Huang Taiji killed too much at that time, and the entire Zhenglan Banner basically collapsed completely. At one time, only seven banners were left in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. Later, Haoge completely cut off his connection with Zhenglan Banner because of killing his wife, the daughter of Mangguertai's sister Mangguji, thus gaining Huang Taiji's trust again.

Later, Huang Taiji reorganized the Zhenglan Banner and let Haoge be the banner leader. He drew a large number of soldiers from the Yellow Banners to supplement them into the Zhenglan Banner, so that the strength of the Zhenglan Banner was quickly restored. At present, among the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, the Zhenglan Banner is the strongest, followed by the two white Banners, and the fourth one was the Zhenglan Banner.

After such a large-scale liquidation, Haoge did spend a lot of effort to restore his strength to this level. However, the combat power has been restored, but the people's hearts have not been completely condensed.

The Zhenglan Banner ruled by Haoge now has mixed the original Zhenglan Banner soldiers and the transferred Yellow Banner soldiers. Due to historical reasons, the upper-level generals are basically transferred Yellow Banner soldiers, while the middle and lower-level soldiers are the original Zhenglan Banner soldiers. The latter has difficulty in upgrading, and very few can eventually get involved in the upper-level Zhenglan Banner.

The original Zhenglan Banner soldiers were about two thousand in the army at this moment. In addition, there were also the same number of Zhenglan Banner soldiers who were demoted to slaves on that day and their descendants.

Sakhana was very clear about these situations. He named all the people he knew and called on them to surrender to the Ming army like him.

The flag soldiers in the middle and lower classes were still a little stronger. They still had some expectations for this war and would not surrender voluntarily, but those Ahas were different. They were usually treated like slaves and had been resentful to Huang Taiji for a long time. It would be strange if they were not moved when they heard Sakhana shouting loudly on the city.

Haoge caught a few people discussing the matter privately and beheaded them directly. Then, no one dared to discuss it directly, but the anger in these people was like an active volcano, and there was a possibility of eruption at any time.

If Hauge can quickly take down Jinzhou City, he can completely suppress these problems. But the current situation is that he repeatedly ordered sieges and suffered countless troops, but he was unable to take them down.

Not only those Aha, but also many Qing soldiers began to murmur in their hearts, doubting whether Haoge could lead him to win this time. And after the defeat, whether he could earn a life from the Ming army. The scepticism spread among the Qing army and became increasingly fierce.

Sakhana's constant shouting received a direct effect, and some Aha fled in the Qing army. At first, there were only a few, but later more and more, they left the Qing army's ranks and went to Jinzhou City to surrender to the Ming army. The number of people was not large, but the impact was particularly great.

Later, not only those Aha, but also some Han soldiers in the Qing army began to flee.

The Ming army came without any rejection, put all these Ahas into the city, and used them to differentiate the morale of the Qing army. The continuous attacks and floating morale of the Qing army, both the morale and combat power of the Qing army were weakened to the extreme.

During this period, Zhou Xian sent the only 400 cavalry and 600 elite infantrymen in the city to attack out of the city. Although he was eventually repelled by the Qing army, he almost broke into the central army, which shows the depression and chaos of the Qing army's morale.

Of course, Hauge took some measures.

For example, he once sent a dead soldier to mingle with the surrender of Aha and wanted to enter the city to kill Sakhana. The city eventually mingled in, but after entering the city, he found that Zhou Xian sent a special person to protect him. The assassination failed and more than a dozen people were damaged, but he didn't even touch Sakhana's hair.

Later, Haoge picked out some loyal people from the Aha and promised to be profitable. He let them enter Jinzhou City, trying to seize the city gate at the right time, or cause riots directly in the city.

But when these people entered the city, their weapons were immediately confiscated, and the city strictly controlled the weapons. They had no chance to obtain weapons at all and did not launch them. And most importantly, the Ming army provided them with food, water and clothes for them, but completely controlled them in one place, limiting their freedom.

In the end, someone couldn't bear it and took the initiative to report the matter to the Ming army. Dozens of people who had infiltrated, but none of them escaped, and were all beheaded by Ming army Qing.

If you fail to get ahead of your wits, Haoge can only suppress the anger in his heart through strong attacks and use it to boost morale.

But slowly, looking at the self-army whose losses continued to increase, he suddenly realized that the Ming army seemed to be deliberately using Sakhana to anger him.

They guarded Jinzhou City and suffered far less losses than the siege troops. This kind of tactic like adding fuel has no effect except for the unnecessary damage to the soldiers.

After all the considerations, Hauge finally ordered the suspension of the attack and retreated the entire army five miles away again to avoid Sakhana's shouts. At the same time, he also strengthened the constraints of his soldiers and directly killed those who dared to escape without any tolerance.

In addition, Haoge also ordered the red-clothed cannons to fire several cannons every day. The shells crossed the city wall and exploded in the city. Some houses were hit and turned into ruins, and some unlucky guys were injured and killed. However, this loss could basically be ignored for the Ming army in the city.

Later, Zhou Xian discovered that Haoge wanted to use these cannon sounds to boost morale of his army! He bluffed and pulled the big flag, which was also the helpless choice of the Qing army after the attack failed. He could only smile at this, feeling that his counterattack was getting closer and closer.

But the incident of Haoge's suspension of siege aroused strong dissatisfaction from Abatai. He attacked Jinzhou City on that day, and the soldiers were killed and injured. Even he was shot in his shoulder and fell directly from the top of the city. If it weren't for Gao Xinzhong's protection, he might have been a corpse at this moment. Now his anger towards Zhou Xian exceeded everything, and he wished he could attack the city and slaughter all the people in the city. But Haoge was afraid to fight like this, how could he win?

Abatai has a tough personality and has been directly confronted by Huang Taiji before. It was just because his mother was from a poor and humble background, and he himself had a very low status among Nurhaci's sons and could not threaten Huang Taiji's throne, so Huang Taiji was tolerant of him in many ways. He didn't even consider Huang Taiji's face, let alone the Haoge in front of him?

He went to the tent of the Haoge Central Army to make a big fuss, full of momentum.

Haoge had no choice but to explain slowly to him and promised to take out his three Niulu's full flag soldiers after the war to supplement his losses. Abatai was angry and made another profit, so he stopped making trouble.
