Half an hour later, the women of Beixunkou ran to Fuzhou City, and the sentry officer of the city immediately reported to Liu Aita of the garrison: "Report!" …… The garrison lord, according to the report of the old and weak people of the Beixunkou Banner who fled to the state city in a hurry, a large number of elite Ming troops suddenly appeared on Changsheng Island......"

"What? A large elite army? What the hell is going on? Reported in detail. When Liu Aita heard the astonishing news, he stood up, interrupted the words of the messenger, and asked in an incredible series of rhetorical questions.

"The defenders of Beixunkou went to Changsheng Island this morning as usual to search for fugitive slaves, but they were ambushed by the Ming army, and the whole army was wiped out, and was found by the banner man who collected firewood on the mountain of Beixunkou, she saw that the Ming army was about to cross the sea and land, because there were no men in the fort, and there was no way to defend it, so she notified the old and young of the fort to flee from Beixunkou in a hurry." The whistle-blowing officer then briefly introduced the whole process.

Listening to the words of the sentry guarding the city gate, Liu Aita was already moving in his heart, and thought of countless possibilities, he judged that the most likely was the letter he sent to Mao Dashuai in Dongjiang Town, Mao Dashuai finally adopted it, it may be that Mao Dashuai led the elite family Ding to cross the sea and go straight to Changsheng Island, preset an ambush, took advantage of the situation to destroy the defenders of Beixunkou, and then attacked Fuzhou, wanting to cooperate with himself inside and outside to capture Fuzhou City.

Thinking of this, Liu Aita was extremely happy in his heart, and he immediately slowed down and said to the sentinel: "This official knows, go back to the city gate to guard first, don't let the Ming army take advantage of the situation to attack the city, this official wants to discuss the military situation with a few adults, and retreat quickly!" ”

"Wow! Retire from your duties! The sentry struck a thousand with one hand, took a few steps back, and turned to go out.

When the sentry officer went out, Liu Xingzhi, who was standing at the head of the guard, hurriedly asked him: "Big brother, did Dongjiang Marshal Mao bring people to attack Fuzhou?" ”

(Liu Xingzhi is Liu Aita's younger brother, Liu Aita's real name is Liu Xingzuo, and the Later Jin people call him Liu Aita, and Korean literature calls it Liu Hai, a native of Kaiyuan in Liaodong.) The Liu family was originally a Liaodong wang clan, and he had as many as seven brothers, but it was a pity that one of his younger brothers, Liu Xingren, had been executed by the old slave in the third year of the Apocalypse, because he tried to betray Jin, was captured by the traitor's informant, and was brutally executed by the old slave. ）

"I don't know yet, I want to send a reliable person to Beixunkou to make contact, to explain my brother's determination to oppose Jin, but my family's goal is too obvious, fifth brother, you choose a reliable family member to go secretly with my handwriting, I and other brothers will get into trouble, and success or failure will be in one fell swoop." Liu Xingzuo has been waiting for this day for a long time, and he speaks with excitement and inexplicability.

"Good! I'll send someone to contact me right away. Liu Xingzhi also excitedly agreed.

After Liu Xingzhi took his handwritten book and left, Niu Lu Ezhen Tuobao, who was in charge of guarding Fuzhou City, broke into his study, and he asked Liu Aita loudly: "Liu Garrison, the Ming army is attacking in a big way, do you know?" ”

Although Liu Aita is the official residence of the garrison of Jinfu Second City, his status is lower than that of this Tartar Niu Lu Ezhen, so he dares to ask such questions.

"I just got the report, and I was about to send someone to find Lord Ezhen to discuss the friendship of defending the city, I didn't want you to arrive so soon." Liu Aita calmly responded.

"What are you keeping? I asked clearly, the Ming army is only more than 1,000 people, only two battalions of troops, we Jurchens are good at field battles, are we still shrinking in the city and waiting for them to fight, we should immediately send troops to attack those Ming troops who do not know the height of the sky, let them know how the dead word is written. Liu Aita's answer made Tuo Bao very unhappy, and he immediately clamored to send troops immediately.

"Ahem! I'm sorry! This official has the responsibility to defend the city, forgive me for not being able to accompany you to the crusade, I can only wish you success and annihilate the Ming army. Liu Aita did not approve of the field battle, and pretended that he was responsible for defending the city.

Liu Aita was reluctant to fight in the field, and Tuobao had no choice, after all, Liu Aita was an official to the garrison of the two cities, and he was still a high-ranking general soldier before, not his subordinates, so he had to say hatefully: "Okay! If you don't go, I'll lead the banner people to defeat the Ming army! Just wait and hear it! ”

Tuo Bao dropped the cruel words and scolded and left, Liu Aita was not only not annoyed, but also showed a mysterious sneer and said to himself: "Hmph! Let you be proud for a while, and I will lead the city to surrender later, and see who you accuse me to. ”

Not to mention Liu Aita, but to say that when Tuobao returned to the barracks, he ordered his subordinates to beat drums and call soldiers, and his Niu Lu is a permanent Niu Lu, which is a pure military unit, and his duty is to garrison Fuzhou and monitor Liu Aita's Han army. There are more than 200 armor soldiers, everyone has horses, plus Aha without armor, there are more than 500 people, and in the Jiannu Eight Banners, it can be regarded as a medium-sized Niulu.

The military discipline of the Tartars was very strict, and those who did not beat the drum three times would be beheaded, so after the two drums, all the Tartars who went out for business returned.

Tuo Bao stood on the platform of the generals, looking at the more than 200 elite Eight Banner armor soldiers below who had experienced a hundred battles, he was full of confidence, this was the elite of the Zhenghuang Banner directly led by the Great Khan, and everyone did not know how many Ming troops they had killed, and there were only two battalions of Ming troops, and he was completely confident that he would annihilate them.

"Jurchen warriors, a Ming army of only more than 1,000 people actually crossed the sea and landed to attack our important town in Fuzhou, which is simply an insult to our Jurchen warriors, and it is unbearable! Let us attack bravely, in the field, and annihilate the attacking Ming army with dignity! Let's go! ”

After shouting a few times to raise the morale of his soldiers, he announced his departure, and after saying that, he took the lead in getting on his horse and leading his men out of the barracks.

Out of the Fuzhou city gate, Tuobao commanded with a whip: "Eguna, this official ordered you to lead a group of horsemen to go out to reconnoitre." ”

"Wow!" A sturdy white-armored soldier answered the order loudly.

……

Yang Renyue on the other side saw that the matter had been leaked, so he simply didn't worry, he also discharged an arrow-shaped attack formation, so that Yang Renxuan's small banner took the lead, and Yang Renhuang and Yang Renhuang were divided into two wings, and they did not send sharp soldiers, so they formed a formation and came to Fuzhou.

It is really helpless not to send sharp soldiers, because the Black Armor Army has no cavalry, and sending infantry to reconnoiter Jiannu, who has a large number of cavalry, is almost like sending them to death.

However, he had learned that there were not many Tartars in Fuzhou, and there was also a Liu Aita who was bent on betraying gold, so he was not afraid at all, so he lined up in an attack formation and went to Fuzhou along the post road in a grand manner.

The distance between the two places was only a dozen miles in total, and Eguna led a few vests, galloped on horses, and in less than a pillar of incense, he saw the forward troops of the Black Armor Army.

Eguna is an old man, he knew that it was not the Ming army when he saw the black armor army, the Ming army had different armor styles, and there was no army with all the staff in iron armor, let alone the infantry with all the iron armor, in short, this was a very strange army with unknown origins.

Yes, it was infantry, and he couldn't help laughing at this, the other side didn't even have a cavalry, not even a reprimand, and he was helpless to let a few of his people investigate in front of the formation.

It is possible that the other side is crossing the sea and cannot carry horses, in short, this is good news for their own side, which means that they have an absolute advantage in the field battle, and they can choose a favorable time to attack at any time, and the other side has no solution to their own side, because they have no horses, how can two legs catch up with four legs.

Eguna led his subordinates, drove his horse to a high place to check, and saw that the other party had gathered a group of hedgehogs, and did not send anyone to drive them, so he came over with such a big grin, he knew that his few people and a few horses were incomprehensible to the opponent's large army, so he took the reins of the horse and turned the horse's head and said to his subordinates: "Go!" We'll go back and report to Lady Ejin. ”

After saying that, as soon as he shook the reins of his horse and shouted "drive" in his mouth, he rode his horse back to the direction of the state, and his armored soldiers rode their horses to follow and gallop away.
