Chapter 938 What Is This For?

The guard general of Liaoyang was Aixinjueluo Amin, one of the four great belles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He has been depressed and dissatisfied since he invaded the capital of the Ming Dynasty the year before last. The biggest wish deep in his heart was realized by Huang Taiji. But since last year, watching Huang Taiji continue to fail, his mood has finally become better.

Now, he is quite comfortable leaving Shenyang and controlling Liaoyang alone. Therefore, although Huang Taiji issued a ban on banquets, no one in Liaoyang could control him. No, he gathered his close friends to drink, have fun, and enjoy singing and dancing.

"Master, I actually think that we are doing well in Liaoyang. At least we don't have to worry as much as we did in Shenyang before." A Jianlu general ate meat and said with a smile.

After hearing this, another person also echoed: "You're right, Master, I can live more comfortably in Shenyang than in Liaoyang!"

"..."

Seeing these generals under his command complimenting him and saying things that made him happy, Amin shook his head, and then sneered: "You are wrong, how could Huang Taiji really have such a good arrangement! His thoughts are nothing more than They just want us to fight the Ming army and consume our strength!"

For the people under his banner, Amin, as the banner leader, has the power of life and death. What's more, these are still his confidants, so in front of them, Amin doesn't have to be shy about talking, he can say whatever he thinks.

Sure enough, these Jianlu generals were accustomed to hearing him directly address the emperor by his name. One of them smiled and comforted after hearing this: "Master, you are worrying too much. With Anshan Posthouse blocking it, Liaoyang is very safe!"

"Yes, Master!" Another Jianlu general also echoed, "Originally, the Anshan Posthouse was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but now that we have reinforced it, it is simply impregnable and can withstand the Ming army's attack! Besides, The Ming army relied on sneak attacks to seize the Qing's city. When will they come to fight openly? It's not that they don't want to come, but they know that their strength is not enough to compete with the Qing in a direct field battle..."

Amin listened to what they said and nodded slightly. In the past, the reason why Anshan Posthouse fell was because the defenders were incompetent and fled upon hearing the news. Of course, this was the fault of a wise general; or he was arrogant and attacked without permission, giving the enemy a chance. This happened last year. Son.

Now, the southern gate of Anshan Inn has been completely sealed, eliminating the possibility of it falling in the past. Therefore, Amin also believes that it is impossible for the Ming army to attack this kind of natural danger without preparing for three to five years...

He was thinking when suddenly there was a commotion outside. He frowned and before he ordered to check, he saw some of his men rushing into the lobby, passing directly through the dancing girls, and loudly reported with panic on their faces: "Master, Anshan Posthouse is reporting urgently. About 50,000 Ming troops are coming to attack, please ask Liaoyang for reinforcements!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the lobby, including Amin, was stunned. Just now we were discussing that the Ming army could not attack, now we are reporting that the Ming army is coming. What does this mean? Is it fun to slap someone in the face like this?

After being stunned for a while, the dancers did not hear the order to stop and quickly started dancing again.

"Get out, get out of here, Ben Beile!" Amin shouted, waving the dancers away at the same time, then staring at the men who reported the news, and asked loudly, "Fifty thousand are here? Where did the Ming army get the fifty thousand horses?" ?”

"Returning to the master, judging from the flags, the Ming Army is composed of Ning Army, Dongjiang Army and Gaizhou New Army."

Upon hearing this, Amin's expression could not be more serious, and it could even be said that he was a little nervous. If you go by the information reported by your subordinates, it is really possible that there are so many people.

At this time, the first thought that flashed through his mind was that the Ming army was dispatching on such a large scale. What did they want to do?

While Amin was thinking about it, one of his generals expressed his opinion: "Master, it's useless for the Ming army to come with so many people! The front of Anshan Posthouse is not empty, which is not conducive to the expansion of the army."

Upon hearing this, Amin nodded. Anshan Posthouse is located between East and West Anshan. The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's not just talk. Besides, in Anshan Posthouse, in order to prevent the Ming army from attacking the city, they not only strengthened the city wall, but also fully prepared rolling logs, stones and other materials. If the Ming army wanted to capture Anshan Post Castle, they would have to take many lives!

He thought this, and when he was about to say something, he heard the noise coming from outside again. At this time, Amin was already in a bad mood. Hearing the noise now, it felt particularly harsh. Just when he was about to get angry, he saw another person burst into the lobby, with a panicked look on his face and reported: " Master, the Ming army that attacked Anshan Posthouse brought more than ten Hongyi cannons!"

"More than ten Hongyi cannons?" When Amin heard this, he was immediately shocked. He stood up from his seat, his face was ashen, and he shouted sternly, "Where did the Ming army come from so many Hongyi cannons? Could it be that they took Ning Jin? Could it be that all the Hongyi cannons have been evacuated? What is the Ming army going to do?"

"My servant doesn't know that the commander-in-chief of the Ming army is Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, Cao Wenzhao, the commander-in-chief of the Guanning army, and Cao Bianjiao, the new army division general. All three armies have arrived, and Anshan Posthouse is in danger. Please send troops to rescue immediately!" There was sweat on his head, but he didn't bother to wipe it off. He was anxious about the war, so he loudly reported.

Although in this plane, there has never been any precedent for a large number of Hongyi cannons to attack a city together. Of course, this is why the Jianlu did not realize that when the Ming army attacked a city, they would use all the sharp weapons they used for defense. city. But no matter what, Amin had seen the power of the Hongyi cannon, and it was a little hard for him to imagine the scene of more than ten Hongyi cannons firing together to bombard the walls of Anshan Inn.

He had been involved in many battles, and he immediately estimated that the original defense system of Anshan Station was of no use in the face of so many Hongyi cannons.

With his mind racing, Amin suddenly understood that the Ming army had mobilized so many troops, mobilized three armies, and evacuated the Hongyi artillery. Their purpose was definitely not just to attack Anshan Post Castle. Their goal may be the important town of Liaoyang, or even Shenyang!

Amin also immediately understood that if he wanted to deal with the well-prepared Ming army, he could not stop it with his banner, nor could he just hide in the city.

He immediately gave a loud order: "Eight hundred miles, hurry up and report the military situation to Shenyang. Tell the emperor that if you want to stop the Ming army, you must send a large army to break it. It is the safest way for the Ming army to come to Liaoyang!"

At this time, he stopped calling Huang Taiji and used the word "emperor" unconsciously. Others did not realize this when they heard it.

The banquet could not continue. The sound of police gongs rang quickly, and Liaoyang City was in a panic!
