The emergency military report from the city of Odori passed through Nayin City (later Changbai), Zhusheli City, Kuandianbao and other places, and was quickly sent into the blue-flaged yamen of Zhenjiang Fort, which frightened Jilharang and Shuotuo and others at that time.

Jierharang, Shuotuo and others have long known that the Great Khan of the Dajin Kingdom will take tens of thousands of Jurchen troops to the west to conquer Har, and then go south to attack the border of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of whether they can break through the border and enter the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Wenlong of Dongjiang Town will definitely not be indifferent after receiving the news from the interior of the Ming Dynasty, and will definitely make some moves.

It is precisely because of this judgment that when the army on the left of Dongjiang Town attacked and harassed the Liaodong coast by boat from the sea, and the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula suddenly ignited the flames of war, although the big men with blue flags such as Jilharang and Shuotuo got the news at the first time, they never moved.

Because they have to be on guard at any time against the armies of Mao Chenglu, Shang Kexi and others in front of the Yalu River.

Even when Dolgon, who was in a high position among the Jurchen Eight Banners of the Great Jin Kingdom, sent the terrible news that Duoduo's soldiers had been defeated and died, Jilharang, Shuotuo and others still put more thoughts on the direction of Andong City opposite Zhenjiang Fort.

But when the urgent report from the city of Odori arrived at Zhenjiang Fort, Zilharang, Shuoto, Fu Erdan and others could no longer sit still.

The army that was originally going to be sent to southern Liaoning to help fight Dolgon was immediately stopped.

On the night of 30 October, Zilharang convened his subordinate Belshuto, his ministers Chahara, Shusai, Fu Erdan, and others in the blue-flaged garrison yamen in Zhenjiang Fort.

Zilharan took the urgent military report from the city of Odori, and said to the people with a worried and gloomy face:

"First in southern Liaoning, the Qu Chengen Department on the left road of Dongjiang Town continued to go ashore to harass my Jurchen Xinli Zhuangtun, and then there was a raid on Fuzhou City by the Denglai Naval Division, and the white flag master Duoduo Belle led the army to fight and was ambushed and fought!

"Now, the fleet of the Ming Army's naval division suddenly appeared at the mouth of the Douman River, and the Ming Army of Andong City, which I had on the front of the blue flag, has not moved, there must be some amazing conspiracy in this!

"Jiubeile has just sent a letter asking us to send troops to help fight and recapture the state city, but there is a police in the northern Varkha Department, and it is the heart of my Dajin country, and both places must be saved! How to deal with it, can you say it? ”

The son of Daishan, one of the two solid mountains of the Blue Flag, Belle Shuoto, said to Zilharang first: "Heshuo Belle is right! At this moment, there are police messages in both the south and the north, and there must be fraud in this!

"It's just that Liaonan is good to say, with the wisdom of the fourteenth uncle, even if he can't recapture the city of Huizhou, he will definitely be able to stop the Denglai Ming army from returning to Zhou!

"And Valkhabel Bzhantai and others, in the face of the Ming army that attacked from the sea, have already lost several cities, and the other place is not far from the heart of my golden heart, I set the blue flag to garrison the east road, it is my responsibility, but it is impossible to save it!"

Shuoto is also the title of Baylor, but his Baylor is the little Baylor, which is slightly lower than one of the Eight Great Peacekeepers who were divided during the slave period like Zilharang.

But even so, with his background as the son of Daishan and the grandson of the old slave, Shuotuo, as one of the Ergu Mountains with the blue flag today, still has a lot of weight.

After Shuoto said this, Zilharang nodded and looked at the others.

And the Minister of Flag Affairs under the Blue Flag, Chahara, also said: "When the Great Khan led his army to the expedition before, he ordered the two white flags to strictly guard the southern line such as Fuju and Gaiju, and ordered me to strictly guard the eastern front of Korea with the blue flag.

"If there is no Ming army in the area of Doumanjiang, we can send troops to help the two white flags. It's just that the plan for now is to go north and then south! If you want to come to Fourteen Baylor to hear about the northern police information, you will not hold me accountable for not helping! ”

After Chahara finished speaking, Shu Sai, the assistant minister under the blue flag, Mel Ezhen Arzin, who was stationed in Zhenjiang Fort, and Mel Ezhen Mengatu, who was stationed at Kuanden Fort, also said one after another:

"Varka City and other places must not be saved! The minions are willing to lead the headquarters Niu Lu to exterminate the Ming army! ”

At this time, Zilharang hesitated for a moment and said: "Of course, it is necessary to save it, but who to lead the army to save must be carefully considered!" ”

When Zilharan had finished speaking, he watched as the crowd did not speak, and the others began to talk again.

Everyone had just agreed on the candidate to lead the army to the north to resist the Ming army's assault, and Zilharang was about to make a decision and send someone to give orders, when they suddenly heard a rumbling cannon!

"Not good! The Ming army in Andong City is about to attack! ”

Zilharang, who uttered this sentence, may not have realized what this sentence meant.

Once upon a time, only the army of the Dajin Kingdom took the initiative to fight the Ming army.

Especially since the Jurchen victory in the Battle of Sarhu and the defeat of the Ming army, few Ming troops dared to take the initiative to attack the Jurchen army.

There had never been a Jurchen Eight Banner owner who would have panicked when the Ming army launched an attack on him.

But at this time, when Jierharang subconsciously said this, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Dajin Kingdom in Zhenjiang Fort with the blue flag stationed in the yamen did not feel anything wrong.

Because today's east bank of the Yalu River is full of fortifications built by the General Military Office on the front road of Dongjiang Town.

On the east bank of the Yalu River in front of Zhenjiang Fort alone, there are twelve fortress-type Ming army batteries from north to south, and each fort is equipped with more than ten general cannons or Furlong machine guns.

In the Andong City behind this batch of forts, eight huge fortresses protruding from the outside of the city were also built in more than a year, and on the two fortresses facing the Yalu River, Hongyi cannons with a range almost extended to the surface of the Yalu River were also installed.

When the Ming army was building forts on the east bank of the Yalu River, Jilharang once sent troops across the river to stop the Ming army's movements, but after the fortresses on both sides of the west gate of Andong City were successfully built, Jierharang stopped his futile attack.

After the successful test firing of these forts built by the Ming army along the east bank of the Yalu River, Jierharang gave up the plan to cross the river from the area of Zhenjiang Fort to attack the Ming army.

In this way, the Jurchen troops with blue flags stationed on the west bank of the Yalu River and the troops under the command of the General Military Office of the Qianlu Road of Dongjiang Town, stationed on the east bank of the Yalu River, were only a few miles apart, but they were separated by a Yalu River, maintaining a rare peaceful situation.

Compared with the Ming army's large-scale efforts to build a series of fortresses and forts along the river, the blue banner also built some walled cities along the west bank of the Yalu River, and stationed a large number of archers and crossbowmen, but compared with the wealth and wealth on the other side, Jierharang's side is much inferior.

After more than a year, from the blue flag owner Jierharang to the blue flag scattered in the walled cities along the river, they no longer dared to take the Ming army on the other side lightly.

On the contrary, in the hearts of these people, they were always on guard against which day the Ming army on the other side would suddenly attack.

This change in mentality cannot be seen on the outside, but the impact on the morale of the military is imperceptibly playing a role.

On the same night, at the same time that Jierharang and others gathered in the blue-flaged yamen of Zhenjiang Fort to discuss matters, Mao Chenglu, who was in Andong City, a few miles on the east bank of the Yalu River opposite Zhenjiang Fort, also received the news that he had been waiting for orders!

This is a military intelligence report sent by Mao Kejin from Xianxing City, the northernmost part of Andong Town, about the mouth of the Douman River.

After receiving this military intelligence report, Mao Chenglu immediately sent someone to give an order, so that the twelve forts built along the east bank of the Yalu River would fire artillery in the direction of Zhenjiang Fort.

At the same time, he also ordered a fleet of Li Xingzhong, the main force of the Dongjiang Town Naval Division, which was docked in the south of Andong City and off the mouth of the Yalu River, to sail towards the mouth of the Yalu River.

That night, the sudden artillery bombardment of the Ming army across the river, and the large number of Ming warships that appeared at the mouth of the Yalu River in the early morning of the next day, made everyone in the blue flag yamen of Zhenjiang Fort quickly change their previous determination.

The troops with blue flags on the front line of Kuandianbao and Yongdianbao, which were originally to be sent to reinforce the north, were temporarily changed to reinforce Zhenjiang Fort, and the troops stationed in Yalu Jiangcheng (Ji'an) and Zhusheli (Linjiang) soon received orders to reinforce Varkha City.

In the next three days, the fleet of the Dongjiang Zhenshui Division led by Li Xingzhong drove along the mouth of the Yalu River to the river outside Zhenjiang Fort, and used the Franco machine guns equipped on the naval warships to bombard the east gate and east wall of Zhenjiang Fort one after another.

Zhenjiang Fort, which lacked enough artillery, could only use the tiger squat cannon, the general cannon and other artillery of various sizes and ranges captured from the Ming army's fortresses, as well as trebuchets, to reluctantly return fire from the city.

Three days later, the east gate of Zhenjiang Fort was destroyed, and the wall of the city wall along the river to the east of Zhenjiang Fort was also smashed.

However, since the surface of the Yalu River had begun to freeze gradually in the middle of November, Li Xingzhong finally led the fleet to withdraw from the mouth of the Yalu River at noon on 4 November after commanding warships to shell Zhenjiang Fort for several days.

Jierharang, who was temporarily relieved, sent people to repair the city, and at the same time concentrated a large number of troops to set up camps along the coast, waiting for the Ming army in Andong City on the other side to attack.

However, before the Ming army of Andong City under Mao Chenglu crossed the river to fight, he first waited for another earth-shattering news:

"More than 3,000 cavalry of the Ming army in Changzhou City still have a good army, stepping on the ice from the upper reaches of the Yalu River, rushing past the interception of the three Niulu garrisons with blue flags in Yongdian Fort, and are rapidly advancing westward!"
