Huang Taiji led an army of 180,000 to besiege Haizhou, wanting to take Haizhou City in one fell swoop, so as to attack Gaizhou, Fuzhou, Jinzhou and the Liao River Valley, but unfortunately, the Ming army in the city had too many artillery, so much that he despaired, he had to give up the hard attack, turn to the siege.

This siege tactic had no more than two purposes, either the besieged city would be cut off from food and the defenders would have to go out of the city and surrender, or the siege would send reinforcements to destroy the enemy's living forces.

Of course, Huang Taiji hoped that the besieged city would be cut off from food, and the defenders would go out of the city and surrender, but he was not sure about this, because he didn't know how much grain was stored in the city, and the siege tactics seemed to be easier for him to implement, because the Ming reinforcements had already come, just in Gaizhou, not far away, and he had already hidden the 120,000 Manchurian Eight Banner Cavalry and the Mengbaqi Cavalry near Liaoyang City, in order to eliminate the Ming reinforcements.

So, will Zhang Bin fall into his plan and lead the army to support Haizhou?

Haizhou City must go to support, because the Qin army in the city has a total of three months of grain storage, if the old let Jiannu surround it, one day there will be no food, but Zhang Bin is not in a hurry, because he knows that Huang Taiji will definitely not be able to take Haizhou City.

When Huang Taiji waved his army outside Haizhou City to fill the trenches, Zhang Bin mobilized reinforcements in Gaizhou City in an orderly manner.

In fact, there are not many reinforcements that he can mobilize, because the Liaodong Army, the Fuguang Army, the Dongjiang Army, the Tianxiong Army, the Qijia Army and the Sichuan Army can be mobilized near Gyeonggi, and at this time he has already mobilized the Tianxiong Army, the Qijia Army and the Sichuan Army Baipole Soldiers to Gaizhou, but the total strength is only 50,000, because these three elites did not rely on more people to win, they relied on amazing combat power and sophisticated equipment, and their own numbers were not large.

If you want to say that the number of people is the largest, it is naturally the Liaodong Army, but the most elite Guanning Iron Cavalry in the Liaodong Army has been sent to Sichuan by the huge greedy Shi Sui, and the remaining foot soldiers still have to be stationed in the defense area of Shanhaiguan to the Liaohe River Valley for nearly a thousand miles, and there are not many men and horses at all, and the Dongjiang Army has no hope, because the Dongjiang Army has a total of only 30,000 troops at this time, and it also has to garrison Gaizhou, Fuzhou, Jinzhou and Phidao, and it also can't draw any troops.

At this time, the only thing he can mobilize is the Fuguang army, and the Fuguang army also has to be stationed in Zhenjiang, Xuancheng and Phoenix, he can't draw too much, after a few days of deployment, he only transferred Cao Bianjiao, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Wang Shangli led 50,000 horses, and the remaining 50,000 horses are still led by Cao Wenzhao, stationed in Zhenjiang, Xuancheng and Phoenix.

He had just gathered 100,000 horses, but Huang Taiji suddenly stopped attacking Haizhou City and turned to siege, this time, he was not in a hurry, he gathered 100,000 troops together and practiced for a few days, feeling that there was no big problem with these elites to cooperate with each other, and this called all the generals to the Yamen of the command of Gaizhou Wei to discuss the matter of supporting Haizhou City.

This time, not only the generals of the Fuguang Army, the Tianxiong Army, the Qijia Army, the Dongjiang Army and the Sichuan Army came, but also the generals of the Liaodong Army such as Zu Dashou and Zu Dabi, and even Yu Chenggong of the Fujian Navy Division came. All of them are beaten and!

Zhang Bin was accustomed to the eyes of his generals, he pondered for a while, and then said aloud: "Zu Dashou." ”

When Zu Dashou heard Zhang Bin call his name, his face was happy, he strode out of the ranks, stood in the middle of the hall and arched his hands, and shouted with full of anger: "The end will be." ”

Zhang Bin asked directly: "How many men and horses are there in the Liaodong Army now?" ”

Zu Dashou replied honestly: "If you add the old and weak soldiers, a total of 110,000, about 100,000 who can really fight." ”

Zhang Bin doesn't care much about these, even if the army of more than 100,000 people eats 10,000 empty salaries, it's normal, I'm afraid that a total of only 30,000 horses like Mao Wenlong will ask for 100,000 people's food, which is a bit terrible.

Zhang Bin nodded slightly, and then ordered: "You send 20,000 horses to guard Shanhaiguan, 10,000 horses to guard the first line of the Daling River, and 10,000 horses to guard the first line of the Santaizi River, and the remaining 50,000 horses to cross the Liao River and enter the auxiliary fort on the opposite bank of the Great Liao River Fort to standby." ”

When Zu Dashou heard this, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

Zhang Bin then asked, "When will the transfer of people and horses be completed?" ”

Zu Dashou estimated and said: "If it is transferred normally, it will take three days, and if the adults can send the wheels of the Fujian sailors to help, it can be completed tomorrow." ”

Zhang Bin waved his hand directly: "Well, you can just discuss this with General Yu, anyway, you won't need wheels in the past few days." ”

Zu Dashou once again bowed his hand and obeyed, and then obediently retreated to the queue on the left.

Zhang Bin said loudly again: "Mao Wenlong." ”

Hearing this, Zu Dashou hurriedly walked out of the train and said loudly: "The end will be." ”

Zhang Bin still asked directly: "How many men and horses are there in the Dongjiang Army here?" ”

Mao Wenlong also replied honestly: "Now the Dongjiang Army has a total of 25,000 men and horses on the shore, Gaizhou Wei has 15,000, Fuzhou Wei and Jinzhou Wei 5,000 each. ”

Zhang Bin nodded slightly, and then ordered: "You transfer the 5,000 men and horses of the Fuzhou Guard, and then transfer 2,000 men and horses from the Jinzhou Guard to the Fuzhou Guard, and the transfer must be completed by tomorrow afternoon, understand?" ”

Mao Wenlong obeyed the order, Zhang Bin waved his hand to retreat, and then Zhang Bin began to discuss with Lu Xiangsheng, Qi Yuangong, Ma Xianglin and other generals about entering Haizhou City, and finally agreed that with the Fuguang Army, the Tianxiong Army, the Qijia Army and the Sichuan Army, a total of 100,000 horses and horses, directly from Gaizhou, pressed to Haizhou, while the Liaodong Army and the Dongjiang Army responded on the southwest flanks.

Early the next morning, at three o'clock, a burst of orders sounded inside and outside the city of Gaizhou, 100,000 soldiers began to pack up their tents, and continued to flock to the open space five miles north of the city, before the end of the day, the 100,000 army was assembled, that guy, there are thousands of chariots alone, and the tiger squat cannon does not know how many, and the 100,000 army is more spectacular than the 200,000 army.

Huang Taiji received the news, his mouth was about to smile crookedly, the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty finally came, and there were only 100,000 on the surface, he already knew that the commander of the Ming army was Zhang Bin at this time, and he also knew that the Ming army still had 70,000 or 80,000 Liaodong Army and Dongjiang Army as a backup, but he was not worried at all, but was so excited that he couldn't do it.

He only has 180,000 troops on the surface, but there are 120,000 cavalry in secret, which is really not good, he can still draw 30,000 or 40,000 foot soldiers from Liaoyang and Shenyang to support, that is to say, the army he can actually participate in the war is not 180,000 but more than 300,000, even if Zhang Bin leads more than 100,000 troops to come over and fight his more than 300,000 troops, it is also looking for death!

The decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin is about to start, and the total number of troops invested by the two sides in the open and secret is more than 600,000.
