In the evening, Jirgalang finally arrived at the city of Fushun.
"Prince Zheng has been ordered to inspect the border. Open the city gate immediately!" Tunqi shouted towards the city wall.
"Is there any written order?"
"Yes," Tunqi ordered his men to tie the imperial edict to an arrow and shoot it onto the city wall.
After watching this, the defenders lowered the drawbridge and opened the city gate.
"Let's go into the city, Your Majesty!" Tunqi said.
Jirgalang did not move.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Tunqi asked in confusion.
"Something is wrong," Jirgalang said, "According to the rules, the guards of Fushun City should go out of the city to welcome me, instead of letting me go in by myself."
"Then I will go ahead to explore the way, and you, Your Majesty, will be at the end of the team." Tunqi suggested.
"Yes," Jirgalang nodded and rode his horse to make way.
Under the protection of his personal soldiers, Tunqi was the first to step onto the suspension bridge.
The other soldiers followed on horseback and filed into the city.
Tunqi quickly passed through the city gate and the gate arch and arrived in the city.
He looked around and saw nothing unusual.
So the message was passed on to Jirgalang by word of mouth: everything was normal.
Jirgalang was still a little worried, so he waited until all the other soldiers entered the city before he slowly walked towards the suspension bridge.
Before his horse stepped onto the drawbridge, a sharp capstan sound suddenly came from the city wall.
Jirgalang was shocked and immediately grabbed the reins of his horse and looked around.
I saw the suspension bridge rising rapidly.
at the same time.
With a bang, the gate also fell down.
Several soldiers who were preparing to enter the city under the gate were smashed into a pool of mud.
"Not good," Jirgalang was horrified, "There is an ambush, retreat quickly!"
boom!
Before Jirgalang could escape, the sound of cannon fire was heard from the city wall.
Immediately afterwards, ambushes sprang up from all sides and surrounded Jirgalang.
When Jirgalang escaped from Shenyang, he brought nearly two thousand soldiers and horses with him.
Although some people deserted on the way, there were still more than 1,500 people when they arrived at Fushun City.
These people are his die-hard fans and their strength should not be underestimated.
but...
Because Jirgalang was too cautious, he allowed the large army to enter the city ahead of time.
As a result, he and a few hundred personal soldiers were the only ones left outside the city.
The soldiers in the city tried to go out to help, but were blocked by the gate.
"Open the city gate and let us out!" shouted the soldiers trapped in the city.
What responded to them was not the sound of the capstan turning, but the sound of rows of soldiers moving in formation.
These people formed a human wall and surrounded the Blue Banner soldiers entering the city near the city gate.
"The emperor has ordered that surrender will exempt you from punishment!" Luo Shi of the Plain White Banner led the shouting.
Those who could follow Jirgalang to Fushun were all loyal people.
But Jirgalang was not around, and they were leaderless.
In addition, they had no idea how many troops Roche had, so they quickly lost the will to resist.
Outside the city.
Jirgalang was surrounded by Dorgon.
"Surrender!" Dorgon immediately drew his sword and shouted at Jirgalang.
"Don't even think about it!" Jirgalang gripped his weapon tightly and said through gritted teeth.
Dorgon was too lazy to talk nonsense and gave the order directly: "Go!"
The soldiers on both sides glared at each other with red eyes and waved their weapons at each other.
The war horses neighed and their hooves thundered.
The sharp blade cut through the air and pierced the soldier's body.
Arrows fell like rain, and lives disappeared like ants.
After a burst of shouting and killing, half of Jirgalang's personal soldiers fell down.
The remaining half were also injured.
Although they were powerful, Dorgon's military strength was more than ten times his.
Faced with so many enemies, they could not win even if they tried their best.
"The Bordered Blue Banner will never surrender!" Jirgalang roared to boost morale.
"No surrender! No surrender!" The soldiers around him raised their weapons in unison and roared.
"Kill!" Under the leadership of Jirgalang, they charged towards Dorgon.
Every time they took a step forward, someone fell off their horse.
By the time they rushed to the vicinity of Dorgon's central army flag, there were only a few people left.
With a bang.
A soldier of the Plain White Banner hit Jirgalang's helmet hard with his arm armor.
Jirgalang's eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.
The surrounding Zhengbai Banner soldiers rushed forward and tied up Jirgalang.
Dorgon was about to order the troops to withdraw, but he heard Fan Wencheng say, "We can't stop. We must continue to pretend that we are fighting."
"Don't stop, keep fighting!" Although Dorgon was puzzled, he still followed Fan Wencheng's advice.
After they were wielding their weapons again, Dorgon came to Fan Wencheng and asked, "What did you mean by that just now, Mr. Fan?"
Fan Wencheng did not answer, but asked: "How does the prince plan to deal with Prince Zheng?"
“Of course he will be taken back to the capital to await the emperor’s decision,” Dorgon said frankly.
"Not appropriate," Fan Wencheng shook his head.
"Why?"
"Your Highness, do you remember what the emperor said when you were given military power?" Fan Wencheng asked.
"Remember," Dorgon thought for a moment and said, "The emperor said that Jirgalang will be dismissed from his post as general and replaced by me. In addition, before catching Jirgalang, I can mobilize all the troops of the Eight Banners, including those under the emperor..."
Dorgon's words came to an abrupt end.
He suddenly realized that once he handed over Jirgalang to Fulin, his military power would also be handed over at the same time.
The power that was hard-won will be lost again.
etc...
A light bulb suddenly lit up in Dorgon's mind and he thought of the loophole in this matter.
