Defeated Amin Belle's ambush, Wang Zezhi did not rush to pursue.

To be on the safe side, he ordered the sergeants to briefly clean up the battlefield and return to Jianzhouwei.

After returning to Jianzhouwei, Wang Zezhi faced a new problem.

Some of his soldiers and horses were stationed out, and this pursuit was ambushed, and thousands of firearms and horses were lost.

The total number of soldiers and horses he can flexibly call on is less than 25,000.

These soldiers and horses, together are strong and weak.

If he gathers troops and storms Shengjing, there is a high chance that his rear supplies will be cut off by the enemy.

If the troops are divided, with the little soldiers and horses in his hands, they can easily be broken by the enemy individually, and finally the whole army will be annihilated.

Wang Zezhi looked at the map of Liaodong, and after careful consideration, he decided to abandon the Northern Fortress (now Harbin), the Long'an Station (now Changchun) where Horqin was stationed in the pastor, Sanwanwei (now Kaiyuan County), Tashan Qianwei, and Jianzhou Wei.

As for the Shenyang Zhongwei on the edge of Shengjing City, he didn't plan to attack it.

In the tenth year of the Mandate of Heaven (1625 AD), Nurhachi out of strategic considerations, set Shenyang Zhongwei as the capital, and in the center of Shenyang, built the place of discussion and politics - the Great Government Hall and the Ten Kings Pavilion, and built a "living palace" on the north side of the central axis according to the Jurchen architectural model, known as the Han Palace.

In the first year of Tiancong (1627 AD), Huang Taiji inherited the throne of Khan and continued to build the Da Nei Gong Que composed of Daqing Gate, Chongzheng Palace, Phoenix Tower, Qingning Palace, Lintoe Palace, Guan Ju Palace, Yanqing Palace, Yongfu Palace, etc.

The current Shengjing City is high and deep, and the defense is solid.

Not to mention that he only brought 30,000 soldiers and horses, even if he brought 300,000 soldiers and horses, more than half of them would be killed and wounded if he wanted to defeat this city.

This is also the reason why Huang Taiji was not in a hurry to return when he received the information that the Ming army had broken into the rear.

Because in Huang Taiji's view, it is impossible to conquer Shengjing City with these rabble in the Ming Dynasty.

After giving up so many cities, Wang Zezhi did not decide arbitrarily.

He wants to concentrate his forces and take Anle Prefecture.

This method of seizing the city can no longer be relied on internally, and it will not work if it is applied internally once.

It is also unrealistic to attack, not to mention that the number of soldiers and horses in his hands is not enough, even if the number of people is enough, it will have to pay a heavy price.

After thinking about it, Wang Zezhi planned to surround Anlezhou, dig trenches, garrison trenches, and trap Anlezhou.

Fortunately, the capture of Jianzhou Wei captured enough prisoners to be used in time.

After encircling Anle Prefecture, Wang Zezhi did not plan to attack, he planned to surround Anle Prefecture and encircle the point for reinforcements.

Encirclement and reinforcement, this tactic was also used by Huang Taiji when attacking the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji lacked siege experience and heavy firearms, and often relied on internal response, persuasion, and luring the Ming army to fight in the face of fortified cities.

Huang Taiji himself, in Ningyuan and Jinzhou, continued to use Nurhachi's method to continue the strong attack, but the result was that he suffered two losses in a row and lost his troops.

Entering the Central Plains, the shortcomings of the Houjin army's siege ability were more obvious, and it was simply unrealistic for a giant city like Jingshi to rely on human lives.

Along the way, Huang Taiji saw this problem more clearly, and he began to seek a solution tactically.

Huang Taiji launched a change in his own position, changed the previous method of attacking, whenever he encountered the city, he took the way of digging trenches and besieging them tightly.

The Ming army could not break through, and the reinforcements were continuously annihilated by the Eight Banners Army, which had already prepared, and the food and grass in the city were insufficient, so they had no choice but to go out of the city to fight, but anyone who went out of the city to fight in the field would be eaten by Huang Taiji's army, after all, there were not as many soldiers and horses defending the city as there were Huang Taiji's soldiers and horses.

This is also one of the reasons why Huang Taiji was able to approach Jingshi all the way.

Wang Zezhi called Yang Guo and Xiao Liuzi over and had a secret conversation.

That night, Wang Zezhi rewarded the whole army and killed the enemy's cattle and sheep captured by Yang Guo and opened the meat for the sergeants.

In the second year of Chongzhen, October 28.

Xiao Liuzi led 10,000 elites into the middle of Tielingwei and Anlezhou, and he wanted to cut off the connection between Tielingwei, Shengjing and Anlezhou.

Yang Guo led a large army to press Anle Prefecture from the front.

Wang Zezhi sat in the Tamulu guard to ensure that their logistics were not lost.

The reason why Wang Zezhi was in a hurry to conquer Anle Prefecture was because he had already taken the grazing land of the Horqin and Keshiketeng tribes, and as long as Anle Prefecture was conquered, his grain route would no longer have to detour from the north.

After conquering Anlezhou, his grain route can go from the station of the Keshiketeng Department to the city of Anlezhou through the Horqin garrison pasture.

With this city as a foundation, he could take the Tielingwei in the south of Anle Prefecture.

During the Ming Dynasty, Tielingwei was set up in Yinzhou, and in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1393), the Tielingwei was migrated to the ancient Yinzhou land between Shenyang and Kaiyuan, and the southern part of the realm belonged to the Liaodong Command Envoy Tielingwei, the west belonged to Liaohetao Fuyuwei, and the north belonged to 30,000 Wei.

After capturing Tielingwei, Shengjing City was exposed to his soldiers, and he could approach Shengjing City at any time.

However, Wang Zezhi did not plan to do so.

His plan was to first capture Anle State, then Tieling Wei, then to the west to capture Guangning Houtun Wei, and then to the west to capture Yizhou Wei.

After capturing these four cities, he could go all the way west and finally join up with the Ming army at Shanhaiguan.

When that time comes, he will not have to risk the annihilation of the entire army and continue to wave on Houjin's territory.

It sounds like a good plan, but it gets harder to actually implement.

After Yang Guo arrived in Anle Prefecture, he found that there were only more than 2,000 enemies defending the city, and if all these people came out, it would not be enough for him to charge.

However, Yang Guo also knew that even if there were only 2,000 people defending the city, his 10,000 people would not want to take the city down.

Because when his people took the ladder to cross the moat and climb the city walls, they would suffer heavy casualties.

Therefore, he strictly obeyed Wang Zezhi's orders.

He commanded the sergeants to drive the prisoners captured by Jianzhou Weinei to the city, and began to dig four trenches around the city, and built a wall more than one zhang high on the spot with the excavated earth.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the third day of November.

On this day, the moats and high walls of the besieging city were officially completed, and the entire Anle Prefecture was encircled like an iron bucket.

The Jin soldiers defending the city never expected the Ming army to make such a ruthless move, they looked down from the city, only to see that these trenches were crooked and difficult to walk, covered with armor and soldiers, and it was impossible for them to break through if they wanted to break through.

The most terrible thing is that the food and grass in their city are only enough for a few days, and the city will run out of food after a few days.

At this time, according to Wang Zezhi's order, Yang Guo ordered the Houjin Han soldiers under his command who had just been incorporated to come out and shout.

The Han soldier looked strange with his hair disheveled, but none of the sergeants present laughed at him.

"Those who surrender will not die, and those who resist will not be killed!"

The enemies in the city were horrified when they heard this, and the generals defending the city knew they could not wait any longer.

So, he gathered the soldiers in the city and began to break through.

Yang Guo's eyes lit up when he saw the city gate open and the suspension bridge on the moat falling.

"My lord is really a god, and I can think of this way."

Yang Guo sighed with emotion, pulled out his saber, and pointed to the world to order.

"All the army is ready!"

The sergeants who had been around the city for a long time were already a little impatient.
