Hong Chengchou's worst fear still happened.

The war is not a bull, a road to death, it will always lie in the balance of interests, the Ming army put the main forces on the front line, there will definitely be emptiness behind it, Hong Chengchou is almost within ten days to break through the siege of Jinzhou, to Zu Dashou to take a breath, so that the emperor also has an explanation, and then wait for Huang Taiji to react, withdraw to Ningyuan.

But this is unexpected, only on the sixth day, Huang Taiji has such a great courage to draw troops on the tense front line to block his own back road, this person is the enemy, it is indeed terrifying.

On this day, Hong Chengchou did not launch an offensive again, the whole army hurriedly retreated, and the Qing army did not attack, attacking Tashan Bijia Mountain has drawn more than 15,000 young and elite main force of the Eight Banners cavalry from the front line, at this time, the Qing army did not dare to fight with Hong Chengchou, and if it really wanted to fight to the death, the Qing State could not stand it, and the Dongjiang River was cheapened in vain.

The murderous spirit came to the sky, so many sacrifices were paid, the wounded did not rise, and the dead were buried! Now that such a result has been obtained, the cavalry is listlessly drooping their heads, and the infantry of the brigade is also dullly pushing the cannons silently, and even the two crow mouths, Zhang Ruolin and Ma Shaoyu, the two prison lords, also closed their mouths and did not dare to say a word.

They came to get credit, and the two Xiaobai didn't understand military affairs, knowing that tens of thousands of Qing troops were bypassed behind them, and they were also scared.

Uncle can have a leisurely life in Beijing, how can he die here?

The war horse swayed, following the infantry, Hong Chengchou himself walked very slowly, behind him, suddenly came a savage and tongue-twisting loud cheer, so that this Jiliao Governor couldn't help but look back, looking at the Qingzi banner that was picked up on the top of the mountain, his face also showed a sense of melancholy, and immediately looked at the two prison guards in front of him, incomparable disgust, resentment, and contempt appeared in his bloodshot eyes.

The battle line once again pressed back to the line bordering Songshan and Rufeng Mountain, and the 130,000 Ming army retreated inside and outside Songshan City, followed by the Eight Banners Army.

As soon as he returned to Songshan, Hong Chengchou went up to the city wall, picked up the telescope and looked down, on the horizon, the faintly visible Huang Taiji army made the remaining few general soldiers and his supervisor look extremely ugly, even less than a mile or two next to Songshan, and the Eight Banners scout cavalry kept howling and provoking, the voice was extremely harsh.

Originally, in this battle of Jinzhou, the Ming Dynasty had the upper hand, but in this way, it was unclear that it fell into an unfavorable situation of attacking from both sides.

The wind blew through the city built on the high hills, and a large army was silent.

"Inspector, for today's plan, I can only ask for help from the Liaodong Governor! After all, he is also a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and the Governor of Liaodong should not see death without saving him! ”

At this time, Wu Sangui thought of his sworn brother again, although he was not interested in this Liaodong Governor who came from behind and must have a big hat on his head, but he was really forced to the head, and behind Hong Chengchou, Dolgon bowed heavily, please play.

But Hong Chengchou, who heard this, subconsciously shook his head.

If Mao Jue was willing to send troops, he would have sent troops a long time ago, and he would have used him to confront the Qing army here for more than a year? As long as there are 10,000 cavalry under the city of Shenyang, Huang Taiji has to sit still and retreat, the filth between the Dongjiang River and the imperial court is already an open secret at the top, and the emperor of the Great War who decided the fate of Guanwai did not even mention the name of Mao Jue, the governor of Liaodong, which can be seen, why should he take his own humiliation?

However, this could not be said directly, and under the hopeful gaze of several general soldiers, Hong Chengchou frowned

"It's too late, even if you ask for help, it will take at least half a month for the messenger to arrive, and Mao Liaodong will move troops again, and it will take even more time, there are only three days of food and grass left in the army, and we can't wait for that time."

This is indeed reasonable, and several general soldiers couldn't help but bow their heads slightly in disappointment, but Wu Sangui's proposal made Zhang Ruolin's eyes light up suddenly.

"There are still soldiers in Liaodong?"

The selection of people by the Ministry of War is really careless, so I chose two people who are familiar with Liao affairs! Elect two military idiots to come over, they don't even know about Dongjiang Town. Listening to this question, Hong Chengchou really didn't bother to deal with him, so he turned back by waiting to see the enemy's situation.

Disappointed, Wu Sangui also hummed weakly.

"Lord Huijianjun, further north, on the border of the Li family's North Korea, there is Dongjiang Town, a town in my Daming Dynasty, commanded by Mao Jue, the governor of Liaodong."

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Dongjiang?"

"This ......, hundreds of thousands......"

How many troops there are in Dongjiang, the imperial court really doesn't know, after all, Dongjiang hasn't been paid for nearly ten years, but Mao Jue withstood a full-scale attack by the Qing army, and it is said that Huang Taiji suffered a lot of losses, and he can earn a feudal marquis for Mao Wenlong, how can he have a hundred thousand soldiers and horses!

Having said that, Wu Sangui really admires him, he has cultivated land under his hands, and he is eating seven cents of the imperial court's salary, and he is alive enough, Mao Jue has pulled out so much money and grain to feed the army and the people, and he has his mother's grain and wine, which is sold to Liaodong.

Wu Sangui sighed here, but Zhang Ruolin's eyes lit up, the mountains and rivers were full of doubts, and the willows and flowers were bright and another village! I originally thought that Hong Chengchou couldn't count on it here! , and Mao Liaodong popped out again.

They are frightened by the Qing army, but they are as bold as tigers to the supervisors, who is behind them? There is still an emperor in the military department! What overseer would dare not listen to his own dictatorship? Immediately, the idea of meritorious promotion was hit on Mao Jue, and he took the opportunity to leave this dangerous place, Zhang Ruolin slammed his fists impassionedly.

"Lord Hong, everyone, just leave the matter of supervising Dongjiang's troops to Zhang! Please send someone to send this official to the north, and this official will definitely be able to urge reinforcements and relieve the army's difficulties!"

Hong Chengchou, who heard this, couldn't wait to give himself a slap in the face.

Now he figured it out, why didn't he get these two crows' mouths to Mao Jue earlier? The province is annoying here and interferes with the command, without them, even today's situation may not have appeared! This is a major strategic mistake by him as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces!

It's just that now it's better than nothing! Send them away, so that the ears are clean, so as not to point fingers at himself, Hong Chengchou immediately threw down the telescope and nodded continuously.

"Zhang Jianjun has done this, it couldn't be better! Change! Immediately arrange the elite guards to send the two adults of Zhang Jian Jun and Ma Jian Jun to break through the siege!"

"The last will ......, and the last will obey ......"

This order, Cao Bianjiao agreed very reluctantly, he was full of annoyance and disdain, looking at the form when it was good, he was babbling, and now he was surrounded, and he wanted to run away, what is it?

However, even if he was not happy, in his shouting, more than two dozen Guanning cavalry were mobilized.

didn't want to stay for a second, and in the disdainful eyes of the group generals, the two of them went down to the city.

This is a small episode! After a cold snort, a group of last generals of the Ming Nine Sides still had to face this cold and cruel reality.

However, the battle situation has come here, Hong Chengchou has not been defeated, at least he still has 130,000 troops in his hands, 130,000 elite soldiers and strong generals, and the army is also a force to be reckoned with.

What needs to be done now is to take the army out of this dangerous situation, and after looking back at the sun that is no longer visible at all, Hong Chengchou ordered with a serious face.

"Tower Hill, Beacon Hill Grain Falls! The army must return to Ningyuan to get food! Today, our army has newly retreated, and the eastern captivity may not be so well prepared. Tonight, the whole army retreated to Ningyuan, with Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, as the vanguard, followed by Tang Tong's department, and Li Fuming followed! Cao Bianjiao, Wang Pu, your two army as the queen of the palace!"

"The last general obeys!"

I also know that this is an extraordinary period, almost everyone is simply clenching their fists, but this is almost, among the eight general soldiers, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong who was ordered to the palace, had a particularly ugly face.

The sun had completely set, and the sky was pitch black, and some were just the starry campfires of the two main forces of the two empires facing each other, although there was no war today, but one retreat and one followed, after all, they had walked more than twenty miles.

"Overseer, eat something!"

The smell of incense came to his face, it was actually baked potatoes, which could be regarded as Hong Chengchou's cronies, holding a plate, Cao Bianjiao hurriedly climbed the city wall.

But Hong Chengchou, who stood at the head of the city and watched, still had a little appetite, even if he retreated from this battle, Jinzhou would definitely not be able to keep it, more than 100,000 main forces of the imperial court did not break the siege, and the blow to the Jinzhou army under disappointment can be imagined, and Songshan, Tashan, Xingshan, this series of Guan Ning Jin defense line painstakingly managed by Sun Chengzong also had to fall into the hands of the enemy one after another, the north gate of the empire, there were only two lonely bolts left in Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan, and the situation changed back to the sixth year of the Apocalypse, The situation when Liaodong Jingluo Gaodi ordered the withdrawal of Liaodong on the whole line.

Knowing this, why bother generations of Liao generals to fight for more than ten years, costing tens of millions of taels, killing and wounding hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps Gao Di, who was ridiculed and deprecated back then, is the most strategic.

"Change Jiao, take it down and eat it with the soldiers!"

"Inspector, you still have to command the army tonight, how can you have an empty stomach, even if it is for the army, how much, you can eat a little!"

These words worked, sighed, Hong Chengchou finally put down the binoculars, turned around and took a hot baked potato, but before he could send it to his mouth, under the mountain, the originally peaceful camp suddenly became chaotic.

Shocked, Hong Chengchou shouted in disbelief.

"Come on, let's go see what's going on!"

Before Hong Chengchou's words fell, Cao Bianjiao had already thrown potatoes and ran quickly, and in less than a few minutes, he ran back with anger on his face.

"Overseer! Wang Pu, that bastard, ran away with the troops first!"

"It's over! It's over!"

This is the second bad news I received in a day, his eyes were blank, Hong Chengchou sat on the ground, and kept muttering.
