444 Like a mourner

Ao Bai is not stupid, the Dongjiang Army is not on the ship, which means that the Dongjiang Army should have seen through the ambush here. And with a lot of fanfare, it must be something to do!

At this time, although he didn't know what was wrong, he also knew that he couldn't wait any longer.

So, while he was in an expedited manner for 800 miles, he asked people to hurry to Shengjing to report the news, and on the other hand, he sent a horse to investigate the situation within a radius of 100 miles. It was even sent further afield, along the Yalu River all the way to the main force of the Dongjiang Army.

So, where is the main force of the Dongjiang Army?

Dai Shan knows this question best.

The day after he sent out 3,000 cavalry, while he was still basking in the sun, his subordinates almost crawled into his courtyard, and said to him with a pale face: "Your Highness, it's not good, there are many ships of the Ming Kingdom on the seaside, the Dongjiang army is coming ashore, and the vanguard is coming to Jinzhou!" ”

"What?" When Dai Shan heard this, he got up from the recliner with a grunt, and he was so vigorous that he couldn't tell that he was a fifty-nine-year-old person at all. However, his face was ugly, and he stared at his subordinate and asked, "How many centaurs?" ”

"At least five thousand, but it's all infantry!"

At this time, Dai Shan understood it, he immediately sent an order, the whole city entered the battle preparation, and took advantage of the fact that the Ming army had not yet arrived, immediately sent fast horses to recover the cavalry sent out, and at the same time, also went to the nearby city to ask for help.

After giving these orders, he kicked away the maid at his feet, and roared, "This king's armor! ”

It didn't take long for Dai Shan, who was dressed in armor, to reach the top of the city.

Sure enough, he could hear the shouts of the Ming army outside the city at night; Also, on the east side of Jinzhou, a Ming army was rushing towards Jinzhou City in the distance. Judging from the banner, there is no doubt that it is the Dongjiang Army. The big banner of the word "Lu" fluttering in the wind is a good proof of this.

"Divert the tiger from the mountain, this king has a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" Seeing this, Dai Shan couldn't help muttering to himself.

At this time, he couldn't tell whether Lu Xiangsheng found out that the situation was wrong and planned it, or Geng Zhongming really took refuge in the Ming army and acted in such a scene. But none of that matters. The important thing is that the city of Golden State must be defended and must wait until the arrival of reinforcements.

However, the elite has been dispatched, and with the remaining 3,000 troops, it is not easy to hold Jinzhou City.

On the Jinzhou side, the idea has always been to jam the Liaodong Peninsula and prevent the Ming army in Lushun from having the opportunity to invade the hinterland of Liaodong by land. At the same time, it can also be used as a bridgehead for the Qing Dynasty to attack Lushun in the future.

Therefore, although the equipment for defending the city on the Golden State side is prepared, it is not so complete. After all, for the Qing Dynasty, no matter how much they defended, they were all attack-oriented.

In the city of Jinzhou, the sound of police gongs was non-stop, and the soldiers of Jianyu were all waiting for the city. And Dai Shan has fought a battle for a lifetime, although he was worried, he did not panic, and immediately issued a military order one after another, commanding Jinzhou Jianyu to prepare to defend the city.

The Dongjiang Army that attacked was indeed led by Lu Xiangsheng, with a strength of about 5,000. After besieging the city of Jinzhou, preparations began to be made.

The Dongjiang Army began to assemble siege equipment within the field of vision of the city's head Jianyu. Ladder trucks, watchtowers, arrow towers, etc., are slowly taking shape. Of course, artillery is also indispensable, and there are quite a few Hongyi cannons.

All this made the city head Jianyu desperate in his heart. If the cavalry didn't leave, they didn't need to talk nonsense, and they could even go directly out of the city to take the initiative to attack the Dongjiang army. However, with today's troops, they can't fight!

On high alert, the Ming army soon prepared to attack the city. However, at most, there were sporadic tentative attacks, and they did not attack with all their might.

Even so, the city head Jianyu did not dare to relax his vigilance, in case he slackened and the Ming army turned a temptation into a strong attack, then there would be problems.

After dark, the Ming army did not stop, often shouting and killing, as if attacking the city at night, making a lot of noise, so that the Jianjiao on the head of the city did not dare to be careless at all.

Dai Shan used his toes to think about it, and he knew that Lu Xiangsheng was bullying the few defenders in the city and the few rotations, so he used the strategy of exhausting the enemy, and waited for the Qing soldiers to be exhausted before attacking the city; Or the defenders at the head of the city may slacken, or they may suddenly turn from a false attack to a strong attack.

Although Dai Shan knew this, the troops in his hands were really insufficient, and he had no choice but to hold on. Of course, there are remedial measures, he mobilized the people of the city to defend the city together, otherwise after the city is broken, the Ming army will definitely avenge their people and slaughter the whole city.

At the same time, Dai Shan also encouraged the whole city, saying that he had sent people to ask for help, and the previous cavalry army could return quickly, as long as he held on and turned back to attack inside and outside, he could break the Dongjiang army!

It can be said that all the means that can be used are intimidation, pies and so on.

The Golden State, which had been comfortable for a long time, finally entered a very tense state of war.

To the north of Jinzhou is the Little Black Mountain, with two post roads, which go north on the left and right sides of the Little Black Mountain, that is, near the two coastlines of the Liaodong Peninsula. The post road to the west passes through the Shihe Post to Xinjin; The one on the east side leads to the east side of the sea and goes up, to Hongzui Fort, Guifu Fort, and then to the Yalu River.

These two post roads diverge about 20 miles north of Jinzhou.

At noon on the third day when Jinzhou was surrounded by the Dongjiang Army. On the east side of the fork in the road, a group of Jianyu exploration horses, about thirty horsemen, galloped past, they were the outpost of the Jianyu cavalry.

At this fork in the road, I heard the sound of cannons coming from the direction of Jinzhou, which made this group of Jianyu Tanma even more urgent, and continued to gallop towards Jinzhou.

It didn't take long for more than 30 horsemen to gallop over, the same sentry horse, just like the sentry rider in front, when they heard the movement on the Jinzhou side, they all roughly observed the movements along the way, and hurried to the Jinzhou side.

After some more time, the sentries returned, and galloped away on the road. They went back and forth, but they didn't even notice that there were people on the mountain.

About half an hour later, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves was heard. A cavalry army galloped from the post road on the left. Needless to say, it was the cavalry sent out by Daishan.

In the past, this cavalry army had not rested in order to catch up with Li Dingguo's troops. Unexpectedly, before he could catch up, he was caught up by a messenger sent by Daishan, so he hurried back again. It can be said that this cavalry army has not rested well at all during these days.

Probably knowing the fatigue of his subordinates, the leader of Jianyu ordered to stop and recuperate on this side of the three-way road, and at the same time encouraged his subordinates: "The Dongjiang army is only 5,000 people, and they are all infantry troops, and they have eaten the courage of bears and leopards, and dare to attack Jinzhou." We waited for the return army, and the Jinzhou City and the outside of the flank, defeated the Dongjiang Army, the great credit is in front of us! ”

That being said, he actually had worries in his heart.

Chen Shaozong, who was on the road with him before, escaped by urinating and got the news. At that time, he felt that something was wrong. Now it seems that the front and back are conspiracy. In this case, would the Dongjiang Army really be so stupid, would it give the Qing Dynasty a chance to attack inside and outside?

He had a lot of doubts about this.

However, he will not say this worry, otherwise, it will definitely affect the morale of the army.

At this time, he was also exhausted. When I was in a hurry, I didn't feel like anything yet. When I stopped to recuperate, I felt very tired. However, if you don't rest, you won't be able to rest and recuperate, and you will soon arrive in Jinzhou City, where a fight is waiting to be won!

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some movement on the mountain, so he turned his head to look.

At this sight, he was so frightened that he jumped up, his face was full of horror, and he shouted loudly: "There is an ambush!" ”

At the same time, the Jianju of Jinzhou City was greatly boosted, and they shouted frantically one by one: "Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are back......"

Dai Shan, who was old, was a little mentally poor by the Ming army's tired enemy strategy, and Dai Shan, who was resting in the arrow tower for a while, was overjoyed when he heard it, and hurriedly walked to the window to see.

Sure enough, in the distance, dozens of Qing Dynasty exploration horses appeared, surrounding Jinzhou City, playing hide and seek with the Ming army at night, just to tell the city: they are back.

"Good, good, good!" After Dai Shan saw it, he couldn't help but praise repeatedly, since the cavalry army can rush back, it will be more than the Ming army outside the city in terms of troops, and it is the cavalry army that has driven back, and it is the elite of the Jinzhou army, this time, it is Lu Xiangsheng's turn to panic outside the city, right?

Then Lu Xiangsheng didn't know how to do it, and he dared to attack Jinzhou. Hehe, Huang Taiji tried his best to lay out, and wanted to annihilate your Dongjiang army but couldn't, but he didn't expect that he was lying in Jinzhou, but the credit for destroying the Dongjiang army fell from the sky and fell into his own hands!

Thinking so, Dai Shan went to see where the handsome flag of "Lu" was located without malice. This time, Lu Xiangsheng is probably going to run away, right?

Who knows, no matter how he observed, the Ming army outside the city did not panic at all, whether the city should be besieged or surrounded by the city, and there was no sign of escaping, which made Dai Shan a little panicked.

Obviously, the Ming army outside the city must have relied on it, and they were not afraid of cavalry reinforcements. But...... How is this possible?

The strength of the Dongjiang Army, how many troops there are, he is sitting in Jinzhou, of course, he knows it in his heart. With a little estimate, he can also estimate that almost all the men and horses of the Dongjiang Army have come over, what else can they rely on?

Thinking so, he subconsciously looked to the north, thinking in his heart, should the Ming army find out, it was just that these exploration horses came, and the main force did not come back, right?

Dai Shan is in Jinzhou City, of course he can't see what he wants to see. However, he suddenly seemed to hear something, there was the sound of shelling, and there was also the sound of shouting and killing, faintly heard.

The sound of the cannon is still very dense, and it is not a single cannon sound, from the sound, it is the Hongyi cannon and the Franc machine gun or something.

Hearing this, Dai Shan suddenly remembered the Battle of Tashan, where the Emperor of Ming suddenly appeared with his Imperial Forest Army, and only then did he kill Dolgon and annihilate the entire army.

At the thought of this, he shook his body in fright, and he couldn't stand still. At this time, he was basically sure that the reason why the Dongjiang Army outside the city was not panicked was because the Ming State had increased its troops. It's not good, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom came in person.

However, this is the Liaodong Peninsula, so how did the Ming Emperor come here? Isn't he afraid of the boundless sea? Aren't you afraid that before you reach Liaodong, a wave will knock him into the sea?

The sea, for Jianlu, was a terrifying existence, something they were very afraid of. However, for Emperor Chongzhen, the sea is also what he wants to conquer, what is there to be afraid of! The concepts of the two sides are not the same at all!

Thanks to his personal guards, they helped him in time. However, in Dai Shan's heart, he had already fallen, and he was desperate: Jinzhou only had 3,000 troops, even if he mobilized the people of the whole city to defend the city together, he could only barely deal with the Dongjiang army outside the city, once the emperor of the Ming State led his imperial forest army to appear outside the city, the morale of the defenders in the city would definitely collapse.

Listening to the cheers of the defenders at the head of the city, he was very sure in his heart that after a while, he would be very afraid. Hopefully, the disappointment will make them even more disappointed!

Dai Shan knew that Golden State was going to change hands, and he was going to follow Dolgon's fate! Thinking of this, Dai Shan seemed to have aged a lot, and he was also desperate!

At the head of the city, the other Jianyu also heard the sound of artillery and shouts from the north, and slowly, they also reacted, and the reinforcements they were expecting were fighting there. From the dense sound of artillery, it can be known that it must be the Ming army that has so many artillery, and there are Ming troops lying in ambush over there, fighting with their rescuers!

Most of the Jianju of Jinzhou did not know the details of the Battle of Tashan, so they didn't think much about it, they looked to the north one by one, praying in their hearts, hoping that their reinforcements would win, just like heavenly soldiers, and kill the Ming army outside the city without leaving a piece of armor!

However, many of them, looking at the calmness of the Ming army outside the city, knew that it was likely that there would be more than one bad luck over there, otherwise, even if the Ming army outside the city did not escape, they would shrink their defenses. However, most of the Jian, still wishful thinking, hoped that their reinforcements would win.

It didn't take long for the sound of the cannon to gradually subside, and finally there was no sound, and it was definitely the end of the war over there.

The Ming army outside the city did not attack the city, and the Jianlu on the head of the city did not have the heart to look at the Ming army outside the city, they all looked to the north, waiting, to see which direction, will it be the army over there?

This kind of waiting is torturous, especially for the many experienced soldiers in the city, who can probably guess the result, and it is even more tormenting.

In the arrow tower, Dai Shan even thought of looking for death, but his guards did not allow it, staring at him and preventing him from seeking death. There are also guards who are holding on to luck and persuading Dai Shan.

I don't know how long it took, but there was finally movement in the north. The shadow is stubborn, and an army is coming.

There is no need to see clearly, the Ming army outside the city cheered in unison, and the Jianyu on the head of the city was like a mourner. Because in the distance, there is a red long dragon, needless to say, it must be the Ming army coming!

At this moment, the builders on the head of the city were desperate!
