Chapter 192: Hunting the Jurchen 12

"This group of Ming troops is really tenacious!" Looking at the tens of thousands of Ming troops who retreated from the enemy again in the dark night, Nuer Hachi sighed. And his enemy, needless to say, was none other than Sun Chengzong, who had four general soldiers.

Since they were embellished by the Jurchens, they have never been thrown off, and the other party doesn't seem to be in a hurry to attack, but they just keep following, whether they are charging and shooting arrows, and constantly harassing them. Jurchen's arrows are very poisonous, they are all big bows and heavy arrows, and they are very powerful, as long as they are shot, it is almost impossible to live.

Charging again and again, flying again and again, and the situation that they couldn't fight back just by being beaten, so that those routs ran away one after another, and in the end, only four general soldiers were left, and these people were the forces that Sun Chengzong could directly control and control.

In the process of retreating, Sun Chengzong, with his superb command ability and military wisdom, repelled the Jurchen attacks many times, and even retained most of the grain, and only a small part was robbed by the Jurchens to maintain their survival.

Fortunately, the Jurchens wasted two days because they wanted to loot the spoils of Guangning and the surrounding stronghold fortresses, allowing them to run most of the distance, so they only coped with the pursuit of several small forces of the Jurchens, and Ning Yuan was in sight, and they were gradually approaching here.

Ningyuan didn't build a city here, what was here was just a small guard, which couldn't be used for defense at all, fortunately, Sun Chengzong's purpose was not here, but to cross here, and drag the Jurchens over here.

Ningyuan is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the sea on one side, its east is the first mountain, and the west is the cave mountain, and the road in and out is sandwiched in the middle, although the road is not narrow, but the terrain is complicated, taking advantage of the terrain here, ambushing a wave of Jurchens, and driving them away, Sun Chengzong walked away without looking back, and did not look at Ning Yuan.

The slave Hachi, who followed him, also came here half an hour after Sun Chengzong's departure, and he was already filled with anger, and he only glanced at this place cursoryly, and hurried after his enemy. Although he felt that the terrain here was strange, he didn't think much about it, but Huang Taiji, looking at the surrounding terrain, made a thoughtful expression.

It's just that on the way to pursue the enemy, there was not much time for him to think, and a large number of Jurchen cavalry entered from the north, and then went out from the south, without staying here too much. I didn't notice that in the guard house built on the seaside, there were people secretly peeping at it all the time.

"Quick, go and rule Your Majesty, the Jurchens have already crossed Ning Yuan!" Jinyiwei, who was here to listen to the information, looked excited, and after the departure of Nuer Hachi's large army, they secretly went out of the city, came to the sea, dragged a small boat from the secret place, and went straight to Juehua Island.

The Liaoxi Corridor is the only passage between eastern Liaodong and the interior, and the Jurchens have no other way than to make a detour to Mongolia and enter the Central Plains if they want to enter the Central Plains. Ningyuan is located in the middle of the West Liaoning Corridor, with a dangerous terrain and a critical location, and it is also a necessary city to enter and exit the West Liaoning Corridor.

About an hour later, a large number of black spots appeared on the sea outside Ningyuan, which were small at first, but soon grew in size, and then there were white soft sails and dense fortune boats.

Ningyuan is near the sea, and the Ming Kingdom is not a race like the Jurchens who have no seafaring ability, there are naturally ports and docks here, although they are small and broken, but they are enough for those lucky ships to dock.

Soon, the Galen ship with soft sails stopped, and the Fu boat behind did not stop, quickly crossed them, came to the shore, and began to dock, and then, a group of Yulin soldiers came down from the ship and assembled on the shore, they held spears and firearms, formed a phalanx, guarded this place, and ensured the subsequent safe landing.

As more and more people grew, the Yulin army began to set up camp, build camps, and all kinds of supplies were also sent down, in addition to gunpowder projectiles, the most important artillery was the first to be sent down.

Subsequently, the commander of the artillery regiment began to look for a suitable hill and arrange artillery positions. The position is divided into two parts, one part is located at the head of Ning Yuanwei's city, although the city wall is not very high, but it is also a commanding height, and the other is placed on the slope of the west half of the mountainside, the condescending terrain can almost increase the range of the artillery by half, so that with the cannon of the gunboat and the artillery of the head of Ningyuan City, the entire western Liaoning corridor can be blocked.

The terrain of the Western Liaoning Corridor is narrow, with a width of about eight to fifteen kilometers, while the place where Ning Yuan is located is not the narrowest, but it is not wide, and it is only ten kilometers.

The firing range of the six-pound cannon is three kilometers, the twelve-pound cannon is also three or five kilometers, and the latest sixteen-pound gun of the navy is a terrifying five kilometers.

"Almost, let's camp here!" Sun Chengzong looked at the sky, and after calculating the time for him to leave Ning Yuanwei, he said to the four general soldiers who had been following him.

In the corridor of western Liaoning, there are large and small guards, after leaving Ning Yuanwei, in front of Sun Chengzong, there is Ning Yuanzhong. There, there are the two generals he sent before, Luo Yiyi and Zu Dashou.

Although Sun Chengzong was being pursued, he did not cut off the connection with the rear, and the pursuit stopped all the way, so that he had plenty of time to arrange, Luo Cheng and Zu Dashou had gathered 30,000 elite men and horses, and they had been waiting for orders here.

Although Sun Chengzong kept running, he did not abandon a carriage, he would rather throw the grain on the cart to the Jurchens than give up the carriage, because this is what they camped in, and it is also a sharp weapon to repel the Jurchen attacks many times.

Hearing his order to set up camp, the four general soldiers soon began to lead people to act, these actions have been done many times along the way, very skilled, the soldiers methodically put the carriage together, and then formed a circle, just when the camp just had a prototype, a few fast horses galloped out, they were to inform Luo Yi and Zu Dashou, come to meet the enemy.

After many days of fighting, the strength of the four general soldiers was reduced by more than 10,000 people, and they were also very tired, and their combat effectiveness declined seriously.

Boom, not long after the fast horse left, the Jurchen iron horse rolled in.

"Come on, just drag you for a night, and you won't go." Looking at the black torrent, Sun Chengzong muttered to himself, his eyes were blood-red, obviously the old man was very tired after many days of escape.

Soon, the Jurchen army came to the camp, and Nuer Hachi drove forward, looking angrily at the camp in front of him, it was the Ming army generals inside, so that he repeatedly failed to succeed, but lost a lot of soldiers and horses. And until now, he didn't know who was in command inside.

But Huang Taiji didn't pay attention to these, he just looked at the other party's camp strangely, he found that the other party's camping method this time was completely different from before, this time it was much stronger and clumsy, and he couldn't evacuate in time, and the other party didn't seem to plan to leave.

"Aren't you running away?" Huang Taiji's eyes flickered, and his brain kept thinking, trying to find out the other party's reliance.
