Chapter 1093 The Change of Shengjing
"Drive by..."

A team of Manchu scouts galloped out from Shengjing City, and went away quickly.After about five miles or so, the older leader in the lead gestured to his subordinates to pay attention, and then he himself took the reins of the horse, deviated from the official road, and rushed into the nearby crop field.

When his subordinates saw it, they had no choice but to follow up, but one of them, a younger Man Qing Tanma, said in a low voice: "The emperor said that we will fight to protect the food, but now we have trampled on the food..."

Hearing that, the leader looked back at him and said, "To save the food, you must first save your own life!"

"What's so great about Minggou?" The subordinate seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and replied a little emotionally, "Now that I am in the Qing Dynasty, we have no retreat, and we have no way out. We can only fight to the death. Minggou is a human being, and we are also human beings. I don’t believe it anymore, a dog with three heads and six arms can’t do it, with our strength and morale, we can definitely defeat them. The emperor’s decree has said that as long as you have the courage to fight, you can defeat all seemingly powerful enemies!”

The other older man next to the young man couldn't stand it any longer, and snapped, "Shut up, don't drag us down if you're tired of working!"

Seeing this scene, the leader sighed in his heart, turned around, and did not speak again.I just thought in my heart that this scene in the past should have happened to Ming Jun!The Ming army became stronger as it fought, and our Qing army became weaker and weaker. How can this change in strength be changed by a stunned young man?

Not to mention other things, just looking at the horses under the crotch, it is not at the same level as the Ming army.But even these old, weak and thin horses under the crotch were managed by the Qing Dynasty with great difficulty.Thinking about the past, the Qing Dynasty had grassland allies, and the war horses were all excellent, fat and strong.But now...

Thinking of this, he recalled the contact with Ming Jun Ye Bu Shou yesterday, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.Those nights of the Ming army were not collected, and each of them was very skilled. Not only were they good at riding and shooting, but their cooperation with each other was also comparable to the peak period of the Qing Dynasty's horse exploration.Their ordnance is even more sophisticated, from weapons to food, it is very enviable.

Sometimes, he was a little surprised. With the elite of the Ming army who never stopped at night, why the Ming army's fighting will was so weak in the scout battle after the emperor ascended the throne, and they retreated without fighting anything?
After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to either.What needs to be done now is to shield the west of Shengjing, so as to buy time for the grain harvest in the rear.

Thinking of the grain collection team that set off from the east gate of Shengjing almost at the same time, the Jianlu Tanma made up his mind that he must lead his men well and try to delay the Ming army's refusal to harvest at night, so as not to let them know the situation in the east.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed: "No, the Ming army will not accept it at night..."

As soon as he heard it, he immediately looked around, and saw in the distance in front of them, groups of Ming soldiers who would not stop at night, were rushing towards Shengjing in a fan shape, and a group of them saw them and even rushed towards them .

"Why did the Ming army come here for so many nights without taking them back? Could it be that the main force of the Ming army has come up?" The leader of the Manqing scouting horse turned pale and guessed to himself.

And the person who reprimanded him just now sneered at the young man who uttered wild words: "Don't you have the courage to kill the enemy? Now that the dog is coming up, you can go up!"

However, the young Manqing Tanma did not hear his words, but stared palely at the Ming army in the distance, obviously frightened.

"The Ming army is not encircling them at night. If we don't leave, our horsepower is no match for them, so we won't be able to leave." The other man Qing Tanma was not interested in talking to the young man who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth before, and suggested a little panicked.

In fact, he didn't need to say any more, the leader of the Manchu horse scout turned his horse and started to escape.

However, as they themselves expected, the war horses of the Ming army were much better than the war horses used by the Qing horse explorers.Moreover, every one of the Ming army Ye Bu Shou was a man of superb riding skills, and almost everyone was a horse and a horse. It didn't take long before they caught up with them.

Two Ming soldiers drew their bows and arrows on their horses at night, kicking off the prelude to the attack.

"Swish" bows and arrows came through the air, they didn't shoot people, they just shot horses, and they almost never missed. Someone brandished a weapon, skillfully adjusted it on the horse's back, and took advantage of the situation to reap the lives of the fallen horse and Manqing Tan's horse.The cooperation between the Ming army's night is not received is very skillful.

Above the city of Shengjing, the formation has already been prepared, and the teams are full of remnants, staring at everything outside the city with stern faces, seeing their scouts fleeing back in embarrassment, behind them, like a pack of wolves chasing The Ming army did not collect the prey at night.Right under their noses, from time to time, they saw Tan Ma falling off the horse, and then being easily killed by the Ming army. This was a completely one-sided massacre.

The city gates of Shengjing were closed tightly, and Prince Duoduo who was on duty did not dare to open the city gates. He just let people shout and let the escaped Tanma lean against the wall and walk around the city.Look for opportunities to enter the city again.

At this time, Duoduo was standing in the arrow tower at the top of the city, watching groups of Ming soldiers roaring in at night, and then roaring away after showing off their power below the city, bypassing Shengjing, and going away.

Duoduo's face was gloomy, and he had rich experience in the battlefield. When he saw that the Ming army was far more than the previous few days, he knew that the main force of the Ming army was coming.It's so hard to die, why did it come up today, can't it be a few days later?
He didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately let someone ring the alarm gong, and the whole city entered the highest alert, and the defense ordnance materials were transported to the top of the city.The news that the Ming army was about to attack on a large scale was also sent to the palace immediately.

When Dorgon came to the city from the palace in person, the vanguard of the Ming army had already appeared outside Shengjing.

Dorgon's battlefield experience is naturally richer than that of Duoduo. Therefore, just looking at it, from the marching ranks of the new army, the mental outlook, the queues that dispersed after approaching Shengjing, etc., especially the new army seems to be completely different. There is no need for orders from the generals, and everything that should be taken before the battle is carried out consciously by the officers below.From these details, Dorgon realized that this Ming army was the most elite army he had ever seen.

He was not mistaken. Compared with the previous army, the new army has one of the biggest advantages, that is, the whole army is more or less literate, and almost all officers at all levels have gone to the junior military training hall to study.The quality of officers is far from comparable to other armies.In addition, the supervising troops at all levels acted with the army, even if there was no order from the superior, they could handle emergencies correctly.

The elite of this new army can be seen not only by Dorgon and Duoduo, but also by the veterans of the Qing Dynasty who followed them, the slave chieftains, who came from Liaodong.And when those young Manchu soldiers saw the expressions of the veterans, they could naturally understand something.All of a sudden, on the top of the city, because of Dorgon's ascension to the throne, because of Dorgon's great rewards, and because of Dorgon's exciting purpose, the morale inspired by Dorgon's exciting will was silently splashed by the Ming army outside the city. Plates of cold water.

And their mood also affected the soldiers of the Second Devils who were transporting defensive materials under the city and fighting against the elites of the Manchu Qing. Originally, the morale of these Korean soldiers of the Manchu Qing was not high. Being so pessimistic made them even more miserable.

Dorgon stared at the Ming army that appeared continuously, estimated the strength and combat power of the Ming army in his heart, and really wanted to send troops to the east of Shengjing to protect the grain harvesting team, but when he observed After that, I didn't dare to do so.He didn't say anything else to boost morale. It's true that the Ming army is right under the city, and the elite spirit comes from the front. No one is a fool.Under such circumstances, only victories can boost morale. However, he has no confidence in going out of the city to win a battle, so he can only rely on the city wall to defend passively.

Fortunately, this Ming army seems to be mainly seeking stability, and the various arms cooperate with each other, and they are not greedy for meritorious service.Except for the Ming army that was active at night, the other Ming troops were like a piece of iron, stopping and camping at the west gate of Shengjing.It can be said that the Ming army was very stable, and the camps they set up were able to attack and defend, and did not give any chance to the enemies in the city.But in this way, it took a lot of time. Seeing the sunset, it was already evening, and it was impossible for the Ming army to attack the city again. Dorgon was relieved, but he returned to the palace with a serious face.

That night, the Ming army did not attack the city, but the Ming army was stationed outside the city, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on Shengjing City.

Dorgon, Duoduo and the others didn't dare to go to sleep, they kept discussing countermeasures.

"Your Majesty, it seems that there is no hope for food, why don't you burn it?" Duoduo suggested with a dark face.

When the Ming army decided to harvest the grain in advance, the whole army was dispatched, and the plan was disrupted at once, which made people very annoying.

Dorgon was very distressed, rubbing his forehead and said: "If there is no such food, even if our Qing Dynasty defeated the Ming army, how would we survive this winter?"

"Your Majesty, why don't we withdraw quickly while the Ming army is not besieging the city?" Azig suggested with a little confidence, "If the Ming army starts besieging the city, we may have no chance. Your Majesty doesn't know , the firearms of the Ming army are very powerful. I saw it with my own eyes when I was in Zhenjiang Fort. I lit the fire, and the rows of lead bullets hit it like rain. It can block the gate of the city, but it is impossible to rush out. Also, I see that the Ming army outside the city still has Che Ying, they must have brought a lot of red cannons, Sheng Jingguang can't fight back after being beaten, and he will be defeated sooner or later!"

What he said, Dorgon and others naturally saw it.It's just that he has tasted the power of the flintlock array and knows that it is more powerful than the matchlock guns of the Ming army before.After he said that, Duduo unexpectedly did not object, facing the Ming army outside the city, he once again showed shock.

According to Dorgon's plan, the Ming army was still resting in Incheon, so that they could grab food for themselves.With food, there is confidence, and the morale of defending the city is also sufficient. Maybe you can find an opportunity to drag down the Ming army. After all, the logistics of the Ming army must not be easy. On Qing's side, it's a fight to the death, maybe they can win.

However, this Ming army suddenly ended its rest and began to attack Shengjing again.There is not much food in the city at all, and without food, it is impossible to defend the city.

For him, if he could stabilize the situation in Shengjing, he would naturally not think about leaving his hometown and fleeing eastward.But now, the situation is severe, so he has to think about it.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then a personal guard came up to report, "Your Majesty, the North Korean bitch who was trying to contact the Ming army outside the city was caught."

This news made Dorgon and others very angry. They brought them up to question and found a blood book.Really, there are quite a few courtiers of Korean nationality who expressed their loyalty to the Ming army in private. Looking back at the history of friendship with the Ming country, they said that they were forced, and they were waiting for the heavenly kingdom to send troops to rescue them. They were willing to respond internally. Cooperating with the Ming army inside and outside...

"Your Majesty, I know that few of these Korean pigs are loyal! If you want to say, the battle is imminent, the city must be stable, and killing them all will be clean." He didn't dare to say anything, but he roared at these North Korean pigs.

Dorgon's face was very ugly. Looking at the name on the blood book, he seemed to be stunned for a long time before he said: "How can we last long with our Qing Dynasty alone? North Koreans are still required to do all kinds of chores." Fortunately, take a look, there are not many North Korean officials on this list, which shows that my previous rewards can indeed stabilize a group of people..."

While he was talking, he saw another commotion from outside. The slap in the face was that this time, a Korean who tried to contact the Ming army outside the city was also found on the south side of the city, and a blood book was also found, which was the same as the previous one. They are all the same, they are all thinking of joining the Ming army before the battle.

This time, Dorgon's face was really ugly. If the two blood letters were added together, there would be a lot of North Korean officials with different intentions.Duo Duo yelled to fight and kill again, which made Dorgon fall into deep thought, obviously thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, not long after, a North Korean who was doing the same thing was caught in the east of the city.This time, Dorgon also roared angrily: "I treat them well. I didn't expect that these North Koreans are all courageous people. They are still unfamiliar white-eyed wolves. In the face of danger, they don't want to help each other. Thinking of solidarity and solidarity, but only thinking of surrendering to the enemy in fear of death, it seems that I am usually too kind..."

Saying this, Dorgon's eyes were extremely cold.He looked at Duoduo and Azig, made a decision, and at the same time was full of murderous intent!
Under the night, Dorgon and others moved one after another, dispatching troops and generals. Not long after, there was a lot of commotion in Shengjing City.

The Ming army outside the city was immediately on high alert, guarding against the Manchus stealing the camp, at least that's how Cao Bianjiao's general order was passed down.Any movement in the city should remain unchanged, and everything will be discussed at dawn.This order can be said to be a prudent move, and the others didn't say much.

It was almost a noisy night, and the sky finally dawned.
