The daily life around the Daling River is that the Ming army attacked and harassed, and the Houjin passively responded to the battle.

The various earthen walls built by Houjin around Dalinghe City were bombarded by the tiger heavy chariots of the Jingbian Fort Army.

Sometimes, even the Houjin barracks, which were closer to this line of defense, would be shelled by the Jingbianbao army, so Huang Taiji had no choice but to order all the barracks on the front line to retreat three miles, so that the medium-sized Furlong machine of the Jingbianbao army would definitely not be able to fight.

But this did not save them from the harassment of hot air balloons, as long as the weather was not too bad, such as violent storms, heavy fog, etc., the hot air balloons of the Jingbian Fort Army could attack, and during the day they threw Molotov cocktails into the kitchen of the barracks, because there must be provisions in the kitchen.

At night, it is the old rule, playing 10,000 artillery lullaby for the Houjin soldiers, and the direct effect of this method is to put a pair of black circles on the Houjin soldiers.

In places outside the Daling River, when the Ming army mentioned Houjin, they were all afraid of it, but in this place of Daling River, Houjin soldiers have become a bit of a joke.

Houjin fought with the Ming army in the city for nearly a month and a half in the Daling River, and every time the Ming army took the initiative to go out of the city to seek provocation, the Houjin soldiers stopped at the point and never pursued, so from the scene, it was the Ming army that had the upper hand.

This is just an illusion, and the Houjin soldiers were harassed by the Jingbianbao army, but in fact there were no major losses, and their strength was not damaged.

And in order to hit the morale of the defenders in Dalinghe City, Huang Taiji specially ordered Azigetaiji and Shuotuo Brother to take the captured guerrilla king general, as well as two small banners, to walk around the city from afar, and said as they walked: "Shanhaiguan General Soldier Zhong Zongzhen sent me to aid Dalinghe City Zhongzu General Town, but I was killed by the soldiers of Zhushen Siege Jinzhou, and I was captured alive. ”

This trick is useless.

"Our army has enough food and grass, even if there are no reinforcements, we can also rely on this fortified city to hold on steadily, even if the reinforcements can't come, we have our own way." Liu Renyu looked at the general Wang who was walking around the city and covered in blood at the head of the city, and said with a relaxed expression.

"Yes, we have food in our hands, and we don't panic. If there is no food from General Liu, we are only afraid of disaster. Zu Dashou also smiled easily.

"The handsome man has won the award." Liu Renyu smiled.

Azig and Shuotuo took the king guerrilla around the city for half a day and then collected his troops and returned to the camp, and then Huang Taiji shrank his forces, did not attack the Daling River, and focused his main energy on probing the enemy situation from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, Songshan, and Xingshan.

On September 12, the fourth year of Chongzhen, there were Houjin scouts who came from the direction of Ningjin, reporting that there were horse infantry troops from within the Shanhaiguan and had entered Jinzhou, with a number of about six or seven thousand, and it seemed that they were reinforcements who came to rescue the Daling River.

Huang Taiji attached great importance to this news, he knew that the Ming Kingdom would definitely send reinforcements again, and he planned to send Azigetaiji and Shuotuo Brother to lead the troops to meet this reinforcement army, but considering that there were nearly 5,000 soldiers in Jinzhou City, and the two armies together would have more than 10,000 people, and 2,000 soldiers might not be able to cope with it.

So Huang Taiji specially ordered the chief military officer Eju Yanguli to lead 800 elite escorts to increase the strength of Azig and Shuotuo, and he ordered Azig, Shuotuo, and Yanguli to pay close attention to the enemy situation in Jinzhou, and as long as the Ming army came to help, they would be defeated immediately.

At this time, Qiu Hejia was already scared, so although there were reinforcements from the pass in Jinzhou City, he didn't dare to send troops out to fight easily, he had to wait until more reinforcements came before he had the courage to attack.

The Ming army in Jinzhou City did not come out after being killed, which made Huang Taiji very depressed, he thought that the Ming army was not gaining momentum, and it was always a huge potential threat, in order to eliminate this threat, he decided to take the initiative to attack and induce the Ming army to fight.

On September 16, Huang Taiji personally led 200 guards, 5 soldiers per Niu Lu, and 3 ministers of each banner, galloping to Azig, Shuotuo, and Yanguli camps to arrange battle defense.

When Huang Taiji arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, he summoned Azig, Shuotuo, and Yanguli to discuss the matter.

"Zhongqing has repeatedly defeated the Ming army that rescued the Daling River before, which can be described as a high level of hard work."

After everyone sat down, Huang Taiji praised several generals.

Azig, Shuotuo all had joy on their faces, and even said that for the sake of the Dajin Kingdom and the Great Khan, this is nothing.

Huang Taiji smiled, and then said: "Recently, I heard that a large number of Ming troops came to Jinzhou from the Shanghai Customs, the number of people is as many as six or seven thousand, I think it must be the rescue of the soldiers of the Great Ling River, they have been stationed in Jinzhou for four or five days now, but they always do not attack, if the Ming army always does not attack, it is like a sword hanging over the head, I don't know when it will be cut off, it is always a trouble." ”

"The Ming army came to the aid of many soldiers and horses, but they were all defeated, and they must be afraid of our army and dare not fight again." Azig smiled proudly.

"Judging from the battle situation in the past few days, the strong army of the Ming Kingdom is unique to the Daling River, and the rest are not helpful. However, although the Ming army in Jinzhou City is not strong, it is a threat after all, and it is better to eliminate this threat. Huang Taiji groaned.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army always does not attack, and our army wants to fight them, but it can't get a chance." Ah Ge Shuo frowned.

"Only to lure them to attack." Huang Taiji smiled.

When the ministers saw Huang Taiji smiling, they knew that their Great Khan must have a clever plan.

"How to lead the Ming army into battle, please ask His Majesty the King Khan to show me." The ministers asked in unison.

"I will, you can send a small number of soldiers and horses to Jinzhou City to lure the enemy, the Ming army will inevitably want to kill the head of Zhushen, so as to perfunctory the Ming court, they will inevitably pursue, our army can ambush at the Xiaoling River, to give great damage.

In this way, on the one hand, it will consume the vitality of the Ming army, and on the other hand, it will demoralize it, make it fearful, and dare not reinforce it. Azig, I will leave it to you to send troops to lure the Ming army into battle, remember, use more radical methods. Huang Taiji ordered.

"Pierce." Azig first answered with a thousand words, and then he ordered to his guards: "Go and give an order to Tuloosh and Rausa, and ask him to lead a hundred men and horses to the city of Jinzhou to lure the enemy." ”

"Pierce." When the guard received the order, he went straight to give the order.

Turushh and Rausa received the order, and without saying a word, they took a hundred of their soldiers and went straight to Jinzhou City.

Huang Taiji led the main army to lie in ambush in the hills and mountains next to the bank of the Xiaoling River, waiting for the Ming army to take the bait.

When Qiu Hejia in Jinzhou City heard that more than 100 people from Houjin dared to go straight to Jinzhou and still show off their power under the city, he was very angry.

"Jiannu deceived me too much! Even a hundred soldiers dare to be more than 10,000 soldiers. ”

Qiu Hejia ordered the battle.

Wu Xiang and Song Wei, the chief military officers in the city, felt that only a hundred Jiannu were not to be feared, and killing them could not only be regarded as a war merit, but also to give an account to the imperial court, so that they could send troops to fight.

So Qiu Hejia, Wu Xiang, and Song Wei ordered 7,000 soldiers in the city to go out of the city, and killed the 100 Houjin soldiers who were showing off their might.

"The Ming army has come out, continue to lure the enemy, and will not be defeated but won't win."

When Rausa saw the Ming army attacking, he Xiaoyu fought and retreated, always hanging the appetite of the Ming army.

After the Jin soldiers got the order, they first engaged the Ming army for a while, and then they pretended to be invincible and retreated to the east, they pulled the distance between the two armies very well, so that the Ming army could catch up, but it happened to be unable to catch up.

It's so appetizing.

At this time, all the Ming troops seemed to have only military merits in their eyes, and there were only 100 Jiannu and more than 7,000 people on their own side, so they were sure to win anyway, so the Ming army pursued very resolutely.

When the Ming army marched to the bank of the Xiaoling River, they suddenly heard a cannon sound, ambushes in all directions, flags were all over the mountains, and drum noises rushed from all directions, and I don't know how many enemy troops there were!

Huang Taiji saw that the Ming army was in ambush, so he took the lead, led 2,200 escorts, rushed into the Ming army's outpost formation, and frantically slashed the Ming army.

The Great Khan is the first soldier, which of the Jin soldiers will still pity their lives, is that in the future, the Jin soldiers will all fight bravely to be the first and kill the enemy.

"Kill."

Hou Jin Bing's shouts of killing reached the sky.

Qiu Hejia was frightened in the face of such a scene.

This governor of Ningyuan has always been known as a soldier in the imperial court, and his knowledge of military theory is relatively rich, and he can be regarded as a hawk among civilian officials.

Everyone thought that this man was bold and a general, but he was just a little chicken in the skin of an eagle. Outside the battlefield, in a relatively safe environment, this gentleman can talk eloquently about things, and when he is on the battlefield where he is in danger, his true nature is exposed.

Qiu He Jiajiu has been in Liaodong for a long time, and naturally knows the Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Khan who often goes to the front line.

"The Jiannu chieftain is here, and his army must be here, retreat quickly, otherwise our army will be exhausted, and Jinzhou will not be protected." Qiu Hejia left such a sentence, and under the protection of his guards, he fled in a hurry in the direction of Jinzhou.

If the lord is like this, how can the soldiers still have the heart to fight to the death.

The Ming army suddenly scattered in a hurry, and fled frantically in the direction of Jinzhou, and the Jin soldiers chased closely under the leadership of Huang Taiji, and chased until the city of Jinzhou, seeing that the Ming army infantry was about 10,000 people, lined up the military array, arranged the artillery, and firearms, and did not pursue again.

When Huang Taiji was about to lead the army back, Qiu He Jiafu, who had already escaped and regained his composure, faced Wu Xiang again, and Song Wei said: "The slave chieftain is chasing with light soldiers, and it is the right time to capture him." ”

Wu Xiang and Song Wei felt that it made sense, so they immediately sent troops to hunt down Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji was embarrassed, and the Xinde guards desperately protected, and Azig and others led the army to repel the Ming army.

In this battle, the Houjin soldiers killed a member of the deputy general of the Ming army, obtained 100 horses, and more than 1,000 soldiers were killed and wounded.
