On March 13 of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Khan Emperor Taiji of the Dajin Kingdom paraded in the western suburbs of Shenyang, and the parade had eight banners of Manchuria, two banners of Mongolia, and one banner of Han soldiers, a total of 11 banners.

After the parade, Huang Taiji began to be busy refining the plan again, mobilizing grain and grass, and preparing to go to the army.

On April 24, a ten-mile company camp outside Shenyang was unfurled.

Ao Bai took the selected bannermen of his Jialanei and Aha who had just finished farming, and returned to Shenyang City to assemble again, preparing to follow the Great Khan to the west to conquer the Ming Kingdom.

He led two hundred warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom to infiltrate the Ming Kingdom, and after the failure of the attack on Qin Chuan, he was reprimanded and whipped by the Great Khan in public.

When attacking Lushunkou in July last year, he took the initiative to ask Ying to fight, and took the lead in breaking through the city gate in Lushunkou and made great contributions.

This time the Great Khan conquered the Ming Kingdom, and it was time for him to charge into battle and make contributions.

Coming to the camp, after being reported, Ao Bai walked inside, knelt down on one knee at a middle-aged man in the camp tent, and respectfully said, "Xiaguan Ao worship to see Lord Ezhen."

The middle-aged man was the Yellow Flag Gushan Ezhen Darhan, and when he saw Ao Bai coming in, he smiled and said, "Brother Ao Bai is here, come and come, sit down and talk." ”

"Master Xie."

Ao Bai got up, didn't sit down, but hugged his fists and said: "Lord Ezhen, the official is here to inquire about something with the adult." ”

"Oh, you say."

"This time to conquer the Ming Kingdom, where did our Yellow Flag warriors enter the customs? Did you go to attack the one surnamed Qin in Luliang Mountain? ”

Hearing this question, Darhan couldn't help laughing a few times, stood up, walked to Aobai's side, and asked, "Brother Aobai, do you want to kill Lou Fu and take the head of the person surnamed Qin to take revenge, right?" ”

Ao Bai nodded: "Since the return of Luliang Mountain, the lower officials have always wanted to step on Luliang Mountain and sword the head of Qinchuan. ”

Darhan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Last year, Qin Chuan rebelled, so that thousands of warriors of my Dajin Kingdom waited for months in the area of Qingshui River, which made the Great Khan extremely angry, you can rest assured, the Great Khan will not let him go." ”

"As for where we enter the yellow flag......

Speaking of this, Darhan walked to the desk, called Ao Bai over, pointed to a map on the table, and said in a low voice:

"The Great Khan ordered the Great Baylor to enter the area of Desheng Fort from Datong Town in the Ming Kingdom, to clear the military fort from Datong Town to Shuozhou, and we will follow the Yellow Flag with the Great Khan from the entrance of Zhangjiakou Dining Fort, and all the way to the west to attack the counties along the way, merge Shuozhou with Dabeile, take Shuozhou first, and then break the Ningwu Pass, and drive south by Ningwu Chang to capture Jingle and Lou Fu, and when the time comes, it is necessary to capture the surnamed Qin alive, and naturally there is a chance for the Ao Bai brothers to show their skills."

Ao Bai looked at the map carefully, and finally pressed his finger on Lou Fu's position, and his eyes flashed fiercely.

……

On April 26 of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Xiaoman.

Huang Taiji personally led an army of 80,000 and marched to the west.

He set out on this expedition more than half a month earlier than the time in history.

Because after entering the Ming Realm, he still has to attack Luliang Mountain, which will inevitably take some more time.

In order to avoid missing the autumn harvest on the return trip, he set out as soon as the spring ploughing was over.

He was accompanied by Beledesan the Great, Derg, Dolgon, Azig, Dordor, and others.

Among the 80,000 troops, there were 30,000 bannermen and 50,000 ahabs.

In addition, the Mongolian tribes along the way, such as Korqin, Zalut, and Tumut, have gathered 20,000 Mongolian cavalry, and as soon as Huang Taiji arrives, these Mongolian people will join the army, and the final total strength will exceed 100,000.

The large-scale expedition of the Shenyang side failed to hide from the eyes of the Ming army.

However, the Ming army only saw the Houjin army bypassing the Guanning defense line and heading west, and did not know whether the Houjin went to attack the rest of Chahar or made a detour into the Kou border.

The Tang newspaper was soon transmitted back to Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and then to Shanhaiguan, and finally 800 miles to Jingshi.

When Zhu Youzhen got the Tang report, his face suddenly became solemn.

According to the performance of the Ministry of War, Lin Dan Khan has led the Chahar Department to escape into the Qinghai area, and its strength is declining day by day, and there are few remaining troops in the Hetao area.

At this time, a soldier Lang Zhong suddenly went up, saying that as early as March, Lou Fu Qin Chuan had issued a warning to the Xuanda guard, the third division of Taiyuan Yangqu and the new governor Dai Junen: In April and May this year, Dongnu will have a large-scale expedition, and its troops will be directed at Xuanda.

"Why is it Qin Chuan again?" The whole book

Zhu Youzhen threw the music in his hand and scolded angrily.

Scolding and scolding, business still has to be done.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly issued an order for Jiliao and Xuanda to quickly find out the movements of Dongnu and strengthen defense and sentinels.

Not long after, another Tang newspaper came: the Dongnu army had crossed Yanshan and was heading for Xuanda.

Zhu Youzhen suddenly remembered that Qin Chuan had warned the imperial court......

How did he guess?

Zhu Youzhen couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly ordered Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, and Zhang Quanchang, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, to return to their respective stations, strengthen their defenses, and work together to resist the enemy.

As for Qin Wei, what if he was allowed to run rampant a few more times?

Wang Pu and others had an unfavorable first battle, and then continued to besiege Ninghua Institute for more than ten days, and Zhu Youzhen only learned about it a few days ago.

In this regard, Zhu Youzhen could do nothing but throw things and scold people.

I'd rather let the Qin thief get away with it for a few more days, and never let Dongnu enter the customs.

Therefore, he could only let Qin Yi get away with it for a few more days.

……

Western Road Front, Fangshan Fort.

After Zhang Yingchang suffered a great defeat, he retreated to Yongning Prefecture and collected the scattered routs everywhere.

Since then, he has not dared to enter Fangshan Fort.

Because, that place is very difficult to fight.

In the absence of war and no one harassed him, Ren Liang forcibly changed this people's fort into a majestic military fort, and transferred two hundred reserves to garrison Fangshan Fort with his Longwu battalion to protect the newly relocated people for spring plowing and sowing.

On the eastern front, Ni Pet has not been able to capture this military fort surrounded by water on both sides, nor can he cross it.

In desperation, he had to surround Luyukou Fort, dig up the road, build fortifications, and plan to wait for the 35,000 troops of Wang Pu Na on the North Road to conquer Ninghua and take Jingle City in the south, causing chaos in the position of the surname Qin.

However, instead of waiting for the good news, he waited for two bad news: the Northern Route Army was defeated, more than 20,000 people attacked Ninghuasu, and returned defeated, with more than 3,000 border troops killed and wounded and captured, and dozens of artillery pieces captured.

Therefore, Wang Pu gave up his plan to storm Ninghua and besieged it for a long time, intending to starve Qin Wei to death there.

The Western Route Army was also defeated, the soldiers were scattered during the siege, the rebel cavalry came out, and pursued dozens of miles away, among Zhang Yingchang's 3,000 troops, less than 1,000 people could return to Yongning Prefecture safely.

After getting these two pieces of bad news, Ni Pet didn't dare to act rashly, so he only surrounded Luyukou Fort and waited for the situation to change.

Just when the Ming army on these two roads was standing still, Feng Yilong was sweeping all the way north from Xingxian with Feng Shanying.

In just half a month, he occupied six villages with large households within a hundred miles north of Xingxian County, and copied the property of four large households.

The other two villages took the initiative to open the door of the village and return to obedience, and the big families in the village did not do anything to hurt the heavens and reason, Feng Yilong did not raid their homes according to Qin Chuan's instructions, but asked them to donate grain and fields.

On the territory of Qinchuan, no large households with more than 500 acres of cultivated land are allowed, even if they are generous and benevolent.

Feng Yilong's pace began to slow down, first, waiting for the construction team to build piers on the banks of the Yellow River that were easy to cross, waiting for the household department and the officials to lead the reserve to take over the villages, and second, waiting for Luo Daniu's footsteps.

Luo Daniu has been besieging Lan City for nearly half a month.

The reason why he has not attacked the city for a long time is that it is really difficult to fight, and he has to spend time to build enough and large enough siege equipment, and second, he has to block the surrounding area first and capture the surrounding villages and towns, which can not only establish enough supply points, but also form a blockade of the city, and try to block the news, even if there are rout troops in the city during the siege, these routs can be intercepted in the periphery.

It is impossible to completely block the message, but it is still possible to use the blockade circle to delay the time when the message is sent out.

Until now, no officers and soldiers have been found who rushed to support Lanzhou.

Now, Luo Da Niu's siege equipment is almost ready.

It's time to siege the city.
