The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 117 The Real Fear

It didn't take long for Dodo to make a decision.

Many people have heard Bai Mu's words, and many of them are people who do not belong to the two brothers and the two white flags.

This time he was ordered by Huang Taiji to rescue the princess, which was the main purpose of his dispatch of troops this time.No matter what pettiness they have in their brothers' hearts, the princess's life is more important than anything else on the bright side.

If the princess of the Qing Dynasty died on the spot because of his refusal to compromise, then not only would he be punished by Huang Taiji, but Hauge and others would definitely attack the prince Dorgon and himself because of this matter. .At that time, without the support of Huang Taiji, their brothers will most likely follow the old path of A Min and the other three Baylors.

Moreover, exchanging the lives of three hundred Ming pariahs for the life of the Qing princess is a very good deal in itself.

It doesn't matter if there are no three hundred Ming pariahs.Let the cannon fodder of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty go there. Anyway, as long as the dead are not Manchurian warriors, Doduo will certainly not feel bad.

"Stupid guy, a bunch of untouchables, but they value it so much? A woman's benevolence is hard to achieve. Let her go." Duoduo sneered and ordered.

Soon, the Qing soldiers guarding the [-] Ming people cut the ropes that tied the people's hands and withdrew a certain distance.

The people who survived the catastrophe couldn't believe it at first. No one dared to move, and they looked at each other in horror. Most of them thought that the Qing army was going to drive them away and attack the city.

It wasn't until a group of armored swordsmen poured out from the city gate to welcome them into the city that these people woke up like a dream and realized that they had escaped from the clutches of the Qing soldiers. Guarded by armored swordsmen, they entered the city in a panic.

Of course, this team of armored soldiers was part of Jiangchuan's personal guard battalion. Firstly, it was to support the people, and secondly, it was to prevent the Qing soldiers from taking the opportunity to rob the city gate.

It wasn't until all the people entered the city safely that the personal guard camp slowly entered the city on guard, the city gate was closed, and the suspension bridge was raised again.

Seeing that the Qing army did not take the opportunity to seize the city from the beginning to the end, Jiang Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief.It seems that I used this trick correctly, I didn't expect this captive princess to be so easy to use.

In Duo Duo's eyes, the life of a princess is worth the lives of thousands of Ming people.But in Jiang Chuan's eyes, thousands of princesses are not as good as these three hundred Ming people can bring him.

Not to mention anything else, through today's event, these three hundred people will definitely be grateful to me and sincerely attach themselves.The most direct benefit is that Jiang Chuan has an additional 300 population, which is used in military strength, that is, he has an additional [-] quota for expansion.

Seeing that the people who were about to die tragically under the city regained their vitality, everyone on the top of the city breathed a sigh of relief, even Princess Yatu of the Qing Dynasty, who had a sharp knife hanging above her head, completely relaxed, and her whole body softened all of a sudden. to the ground.

It can be said that the person who cares most about the life and death of these people, besides Jiang Chuan, is her.Because it is directly related to her life.

She could tell from Jiang Chuan's eyes and words that if Uncle Duoduo didn't let him go, he would definitely kill herself on the spot.This man is a man of his word. Although this is the second time they meet, the woman's intuition tells Yatu that this is the case.

"Take it down, and take care of it." Jiang Chuan glanced at her and said expressionlessly.

Guan Bao and Yang Chuliu walked down the city with Yatu on their shoulders.

When passing by Jiang Chuan, Yatu tried his best to open his eyes wide and looked at his back, biting his lips tightly, the emotions in his eyes were complicated and difficult to understand, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Congratulations, my lord, Liu Ji really never thought that the matter could be resolved in this way. In this way, not only did the three hundred people be saved, but the lord's love for the people will become more widely known in the future, which will help us to gather more people in the future." It's good. It also let us know that the princess of the Qing Dynasty is so important, so it can make the Qing army use the mouse."

Liu Ji witnessed the whole process and sighed sincerely when he saw that the matter was resolved satisfactorily.

"This is a matter of one and the same. It is a good account to exchange the lives of three hundred Ming people for the life of a princess of the Qing Dynasty. Of course Dodo will not hesitate. But if we want to use her to force Dodo to retreat, it will be difficult." Naive. We wiped out thousands of Qing troops, captured Huang Taiji’s most valued cannon in red, and made a surprise attack on Liaoyang City, forcing the Qing army’s attack on Datong City to abort. The face of the wise Huang Taiji."

"Huang Taiji can be regarded as a hero of the generation. No matter how much he loves this daughter, he will not allow us to threaten her with a woman's life. Therefore, if Huang Taiji really fears us, then this battle must be fought , and must be beaten severely. Only by hurting Huang Taiji and letting him know that we are not as vulnerable as he imagined, can everyone have the possibility of negotiating, and he can truly fear us."

Jiang Chuan said slowly as he looked at the neat and orderly army below the city, with swords and guns like forests of Qing soldiers.

Liu Ji's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that the young protagonist himself would be so calm and calm, and he had a deep and clear understanding of the situation, not so naive.On the contrary, he was a little naive when he was happy for a while, which made him not only a little ashamed.

"My lord is wise and clear, but it's Liu Ji who has made waves." Liu Ji said with some embarrassment.

"Military commanders should not be self-effacing, it's just that they haven't had time to think about it. At present, the military commanders have to work hard to stabilize the valley." Jiang Chuan looked at Liu Ji and said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, my lord, Liu Ji will ensure that there will be no worries in the rear, and my lord can fight the Qing army with all my strength!" Liu Ji said solemnly, cupping his hands.

After speaking, Liu Ji took a few people down to the city.

And the drums of the Qing army below the city were still rumbling, and it was obvious that the siege of the city would soon begin.

There was also the sound of humming horns from the top of the city, and ten horn players blew the huge horns, reminding everyone that the defenders on the city were ready to fight the invading enemy to the death.

The phalanx of the Qing army under the city was also beating drums, stepping on the steps, chanting chant and slowly approaching the city wall.

The first wave of attack was the surrendered general of the Ming Dynasty, and now the headquarters led by Kong Youde, the owner of the Eight Banners of the Qing and Han Dynasties.

Kong Youde's troops were originally regular Ming Dynasty frontier troops, well equipped and battle-tested.After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji expressed great importance to them, and ordered to replenish them with weapons and equipment, food and supplies, and personally rewarded Kong Youde with a banquet. Make contributions.

Although Duduo was used as cannon fodder for the first round of siege, Kong Youde also had resentment in his heart, but he could only deal with it wholeheartedly under the eaves. The thieves know how powerful their cannon fodder is.

As the drumbeats became denser and faster, Kong Youde's troops approached the city wall faster and faster.

These Qing soldiers were officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they were good at attacking and defending cities.The shield bearers were at the forefront holding huge shields that were half the height of a person, and behind them were groups of archers and sword and shield soldiers who were the main force for climbing the city.

Dozens of Qing soldiers carried huge wooden planks made of temporary logs on top of their heads, and they were distributed in the later positions on both sides of the team.Behind them are hundreds of ladder riders carrying more than a dozen long ladders.

These ladders are also made temporarily, and are more than twice as long as ordinary ladders, so more people are needed to lift them.

No way, who let Jiang Chuan, a pervert, build the city wall twice as high as Datong City, so the length and weight of the Qing army's ladders doubled.

As the Qing army continued to approach, Jiang Chuan, who stood like a javelin on the top of the city, looked calm, but his heart beat faster with the Qing army's drumbeat, and the adrenaline began to secrete. The increase made him involuntarily clenched the lord's sword around his waist.

No matter how many fighting scenes of city attack and defense he has seen in film and television dramas or novels, it is just a scene to him. There is a layer of mist, because there is no immersive sense of reality.

But what he saw today made him know that reality is far more cruel, tense, and bloody than film and television dramas.

At this time, Jiang Chuan was excited, excited, and nervous, but he had no fear.

It seems that after coming to this world, the militant gene in his body was activated. Before each battle, he would feel a sense of joy and excitement. He wished to immediately raise his knife and enter the enemy's line to fight hard, so that the blood of the enemy would make him stronger. excitement.

Liu Ji was very worried about the previous few times when he personally took the lead and charged into the battle. He persuaded him several times, saying that as the leader of an army, he should not show the courage of a man, and that it is his job to plan strategies in the rear and dispatch and command.

Jiang Chuan naturally understood this truth, but at the beginning he was short of troops and had no choice but to do so.Of course, he also tasted the feeling that made his blood rush, so he was a little addicted.

But later, as the number of troops at hand increased, of course he didn't need to go into battle in person.

But the desire for war and fighting is still throbbing in his heart.

Although they had won against the Qing soldiers before, they were either ambushing or taking advantage of their unpreparedness, and had never confronted the Qing soldiers head-on.

And today is the first battle between him and the Qing army.For both sides, this is undoubtedly a tough battle.

For the Jiang family army, it is also a good opportunity to learn about the mighty Qing army's combat power in recent years.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan not only regarded this as a defense test for his army, but also as an exam, an opportunity to prove himself.

Thoughts were flying, but Jiang Chuan's eyes were fixed on the pace of the Qing army.

With the more and more intensive battle drums, the Qing soldiers had already reached the range of the crossbow arrows on the city.

　There are many things in the past two days, but there are few updates.Be sure to update more from tomorrow.Please forgive me!In addition, I would like to thank several brothers for their support.
