And at this time, it is difficult not to have different thoughts.

Now facing such a situation, the thoughts in Amin and the others’ minds are actually very simple, that is, how to survive?

Now that Huang Taiji was dead, the Jurchens were doomed. He had to find a way to survive, otherwise he would be buried with them.

What to do is a problem that everyone in the city has to face.

Some people in the city survived, while others did not. How to survive depended on individual choice.

Brother Hao is already preparing manpower and is ready to retreat and break out at any time.

For Hauge, he had no choice but to take this path, but for others, there were many options.

Jirgalang sat in a chair with a sullen face, and the people below looked at him expectantly. Many of them were Shuerhazi's former subordinates.

When Nurhaci rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, Shurhaci and his men disagreed and secretly colluded with the Ming Dynasty.

However, Nurhaci's power was very strong in recent years, while the Ming Dynasty was losing ground, leaving Shurhaci and others with no room to maneuver.

This time it is different. If Shurhaci's old subordinates want to protect themselves, they naturally cannot rely on themselves. They can only pin their hopes on the person in front of them, Jirgalang.

As long as Jirgalang can take the lead, everyone can survive.

Jirgalang knew very well why these men came to find him. They just wanted him to open the city gates and surrender.

My father had a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and with my current status, I am sure it will have a good effect. Even if the Ming Dynasty wants to kill me, these people will be able to survive.

However, Jirgalang felt that they were wrong. He was different from them. Huang Taiji had saved his life before. If it were not for Huang Taiji's plea, he and his father would have been killed.

In the past few years, Nurhaci has treated himself as his own son, and Huang Taiji has also used him very much since he ascended the throne. Now that Huang Taiji is dead, if he attacks his back and then defected to the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable.

Moreover, Jirgalang knew in his heart that he would not survive. Even if he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he would still not survive.

Jirgalang knew exactly who the Ming Dynasty emperor was. Even after all these years, that emperor remained very powerful.

Maybe he won't kill me when I surrender, but I can't say for sure what will happen in the future.

Even if these people want to survive, they cannot exchange their lives for it.

After scanning everyone, Jirgalang said, "Go back and prepare."

No one expected Jirgalang to say this.

Some people had a flash of disappointment in their eyes, some people were a little angry, and more people didn't even hide the murderous look in their eyes.

By this time, many people could no longer hold back.

"What? My words don't work?" Jirgalang said with a gloomy face, glaring at everyone.

In the end, due to the accumulated authority and caution, no one objected or stood up to say anything. Everyone chose to quietly retreat.

However, Jirgalang knew that just because these people did not show off their power in front of him did not mean that they would not do anything tricky when they returned.

Thinking of this, Jirgalang stood up immediately.

This time, he was going to find Hauge to make things clear.

We can't wait any longer. Whether it's breaking out or defeating the enemy head-on, we can't wait any longer. We must act quickly.

If we wait any longer, something might not happen. We need to leave quickly.

At the same time, outside the city of Hetuala.

The Ming Dynasty army was preparing to attack the city.

After breakfast, Lu Xiangsheng brought Cao Wenzhao to the front of the battle.

The Ming army has begun to form up. Although there was no siege yesterday, the necessary preparations have never been missed. Various artillery pieces have been installed, and even the shooting directions and targets have been calibrated. They can open fire directly today.

Cao Wenzhao looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Are we really going to attack the city directly? We received many letters last night. Someone in the city is trying to contact us. Are we just going to pretend that this never happened?"

"How do you know this is not a delaying tactic?" Lu Xiangsheng looked at Cao Wenzhao and said in a calm tone.

No one could prove whether this was a delaying tactic. However, Cao Wenzhao knew that this was not the reason why Lu Xiangsheng was doing this.

Lu Xiangsheng had only one reason for doing this: he didn't want to accept any surrender and just wanted to fight. This time, he wanted to fight and win.

Cao Wenzhao didn't say anything else. He was thinking the same thing in his heart. What he just said was nothing more than a reminder to Lu Xiangsheng that if he really did this, he must come up with a good reason. Otherwise, he might be impeached after returning, which would be bad.

Obviously, Lu Xiangsheng had already thought of a reason, which was to tell everyone clearly: I suspect they are just delaying the war, so we can't wait; we can obviously take it down, so why should we wait?

He believed that this reason could convince the emperor, and Lu Xiangsheng knew in his heart that the emperor would agree with him.

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng had already thought of a reason, Cao Wenzhao knew there was nothing more to say and they just got started.

He turned around and walked to the side.

This siege was very important, so Cao Wenzhao was assigned to lead the assault team.

"Let's start." Lu Xiangsheng said slowly after taking a look through the telescope in his hand.
