Two days after Zhu Youzhen set off with Guanning Iron Cavalry, Man Gui led 30,000 Ming troops and 40,000 people to leave the Daling River and go straight to Guangning City.

Along the way, more than 10 large and small guard forts were captured, and three days later, the army arrived in Quang Ninh.

Quang Ninh City sits in the north and faces south, the south is wide and the north is narrow, the circumference of the city is 14 miles, the city wall is two zhang high, there are city gates all around, and there are two south gates among them.

There is also a moat outside the city, which is more than two zhang wide, but because of the great drought in Liaodong this year, the water is dry in winter, and there is no water in the river.

Outside the moat, it can be seen that the pit that has just been dug and the things set up to prevent horses and thorns are urgently set up by the defenders of the city when they heard that the Ming Dynasty army was coming.

At this time, the garrison in the city was the son of Daishan, one of the four great Baylors, and Yue Tuo, the lord of the Red Banner Banner.

After Huang Taiji advanced westward, he ordered Yue Tuo to be stationed in Guangning, and left 3,000 elite banners to help him defend the city to defend the back road of Huang Taiji.

A day ago, Yue Tuo learned from the remnants of the army who had fled back from Yizhou Fort that the Ming army had raised an army of 30,000 and went straight to Quang Ninh.

On the one hand, Yue Tuo sent people to verify the authenticity of the information, and on the other hand, he ordered people to strengthen the city wall, and then sent people to inform Huang Taiji of the matter.

At this time, on the drum tower in the city of Guangning, Yue Tuo looked at the 30,000 troops and 50,000 people of the Ming army, and was speechless in surprise.

According to the previous report of the Houjin spies, when the Houjin set out for the expedition half a month ago, the Ming army did not make any moves.

How could the Ming army organize such a huge army in just five days?

Before Houjin sent troops to Hudun Rabbit, according to spy intelligence, the four major Baylors and the four small Baylors had a heated discussion on whether the Ming army would send troops to cut off their back roads.

In the end, Huang Taiji, who was known for his wisdom and strategy, believed that the new emperor of the Ming Kingdom ascended the throne, and the situation was not stable, and the ministers would never agree to rashly send troops, and as for the sixteen-year-old boy Tianzi, Huang Taiji thought it was even less worth mentioning.

So he decided that the Ming Kingdom would not send troops, so there was a large army to conquer Hudun Rabbit.

Moreover, according to the infiltration of the high-level Ming Dynasty by the Later Jin spies, Huang Taiji's speculation was also confirmed.

Despite this, Huang Taiji, who was known for his cunning and prudence, still deployed ten Niu Lu's troops in Quang Ninh, and sent his confidant Yue Tuo, who was known for his stability, to take on this important task.

Huang Taiji believes that with the stability of Yue Tuo, as well as the 3,000 elite and 20,000 Baoyi Aha in the city, even if the Ming army raises a large army to attack, it will take more than a month to get down the city.

A month later, the battle of Hudun Rabbit had already ended, and the Ming army had nothing to worry about.

Yue Tuo looked at the mighty and boundless Ming army banner battle, although he felt shocked, he still felt that he had won in his heart.

Until he saw a bright yellow sun, moon and golden dragon flag.

"Emperor Ming has personally conquered?"

Yue Tuo couldn't believe it, rubbed his eyes, and then looked at the banner again.

But under the banner of the sun, moon and golden dragon, there was a bright umbrella cover, and a brown steed below sat a man in bright yellow clothes.

Because of the distance, I couldn't see the person's appearance very clearly, but Yue Tuo didn't know why, but felt that it was more likely to be Emperor Ming.

So, Yue Tuo's hand on the pergola began to tremble.

In fact, if Zhu Youzhen was by Yue Tuo's side at this time, he would definitely know Yue Tuo's mental activities very well at this time.

Murphy's Law, the more you are afraid of something, the more it will come.

"Go, send someone to verify, is it the Ming Emperor's personal expedition?"

Yue Tuo then commanded, and then went down the drum tower and headed for the southern city wall.

On the south city wall, at this time it was a little closer to the Ming army, Yue Tuo could see the figure of the man a little, and he was sure that it was a young man, but whether it was the Ming Emperor or not, Yue Tuo also needed the intelligence of the Ming army's spy to confirm.

"Yue Tuo'er, my emperor is driving in person, and he won't be captured soon."

The roar of the army was like a bell, and Yue Tuo was immediately startled.

"It must be the Ming Emperor."

Yue Tuo said to his younger brother Shuo Tuo a little nervously.

As a result, the younger brother Shuoto was even more nervous than him, and said when he heard this.

"Brother, let's run."

When Yue Tuo heard this, he was almost petrified on the spot, and he was even more speechless for this younger brother.

Shuo Tuo is the younger brother of Yue Tuo's mother, and his father Dai Shan dislikes their mother very much, so he does not like their brother either.

And after the death of his mother, Dai Shan abused the two brothers even more.

In the end, even his father Nurhachi couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the two brothers to his eldest concubine Menggu Zhezhe to raise them.

And Meng Gu Zhezhe is Huang Taiji's biological mother, so Yue Tuo has had a good relationship with Huang Taiji since he was a child.

After coming of age, Nurhachi Zhun Yuetuo and Shuotuo built mansions and mansions.

Because the mansion built by the two brothers was better, Dai Shan was red-eyed, so he told Nurhachi that his mansion was too small, and if he wanted to change it to a bigger one, the two brothers would be good.

Nurha was angry, so he picked up the whip and drove Daishan out.

However, because Shuo Tuo was afraid of his unobtrusive father when he was a child, his house was eventually taken away by Daishan.

Shuoto, who couldn't stand Daishan's long-term abuse, suddenly disappeared after the house was taken away.

At that time, everyone rumored that Shuotuo had gone to Ming, and Dai Shan was the initiator of this matter.

Before he could figure out whether Shuotuo was Ming, Dai Shan insisted that Shuotuo was Ming.

After finding Shuoto, after he made it clear that he had not defected to Ming, Daishan still knelt down to Nurhachi five or six times and asked for Shuotuo to be executed, but Nurhachi naturally refused.

And Nurhachi felt suspicious, so he ordered someone to investigate the abuse of his ex-wife and two sons.

After the investigation was conclusive, Nurhachi was furious, and whipped Dai Shan on the spot, ordered him to return Shuo Tuo's house, and then ordered Yue Tuo, Shuo Tuo and Dai Shan to split up.

Since then, although the two brothers have escaped the clutches of Daishan, the shadow of the original family has created Yue Tuo's indomitable character and Shuo Tuo's somewhat cowardly nature.

Yue Tuo looked at this younger brother who was beaten by his unlucky father a lot, although he was a little speechless, but he was also a little pitiful.

"I haven't figured out if it's the Ming Emperor, my brother don't panic, and it's the Ming Emperor who is here, we have a lot of soldiers, the city is strong, and it won't be a problem to guard him for a month."

"A month later, the fourth uncle will lead the army back, and when the time comes, the Ming Emperor will not return."

Yue Tuo is cheering for Shuotuo, but he is actually cheering for himself.

Although the Ming army was weak and lost more than won in the battle with the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the long-term power of the Ming Dynasty was still there.

Rao is Yue Tuo is not afraid of the Ming army, but he is still a little timid about the Ming Emperor who is personally driving.

On the same day, the Ming army camped under the city and sent people to cut down trees everywhere and began to build siege equipment.

That night, in the city of Guangning, Yue Tuo also learned from the spy that the Ming Emperor had indeed come to Jinzhou.

But whether the Ming Emperor who attacked Guangning with the Ming army general Man Gui is really the Ming Emperor or his stand-in, the spy is unknown, but there is indeed no Ming Emperor in Jinzhou City.

"Emperor Ming is really here."

Yue Tuo muttered to himself.

Subsequently, a group of Manchurian elite horsemen took advantage of the night to leave the city and go west.

But in the second half of the night, a few more horsemen entered Guangning City from the east gate, and after a stick of incense, they came out of the west gate of Guangning City and galloped westward.
