Ningyuan City Tower

Shaking his head slightly, shaking the regret out of his mind, Yuan Chonghuan pulled the topic back to his eyes: "Fuyu, what do you think is the difference between those Tartars?" ”

What's the difference?

Zu Dashou stared at Houjin Daying and observed it carefully for a long time, and then said a little unconfidently: "Lord Futai, these Tartars don't seem to be as arrogant as they were when they were under the jurisdiction of the old slaves?" ”

After carefully observing Jin Daying for a moment, Zu Dashou exclaimed with great certainty: "It's really not so arrogant." The wave of Tartars led by the old slave last year, the arrogance, even without this telescope, we can clearly feel it in the city. ”

Turning to face Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou's face was full of surprise: "Lord Futai, you are really observant!" Without the old slaves, it seems that this batch of Tartars is much weaker than last year! ”

Saying this, Zu Dashou had already begun to think quickly in his heart.

The Tartars' combat power seems to have decreased significantly, isn't it time to test it? Just like Yuan Chonghuan said, when the new emperor ascends the throne, they Guan Ningjun must always perform.

Subconsciously raised the telescope again, Zu Dashou suddenly found that in the shot, there were obviously heralds rushing to the Houjin camp. As the heralds came and went, the Tartar detachment began to move.

Is the Tartars going to prepare for the siege?

No longer speaking, Zu Dashou concentrated on observing the movements of the Tartars in the Houjin camp.

"Fuyu, what's wrong?"

The distance was too far, and without the assistance of a telescope, Yuan Chonghuan could not see the movements of Houjin Daying clearly. Seeing Zu Dashou suddenly become serious, Yuan Chonghuan knew that something must have happened.

"Back to Futai, it was the Tartars who suddenly gathered troops, and I don't know what I want to do."

While observing carefully, Zu Dashou added an explanation to Yuan Chonghuan: "Lord Futai, now it seems that it is just a Tartar mobilization, at most to test us. We don't need to rush. ”

A Tartar sortie?

Between the words, Zu Dashou's mind lit up.

If only this part of the Tartars came to attack, he could mobilize the elite cavalry of the Guanning army to prepare in the city. When this Tartar siege is fruitless, take advantage of the situation to kill...

"Hehe," Zu Dashou laughed secretly in his heart, and respectfully asked Yuan Chonghuan for instructions: "Lord Futai, do we want to mobilize the elite cavalry in advance to prepare for a head-on blow to the Tartar?" ”

Give the Tartars a head-on blow?

Seeing Zu Dashou's rare state of asking for battle, Yuan Chonghuan's heart jumped violently. I don't know why, the first thing that jumped out of Yuan Chonghuan's mind was the Tartar dead soldier who was not afraid of death in the city last year.

Without answering immediately, Yuan Chonghuan reached out to take back the telescope and began to observe on his own.

Zu Dashou is right, there is indeed only one Tartar in the movement. But this one, the black press, the number of Tartars seems to be quite a lot?

Pursed his lips vigorously, Yuan Chonghuan asked with a solemn expression: "Fuyu, there are a lot of Tartars in this part, are you sure?" ”

"Lord Futai," Zu Dashou puffed up his chest: "I am not sure about the total annihilation of this Tartar." But with the Tartars attacking the city fruitlessly, I can be eight points sure that I can give the Tartars a blow to the head, and the Tartars will be injured and hurt. ”

After staring at the telescope for a long time, Yuan Chonghuan finally made up his mind: "Fuyu, go, go down and prepare!" ”

When Zu Dashou was preparing in Ningyuan City, Azig, who had gathered all the men and horses, let the horse run out of the Houjin camp.

Leaving the camp, Azig almost roared with joy.

Finally left the camp, and finally didn't have to look at Huang Taiji's fat face anymore.

Even if it was only a few days of freedom, Azig was extremely happy in his heart.

It's really strange to say. The relationship between Azig and Huang Taiji in the past was okay. Although the relationship between the two is not too good, it can never be said to be bad. In the past, as the ruling four major Baylors, Huang Taiji also helped Azig several times.

But since he hit Huang Taiji and ascended to the throne, it is clear that he is still the Emperor Taiji, but Azig always feels that Huang Taiji's fat face has become more and more ugly. Especially after returning from the withdrawal of troops from North Korea, Azig felt even more depressed when he saw Huang Taiji's fat face.

Azig is now really nostalgic for his time under the old Khan Nurhachi.

At that time, he didn't have to think about anything, just take his inlaid white flag (at that time it was called the inlaid yellow flag) and rush to kill according to the command of the old Khan Nurhachi. It's like now...

Azig also knows his mentality, and it's not too right right now. But whenever he saw Huang Taiji's fat face that was different from the past, he couldn't feel comfortable in his heart.

Alas, if you can hide, let's hide first!

Looking up at the sky, Azig shouted loudly: "Sons, run faster, don't let Ming Pig run again." ”

Before the roar fell, Azig took the lead and rushed into the distance at great speed.

Ningyuan is on the right

This small fortress, which used to be garrisoned by only 1,000 households, is now full of 5,000 cavalry. The small center-right station has almost been crowded to the point where there is no place to stand, so the 5,000 cavalry companies of Mangui and their horses have been placed.

Under the dim light, Man Gui's face was full of excitement.

Tartar can be regarded as coming, Man Gui has been waiting for this day for a long time. This time, there is no longer Yuan Chonghuan to hinder him.

Man Gui arrived at the center of the right office in the morning. Originally, Man Gui was still worried, worried that although he had the order to send troops issued by Wang Zhichen, he had not received a request for help from Ningyuan or Jinzhou.

Without asking for help, if he rushed to Ningyuan, without thinking, Man Gui could guess what kind of faces Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou would be to him.

Man Gui didn't want to stick Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou's cold butts like this.

Just when Man Gui was full of irritability, the heavens fulfilled the wishes of the people, Ning Yuan's wolf smoke rose billowing up, and Ning Yuan's messenger who reported for help galloped through the middle of the horse even faster.

The messenger brought a sure message to Mangui.

The Tartars are really here, and more than 100,000 Tartars are approaching the city of Ningyuan.

As soon as the arrival of the Tartars was confirmed, Man Gui led 5,000 cavalry troops to quickly squeeze into the center and right station.

Man Gui was not avoiding the battle, Man Gui was just trying to avoid Hou Jin's scouts, in order to get the opportunity to sneak attack the Tartars.

Man Gui's thoughts were not in vain, and in the evening, billowing smoke rose from the direction of Caozhuang Station outside the city. However, around the center and right, there was only a dozen Tartar scouts, and they only shouted around the city and left in a hurry.

Caozhuangyi is located between Zhongyousuo and Ningyuan, and is a small village composed of more than 30 households. It is the last foothold before the official road enters Ningyuan.

Man Gui didn't know whether the villagers of Cao Zhuangyi had withdrawn into Ningyuan. Man Gui only knew that the beacon smoke had been burned, and the Tartars had arrived at Caozhuangyi. He is going to attack Caozhuang Post at night tonight, so that the Tartars can see the true demeanor of the Ming cavalry.

For this reason, Man Gui let all 5,000 horsemen squeeze into the narrow center and right post. For this reason, Man Gui asked all the original hundreds of guards of the center right to stand at the head of the city, deliberately to intimidate the Tartars' tancai.

For this reason, Man Gui also personally went out of the city to quietly follow the Tartar detectives, and found out the general camp of the Tartars in Caozhuangyi.

Now, everything is ready, just late at night.
