Chapter 380 No Casualties
If it was true that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally conquered Liaodong, the army he led would definitely be more than [-].Otherwise, even if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had the courage to come to Liaodong, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty would definitely die.

When Duo Duo thought of this, he immediately thought of Dorgon from Tashan.With such a disparity in military strength, it goes without saying that Dorgon must be in danger.If nothing happened to him, it would be absolutely impossible for Haizhou and Anshan Yibao to rush over by eight hundred miles.

So, this time, without waiting for Huang Taiji to read the memorial, he immediately asked the messenger: "How many troops have the Ming army arrived, and how is the battle going? Do you know about Prince Tashan Rui?"

Of course, Huang Taiji could also think of the situation they could think of.At this time, he was actually more certain than others that it must be the Ming army other than the Guan Ning army. Otherwise, with the Guan Ning army, even Dorgon's troops in Tashan would not be able to win.

Before, I thought it was the Haizhou defender who was exaggerating.But looking at it now, I'm afraid that instead of exaggerating, they only reported what they saw, and it was too late to deliver the letter for the subsequent arrival of the Ming army.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji was also anxious.He didn't even bother to block the news any longer, so Duoduo asked questions there casually, and opened the memorial sent by the yellow jacket as quickly as possible, and quickly read it.

Just like the memorial in Haizhou, the Jianlu of Anshan Post Fort reported to Huang Taiji that four or five thousand cavalry troops from the Ming Dynasty had arrived at the pass, and most of them carried the heads of the Qing people. Preliminary verification showed that they were the heads of the Great Qing Dynasty. The head of the Qing army.

After investigation, these Ming troops belonged to the hussars battalion under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army must have made a large-scale invasion this time. When the infantry arrives, the Ming army must carry heavy artillery. The Anshan Post Fort is in danger. Reinforcements were dispatched quickly.Otherwise, if Anshan Yibao falls, Liaoyang will be exposed to the Ming army's vision and will be directly attacked by the Ming army.

This time, after reading the memorial, Huang Taiji didn't flatten the memorial anymore.Instead, he read it again and calculated the situation in his mind. Suddenly, he was a little shocked.

I used to think that in terms of time, even if Dorgon of Tashan was defeated, the 1 Daqing army he led would definitely last for a long time.It is speculated from this point that Haizhou must have exaggerated.

However, looking at it now, this just proves that the Ming Kingdom may also use the main force of the Ming army in the country, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will lead the army personally. Absolute power can defeat Dorgon's troops in a very short period of time.Therefore, the vanguard cavalry of the Ming army carried so many Qing heads.

And damn it, at this time, he had just led the main domestic force to Pyongyang. The hinterland of Liaodong was empty of troops, and there was no mobile force to reinforce the field battle.If towns and cities in various places just defend without reinforcements, with the strength and siege capabilities of the Ming army, it is really possible to seize a Qing city in sight...

Huang Taiji thought up to this point, and immediately panicked.At this moment, he raised his head, just in time to hear the messenger reply Duoduo's words: "Currently, only four or five thousand cavalry from the Hussar Battalion of the Ming Dynasty have been found at Anshan Post Fort, all of which came from the direction of Haizhou. And most of them carried the heads of the warriors of the Qing Dynasty and threw them under the Anshan Post Castle, at least 3000. Preliminary verification shows that these are the heads of Prince Tashan Rui's troops!"

Hearing this, Duo Duo's face turned pale. There are so many heads, which is enough to show that Dorgon's troops in Tashan were defeated.

So, he immediately turned his head to look at Huang Taiji, and found that Huang Taiji was looking up at the battle in Pyongyang City.

Duo Duo didn't care about this. He was worried about Dorgon's safety, and immediately played to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, the Ming Hussars battalion appeared one after another in Haizhou and Anshan Post Castle. The army must be dispatched. Lian Ming Emperor All the imperial forest troops have come out, maybe it is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who personally marched to Liaodong, and the troops he led will definitely not be small. The hinterland of Liaodong is in danger, and we should rescue them as much as possible. I am willing to be the vanguard and rush back to Liaodong day and night!"

The other Jianlu leaders nodded after hearing this.For them, the battle of Pyongyang is not important at once.In comparison, they are of course more concerned about the safety of their old nest.If the old nest is lost, what's the use of taking down Pyongyang, and even further, it's useless even taking down the whole of North Korea!
After Duoduo finished speaking, Huang Taiji did not answer immediately, but looked at the ongoing battle of Pyongyang, a little dazed.

At this moment, Huang Taiji was very troubled.He didn't know that if Liaodong was lost, the Qing Dynasty would have no foundation.Compared with Liaodong and Pyongyang, for the Qing Dynasty, it is simply incomparable.

However, as the Qing Emperor, he had to consider everything.They have worked hard to arrange the battle of Pyongyang, and now the war has begun. If they withdraw their troops at this time, all their efforts will be in vain, and the Dongjiang Army will continue to become a thorn in the side of the Qing Dynasty. Next time, Lu Xiangsheng and the Qing Dynasty will be tempted to fight head-on. It's definitely not an easy thing.

Thinking about these things, and seeing the fierce battle in Pyongyang going on, Huang Taiji couldn't help but start to reflect on whether he was scaring himself a little bit just now.Subconsciously, he began to find reasons to convince himself that the Liaodong side was not that critical, and it was enough to wait until the Pyongyang War was over before returning to Liaodong to solve the Liaodong side's affairs.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally conquered Liaodong. Now that Liaodong is in danger, please return to the army to rescue him!" Duduo saw that Huang Taiji was silent, so he immediately asked again, "My brother is willing to be the vanguard and rush back to Liaodong day and night. Delay the main force of the Ming army and drag the Emperor of Ming in Liaodong, and when His Majesty's main force arrives, destroy the Emperor of Ming in one fell swoop!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty marched to Liaodong by himself. He must have a strong force and a menacing attack. We must guard against it, and we should pay attention to it!" Yue Tuo also echoed.

"..."

Hearing the chattering voices, Huang Taiji came back to his senses. He was unwilling to withdraw the army at this time, so he said to Duo Duo: "Is the might of the Qing army just a waste of fame? Just rely on the emperor of the Ming Dynasty." He dared to conquer Liaodong by himself? Even if he dared to conquer by himself, would his subjects agree? It’s not that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had never been captured before, so they were not afraid of that Chongzhen child, and followed in the footsteps of their ancestors, being captured by my Qing Dynasty?”

Speaking of this, he saw that Doduo seemed a little unconvinced, and wanted to say more, so he further emphasized: "Furthermore, you know that the main force of Zhenling is in North Korea, but how did the emperor of Ming know? Even if someone tipped off the news, But in terms of time, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom did not have time to react. In this case, for the Ming Dynasty, they did not know that the main force of the Qing Dynasty was conquering North Korea. How dare the Ming Dynasty dare to send troops directly to fight against Liaodong? Could it be that they didn't learn enough from the previous battle of Saerhu, so they want to do it again?"

After these words were spoken, the leaders of Jianlu couldn't help being silent. They had to admit that what Huang Taiji said made sense.

Huang Taiji himself became more confident as he talked, so he continued to say loudly: "Furthermore, how many elites from the Ming Kingdom can compete with my Qing army? I also sent Ji Erhalang and others People commanded the tribes of the Mongolian grasslands and attacked the long border of the Ming Kingdom, so where can the Ming Kingdom send troops to Liaodong?"

These Jianlu leaders were all relieved by Huang Taiji's explanation. All these reasons are reasonable. From a logical point of view, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to personally conquer.Since it wasn't the emperor of the Ming Dynasty's imperial conquest, the force must be limited.It is more of an accident that there will be cavalry troops of the Ming Dynasty in Haizhou and Anshan Yibao, and the defeat of the Qing army in Tashan.

In addition to Doduo who was worried about Dorgon and wanted to fight for it again, the other leaders of Jianlu turned their heads to look at the battle of Pyongyang again.As long as Liaodong is not too dangerous, after destroying Pyongyang and then returning to Liaodong, it is only a delay of one day, or two days, which is also acceptable.

Huang Taiji also noticed Duoduo's appearance, so he said firmly: "In this battle, the nail of the Dongjiang Army must be pulled out, and Lu Xiangsheng must be killed. In this way, our Qing Dynasty will have no flank worries. You don't need to think too much, after this battle is over, I will return to Liaodong and teach the Ming army a lesson!"

After finishing speaking, he no longer cared about Liaodong's affairs, but buried his hidden worries in his heart, looked up at the city of Pyongyang, and felt even more urgent in his heart, hoping that the battle of Pyongyang would end immediately.Of course, the premise is to hit it down.

At this time, the fighting in Pyongyang was already very intense.

The roar of artillery, the firing of firearms, the vibrating sound of bowstrings, as well as the sound of killing and screaming, all resounded together.At every moment, people fell to the ground with arrows, screamed after being shot, or were smashed to pieces by iron bullets, and they didn't even have the right to scream.

Finally, a catapult was pushed close enough, and a large group of Jianlu immediately got busy, shouting to fix the catapult, and then went to carry the stone bullets, preparing to throw stone bullets at the top of the city.

However, there was a roar on the top of the city, and in the blink of an eye, an iron bullet had already arrived first, hitting the fixed catapult in the middle, with a "crash", the catapult immediately fell to pieces and scattered all over the ground. There was a lot of screams, and many people were injured.

However, there were too many catapults. At this moment, another catapult was fixed, the second, the third, and more and more catapults were fixed and ready to drop bombs.Although the artillery on the top of the city has tried its best to disperse these catapults, it is impossible to disperse so many catapults in a short time.

Finally, the first stone bomb the size of a millstone roared towards Pyongyang City.But it's a pity that it just hit the bottom of the city of Pyongyang, and didn't touch the top of the city at all.However, when the boulder fell to the ground, the momentum it made was astonishing.

Huang Taiji saw that another catapult fired a stone bomb at the head of Pyongyang City, and it happened to hit the crenel. Suddenly, the crenel was smashed into a big hole like mud, and the surrounding Ming army was crushed. When the flying stone hit, there were immediate casualties.

"Okay!" Seeing this, Huang Taiji couldn't help shouting excitedly, and then he saw a stone bomb flying over the city wall and smashing into the city.

After a quick glance, Huang Taiji couldn't wait to order the siege troops to attack.

Therefore, Jianlu, who had been waiting for orders, carried the ladder, and immediately ran to Pyongyang City without saying a word.

I have to say that Jianlu at this time was indeed quite elite.In the general army, when one's own side is still smashing the city with catapults, how many people have the courage to charge at this time.However, upon Huang Taiji's order, they charged immediately without any hesitation.It can be seen that the ban on this point is at least well implemented.

At the same time, Huang Taiji also sent a decree to the catapult, asking them to extend the bombing, so as to prevent accidental injury to some extent.

At this time, in fact, the defense on the top of the city was not completely suppressed by Jianlu, and the two sides still fought back and forth.At this time, letting the siege troops ascend the city will have to suffer a lot of casualties.

However, Huang Taiji was so impatient that he wanted to take Pyongyang immediately and return to Liaodong. Therefore, he accepted that he would have to bear more losses.

However, his siege of the city regardless of casualties did put a lot of pressure on the Ming and North Korean troops on the top of the city.While dealing with Jianlu's long-range units, it is now even more difficult to defend the city from Jianlu's ascension.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng had already moved from the watchtower.Once Jianlu's catapult began to drop bombs, the archery tower was one of the main targets.

He was on the battlements, guarded by his personal guards, staring at the movement outside the city, frowning into a ball.Jianlu's madness was beyond his expectation.

No matter what, the morale of Jianlu's first siege is high, and they must not be allowed to succeed. They must be hit hard to beat back this first wave of siege.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng immediately ordered: "Order the city to send ten thousand enemies to the top of the city. Once Jianlu enters the city, immediately drop ten thousand enemies!"

This ten-thousand enemy was given by Emperor Chongzhen when Zheng Zhilong went to the capital last time, and it was created by the Bingzhan Bureau.The Dongjiang Army also imitated some of them.However, because Ten Thousand Enemies would consume a lot of gunpowder and other ingredients such as arsenic if they wanted to be powerful enough, the Dongjiang Army did not have much reserves for Ten Thousand Enemies.

Although Lu Xiangsheng brought Pyongyang, he originally thought that these tens of thousands of enemies would be used at the most critical moment.However, I didn't expect Jianlu's first siege to be so fierce.At this time, he didn't care whether there would be tens of thousands of enemies to use in the future. He had to pass the current level first.

After the order went down, Lu Xiangsheng continued to observe the battle outside the city.Finally, he suddenly had a doubt: "Jianlu's siege without regard to casualties is a bit contrary to common sense!"

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng raised his head and looked into the distance, where the puppet emperor Jianlu was.He was really a little puzzled, what did the false emperor think?

When he looked up, he was immediately taken aback.Although the distance was a bit far, it was broad daylight, and he was a sharpshooter, so his eyesight was naturally good. He saw two cavalry, with a difference of several hundred feet, one at a time, and one at a time, galloping towards the place where the puppet emperor Jianlu was.
