After appeasing the Han generals, it was already very late, and Daishan was also very tired. After all, he was an old man in his fifties, and his body was not as strong as it used to be. In the past few days, he had been exhausted on how to arrange the defense of Shenyang City. Mentally and mentally, I had just been overwhelmed by the troubles caused by the women and children of the Eight Banners. I had already felt exhausted. I couldn't hold on any longer.
Daishan knew that his body was closely related to the safety of the tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers and civilians in the inner city, so he must not let his body collapse at this juncture, so he handed over the defense of the inner city to Yilin Tai, Ta Lai and the prince-in-law who came later. After Yangu Li, Sony and others, he got into the carriage with the help of his personal Goshiha and drove slowly back to his Dabeile Mansion. He had to regain his energy as soon as possible to cope with the violent storm that followed the Ming army.
In the carriage, Daishan suddenly thought of his son Balama who had gone to Liaoyang. Liaoyang had been occupied for several days, and he didn't know if he had fallen into the hands of Mang Gurtai. If his son really fell into the hands of Mang Gurtai, then Mang Gurtai uses him to threaten him, what should he do?
This question made Daishan frown tightly. He would definitely not be manipulated by Mang Gurtai for the sake of a son, let alone hand over Daikin's foundation to Mang Gurtai for the sake of a son. This would also happen We can only ask God to bless Balama to escape from Liaoyang, otherwise, we will have to sacrifice this son.
Mang Gurtai, this idiot, does he think he can get what he wants by colluding with the Ming army?
Thinking of Mang Gurtai's look at him outside the city, Daishan couldn't help but laugh. This idiot worked hard for the Ming army, but in the end, what could he get except making wedding clothes for the Ming army? Could it be that the Ming army would really help him become a great general? Jin's Khan, will he help him defeat Hong Tai's Eight Banners Army?
It's ridiculous and hateful. I'm afraid in the eyes of Mingren, Mang Gurtai is just like a chamber pot. After using it, he throws it under the bed. It's a pity that he doesn't know it, but he really works hard for Mingren. , regarded himself as a so-called "ally" who was equal to the Ming army, and even boasted that he had negotiated peace with the Ming people, and from now on, the people of Dajin could enjoy peace forever. Humph, is he out of his mind? Xianhan At that time, he begged Mingren to reach a contract, but Mingren ignored him. After Hong Tai succeeded to the throne, he also asked for peace with Mingren several times, but Mingren still ignored him. Mingren refused to make peace with him when he was at a disadvantage. Khan and Hongtai are negotiating for peace. Why do you, Mang Gurtai, make Mingren agree to negotiate with you?
Little did he know that the final outcome would definitely not be what he imagined. The Ming army really wanted to help him seize Shenyang and become the Khan of Dajin, but could they really defeat the Eight Banners army under Hong Tai?
Several groups of messengers sent to Guangning, Yizhou, Tieling, and Laozhai did not return any news. It seems that the Ming army has cut off the connection between Shenyang and the outside world, but it is not known whether the reinforcements from these places have set off.[
Counting the time, the Eight Banners of Guangning and Yizhou should have already set off to reinforce Shenyang. They are probably on the way, maybe one or two days away from Shenyang. As long as they can arrive in time, the Ming army attacking the city will be Send troops and horses to intercept them. In this way, the pressure on the inner city will be greatly reduced. As long as the main force of the Eight Banners arrives, Daishan is not afraid that this Ming army will escape back.
As for Lao Zhai, Dai Shan did not expect many reinforcements to arrive, because since Dajin established its capital in Shenyang, the only people left in Lao Zhai were old, weak, women and children, and there were not many garrison troops under the Eight Banners, which controlled Mongolia. The tribes are all far away, and they won't be able to come over for a while. The reason why Wakda was sent to Laozhai was just because he was worried that Mang Gurtai would escape there and then encourage the tribesmen in Laozhai to cause trouble with the Mongolian tribes. This was a precaution. Daishan did not have high expectations for how many soldiers and horses there would be in the old village to aid Shenyang. Unless Wakda could go into the old forest and search out a large number of unborn girls, there would be nothing he could do.
Originally, there were thousands of Han military flags in Tieling. These were all Han troops tied to the interests of Dajin. But this guy Sun Degong actually came to Shenyang on his own. What could those Han troops do if they had no one to lead them? Defending Tieling would be a good idea.
After all the calculations, we can only hope that the Eight Banners from Guangning and Yizhou will arrive first. The envoy sent to report the military situation to Hong Tai set off on the 28th of last month. No matter how fast he works, he will be delayed for several days on the way. Waiting for Hong Tai to know the news and lead the army back north, it would have to be delayed for several days. The latest battle report said that Hong Tai led the army to trade with Ma Shiying, the governor of Xuanfu of Ming Dynasty, outside Zhangjiakou. This gate is more than 2,000 miles away from Shenyang. No matter how fast the army was, It will take half a month to get back.
Daishan's most optimistic estimate is that he will have to hold on to the inner city for about ten days, otherwise he will not be able to wait for Hong Tai's main force to return.
Dai Shan has always been puzzled by the Ming army crossing the sea and landing. The Ming people were obviously doing "mutual trade" business with the Eight Banners army, but here they suddenly sent a large army to cross the sea and land. It is really confusing. What kind of calculation did that young emperor of the Ming Dynasty have?
Could it be that the "mutual market" mentioned outside the mouth is a conspiracy, the purpose is to "confuse" me, Dajin, and contain the main force of our Eight Banners, so that the Ming army coming across the sea can unexpectedly break into Shenyang City?
The more Dai Shan thought about it, the more frightened he became. If this was really the case, why didn't any news spread to the Ming Dynasty's court?
As early as when the Ming army was still on the south bank of the Hun River, Daishan had formulated a detailed plan to defend the inner city. In addition to food and grass, all defensive materials were relatively well prepared, so Sony and others only had to follow the steps and implement them honestly. Just follow the military order.
The inner city currently has more than 400 flag soldiers, 1,200 armored soldiers, and more than 2,000 unarmored flag soldiers. In addition, there are more than 2,000 Han troops brought into the inner city by Sun Degong, Zu Zerun and other Han generals, who can be used to defend the city. There are nearly 6,000 troops in the city, plus more than 3,000 Aha slaves drawn from the major Baylor mansions, with nearly 10,000 available manpower. Therefore, the Eight Banners generals do not have to worry about insufficient troops like guarding the outer city, and can ensure the city's head to the greatest extent. Guard the military.
After confirming that the Ming army would not launch an attack in the dark, Sony and other Eight Banners generals were relieved. In order to maintain their physical strength to cope with the Ming army's siege after dawn, Sony and others also took turns to rest.
That night a northeast wind suddenly blew, and the temperature was much colder than yesterday. This sudden change in weather made the Jin army on the city very happy. Everyone thought that it was going to snow. Even the Ming army thought that it was good for them. Luck is over.
However, the wind was blowing very hard, but no snowflakes fell for a long time. They disappeared in less than half an hour, which made Jin Junkong very happy.
In fact, it is snowing now, and Dayong is only worried about the inconvenience of retreating to the south, but not worried that the wind and snow will affect the Ming army's siege. What's more, people have entered the city, where will they be afraid of the wind and snow? Where is the house in the outer city of Shenyang? It cannot be requisitioned, and which house cannot be demolished and used for heating. Therefore, the Jin army thought that the snow would hinder the Ming army from attacking the inner city. It was completely wishful thinking.[
It was really cold at night. Even cotton-padded clothes could not keep warm. The sergeants on guard outside were so cold that their noses ran out. After Dayong made his inspection, he ordered the generals to take out all the fur coats they had snatched from the bannermen. For the soldiers to keep warm, they also ordered people to demolish some houses of the bannermen who fled into the inner city, and lit piles of bonfires around the inner city, which could be used for heating and lighting.
The Jin army originally intended to go out of the city to attack the Ming army, but seeing the bonfire surrounded by a circle, they gave up the idea of a sneak attack. But Dayong did not relax his vigilance. Mang Gurtai's flag soldiers and his personal barracks were hidden
In the night, he stared intently at the only gate in the inner city - Fengtian Gate.
