Chongzhen three years, early March.

Wang Chengen personally pressed the formation, and brought the elite of the two factories and one guard to escort the allocated food and baggage, and came to Xuanfu in a mighty way.

On the city of Xuanfu, the pennant was unfurled, and all the sergeants were ready to fight.

A murderous aura permeated from the city to the outside of the city.

Wang Chengen, who was stopped by the moat, dismounted with a smile and walked to the river, and personally shouted loudly.

"Then it's me, it's me, hahaha..."Wang Chengen pointed his finger at himself and shouted loudly.

Wang Zezhi stood under the city wall, saluted him, and said: "In extraordinary times, don't slack off, so you snub the angels, and please don't mind the angels." ”

"You, what are you talking about?"

"Someone, quickly open the city gate and drop the drawbridge."

"Yes."

The drawbridge was lowered, and Wang Zezhi led the troops in armor and personally came to the city gate to greet him.

Wang Chengen looked at it with a smile, took out the holy decree and began to read it.

Seeing this, Wang Zezhi knelt on the ground and asked for advice.

"Shanxi General Army, a first-class Ronglu doctor, Wang Zezhi resolutely attacked the Tartars outside the Guan, Chen soldiers under the city of Shenyang, to protect the country and the people, and I am very heartfelt.

Reward, one million stones of grain and grass, and two million taels of salary.

Given, Wang Zezhi is the north of the town, stationed in Datong, Hetao, Naturalization, Tumote, Yongshaobu, Jizhen, Duoyan Sanwei.

Recently, Huang Taiji has not retreated, ravaging the border passes of Jizhen and the four cities of Yongping.

I hope that Wang Zezhi will look up to the grace of heaven, bravely kill the thief, serve the country loyally, and quickly play the good news, and I will do this! ”

Wang Zezhi took the holy decree with both hands, and Wang Chengen solemnly paid court salutes to Wang Zezhi, and said seriously: "Zhenbei Bo, Jizhen depends on you."

This is the intelligence of the Ministry of War, please take a look. ”

The Ministry of War ordered that as many as 200,000 soldiers from all over the country who came to Qinwang were stationed in Jimen and Gyeonggi.

Supervisor Sun Chengzong, the chief soldier Ma Shilongtun Fengrun to be attacked; Zhu Mei, the general soldier, took Qian'an with guerrilla Jin Guochen; Wang Weicheng and others approached Luanzhou to attack together to contain Qian'an and southern aid; He Kegang of the Chinese army looked at the mountains in equal parts, and led the enemy of Yongping; The righteous army traveled to Liu Fa, garrisoning Liu Qizhi with 30,000 people in Lianbo of Luanzhou, as a supporter and guide.

Sun Chengzong was stationed in Funing, and Zu Dashou also came to meet.

Sun Chengzong's purpose was to recover the four cities of Luanzhou, Qian'an, Yongping, and Zunhua.

As for the city of Jizhen, he thought that this place was decadent, easy to attack and difficult to defend, so it was better to recover Luanzhou.

On the basis of Sun Chengzong's dispatch, the military department ordered Wang Zezhi to attack Jizhen, capture Santun Camp, Xifengkou, Hanerzhuang, and Xiong's Nest to prevent the enemy from invading.

After capturing this place, he sat on the border and surrounded Huang Taiji, leaving the remnants of the golden soldiers who were holding the city.

"This matter cannot be delayed, the last general will set off immediately, and he will not invite the angels, but also hope for the angel Haihan." Wang Zezhi received the order of the military department and prepared to act immediately.

Wang Chengen was not angry, but made a salute and sent Wang Zezhi off.

Fortunately, Wang Zezhi had already made plans for the Eastern Crusade, and the soldiers, horses, food, grass, and baggage under his command had already been in place.

Now plus the food and salary that Chongzhen rewarded him, it is enough for him to go to Jizhen for a wave.

Wang Zezhi returned to the city and summoned Xiong Jiachang and Qi Qi in the general town office, and the heralds were in place.

"Xiong Jiachang, Qi Qi, each of your soldiers and horses will bring seven days of dry food, and the whole army must be drawn within an hour."

"Order."

"Order, order Yu Zhong to come and garrison the city of Xuanfu Town."

"Yes."

"Order, order Li Hua and Wang to act first, our army first, and their grain and grass must follow closely."

"Order."

"Ah Niu, Tuomu stood still, stationed on standby."

"Yes."

The heralds sprang into action and went down to deliver orders.

An hour later, Wang Zezhi's army arrived.

They were majestic, one man and two horses, well-equipped, and in good spirits, and headed for Jizhen.

Wang Chengen didn't go far, he stood on a hill on both sides of the road, looking at the male master under Wang Zezhi, full of emotion.

He was thinking, if the entire Ming Dynasty was such a strong soldier, what Emperor Taiji was afraid of, and what thieves were he afraid of.

"Xiong Jiachang, Qi Qi, in this battle, I have two ways to tell you, you see which one is better."

In the middle of the team, Wang Zezhi said to Xiong Jiachang and Qi Qi.

"I'll listen to whatever you say, my lord." Xiong Jia said with a big grin.

"Please show me what I am." Ziqi replied.

"One is to cross Jizhen, go straight to Xifengkou, and block the Jin people in the pass, and the second is to go out of Xifengkou, detour to Duoyan Sanwei, go deep into the hinterland of Jinguo, and go to Yizhou Wei, this place is the only place where Huang Taiji moves, we set up an ambush here, and he was caught off guard."

"Where the adults say to fight, I will follow it." Xiong Jia Chang doesn't want things, he only knows obedience.

"My lord, I have been bitten by a wild dog before, and he bit me a piece of meat, and I was about to bite it back, so I chased it desperately until I got into an alley, which was full of kennees, and I was almost bitten to death.

I think Huang Taiji is more powerful than a dog, at least it should be a wolf. Ziech thought for a moment and replied.

"You mean, if Huang Taiji dares to kill him, he must have a backhand, if we go deeper, we will encounter an ambush, what you said is not unreasonable.

Then let's cross the town of Ji and go straight to the Xifeng Pass, and trap all the enemies in the pass to death. ”

After his own change, as the battle situation continued to deepen, the Ming army gradually stabilized the battle line under the command and dispatch of Sun Chengzong, and began to organize counterattacks.

Ma Shilong's soldiers and horses on the western front have been assembled, and they have joined up with the Guanning army led by Zu Dashou on the eastern front, intending to block the exit channel of Huang Taiji and trap the enemy in the pass.

However, due to the strong mobility of the Huang Taiji cavalry, he used the method of striking the east and the west to cut off the communication between Ma Shilong and Zu Dashou.

Huang Taiji knew that in the long run, he would definitely be defeated.

Only the soldiers and horses of Zilharang and Abatai were left to guard the four cities of Yongping and delay time.

He himself took advantage of the war and quietly returned to Shengjing.

At the same time, he sent an order back to Shengjing, transferred Amin Bel, who had made a big mistake, and brought 5,000 elite horsemen to exchange guards with the soldiers and horses of Zilharang and Abatai.

At this point, Amin became the supreme commander of the Yongping front.

However, at this time, the four cities of Yongping were already a hot potato for Amin Belle.

First, the four cities of Yongping and Shengjing were separated by a mountain customs and became an enclave, and both the soldiers and the supply of grain and grass became difficult.

If you encounter a surprise attack by the Ming army, there is no way to rescue it.

Second, the location of the four cities of Yongping is dangerous, and the four cities are not collected for a day, and Chongzhen is difficult to sleep for a day.

Therefore, it was only a matter of time before the Ming Dynasty recaptured the four cities of Yongping with heavy troops.

Thirdly, Amin brought only 5,000 soldiers and horses, even if he detained all the soldiers and horses of Jierharang and Abatai, it would only be more than 20,000 people, and in the face of the 200,000 Qinwang army of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible to compete.

When Sun Chengzong's battle to recover Yongping was the first to start from Luanzhou, the defender of the rear army, Namutai, was defeated and fled.

As a result, Namutai did not flee and was intercepted and killed by the Ming army, and only a few dozen people fled back to Yongping City.
