Huang Taiji made arrangements very quickly. In a short time, he found a dozen people with loud voices, and soon they ran to the gates of Shenyang City and started yelling.
"Ming dogs are all cowards, a bunch of nikans who are as cheap as mud, especially the one named He Shixian, he is a coward!"
Although they were a bit far apart, their curses were still heard by many Ming soldiers. Although He Shixian didn't hear clearly, he knew that Jian Nu must have nothing good to say.
He is so angry now, how can he withstand Jiannu's provocation? Moreover, he has long wanted to fight in the city, but he has been blocked by Jin Yiwei and You Shigong at every turn, so he has no chance.
He took two gulps of wine, put on his armor, and ordered his servants to move away the huge trees and heavy rocks at the city gate, preparing to go out and kill.
"General, no, once you leave the city, you will be disobeying the holy and military orders. I'm afraid the general will be imprisoned by then!"
He Shixian was already annoyed, and a small general couldn't persuade him at all. He kicked the general away and went straight down the city towards his horse.
"Quick, go and notify General You!"
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw that the soldiers were still unmoved and immediately said angrily:
"What? You don't even listen to my general's military orders?"
The gatekeeper handed the boss over and said:
"General, General You and the Jin Yiwei have strict orders not to open the city gate, otherwise military law will be imposed!"
"This general is the chief military officer of Shenyang. You Shigong is just a general. If you dare to disobey this general's orders, you will be punished by military law now!"
When the guard sergeant heard this, he didn't dare to say anything more and had no choice but to open the door.
He Shixian learned the lesson this time and did not hesitate. He gathered more than 400 of his servants and left the city directly.
When You Shigong and Jin Yiwei arrived, He Shixian had already left the city and everything was too late.
You Shigong said angrily:
"Oh, He Shixian has done something bad!"
The Jin Yiwei had no time to care whether He Shixian was alive or dead. He immediately took out the gold medal and ordered the Ming army to close the city gate again.
Although You Shigong hated He Shixian for disobeying military orders, the two of them had fought together for many years. He immediately said:
"No, if the city gate is closed, how will they come back later?"
Jinyiwei Baihu snorted coldly and said:
"Even if he comes back, he will inevitably die. He will die anyway. It is better to let him kill a few more slaves. I have the gold medal of His Majesty's handwriting here. Anyone else wants to imitate He Shixian who resisted the order. I will kill him now." he!"
You Shigong was not the brainless reckless man like He Shixian. Seeing Jin Yiwei's resolute attitude, he could only wish He Shixian in his heart that he would survive.
After the city gate was closed again, hundreds of households immediately shouted:
"Who is the goalkeeper?"
The boss immediately stepped forward and said:
"it's me!"
"Disobeying military orders and opening the city gate without authorization is even more sinister. I think you are the spy of the wild boar skin!"
This boss immediately cried out that he was wronged and said:
"Baihu misunderstood. It was General He who forced me to open the city gate with a knife. I was forced to open the city gate. Please be aware of it!"
And those hundred households had to establish their military prestige today. If every one of them really ignored the military order, Shenyang would definitely lose. What's more, His Majesty had expressly ordered this, and he had warned them again and again, so they dared to be so bold.
Baihu shouted:
"Behead him!"
The boss became anxious upon hearing this, drew out his sword and shouted:
"Whoever dares to come here, I will chop him with a knife!"
"Brothers, the Jin Yiwei has harmed the loyal and good, falsely preached the Holy Will, and now they are killing good people indiscriminately. Brothers, you must make the decision for me!"
Baihu said to You Shigong, who had a dark face:
"General You, you are really a well-trained soldier."
You Shigong reacted immediately and ordered:
"Spread rumors, confuse the morale of the army, and capture him quickly!"
More than a dozen of You Shigong's servants rushed forward fiercely. They were no match for this one, and they were quickly captured.
Jinyiwei Baihu also loosened his grip. He glanced at a small flag, and the small flag understood and left quietly.
Under You Shigong's scolding, people's hearts were finally suppressed, and calm returned to the city.
What they didn't know was that the Jin Yiwei in the city began to gather quickly. They were originally responsible for inspecting the arsenal and grain depot in the city, but at this time there was a faint sign of instability in the city, and they could not care so much.
After He Shixian led his servants out of the city, the slaves who had insulted and called the formation saw that they had taken the bait and immediately went to the ambush site.
But He Shixian was so drunk and angry that he didn't notice it at all. Instead, he thought the speed was too slow and whipped his horse several times to speed it up.
After running for several miles, the slaves were already far away. When He Shixian saw a narrow mountain road, he also noticed that something was wrong and ordered to turn around unwillingly.
But at this time, Mang Gurtai's Zhenglan Banner had already outflanked him from behind. He Shixian shouted that he had been tricked, but it was no use. He only held on to a few hundred servants, facing thousands of Jiannu Banners. Less than a quarter of an hour.
He Shixian's entire army was wiped out, and Mang Gurtai also got his wish and beheaded He Shixian with his own hands.
As soon as He Shixian died, Nuerhachi and the Eight Banners Army were full of confidence. In their eyes, Shenyang was already within their grasp. Nuerhaci immediately ordered a fierce attack on Shenyang!
"He Shixian's dog head is here. Listen to the smart dogs in the city. Open the city and surrender as soon as possible. The Khan will save you from death. Otherwise, after the city is broken, no chickens or dogs will be left!"
When the Ming troops on the city saw that what Jiannu was carrying was indeed the head of their general, they were all frightened. Seeing this, You Shigong quickly ordered the firing of cannons.
Seeing that persuading surrender was ineffective, Jiannu also began to attack the city. This time Nuerhaci wanted to break the city in one fell swoop, so he also invested enough capital.
In addition to the Han military camp and Baoyi Aha, he also ordered two blue flags and a red flag to be raised together, and nearly 40,000 people, under the cover of shields, pushed ladders and siege engines forward.
The offensive and defensive battle of Shenyang City has officially begun. Jiannu still uses the same old tactics. In everything, the puppet army charges first. After the puppet army has finished charging Bao Yi, they will charge. After Bao Yi has finished charging Aha, they will charge level by level. And the most elite ones will charge. The white-armored soldiers and flag soldiers were watching the show in the back.
The Ming army, under the command of You Shigong and the supervision of the Jin Yiwei, was also very organized. The artillery fired in succession, and the musketeers were divided into three teams and fired in rotation.
The crossbowmen were shooting behind them, while others were burning gold juice and carrying supplies.
Jiannu's first round of attacks was extremely fierce, and even climbed to the top of the city several times. The Ming army almost failed to hold on for a while, because the Ming army in Shenyang was only 30,000 at full strength, and Shenyang was so big, it was impossible for the Ming army to only have 30,000 soldiers. Stay here.
The Ming army only had a few thousand men here, but Jian Nu concentrated tens of thousands of troops to attack one area. If You Shigong hadn't ordered a fight to the death, Jian Nu would have almost been rushed forward.
The first wave of the offensive lasted for an hour. Basically all the puppet troops were killed, Baoyi Aha was also maimed, and even the Jiannu armored soldiers suffered nearly 3,000 casualties.
But as reinforcements from the Ming army arrived one after another, they were finally repulsed.
