I'm really not the carpenter emperor

With all his strength, Wang Xuan stomped his feet and put all his strength into his arms. In the blink of an eye, he hugged the Jurchen soldier, pressed him to the ground, and punched him in the face with fists the size of sandbags.

"Kill Jianu!"

"Kill Jianu!!"

For a moment, the fist and the minced meat of the face were mixed together, bloody and bloody.

This Jurchen soldier with the Yellow Banner was born tall and burly, and he was Nurhachi's personal soldier, but he was not Wang Xuan's opponent at all. He was pinned down tightly under his body, sweat dripped from his anxious forehead, and he was still helpless.

After a while, Wang Xuan fell down, and the Jurchen soldier under him was also beaten beyond recognition, without a sound.

Chapter 364 A Loyal Family

Zou Chuxian stood on the tower, exhausted.

No matter how hard he tried, the Houjin soldiers couldn't kill them all. His hand holding the knife trembled slightly, and his body was covered in blood.

Without thinking too much, another Jurchen soldier in heavy armor climbed onto the tower.

This Jurchen infantry soldier held a broadsword in his hand, his eyes were full of greed, he stepped forward with a roar, and was about to turn the head of the chief general of the Ming army into his own future.

"It's over..."

Zou Chuxian had no physical strength, he watched the slave soldiers' swords waving towards him, but he couldn't lift the heavy saber in his hand.

At the critical moment, a soldier who had just hacked to death the slave soldier in front of him saw that his superior was in trouble, so he didn't think about it, he rushed forward with all his strength, and fell down the city together with the slave soldier in the blink of an eye.

"Tiger—!"

Zou Chuxian's eyes widened with anger, and he stood on the city tower leaning on his saber, looking at the fields all over the field, and the endless Houjin soldiers scrambled to enter the city gate, and he was at a loss for a moment.

Anger, powerlessness, sadness, all kinds of feelings came at the same time, Zou Chuxian knelt on the ground powerlessly, facing the direction of the capital, feeling very sad.

"Your Majesty, the last general is incompetent! He can't defend the city."

"Dingliao Zuowei, lost..."

The recent battle in Shenyang is related to the overall situation of Liao affairs. Strategically important places such as Fushun are occupied by Jiannu, and the isolated city of Shenyang is at stake.

Xiong Tingbi strictly ordered all the cities and forts to be strictly guarded. Zou Chuxian was ordered to garrison the Zuowei City and moved his whole family here to show his intention of defending the country.

Later, the Jin army suddenly went south and took advantage of the wind to attack Liaoyang. Although Zou Chuxian had perfect defenses, he was outnumbered.

Not only did he feel sorry for his six-year-old son and his virtuous wife, but more importantly, he felt sorry for the 20 people in Zuowei City and the current emperor who gave him an official position.

Although the general situation was gone, Zou Chuxian still stood on the tower, holding the Ming flag fluttering in mid-air in one hand, giving orders.

"General, the guerrilla general Wang Xuanzhan died in Wengcheng...!" Suddenly, a soldier with blood on his face rushed over, and he was sobbing as he spoke.

"It's a man after all, I didn't misread him."

The reason why Zou Chuxian was strict with Wang Xuan was to protect him. Wang Xuan made a mistake, and there was no way out under Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong economic strategist who ruled the army strictly, and the military order must not be violated!

Instead of being convicted and dying, it is better to keep the name of killing captives and use it to the world.

This death preserved Wang Xuan's reputation as a hero in the world, and allowed his wife, children, and children to face up to the world, and stand upright as a heroic queen.

To die on the battlefield is really a great thing for these generals who have been stationed in the border town for a long time!

Behind Zou Chuxian, the cannons on the Left Acropolis were still blazing, but they were getting weaker and weaker, and the roar of the cannons was still deafening.

From day to dusk, the fierce battle gradually subsided.

Zou Chuxian and his personal soldiers protected a group of civil servants and powerful men in the city, and were forced to go downstairs in Dingyuan in the northeast of the city by the Houjin soldiers who invaded the city.

The civil servants had no integrity at this time, either moaned or sighed, or fell limp on the ground, and some even pooped on the ground, which was horrible.

Inside the building, Zou Chuxian held a knife in one hand, looked coldly at a civil servant in front of him, and said:

"Sir, the matter has come to this, please respect yourself!"

Zhao Yanglin was no longer as calm as he used to be, he took a few steps back with a panicked expression.

"Zou Chuxian, could it be that you want to rebel!"

"I am the counselor of Liaoyang!"

Indeed, the former Wang Huazhen was the counselor sent by the capital to Guangning.

Due to the special military town regulations in Liaodong, there are almost no civil servants in Liaodong. As a counselor of the capital, he can even wrestle with Xiong Tingbi, the economic strategist of Liaodong.

He suddenly understood what Zou Chuxian was going to do, and he was even more frightened. He shrank into the pile of civil officials and said loudly, "I'm just a bureaucrat in Liaoyang. As a civil servant, I have no responsibility to guard the land!"

"Serving the country and defending the land, this is the business of your generals. If you want to die, go and fight Jian Nu to your death. There is no need to come to my official!"

Zou Chuxian looked at him and sneered without saying a word.

After a while, he said:

"If this is not the case, there are many remnants and defeated soldiers in the city, and there are also many people who resisted. The adults went out to gather them, regroup, and kill the left guard."

"how?"

The behavior of civil officials who are greedy for life and fear of death has touched the hearts of these soldiers who died for the country. They have spoken out to resist, and some even want to come forward to help them "die festival" for the country.

"Good, good, good!"

Zhao Yanglin was confused and hurriedly answered.

Suddenly, he reacted again and said:

"This is what your generals will do. You are shrinking in this Dingyuan building. Could it be that you are collaborating with the enemy, Zou Chuxian, why don't you go out and call for resistance!"

"Counterattack at this time will definitely win!"

Just as he was speaking, there was a loud bang.

A soldier of the Ming army with a dark complexion ran into the Dingyuan Building and shouted loudly:

"General, Jiannu is attacking!"

"They captured our gunners and asked them to use our guns. They are bombarding Dingyuan Building!"

For a time, the crowd was furious.

Many soldiers stepped forward one after another, calling for a fight.

"General, we are all dead anyway, take us out!"

"It's better to die outside than to stay here and protect these idiots who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Zou Chuxian didn't answer, he walked up to Zhao Yanglin with a dark face, and stabbed in the latter's terrified eyes.

"Master Councilor, our road has come to an end!"

"To protect your reputation, please forgive me for being rude!"

Taking advantage of the chaos, Zou Chuxian led his own soldiers to break out of the siege, and broke through to a corner in the north of the city. This was his home, the last place of the Zou family.

The youngest son and his wife ran out, hugged each other and cried.

Zou Chuxian separated the two, glared at them and said sharply:

"Why are you crying? To die for the country is a blessing for the general!"

"Come and kowtow to the capital again!"

Seeing this scene, the remaining ten soldiers couldn't help but feel sad. At this moment, a group of Jurchen cavalry turned around at the end of the road.

"Erbeile has an order to massacre the city!"

"All the Han people in the city, not one stay!!"

Wielding their sabers, these cavalry rushed into the market without restraint, hacking and killing anyone they saw. For a while, there was chaos and screams.

The soldiers looked at each other and said in unison:

"General, we are going!"

This time, the soldiers didn't even wait for Zou Chuxian's order, they got on their horses, screamed loudly, and went straight to kill the Jurchen cavalry who were slaughtering the people.

"Kill Jianu!"

After a fierce battle, there were more than ten bodies of Jurchens and soldiers on the ground.

The last soldier was surrounded by many Jurchen regiments, he looked up at the sky, laughed a few times, and suddenly swung his saber.

The Jurchen soldiers thought that the Ming soldier was about to fight to the death, and they all backed away in fright. When they looked up, they saw that the soldier had already committed suicide.

Until his death, he still guarded the wooden door of a private house.

Zou Chuxian saw the last soldier died in front of his eyes, and when he looked again, the Dingyuan Tower was already on fire, presumably it had been captured by Houjin soldiers.

He looked at the corpses of his wife and children on the ground, turned around and walked into the room.

At this time, except for a few places in the whole city, there were still small-scale resistance from the remnants of the Ming army and the people, and the fighting was basically over.

The Xianghuang Banner army led by Amin captured the heavily fortified Left Acropolis within a day.

More than a dozen officers defending the city, including the commander-in-chief, deputy general, and guerrilla general, died in a pool of blood, and more than [-] Ming troops did not surrender.

Amin came to Zou Chuxian's residence on horseback, waved and ordered to go in to find out.

Numerous Houjin soldiers and horses gradually approached. Just as they saw the corpses of Zou Chuxian's wife and children in the courtyard, a civil servant of Houjin who surrendered shouted in surprise:

"Zou Chuxian set himself on fire!"

Chapter 365 Dongjiang Northward

In the evening, the flames of the war had been extinguished. Nurhachi, the kings, and Baylor came to the Dusi Yamen one after another, and each occupied several rooms to wash and rest.

Amin was ordered to lead the Xianghuang Banner to continue southward, and left Zuoweicheng at midnight.

One day, Xiong Tingbi was dispatching the generals, when he heard that the defeated soldiers had reported that the left guard had been lost, and all the civil and military officials of the Liaodong capital's administrative office were dead with the city.

He paused, and said loudly in front of all the civil and military:

"The Zou family is loyal and loyal in serving the country. The governor will report it to Beijing and speak about it to help the great deeds."

After saying that, he looked around at the generals again and said:

"Xiong Tingbi is not talented. Thanks to His Majesty's great kindness, he entrusted me with the affairs of the Liao Dynasty. How dare you not be terrified? In this battle, I will do my best to defend the city and relieve the court's difficulties!"

"I also ask you to strictly abide by my order and serve the Holy One!"

All the generals were all shivering, and said in unison:

"The last general waits to do his best, and competes for the best!"

……

The Dingliao Zuowei fell so quickly that it shocked the whole Liao for a moment.

The Liaodong capital's official office is in the city, and its garrisoned heavy artillery has also fallen into the hands of the Houjin army. Knowing this, Nurhachi was overjoyed and rewarded Amin and his troops with a yellow flag.

At the same time, Kuandian Liubao.

The six forts in Kuandian were built by Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. One fort manages a section of the Liaodong Great Wall, which is close to the Jurchen base area. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Li Chengliang set up these six forts to contain Jianzhou Jurchen.

But later, the elderly Li Chengliang did not know why, and Emperor Wanli of Shangshu withdrew the Six Forts of Kuandian, which made the situation in Liaodong even worse.

Xiong Tingbi once went to the Shu and proposed to restore the six forts in Kuandian, emigrate and guard the border, calling it "eight hundred miles of Xinjiang".However, the government was overwhelmed, and Zhu Youxiao had to shelve it.

Mao Wenlong recaptured the Six Fortresses of Kuandian the day before yesterday. At this time, he was sitting on the main seat with a big horse and a golden sword, with a dignified expression.

In a few days, Dingliao Zuowei fell, and news of Zou Chuxian's self-immolation spread throughout the Dongjiang army.

This made Mao Wenlong feel that the situation in Liaoshen is so critical that there is no room for a moment's delay. He frowns and thinks about the strategy.

Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde and other generals at the head also showed righteous indignation.

Mao Chenglu stepped forward and said loudly:

"Father Commander, the Tartars are pouring out of the country like this, and the six forts of Kuandian are not fortified. Don't they think that our Dongjiang Army is the same as last year?"

Kong Youde clasped his fists and said: "The commander-in-chief, please lead us straight to the slave nest, avenge the brothers who died in Zuowei City, and let His Majesty know the role of our Dongjiang Army!"

Indeed, for three years since the first year of Tianqi, Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang army has always won the trust of Emperor Tianqi, paying them food and weapons.

But in the past three years, Mao Wenlong felt that the so-called "good news" he played was too shabby.

Except for North Korea's Uiju, none of the regained places can be defended, and they are always besieged by the army of slaves in Phi Island, and they cannot enter or exit.

Thinking of this, he got up and said:
