Chapter 454 The mind of King Zhishun
Am I a hero to the people?
In the Lingguan Hall, his wife Gao Guiying's words made Li Zicheng unable to calm down for a long time.
Outside the Lingguan Hall, the soldiers of the Shun Army representing the Han regime and the former Ming army representing the Manchu alien regime are still fighting with their lives, while the Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners soldiers with flags waving in the distance are watching the battle.
King Zhishun Shang Kexi was also watching the battle. His troops were not as many as Wu Sangui, with only more than 5,000 people.
Geng Zhongming, the king of Huaishun who returned to the capital with Prince Yu Duoduo, had similar military strength to Shang Kexi, but the King Kong Shun who died in Shandong was a soldier alone. Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming's troops were all affiliated with the Eight Banners of the Han army.
The Shang tribe was the Han army's Inlaid Blue Banner, and the Geng tribe was the Han army's Zhenghuang Banner.
However, he was anxious to watch the battle with the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers and was eager to see Wu Sangui's troops break the city. Shang Kexi's face was extremely dead and ugly.
The same was true for his generals Xu Erxian, Ban Zhifu, Jiang Dingguo and others. They were all absent-minded and had no intention of watching the fight in front of them, but instead gathered to whisper.
"Prince, the Manchus concealed such a big deal and didn't tell the prince what they were thinking!" Shang Kexi's general, Jia Laezhen, Lian Decheng, looked at the Manchu camp in the distance with hatred. If it weren't for the family members who escaped from Liaodong who risked their lives to report the matter in Haizhou City, they would still be covered in bones.
Shang Kexi did not make any statement, but just kept his face tense.
"Prince, we can still hold on to this matter for a while now. It won't take long for the people below to know that the relationship between this matter is very strong, but the people below may not know that if the trouble begins, the people below will be difficult to deal with."
What Lian Decheng was most worried about was that the officers and soldiers below knew that their family members would be shaken, and they would really not be able to suppress them at that time. If someone took the opportunity to incite them, it would be hard to say that thousands of people would rebel on the spot. Maybe many generals could rebel.
After all, how many wives and children, parents, wives and children, sons, fathers, and husbands can be cruel to refuse.
Shang Kexi still looked gloomy and didn't say a word.
Lian Decheng wanted to say something, and he said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Huai thieves not only sent troops to attack Shengjing, but also sent troops to attack Beijing. Duoduo was urgently transferred back by Dorgon because of the tight capital. Judging from this situation, even if Li Zicheng died in Xinye, the Manchus were afraid that it would not be possible to seize China easily, and they would even."
"What else?"
Shang Ke's eyebrows moved.
Lian Decheng said boldly: "The last general means that this Manchu may not end up with Li Chuang. In Shandong, the Manchus were defeated miserably. Haoge and Kong Youde nearly 10,000 people were called to be wiped out by the Huai bandits. Now the Huai bandits have the ability to cross the sea to fight Shengjing and go north to fight Beijing. No matter how you look at it, the Huai bandits are not weaker than Li Zicheng."
Still happy and thoughtful.
Guo Hu, the deputy general who had been standing beside Shang Kexi, hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Prince, the person we escaped said that although the Huai thieves captured our people, they did not kill anyone. Instead, they were very polite to the princess and the prince, and moved our people to Shandong. I think the Huai thieves seemed to want to make friends with the prince."
Shang Kexi was a little unhappy: "Do you want me to change to the Huai thief?"
"That's not what Mo Jiang means. The Mo Jiang just said that the prince has to think about the people below."
Before Guo Hu finished speaking, he was scolded by Shang Kexi: "Enough, do you think I am not thinking about the soldiers? Do you think I must be abdicated? But we have only a few people. Prince Ying is obviously wary of us. If you really want to act rashly, the entire army will be wiped out. What are your wives and children if you die!"
Lian Decheng and Guo Hu looked at each other and dared not say anything again.
Shang Kexi calmed down, looked at the city of Xinye and said, "It seems that Wu Sangui can't take it down," he turned around and asked Guo Hu, "When will the artillery team come?"
"The artillery team probably has arrived at the Fushui Castle in Shangnan, and the general has sent someone to urge him."
"So many cannons and the road is so difficult to walk, what's the use of urging?"
Shang Kexi waved his hand, looked at the Manchu camp, and said lightly: "If the prince sends someone to ask, he will say that it will take a few days."
After saying that, he didn't go to see how Wu Sangui's troops fought and turned around and returned to his own tent.
Leave some understanding Lian Decheng and Guo Hu
Many generals from Wu Sangui can no longer hold back.
Everyone knows that as long as the city wall is broken, the huge thief Li Zicheng will die, but the tenacity of the Shun Army exceeded their imagination, and the huge casualties of their side exceeded their psychological expectations. If they are fought against the trapped beasts like Shun Army, even if the city is broken, the Guanning Army will be over.
"Prince, let's withdraw your troops. If we continue to fight, we will all be wiped out!"
"Prince, stop the troops!"
""
Wu Sangui was very hesitant when the generals persuaded him. He wanted to withdraw his troops, but he was afraid that the Manchus would not agree. When he was worried, someone shouted: "Go up, attack!"
Everyone looked at it and found that someone had indeed climbed the city. After seeing it, they found that the first person to climb the city was Hu Xinshui, the leader of Zuoying.
Hu Xinshui and Xia Longshan led Wu Sangui's personal soldiers and left and right camps respectively. The two of them and Wu Sangui were both in-laws and relatives.
Hu Xinshui's son Hu Guozhu and Xia Longshan's son Xia Guoxiang are both teenagers. Wu Sangui likes his two sons in particular, so he made his two daughters forgive him at the beginning of the year, and just waited for his two daughters to get married.
As an important general of the Wu army, Hu Xinshui climbed up to the city wall in a chain mail and protected him with a round shield in front of him to avoid the spear of the Shun Army beside the clamp. When he found that there was no Shun Army beside the clamp, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic and waved his long sword and rushed towards the Shun Army in the clamp next to him.
Unexpectedly, a Shun General rushed out from behind the cliff. The Shun General held the axe in one hand, and the roar in his mouth was louder than Hu Xinshui. Hu Xinshui was stunned and subconsciously waved his knife to chop. However, Shun General was faster than him, and the big axe had already chopped into his chest.
Hu Xinshui hurriedly raised his knife to block it. Before the knife was raised, his body was hit by a big axe. He flew back with the man and the knife. He fell to the ground with a "thump", which made him dizzy.
Before I could understand what was going on, I heard the sound of rapid footsteps in my ears, and at the same time, several knives slashed at my neck... When my head rolled down, my eyes were wide open, and I really couldn't bear to die.
The one who killed Hu Xinshui was General Zuo Guoyi, General Xie Junyou, the front camp of the Shun Army Imperial Camp. The front camp was the personal camp of Li Zicheng's imperial camp, the elite of the Shun Army's elite.
Xie Junyou followed Li Zicheng to rebel at the age of 17, and became a senior general in Dashun with his bravery.
Hu Xinshui's killing made the Qing army lose the opportunity to break the city, and his morale was also blew.
