The battle at the top of Jinzhou city continued. As the Ming army's resistance became weaker, many generals of the Later Jin Dynasty were also smiling. They all said that they could launch the general attack directly as long as they fought for another day, but what they were unwilling to admit was that the price paid by the Later Jin Dynasty was also huge.

Behind the hillside two miles away from the city, Nurhaci looked at the city with a shocking sound of killing for a long time. Dozens of Later Jin generals around them also remained silent. In twelve days, the Later Jin had been attacking fiercely for twelve days, but taking down Jinzhou City was still like an unattainable dream. Thirty thousand siege troops composed of Baoyi and auxiliary soldiers had been killed and injured, but the Ming army on the city was still resisting tenaciously.

A general with a suspender tied on his arm knelt in front of Nurhaci and cried: "Shank you, those coated slaves and auxiliary soldiers are now killed or injured, with less than 5,000 people left. Even the remaining ones are mostly injured. You can just let them take them down."

Nurhaci looked at Tong Yangxing who was kneeling on the ground begging for a long time and did not say anything. Manguertai, who had been in the supervision team for twelve days, had already killed at least hundreds of defeated soldiers, and his eyes were red. He said coldly: "Tong Yangxing, don't forget that those auxiliary soldiers and Baoyi are just slaves of our Great Jin Kingdom. These wastes have been fighting for twelve days and cannot even take over Jinzhou City. Instead of keeping them to waste food, it is better to let them die with Minggou, which will have some value."

Huang Taiji, who was standing on the left of Nurhaci, glanced at Manguertai. He was really brainless. Can he say such things casually? You can do some things, but you can't say them. Once you say them, it will offend people.

As expected, as soon as Mangourtai said, all the Han officials present changed slightly. Although they only dared to be angry but not speak out due to the situation, no one knew what they were thinking.

However, except for Huang Taiji, several people had this kind of worry. In their opinion, what Manguertai said was nothing wrong. The success of the Ming war over the years made them feel that all the Ming people were cowardly. Such people were born enslaved by them.

The siege was cruel. After twelve days, 30,000 siege troops composed of auxiliary soldiers and coats were left with less than 5,000 remaining soldiers. Even the Jurchens themselves were frightened to see such a cruel battle loss rate, but at the same time they were grateful that because the dead were not them, they would not feel distressed or care.

But now the problem is that the auxiliary soldiers and Baoyi are almost dead. Who will let them go next? Everyone looked at Nurhaci.

Nurhaci's expression was still cold. For him, the lives of Han people were not much better than livestock. Even if they died, he would not feel any distress. He said to Tong Yangxing, who was kneeling on the ground with an emotionless voice: "Tong Yangxing, you will continue to attack the city today, and you will not have to attack the city from tomorrow."

"Sweat!" Tong Yangxing widened his eyes and wanted to speak, but then a knife was placed on his neck, and the voice of Mangourtai rang in his ear: "Tong Yangxing, if you don't want to die, lead the army to attack the city immediately, otherwise I don't mind another person taking over you."

What else could Tong Yangxing say? Feeling the coldness and sharpness coming from his neck, he knew that as long as he dared to say half a word, the knife would cut his neck in the next moment. He stood up and watched the soldiers who kept climbing up the city wall and falling down from the city.

Looking at Tong Yangxing who was crying, many Han officers and some literati who defected to the Jurchens showed sad expressions of a rabbit and a fox, but those Jurchens were all watching coldly. For them, even if there were many Han people, it was not their business.

Perhaps it was Tong Yangxing's crying that made Nurhaci, who had always been heartbroken, feel a little compassionate. He looked at Tong Yangxing and said lightly: "After today, all the Baoyi slaves and auxiliary soldiers who can survive can carry the flag. My Khan will organize them into a banner alone, which is called the Han army flag. The eight banners, which are second only to the Great Jin Dynasty, will be led by you."

"What?"

Everyone was shocked. Nurhaci actually wanted to set up a banner for the Han people alone. Is he crazy?

Many Jurchen generals looked at Nurhaci in surprise. What happened to the Khan today?

Unlike the Jurchen generals, all the Han people, including Tong Yangxing, became excited after being surprised, and then their faces were flushed with excitement. Nurhaci's words were as beautiful as a fairy sound, and their master finally began to praise them! Even Huang Taiji's eyes showed admiration. From the eyes of those Han people, it can be seen that Nurhaci's action eliminated their resentment just now. Not only that, the Han people also began to be grateful to Dajin and would work harder for Dajin in the future.

Tong Yang kowtowed to Nurhaci three times and said excitedly: "Master, don't worry, I will take down this Jinzhou City even if I am broken today."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Nurhaci's mouth: "Okay... Then I'll wait for your good news."

"Yeah!"

Tong Yangxing responded loudly, and then went there with the remaining officers under his command.

Looking at Tong Yangxing's figure who was knocking away, Manguertai showed a sarcastic smile on his face, turned his head to admire Nurhaci and said: "My father Khan is wise, but he just threw out a bone to make these servants grateful. It seems that Tong Yangxing is going to work hard today."

Nurhaci said calmly: "You must remember that although these slaves are inferior, we cannot just suppress them. Sometimes we have to give them some sweetness so that they can work hard for us better. After all, even if you raise a dog, you have to give them a bone from time to time."

Mangourtai laughed: "Father Khan is right, but you are too proud of them. In the eyes of the sons, these slaves are just a shame, and they must urge them all the time. If they forget to whip down, they can solve the problem. If the whip is not good, use a steel knife. In short, they cannot give them a good face, otherwise these slaves will be arrogant!"

Nurhaci had no objection to this remark. He had a heartfelt hatred towards the Ming people. This was also the reason why he slaughtered the Han people in Liaodong after the rebellion. However, as a leader, he naturally considered much more than Mangourtai. He glanced at his reckless son with a faint slanted eyes and scolded him: "It would be fine to say this here, and you must not spread it, otherwise my Khan's whip would not recognize anyone."

Manguertai smiled and knelt down on one knee and beat him: "Don't worry, Father Khan, I remember it." But looking at his appearance, everyone knew that he would not listen to what he said just now.

Nurhaci squinted his eyes and looked at the war rekindled in the distance, and said, "From the battle situation these days, Yang Feng is still nine times but hasn't come back yet. It's such a pity. If Yang Feng were here, I could see with my own eyes the Jiangning Army that can make us defeated repeatedly."

Thinking of this, a strange feeling suddenly surged in Nurhaci's heart. He turned around and shouted: "Wei Qi!"

"Slave is here!" A thin middle-aged man strode over and knelt down at Nurhaci: "Slave Wei Qi kowtowed to the great khan!"

Nurhaci asked, "Wei Qi, you are Jialaezhen from my Zhenghuang Banner's sentry camp. What are the abnormalities around me recently?"

Wei Qi said respectfully: "Report to the Khan, I am about to report this to you. Yesterday, our army sent a sentry to the west and south to the wards, but never came back. I suspect something might have happened there, so I sent a team of sentry to investigate this morning. I believe that news will come soon."

"Have you come back from the ward?"

Nurhaci's face immediately sank. What is the most important thing about the war between the two armies? There is no doubt that it is intelligence. Many times, the role of intelligence is even above the commander. Without intelligence, the commander will become deaf and blind.

"Wei Qi, the sentry sent out yesterday has not come back today. Why don't you report to Ben Khan?"

Wei Qi quickly knelt down: "Khan, it's not that the slave infantry does not report to you, but that our post-snooping is sent far away. According to the convention, it will only report to you after losing contact after the post-snooping has been lost for three hours, so the slave dare not disturb you without authorization."

"Hmph!" Nurhaci snorted lightly and stopped talking. Wei Qi's words naturally made sense. I think Nurhaci, as the commander of the entire army, had many things to be busy every day. If he had to report to him even a few wardens that didn't come back on time, he would not be able to do it even if he was exhausted.

Huang Taiji felt a sudden slap in his heart when he heard this. He stepped forward and bowed and said, "Father Khan, something must have happened if he failed to come back on time. My son and I think it would be useless to just send a siege to go there. He should send a team of troops to search and advance. If he encounters a siege of Ming troops, he will have enough troops to deal with it."

"Big Ming Army?"

Nurhaci's expression became solemn. This time, the army dispatched 80,000 troops. The Ming army in Liaodong was not as good as the castle. Where did the Ming army come from this generation? Could it be?

"You mean, Jiangning Army?"

“That’s right!”

Huang Taiji said cautiously: "Forget it, the Jiangning Army has been in the Korqin Tribe for four or five months. If the energy is getting warmer today, they should be back. Now we are in a hurry to attack Jinzhou. If the Jiangning Army suddenly appears, the child is worried that something will happen."

Nurhaci looked at him for a while before saying, "That's just your guess."

"But there is indeed such a possibility." Huang Taiji hurriedly said: "Father Khan, no caution is excessive except for the army to fight. If the post-snooping was not back on time, maybe he would encounter the Jiangning army!"

Seeing Huang Taiji as if he was facing a great enemy, many of the Later Jin generals around him showed disapproval on their faces. Since he failed to seek marriage in the Korqin tribe, Huang Taiji has been alert to the Jiangning Army to the point of being a slasher. Not only did he ask Dai Shan and Amin many times for all the details of the last battle in Jinzhou, but he was also interested in anything about the Jiangning Army. Now he is confident that the Jiangning Army may appear. Is this guy's suspicion too serious?

Nurhaci touched the beard under his jaw, thought for a while before saying, "The news about Yang Feng has been heard from the Ming Dynasty during this period. This person is said to be from a Nanyang merchant. By chance, he bribed the eunuch Cao Dazhong, the governor of Nanjing, and became the Qianhu House of Qianhu House. Then he clashed with the Duke of Wei who was guarding Nanjing. He then climbed to the throne of the commander step by step. A few days ago, he was named the general of Nanjing by their emperor. In short, this is indeed an interesting guy. If he had the chance, I would really want to capture him and meet this person."

Seeing Nurhaci say this, Huang Taiji's eyes showed a happy expression. He quickly said, "Father Khan, my son-in-law is willing to lead the five thousand troops of his headquarters to explore the southwest. I hope my father Khan will be right!"

"Five thousand men?" Mangourtai was unhappy and blurted out: "Since he is so afraid of death, why don't he go over? It would be better to just send someone to stay here by himself."

"You!" Huang Taiji's face flashed with redness, and a look of shame and anger appeared in his eyes, but he quickly returned to peace. He said to Nurha Celestial: "Father Khan, Erchen is not afraid of death, but to be cautious, it is obvious to all. Moreover, their firearms are extremely sharp. If they really encounter the Jiangning Army, there is no enough cavalry to pose a threat to them, so Erchen said so."

"After saying that, aren't you afraid of death!" Manguertai muttered, but although his voice was not loud, it was enough for everyone around him to hear it.

"Oh well!"

Nurhaci finally agreed, "You will lead the 5,000 cavalry king of Zhengbai Banner to the south. I hope you can find something, but if you encounter Jiangning Army, do you know what to do?"

"I know." A trace of resentment flashed in Huang Taiji's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I will not act rashly. The biggest weakness of the Jiangning Army is the lack of cavalry. At that time, I will lead the cavalry to waste him to death."

"Well, that's right." Nurhaci nodded with satisfaction, "Benbang Khan was worried that you would be blinded by hatred, but now it seems that Benbang Khan is worried for nothing, so you can go."

"My son understand!"

As soon as Huang Taiji bowed and wanted to say goodbye, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from afar. Looking along the sound of horse hooves, more than a dozen whistle-seeing men were desperately rushing toward here.

Soon the dozen people rushed to the front of the formation and knelt down and shouted loudly: "King, the Ming army...a large group of Ming army is coming!"

"What?"

"Big Ming Army?"

The lieutenant general was all uproar, and Nurhaci was the most calm. He asked calmly: "Which Ming army, have you seen clearly?"
