A burst of ecstasy surged from the hearts of Azig and Duduo. They had suffered huge losses from the Ming army's firearms, and they were afraid from the bottom of their hearts that they would be attacked by firearms again.
If it rains now, wouldn't it have a great impact on the Ming army's firearms? They are both sure of this. As long as it can destroy the Ming army's firearms, even if you don't have a horse, walk on your feet, and don't have a bow, you can do it alone.
He was also full of confidence when he faced the Ming army again with his sword.
Who allowed the Ming army to run arrogantly at the head of Liaoyang City with only a few men and horses? Even if they were flooded with a sea of people, they could be drowned.
The two of them looked outside the city, as if there was no movement from the Ming army. Then they looked at each other again, and suddenly they both said in unison: "Go to battle!"
God gave Dai Jin such a good opportunity, how could these two slave chiefs let it go?
Therefore, the two of them no longer waited at the top of the city. They asked their guards to quickly send orders to assemble the army for battle, and then hurried down to the city tower.
The captives in the city, whether they were Duduo's men or Azig's men, were extremely happy. As soon as they heard the military order, they quickly formed the team, mounted their horses, and lined up on the street where the city gate was located.
The mounts of Duduo and Azig were right at the city gate. They wanted to compete with each other and both moved very quickly.
They got on their horses almost at the same time, and then looked at each other again. Duduo urged his horse and shouted loudly at the same time: "Open the city gate!"
Jianlu, who was guarding the gate, had already seen this movement and knew that the army was about to rush out, so he was well prepared. As soon as Duduo called out, they started to open the city gate.
But when they had just opened the door halfway, Azig suddenly shouted loudly behind Dodo: "You can't open it, close the city gate quickly."
Jianlu who opened the door was startled after hearing this. One Heshuo Beile said to open the city gate, and the other Heshuo Beile said that the city gate should not be opened. Who should listen to it? They had no choice but to stop there and wait for the two Heshuo Beile to agree on their own opinions.
.
After Duduo heard what Azig said, he stopped his horse angrily, then turned his head and looked over and said, "Why, are you scared again?"
Azig did not refute him this time, he just pointed to the sky with his hand.
Duduo was stunned, and looked up to the sky following Azig's hand. He was stunned for a while, and suddenly cursed: "God, you are playing tricks on me!"
It turns out that the rain fell a few drops, but stopped falling again.
"Master Beile, can the city gate be opened yet?" the little leader responsible for guarding the gate asked for instructions from the side.
"Why should you open it? The rain has stopped!" When Duduo heard this, he opened his mouth and cursed.
Azig did not lose his temper. He said with hope: "It may have just rained a little bit. The real heavy rain will come soon. Let's wait a little longer!"
Duduo looked up at the black night sky again. He couldn't tell whether it was going to rain or not. But people always think on the bright side, so Duduo nodded and said: "Yes, I'll be sure in a while."
It will rain heavily.”
Therefore, Azig and Duduo's troops were all on horseback and on standby. As soon as it rained heavily again, they were ready to rush out of the city to fight with the Ming army.
Time passed slowly, and the long-awaited rain did not fall. Both Azig's and Duduo's troops had not eaten for a long time. They had fought another battle during the day, and their stomachs were already very hungry.
But their two masters were waiting for the rain, and no further military orders were passed down. They had no choice but to endure the feeling of hunger and exhaustion, secretly praying in their hearts that it would rain soon, so that the battle would end early so that they could eat.
rest.
But God, I was joking with Jianlu, it just didn’t rain. Duduo and Azig were waiting, thinking that it would start raining if they waited a little longer, and the later the rain came, the heavier it would be.
.
With such wishful thinking, they waited for about an hour, but it still didn't rain. This made the two slave chiefs unable to calm down.
Duduo first raised his head and looked at the dark sky and cursed: "You thief, if you are going to get down, please stop playing with me!"
"I'm tired and hungry. If I wait any longer, I'll be beaten to death by this thief." Azig was also full of complaints. He couldn't wait any longer, so he turned over and dismounted.
He dismounted, and the war horse snorted twice with obvious joy, finally freed.
Azig raised his head and said to Dodo: "You wait here, I won't play anymore. I'm too tired after a long day's journey."
After speaking, he ordered his men to eat and rest.
Duduo looked at Azig's back and shouted loudly: "Why do you make me wait? I have been traveling for a whole day and fought a fight. I am not more tired than you? If you don't wait, I will wait."
Already?"
After finishing speaking, he also got off his horse and asked his men to eat and rest.
None of them were interested in going to the city to watch the Ming army's movements, so they walked away. The Jianlu under them also patted their butts and went back to rest as ordered.
As for the Ming army outside the city, they will naturally wait until tomorrow. This farce is over.
But no matter what, Duduo and Azig sent messengers to Huang Taiji overnight to report the news.
Huang Taiji was anxious. Although he led the army and wanted to return as soon as possible, he was harassed by Ning Jinming's army and could not increase his speed at all.
The main reason is that the artillery that he regards as his life moves too slowly, and he is reluctant to abandon it, so he cannot rush away quickly. Another reason is that he has sent eight thousand elites to rush ahead.
In his mind, he felt that it was almost time to deal with the Ming army. The main purpose of his return was to stabilize the morale of the army and to deal with the aftermath of Shengjing's defeat.
Huang Taiji thought about suddenly returning to the army to deal with the chasing Ming cavalry, but every time he tried to do so, the Ming troops escaped very quickly.
It can be seen that the first priority of the Ming army following behind is to protect themselves. Following the Dajin army, they only want to take advantage if they can, and if they can't, they will take it.
As of yesterday, they had penetrated deep into the territory of Dajin, and those Ming troops no longer dared to follow. So far, there is no trace of Ning Jin's Ming troops in the rear.
But Huang Taiji still couldn't feel at ease. He had just received a messenger from Azig and learned that there was a small Ming army in Liaoyang that was harming Daijin's grain. There were about 40,000 to 50,000 Ming troops who had fled to Liaoyang.
Dandong region.
After hearing the report, Huang Taiji just waved his hand and told the messenger to go down and rest. He himself was not frightened by the news, because anyone with a little bit of intelligence would know that the Ming army definitely did not have 40,000 or 50,000 people.
The Lai Ming Army even sent gatekeepers and toilet cleaners to Liaodong, so there probably wouldn't be that many of them. Huang Taiji was sure of this.
Huang Taiji thought about it for a moment and realized what was going on. Among the forty or fifty thousand people, most of them were probably Han Chinese who had been rescued by them. As for why his subordinates reported that there were four or five people
As many as ten thousand, he did not suspect that his men deliberately deceived him, because they did not dare. The warehouse where the Ming army equipment was seized was arranged by Huang Taiji. He just thought about it, and naturally it became clear.
What is before him now is another choice. He has to make a decision on the next step of action.
