Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 377
I saw that to the west of Pyongyang City, countless Jianlu infantry troops were driving towards Pyongyang City.The Jianlu people here rushed over to greet him.

It didn't take long to see the newly-appeared Jianlu infantry with an emperor's guard of honor. Needless to say, Jianlu Huang Taiji personally led the army.

Seeing this scene, even Lu Xiangsheng was very surprised.He didn't expect that for a small city of Pyongyang, even the puppet emperor would come here in person. This shows how much he attaches importance to the Dongjiang Army!
On the top of the city, all the defenders silently watched the arrival of the Jianlu army outside the city.I have to say that the number of Jianlu troops is really shocking!
No matter who he is, if he sees the number of prisoners outside the city, there must be at least 8 people, right?And it was broad daylight, everything was visible to the naked eye, there was no bluff, the fake situation of multiple people was completely real!

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Outside the city, [-] to [-] Jian captives shouted in unison, and the sound was so loud that even the rats in the rat holes in Pyongyang City could hear them clearly.

The slave chieftain and the puppet emperor came in person, with a force of 8 to 2, but in Pyongyang, the total force was less than [-].Can such a huge strength really be blocked by the city wall of Pyongyang?

According to the common practice of military strategists, the general besieging army is about two or three times the strength of the defending army, and there is hope of defeating it.The most important thing is that the besieged army on the outskirts of the city is a strong enemy, who can cut off the reinforcements and defeat the army out of the city. In this way, the isolated city is doomed to fall.

Thinking of this, the defenders in Pyongyang had extremely ugly expressions on their faces.Not to mention the death of the Korean army, even the faces of many Ming soldiers were ugly.

Lu Xiangsheng quickly came to his senses, and immediately inspected the whole city, and at the same time passed down an order, telling all the guards and soldiers of the city: "A few days ago, in the battle, our army had already scared the Jian captives. The main force of the barbarians, come to besiege Pyongyang! The emperor once said that the Jian barbarians are paper tigers, and now everyone has seen that, with a mere [-] troops, we have brought out the main force of the Jian barbarians!"

"This official has long expected that the main force of Jianlu will be attracted by our army, so he has sent people back to the capital to report the news. With the emperor's wisdom and martial arts, he will definitely support our army from the direction of Guanning. As you can imagine, the main force of Jianlu All of them were attracted by our army. The hinterland of Liaodong was empty of troops. The most elite Guanning Army of Ming Dynasty entered the hinterland of Liaodong from the Ningjin line. Jianlu’s lair is in danger. As long as we hold on for a few days, the Jianlu outside the city must be panicked. Withdraw!"

"As for the situation of the Jianlu, the Guan Ning Army and our Dongjiang Army flanked the Jianlu from the left and the right, and let the Jianlu run back and forth. The emperor once said that within five years, Liaodong will definitely be restored."

"The achievement of recovering Liaodong was overtaken by everyone! This official and all the soldiers defended the city of Pyongyang in order to attract the main force of the Jianlu army here and create opportunities for the Guanning army. The merit of this first battle can be They all belong to our Dongjiang Army!"

"..."

Hearing these words of Lu Xiangsheng, the soldiers of the Ming army were the first to cheer up.

Most of them were long-standing thieves captured by Emperor Chongzhen in the First World War in Nanyang, and they voluntarily came to Liaodong to fight Jian captives.It can be said that when they made the decision, they were already prepared to die in battle.After all, when they made the decision, Jianlu was extremely powerful in their understanding, but they still made this decision.With such awareness, one is not afraid of death in itself.

It is also human nature that the Jianlu army in front of them is so powerful that it shocks them.However, when they heard Lu Xiangsheng's words, they came to their senses, and Jianlu's impact on them was minimized.

They had personal experience with Emperor Chongzhen. In the Battle of Nanyang, Emperor Chongzhen personally led the army and killed him at the most critical moment.It can be said that the emperor's ability to command and fight is also very powerful.What's more, when they marched all the way to Shandong later, they heard about the emperor's miraculous plan to annihilate the Hetao Tartars in one fell swoop.

Most of them are old thieves from Shaanxi, and of course they know the Hetao Tartars very well.Therefore, the emperor was able to annihilate rather than defeat the Hetao Tartars, which shocked them deeply.

There is also the act of Emperor Chongzhen who cared about the people, and all kinds of behaviors left a deep impression on their hearts.It can be said that Emperor Chongzhen's wisdom and martial arts have won their trust.

At this moment, when they heard Lu Xiangsheng's logical analysis, let alone, they all cheered up.Now that the main force of Jianlu has been attracted, the Liaodong side has created an opportunity for the Guanning Army, and I don’t know what they will do. Jianlu should have never suffered a big loss. This time, it must be It's a big loss.And this credit, the first credit must belong to the Dongjiang Army that attracted the main force of Jianlu!

Once these factors were added up, the soldiers of the Ming army relaxed one by one, and they didn't care much about the army of prisoners outside the city.This expression of theirs invisibly infected the North Korean soldiers.

With Lu Xiangsheng, a big Ming border official like Lu Xiangsheng, guarding the city together, and the optimism of the Ming army soldiers, these North Korean soldiers thought that they would die, and these nobles were not afraid, but they were afraid of a ball!
More importantly, as the commander-in-chief, after Lu Xiangsheng took command of the Pyongyang defenders, he treated both the Ming army and the North Korean soldiers equally, allowing the North Korean soldiers to experience how Lu Xiangsheng loved his soldiers as his sons.This situation also played a crucial role in the return of North Korean soldiers.

As for the Jianlu army outside the city, Huang Taiji obviously didn't know this, seeing the Qing army kneeling all over the ground, he smiled complacently.

After rushing all the way, at least there were no accidents. Lu Xiangsheng and his Dongjiang army were still blocked in Pyongyang.Now that he has led the main force to arrive, the fate of Lu Xiangsheng and his Dongjiang army is already doomed.The confidant's serious trouble can finally be removed!
The infantry on his side was also marching in a hurry. Now, in his opinion, the overall situation was settled, so he was no longer in such a hurry. He immediately issued an order to let the whole army rest.And he himself, after listening to the reports of Yuetuo, Duoduo and others, also inspected the grain and grass supplies that this vanguard force had looted in North Korea, and he was very satisfied, so he led people to watch the Pyongyang city defense.

On the top of the city of Pyongyang, the flags of the Ming army and the Korean army were fluttering, and the soldiers were stationed at the top of the city in an orderly manner, doing what they should do, and did not see any abnormal situation, which made Huang Taiji a little surprised .

Logically speaking, the siege of an isolated city by a large army is definitely a very big shock to the defenders.Especially when the army first arrived, all kinds of abnormalities and tensions on the top of the city should be the most common things.

Huang Taiji fought in Liaodong throughout his life and besieged countless cities, so he had rich experience.

However, he did not expect that Pyongyang City was an exception!

Regarding this, he immediately named Yue Tuo and asked, "Did reinforcements come to Pyongyang City?"

According to Yue Tuo's previous statement, the number of defenders in Pyongyang is about [-].With just such a small number of people, seeing several times the Qing army coming to besiege the city, you will definitely panic, right?
Yue Tuo understood why Huang Taiji would ask such a question, and he quickly replied: "Your Majesty, as far as I can see, the Ming army transported people from Pyongyang to the sea, and they were mainly old and weak, and did not see any reinforcements! "

Fan Wencheng, who was also wearing armor beside him, looked dignified and majestic. Hearing this, he couldn't help interrupting to remind: "Could it be that the Ming army is hiding in the cabin for reinforcements, and the old and weak on the deck are just a cover?"

Hearing this, Huang Taiji was about to nod his head, but Yue Tuo was not happy. He turned his head to look at Fan Wencheng, and shouted coldly: "Ming army navy warships all left from Pyongyang, and none of them left Pyongyang. The ship returned to Pyongyang from the sea. And now that the Taedong River has been cut off, if the Ming army navy warship wants to return to Pyongyang, it is still a dream, you know?"

When Fan Wencheng heard this, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to say anything.

This time, he made a bit of a mistake.When he saw the calmness of the defenders at the top of Pyongyang City, to be honest, he agreed with Huang Taiji's guess, and felt that reinforcements must have come to Pyongyang City. What is the virtue of the North Koreans, is there anything they are not afraid of?
In his opinion, there must be enough defenders in the city, so even the North Koreans are not afraid.In order to echo Huang Taiji's statement, he accidentally exposed his lack of understanding of the Navy.

Huang Taiji was also a little surprised when he heard it, and immediately asked in detail about the situation of the Ming Dynasty Navy and the response of the Qing Dynasty. He felt that it was not safe, so he transported all the artillery he brought to the Datong River In narrow places, it must be done so that the navy of the Ming Dynasty is not allowed to pass.If it is possible, it is best to block the river with iron cables, which will be foolproof.

However, it will take time to do these things, but Huang Taiji is not short of time, and let the people below do it.

Then, Huang Taiji turned his head and looked at the top of Pyongyang City, staring at the big flag with the word "Lu" fluttering in the wind. He had to admit that the fact that Pyongyang City was like this must have a lot to do with the coach.

This Lu Xiangsheng is a capable person, not comparable to those Ming army commanders I have met before, this person must be eliminated!

Thinking of this, he sent someone, holding a white flag, close to the city wall, and shouted loudly to the top of the city: "Now I am in the Qing Dynasty, and a hundred thousand troops are besieging the city, and Pyongyang is just around the corner. The emperor is kind, let you wait!" Open the door and surrender to avoid death. Otherwise, the city will be slaughtered the day the city is broken!"

"Little Jianlu, come and attack the city if you have the ability. I have an army of 20, waiting for you to attack in the city. Our big swords are already hungry and thirsty!" Li Laiheng happened to be guarding this area of ​​the city. , immediately responded with a sneer.

If you want to talk about bragging, who wouldn't!
Recalcitrant!Jianlu, who was holding a white flag, came to a conclusion in his heart and had no choice but to repay Huang Taiji.

After hearing this, Huang Taiji couldn't help frowning.Of course he wouldn't believe Li Laiheng's bragging.However, from Li Laiheng's words, he also clearly found that the morale of the Ming army was very high.If not, there is no way to say such a thing.

It seems that Lu Xiangsheng is really good at commanding troops, he is a talent!If it can be used by the Qing Dynasty, that would be great!
As far as the end of the Ming Dynasty was concerned, Huang Taiji was indeed the kind of monarch who was thirsty for talents, and the famous King Sanshun was conferred by him.Later facts proved that King Sanshun also made great contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, Huang Taiji thought about this, and turned to Fan Wencheng and said, "Fan Qing should know the Han people best, why don't you go and recruit this Lu Xiangsheng for me, as long as he is willing to surrender, I can make him the Qing Dynasty." A king with a different surname will never break his promise!"

Hearing this, Fan Wencheng couldn't help but feel extremely bitter in his heart.I thought to myself, Your Majesty, this slave is so loyal and capable of both literature and martial arts. Why didn't you think of making this slave a king with a different surname?
Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi, the dead ghost, were all crowned kings by you. Now, you want Lu Xiang in Fengcheng to be promoted to a king with a different surname. You...why don't you consider me, a loyal slave? ?
Of course, even with Fan Wencheng's courage, he would not dare to tell Huang Taiji what was in his heart.At this time, Huang Taiji had already spoken, so he could only accept it, and after a promise, he held a white flag and headed for Pyongyang City.

Hearing that Lu Xiang has great lift and is a sharpshooter, Fan Wencheng didn't dare to get too close, and shouted loudly to the top of the city: "Governor Lu, please speak!"

A person's appearance is still quite important.This Fan Wencheng has a great advantage because he is born well-groomed.

Lu Xiangsheng was on the top of the wall, and when he heard what he said, he replied, "I am the official!"

Hearing the sound, Fan Wencheng looked up and found Lu Xiangsheng at a glance. Even though Lu Xiangsheng was not wearing a scarlet robe, but wearing armor, he recognized him at a glance.

So, he said: "As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses a master to serve. My emperor of the Qing Dynasty is wise and powerful, and he is an unborn monarch, while the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is fatuous and incompetent..."

After hearing this, he basically guessed the purpose of the people coming from the city. Lu Xiangsheng shouted sharply: "Shut up, you and other barbarians, how can you distinguish the Ming Emperor? How can you criticize me, the Ming Emperor..."

When Fan Wencheng heard this, he straightened his chest and said proudly, "Master Lu is wrong. I am the seventeenth grandson of Duke Fan Wenzheng. I have been familiar with history books since I was a child. How can I not be able to tell right from wrong..."

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help being stunned.The money rat tail at the bottom turned out to be the seventeenth grandson of Fan Wenzheng, who is famous in history?If it is true, this... if Fan Wenzheng's spirit in the sky knows that he has such an unworthy descendant, will the coffin be overwhelmed?

"It's a shame that you have the face to say that you are a generation who forgets your ancestors! Talking to people like you is an insult to this official!" Lu Xiangsheng immediately shouted, "Bring my bow and arrows!"

Hearing this, Fan Wencheng was startled, Lu Xiangsheng was going to shoot him!

So, he didn't dare to persuade him any more, and quickly turned his horse's head, fled in despair, and fled back to Jianlu's main camp.
