, and he could not convince these people to act according to his orders, so he knew to make preparations. On the one hand, he sent Dorgon and other powerful troops who were in charge of the battle to block the Ming army's edge. On the other hand, he also preserved some strength to Yue Tuo, who was trusted by him. If something was wrong in the future, Yue Tuo would take these people to escape immediately, striving to preserve some vitality for the Jurchens.

"Khan, I'd better stay in Shengjing to lead the army to block the Ming army. You should take people north." Yue Tuo begged Huang Taiji to take back his life. In his opinion, he might not be able to complete this difficult task.

"If I escape, who would be willing to stay in Shengjing to block the Ming army?" Huang Taiji asked back, but there was a glimmer of life and he was unwilling to stay in Shengjing and wait for death. However, those short-sighted guys forced him to stay. He stopped Yue Tuo's words about to say, "You can take Bumubutai and Ye Bushu, Shuosai, and so on."

So far, Huang Taiji has five sons, the eldest son Haoge has died under the Ming army. The second son Luoge and the third son Luobo died young. Now there are only five-year-old Ye Bushu and three-year-old Shuosai. As for Fulin, who invaded the capital in later generations, has not been born yet; sending them away can be regarded as saving a trace of blood for him. Bumubutai will raise them to grow up. Huang Taiji knows that Bumubutai is quite strategic and believes that she has the ability to save the lives of these two children.

"My servant follows the order. Even if he sacrifices his life, he will keep the safety of the two little belles." Yuetuo had nothing to say. Gong Jingjing bowed and retreated, and began to prepare for the escape. Huang Taiji stayed in the palace and continued to think about ways to delay the Ming army. He no longer hoped to block the Ming army in Shengjing City. If he could delay for a few more days, the greatest victory would be allowed to go far.

Unfortunately, Dorgon didn't seem to have any idea about this. He stood on the city and looked at Chen Jisheng's banner disdainfully, "It's just my defeated general under the Dajin army. Who will take his head off with me?"

As soon as this said, everyone was silenced. Dorgon was young and didn't know the depth. The generals under his command were all experienced in the battlefield. Just from the appearance of the Ming army, you can tell that this was a tough bone. No one was willing to ruin his troops. No one agreed for a moment.

Before Dorgon was angry, the Ming army under the city began to attack. All the cannons in General Chen Jisheng gathered at the city gate in the south and launched a fierce attack. The scenes of Zunhua and Liaodong were repeated again. Countless Eight Banners soldiers fell to the ground in the artillery fire. If Dorgon had not been rushed by his personal guards around him, he would have been injured in this wave of attacks.

Although Jiannu also installed cannons on the top of the city, those cannons were not on the same level as those of the Ming army. The quality of the gunners was very different. Before they could fight back a few times, they were destroyed by the artillery fire of the Ming army, and the rest of the defense facilities on the top of the city were also suffered heavy losses.

With the cover of artillery fire, the Ming army quickly broke through the defense of the city wall and attacked the city, and started a accumulated battle with Dorgon's Zhengbai Banner. They had been dispersed by artillery fire. In addition, the Ming army is now different from the past, and they have not had enough food for a long time recently. As one goes up and down, Jiannu was quickly defeated. Even Dorgon died in the chaos. The first battle of the army heading north easily won the victory.

On the sea route, Yu Zigao also directed the navy to set off from Pi Island and landed at the port closest to Shengjing. There was not much defense here. They also walked forward easily. The two soldiers and horses quickly joined under Shengjing City.
