On the 17th, during the attack on that day, the Ming army once captured the city top and occupied a section of the city wall. However, in the end, because the city gate could not be broken, the army could not enter the city, and the Qing army drove down the city wall.

This made the generals of the various troops involved in the siege dared to feel regretful, but for the Qing army in the city, it was infinitely terrified.

It was just the first day and the battle was like this, so how should we defend it later?

Ajige was furious about this and executed several generals who were unfavorable to defend the city. Even Huang Taiji's eleventh son Bomuboguoer was executed by Ajige because he fled to the city wall before fighting.

There was no way, when the Ming army attacked the city for the first time, Ajige tried his best to kill a few people and warned the Manchu nobles that this city would be difficult to defend.

That night, in the Ming army camp.

The soldiers of various Ming troops who participated in the siege retreated into the camp to rest. The generals took stock of the losses and placed the wounded, and then went to the commander's tent to discuss matters.

In this battle, the Ming army attacked the four gates at the same time, and the Ming army attacked Chaoyang Gate and Xizhi Gate, all of which climbed to the top of the city, but the Ming army also suffered huge casualties for this.

The Ming army of Li Dingguo, Jin Shenghuan, Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi and other units died in battle, more than 4,000 people were injured, and more than 7,000 people were injured and more than 1,000 people were injured and more than 1,000 were injured and more than 1,000 were injured and killed in the imperial guards.

Such a great battle loss made many generals whose blood was gone, and they were shocked by the tragic deaths and injuries in the siege.

Of course, the large casualties caused were mainly because both sides used firearms in large quantities.

In the past, if you put on armor and have arrows on your body, you might not die, but muskets are different. The armor-breaking ability is much stronger than bows and arrows and swords. If you hit the previous shot, you will basically be useless.

At this time, everyone talked about their respective situations.

Li Dingguo frowned and said, "It seems that Ajige blocked all the gates of the city and made up his mind to defend himself and wait for help."

"If the city gate hadn't been blocked by stones this time, I might have rushed into the city." Li Yuanyin said regretfully.

Zhao Ming waved his hand, "Today, we just tentatively attacked the city, and the results were already good. This time we have also figured out the truth of the Qing army. Next time we attacked, we would be a one-time deal, and we would definitely break through the city and capture Ajige alive."

When everyone heard the words, they thought so.

I almost broke through today, and after I am fully prepared next time, I will definitely be able to break the city.

"What Your Highness said is reasonable." The generals looked happy.

At this time, Wang Shuang suddenly hurried into the commander's tent, and Zhao Ming, who was a little panicked, bowed and said, "Your Highness, I have something urgent to report."

Zhao Ming narrowed his eyes, his heart trembled slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"

Wang Shuang glanced at the generals around him, but didn't say anything.

Zhao Ming then waved his hand and said, "Come on."

Wang Shuang then whispered in his ears, and Zhao Ming's face gradually became extremely gloomy.

When many generals in the big tent saw this, they couldn't help but wonder, and wanted to ask but couldn't ask.

At this moment, Zhao Ming suddenly waved his hand and said, "Today's discussion ends here." After saying that, Zhao Ming stood up, left the position of commander with a deep face, and went to the screen.

This made Li Dingguo and others look at each other. I wonder what happened. Did Wu Sangui send troops?

This was expected by the Regent and he had made plans, so he should not be so ruthless!

The generals were confused, but they could only leave the coach's tent. Everyone asked Wang Shuang, but Wang Shuang shook his head and refused to say it, which made everyone even more surprised.

Hundreds of thousands of troops had already surrounded Beijing, and Ajige became a turtle in the jar. Seeing that the great cause of anti-Qing was about to be successful, no changes could happen.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Li Dingguo, Jin Shenghuan, Gao Yigong and others made an appointment to come.

Zhao Ming's reaction yesterday made everyone feel uneasy, and they were thinking about what happened.

During this Northern Expedition, Zhao Ming gave them some vassal states that sent troops and also divided some farm shares.

Therefore, conquering Beijing was to conquer the Qing Dynasty, restore the Shenjing, and revive the Ming Dynasty, for their own interests.

This kind of thing that is in line with the interests of the court and the interests of the vassal states can be said to be a rare encounter in a century, and everyone does not want to give up halfway.

The group made an appointment to come outside the coach's tent and happened to see Wang Shuang coming out.

"Oh~ Dear generals, I am ordered to invite you!" Wang Shuang saw everyone and said.

At that moment, everyone entered the handsome tent, as if they had known that everyone would come. The guard had already set up a table in the tent and was serving wine and food on the table.

The Regent's military discipline was strict. During the marching and fighting, drinking was strictly prohibited. When Li Dingguo saw the jar of wine on the table, he couldn't help but frown, and his sense of ignorance was even more obvious.

Everyone cooked in the tent for a while, and the food was prepared, so Zhao Ming came out from behind the screen in a regular dress.

"Sit all!" Zhao Ming greeted everyone.

Li Dingguo and others felt a stern heart. They had never seen the Regent so haggard and in such a low mood.

For a moment, everyone did not dare to say or ask, so they could only sit down with trepidation.

Zhao Ming picked up the wine pot, poured a glass of wine for everyone, then picked up the glass, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Li Dingguo couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, what happened?"

Just wait for you to ask.

Zhao Ming used his acting skills, picked up the wine glass, and put down his tears before he could speak.

Seeing the regent's eyes filled with tears, it was said that her husband would not let tears easily, but before he reached the sad place, everyone felt soft when they saw this scene.

Jin Shenghuan said in surprise: "Your Highness, why is this?"

Zhao Minghu's eyes were filled with tears, and put down his wine glass again, saying sadly: "The Gu Wang has been in the rise of more than fifteen years. Since the day of his rebellion, he has been determined to expel the Tartars, recover the Shenjing, restore the Han family, and revive the Ming Dynasty. However, it has not been easy for me to go along with the battle to restore the Nandu. Back then, the Gu Wang could have taken advantage of the situation to recover the north, but Gu Wang betrayed the treacherous ministers and 30,000 soldiers died tragically in Jiangbei. Now several years have passed, Gu Wang has launched an army to fight in the north, and is about to recover the Shenjing, but~"

Li Dingguo was shocked and said, "But what?"

Zhao Ming shook his head in pain, "But, the royal family of the Supreme Emperor, the Tang King, the King of Yue, and the King of E rebelled in Nanjing, put the emperor under house arrest, and falsely passed the imperial edict to make Gu a traitor. The king of Gu fought for his life and was resentful to the Ming Dynasty. Why did he suffer such treatment?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned and could not speak for a long time.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Zhao Ming was anxious and it was time to express his opinion! No one answered this, it was too embarrassing that he could not continue acting.

Zhao Ming could only continue, "In the near future, Nanjing will definitely send a secret envoy to inform you to wait and let you capture the Gu Wang. Gu Wang knew that you still have doubts about Gu's loyalty, and Gu would not make things difficult for you. You will lead your own troops, but this great cause of restoring Shenjing will be abandoned halfway."

The generals were silent for a while, and Jin Shenghuan suddenly slapped the table and said, "There is no Your Highness in the world, and the Ming Dynasty has long been destroyed by Jiannu. If the Supreme Emperor and the royal family want to deal with Your Highness, they will ignore the righteousness and can be regarded as a rebellion. I will follow Your Highness firmly!"

Seeing this, Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi and others immediately expressed their opinions: "Your Highness is the Regent, who acts on behalf of the emperor. Before returning to power, all the military and political affairs, and the ministers obey the orders of the Regent."
