Chapter 187: Choose and Occupy Datong, Attack and Naturalize

"Huh~!"

Take a deep breath and Wang Pu starts to think.

It sounds great to be given a title.

But how great can the title he gets for his contribution to the surrender of the city be?

"General, what are the other two choices?"

"The second one is to join my General Staff and become a staff member of the General Staff, responsible for making plans, compiling military books, etc."

"The third one is to continue to serve in the army. You need to enter the recruit camp for recruit training. After you pass the training, the king will naturally transfer you to a suitable position.

At least you can be a guerrilla general in one city."

After listening to the three choices given to him by Yang Zonghan, Wang Pu's expression changed and he fell into deep thought.

To be honest, if he really had to choose, he would naturally choose a title.

But again, what good title can he get for his contribution to the surrender of the city?

At most, it's an earl, right?

And it's probably the kind of nominal earl without real power and fiefdom.

Well, if Yang Zonghan knew his thoughts, he would definitely spit in his face. You really dare to think.

Just for the merit of surrendering the city, you want to become an earl?

Yang Zonghan felt that according to the division of new titles by the king, he would be lucky to get a viscount, and he still wanted an earl?

At least he had to have real military merits, or even the merit of truly expanding the territory and occupying a large area of ​​territory, in order to be awarded the title of earl.

For those who surrendered the city, forget it.

Anyway, it wouldn't take much effort to attack by force.

In the end, Wang Pu chose to continue to serve in the army.

However, even if he chose to continue to serve in the army, he would not be able to enter the new recruits camp for training in a short time, so he had to wait until the end of this war.

However, although he could not enter the new recruits camp for training, with his identity as the general of Datong, he could help the rescue army to take over Datong Guard more easily, which was also a merit.

In the next few days, he followed Yang Zonghan to encircle and suppress the Qing army still in Datong and take over the city of Datong.

With Wang Pu's identity as the general of Datong and the combat power of the people's salvation army, the defenders of each city basically opened the city and surrendered after some hesitation.

There were those officers and soldiers who were stubborn and wanted to die in the Ming Dynasty. Yang Zonghan was not polite and directly attacked the city and killed the generals defending the city.

You said that when the Qing army was showing off its power outside the city and abusing the people, you didn't dare to go out of the city to attack, but you wanted to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic at this time.

In this case, then I will fulfill your wish.

At the same time, Yang Zonghan also reported to the dynasty and sent some people's salvation army and management personnel from the Hetao area again to quickly take over Datongwei.

When Cao Wenzhao arrived nearby, Datongwei had been completely occupied. After trying to attack without success, he could only take a detour to Xuanfu.

At this time, Yang Zonghan had also left Datong and started to wipe out the Qing army in Xuanhua Prefecture.

However, because of the delay of a few days, Daishan, who had escaped by chance, had entered Xuanhua Prefecture to meet with Dorgon and others.

Naturally, Dorgon and others also knew the situation of the Salvation Army.

And at this time, they also received news that Wu Xiang, the general of Ningyuan in Western Liaoning, and You Shiwei, the general of Shanhaiguan, had also led 20,000 Guanning troops to support.

After receiving the news, Dorgon and others couldn't help but frown. Just one side of the army was enough to give them a headache.

But now, two armies have appeared, and both are hostile to the Qing army.

Even if the Salvation Army and the Ming Army are hostile to each other, they are all Han people after all, and there is a great possibility that they will unite to deal with their Qing army first.

"What should we do next?"

"What else can we do? Hey, I don't believe that my Qing army will be inferior to the people's army?

Even if we have powerful firearms, so what? We still have divine power.

Even if we add 20,000 Guanning troops, so what? We still have 80,000 troops here.

Even if they join forces, so what? Aren't their forces still inferior to ours?

I think we can completely annihilate them."

Although Duoduo looked a little solemn, his tone was very disdainful, and he looked at Daishan intentionally or unintentionally.

Daishan couldn't help but get angry when he heard this.

What does this mean? Does this mean that he is incompetent?

"You~!"

In an instant, Daishan stood up and glared at Duoduo.

"Ha!"

Facing the angry Daishan, Duoduo just sneered.

If Daishan and other beile had not recommended Huang Taiji, it might be Dorgon who inherited Nurhaci's Khanship.

So, there was a deep contradiction between the two sides.

In fact, although Nurhaci liked Dorgon more at the beginning,

However, the ones who had real power at that time were Daishan and Huang Taiji, and Dorgon really didn't have much chance.

And Daishan's recommendation of Huang Taiji was not very willing.

After Nurhaci died, his two sons found him and wanted to recommend Huang Taiji to the throne.

His sons were like this, what about others?

Under the circumstances at that time, he had to recommend Huang Taiji.

In fact, after Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he was not friendly to him, but constantly suppressed him.

"Okay, Duoduo, you should say less."

Dorgon glared at Duoduo. It was time now, and they were still fighting here.

"Prince Li, Duoduo has always been like this, please don't blame me"

Dorgon's feelings towards Daishan were actually quite complicated.

Dorgon could be said to have been brought up by Daishan, and the relationship between the two sides was still very close.

However, after Nurhaci's death, Daishan not only did not fight for the Khan position himself, but also did not choose Dorgon, but chose Huang Taiji.

In this way, the relationship between the two sides naturally broke down.

Listening to what Dorgon said, Daishan opened his mouth, and finally sat down heavily in anger.

This time, he was defeated by the Salvation Army, and he almost died in Datong.

Anything else would seem pale and powerless, and lack confidence.

And now, the main thing is to discuss the next action.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss now. Facing the Guanning reinforcements of the Ming court and the powerful Salvation Army, they can only retreat temporarily.

"We can only retreat temporarily."

After some discussion and consultation, Dorgon initially made the decision to retreat temporarily.

When Yang Zonghan led his army into Xuanfu, Dorgon had already assembled his troops to evacuate.

After a long fight, Yang Zonghan finally caught up with Dorgon and his men just as they were about to leave the Great Wall.

After a fierce battle, Ajige, who had lost one arm, died in battle, and Dorgon, Daishan, and Duoduo fled with 10,000 remnants of the army.

After receiving the news, Yang Zonghan was too lazy to chase them, but began to mobilize troops to attack Xuanfu.

While Yang Zonghan was killing the Qing army in Datong and Xuanfu, and capturing cities and land.

Zhou Junsheng, the general of Ningxia, had also led 5,000 soldiers to Guihua City in the northeast.

Huang Taiji stood on the top of the city, looking at the Ming Dynasty in the south, and was still a little worried.

Although the core soldiers of the Eight Banners Army have mastered divine power.

But, will the Ming Dynasty, with its vast territory and abundant resources, also master such power?

Unfortunately, after the army entered the Ming Dynasty, with the interference of the Ming Dynasty's national destiny, he could no longer feel the iron-blooded murderous spirit of the army.

He could only vaguely lock the approximate range of the army through the feedback of the national destiny.

It had been fine, but just yesterday, the national destiny suddenly fluctuated.

Through the induction of the dark, it seems that some changes have occurred in the army entering Datong.

He has sent people to step up the investigation, but no news has been received yet.

Looking at the soldiers around wearing heavy armor, holding swords, spears, and bows and arrows, with strong breath and sharp eyes, Huang Taiji was slightly relieved.

With the existence of the core team of the Eight Banners with divine power, even if there are any twists and turns, they should be able to be resolved, right?

And at this time, the dragon energy above Huang Taiji suddenly sent a wave of fluctuations.

Huang Taiji couldn't help but feel a whim, as if some danger was coming.

Instinctively, Huang Taiji looked at a place outside Guihua City.

He felt that the source of danger was in that area.

With a thought, Huang Taiji mobilized the national destiny and went to explore that place.

"Huh~?"

The military staff of Zhou Junsheng's troops suddenly looked up in the direction of Guihua City and uttered a surprised cry.

"What's wrong? Old Xu"

"Just now someone used power to explore us here, it seems to be the national destiny."

"You mean, Huang Taiji discovered us?"

"Well, it's possible!"

Zhou Junsheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

"Haha, such a sophisticated and delicate use of national destiny, then Huang Taiji must be much stronger than Lin Danhan, no wonder he was able to force Lin Danhan to move west."

However

After glancing at the artillery that was basically ready, Zhou Junsheng smiled.

Even if it was discovered now, it was too late.

On the city wall, Huang Taiji mobilized the national destiny to sweep across the distance, but did not find anything.

Is my feeling wrong?

But it shouldn't be like this. It's just a sudden impulse. There must be a reason for the national destiny to give an alarm.

Well, no, we need to investigate again.

Huang Taiji, who was getting more and more uneasy, frowned deeply. Suddenly, his mind moved, and the national destiny dragon energy above him fluctuated violently, and a golden light suddenly bloomed.

"Buzz~!"

When this golden light swept over Zhou Junsheng and others, the air immediately twisted and fluctuated, and the figures of Zhou Junsheng and others emerged vaguely.

Huang Taiji, who had been watching here, immediately discovered this scene, and his heart immediately sank.

"Not good!"

"Enemy attack!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, the soldiers around were all shocked, and immediately took quick action. Some rushed to the city wall, and some went to ring the alarm bell.

Although they looked nervous and hurried, they were in good order.

This shows that the Qing army is indeed well-trained.

Looking at the twisted and broken invisible force field around him, Zhou Junsheng curled his lips.

"Tsk, exposed! But it's too late to find out now.

Artillery ready, fire!"

"Boom boom boom"

The next moment, accompanied by the rumbling of artillery, shells one by one, whistled sharply and shot towards Guihua City.

Listening to the rumbling of artillery from the bottom of the city and the shells fired at high speed, the crisis warning in Huang Taiji's heart instantly reached its peak.

The artillery of this army that suddenly appeared not only has a long range, but also must have other dangers.

"Danger, hide, be careful to hide!"

Huang Taiji could not help but mobilize the dragon energy and shouted loudly.

The sound was deafening, almost spreading throughout Guihua City.

The garrison in Guihua City who had not had time to climb up the city wall couldn't help but be a little confused when they heard the sound.

"This is. This is Dahan's voice. Avoid? What are you avoiding?"

"There seemed to be gunfire just now. Could it be that someone was attacking the city with artillery? No wonder the Great Khan asked people to avoid it."

On the contrary, the defenders on the city wall saw countless flying cannonballs and began to follow Huang Taiji's orders to avoid them.

Ordinary soldiers just hide behind walls.

But some brave soldiers with divine power watched the trajectory of the cannonballs nervously, using their divine power to easily dodge the shells.

Then

They saw the flames soaring into the sky, the deafening explosions exploded in their ears, and their bodies were instantly thrown away.
