Babur was right, after the Tang army won this battle, it marched all the way east, and under the guidance of the Qing army attached to the ancestral Shouhong Chengchou department, it crossed the territory of the Naiman tribe eight days later, and then entered the territory of the Karaqin tribe.

After entering the Karaqin Division, the Tang army encountered the same situation as when they passed through the Naiman Division, that is, the large army marched all the way without any Mongol soldiers and horses to intercept it.

For such a result, Duan Shidi and Liu Wenxiu had already expected it, they knew that it must be the sentinel of the Karaqin tribe, and when they saw their huge soldiers and horses marching all the way east, they took away their troops and soldiers and horses as early as possible to avoid being poisoned by the Tang army.

As for whether these Mongols of the Karaqin tribe went to report to the Qing court, it is not known at all. Of course, whether they reported the news or not, Duan Shidi and Liu Wenxiu didn't care, after all, when they were about to attack Qingjing, a frontal battle with the Qing army was inevitable.

Ten days later, the whole army successfully marched through the Karaqin tribe, all the way unimpeded, to the edge of the Liaohe Loop, that is, in the area of Fuxin City, Inner Mongolia, in modern China. At this point, the Tang army led by Duan Shidi was faced with two choices, one was to attack Zhenyuan Fort on the border of Guangning to the south, and the other was to move eastward again, cross the Liaohe Loop, and directly attack Changshan Fort which was quite close to Shenyang.

According to the plan of the time, it is natural to go eastward and attack Changshan Fort with the whole army, so as to take this place as a foothold, and regain with the prince of Su Haoge in Shenyang, and form a mutual arch defense is the best choice. However, there is a saying that people are not as good as heaven, and when the whole army first arrived at the Liaohe Hetao, the weather that had been fluttering with light snow a few days ago suddenly became very cold, and heavy snow was flying down from the sky, and the thick snow blocked the road, making the march of the whole army very difficult and difficult. Therefore, everyone knew that there was no possibility of realizing the plan to continue to cross the Liaohe Loop and march east to Changshan Fort.

At this decisive moment, Hong Chengchou immediately said to Duan Shidi: "Mayor Duan, now that the heavy snow is blocking the road, it is no longer possible to go to Shenyang, and the only way to do this is to turn around and go south to attack Zhenyuan Fort on the border of Guangning, and capture this Qing military fort closest to our army. “

Duan Shidi squinted, snowflakes covered his hair, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Hong Chengchou continued: "Mayor Duan, now that the weather is so bad, we really need to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise, the army will be stuck in the vast snow, but the situation will not be good. As for what will happen in the future after taking Zhenyuan Fort, it is not too late to make a decision. Anyway, if our army wants to move again, it can only fight the Qing army again after the spring thaws, the snow melts, and the roads reappear. ”

After listening to Hong Chengchou's words, Duan Shidi nodded slightly, and recognized Hong Chengchou's proposal very much. He coughed lightly, and then ordered: "Hong Zanhua said that there is a way is better than a plan is not as good as a change, since the road to the east is no longer feasible, the current contingency plan is to when the road has not been completely covered by heavy snow, so that it is impossible to move, the whole army immediately went south, until it reached the Yuanbao of Guangning Town, and quickly captured this important town of the Qing court, and used it as a place to rest and recuperate." As for the future, it will be determined again. ”

As soon as he said this, the whole army listened to the order, and immediately changed the route of the march, and the whole army turned around and headed south, and went to the town and fort in one way.

The sky is full of snow, the vast land is silver-white, like a boundless snow-white silk, and the Tang army, which is struggling to trek in the heavy snow, rolls up the flag and bundles the horse, winding all the way south, like a long black snake that can't see the head and tail.

In such snowy weather, it was a very difficult task to march to the army. Fortunately, the Tang Army on the Western Road, which set out from Xuanfu Town, did not carry large weapons such as heavy artillery, so although this trek in the snow was difficult, it was not yet difficult to move. Two days later, when the heavy snow finally covered all the roads ahead, and it was almost impossible to move forward, this Tang army finally saw the gray shadow of Zhenyuan Fort in the distance.

Seeing this Qing army fort that appeared in front of them, all the Tang troops actually let out a burst of cheers, trekking all the way to them, everyone was exhausted, as if they saw a new hope, and everyone's faces were full of excitement.

As the chief general, Duan Shidi, his face was full of joy, he took out a clairvoyant mirror, carefully looked at the quiet and silent Zhenyuan Fort in the distance, he saw, because of the heavy snow in the world, the soldiers and horses in the fort were all slack, and there was no sentinel to reconnoitre, and the Zhenyuan Fort a few miles away was quiet, and it could be seen that the Qing army was defenseless at all.

Duan Shidi put down the clairvoyant mirror and immediately began to order: "Pass on the military order of this town, and the cavalry will immediately attack in two ways, and block the road to the south of Zhenyuan Fort for me." “

"Obey orders!"

"All the spear and shield infantry obeyed the order, followed closely behind the cavalry, divided into three columns, and surrounded the town except for the north gate, and must not let anyone escape!"

"I understand it below!"

"All the auxiliary soldiers obeyed the order, brought knives and axes and tools, and together with the attached soldiers and horses, went to the nearby forest to cut wood, and hurried to make a stone throwing machine on the spot, ready to throw a cluster of thunderbolts!"

"Obey orders!"

"All the Lu Mi guns obeyed the order, went to the north wall of the Zhenyuan Fort with the town, lined up the array, and prepared to shoot the defenders at the head of the city, so as to establish their authority and kill chickens and monkeys!"

"Obey orders!"

Duan Shidi's military orders were issued one after another, and the entire Tang army suddenly seemed like a completely activated machine, and everyone did their best, and began to act one after another in the heavy snow. Looking down from the sky, all kinds of fast-moving Tang Army troops were like a big net that opened in all directions, and in an instant, the entire Zhenyuan Fort was firmly encircled in it.

When the iron cavalry of the Tang army, like two black arrows, came from both sides of Zhenyuan Fort, the head of Zhenyuan Fort, those lax Qing troops reacted, and for a while, the whole city, the terrible siren, immediately sounded loudly.

At this time, the guard of the city, the third-class La'e Zhen Haninga with a white flag, was drinking and having fun in the official hall of the city, and when he heard such a continuous alarm, his blood-red drunken eyes widened sharply, and his face was suddenly full of extremely incredible shocked expressions.

No way? How could there be a sudden attack by the Tang Army, this, how is this possible?!

Speaking of which, Haninga is also a veteran of the battlefield, and his current performance is so out of shape that it greatly exceeds the expectations of his soldiers.

Haning'a, surnamed Fucha, is a native of Manchuria with a white flag, living in Eyi Lake, and is a well-known general in the early Qing Dynasty. His father, Artu Mountain, led his people to attack the city of Saqiku, killed his minister Kamusunikan, raised more than 300 people, and returned to the old slaves, and was awarded the Ox Lu Ezhen, which began the first step of his career.

There is a way that the father is honored and the son is expensive, and the old man eats meat and the son drinks soup, and the "Manchurian Record" wrote, "Both, divide the people and make up a cattle record, so as to order Haning." After the beginning, Haninga also embarked on the road of military development, and after many years of killing in the east and west, he was awarded the title of Baya Laxu Zhangjing.

In real history, Haninga really began the process of making a fortune after entering the customs from the dragon. According to the record of "Qing Shilu", in the first year of Shunzhi, from entering the customs, Li Zicheng was attacked, Qingdu was fighting, and then the battle was really determined, and Zicheng burned his baggage and left. Two years later, he was awarded the rank of third-class Lazhangjing.

Then, Haning'a chased the thief Suide, took Yan'an, and broke the city. The south is self-contained, the war is safe and the land is safe, and the boat is eighty. Fu and Tan Tai joined forces to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, fought on the river, and captured the enemy's boat. Chased the enemy to Fuchikou, the enemy took the river bank as a formation, and the reattack was defeated. In February of the third year, from Shuncheng County, the king of Luckdehun Lulu Huguang, broke the Ming Dynasty and Wu Ruyi, and descended to a large number of people. In April, he entered the second-class Lazhangjing. In May, from the prince of Su Haoge to beg the rebel general He Zhen, take Hanzhong, and drive the thieves to Qinzhou. Zhen Dangwu Da is based on Sanzhai Mountain, the mountain is steep and unattackable, and the division surrounds it. He will beg Zhou Kede and Shi Guoxi to surrender, Kede sent his son and mentor to climb from a secluded path, and the national seal is the internal response, Haninga and Melle Ezhen Alxa, and the director Baya Laqizhang Jingga Dahun broke 600 people into the base, and the thieves all threw themselves under the cliff and killed them all. Entering Zhang Xianzhong, Kuizhou, Maozhou, Zizhou, and Zunyi, all down. For five years, the division was returned, and he was promoted to the first class Ada Hahafan.

At this point, Haninga reached the peak of his life, and then, this person fell ill and died, but also ended up rich and good.

In this era that Li Xiao traveled through, after Dolgon became the regent, in order to further encircle his generals and subordinates, Haninga was also further promoted like other generals, and was promoted from Baya Lazhangjing to the third-class Lazhangjing, which was three years earlier than the history of obtaining this official title.

After Haninga was promoted, he became more grateful to Dolgon, and he became more and more conscientious about the guarding of Zhenyuan Fort. Just when the Tang army was attacking in the southern part of central Liao, attacking the city and plundering the land, Haning'a, which was guarding Zhenyuanbao, an important town in Guangning, was also stepping up its defenses, and a thousand soldiers and horses in the city patrolled day and night to prepare for the Tang army's attack, but it was busy for a while.

It wasn't until not long ago, because of the heavy snow that fell one after another, and at the same time, the Tang army also suspended its movement after capturing Haicheng, so Haninga breathed a sigh of relief, and the garrison of the entire castle was suddenly relaxed. Every defender in the fort believed that in the current situation, this Zhenyuan fort, which was far away on the border of Quang Ninh, should be worry-free, at least when the spring thaws, and there will be no more foreign invasions.

But I didn't expect that in such a snowy weather, there was never a little news of the Tang army's attack, and these Tang troops who appeared like a different dimension brought psychological shock and pressure to the defenders of Zhenyuan Fort, which can be imagined.

General Haning, a battle-hardened veteran, quickly recovered from his shock, quickly put on his armor, brought a sharp long-handled sword, and hurried to the head of the town to inspect it, surrounded by a group of personal soldiers.

He first climbed to the south gate of Zhenyuan Fort, and as soon as he stood still, he was quickly deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.

He saw that in the heavy snow, the Tang army's iron cavalry, ironclad and banners that bypassed from both sides of Zhenyuan Fort, like two sharp arrows, quickly bypassed the east and west sides of Zhenyuan Fort, and rushed to the south gate of the only exit of Zhenyuan Fort, firmly blocking the only way for the soldiers in the fort to retreat.

After these Tang cavalry, a large number of Tang army spear and shield infantry wearing armor and holding sophisticated weapons also formed a neat line, and drove over in a strict and solemn manner, and thousands of Tang army spear and shield infantry were also all lined up outside the south gate, forming a C-shaped shape in the shape of a moon. This formation, in Haninga's opinion, is similar to an open fishing net. He subconsciously thought sadly, perhaps, this big net opened by the Tang army should be trying to wipe out himself and the soldiers of the whole fort.

Could it be that the Tang army planned to besiege his own town and fortress to death?

Haninga calmed down, and then shook her head at this opinion.

It's just that now the food in Zhenyuan Fort is still sufficient, enough to support all the garrisons for nearly two years, and it is impossible to trap yourself to death. What's more, in this snowy weather now, it is impossible for the Tang Army to maintain it for a long time outside, but I don't know, what kind of reputation they are fighting?

"Lord Ezhen, you see, the Tang army is outside the northern city wall, gathering a large number of firefighters."

His own soldiers, in a frightened tone, interrupted Haning'a, who was falling into a delusion, he followed the gesture of his own soldiers to look north, and sure enough, he could vaguely see that in the distance, there was a long row of Tang army gunners, the number of nearly two thousand people, was lined up in a neat pace, marching towards the north wall of Zhenyuan Fort.

Behind these musketeers, there were escort cavalrymen in shining armor and armed with sharp swords and spears, and in the middle of them, it seemed that a Tang army general dressed in luxurious armor and wearing a blood-red cloak was clustered together, and they all rode slowly on horseback.

Haninga secretly said in his heart, it seems that this Tang Army general should be the chief general of the Tang Army, but he doesn't know what this person's next plan is, and how he will deal with it next.

Seeing that the Tang army in the south had no idea of attacking Zhenyuan Fort for the time being, Haninga didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately took his guards and rushed to the north city wall from the south wall.

Stepping on the creaking snow at the head of the city, but he had been walking briskly, he saw with anxiety that those Tang musketeers had been getting closer and closer, lining up along the already frozen moat, and then, in such a snowy weather, holding an improved version of the black shiny and slender Lumi gun, then lit the fire rope, loaded the cartridge, and began to prepare for shooting.

"Huh? Are these Tang Jun stupid? In such a snowy weather, how do they set off their firecrackers? It's amazing. Seeing that the Tang army was about to start fighting, the guard next to Haninga couldn't help but ask.

Hearing his question, Haning's heart tightened sharply, and he had already subconsciously thought in his heart what Tang Jun wanted to do next.

That is, these Tang army gunners plan to shoot the Qing army guards who are standing on the north wall first, regardless of the losses, at the risk that the fire guns will not be able to fire or even explode!

The Tang army must be in this way to give Haninga and all the defenders a solid dismount.

Haninga was thinking quickly when a loud shout came from the northern city wall.

"Ready, put!"

"Bang bang bang! ……”
