Outside, the dripping rain started at some unknown time. The gloomy sky made people feel stuffy, just like Dorgun's mood. At this moment, Dorgun finally felt powerless in the face of the vast sky and earth. Meanwhile, in Shengjing City, Haoge's mood was even worse and more gloomy than Dorgun's. His previous high spirits were no longer visible.
With a loud bang, Haoge smashed a porcelain vase on the ground. At this time, the ground was in a mess. The things that Haoge broke were everywhere. Several eunuchs and palace maids hid in the distance, trembling all over, as if facing the end of the world.
"Idiots, idiots, you are all a bunch of idiots. How did they fight this battle? Not only were tens of thousands of elite cavalrymen killed easily, but not even a single one of their bodies was damaged. Why did I keep a bunch of idiots like you..." Hauge roared loudly, his eyes were red, and his expression was ferocious, like a beast ready to devour anyone.
"And you, you stupid, clueless things, why don't you hide so far away? Am I that scary...ah...look at what you are doing, what's the point of me keeping you..." Haoge looked up at the eunuchs and palace maids who were hiding far away, and another surge of anger surged up in him. He rushed over, grabbed one of them and punched him, one punch, two punches...The man's loud screams gradually turned into muffled groans, and finally he was silent. He was beaten to death by Haoge's hard fist.
Although the other eunuchs and palace maids were trembling with fear, no one dared to escape. They all knelt on the ground, waiting for their misfortune to come. After killing one person with his fist, Haoge seemed to be still unsatisfied. He grabbed another palace maid, tore off her clothes, and used a burning giant candle to burn the palace maid's delicate skin.
This torture was much more painful than being hit by a fist. Amidst the maid's screams, Haoge laughed heartily: "Haha... I am the emperor, no one can take away everything from me, you idiots. I want to make you understand that I am the emperor of this world. Anyone who dares to disobey will die a miserable death."
Outside the hall, a large group of people knelt. They were terrified when they heard the screams coming from inside the hall. When they heard Haoge's crazy laughter, no one would have suspected that the emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty was scared crazy by the surrounding army outside the city.
A veteran-looking man sighed.
The old general who was kneeling stood up from the crowd and walked outside, causing a commotion in the crowd. The old general's surname was , and he was originally a Han Chinese, but his entire family had defected to the Jiannu for decades, and was no longer much different from those Jiannu.
After the old man came out onto the street, he looked up at the sky and sighed heavily. Life is so unpredictable. In the past, his family joined Nurhaci for wealth and glory, and served as a slave for decades. He never thought that he would not get wealth and glory in the end. Now his family is facing a catastrophe again. For the sake of this family, he has to be a slave to others again.
Now everyone knows that Shengjing City cannot hold out for a few more days. The Tang army, equipped with extremely powerful artillery, is only forcing the people in the city to surrender. Once they attack, after a few rounds of artillery bombardment, the walls of Shengjing will be reduced to ruins, and the people in the city will probably be drowned in blood.
No one is not afraid of death, except those with mental problems and those who are willing to die for the greater good. It is not that they are not afraid of death, but that the greater good is more important than their own lives in their hearts. But at this time, facing the issue of life and death, more people are willing to choose their own right to survive. There are many people who think like that old general. After hearing the crazy laughter of Hauge in the hall, there are not many people who can still insist on being loyal to Hauge. There are not many people who are loyal to the Later Jin Dynasty.
Just like the Han landlord armed forces after the fall of the Ming Dynasty in history, most of them chose to surrender to the Jiannu. Now, for the sake of their own and their family's interests, many people also chose to surrender to the Tang Army outside the city.
Tang Qi stood about a thousand meters away from the city. At this time, he had an army of more than 100,000 under his command. When the Khorchin people heard that Tang Qi was preparing to attack the Jiannu, they expressed their submission to Tang Qi at the first time. Because of Dayuer and Hailanzhu, the Khorchin people did not hesitate to join Tang Qi. Although Tang Qi did not have a title to establish a country, Dayuer and Hailanzhu were just Tang Qi's concubines, but in the eyes of the Khorchin people, Dayuer and Hailanzhu were the princesses of the Tang family. With these two women by Tang Qi's side, it was definitely a very beneficial thing for them, the Khorchin people, to join Tang Qi.
Afterwards, several Mongolian tribes expressed their submission to Tang Qi, and each actively sent their warriors to help Tang Qi. The main reason why these tribal people were able to surrender to Tang Qi so quickly was because of the Mongolian mercenaries under Tang Qi. These people had gained a lot of benefits from following Tang Qi, and their relatives had lived a relatively prosperous life. This made many Mongolians begin to yearn to work under Tang Qi. Now that Tang Qi was occupying the Jiannu's territory, these people did not bear grudges and praised him in their hearts. For the people on the grassland, the territory was obtained by the strong, and the Tang family army was stronger than the Jiannu, so it was natural that this place belonged to the Tang family army.
Moreover, surrendering to the strong was also the custom on the grassland, so those Mongolian tribesmen had no shame in betraying the Jiannu. After the Khorchin people surrendered to Tang Qie, those Mongolian tribesmen who had originally surrendered to the Jiannu also followed suit and surrendered to Tang Qie. As a result, the number of people under Tang Qie who surrounded Shengjing quickly increased to more than 100,000.
Looking at this scene, Zu Dashou had a strange feeling in his heart. He had fought with these Jiannu and Mongolians many times. They were enemies a few days ago, but now they had become partners in battle. Looking at the nearly 100,000 Mongolian cavalry, looking at the leaders of those Mongolian tribes being respectful to Tang Qie one by one, listening to those Mongolians calling Tang Qie "Great Khan" in very poor Chinese, Zu Dashou had a feeling as if he was in a dream.
A Han Chinese became the Khan of the grassland. Zu Dashou had thought it was impossible before. Seeing that Tang Qi had gathered so many Mongolian cavalry under his command, Zu Dashou's previous sense of superiority, which he thought was very impressive with 10,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry under Tang Qi, was no longer there. Moreover, he followed Tang Qi these days and learned more about the situation of the Tang family army. He knew that Tang Qi had 50,000 regular troops, more than 100,000 Japanese auxiliary troops, and tens of thousands of other auxiliary troops in Southeast Asia and other places. In addition, there were more than 100,000 teams like Japanese constables, and nearly 200,000 so-called reserve troops. With such a strong strength, there would be no problem in becoming a king and establishing a country. After seeing the strength of the Tang family army, Zu Dashou also curbed some of his rebellious behavior.
Tang Qi did not immediately attack the city with his large army. He hoped to obtain Shengjing with relatively little damage, so he surrounded the city and then entered the city to persuade the people to surrender. He spread the word to the people in the city that if they did not surrender after three days, they would be killed without mercy. At the same time, he fired a round of cannons at the city wall of Shengjing, blasting a small gap in the wall.
More than 20,000 of the 30,000 Jiannu cavalry under Hauge were destroyed, and there were less than 10,000 left in Shengjing City. Tang Yu was not very worried about this small number of people, nor was he worried that Hauge would break out. Tang Yu had already dug a large number of horse traps in places where there were not many people defending, and then stationed those Mongolian cavalry who came to surrender about 20 miles away from the city, so that they could guard against the Jiannu army that wanted to break out.
At night, Tang Qi arranged his men to be on guard duty. When they were about to rest, one of them came to report that someone wanted to see him. After a moment's thought, Tang Qi knew who it was and said to the sergeant who came to report, "How about this? You bring that person to the central army tent and I'll meet him there.
”
For safety reasons, Tang Qi did not sleep in his own central army tent, so he received such instructions. Tang Qi dressed neatly again and walked towards the central army tent. Along the way, he wondered what kind of status this person who came here in the middle of the night had among the Jiannu people. He did not expect that someone would come to ask for directions by throwing stones on the first night.
Tang Qi lifted the curtain of the central army tent and walked in. He saw eight soldiers standing in the tent. The eight soldiers were divided into two sides, vaguely surrounding a young man in a blue shirt in the middle. The man heard the footsteps and turned his head. Tang Qi took a look and couldn't help but secretly admire the man for his handsome appearance. If he became an idol star in the future, who knows how many girls he would fascinate.
After seeing Tang Yu, the man was slightly startled, then he bowed to Tang Yu and asked in a clear voice: "Excuse me, General, are you Lord Tang from Nanyang?" (To be continued. If you want to know what happened next, please log in. There are more chapters. Support the author, support!)
