On the first day of the 7th year of the Tianqi period, Dadong Gate on the south side of Shengjing

A young general wearing yellow armor, who looked about twenty years old and had a rough face, stood on the city wall, looking at the face of the military camp for more than ten miles outside the city, with a solemn look on his face. The fiery red flags and armor in the distance showed a strange luster under the setting sun, making people unable to help but feel shocked.

Du Du, the leader of the Zhenglan Banner who was wearing blue armor next to the young general, couldn't help but say, "Brother, you'd better go down. Although the Ming army has not yet attacked the city, I heard that the Ming people have a kind of musket that can hit hundreds of steps away, and have excellent accuracy. If they noticed that you are here, it would be bad."

"Yes, brother, you'd better go down. It would be bad if the Ming army recognized it. Just have slaves here to watch." Several generals next to them also persuaded.

This young general was no one else, but Haoge, the eldest son of Huang Taiji who was ordered to stay in Shengjing.

Because Haoge looks thick and handsome, and has a beard on his face, he looks like he is only eighteen years old this year, but he looks like he is in his twenties.

Seeing the generals around him persuading him, Haoge cursed with angrily: "Look at you, are they still like my warriors of the Qing Dynasty? Before the Ming people attacked the city, you should persuade me to go down. What should I do when the Ming army really attacked the city? Do I hide under the bed? Let me tell you, if anyone dares to persuade me to go down again, I will be polite to him!"

Seeing that Haoge was angry, the generals did not dare to persuade him again. Haoge took out a Qianli Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles

After a long time, Haoge sighed and said, "Du Du, do you think the father can come in time?"

Du Du shook his head: "I don't know, but I think with the thousands of soldiers and horses in Shengjing and the high walls and deep moats of Shengjing City, the Jiangning army outside the city could not attack in a short time." After saying that, Du Du added: "It's okay to stick to it for at least half a month!"

Haoge shook his head and said, "Our Shengjing is indeed high and deep, but our staff are too few. My father went to Jinzhou to almost all his troops. At this moment, there are only 6,000 soldiers in Shengjing. If the Jiangning army comes to attack regardless of everything, our situation is indeed worrying."

Huang Taiji went to Jinzhou this time and nominally sent 80,000 troops, but this 80,000 only refers to the soldiers and horses of the Manchu Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners. In fact, including auxiliary soldiers and Baoyi, Huang Taiji sent at least 150,000 troops this time. It was precisely because of this expedition that Huang Taiji almost drained all the soldiers and horses that could fight in Shengjing. Only 6,000 Zhenglan Banners led by Du Du remained in the huge Shengjing city, which made the troops look a little stretched, which was also the reason why Haoge felt moved.

Logically speaking, as the son of Huang Taiji, Haoge is also a very famous brave general on weekdays and should not say such words of weakness. But as the saying goes, the shadow of the famous Shu, the Jiangning Army fought a battle under Jinzhou City last year, which was too cruel.

In that battle, not only did the Qing Dynasty kill more than 20,000 people, but even the Great Khan Nurhaci was seriously injured by the enemy of 10,000 people. Finally, he died with regret. This also caused the Qing Dynasty to feel a little nervous when it heard the name of Jiangning Army.

While talking, a Jiala Zhangjing next to him suddenly pointed to the front and shouted: "Brother, there is something going on in the Ming army camp."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

As Jiala Zhangjing said, a horn sounded in the distance. As the horn sounded, the originally silent Jiangning Army camp boiled like a sudden pot of water. Teams of cavalry began to speed out of the camp. After leaving the camp, the cavalry began to divide into two teams to come towards the south gate of Shengjing. Behind them were teams of soldiers wearing iron armor.

"The Jiangning Army is going to attack the city!"

Someone shouted, and the atmosphere on the city wall became tense. Many officers on the city wall began to shout the soldiers in the hidden soldiers under the city wall to come out to the city wall to prepare for battle. The archers also entered the back of the battlements, and some young and strong men also began to lift bundles of arrows onto the city wall.

Du Du said to Haoge again: "Brother, the Jiangning Army is about to attack the city. As the eldest prince, you are in danger of being in charge. Now that Your Majesty is not here, Shengjing City cannot be without you. So for the sake of the more than 200,000 Eight Banners of Shengjing City, you should go down the city wall, as long as you have ministers here."

"Yes, Brother, you should go down the city wall. Just leave it to the slave!"

"Don't worry, as long as the slave is not dead, you will never let those Ming people step onto the city wall!"

The Qing generals next to him also advised that after all, Haoge was Huang Taiji's favorite son. Not to mention his faults, even if he was rubbed by Jiangning Army artillery or lead bullets, it would be a great thing. None of them could afford to take the blame, so they would send the old man away quickly. In this way, they could fight with peace of mind.

How did Haoge not understand the intentions of these people, but he also had his own considerations. The Qing Dynasty claimed to be a country built by martial arts. As Huang Taiji's eldest son and Huang Taiji were actually in control when Huang Taiji was not around. If he left the general and stepped down from the city wall at this time, it would be safe, but his reputation for life would be completely destroyed, which was something that the proud Haoge could not tolerate.

I saw Haoge glaring at him and said in a decisive tone: "No need to say anything, we Manchu has never retreated without fighting, nor has the prince who retreated when he saw the enemy. Even if he died in battle today, I would not go down the city wall. Whoever dares to persuade me to go down the city wall today will be my Haoge's enemy!"

Seeing Haoge's firm tone, everyone knew that Haoge had decided. If anyone advised him to go down the city wall, it would be impossible to get along with Haoge.

Dudu sighed lightly and used a color to the Goshhas on the side. These Goshhas stood silently around Haoge. Their function was to act as Haoge's flesh shield. Once an arrow shot at Haoge, they would block Haoge's first time, with only one purpose, and they should never let Haoge's injured person touch it.

With the sound of golden drums, teams of Jiangning soldiers lined up and formed a typical battle formation. Ten thousand infantrymen formed a rectangular square formation, with five thousand cavalry on both sides. In front of the five thousand infantrymen, more than one hundred cannons were neatly discharged, and the black muzzles flashed with a faint cold light.
