In the middle of the night, under the city of Jinzhou, a sound of "ding ding ding" sounded, and the Wei army besieging the city retreated.

The Wei army attacked for the first time and once climbed the Jinzhou city wall, but in the end it was not able to occupy it for a long time and was driven down by the Qing army guarding the city.

Li Dingguo looked at the Wei soldiers who were retreating in the wilderness, and said in his heart that it was really not easy to attack, so he pulled out the reins of his horse and returned to the camp.

After a while, the curtain was raised, and Hu Dawei walked in with a gloomy face, and threw his helmet on the chair, "If there is a mortar cannon today, I will attack it!" ”

After Jinzhou City was transformed by Hong Chengchou, it was indeed relatively difficult to attack, and the Wei army raided with light cavalry, did not carry heavy artillery, and was suppressed by the earth-shattering thunder thrown by the catapult in the city, so it was difficult to make contributions for a while.

Li Dingguo stood up and said with a smile: "If you can attack it today, you can still attack it tomorrow, Jinzhou is in the bag, and the Hudu Governor doesn't have to be anxious." ”

As he was talking, another person came in in a hurry, but the person who came was Xu Heihu, he saw the two of them, so he directly said urgently: "Dadu Governor, scout report, Liaodong's Haoge and Horqin Mongolia mobilized 40,000 troops and horses, gathered on the line of the Shuangtaizi River, in addition, Shanhaiguan has 20,000 Qing troops marching to Jinzhou, and the Qing cavalry in the pass entered Chahar to harass, and forced the baggage team from Zhangjiakou back to Xuanda, I 30,000 people are hard to beat with two fists and four hands, and it is a little difficult to deal with it, so I came to find the Dadu Governor to borrow troops!" ”

Hu Dawei raised his eyebrows, "The Tartars of the north and south have sent troops, so in this way, Haoge and Dolgon have to rescue Jinzhou." ”

Li Dingguo glanced at the sand table in the aisle, and then said in a deep voice: "This just shows that we have captured the seven inches of the Tartar when we sent troops this time!" ”

Saying that, he paused and said in a deep voice: "Jinzhou City has the essence of Xiangcheng, although there are only 7,000 people in the city, but it is not easy to capture. Hong Chengchou didn't want to surrender, most likely because he saw us advancing lightly and didn't have much food, and he knew that Hauge and Dolgon would definitely come to save him, so he decided to hold on. From this point of view, if you want to seize the city, you have to make the Qing army in the city desperate. ”

Hu Dawei asked, "What does the Metropolitan Governor think?" ”

"The idea is to let the defenders of the city know that foreign aid is cut off, and our army has enough food and grass." Li Dingguo looked at the sand table and said: "The elite of the Qing army in the Guannei was defeated by us during the Battle of Hedong, and it is easy to deal with, but Haoge and Zierharang still have some elite soldiers in their hands, if you add Horqin Mongolia, you still need to deal with it carefully." ”

Li Dingguo looked at Xu Heihu, "Duke Yuguo, I will assign more than 6,000 people from Wu Zhimao's department in Daning River City to you for command, and Haoge and Horqin in the northeast will be handed over to Duke Yu to deal with." ”

Saying that, Li Dingguo picked up the wooden strip and pointed to Mobei and said: "I have a suggestion to Guogong, Wu Sangui and Babu are in the hometown of the Chechen Ministry, after Horqin sends troops, Eastern Mongolia will inevitably be empty, this is a rare opportunity, Guogong can contact Wu Sangui and let him raid Horqin." ”

Xu Heihu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't respond immediately, but asked, "What about the Qing army in the pass?" ”

Li Dingguo looked at Xu Heihu and said with a smile: "There are less than 20,000 soldiers in the pass, and the rest are all local chickens and dogs, I will give 20,000 troops to the governor of Hudu, and I am sending 10,000 soldiers and horses to escort the supplies to the Qing army who paid the pass, which is enough to deal with it." ”

It is impossible for the Qing army to send all the full soldiers out to attack the grain road and rescue Jinzhou, and the battle outside the pass, the cavalry is the mainstay, and the green battalion infantry army can only be sent to death.

Previously, the Qing cavalry had a huge advantage, but now the situation is reversed.

After the Battle of Hedong, the Manchu army suffered heavy losses, and the Mongol soldiers fled back to Guanwai from the Qing army.

The Manchu army suffered heavy losses, and the Mongol cavalry no longer obeyed orders, and the cavalry of the Qing army was not as large as that of the Wei army.

Xu Heihu nodded when he heard this, and saluted with his fists, "So the north will be handed over to me!" ”

Hu Dawei also clenched his fists, "The birds in the gate still dare to come out, see if I destroy them!" ”

Li Dingguo said to Hu Dawei: "I have enough food here to eat for half a month, let's go our separate ways, I will continue to prepare for the siege here, and the governor of Hudu must take the head of the Jinqing army to help." At that time, as soon as the first level comes out, the defenders in the city will inevitably be shaken, and the army will be able to break the city in one fell swoop! ”

At that moment, Hu Dawei solemnly clenched his fists, and then the two of them withdrew from the big tent to prepare.

After they left, Li Dingguo looked at the sand table, and Dolgon obviously saw that the Wei army was short of food and grass, and the flood thieves in the city did not surrender, and most of them planned to hold on to the city until the Wei army ran out of food.

Thinking of this, Li Dingguo walked back to the table and wrote a letter of surrender again, but it was not for Hong Chengchou, but for the Jinzhou defenders.

In the letter, Li Dingguo first reiterated the precedent of Hong Chengchou's capture of Songshan, implying that Hong Chengchou's limited level was not an opponent of the Wei army, and then declared that the Wei army was about to sweep the Guannei, and it was the general trend for the Great Wei to dominate the world, and there was no reinforcement outside Jinzhou, and he would die if he resisted.

In addition, it was also guaranteed that as long as Kaesong was opened, regardless of Hanyi, he would be rewarded.

After writing the letter, Li Dingguo gave an order to the outside world, and after a short time, Wu Guozhu came in, "The metropolitan governor is looking for me." ”

Li Dingguo bowed slightly, "You find someone to copy this letter in 100 copies, and then shoot it into the city at night." ”

Wu Guozhu took the letter and hurriedly saluted, "Humble and orderly!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, but Li Dingguo stopped him, "Wait, there is one more thing to order." ”

"Governor, please!" Wu Guozhu hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed.

Li Dingguo opened his mouth and said: "Tomorrow, you arrange for those people to reclaim land along the Xiaoling River from a place where you can see it in Jinzhou." ”

Wu Guozhu was slightly stunned, reclaiming the land, now is not the right season. However, he quickly reacted that this was the Metropolitan Governor's heart-to-heart battle, so he hurriedly received the order again.

In the early morning of the next day, in the Jinzhou Ya, Hong Chengchou ate a few bites of breakfast indiscriminately, and then ordered the soldiers to lead the horses to the city.

At this time, as soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw Li Chengdong coming in in a hurry, Hong Chengchou frowned, and asked from afar: "General Li is not on duty in the city, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Chengdong looked strange and took out a letter, "My lord, Wei Jun has shot the book again." ”

Hong Chengchou took the letter, unfolded it, and immediately had a layer of frost on his face, which was still a letter of persuasion, but this time he did not recruit him, but instead recruited the Qing army in the city, and encouraged the defenders to cut off his head.

"This Wei thief's move to disrupt the hearts of our army is really underestimated by our Jinzhou defenders. General Li, after you go back, you must warn the soldiers to stick to the city, with such a strong city, even 100,000 male soldiers can not do anything, not to mention that the regent and the king of Su will definitely send troops to rescue. The official expected that in less than a month, the Wei thieves would retreat, and the defenders in the city would be rewarded heavily. Hong Chengchou looked at Li Chengdong and said, and then tore up the letter of surrender.

Seeing this, Li Chengdong didn't express any opinion, if the Wei army was really short of food and grass, then Jinzhou would still be able to defend it, but was the Wei army really short of food?

Li Chengdong did not mention the matter of surrendering the letter, but suddenly said: "My lord, I was patrolling the city and saw a strange thing, the Wei army was reclaiming wasteland by the river, and it seemed that they were preparing to farm. ”

"Ridiculous, September day, what does he plant?" Hong Chengchou's face sank, but he still said: "Let's go, go to the city!" ”

At that moment, Hong Chengchou turned over and came to the city with Li Chengdong, and sure enough, he saw that on the bank of the Xiaoling River in the distance, the Wei army was reclaiming wasteland, posing a posture of trapping Jinzhou and not leaving, and he wanted to consume the defenders to the end.

Hong Chengchou glanced at the distance, and secretly scolded the Wei thief in his heart, he looked left and right, and saw many soldiers pointing out outside the city with melancholy faces, and his heart immediately sank.

Behind him, Li Yuanyin clenched the handle of the knife with one hand, his face showed murderous intent, but Li Chengdong on the side glared at him fiercely.
