Daming wolf ride

Due to the snow on the road, hundreds of war horses fell and injured their hooves, Hong Tai's mount almost slipped, although he did not fall, but the horse's hoof was obviously injured, Azig changed his mount to a Mrs. Hong herself took the horse of the soldiers.

When it was more than 20 miles away from Shenyang, Mrs. Hong's nosebleed finally stopped, but her whole body was also weak due to excessive blood loss, and she couldn't stop shaking while sitting on the horse. I'm going to be tired on the road.

The doctor accompanying the army kept persuading Mrs. Hong to stop and rest, and Abatai and the others also advised Mrs. Hong to stop and rest, but Mrs. Hong refused.

At this moment, Mrs. Hong, in addition to caring about the women and children of the Eight Banners in Shenyang City, also cared about his two young sons Ye Bushu and Shuo Sai. He was very afraid that the Ming army would kill his own flesh and blood, and he was afraid that the Ming army would take his own. The two sons threatened him, but in the end, after much deliberation, they decided whether to send someone to contact the generals of the Ming army if Shenyang could not be taken down, to see if they could redeem Shenyang and his son with money.

Knowing about the generals of the Ming army in the past made Hong Tai's idea of ​​redeeming the city and redeeming people stronger, and he also thought about who to send to contact the Ming army. This person is Tong Yangxing, who is very familiar with the Liaodong general of the Ming army.

But Mrs. Hong was worried about what price to pay.Since Lao Khan started his army, Dajin has indeed robbed a lot of money, but most of the money is in Shenyang City. Now that Shenyang is occupied by the Ming army, the money naturally no longer belongs to Dajin, and there is little money and food in other places. The ransom cannot be paid.

If there is no money to redeem the city and people, the best way is to cede the land to the Ming army.Since the Ming army landed from the south of Liaoning, Dajin did not pay much attention to those places. After being looted by the Ming army, it must be even more dilapidated. It is better to return the south of Liaoning to the Ming army.

It would be best if the Ming army agreed to this condition, but in case of not agreeing, Mrs. Hong's bottom line is to return Guangning to the Ming army, and the rest cannot be given up.

But what if the Ming army does not agree to this condition?

Mrs. Hong was a little annoyed. The Ming army was able to capture Shenyang, which meant that they had a large number of troops. Combined with the news sent by Daishan, there were tens of thousands of troops.If they didn't take advantage of the fire to loot but wanted to regain the outside of the pass, no amount of conditions would be able to impress the Ming army.Since he ascended the throne, the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty has devoted himself to regaining the outside of the customs. He even refused to agree to the peace talks with Da Jin who had the upper hand. up.

If peace cannot be negotiated, it is naturally impossible to redeem the city and the people. As a result, this matter has fallen into a dead end. Apart from fighting, Mrs. Hong can't think of a better way.The main force fell hundreds of miles away, and it would take at least seven or eight days for them to reach Shenyang. Mrs. Hong dared not even think about taking Shenyang with the five thousand cavalry in her hand.

Back then, Lao Khan was able to take Shenyang because of the internal support in Shenyang City, not only Shenyang, since the Eight Banners uprising, every Ming city captured by Dajin relied on internal support, and none of them relied on strong attacks.The end of a strong attack is defeat in every battle. The lessons of Ningyuan and Jinzhou have taught Mrs. Hong that before there is not enough artillery, it is basically impossible to attack the city of the Ming Dynasty by manpower.

Shenyang City has been built very solidly in the past few years, and a strong attack is definitely not enough. The Eight Banners are good at besieging the city and fighting for aid. Last year's battle between the big and the small Linghe was the way of besieging the city and fighting for aid. In the entire battle, the Eight Banners did not attack Dalinghe City by force. However, the victory was won only by relying on the tactics of besieging the defenders and repelling the reinforcements.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Hong had an idea. There was not much food in Shenyang city, and it was impossible for the Ming army to carry much food and grass when they crossed the sea to the north. If they stick to Shenyang, wouldn't they end up in a lonely city like Zu Dashou?

A smile finally appeared on Mrs. Hong's bloodless face, and he had already figured out how to deal with the Ming army in Shenyang.The bargaining chip of the Ming army in Shenyang is not his bargaining chip, Mrs. Hong. As long as the Ming army's food road is cut off and the Ming army from southern Liaoning is blocked, it will not be a headache for him but a headache for the commander of the Ming army.

After making up his mind, Mrs. Hong's spirit became better again. Abatai and the others were a little relieved when they saw it. If Mrs. Hong fell at this juncture, then the Eight Banners would have no leader.

Hong Tai sent an order to speed up the march and must arrive in Shenyang before noon.The [-] cavalry were indeed the elite of the Eight Banners. Although the road was snowy and difficult to walk, none of them complained. They gave full play to the tenacity of the Jurchens in the severe cold weather and insisted on increasing their marching speed a lot.

However, the closer they got to Shenyang, the more ominous the Eight Banners felt. They always felt that there was something bad waiting for them ahead. Not only the soldiers felt this way, but Mrs. Hong himself also had this premonition.

After crossing the sandy ridge, everyone in Jin Bing knew why they had a bad feeling, because Shenyang, the capital city of Dajin more than ten miles away, was currently shrouded in fire.

.........

The sky-high fire in the direction of Shenyang rushed straight towards Yunxiao. Looking at the flames, the entire city of Shenyang might be on fire.The black smoke writhed wantonly above the ground like a giant dragon with teeth and claws.

The black smoke means that the city is burning. If it is completely burned, then the white smoke will come out. The Eight Banners know this. The most incredible thing.

Mrs. Hong's face was extremely ugly, and the guards on the side could even see his right hand holding the saddle shaking non-stop.

The Ming army made the stupidest and smartest decision. They even set fire to Shenyang City!

Mrs. Hong thought of any measures that the commander of the Ming army might take after occupying Shenyang, but she didn't expect that the Ming army had no intention of occupying Shenyang. They chose the simplest and most brutal way - burning down the capital of Dajin.

Mrs. Hong's heart was worried for a while, he knew what the Ming army did before setting off the fire, and he would have done it otherwise.

The little faces of Ye Busu and Shuo Sai couldn't help coming to his mind, remembering how they babbled and called "Ama", Mrs. Hong was in extreme pain.

The pain made Mrs. Hong's face extremely distorted, and the already bloodless face became extremely hideous and terrifying under the distortion.

None of the guards dared to speak, they were too frightened to move.

Abatai, Doazige, and Dorgon didn't look any better, and their families were also in Shenyang City. If the Ming army had already set fire to the city first, and according to the blood feud between Ming and Jin, what would happen to their families? You don't need to guess what will happen, you can know the general idea.

Thinking of his sons, Abatai felt like dying.Not long after Dorgon got married, he who loved Fujin very much couldn't help but shed a tear at this moment.Duoyi was young, heartless, and didn't suffer much from the loss of a loved one, but he also gritted his teeth, and his eyes were full of vengeful anger.

Among the three brothers, Azig has the most anxious temper. He is always the first to yell about something, and he is very impatient. But this time he kept silent, neither roaring angrily nor cursing anything. Just staring blankly, blankly watching...

Some Jin soldiers began to cry loudly. Those who called Er Niang, those who called Ama, and those who called their wives and children had everything. Have a little fighting spirit.They were either sitting on the horses, or they were already paralyzed under the horses, lying on the snow and wailing towards Shenyang City.

Seeing this, Abatai was startled, he was the first to react from the pain, he hurriedly stopped the surrounding red-armored barbarians, and then asked them to immediately suppress the flag soldiers who were screaming, and the generals also turned back My God, without the Baylors above issuing orders, they began to suppress the soldiers. After a series of curses and beatings, they finally stopped the crying in the army, but the small choked sobs would never go away. .

The commotion in the army only made Mrs. Hong frowned, and the soldiers' choked sobs did not make him angry. He just sighed and ordered to set off immediately. He rushed to Shenyang without stopping to see if he could put the fire out Extinguish it, and save some civilians who were not killed by the Ming army.

.............

The [-] cavalrymen were elites from the Two Yellow Banners, and their family members were also in Shenyang City. Hearing that Da Khan said that he had to rush to save people, he calmed down for a while and held some hope. still alive.

After galloping for more than a dozen miles, I didn't care about horsepower at all. After urging the horses and whipping them, after arriving in Shenyang City, I am afraid that hundreds of war horses will die of exhaustion, and hundreds of war horses will not stop spitting foam. There were even bleeding bubbles, and it seemed that he couldn't survive.

Regardless of those exhausted war horses, Mrs. Hong first asked Azig to lead hundreds of cavalry to besiege the city to prevent the Ming army from ambush. Fire saves lives.

Shenyang City, whether it is the inner city or the outer city, is mostly made of wood. The Ming army set fire to exhaust the kerosene and vegetable oil in Shenyang City. After two days of burning, most of the city has been reduced to ashes, and the rest are left. A few solitary wooden pillars were burning.What's more vicious is that after the Ming army set fire to it, all the city gates in Shenyang were piled up to death, so that none of the residents in the city could escape.

Shenyang was completely destroyed, even more completely destroyed than when the Jin army captured Shenyang. Except for the relatively intact city wall, this largest city outside the pass with a population of more than [-] in the past no longer looks like a fortified city.

Jin Jun thought that there would be people who survived by chance in the city, but they searched the inner city and outer city countless times, and except for those charred corpses, there was no living person to be seen.

Most of the corpses in the outer city were found in the houses, and the corpses were still intact. Most of them were choked to death by thick smoke and then burned. It was rare to see those who were killed before death.

However, the inner city was horrible. Countless corpses with severed heads were concentrated in the garrisons bordered with red flags and yellow flags. In the Khan Palace, there were densely piled up corpses burned to death. Some corpses were not completely burned because of the high temperature. corpse oil.

Thousands of corpses piled up outside the Fengtian Gate were found. After identification, all of them were men from the Eight Banners, and the heads of the corpses were all cut off.This is also the only area that has not been burned by the fire. The corpses piled up by thousands of corpses made Jin Bing look pale.

After reluctantly searching again, Jin Jun had no choice but to withdraw from Shenyang, because the fire in the city could not be extinguished, and the high temperature accompanied by the smell of burnt corpses made Shenyang City look like a city of hell, and no one could stay in this hell for a moment .

The bodies of Ye Busu and Shuo Sai were found in the corpse view. When Mrs. Hong saw the headless bodies of her two sons, she couldn't hold on any longer, and her eyes went dark and she passed out again.
