"Brother, both groups of people have gone out."

"Hmm."

Yue Tuo sat on the chair, trying to adjust his breath, and the news he had just received made him a little flustered.

But Yue Tuo's life experience since he was a child made him calmer the more he encountered major events.

"Brother, why didn't the Ming army besiege the city?"

Shuoto was a little puzzled

"He's waiting for us to deliver a letter to the fourth uncle."

"Huh? Aren't they afraid that the fourth uncle will come to help? ”

"They just want the fourth uncle to come to the rescue, so that the siege of Hudun and Rabbit will be solved."

"Will the fourth uncle become a teacher?"

Shuoto asked again.

"Yes."

Yue Tuo still closed his eyes.

"The fourth uncle is so wise, how can he be fooled?"

Shuo Tuo felt that what his brother could see, his wise fourth uncle would not fail to see.

"Tieshan went down in half a day, Yizhou went down in one day, you also read the battle report just now, the Dongjiang Army has entered Kuandian, under Kuandian, even the mountain pass is not far away, after the Lianshan Pass, where will it be, I don't need to say it."

Yue Tuo said this, and opened his eyes slightly.

"And in my Guangning, the Ming Emperor is the imperial commander again, intending to take away my Guangning and cut off the back road of our Dajin main force, so that the Dongjiang army can become a plough court and sweep the holes."

"You also know that there are only more than 10,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners left behind by our Dajin, and they are also stationed in more than 20 large and small cities, and those small forts are also scattered with a lot of troops.

"Our Dajin rear is in danger, how dare the fourth uncle not come back to help."

"Moreover, the Ming army's plan is all a clear card, even if the fourth uncle knows, there is no way, the Han people have a book of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" to record this plan, called attacking it and saving it."

Shuoto let out an 'oh' when he heard this, and he didn't know if he really understood it, or if he didn't know how to pretend to understand.

"Brother, this is not right, the fourth uncle once said that the Ming army has always been full of stupid tricks, why is it so powerful today, even the emperor dares to drive the expedition in person."

Shuotuo looked suspicious again, feeling that his brother had said too much about Ming Jun.

"Alas, this is what I am most worried about, I saw that the battle report said that the Dongjiang Army went down to Yizhou City in one day, and when I conquered Korea at the beginning of the year, I saw Yizhou City, the city is high and deep, that is, our Eight Banners Army attacked the city, and it took three days, could it be that this Dongjiang Army really has God's help?"

Speaking of this, Yue Tuo straightened up, and remembered the eight big characters on the battle report, "There was a loud noise in the middle of the night, and the city wall was destroyed", and he felt even more uneasy.

Interception in front, sweeping in the rear, this time the Ming army seems to have the guidance of a master, could it be that there is really heaven to help the Ming army?

Two months ago, the auspicious matter of the Qianqing Palace in the Ming Dynasty had already spread to the high-level of the Houjin, and the more Yue Tuo thought about it, the more he felt that the Ming army's attack seemed to have the guidance of a master, and that master, he suspected that it was the Ming Emperor himself.

And it seems that only the Ming Emperor himself can lead the armies of all walks of life in the east to cooperate with the battle so smoothly.

And at this moment, a rush of footsteps interrupted Yue Tuo's train of thought.

"Master, the rear is urgent."

When Yue Tuo heard this, he immediately stood up.

Could it be that Mao Wenlong has taken Kuandian?

"Quick."

A guard walked in with a messenger.

"Kuandian lost?"

Yue Tuo asked nervously when he saw the messenger.

"Master, it's not Kuandian, it's Pingxi Fort that has been lost."

When the messenger had finished speaking, he fell to his knees.

When Yue Tuo heard this, he was even more surprised, and he stumbled and sat down on the chair behind him.

Pingxi Fort is the west gate of Liaoyang and Shenyang, Pingxi Fort is lost, then Liaoyang and Shenyang are in danger.

"Tell me, tell me, what's going on with Pincy Fort?"

Yue Tuo couldn't sit upright, so he asked the messenger anxiously.

The messenger reported to Yue Tuo what had happened in Pingxi Fort two days ago.

-------

Two days ago, after Zhu Youzhen led his army to pull out Wenyang Fort and several other small forts, he quickly approached the boundary of Pingxi Fort.

Pingxi Fort is the first big fort between Liaodong and Liaoxi, after Pingxi Fort, it is the hinterland of Liaodong, the north can point to Shenyang, the east is Liaoyang, and the south is Haizhou.

The strategic location of this fort is very important, so Houjin has two Eight Banners elites of Niu Lu stationed here.

But after the apocalypse, the geographical location of this fort is not as important as before.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, the Later Jin seized Guangning and brought the vast land of Liaoxi into the Later Jin rule, and Guangning became a strategic outpost.

Moreover, in the past five years, the Ming army has rarely taken strategic actions from Liaoxi, and the previous strategic outpost Pingxi Fort has gradually become less important.

Despite this, Huang Taiji, who had always been cautious, still left an elite of six hundred people here.

But he never dreamed that the Ming army would one day engage in such a large-scale work of thousands of miles, and it was still when his rear was extremely empty.

But that's what Zhu Youzhen did.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen led 12,000 cavalry to encircle the small Pingxi Fort in an instant.

Previously, Wu Sangui's tactic of leading the striker to sneak attack was directly vetoed by Zhu Youzhen.

Although Pingxi Fort is a fort, there are also 600 garrisons, although the fort is not large, but it is almost impossible to completely annihilate its army.

Since it is impossible to avoid the possibility of the remnants of the Houjin army returning to report the news, it is better to go directly to Pingxi Fort in one go, and then attack Liaoyang before the Houjin mobilizes the army.

Because after Pingxi Fort, it is a one-day journey to Liaoyang.

Seeing that the Ming army was coming, Baya Lazhangjing, who was stationed at Napingxi Fort, quickly sent several teams of cavalry to seize the road and flee, one in the direction of Shenyang and the other in the direction of Guangning.

After several groups of cavalry left the fort, Nabaya Lazhangjing quickly closed the gate of the fort and prepared for the people to be in the fort.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to go to war and take this fort for Your Majesty."

"Cao Guerrilla is brave, I have also heard of it, but don't panic in guerrillas, wait for me to clear the obstacles to the siege of the city, and you will take this fort for me."

Cao Guerrilla is the famous late Ming Dynasty general Cao Wenzhao in history, Zhu Youzhen led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to attack Liaoyang, and specially brought it together.

One is to use its courage to be fearless of death, so that it can be used for tackling fortifications; The second is to use his loyalty and bravery, Zhu Youzhen is still a little relieved that he can't live up to his ancestor's birthday.

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he ordered more than 200 brocade guards with big shoulders and round waists to come out of the ranks, each wearing hard armor and holding a big shield.

Later, the archers of the Guanning army were ordered to step forward and suppress the fire on the archery in the city.

Under the non-stop firing of more than 2,000 archers, more than 200 Jinyi guards dressed in hard armor and holding large shields quickly advanced to a distance of 50 meters in front of the fort.

In milliseconds, everyone took out an iron lump, and according to what Zhu Youzhen had taught before, after pulling out an iron ring, he threw it on the city wall.

In milliseconds, the walls of the fort exploded.

"Guerrilla Cao, it's up to you below."

Zhu Youzhen saw that the fort wall was already full of gunsmoke, so he gave an order to Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao looked stupid at this time, and Zhu Youzhen said it twice before he reacted.

Although Cao Wenzhao was shocked, the quality of the famous generals was still there, and the soldiers were fast, and he led 3,000 elite soldiers to attack the city wall in a moment.

In order to confuse the Ming army and bluff the number of defenders in the fort, Naba Ya Lazhangjing ordered all the Eight Banners Army to cover the city of Aha to resist the first wave of attacks by the Ming army.

Therefore, the elite of the six hundred and eight banners all stood on the city wall, shooting at the two thousand Ming army, although the number of the Houjin Eight Banners was small, but relying on the advantage of being adept at bow shooting, they did not fall behind at all.

In the middle of the shooting, I saw a group of big men, without any siege equipment, only holding shields and running to the front.

Before the Eight Banners Army in the city could react, countless iron eggs were thrown at them.

Then came a loud bang, mixed with miserable screams, and deadly steel balls flying everywhere.

After a few moments, there were few people standing on the walls.

'More than 200 steel ball grenades, attacking such a dense formation, the scene is truly spectacular. ’

When the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, Zhu Youzhen saw that there was already flesh and blood flying above the city, and he sighed for a moment in his heart.

"Your Majesty, dare to ask what this is? How powerful it is? ”

Zu Dashou only reacted at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Haha, this is a godsend, and the secret of heaven cannot be revealed."

Looking at Zu Dashou's frightened expression, Zhu Youzhen secretly felt refreshed in his heart.

'If you dare to run away next time, I'll give you a shot.' ’
