Geng Zhongming, on the top of the city, looked at the Ming army outside the city, galloping unscrupulously, chasing the Qing army soldiers and the men who were fleeing in all directions. In just a short while, he had already killed a lot, and his face turned pale.

When one of his subordinates saw him, he reminded him with a hint of panic and said, "Prince, you can't watch the Manchus be killed! You will be punished by the emperor when you look back!"

In the Qing Dynasty, there was no doubt that the Manchus were the best. There were at least a few hundred people outside the city who went to supervise the worker, all of whom were powerful in Jinzhou City. If they were killed by the Ming army, they would definitely be sued by their families to the court and the emperor.

However, Geng Zhongming looked up at the distance, and teams of Ming army infantry had already rushed over according to the team. It was just that there were at least one thousand people. No matter how far away, there were no more than three thousand. Maybe there were only three thousand. If so many Ming army were outside the city, if they sent troops out of the city to rescue, if the Ming army rushed into the city and lost the Jinzhou, they would definitely be punished.

Thinking of this, after measuring it in my heart, Geng Zhongming shook his head resolutely.

"Geng Zhongming, open the door and let us in!"

"King Zhishun, be fine, open the door quickly, and it's better to open a crack!"

"Open the door quickly, do you know who I am? If I die here, you will have to pay your life!"

“…”

Suddenly, the lucky ones who were walking around the city wall looked at the Ming army chasing them everywhere, and some even rushed to the city again, and they were so scared that they shouted immediately.

Among these people, some begged and threatened, and they had everything, so they wanted to ask Geng Zhongming to open the city gate quickly and put them into the city.

Among Geng Zhongming's personal guards, one looked down and then quickly reminded him: "Prince, there is one below the family of Prince Zhishun's Mansion, and another one seems to be a real slave in Gushan E..."

When Geng Zhongming heard this, he looked down and found that the few who threatened him with words had background. However, he looked up again and found that although the dozens of cavalry of the Ming army were chasing, they were not far from the city gate. Experience told him that these Ming soldiers were still thinking about taking the opportunity to attack the city gate.

Thinking of this, he ordered sternly: "Without my military order, no one is allowed to open the door. Everyone is on guard against the Ming army's siege!"

After saying that, he turned around and left the battlement and headed towards the arrow tower.

On the surface, he seemed very cold and was not moved by the outside world.

However, at this time, Geng Zhongming actually sighed in his heart. The scene in front of him was so familiar!

A few years ago, he was still part of the Ming army. At that time, Jianlu was also arrogant outside the city, but he was powerless;

Just a few years have passed, and the completely opposite scene happened. It was the Ming army's turn to be arrogant outside the city, but he was powerless.

Could it be...Is it because I am the reincarnation of the broom star? Wherever I am, will I be unlucky?

Thinking of this, he laughed at himself, stepped onto the arrow tower, and looked out of the city again, the Ming army had already become more. However, the Han slaves attracted his attention. Some of them knelt down to greet the Ming army and cried; some of them waved their hoes and other tools, or intercepted the supervisors who wanted to escape, or simply joined the pursuit of the supervisors.

Looking at this scene, Geng Zhongming didn’t feel much sadness and anger. Is it because of the right and wrong of my race? Or is it because I’ve seen it too much?

Geng Zhongming, who was in deep thought, did not come to his senses until the screams came closer. When he looked at it again, Ming's military military used muskets or bows and arrows to attack the supervisors under the city wall.

However, Geng Zhongming did not pay attention to this. From the moment he ordered the city gate to be closed, he knew that the supervisors outside the city would definitely not escape death. The Ming army had a rare opportunity to take revenge and would never let it go.

At this time, he was concerned that there were more than 2,000 Ming troops outside the city, and now they gathered outside the city. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be thinking about siege.

Seeing this, he immediately became nervous and sent a military order to keep his subordinates ready.

In fact, there was not much military force in his hands. Although the walls of Jinzhou were high, they were also large. His subordinates all went to the city, which seemed to be sparse and not strong in defense. This seemed to have been discovered by the Ming army outside the city. The people in the head were discussing something. They were even asking the Han people, obviously, they were asking about the situation in the city.

"Hurry, inform all the men in the city to go to the city to defend. Once the city is broken, the Ming army will definitely take revenge. None of them can escape!" Geng Zhongming was uneasy and immediately turned around and ordered his personal guards.

When his personal guard heard this, he immediately rushed to pass the order. The Jinzhou City inevitably became a mess.

OK, why did the Ming army suddenly come over?

The Ming army outside the city was led by Li Guo. Geng Zhongming was not wrong. After Li Guo arrived, he thought about whether he could take down Jinzhou. While watching the formation, he discussed with Li Dingguo who arrived first, and even found the rescued people to inquire about the situation in the city.

"Sir, the one in Jinzhou City is Geng Zhongming, the King of Zhishun of Jianlu!" There was a slightly older young man who knew more and was answering Li Guo's words, "He has few troops under his command, about one thousand people, and at most three thousand people. They are all fake Tartars, and they were also the imperial official army before, and surrendered to Jianlu."

Outsiders, after all, don’t know the real strength of the Tartars in the city, more than one thousand to three thousand, and this range is really a bit big.

"Sir, there is a lot of food and grass in the city, all brought by the Tartar army this time."

"Sir, okay, my dad is still in the city, and many of our families are in the city. Please save them?"

"Sir, give me a knife. If I have strength, I will chop the Tartars too!"

“…”

Li Guo's question ended up being a verbal request from these people.

Listening to their words, Li Laiheng suddenly interrupted and said loudly: "Enjoyed father, do it, kill him and bring all the rebel generals back to the Governor. It will definitely be a great achievement!"

"Well, there is no adoptive father here!" Li Guo scolded him angrily when he heard this.

Emperor Chongzhen issued an order that the army would not be equipped with servants and would not have private soldiers. The adoptive father, the master, etc. must not appear in the army. This is the most thorough implementation of the three camps of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the army under Lu Xiangsheng.

Li Laiheng got used to it, and just called it, and was scolded by Li Guo. Then, he pointed to the city wall and said, "We don't have any siege equipment. The city wall is so high, how can we fight? Do we need human lives to fill it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the commoner who had just taken the lead in pleading fell to the ground and said to Li Guo: "Sir, the villain used to be a carpenter, he could build ladders and thieves. Sir, give the villain some time..."

When Li Guo heard this, he shook his head and built a ladder and a catapult, it took a lot of time, but he didn't have that much time.

Seeing that he disagreed, the man kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Sir, the villain's father is still in the city. Please save him!"

Immediately, another group of Han people knelt down to Li Guo. They all had their families in the city and begged Li Guo to attack the city to save people. There were at least 500 people kneeling.

Li Guo saw more and more people kneeling down, and suddenly frowned. It was not that he didn't want to attack the city, but that he could not defeat Jinzhou at present. And he was responsible for his subordinates, so how could he easily lose his troops? You must know that most of these troops were from his former brothers.

Before he could speak, suddenly the sound of horse hooves came quickly. Before the people arrived, a voice came back: "Sir, I found that there were Tartar troops coming over, and the number of people was unknown, but from the signs, there were at least two or three thousand people."

When Li Guo heard this, he immediately turned around and looked towards Lushun. This was a hilly area, and the weather was clear, so you could see a long distance.

Sure enough, there was dust flying far away. With years of experience, it can be estimated that there were definitely many Tartars returning to Jinzhou!

After reaching this conclusion, Li Guo made a quick decision and immediately passed an order: "Get out the troops and take them to retreat together!"

The order was enforced, and the Ming army immediately started to complete the team without any hesitation, and then prepared to retreat.

At this point, Li Guo said to the people who were kneeling: "The Tartar reinforcements have returned, and we must retreat immediately. The Governor has an order to bring you back, so that you will no longer have to suffer here and be bullied by the Tartars!"

Hearing this, he saw that the Ming army was really ready to retreat. Some people stood up, but most of them still knelt there and did not move. The person in the lead said: "The villain's father is still in the city. If the villain leaves, the villain's father will undoubtedly die. The villain thanks the great man for saving him, but the villain will not leave!"

The others who were still kneeling were also concerned about their relatives in the city, and eventually chose not to leave.

From their expressions, we can see that they really want to take advantage of such a rare opportunity to escape from the sea of ​​suffering. However, the concern of their relatives makes them helpless and can only give up this opportunity.

Li Guo looked at them and couldn't help but frown.

The purpose of his leadership this time is to win Jinzhou. If he can't win Jinzhou, he must let Jianlu know that the Ming Dynasty now has the ability to harass all over Liaodong. At the same time, he will rescue the looted Han people, kill the Tartar population, and attack the comprehensive strength of Jianlu.

If these Han people did not leave, they would continue to work for the Tartars, which was actually not in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty. What should I do? Should I kill them? This way, I can execute military orders well.

However, if he really wanted to kill these people, he would not only be unable to bear it, but the Governor would not agree if he knew about it.

Thinking of this, he wanted to give up on them.

But at this moment, Li Dingguo suddenly pointed to the city wall and said, "I have an idea to ask the bird king in the city to exchange them for the Han people in the city!"

When Li Guo heard this, he turned around and saw that under the Jinzhou city wall, there were 30 or 40 people lying there, avoiding the Ming army's previous shooting.

After seeing this, Li Guo was immediately happy and immediately waved his hand to transfer the brigade of musketeers and archers, aiming at those people, and then shouted loudly to the city: "Geng Zhongming, don't talk nonsense, exchange the lives of the Han people in the city for these people. If you don't agree, you will shoot and kill these people immediately!"

Geng Zhongming on the arrow tower naturally saw the dust flying in the distance, and he was relieved. Jinzhou must have been saved. Therefore, before, he was in the mood to see the movements outside the city.

However, after seeing it, he suddenly sighed, and the little excitement brought by the reinforcements was gone.

When he heard the shouts of Li Guo outside the city, his eyes looked at the Han people who were still kneeling there. Although he could not hear their conversation, he could guess that it must be those people who were asking for this wise general, so that he had the idea of ​​replacing people.

Looking up at the dust in the distance, Geng Zhongming hadn't said anything, someone rushed over and shouted loudly: "King Zhishun, didn't you hear me, please change people quickly, otherwise the people below will die!"

There are more than one or two of these people, both of whom are from backgrounds.

Under the city wall, those lying on their backs naturally did not dare to use their lives to bet whether the Ming army dared to enter this place of arrow to shoot them, so they were all shouting, asking Geng Zhongming to quickly agree to the Ming army's request.

Seeing this, Geng Zhongming didn't see any expression on his face. He just turned around and ordered his personal guards and said, "Immediately send someone to drive all the Han slaves in the city, no matter which family, out of the city."

After hearing this, his personal guard hesitated a little, as if he wanted to say something.

"Why don't you go quickly?" Geng Zhongming frowned and urged him when he saw it, and then turned his head and shouted outside the city: "Then Ming General, don't do anything randomly. I promised you that you have sent someone to do it!"

When the people kneeling outside the city heard this, they were immediately overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Li Guo, and some of them also thanked Li Dingguo.

Li Guo was actually very anxious, and he turned around from time to time to see where the dust in the distance behind him had arrived.

The army began to form a formation and slowly retreated to the beach, while most of the people evacuated first. The archers and musketeers who threatened the city supervisor had not yet retreated. Of course, the people with family members in the city did not retreat, and were anxiously waiting for their relatives to leave the city.

During this waiting time, it was a torment, whether it was Li Guo, the people who were waiting for their relatives, or the supervisors lying under the city.

Fortunately, Shang Kexi did not make any mistakes and moved quickly. He saw a large group of elderly, weak, women and children driven out of Jinzhou City. Of course, this was why he saw that most of the Ming army had evacuated, so he dared to open the city gate.

Under the city of Jinzhou, the elderly, weak, women and children didn't know what was going on, but the young and strong people waiting outside the city were overjoyed and even forgot the dangers on the top of the city and rushed into an arrow to greet their relatives.

Seeing the many people under the city crying with joy, Geng Zhongming had no expression on his face. Only the personal guards who were familiar with him knew that the prince was in a daze again at this time.

When Li Guo saw that the people had left the city, he stopped staying and immediately ordered a retreat.
Chapter completed!
