The weather was gloomy, the sky was full of thick low-lying gray-yellow clouds, and the northeast wind whined and roared, running ragingly in the wilderness, as if it were a sharp sword, piercing straight through and drilling into the thick leather jacket.

On the wall of Xingshan City, the two Tartar colonels huddled together with their spears, and their mouths kept snorting into their hands, "I said what do you want us to come out to patrol in this ghost weather! Where will there be people here! They are all crowded in the greenhouse to enjoy their happiness!" A small school couldn't help but scold.

"Be quiet, don't let people hear you, who called us two unlucky, this ghost weather has to come out to stand guard!" The other colonel, though also full of complaints, was obviously more cautious than the other.

Since the Qing Dynasty sent troops to recapture Xingshan, the Ming Dynasty was no longer able to organize the recapture, but it was just a strong defense, so it caused a strange phenomenon, this Xingshan is located on the front line of the battle between the two armies, but it is unusually calm.

"Report, five miles in front of the general is Xingshan!" said a young colonel with a red face who was red from the cold, and quickly galloped to Wu Sangui's side and said loudly.

"Okay, General Chuanben ordered, after arriving at Xingshan City, all the soldiers lit torches and shouted loudly for war!" Wu Sangui raised the whip in his hand and pointed directly at Xingshan City in front of him.

"Obey!" the colonel turned the horse's head, whipped it hard at the horse's belly, and headed off into the distance.

"Look, look at what it is?" Seeing the light of the fire in the distance, the Colonel quickly woke up his companion who was sleeping next to him.

The little correction who was asleep slept happily, and most of his sleepiness disappeared in an instant when he was pushed like this, and he hurriedly looked in the direction indicated by his companion, and the distant light was like a long dragon lighting up the sky in the distance.

Xiao Xiao didn't seem to believe it, and quickly rubbed his eyes, but the long dragon-like lights did not disappear but got closer and closer to Xingshan City, and the ensuing drum noise seemed to convey the alarm of an enemy attack.

"Quick, blow the alarm, there is an enemy!" The panicked colonel stumbled and fell on the thick stones, and at this time he didn't care about any pain, so he quickly got up and ran down the city.

Soon the entire alarm sounded throughout Xingshan City, and even Tulai, the guard of Xingshan who had already rested, also climbed the castle tower.

"What's the matter? Can anyone tell me what's going on? Doesn't your sentinel have eyes? Don't you see such a big target?" shouted Tourai, who had inspected the situation, almost roaring.

Although Xingshan City is high and thick, the defenders stationed in it are only 5,000 people, but when Turai looked at the city just now, the number of torches alone is estimated to be no less than 50,000.

As for why there are not so many Ming troops, it is because they didn't expect that there would be a Ming army in such a cold weather, so they didn't send sentinels to patrol at all, of course, no one would say this, all the generals and colonels lowered their heads, and no one wanted to scold at this time.

"The general is angry, and it doesn't help to be angry now, the key at the moment is how to resist the enemy. The lieutenant next to Turai whispered.

Turai couldn't do it, holding on to the city wall and panting, his stern eyes swept over the faces of the generals in turn, "What do you all say?"

"It's a big deal to fight with them, our Eight Banners warriors are not afraid of anything, these Nanming barbarians are not our Eight Banners opponents at all. A young player jumped out and said.

"Yes, what are you afraid of them, it's a big deal to fight with them!" The young general's proposal was instantly supported by everyone present.

Looking at the attitude of the crowd, Thulai shook his head. Although Turai is also a military general, he is not brainless, 5,000 people against 50,000 people and he still has to defend the city, and fighting hard with the Ming army is definitely hitting a stone with an egg. These guys in front of him are indeed good at fighting, but when it comes to defending the city, these guys still need a lot of experience.

"The biography will order everyone to immediately send a sentry to Songshan to ask for help. ”

"Yes, the last general will go in person!" The adjutant general hurriedly received the order and went down to prepare.

"There is also an order to the army, no one is allowed to go out of the city to meet the enemy without an order from the general, and those who violate the order will be punished by military law!" Turai thought about it, but he still had to explain it to these reckless people, so as not to ruin the whole great cause because of their impulsiveness.

"Obey!" Although all the generals were not convinced, they were powerless and could only obey the order.

"General, we've been scolding for almost an hour, and we've scolded everything, I don't think this Tartar from Xingshan City will come out!" said the adjutant general while holding his waist and panting.

"It's okay if you don't come out! I don't know what to do when I come out!" Wu Sangui didn't seem surprised.

The closed gate of Xingshan City suddenly opened a small crack, and a cavalry rushed out of the gate with lightning speed and headed towards the east.

"Will the general chase after you?" the adjutant general next to Wu Sangui hurriedly asked.

"Let him go, if he doesn't go, how can Haoge know that Xingshan is surrounded!" Wu Sangui was very calm.

"Hahahaha!" Wu Sangui's words made the generals laugh.

"Order, give up the siege of Xingshan City in two hours, and the whole army will march east to the target Songshan City, and at the same time clear all connections between Xingshan City and Songshan City! From now on, no sentinel will be allowed to enter or leave Xingshan City!" Wu Sangui clamped his legs between the horse's belly and whipped him fiercely, and suddenly a burst of yellow smoke rose from the ground.

Daxingbao encountered the same situation as Xingshan at this time, a large number of Ming troops appeared under the city, but they besieged but did not attack, just kept clamoring and shouting, for fear that the Daxingbao guards would be lost, and hurriedly sent people to Songshan for help.

Matsuyama Castle, although it was late at night, but at this time the castle guard mansion was brightly lit, and the generals and colonels of Matsuyama Castle were gathered here to wait for Prince Su's order.

The letters for help from Daxingbao and Xingshan had arrived at Songshan Castle half an hour ago, and Haoge was crouching at his desk and carefully observing the map.

"Lord Wang, Xingshan and Daxingbao can't be lost! This is what our warriors fought back with flesh and blood, and they can't be lost!" The generals who got Xingshan and Daxingbao besieged were very excited, because they had all experienced those battles and witnessed their comrades falling in a pool of blood.

"Yes, yes, we can't lose it!" The generals present were excited, and everyone shouted loudly to send troops.

"Lord, you must think twice! Before leaving, Prince Rui's order is to defend Matsuyama Castle!" Unlike everyone present, Sonny was not carried away by hatred, in his opinion, Matsuyama Castle is the first priority.

"This 、、、、、、" Hauge, who was about to make up his mind, was a little shaken by Sony's words, after all, now is not the time for his father to reign, and Hauge must be very careful now.

"What do you mean, Sony, are you provoking the feelings between the prince and the soldiers? When did our warriors of the Qing Dynasty abandon their companions, do you want to force the prince to become that kind of person?" Sony's words instantly aroused public anger in front of everyone, and everyone kept accusing.
