The sky gradually got dark, Man Gui let the very tired soldiers go down the city wall, these soldiers who got off the city wall did not dare to go back to the room to rest, they could only sleep under the city wall, the cold wind in Liaodong, the soldiers could only dozens of people huddle together, covered with four or five quilts, next to the stove, and some soldiers drank some small wine to keep warm.

After a day of fighting, some soldiers can still laugh and talk, and some soldiers have dull eyes, from which it can be seen that the soldiers who laugh and talk out loud have long been accustomed to life and death, and have no fear of this, and are the mainstay of the Liaodong Army against Houjin, and the eyes are dull, some of the soldiers who are afraid and panicked, but they are all recruits who have not been on the battlefield, and in the baptism of tempering and war, they will one day become the reliance of the Ming Dynasty.

The main force defending the city went down the city wall to rest, Man Gui from the reserve soldiers, transferred the energetic 5,000 people on the city wall, to assist in the defense, most of these soldiers came from a place, that is, the Beijing Division, as the three battalions of the Beijing Division rotation, more than 20,000 people, 5,000 people were assigned to Ningyuan, 5,000 people were assigned to Jinzhou, and the remaining 10,000 people were in Shanhaiguan, since the situation in Liaodong was tense, the three battalions of the 20,000 Beijing Division soldiers and horses also moved, and the three major battalions of the Shanhaiguan were transferred to Ningyuan, so there were 15,000 recruits in Ningyuan City, And these people have never experienced the battlefield, so in the first and second stages of Huang Taiji's siege of the city, these people were not sent to defend the city, they were all moving corpses, sending the wounded and other common people to do the work, of course, this is also a training for these soldiers.

These soldiers have seen Zhu Youzhen's appearance, and often boast to the soldiers around them that they have seen the emperor's appearance, these soldiers also want to be able to enter the battlefield and kill the enemy for the country, but the generals just don't use them, and it also makes these young strong men angry. It will also become their most valuable experience and wealth.

After a full day of fighting, as darkness fell, both sides called up their armies.

Ningyuan City, Sun Chengzong's residence.

Because Ningyuan City is different from the big city in the Guannei, he was originally a small city, after the battle of Salhu, the geographical location of Ningyuan City was superior, the city wall was strengthened by the imperial court, but the city was not expanded, after the outbreak of the war, 100,000 people poured into this small city, it was very crowded, and Sun Chengzong's residence was only a private house, guarded by brocade guards outside the door, and there were only two people in the room, Man Gui and Sun Chengzong.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, an oil lamp emits a faint glow, and the two of them sit down in a priority position.

Regarding the situation in Jinzhou, Sun Chengzong knew a little bit about the battle report, Dai Shan was deflated everywhere outside Jinzhou City, and he was not as calm as Huang Taiji, so the breakthrough that Sun Chengzong had been looking for was on Dai Shan outside Jinzhou City.

In fact, Nurhachi's failure on the Liaodong defense line was very touching to these Baylors of the Houjin, and in the real history, after the death of Nurhachi, the Houjin did not directly start attacking the Ming Dynasty, but first at the end of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, coerced Korea, established the so-called brotherly alliance, and conquered the steppe in the west, solved the threat of Lin Dan Khan, and finally began to attack the Ming Dynasty, but this history has changed, because of the alliance, the Ming army directly garrisoned North Korea, and Lin Dan Khan also stopped moving westward. This made Huang Taiji worried, this attack on the Ming Dynasty was to make the Mongols and Koreans understand that the Ming State was unreliable and broke the so-called alliance between their three parties, so once this war broke out, Huang Taiji did not think of ending it hastily.

"Lin Dan Khan's 50,000 cavalry is gradually approaching Daishan, and Daishan does not have the order of Huang Taiji, and will not withdraw his troops rashly, at this time, it seems that Daishan is an opportunity for our army, and in Jinzhou, we not only have 60,000 defenders, but also arrange 30,000 cavalry, if Zhao Shujiao commands properly, the results of the battle will be very expensive." Sun Chengzong said softly.

"Lord Zhao's talent and military strategy, the last general does not doubt it, but, my lord, you must remember that when Yuan Chonghuan ran Liaodong, he often said that Houjin has strong field combat capabilities, and our army should rely on artillery to hold on to the city, and Lord Zhao and Yuan Chonghuan are not ordinary relations, if they are affected by Yuan Chonghuan, they may delay the fighter." Man Gui and Yuan Chonghuan disagree, this matter is not a secret in the Ming court, as early as the sixth year of the Apocalypse, because the two impeached each other, the court had the intention of transferring Man Gui back to Beijing, but among the military horses of the Liaodong system, Man Gui's status was very high, and the court thought that if such a general was transferred back, it would be unfavorable to the situation in Liaodong, so it has been holding on.

"Zhao Shujiao is not an ordinary talent, the official believes that he can seize this opportunity, and the official also wrote a letter to him before the siege of Jinzhou, saying to him, if the Mongolian army did not come as agreed, let him stick to Jinzhou, 30,000 cavalry is only asked to contain Dai Shan, but if Mongolia sends reinforcements, everything is under his command, the official did not explain, but he knows that Zhao Shujiao has understood, although he has a very good relationship with Yuan Chonghuan, but he cannot but deny one thing, that is, Yuan Chonghuan is in Liaodong, It is indeed powerful, too conservative, and the annual expenditure of millions of silver, but it is a lingering burden for the imperial court, Zhao Shujiao must understand, and he will definitely take this risk for his own official. “

"It's no wonder that adults believe in Zhao Shujiao so much."

"Not only the official has to believe it, Man Gui, the official ordered you to believe it, the official is old, he can stay in Liaodong for a few years, three years, four years, and in the end, Liaodong still depends on you young people, Zhao Shujiao is worthy of a great responsibility, in the future, you also have to help a lot, you must not be influenced by Yuan Chonghuan and disagree with him." Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

Man Gui is a martial artist, has a lot of military exploits, has a sense of arrogance in his bones, looks down on Yuan Chonghuan, and has to look down on it all the time, but what Sun Chengzong said, he didn't dare not listen, when he was still a hundred households, it was Sun Chengzong who was promoted step by step, so that he had today's position, for Sun Chengzong's kindness, this Man Gui did not dare to forget, and the relationship between the two people is also very close, in private, Man Gui often called Sun Chengzong teacher, there are some words, Sun Chengzong is also very willing to say to Man Gui.

"The last will understand." Man Gui was taught.

"Tomorrow, Huang Taiji will continue to attack, and when the time comes, don't relax."

"The last will be the last to die."
