At this time, Huang Taiji knew that Jinzhou City had been attacked and captured relatively late. This is because the light cavalry units of the Model Army have carried out the task of blocking the battlefield very well, and the cavalry sent by Nikan for help have been intercepted and killed in the middle of the road. Second, it is also because the Manchu Qing, which has always been on the offensive, is not ready to be attacked by others.

When the Liaoxi Corridor was still in the hands of my Daming, from Jinzhou on the front line to Shanhaiguan, every other distance along the way, I Daming would build a castle, and the distance between each castle and the next castle was not large. In addition to the castle, I Daming also set up a large number of beacon towers along the corridor of western Liaoning, although the beacon tower can not transmit detailed information, but in terms of the speed of transmitting information, it is much faster than fast horses. It's just that these facilities, after the fall of Jinzhou, were abandoned by the Ming army one after another. The Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was in a strategic offensive position, could not find so many troops to occupy these castles for a long time because of its limited population, so in addition to the limited one or two castles, the Qing army would not occupy other castles, beacon towers or something. So, of course, this information transmission system no longer exists. This also led to the fact that three days after Jinzhou was captured, Huang Taiji discovered the problem because a batch of supplies that should have arrived at the front line of Shanhaiguan could not be delivered. And by the time Huang Taiji determined that Jinzhou had fallen, it was already the fifth day after the fall of Jinzhou.

The fall of Jinzhou put Huang Taiji in a predicament all of a sudden, because of the lack of artillery, (the artillery of the Tianyou Army has been finished) Huang Taiji suddenly did not have much way to take Shanhaiguan, and the fall of Jinzhou meant that the army lost its logistical supplies. If you continue to garrison the fortified city, it will be very dangerous once the army runs out of food. It's just that Huang Taiji is difficult to make a decision to retreat directly.

This was not because Huang Taiji was worried about being pursued by the defenders during his retreat. Although theoretically, the siege is not overcome, and the army that has to retreat is indeed vulnerable to the pursuit of the defenders, and the retreating army is also very prone to panic, leading to collapse in battle. But Huang Taiji knew that the premise of this situation was that the defending army's army had a good field combat capability, and the Guanning army, perhaps relying on the strong city, could still defend it, but they had been beaten by the Qing army more than once for many years, and they definitely did not have the courage to come out and pursue the Qing army.

It's just that some of the troops of the two white flags have already entered the pass, and if Huang Taiji retreats at this time, these troops of the two white flags will have a lot of trouble. Although Huang Taiji has always felt that the two white flags are a bit too big to fall, he wants to weaken the two white flags. But Huang Taiji was unwilling to weaken the two white flags by making them suffer on the battlefield. In any case, the two white flags were also part of the Eight Banners, and their losses were the same as the losses of the Manchu Qing as a whole. Therefore, in Huang Taiji's heart, the best way to weaken the two white flags is to find an opportunity to destroy the upper echelons of the two white flags, annex their population and army, just like he did when he dealt with the Mang Gurtai of the Zhenglan Banner, instead of letting them suffer defeat on the battlefield.

So Huang Taiji decided to wait a little longer, and he sent people into the customs to inform the two white banners, and inform Duoduo and Azigo, so that they were ready to withdraw from the Mongol territory, while he himself continued to lead the army and wait under the Shanhai Pass to contain the Ming army. At the same time, he also asked Haoge and Aobai to bring 10,000 troops back to the division first.

"You should be cautious along the way." Huang Taiji said, "First quickly return to Ningyuan, ensure that Ningyuan is followed, and then slowly investigate the enemy's situation." The enemy's ability to capture Jinzhou silently is absolutely not to be underestimated. ”

"Huang Ama." "Where did these enemy forces come from?" Why did you ...... all at once?"

Huang Taiji said: "Most of them are the Zheng family's people. During the Battle of Songjin that year, the Ming army relied on the Zheng family's shipping to ensure supplies. A few days ago, it was also the Zheng family's ships that had been delivering supplies to Shanhaiguan. I think it must have been the Zheng family's people who found out that we had few people in Jinzhou, so they directly landed near Jinzhou by sea boat, and then attacked Jinzhou. Seeing that they can take Jinzhou so smoothly, I am afraid that the number of dispatches will not be small. ”

Hauge said: "These pirates can only steal chickens and dogs!" Huang Ama, the children are gone, and they will be killed without a piece of armor! ”

Huang Taiji's face suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "Haoge, you didn't listen to what I told you just now, did you?" A pirate who can only steal chickens and dogs? If that's what you're thinking, then don't go. I'll send someone else! Hum! Silently attacking Jinzhou, can it be done casually? ”

"Huang Ama, the child understands." Haoge has also fought a lot of battles, as long as he thinks about it, he will naturally react, knowing what requirements for an army to land behind enemy lines and then quickly occupy Jinzhou, "The child will treat them as the Zhejiang soldiers and the white pole soldiers of the year." ”

Huang Taiji nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and signaled that he and Ao Bai could go down.

When Hauge and Ao Bai came out of the military tent, Huang Taiji asked people to call Sony again.

"See the emperor, may the emperor live long live long live!" As soon as Sonny entered the big tent, he hurried down to bow down.

"Get up? Don't be like those Nikans, who do so many tricks. Huang Taiji said.

"Huh!" Sony answered and got up. He knew that although Huang Taiji said not to engage in these tricks, in fact, in his heart, he liked the Han people's etiquette very much.

"How's it going in the army?" Huang Taiji asked.

It is impossible for the army to be completely unaware of such a major event as the attack on Jinzhou, especially when he made two white flags to send people to inform the entry of the customs, and asked Haoge and Aobai to withdraw first with a part of the team. Huang Taiji also knew this, so he asked.

"Your Majesty, there are already some rumors in the army." "But morale is stable." Everyone thinks that those thieves just took advantage of our absence to steal chickens and dogs, just like Mao Wenlong back then, it's not a big deal. When we go, they will only have to run away with their tails between their legs. ”

This situation is also in line with Huang Taiji's expectations, over the years, the Qing army has accumulated so many victories, these victories have made the Qing army extremely confident on the battlefield, and the morale of the Qing army is not such a temporary setback can be broken.

"Sony." Huang Tai Ji Road.

"The minions are here." Sony responded.

"I'm worried about something, you know?" Huang Taiji asked.

"The slave is stupid, where can I guess the emperor's thoughts." Sonny bowed his head.

Huang Taiji looked at Sony, shook his head, and said, "I'm worried that these pirates, after this time, will often attack the coast of my Great Qing Dynasty. How do you think we should respond? ”
