Chapter 1420 Empress Song: But no matter how I get promoted to a higher position... (please vote for me!)
next day
A line of fish-belly white appears in the east, and the summer morning breeze blows the wheat seedlings on the earth, bringing endless coolness.
When the sky is bright, golden morning rays of light burst out from the clouds in the sky.
At this moment, the Han army launched another attack on Jinzhou City, heading towards the towering Jinzhou City in the distance.
Because of the previous battle, the Jurchen soldiers and horses did not come out from the inner room to repair and reinforce the collapsed city wall.
In fact, there was no time to repair and reinforce it because the fighting was so fierce.
At this moment, a large number of Han troops once again entered the inner city through the outer city. The Hongyi artillery was pushed over by the soldiers from the Beijing camp and bombarded the inner city in the distance.
"boom!!!"
Along with the rumble of the Hongyi cannons, thick smoke could be seen billowing from the cannons, and the inner city was suddenly exposed to the artillery fire of the Han army.
At this moment, Jurchen soldiers poured out from the city gate and started a desperate fight with the Han army.
Dorgon had obviously understood that he could only huddle his soldiers in the city and let the Han army suppress them with artillery fire. It was better to fight the Han army in the city in the field, so as to give full play to the combat strength advantage of the Eight Banners soldiers.
In this battle, the Han army was undoubtedly more energetic than yesterday. In other words, after learning that Mu Sheng had won a great victory and captured the city of Hetuala, the morale of the Han army was greatly boosted.
Within an hour, the Jurchen soldiers were pressing against the inner city wall.
Dorgon was standing on the city gate tower at this moment, looking at the battle situation below, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.
The Qing Dynasty is really over.
On this side, Cao Bianjiao led his cavalry to fight with Azige's soldiers and horses.
At this moment, Jia Heng did not lead a group of Ma Bian to charge into the battle. Instead, he held a telescope in his hand and observed the battle situation.
Chen Xiao put down the monocular, and under his eyebrows, his bright eyes flickered, and he whispered: "The Jurchens can't hold on any longer."
Jia Heng nodded and said in a deep voice: "Let the Chinese army press forward! Step up the offensive and completely defeat the Jurchen soldiers and horses."
Chen Xiao responded, and then ordered the guards of Jinyi Palace to launch a massive attack on the city.
At this moment, as Jia Heng's order was conveyed, more than 10,000 elite soldiers and horses from the Han Army's Central Army were thrown into Jinzhou City, adding another weight to the Han Army's combat power.
This move undoubtedly put greater pressure on the Jurchen soldiers and horses in the city.
"Dong dong..."
At this moment, the sound of cowhide drums was like raindrops, deafening and making people panic.
The Jurchen soldiers in the city could no longer hold up under the continuous Han army's offensive. In other words, under the continuous fierce attack of the Han army, they were already like an overwhelmed camel, with only the last straw left.
At this moment, Cao Bianjiao and several Beijing camp generals were besieging Azig. The long sword in his palm was pointed at him, and the sharp blade was like a ray of moonlight, heading towards Azig.
On the upper floor of the inner city gate, Dorgon saw this dangerous scene and couldn't help but feel anxious. He ordered the general beside him and said loudly: "Go down and help the Prince of England."
When the general heard this, he said yes, and then walked away quickly.
Under Dorgon's thick eyebrows, his eyes were deep, but he couldn't help but think of Azig's previous proposal, which was to withdraw his troops and return to Shengjing City.
Otherwise, if this continues, the whole army will be wiped out sooner or later. It is better to take away 40,000 to 50,000 people and rush back to Shengjing City.
At this moment, there are still 70,000 to 80,000 Jurchen soldiers in the city, relying on the inner city and city walls to fight the Han army. As time goes by, the number of soldiers is decreasing sharply.
In this battle, because both sides fought bloody battles in narrow streets, it offset the Han army's strength advantage to a certain extent.
It was equivalent to the Han army being completely unable to deploy its troops.
Therefore, it was not until night fell and the bright moon was in the sky that the Han army gradually evacuated the city, leaving only corpses and broken swords and guns scattered in the streets and alleys of the inner and outer cities.
After these few days of attacks, the morale of the Jurchens, who had suffered heavy casualties, had dropped to the extreme at this moment.
What is particularly serious is that as time passed, the Jurchen soldiers began to suspect that the old village in Hetuala City had fallen into the hands of the Han army.
The bright moon hangs in the sky, and the moonlight falls silently on the earth.
Jinzhou City, among the government offices——
Dorgon and Azig were sitting across a table from each other. The two of them were already frowning, and their faces were full of gloom.
Azig suddenly said: "Withdraw the troops."
It is impossible not to withdraw the troops now. If this continues, once Jinzhou City is defeated, Shengjing City will be unable to withstand it. If we withdraw to Shengjing and rely on the strength of Shengjing City, we may still be able to fight the Han army until the winter.
Dorgon's face was also full of solemnity, and he said: "We can no longer hold on, we need to return to Shengjing to aid."
Seeing Dorgon's change of tone, Azig said: "Fourteenth brother, I will stay in the city tomorrow. You can take your troops and horses and leave the city overnight to go to Shengjing."
Upon hearing this, Dorgon looked at Azig and said, "Brother, you take your troops and horses and I will guard Jinzhou City."
At this moment, Dorgon treated Azig as an elder brother.
Azig shook his head and said: "The Qing Dynasty can be without Azige, but it cannot be without Dorgon. If the fourteenth brother leaves, if Shengjing cannot be defended, please remember the words of the Han people, keep the green hills.
Don’t worry about running out of firewood.”
After thinking for a while, he said in a low voice: "My great ancestor, Thirteen Armors, has raised an army. As long as my fourteenth brother works hard, the glory of my Aisin Gioro clan will be restored in the future."
When Dorgon heard this, he closed his eyes slightly and sighed: "I am a sinner of the Aixinjueluo clan."
After the Qing Dynasty's country and country were handed over to him, the situation deteriorated day by day.
Azig was also silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
On the other side, in the camp five miles away from Jinzhou City, at this moment, lights were everywhere, people roared and horses neighed.
Jia Heng was having dinner with Chen Xiao at the moment.
Chen Xiao showed a thoughtful look on his face and said: "When we were attacking the city in the daytime, I saw that the Jurchen Eight Banners seemed unable to resist, and we were just short of the last fire."
Jia Heng nodded and whispered: "It's just in the past few days."
If it weren't for the fact that the troops in the city couldn't be deployed, the Jurchens' troops would have collapsed and scattered, and they wouldn't have been so trapped in a war of attrition.
Jia Heng suppressed his thoughts, a look of determination appeared in his eyes, and said: "I think Dorgon may abandon the city and leave."
"Abandon the city and leave?" Chen Xiao frowned, shaving his eyebrows with willow leaves, and a look of surprise appeared in his bright eyes.
Jia Heng's eyes were fierce and he explained: "Otherwise, nearly 100,000 Jurchen warriors will be consumed by our Han army and lost in this battle. It is very uneconomical. With Dorgon's resourcefulness, he will probably think of cutting off his tail to survive.
"
Under Chen Xiao's eyebrows, his bright eyes flashed and he asked: "What are you going to do?"
"Let people watch and charge with the cavalry." Jia Heng said in a low voice.
Chen Xiao nodded and said: "We have sent people to keep an eye on it, but Dorgon will definitely send people to cut off the rear."
Jia Heng said: "Keep as many as you can. If there are no accidents, the defender of the inner city of Jinzhou City will probably be Azig."
Chen Xiao thought thoughtfully and said: "Once the troops are divided, the city of Jinzhou will be destroyed in a matter of seconds."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "That's about it."
In this way, once Jinzhou is reached, the army rests for a few days, approaches Shengjing City, and encircles Shengjing. The war will probably end before the year?
The couple talked and then took a rest.
At the fourth watch, a guard in Jinyi called Jia Heng who was sleeping in the tent outside, with a hint of panic and urgency in his voice.
Jia Heng stood up and whispered: "What's going on?"
The Jinyi palace guard raised his hands and reported back: "Captain, there seems to be some movement in Jinzhou City."
Jia Heng narrowed his eyes, turned to look at Chen Xiao who had put on his clothes and came out of his sleeping tent, and said: "Dorgon has taken action, he is about to escape."
Chen Xiao immediately made a decision: "Select a general from the Beijing camp and lead the troops to intercept and kill them."
In this case, it is not necessary to completely retain all of Dorgon's troops, but it is enough to retain some of them.
Jia Heng nodded and said to the guards of Jinyi Mansion: "Here, call Cao Bianjiao."
This kind of pursuit of the remnant enemy must be left to Cao Bianjiao.
After a while, Cao Bianjiao came forward in a hurry, cupped his fists and said, "Commander."
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "The Jurchen soldiers in the city have left the city. It may be that Dorgon left with his troops. General Cao immediately led his cavalry soldiers to chase them."
Under Cao Bianjiao's thick eyebrows, a look of determination seemed to emerge from his aggressive and gleaming tiger eyes, and he said: "Don't worry, Commander, I will go to pursue you now."
Jia Heng watched Cao Bianjiao turn and leave, then turned to look at Chen Xiao aside and said, "Tomorrow the army will assemble and capture Jinzhou City."
Although I don’t know how many soldiers and horses were evacuated from Jinzhou City, but faced with the heavy siege of our Han Dynasty, Jinzhou City simply cannot withstand it.
The two of them talked and returned to the bed tent to sleep.
With the sound of horse hoofs clicking, Cao Bianjiao led a large number of cavalry soldiers to pursue Dorgon.

Shenjing City, Palace Garden, Kunning Palace
Emperor Chongping was really not in good health during this period, so he did not go to the inner study to handle the government affairs, and temporarily handed over the government affairs to the cabinet.
For example, Li Zan, the first assistant in the cabinet, and Gao Zhongping, the second assistant, were both famous ministers of the generation. When they handled the government affairs, they were almost in an orderly manner.
Emperor Chongping held a thin blue-covered book of Three Kingdoms in his hand, lowered his eyes to read it, and murmured in a low voice: "Kong Ming came out of Qishan on the 6th day, but in the end he fell short, which is really sad."
At this time, Empress Song was holding a blue and white porcelain tea cup and said in a low voice with a thin and gentle voice: "Your Majesty, I have cooked some red dates and glutinous rice porridge to replenish Your Majesty's energy and blood."
I don’t know if it was the previous guilty gods that made this beauty feel particularly guilty for the emperor lying on the bed in front of her, and she planned to take good care of the emperor in the last days of his life.
Emperor Chongping put the blue-covered book in his hand on the small table beside him and said, "Zitong, this storybook by Ziyu is really wonderful."
Under the beautiful eyebrows of the Empress of the Song Dynasty, her beautiful eyes were as moist as clear water. She smiled and said: "Your Majesty, after eating this bowl, it will not be too late to read this book again."
Emperor Chongping nodded and said: "When Master Ziyu returns to Beijing, I will ask him to write a few more similar storybooks."
After Liaodong was pacified, Ziyu had better rest for a few years and then write some storybooks.
Empress Song nodded slightly, but did not take Emperor Chongping's words seriously. She sat nearby, picked up the soup bowl, scooped up the rice porridge, and handed it to Emperor Chongping's lips.
Emperor Chongping opened his mouth, took a bite of the gruel from the spoon, chewed it gently, and said with a smile: "Zitong's craftsmanship is getting better and better."
Empress Song smiled and said: "I have been cooking this porridge for many years, and my skills have improved somewhat."
Just when the couple was immersed in all kinds of warmth and sweetness, there were sudden bursts of brisk footsteps outside, and it was none other than Dai Quan.
Dai Quan was dressed in a red python suit and a black mountain crown on his head. He walked around a bamboo-patterned mountain and river screen, and his fair and beardless face seemed to be covered with a hint of joy.
"Your Majesty, Duke Wei's flying pigeon is delivering a message." Dai Quan approached and whispered.
Even if the military report is six hundred miles away, it is not so fast. The only way is the flying pigeon of Jinyi Mansion Guards' secret spy system.
Emperor Chongping was shocked when he heard this. He quickly put the porridge bowl aside, looked at Dai Quan and said, "Bring it over and show it to me."
Dai Quan bowed forward, passed the general with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty."
Emperor Chongping almost stretched out his hand to grab the military newspaper and finished reading it. His pupils shrank and his voice was full of excitement as he said: "The city of Hetuala was destroyed?"
Emperor Chongping certainly knew where the Jurchen city of Hetuala was. It was the Jurchen's home base. Before the Shengjing City was captured, the Jurchens were entrenched in Hetuala.
Queen Song smiled and asked: "Your Majesty, has Ziyu won another battle?"
Emperor Chongping's sunken cheeks showed a strange flush, and he said: "The city of Hetuala has been destroyed, and the old nest in Liaodong has been destroyed by our Han soldiers and horses."
The empress of Song Dynasty, with her fragrant skin and fragrant skin, couldn't help but smile and said in a clear voice: "That's really gratifying and congratulatory."
Emperor Chongping's heart was agitated, and his voice could not hide his excitement, and he said: "I heard that this was run by an unknown lieutenant under Mu Sheng. Of course, if Ziyu hadn't attracted the power of the Goddess in Jinzhou, I'm afraid that this attack on the city would have been carried out from behind.
, and it’s simply impossible.”
Queen Song asked: "Zi Yu is in Jinzhou now?"
Emperor Chongping said: "There is the main force of the Jurchens in Jinzhou City, and Ziyu is confronting them. This battle is the key to our ability to destroy the Jurchens."
Queen Chunshan of the Song Dynasty had a look of infatuation in her beautiful eyes.
It seems that the little fox will come back soon, and this time he should be able to become the county king.
But no matter how he was promoted to a higher rank, it would not be as high as the son she gave birth to, huh...
…

Liaodong, Jinzhou City
next day
The sky is bright, and strands of golden sunlight shine on the eastern sky, and the eaves of the houses seem to be covered with a layer of golden and red gauze.
A large number of Han soldiers poured out from the military camp, and headed towards Jinzhou City under the leadership of the generals from the Beijing camp.
In Jinzhou City, Azig led his 30,000 soldiers, and some of them were gathered in the inner city. On the one hand, they were trying to fight with the incoming Han army in the streets and alleys.
"Dong dong..."
At this time, the sound of drums sounded, deafening and shocking.
A large number of Han knights wearing red uniforms and black armor stormed towards Jinzhou City.
The shouts of killing shook the sky at this moment and spread far and wide.
Azig did not go into battle this time, but urged,
At this moment, Jia Heng and Chen Xiao were riding maroon horses and looking at the situation in the city with a monocular telescope.
"Use Hongyi cannon to bombard the inner city."
Following Jia Heng's order, a large number of soldiers from the Beijing camp pushed red cannons and bombarded the city wall. Amidst the billowing smoke, cannonballs landed on the city wall one after another, and when they exploded, many painful groans were heard.
Voices.
"Rumble..."
The black Hongyi cannons were firing continuously at the city wall at this moment.
After a while, the inner city was also under heavy shelling, with craters appearing and seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
However, because the inner city was not soaked by the flood, its tolerance was significantly higher, and it did not appear to collapse at this moment.
Jia Heng frowned and said: "Send more troops, and whoever reaches the top of the city first will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold."
As Jia Heng's order was passed on, the morale that had been a little low suddenly became more encouraging.
The soldiers of the Han army fought bravely to take the lead and fought towards the top of the city.
The Han soldiers below also fought with the Eight Banners. The shouts of killing, the sound of swords slapping into flesh, and the sounds of pain one after another were intertwined at this moment.
By the afternoon, the Jurchen soldiers and horses could no longer resist and frequently lost ground on the city. A large number of Han soldiers had already boarded the city to clear out the Jurchens.
At this moment, Azige's face was gloomy. He picked up a steel knife in his hand, summoned dozens of horse beddings, got off the city, and charged towards the Han army.
"Dangdang..."
Azig is worthy of being the most powerful Jurchen general. Even if he is besieged by generals at the level of commander of the twelve regiments and battalions, he is still not afraid at all.
The Han generals and generals were surrounding him like a revolving lantern, but the sword in his hand was sweeping back and forth, no one could compare with him.
Jia Heng was holding a monocular telescope and looking from a distance, saying, "Bring my knife."
After a while, Jinyi's guard carried a long knife. Jia Heng reached out to take it. He turned to look at Chen Xiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, you hold the military formation while I meet this Jurchen captive king."
Chen Xiao nodded, his face paused slightly, and he warned: "Be careful in everything."
Jia Heng didn't say much, and headed to Jinzhou City accompanied by a group of personal guards.
At this moment, Azig was holding a long knife and was killing everyone.
At this moment, Azig felt something in his heart and suddenly looked back. He saw in the distance like a sea of fire spread out, a young man in a python suit riding a maroon horse, holding a sharp long knife in his hand.
Under the retinue of all the generals, they marched forward.
"Child Jia Heng!" Azig almost gritted his teeth. Under his thick eyebrows, his tiger eyes were filled with evil energy.
Azig's younger brother Duduo died at the hands of Jia Heng, and then Jia Heng single-handedly contributed to the current situation in which the Jurchen clan is about to collapse.
It can be said that the hatred is so overwhelming that it is difficult to express it.
Jia Heng snorted coldly and said, "The thief shall die!"
With that said, the retinue of the personal guards came up on horseback. The long sword in their palms looked like streaks of moonlight, and they volleyed towards Azig in the air.
"clang……"
Azig raised the long knife in his palm and blocked it upward.
The swords clashed and sparks shot out.
Under Azige's thick eyebrows, his face was shaken and he said: "Jia Heng, please accept your fate!"
At this moment, when the surrounding Han generals saw Jia Heng coming here, they no longer besieged Azig. Instead, they led their elite troops to fight against the soldiers in all directions.
Azig and Jia Heng fought together, with horses from both sides revolving around non-stop.
Although Jia Heng rarely went into battle personally, as he grew older, his strength gradually reached its peak, and his martial arts gradually reached its peak.
At this moment, the extremely sharp long knife in his palm was like a storm, firmly locking Azig's various dodges.
As time passed, Azig felt sweat oozing out from his back, he was reeling from left to right, completely unable to withstand the endless force of the sword.
At this moment, Azig was in a trance and felt the sharp sword energy. Without saying a word, he quickly trembled and dodged to the side.
Suddenly, I felt a pain in my arm. It was obvious that the knife suddenly moved downwards and chopped down on my arm.
"Pfft..."
But when a flash of blood suddenly appeared, an arm rose into the sky.
Azig's arm was in severe pain, and he roared, "Child."
Jia Heng shouted angrily and said loudly: "Suffer death!"
Among the three Dorgon brothers, Duduo has already gone to hell, and now only Azig and Dorgon are left. Now this one should also return to his throne.
Feeling that the evil wind was not good, Azige couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He held the long knife in his palm to meet the attack, and hurriedly turned his horse away.
The surrounding cavalry generals also came quickly and tried their best to save him.
