Emperor Ming Dynasty

At night, the lights of Jinzhou City were sparse.

Apparently, ordinary people had long anticipated the start of the siege and stockpiled firewood just in case.

This is an ancient tactic of besieging three and missing one.

Azig has to admit that this method is very effective.

He looked around, the Eight Banners officers looked away, few of them dared to look directly at him, all of them no longer had the ferocity and desire for military exploits of the past, like lambs who had lost their guts.

"Hey!" Azig patted his forehead, forcefully suppressing his melancholy: "How many people are there in the army?"

The Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army was in command of Bayan, with a bitter expression on his face: "After Ningyuan City was destroyed, our army suffered heavy losses. In addition to dozens of forts along the way, more than [-] people were killed or injured."

"After I come to help, plus your [-] defenders in Liaoxi, our total is about [-], and now only half is left."

"Humph!!"

Azige said angrily: "I don't know how much I have been greedy. One by one the fortresses have been turned into tofu, and they are broken in the blink of an eye. I don't know how many children have been killed by the trap."

Speaking of this, Azig was angry, the Ming army was in a mess, and his own people were strengthened when they knew it, but they were still the same.

It's really a crooked neck and a nest in the tree, the root is bad.

But if it is torn down and rebuilt, this is another huge expenditure, and the Qing court, which retreated outside the pass, simply cannot support it.

Now, the Qing army guarding the city was sitting on wax.

The dozens of cannons on the opposite side can knock down one in a day. After being knocked down for four or five days in a row, the Qing army collapsed in an instant, and the desire to defend the city was zero.

When retreating to Ningyuan, Azig still wanted to save it and tried to defeat it in a field battle, but was forced to retreat by a meal of musketeers.

Unable to defend and win, Liaoxi fell into this embarrassing situation.

Fortunately, Jinzhou City, as a big city in the West Liao Corridor, was well built both in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

It can last for seven or eight days, four or five days!

"What did Shengjing say?"

"Let's stand by and wait for reinforcements—"

"Then keep it!"

A conversation without nutrition is enough to make people starve to death, but the generals present looked at each other with helplessness.

But that's the reality.

There is no date, no number of soldiers and horses, and just keeping the word is a headache.

"Shengjing has [-] soldiers and horses. If you wait for a few days, reinforcements will surely arrive. When the time comes, they will attack and kill the Ming army to avenge their blood."

Azig makes a last-ditch effort.

Behind Jinzhou is Guangning, and then Shengjing. Although the distance is five hundred miles, it is mostly flat land and there is no danger to defend.

"The Great Qing will surely win—"

One after another slogans resounded, but people's hearts were different.

Jinzhou City was shaken even more.

Different from Liaodong, Jinzhou and other Liaoxi Corridors were lost only in Chongzhen 15 years, and it has been less than ten years.

During the Ming Dynasty, there were 600,000 military households in the capital of Liaodong. Including those who were exiled and fleeing famine, the population of Liaodong was about one million.

With the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty, there was an endless stream of Han people who fled to western Liaoning, reaching millions.

When Wu Sangui moved to Zhongqian and other people entered the customs, there were also 300,000 people.

Jinzhou is located in an important place, but there are many people. The population of the city is no less than [-].

The remaining population resources were blocked here and became part of Western Liaoning.

A large number of gentry are actually former military officers and scholars, and they still look towards Daming.

"Surrender is the only way."

In the city, the Han army gathered together to discuss the matter of anyway.

Because it represents life, future, and the lives of the people of Jinzhou.

Rebelling, raising troops, and returning to Daming, this is the choice of many generals and schools, and it is also the result that many gentry are happy to see.

"General, many generals in the city have already rebelled—"

Along with the cooking smoke, a large-scale military chaos swept across.

In addition to the inside and outside, the heroes rebelled, and Jinzhou immediately fell into the swamp, unable to extricate itself.

"The Qing army should really be dying."

The main force of the Eight Banners headed by Azig had lost a large number of personnel and had to be defeated.

"I waited for the people of the Ming Dynasty to finally welcome Master Wang back, and I will be able to meet my ancestors after death—"

For a while, weeping continued,

Li Jizu said without hesitation: "The Manchus are unpopular, and the victory in this battle is really God's will."

"The destiny is in the light, and the hearts of the people are in the light—"

"Snapped--"

Standing on the target a hundred paces away in the middle of the schoolyard, an arrow was finally hung.

The beef tendons were being pulled and creaking, and the veins on the hands were exposed, looking very professional.

People cheered and congratulated Emperor Ming.

It's not easy. After shooting all morning, I finally hung up.

Suddenly, a small step came quickly and came to the hall:
"Jinzhou is victorious, the emperor will live for ten thousand years—"

Jinzhou City has been taken down.

The army entered the city.

The planned four-way army can only take shape in western Liaoning, and it seems that Shengjing can be taken in June and July.

Boom, Boom, Boom——

Even though preparations had already been made, Zhu Yixi couldn't suppress the joy in his heart when he heard such news suddenly.

Including everyone, they have been suppressing themselves and obeying others during this time, all for the sake of Liaodong and Shengjing.

Later Jin, Qing, this local powerful faction that has been lingering for decades, will be thoroughly smelted into the army, and there is no way to be strict at all.

"If Jinzhou is taken down, will Shenyang be far behind?"

These words immediately caused a sensation in the capital.

The [-] Beijing battalion quickly moved from the capital to western Liaoning to guard the city of Jinzhou.

"Your Majesty, at this time, we should use our strength to continue to penetrate the west of Liaoning and approach Shenyang, so as to consume the elite of the Eight Banners."

Zhao Shu immediately demanded that beating a dog would not kill him, but he would suffer from it. This war cannot be dragged on any longer.

"Sooner or later, you really have to be patient and take it step by step."

Zhu Yixi's heart was throbbing, and he gritted his teeth and directed the support of the Beijing camp.

The Ministry of Households once again mobilized one million silver dollars to support the Liaodong War.

And Azig left Jinzhou and came to Guangning City with the rest of the deserters.

This place is located between Jinzhou and Shenyang, and within two or three days' journey, Shenyang can be directly surrounded.

And you must know that there are still Wu Sangui and Chen Yongfu in the Liaodong Peninsula at this time. They have held back [-] to [-] elites, and they are coming back from the front.

Once a large-scale retreat, it will expose the strength of guilty conscience, and it is very easy to turn into a rout.

In other words, the two parties are still at a stalemate, not daring to give in easily.

"Continue to send troops, Liaoxi cannot be lost."

Dorgon gritted his teeth regardless of his illness.Said word by word.

The old Ming army had already changed a lot, and Shengjing had also changed.

Helpless, tens of thousands of people were squeezed out of the Eight Banners, insisting on supporting Guangning and recovering western Liaoning.

The situation seemed to be in a state of rigidity, and it began to fail.

And the Ming Army, which has a vast Central Plains, once again launched an offensive, and with the support of the Beihai Division, the three places began to cooperate,
This time, the stalemate was broken, and victory had come.

Inside Liaodong, it was also turbulent and restless.
