The Xuanjia army followed the trail for two days, and finally got on the official road to Jinan Mansion.

Whether Jining City was broken at this time, Fang Yuan was also unsure, and immediately led the army straight to Jining City without stopping.

On the way, Fang Yuan also happened to meet a Tartar cavalry of Niu Lu, who was in the red flag, and the army was also escorting grain and grass, and it was estimated that military rations were transported from Jinan Mansion to Qingfeng Mountain.

Fang Yuan didn't say a word, and directly led the Xuanjia Army to completely annihilate the grain transportation team of this 1 Niu Lu, which could be regarded as recovering some blood debts for the brothers of Qingfeng Mountain.

He also burned all the food and grass that had been escorted, and stripped off all the military uniforms of the corpses.

Five days later, Fang Yuan's Xuanjia army once again slaughtered into the territory of Jining Prefecture and secretly entered Jiaxiang County, which had been captured.

Jiaxiang County was cleaned twice by the Manchu Qing Tartars, and it was already an empty ghost town.

Many ragged Ming soldiers came along the official road of Jining City, and Fang Yuan grabbed a Ming army to ask, it turned out that they all fled from Jining City.

Fang Yuan inquired about the situation in Jining City, and after listening to the Ming army's story, he couldn't cry or laugh.

It turned out that in the past month, Liu Zeqing and the Manchu Tartars outside the city have played a delaying method of fighting and stopping.

After being attacked by the Manchus for three or five days, Liu Zeqing immediately agreed to surrender, and sent 100 stone of grain to the Manchu army every day from the south gate where no one attacked.

After the negotiations dragged on for three or five days, Liu Zeqing immediately repented, and Abatai saw that he was fooled and began to order a fierce attack.

Three or five days later, Liu Zeqing continued to demand surrender and sent a few hundred stones of grain to the army.

Abatai may be worried that the 100,000 Ming army is still trapped and fighting, and the strong attack will cause heavy losses; or waiting for the news of the annihilation of Fang Yuan with the white flag, but under the city of Jining, he played a farce of repeated surrender and regret with Liu Zeqing.

Liu Zeqing, the coward, was a little backbone than he expected, although he acted in a farce, at least he had not surrendered to Abatai until now.

The eight hundred brothers of Qingfeng Mountain desperately bought Fang Yuan only five days at most, and the time left for Fang Yuan to relieve the siege of Jining City was not very sufficient.

In order to hide his whereabouts, Fang Yuan took care of all the Ming troops passing through Jiaxiang County, ordered the Xuanjia Army to rest in Jiaxiang County for one or two days, and then sent a few spies to Jining Prefecture to inquire about the latest news, whether it was in the surrender period or the siege period.

The next day, the spies reported that Jining City was currently in the siege period, and the three banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were storming Jining City on three sides, and the city wall was already in ruins, and there were fires everywhere, and it seemed that the materials in the city had already been exhausted, and Liu Zeqing's delaying farce was estimated to not last long.

The chance to raid has finally arrived!

Fang Yuan immediately divided the Xuanjia Army into five teams, two teams of five hundred people, wearing yellow flag and blue flag uniforms; a team of 300 people, wearing a red flag uniform; A team of 100 remained in Jiaxiang City to guard the horses; A hundred-man team was led by Fang Yuan.

In addition to the firearms, all the weapons and equipment were equipped with fine iron waist knives seized from the Manchu Qing Tartars.

It was noon when I arrived at the post station twenty miles outside Jining City, and the spies in front came to report that the Tartar soldiers were storming Jining City.

Fang Yuan and Chigutai took the Xuanjia army to hide in the dense forest, and began to explain the strategy of the main attack this time, as well as the direction of each team's attack.

The strategy of this main attack is to focus on sneak attacks, and never love war; It is mainly to preserve strength, supplemented by annihilating the enemy. Once hand-to-hand combat is formed, they will immediately withdraw from the battlefield, and the meeting place is the county seat of Jiaxiang. Jiaxiang County is very close to Liangshan Shuibo, and you can escape to Liangshan Shuibo for refuge.

The direction of the main attack this time was the unorganized barracks with the yellow flag and the blue flag, and the well-organized barracks with the blue flag were temporarily spared.

The specific directions of attack of each team are:

A team wearing a yellow flag uniform, attacking the barracks of the blue flag;

A team wearing a blue flag uniform, attacking the yellow flag barracks;

The 300 men wearing the uniforms of the Zhenghongqi will cut off the connection between the two military camps of the Zhenglan Banner and the Zhenghuang Banner, and if there is any mutual support, they will be annihilated on the spot.

Fang Yuan led a hundred Xuanjia troops to enter the city from the south gate, and persuaded Liu Zeqing's army to encircle and suppress the Zhenglan Banner and Zhenghuang Banner under the city before and after leaving the city.

The task assignment has been decided, and the Xuanjia Army is already in full array, just waiting for Fang Yuan's final reprimand before they can immediately enter the battlefield.

Fang Yuan rode his horse to the front of the 1,500 Xuanjia Iron Horsemen, looked around, and shouted loudly with a megaphone, "I have a dream, that is, to lead the world's most elite iron horsemen from the grassland to the south of the Yangtze River, and travel all over the rivers and mountains!" Before today, you may have been mercenaries, outcasts, outcasts; After today, you will only have a new name - the Iron Rider of Xuanjia! ”

Fifteen hundred sergeants of the Xuanjia Army held aloft fire guns and sabers and shouted in unison.

"Xuanjia Iron Rider!"

"Xuanjia Iron Rider!"

Chigutai waved his hand, causing everyone to silence, and Fang Yuan continued, "Today, you are tigers and wolves, and Tartar soldiers are rabbits and sheep!" Fire guns and sabers are your minions, go and tear the Tartar soldiers to pieces, and use the blood of the Tartar soldiers to lay the foundation for the success of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry! After today, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry will surely go down in history as the strongest army in the world and be famous through the ages! ”

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Fifteen hundred Xuanjia Iron Riders began to shout in unison, reaching into the sky.

Fang Yuan reined in the reins of his horse, raised the thunderbolt fire gun in his hand, and shouted loudly, "Xuanjia Iron Horseman, invincible in the world!" ”

The morale of all the sergeants had been boosted to the peak by Fang Yuan, and they all shouted loudly after him in unison.

"Xuanjia Iron Horseman, invincible in the world!"

"Xuanjia Iron Horseman, invincible in the world!"

Chigutai galloped back and forth in front of the army, holding a fire gun in one hand and a saber in the other, shouting, "Capture Abatai alive!" Win! Win! ”

"Capture Abatai alive! Win! Win! ”

Chigutai led the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, whose morale and fighting spirit had been raised to the peak, and slaughtered to the city of Jining.

The spiritual encouragement method can only play the role of a stimulant, raising morale and fighting spirit in a short period of time, but it is far from determining the victory or defeat of the battlefield, especially when encountering the Manchu Eight Banners, which are among the best in the world.

The only thing that can really decide the outcome of a war is strength!

In other words, Fang Yuan's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry could only play a role in disturbing the hearts of the Tartar soldiers, and the only one who could really give the Tartars a fatal blow could only be Liu Zeqing's tens of thousands of Ming troops in Jining City.

Fang Yuan's willingness to send troops first to disturb the morale of the Zhenglan Banner and Zhenghuang Banner has given Liu Zeqing one last chance. If Liu Zeqing was still afraid of the enemy like a tiger and did not dare to go out of the city to attack the Tartar soldiers, it would be completely hopeless, and Fang Yuan could only choose to harass him a little, and then withdraw to the Gyeonggi area, leaving Liu Zeqing to fend for himself.

Fang Yuan led a hundred Xuanjia iron horsemen, detoured under the south gate, and went directly to call the city gate.

"Knock Knock"

The sound of gold in the Manchu Tartar military camp sounded in a panic, and it seemed that it was raided by the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry of Chigutai, and it began to sound gold warnings.

At the beginning of the battle, the sergeants guarding the south gate dared to open the door for him, and they all drew their bows and arrows and aimed at Fang Yuan and his party.

Fang Yuan raised Shang Fang's sword and shouted loudly, "This is Shang Fang's sword, I am Fang Yuan, let Liu Zeqing come to receive the order immediately!" ”

Seeing that Fang Yuan was coming with Shang Fang's sword, the garrison sergeant did not dare to slack off, and immediately went to report it.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the south gate opened, and the generals under Liu Zeqing welcomed Fang Yuan into Jining City and brought him directly to the Jining Mansion to meet Liu Zeqing.

Liu Zeqing is about forty years old, born with a white face and red lips, a handsome appearance, and a Confucian general's demeanor. But there is a majestic chimpanzee on his side, and the wild chimpanzee is by no means commensurate with Liu Zeqing's politeness.

Liu Zeqing saw Fang Yuan, put on a smiling face, and said while feeding the chimpanzees, "Governor Fang, hey, why didn't you protect the emperor in the capital and come to Jining City?" ”

Outside Jining City, Chigutai was fighting a vicious battle with the Manchu Tartars, Fang Yuan didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with him at all, and said in a deep voice, "General Liu, our army is attacking the Tartar camp from behind, you immediately send troops out of the city and gather to annihilate the Tartar soldiers!" ”

Liu Zeqing knew the military situation outside the city, and he had already seen it when the Manchu Tartar military camp was attacked.

But at this critical juncture of the military situation, Liu Zeqing continued to feed the chimpanzees unhurriedly, "Governor Fang is really brave, since one person can completely annihilate the Tartar soldiers under the city, how dare Liu take credit with Governor Fang?" ”

As soon as Fang Yuan heard it, he knew that Liu Zeqing did not want Fang Yuan to monopolize the credit for annihilating the Manchu Tartars, and wanted to get a piece of the pie, this bastard thing, he still had the heart to share the credit at this critical juncture of the military situation!

Fang originally wanted to ridicule him a few words, but at this time, after a moment of nonsense, the casualties of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry were a few points greater, so he could only hold back his anger and put on a smile like a reception, "General Liu is a person who was born in the army and knows the soldiers, he should know that the military situation is urgent, and the fighter plane is fleeting, so he immediately sent troops to defeat the Tartar soldiers, and only after winning this battle can he talk about merit." Fang only seeks to destroy the enemy, not to take credit, if General Liu wants to invite credit, he can give it to you. ”

Liu Zeqing has been on the battlefield for a long time, how could he not know the key to it, and began to bargain with Fang Yuan, "In this case, I will not delay the fighter, defeat the Manchu Tartars outside the city, and all the gold and silver captured will be mine!" ”

Fang Yuan was worried about the casualties of the Xuanjia Army outside the city, so he responded to Liu Zeqing's request without thinking about it, "Yes, the plundered population belongs to me!" ”

Liu Zeqing is a greedy person for money, and he likes gold and silver, not those people, and said happily, "Governor Fang is a happy person, so I won't be verbose, deal!" ”

The two decided on the distribution of the spoils after the war in a few words, Liu Zeqing patted the chimpanzee, ordered his subordinates to take him away, got up and said, "The generals of each battalion listen to the order, and the whole army will attack and annihilate the Tartar soldiers with the yellow flag and the blue flag!" ”

Liu Zeqing is worthy of being a warlord who has come up in the barracks, obviously ready to attack, Fang Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this time there is really a glimmer of hope to defeat Abatai!
