Under the bright moonlight, Li Hongyu stood on a mountain bag on the bank of the Xiaoling River, looking at the Ming troops who were lining up to cross the river under the cover of night.

In order to capture Jinzhou, he sent more than 13,000 people at hand, and his strength was twice that of the Jin army after Jinzhou, and it was imperative for Jinzhou, otherwise it would be impossible to save the soldiers and civilians trapped in the Thirteen Mountains.

In fact, Li Hongyu's visit to the Thirteen Mountains this time was not as simple as he said to Naren Tuoya, the Thirteen Mountains were only more than a hundred miles away from Guangning City, and if the Houjin army attacked in a big way, then Li Hongyu would fall into a bitter battle.

Although he knew that there was a great danger in going to the Thirteen Mountains this time, Li Hongyu still came, on the one hand, he judged that Nurhachi, who had achieved the goal of the Battle of Guangning, would not start a big battle with him, and on the other hand, he took pity on the soldiers and civilians trapped in the Thirteen Mountains.

Besides, among those high-ranking officials in Shanhaiguan, except for Li Hongyu, no one could play a role in boosting the morale of the Ming army, let alone achieving his military attainments.

"Xianggong, did you say that Lin Dan Khan would come to help in the war?" Naren Toya came to Li Hongyu's side, glanced at the soldiers crossing the river, and asked with some concern.

"Lin Dan Khan is also an eagle in the grassland, so he naturally knows that the current enemy is Jiannu, so he will definitely send troops here." Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and replied confidently.

As soon as he arrived at Shanhaiguan, he sent a letter to Lin Dan Khan of Mongolia, inviting him to attack Houjin left and right, and drive Houjin back to the east of the Liao River.

Regarding Li Hongyu's move, including Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan, those senior officials in Shanhaiguan did not think that Lin Dan Khan would send troops, after all, Wang Huazhen gave Lin Dan Khan so many benefits, but as a result, Lin Dan Khan still did not send troops to attack Houjin, and Li Hongyu wanted Lin Dan Khan to send troops just by virtue of a letter, which was too unrealistic.

In the eyes of Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan, the Mongols were the enemies of the Ming Dynasty like the Later Jin, and they often went south to the Ming Dynasty to plunder and were not trustworthy, and they were extremely greedy, and they would not send troops if they did not give Lin Dan Khan benefits.

However, Li Hongyu was full of confidence in this, and the loss of Guangning City caused Lin Dan Khan to cause serious losses, because Guangning was the place where the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia traded with each other, and once it was taken by the Houjin, then Lin Dan Khan could not continue to trade with the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Dan Khan can obtain a lot of benefits through the mutual market every year, so he definitely does not want Houjin to occupy Guangning, and he will definitely send troops to help in the war at the invitation of Li Hongyu.

Before this, I am afraid that Lin Dan Khan would never have thought that Houjin would easily seize Guangning City, let alone that the Ming army would withdraw thousands of miles and give Liaoxi to Houjin.

Moreover, Lin Dan Khan's biggest enemy now is not the Ming Dynasty, but the fast-rising Houjin, when the Houjin defeats the Ming army in Liaoxi, the next step must be to the west, and then Lin Dan Khan will be the brunt.

In fact, after the Transkhalkha moved westward, Lin Dan Khan's territory was already bordering Hou Jin, and the two sides were constantly in conflict, so sooner or later there would be a big war, and Lin Dan Khan must have realized this.

It's a little ridiculous to say, the reason why Houjin didn't go south along the Liaoxi Corridor to expand the results of the battle this time is that in addition to the lack of troops, the threat of Lin Dan Khan is the most feared thing by Nurhachi, and it is obvious that Lin Dan Khan will not sit idly by and watch Nurhachi occupy Liaoxi.

In other words, the rapid expansion of the Later Jin has made Lin Dan Khan have to stand on the same front as the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty can retreat to Guannei if he is defeated in Liaoxi, but Lin Dan Khan has no way to retreat if he faces the attack of the Later Jin.

In the final analysis, Lin Dan Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia, could only command the Mongol Chahar tribe and those small and medium-sized tribes that depended, and if he lost his territory, it would mean that he would lose the power in his hands, and then he would only die, so there was no way to retreat.

In the early hours of the morning, with a dull loud noise, the east gate of Jinzhou City was wiped out in a firelight.

Immediately, there was a muffled sound at the west gate, and the city gate of the west gate was also torn apart in a sudden flame.

"Brothers, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, and those who capture Mang Gurtai alive will be promoted to the third rank! Kill! In the night, Zhao Feng, who was ambushed outside the east gate of Jinzhou, pulled out his waist knife and shouted at the soldiers of the forbidden army behind him.

"Kill!" Hearing this, the sergeants of the forbidden army raised their weapons one after another, and rushed into the city gate that had been blown open by explosives under the leadership of their respective military attachés, and the west gate also resounded with overwhelming shouts of killing.

Li Hongyu naturally had to bring some firearms to Liaodong this time, but because of the urgency of time, he could not call the relatively cumbersome artillery, and the musket was not suitable for confrontation on the battlefield now, so he naturally chose explosives, which were sharp weapons when setting up ambushes and attacking cities.

According to the siege plan formulated in advance, the forbidden army attacked the east gate and the west gate at the same time, so as to catch the Houjin army in the city by surprise, force the Houjin army to retreat from the north gate, and then enter Li Hongyu's ambush circle outside the north of the city, and concentrate superior forces to encircle and suppress.

"General, the university sergeant has an order, as the commander of an army, you must not charge into battle!" Zhao Feng rolled up his sleeves and was about to follow those forbidden soldiers into Jinzhou City, but was stopped by the guards around him and said to him in a loud voice.

Since the officers of the new army system were generally young, Li Hongyu was worried that they would take the lead in killing the enemy on the battlefield, so he made a ban on those middle and high-ranking generals who were strictly forbidden to charge into battle, otherwise they would be punished by military law.

Zhao Feng frowned slightly when he heard this, and then slowly put down the knife in his hand, and watched with regret as the forbidden soldiers rushing past him rushed into Jinzhou City, if it wasn't for Li Hongyu's strict order, he would definitely follow the soldiers into the city.

"What's going on?"

The Houjin army in Jinzhou City was awakened by the two thunderous noises in their sleep, and then they heard the coral tsunami-like shouts of killing, and they looked at each other for a while, unable to react to what had happened.

First, because they slept in a daze, and secondly, the Ming army was beaten by them and fled in embarrassment, they did not believe that the Ming army dared to attack Jinzhou City.

Besides, Songshan in the southeast of Jinzhou and on the south bank of the Xiaoling River is still in the hands of the Houjin, and if the Ming army comes, it stands to reason that Songshan should be attacked first, and the Houjin army in Jinzhou will definitely get the news at that time.

However, the Houjin army in Jinzhou City did not expect that Li Hongyu would use the "island jumping tactic" to bypass Songshan and lead the army to cross the Xiaoling River to attack Jinzhou City.

The Houjin army in Songshan has only more than 1,000 people, and the strength is much smaller than that of Jinzhou, mainly playing the role of vigilance, in Li Hongyu's opinion, whether to capture it is of little significance, it is better to directly attack Jinzhou, as long as Jinzhou is recaptured, then the Houjin army in Songshan will not dare to act rashly.

"Ming Army! The Ming army has come in! After the initial stunned, someone finally reacted, shouted and got up from the kang and hurriedly got dressed.

The rest of the Houjin soldiers reacted one after another, realizing that the Ming army was coming to sneak attack, they got up one after another, put on their clothes, and hurried out of the barracks with their weapons.

"What's going on?" Mang Gurtai had been drinking until midnight last night before he fell asleep with the two young women he had taken captive, and after being awakened by the sound of the door being blown up, he got out of bed and went out of the door, and asked in a loud voice to the soldiers on duty in the courtyard.

"Back to Baylor, it seems that the Ming army has attacked the city." A soldier who was listening to the movement outside bowed to Mang Gurtai and replied in a deep voice.

"Ming Army?" Mang Gurtai was slightly stunned when he heard this, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, in his opinion, the Ming army had already been frightened, so where did he have the courage to attack Jinzhou City.

However, the shouts of killing from far and near in the east and west made Mang Gurtai have to believe that it was the Ming army that attacked, because they could only be attacked by the Ming army.

"Pass the order down, give Benbel a hard beating, and win this battle, Benbel will be rewarded."

Then, Mang Gurtai's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he gave the order gloomily, so that he didn't pay attention to the Ming army who had fled in the desert not long ago.

"Lord Belle, the Ming army attacking tonight is extremely ferocious, and the style of their military uniforms is a little weird, it doesn't seem to be the Ming army in Liaodong."

A quarter of an hour later, just as Mangultai was entangled with the two young women in bed, an urgent voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Not the Ming army in Liaodong?" When Mang Gurtai heard the voice, he hurriedly got up from a woman's body, opened the door and looked at a middle-aged man in Jurchen costume standing outside with a stunned expression.

Although this middle-aged man is dressed in goddess clothes, and even the style has become a Jurchen Yang, the head in front of his forehead is shaved, and he has a braid behind his head, but his face is Han.

This middle-aged man is none other than Li Yongfang, the first surrendered general of the Ming Dynasty to surrender to Jin, and the guerrilla general of the former Fushun Qianhusuo.

After Li Yongfang surrendered, Jin was appointed by Nurhachi as a third-class deputy general, and married the daughter of Bel Abatai, and then repeatedly invaded Liaodong and Liaoxi with Nurhachi, refused Wang Huazhen's surrender, and successively led his army to capture Qinghe, Tieling, Liaoyang, Shenyang and Guangning.

Therefore, after the Battle of Quang Ninh, Li Yongfang was awarded the rank of third-class chief officer by Nurhachi, and in order to reward his meritorious service, he was specially given the privilege of "avoiding death three times", which won Nurhachi's trust.

Li Yongfang was originally in Guangning City, and half a month ago was sent by Nurhachi to Jinzhou to attack the Thirteen Mountains and other Ming soldiers and civilians who refused to surrender in the city.

It stands to reason that Mang Gurtai, who is one of the four great beylers, should not appear in Jinzhou City, but he fell in love with the people in the Jinzhou area, and was ready to distribute more of the captured people of Liaoxi in Nurhachi after his military exploits, so he volunteered to come to Jinzhou.

Although Mang Gurtai is a noble Baylor, he still attaches great importance to Li Yongfang, after all, Li Yongfang is a person who is valued and trusted by Nurhachi, and he is a brave and resourceful figure among the generals of Houjin, and he does not want other generals of Houjin to be simple-minded and empty-handed.

Therefore, when Li Hongfang personally came to warn Mang Gurtai, where did Mang Gurtai still have lustful thoughts, and hurriedly came out to inquire, wanting to know who attacked Jinzhou tonight.
