It was late at night, and although the number of Manchu and Qing soldiers in Hupiyi reached a historical high, they eventually became quiet. However, there were countless soldiers who either closed their eyes and pretended to sleep, or simply opened their eyes and looked at the dark roof, unable to fall asleep.

If the battle of life and death fails, the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed, and their personal fate will definitely not be good. They are aware of this. If it were possible, if he had known that the Qing Dynasty might fall one day, or he would not have abused the Han slaves so much, his hands would not be stained with the blood of so many Han slaves, right?

What will happen in the battle tomorrow? I hope that under the leadership of the emperor, we can really defeat those Ming troops!

Although I think so, the situation is not optimistic, and everyone can feel it. Tomorrow...tomorrow...

That night, countless Manchu soldiers prayed secretly to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky. Pray for themselves and for Manqing.

When dawn was approaching, the nervous Manchu soldiers had just fallen asleep. But when the sky in the east showed a hint of fish belly white, and when the sun's rays were about to shine on the land of Liaodong, the soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were suddenly awakened by the sound of horse hooves instead of an order from a superior officer.

Although there are not many hoofbeats, it can even be said that there are only a few horses, but Hupiyi is not big in the first place. The sound of horse hoofs trampling the land of Liaodong quickly should not be too familiar to the Manchu soldiers who are experienced in the military.

Under the head of Hupiyi City, two Manchu and Qing detective horses galloped in from the north. Seeing that the city gate was still closed, they pulled the reins quickly. The horses felt pain and stood upright with a cry of "咴咴咴". The Manchu and Qing detective horses were like Sticking to the horse's back, it shows that he has great riding skills. However, this Manchu cavalryman was not at all proud. Instead, he looked anxious and shouted loudly to the top of the city: "Report to the emperor, there are about three thousand Ming cavalry found twenty miles north of the city."

To the north of the city of Hupiyi, which was in the direction of Shenyang, three thousand Ming cavalry suddenly appeared behind them. Not only did this cut off the possibility of the army returning to Shenyang, but what also surprised them was how could there be three thousand Ming cavalry? What about the one who appears behind? Where did they come from?

The Manchu and Qing generals on duty at the top of the city were shocked and quickly sent someone to report to the emperor.

However, as soon as he sent his people out, he saw the west direction of the city and galloped back with a few Qing Dynasty exploration horses and went around to the north city gate, not caring at all why there were accomplices under the city. Just like the scouting horse before, after stopping suddenly, he shouted anxiously to the top of the city: "Report to the emperor, more than twenty miles west of the city, there are about 4,000 Ming cavalry found!"

The Manchu and Qing guard on duty at the top of the city was so frightened that he almost lost his balance. This time, he did not report immediately. Instead, he shouted and asked with disbelief: "Where did there come from so many Ming cavalry? Did you misjudge the situation?" .Lie about military information, watch your head carefully!"

"I dare to guarantee with my head, four thousand Ming cavalry, only a little more!" The Tanma who came from the west pointed at his head and almost roared in reply.

At this time, the guard general on duty had no choice but to believe it. Even if he couldn't figure it out, he didn't dare to neglect it and quickly sent someone to the imperial camp to report it. In just a moment, Jierhalang arrived in a hurry. His face was extremely ugly, and he shouted loudly: "What's going on? Where do so many Ming cavalry come from?"

At this time, Tan Ma's identity outside the city had been verified, the city gate opened, and Tan Ma had just entered the city. When they heard Lord Baylor's question, they didn't know, so they had no choice but to repeat the news they had reported before.

However, one of the Tanma men was older or had more experience. He added a reply to Jierharang: "Master Beile, I guess, maybe... maybe he is a Mongolian who defected to the Ming Kingdom!"

Perhaps this is the only explanation that can answer why the Ming army has so many cavalry troops. You know, the cavalry is not an ordinary military unit. Before the Ming Dynasty, there might have been so many war horses!

While they were talking, they heard the rapid sound of horse hooves. Just as they were surprised, they heard the guard on duty at the top of the city shouting with a hint of panic: "East... The horses from the east are rushing." came back!"

Jierhalang's heart suddenly sank, and he no longer cared about the probing horses in front of him. He took two steps at a time and almost trotted up to the top of the city. In just a moment, the Tanma outside the city had already arrived at the city gate.

Ji'erhalang looked down and saw the Tan Ma shouting in panic: "Quickly report to the emperor, less than thirty miles to the east, we found three thousand Ming cavalry!"

These are tens of thousands of cavalry, how is this possible! Jilharang's first feeling was that it was fake. But he soon thought of the older Tan Ma's speculation just now.

It was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to have so many cavalry troops. Only when the Mongols came too could there be such a large-scale cavalry army! But...but Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, didn't temporarily go to Liaodong. Does he have the power and the time to transfer the Mongols?

Suddenly, he thought of a key point, and immediately shouted to the people in the city: "Are you sure it's the Ming Cavalry, not the Mongolian Cavalry?"

"It's absolutely true, what I saw is indeed the uniform of the Ming army!" Tan Ma replied without hesitation.

This time, Jilharang was a little confused again. It was really difficult for him to understand this military situation? However, he did not dare to delay the military situation. He immediately sent people back to report to Huang Taiji. At the same time, he gave orders to continue sending out detective horses to investigate the inexplicable situation of the Ming Army's cavalry.

After a while, Huang Taiji hurried over, his eyes bloodshot. It was obvious that he didn't sleep well last night. Before he could speak, Dai Shan hurried over from the other direction. There were two big bags under his eyes on his face. It was obvious that, like Huang Taiji, he probably suffered from insomnia last night.

The two of them didn't care about the etiquette of monarchs and ministers. They caught Jierhalang who came to the top of the city first and asked about the situation.

"What's going on? Where did so many Ming cavalry come from?"

"How could the Ming Kingdom gather all the cavalry from all nine sides and send them here?"

Jilharang was a little helpless when faced with the two people's questions. He couldn't answer, so he had to emphasize the anomaly he discovered and said: "It stands to reason that so many cavalry troops come from Mongolia. But it makes sense. But I have confirmed that these cavalry troops are all wearing the uniforms of the Ming Army!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Taiji stood there blankly for a moment, and suddenly said out loud: "I know, I know, this is the cavalry on the other side of the Loop from the Ming Dynasty. If it is like what you said, it is definitely the Ming Dynasty." The cavalry of Guihua City!”

Hearing this speculation, Daishan didn't understand and immediately asked his question: "Lu Xiangsheng is just the governor of Denglai. He can command all the people on the front line of the Ming Dynasty. This is the limit. How can he have the right to mobilize Hetao?" The cavalry over there? This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

At this time, Huang Taiji did not turn to look at Daishan, but just lowered his head. At this time, the figure of the young emperor flashed in his mind. Standing on the city wall of the capital, in front of the soldiers of the two armies, he swore to the sky: "One day, I will personally conquer Liaodong!"

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji's face turned as pale as a dead man's, and he murmured to himself: "When he comes, I know it's him! Yes, it must be him, he's here..."

His words made several people around him a little surprised. Suddenly, all eyes turned to him, and Daishan couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, who is here?"

They could see that their emperor seemed to be scared out of his wits, and there was no fighting spirit in him. Who is this "him"? They are very curious!

After Daishan asked several times in succession, Huang Taiji raised his head, but instead of looking at Daishan, he looked in that direction. However, they were all at the north gate at this time and could not see the official road outside the south gate at all.

At the same time, Huang Taiji continued to mutter to himself, and at the same time he answered Daishan's question: "I saw it when he came. I saw it when he swore an oath at the top of the capital city. , he must not be underestimated..."

Hearing this, Daishan suddenly realized something and shouted out loud: "Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"

After saying it, he also confirmed that except for the Ming Emperor's personal expedition, no one else, including the old man Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, could mobilize the troops in the Hetao area. As for the mobilization of troops and horses in the Hetao area, since the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has promised to personally conduct the expedition, then nine times out of ten, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty must have really come!

Ji'erharang did not go with Huang Taiji and Daishan to speak to Emperor Chongzhen at that time, but he later learned about the conversation between the two emperors at that time. When he heard the words of these two people, he immediately understood that it must be Ming. The emperor is here. The reason why the emperor was so devastated was because he understood that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty came to conquer Liaodong in person, and he must have come with a heavy army, in order to regain Liaodong in one fell swoop.

With the national power of the Ming Dynasty, the national power of the Qing Dynasty was consumed in this way. This was simply a fight between a strong man and an old man who was old and frail and waiting to die. The Qing Dynasty had no chance of winning in a life-and-death battle. And judging from the current situation, as soon as the Qing Dynasty left Shenyang Jiancheng and entered the Tiger Skin Post, the Ming Dynasty cavalry was surrounded from all sides. This has shown that the Qing Dynasty fell into the calculation of the Ming Dynasty emperor.

For a moment, the Manchu and Qing leaders on the city wall were all thinking about things in their own minds, and no one said anything. On the top of the city, it became quiet.

At this moment, there seemed to be thunder, a faint, rumbling sound, coming from far to near.

All the veterans of the Manchu Qing Dynasty would be so frightened that they would turn pale as soon as they made a slight distinction. They heard that the faint rumble was not thunder, but the sound of thousands of horses' hooves. At this point, all the troops of the Qing Dynasty are here, and the Mongolian allies have already turned their backs on the Ming Dynasty. There is no need to see who those cavalrymen are!

Huang Taiji was waiting for the slave chiefs at the top of the city, including the Manchu soldiers who were on duty at the top of the city. They all raised their heads and looked into the distance. They saw a red line slowly forming at the end of the sky, whether on the official road or on the field. , like thunder from the sky, rolling in.

When you get a little closer, you can see the red Yuanyang war robes and countless cavalry, rolling up the overwhelming dust and rushing towards the tiger post.

The Ming cavalry from the east, west and north seemed to have made an appointment. They arrived at Hupi Post almost at the same time. More than ten thousand cavalry surrounded the small Hupi Post. Their momentum was overwhelming, just the sound of horse hoofs. , which shocked the Manchu soldiers to the point where they had no fighting spirit.

Huang Taiji looked around from the top of the city and confirmed that many of the Ming cavalry besieging the city were Mongolians. However, they were wearing Ming army uniforms at this time. Obviously, they were Mongols who had been annexed by the Ming Dynasty.

But judging from their faces and expressions, there was no trace of their unwillingness to be annexed. Each of them seemed very satisfied, confident, and seemed proud that they were Ming soldiers!

Surrounded by these troops, under a banner with the word "Hong", was a civil servant wearing a scarlet robe. Needless to say, this man should be Hong Chengchou, the naturalized governor of the Ming Dynasty. Huang Taiji had also heard about this man and knew that he was also a very capable person. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent him to govern the newly occupied Hetao, and he could tell something about it. This Hong Chengchou's status is higher than that of the governor of Denglai. The only one who can command him is the young man who swore an oath on the capital city wall!

The Ming cavalry who arrived at Hupiyi did not attack the city, nor did they step forward to shout. They just surrounded Hupiyi. Everyone was resting on the spot, their clothes untied, as if they were waiting for someone.

Although the Ming army did not move, this momentum seemed to have entered the city and entered the hearts of every Manchu soldier. When the Manchu and Qing soldiers were having their meal, this was the moment that the Manchu and Qing soldiers were most looking forward to, but they were exceptionally quiet. Some people have an abnormal appetite to eat, while others are eating desperately, as if they don't want to starve to death.

Huang Taiji and the others on the top of the city had no appetite at all, so they moved slowly and heavily towards the south wall. When it was confirmed that the commander of the invading Ming army was not the governor of Denglai, but the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they slave chiefs already knew that from the beginning of the war, the Qing Dynasty had no chance of winning!

At some point, Huang Taiji and others saw on the top of the city that the commander of the Ming army outside the city, Hong Chengchou, who was wearing a scarlet robe, had also arrived to the south. He did not pay attention to Hupiyi, but looked southward, from time to time. There were nights when no reports were received from him, and he kept looking south.

Looking at all this, Huang Taiji knew something, and he also looked towards the distance of the official road to the south. He just wanted to see how the young man he hadn't seen for several years was doing.

During this period, Oboi and other guards tried to persuade Huang Taiji several times, asking Huang Taiji to have a meal, but he ignored them. Later, even if Daishan and Jierhalang tried to persuade him, he still ignored them.

At this time, Huang Taiji wanted to take a look at his young opponent. When the Qing Dynasty was at its most powerful, that young man was able to turn things around and turn the Qing Dynasty into such a state after making an oath. Now, it is even at the point when the country is about to be destroyed. What kind of young man is that young man?
