Chapter 76
Hauge has long been dissatisfied with Dorgon. He is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and now he is also a prince. He has quite a military exploit, and he has quite a few supporters among the nobles of the Qing Dynasty.

Many people regard him as the crown prince, the next Qing emperor.But this [-]th uncle Dorgon, who was praised and loved by his grandfather Nurhaci since he was a child, was not much different from him in grades, but he was always overpowering him, which already made him very upset.

This trip to Datong, I thought I would be the coach, but I didn't expect Huang Taiji to hand the coach over to Dorgon, a thorn in his side, which made him very upset.

The [-] Qing army came to the city of Datong. Dorgon sent an envoy to the city to persuade him to surrender, but he did not expect that the envoy was beheaded and thrown from the city wall. This completely angered Dorgon, who wanted to fight for power. Therefore, he ordered the siege of the city without waiting for the red cannon to arrive.

The Ming army is not good at field battles, but they are still very experienced in defending the city.Under the fierce and fearless attack of the Qing soldiers, the Ming army used rolling logs, stones, golden juice (that is, hot dung water), stones, bows and arrows and other weapons to defend the city. The onslaught of the Qing soldiers drove off the city, causing huge casualties to the Qing soldiers.

Moreover, all kinds of artillery on the top of the city still sounded from time to time, which caused heavy losses to the Qing soldiers.

Although Dorgon watched the corpses of the Qing soldiers being dragged down, he still ordered non-stop attacks.

In less than two days, less than half of the [-] Han and Eight Banners troops who attacked the city were left, and [-]% of the [-] Mongol Eight Banners troops were lost. The military flag is still flying high.

Only then did Dorgon realize that the army of the Qing Dynasty was still the one that was not good at attacking the city, and the prestige of the field battle did not allow them to win the city of Datong in one sentence.

Of course, he doesn't care how many Han people and Mongols die. What he cares about is whether his majesty and authority as a coach will be questioned and challenged.

No, someone came to challenge immediately, and it was Hauge who he had always looked down upon.

In Dorgon's eyes, Hauge is a simple-minded reckless man who has no qualifications to compete with himself, let alone become the heir apparent.

Dorgon has ambitions for that position, which many people can see, and he also has this strength and ability.

So the disagreement with Hauge is basically an obvious fact.

"Hmph, as the deputy commander in chief, I can't just watch you let the warriors of the Qing Dynasty die in vain. You must order to stop the siege." Less dissatisfied, at this time, he shouted desperately.

"Haug, I am the coach here. I will explain all the consequences to the emperor. It is not your turn to tell me what to do. If you dare to shout loudly in front of me again, I will order you to be beheaded, and the emperor will have nothing to say." Dorgon was already bored in his heart, and when he saw Hauge provoking his majesty again, he immediately sternly shouted.

Hauge froze, being suppressed by Dorgon's aura, glaring at Dorgon bitterly, and finally turned around with a cold snort and got off the watchtower.

Hearing the heavy and hurried footsteps when Hauge went down, Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief, calmed himself down, and told a Geshha (personal guard) next to him: "Quick horse urges Tong Yangxing to Dog slave, let him speed up to catch up, if you don’t see the cannon in red when the sun rises tomorrow, just wait for your head to fall.”

After Geshha took the order to leave, Dorgon ordered to continue the siege.

This king originally wanted to order to stop the siege, but since you, Hauge, have said so, then this king cannot let others think that this king is afraid of you.

Many people heard the struggle of the two on the watchtower just now, so naturally Dorgon would not immediately order to stop the siege.

As the whining ox horn sounded again, countless Qing soldiers shouted again, carrying the ladders and rushing towards the city wall, the Ming army on the top of the city also appeared and began to defend.

At this time, many messengers of the Qing army also rode away to find the dead Tong Yangxing to deliver Prince Rui's order.

………………

The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, and there is not a trace of cloud in the whole sky. The leaves on the trees in Liaoyang City are curled up by the scorching sun, and countless cicadas are chattering non-stop among the branches.

After the army went out, the remaining thousands of old and weak defenders in Liaoyang were also lethargic by the scorching sun. Whether they were on duty at the gate of the city or patrolling on the city wall, they were all weak. Dozing in the shade with the spear in hand.

Since taking Liaoyang City from the Ming army five years ago, the Ming army has never appeared in Liaoyang City again.Everyone knows that Daming is now facing external and internal troubles, and the sun is setting.Not to mention taking back Liaoyang City, being able to hold Datong City is considered a high incense.

When the Qing army first captured Liaoyang City, the Qing army was still very cautious, guarding against the Ming army going north to seize the city.

But year after year passed, and Liaoyang City had never seen a single Ming army, so naturally the defense was relaxed.

This time a [-]-strong army went to Datong, and everyone knew that the Ming army would not have the strength to do other things, so the defense and vigilance were even lower.

Suddenly there was a muffled thunderous sound on the plain to the south, sweeping from south to north quickly, smoke and dust everywhere, forming a black line moving quickly towards Liaoyang City.

The sound became louder and louder, finally waking up a few Qing soldiers who were dozing off in the shade at the corner of the tower with their spears in their arms.

"What is that?" A Qing soldier rubbed his eyes and poked his companion next to him and asked confusedly.

The companion opened his eyes and looked at it for a while, hesitating: "It seems to be a large group of cavalry, could it be that Prince Rui and the others won the victory?"

"My dear, Prince Rui is amazing. In just three days, Datong City was taken down. This time, he really accomplished a great job. I think Prince Rui is very likely to be the next Great Khan."

The Qing Dynasty was changed to the emperor from the time of Huang Taiji. In the past, Nurhachi was always called Da Khan. It has only been changed for a few years, so many people are still used to calling it Da Khan.

"That's hard to say. This time, Prince Su is also the deputy commander in chief, and he will have a share in the meritorious service. Prince Su is the eldest son of the emperor, and it is very possible to inherit the throne."

The two Qing soldiers watched the galloping cavalry in the distance, while gossiping about the Qing royal family.

"Look quickly, what is written on that big flag?" Suddenly a Qing soldier pointed to the city and shouted.

Although the cavalry was getting closer and closer, a large flag with a large "Jiang" character was gradually displayed in front of Liaoyang Qing soldiers under the scorching sun.

 Finally rushed to the third shift before midnight, continue to ask for a ticket before going to bed
