At night, under the cover of night, the Jin army, which had withdrawn from eastern Sichuan, quickly advanced to the northwest under the leadership of Wu Sangui.

Although Wang Deren was led by him to the direction of Luzhou, it was less than a day away from Luzhou to the direction of Tieshan, so there was not enough time left for Wu Sangui.

When moving towards Tieshan, Wu Sangui sent a lot of scouts to investigate the direction of Tieshan in order to find out the situation, and the news brought back by the spies confirmed that Haoge was indeed surrounded in the Tuojiang Valley.

Now Wu Sangui can not take many ways, if he has a huge power in the Jin country, then he can ignore Haoge, directly slip away by himself, go to Xi'an to fight for power, take the opportunity to seize the power of the Jin country, learn from Wang Yan of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and even set up a shelf to do it himself.

However, even if Haoge is dead, the Jin State still has the Manchu faction led by Jierharang, as well as the Han gentry led by Meng Qiaofang and Han Chaoxuan, most of them will support the crown prince, and his power is not the strongest, he still has to stand aside, and he will be held accountable for not saving Haoge, and it is impossible for him to leave Dajin and join another country, so Wu Sangui can only rescue Haoge.

Besides, without Haoge in the Jin Kingdom, the morale will inevitably suffer a heavy blow, and he, as a person on the Jin State ship, does not want the Jin Kingdom to capsize.

In one day's time, Wu Sangui wanted to cross the Tuojiang River, attack Gukou, and pick up the trapped Jin army, but it was not safe, in case he could not break through the camp of the Ming army, and when Wang Deren caught up again, then he was also in danger of being trapped on the west bank.

After learning that Haoge was trapped in the valley west of the Tuojiang River, he decided to find another way and directly enter the valley on the east bank of the Tuojiang River, and then set up a pontoon bridge from the opposite bank to connect the Jin army and Haoge on the west bank from the pontoon bridge to the east bank, jumping out of the encirclement of the Ming army.

Wu Sangui set out from the east of Sichuan, along the way are mostly low hills, mixed with a large area of rice fields, the march is not difficult, they walked for two days, the bluestone ridge in the valley on the east bank, the outline can already be seen.

"Lord Wang! The entrance to the valley is ahead! One of the scout leaders leading the way for the army pointed to the Black Mountain that appeared in front of him, "It's here!" This is it! "The horses explored the way before the army, and felt the road very clearly, so that even at night, the army would not be led the wrong way.

Wu Sangui reined in his horse, stopped and looked around, a canyon was formed between the mountains in front of him, and the Tuojiang River flowed through this canyon, dividing the canyon into two halves, Haoge was trapped in the west of the canyon, and Wu Sangui was in the east.

"Is there a Ming army garrison in the east? Wu Sangui asked.

The leader of the scouts nodded, "Yes, there are about 2,000 people, and they have set up a small village under the Qingshi Ridge, and there are soldiers patrolling day and night, mainly to monitor the west bank and prevent anyone from escaping across the river!" ”

Wu Sangui nodded secretly, what the Ming army did this time can be said to be leaky, trapping Haoge to death, and even thinking of letting Wang Deren contain him, it was almost foolproof, but he didn't want him to get rid of Wang Deren.

The most important thing at the moment is to deal with the two thousand Ming troops on the east bank as soon as possible, and then cut down trees to build a pontoon bridge, he immediately looked fierce and ordered: "Hu Guozhu, bring your people to touch in, deal with the patrol post first, and then finish off the camp of the Ming army, try not to make a sound!" ”

When Hu Guozhu heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and took the order, and then led thousands of elites to walk past the army, disappear into the darkness, and touch the valley in the east.

Entering the valley, the Jin army soon found the Ming army patrol, they were carrying torches, patrolling along the river, to prevent the Jin army on the other side from slipping away at night, so the patrol was very frequent and strict, almost every distance on the east bank, there would be a bonfire and a sentry post.

"There it is!"

The Jin army that entered the valley was quickly divided into more than ten groups, Hu Guozhu was behind a big tree, looking at a fire lit by the river in the distance, more than a dozen soldiers gathered around the fire, most of them had fallen asleep, only two soldiers were still holding guns and standing facing the river, watching the situation on the river, preventing the Jin army on the west bank from crossing the river.

Hu Guozhu saw that the attention of the Ming army's sentry post was on the river, and he didn't expect someone to attack behind him, so he immediately waved his hand, and several elite Jin soldiers around him touched it lightly, and swooped out from behind, pressing the two sentry soldiers to the ground, ending their lives with a knife, and the other sleeping Ming soldiers were also cut throats by the Jin army.

In the woods by the river, the cries of night owls continued to sound, which meant that the Ming army posts by the river had been pulled out, and Hu Guozhu immediately said to the Jin army who were constantly gathering: "Go, take the camp of the Ming army!" "More than 1,000 Jin troops will solve all the Ming army posts along the way, and quickly move to the bottom of the bluestone ridge, but it is easy to pull out the sentry posts, but it is difficult to capture a camp quietly.

Hu Guozhu was in motion, just thinking about how to not make a movement, when a sudden sound of a gun in the darkness broke the silence of the entire east coast.

"There's a sentry!" Hu Guozhu was startled, the whole person suddenly stopped, and the team around him also stopped immediately, looking around in horror, but he didn't know the direction of the gun launch.

Suddenly, there was a sound of leaves and weeds in the grass in the distance, and a Ming army sentry sprinted back quickly, Hu Guozhu judged the direction, and suddenly shouted angrily, "There!" A few Jin soldiers around him immediately shot a rain of arrows, and there was a scream in the grass, and the leaves and weeds stopped moving.

Seeing this, Hu Guozhu frowned, because he saw the Ming army village not far away, after the sound of the gun, gradually woke up, a noisy sound sounded in the camp, the torch increased rapidly, the officers' shouts and the footsteps of the soldiers, showing that they had been prepared.

"Kill it directly!" Seeing that the sneak attack failed, Hu Guozhu immediately made a decision and changed it to a strong attack, and with a wave of his sword, more than a thousand golden soldiers roared from the darkness to the Ming army's small village, and the east bank immediately made a loud killing.

At this time, Wu Sangui had already led the army into the valley, and when he heard the shouts of killing, he knew that the sneak attack had failed.

He originally wanted to quietly solve the Ming army on the east bank, and then take advantage of the night to build a pontoon bridge, and unknowingly take the Jin army on the west bank to the east bank, and when the Ming army found out during the day, they had already jumped out of the encirclement and retreated to Chengdu.

Seeing that it had been exposed, Wu Sangui immediately ordered a team of men and horses to go to support Hu Guozhu and ask him to break through the camp as soon as possible, and then ordered: "All the horses and horses act together, cut down trees, and build the pontoon bridge as soon as possible!" ”

Once the Ming army on the west bank discovered the movement on the east bank and knew that someone would come to save Hauge, it would inevitably launch a fierce attack on the Jin army on the west bank, so his top priority at the moment was to build a pontoon bridge so that the Jin army attacked by the Ming army could retreat to the east bank.

At this time, in the valley on the west bank, the morale of the Jin army, which had been trapped for ten days, had fallen to the bottom, and although Hauge did not give up his survival and organized many breakthroughs, they all ended in failure.

These defeats made the Jin army even more desperate and demoralized, and more and more people surrendered to the Ming army every day.

At night, countless soldiers crowded the valley, some had already fallen asleep, some looked at the northern sky with dull eyes, and some people sang Guan Long's folk songs sadly, and their eyes were full of tears.

Hauge sat down with his back against the stone, but he couldn't sleep, he wondered what would happen to the Jin Kingdom he had created after he died? Whether the crown prince Qi Zheng's forehead can support his foundation, but when he thinks of the opponent of the Jin Kingdom, he is a little pessimistic.

"Your Majesty! Look at the East Coast! Sonny, who was beside Hauge, suddenly stood up.

Hearing this, Hauge raised his head, and the soldiers around him were already agitated with this shout, and he looked at the Ming army camp on the east bank, and then the sound of killing was also heard.

Seeing this, Haoge couldn't help but stand up, "This must be reinforcements, and no matter whose men and horses it is, they must all come to save him, the emperor of the Jin country." ”

The soldiers of the Jin Army in the valley almost all stood up, and the look of excitement on the faces of Sony and the others could not be concealed, and they shook hands with the people around them excitedly, and even hugged each other.

In Haoge's heart, a fighting spirit was ignited, this is the heavens that will not kill him, there is still someone to save him in such a desperate situation, he must reward this slave if he kills it.

"Your Majesty! The Ming army began to transfer troops! And while the crowd was excited, they heard a shout.

Haoge was startled, looked back, and saw that in the Ming army camp on the mountain, dense Ming soldiers held torches and rushed down the mountain.
