Zhu Qing used Chen Yuanyuan's palace guarding paper and Liu Zongmin's head to temporarily stabilize Wu Sangui, who was bent on "Qingjun's side". The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info urged Zu Dashou to send troops to Ningyuan in the name of supervising the army.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, after being full of wine and food, Zu Dashou had to send troops to Ningyuan under the persuasion of Wu Sangui and the supervision of Zhu Qing, Zu Dashou personally led an army of 50,000 to open the way, and Zhu Qing followed closely with a vanguard battalion of 3,000. Two teams galloped to help Ningyuan.

At this time in Ningyuan, the three city gates were broken, and the soldiers such as Dolgon and Duoduo poured into Ningyuan City by separate routes, and Cheng Li, Tiemian, Lin Bai and others, who had a huge disparity in strength, could only retreat to the last line of defense, the west gate of Ningyuan.

The battle was extremely hard, but fortunately, Ning Yuan's guard general was the most able to endure hardships and fight tough battles, and it was not easy to fight ten times the division with 100,000 elites, and it was not easy to hold out for so long. If it were someone else, I am afraid that they would have abandoned the city and fled or surrendered. But these young generals who followed Zhu Qing in the battle were still making the final struggle.

"Let the soldiers shake their teeth and hold on, and General Qinglong's reinforcements will arrive soon." It's the best news they've heard in the past few days.

Indeed, the hero and spiritual pillar in their hearts, their generals and eldest brothers, were on their way to Ningyuan at this time. Under Zhu Qing's supervision, Zu Dashou did not dare to slack off at all, and the marching speed of his 50,000 army had improved a lot compared to when he left the customs.

When night fell, the reinforcements had already entered the boundary of Ningyuan, and Ningyuan was still fighting at this time, and the war made it impossible for this kind of city to sleep.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, you can see Ningyuan City blazing into the sky. No one knows what happened to the 100,000 troops who were stationed here. But judging by the momentum and the fire, it seems that the defenders are facing a difficult situation.

"General, it has been observed that the three gates of Ningyuan City have been broken!" An adjutant general said to Zhu Qing and Zu Dashou.

Zhu Qing was observing outside the city with clairvoyance, and there was no expression on his face, which meant that Ning Yuancheng was facing a real crisis.

"Qinglong, what should I do now? To fight or not to fight? Zu Dashou asked.

"Hit!" Zhu Qing said coldly, there are his soldiers and brothers in Ningyuan City, where the west gate is locked, and Zhu Qing can't leave them alone, although as soon as the city gate is opened, there is a danger that the city will be broken.

"If you block the west gate with a boulder, you may be able to hold out for a few days." Zu Dashou replied, obviously he didn't want to fight, for him, there was no need to rescue the Ming army in the city, and opening the city gate would only make it easier for the Qing army to break through.

"There is still hope for fighting, if you don't fight, not only will you be sorry for the Ming brothers, but it will chill the hearts of the soldiers, and these days will not mean much to the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Qing responded.

"It only takes a few days, and a million troops in the customs can get out of the customs, why is it meaningless?!" Zu Dashou argued.

"The army will leave the customs, it won't take a few days, and it will arrive the day after tomorrow!" Zhu Qing was very sure about the Kaifeng reinforcements, "And we broke into the West Gate, aided the Ningyuan defenders, and confronted the enemy army, which is far longer than seeing death and not saving it!" "Zhu Qing is very confident. As he spoke, he pulled out his sword and shouted to the guards outside the town, "The guards outside the town listen to the order and immediately organize the vanguard battalion to march to Ningyuan City!" ”

"Order!" The guards outside the town responded and soon organized the 3,000 pioneer battalion.

"General Zu, the pioneer battalion will knock on the door first, and you will do it." Zhu Qing said to Zu Dashou, and without waiting for him to answer, he raised his sword high and shouted, "Pioneer battalion, go!" ”

The 3,000 pioneer battalion galloped towards the West Gate!

"Report! Checkmate! Simon has reinforcements! Cheng Li, who was commanding the enemy on the front line, suddenly heard the city guards coming to report.

"Which way? Do you see clearly? Cheng Li asked loudly, and as he spoke, he cut down two more tartars.

"It was too dark to see clearly, but the leader carried a box on his back and rode a tall horse, which was very powerful."

"It's big brother!" As soon as Lin Bai heard it, he excitedly said to Cheng Li!

"Except for General Qinglong, I'm afraid no one has the courage to do this." Tie Mian also said coldly.

"Go, open the gates, and welcome reinforcements in!" Cheng Li ordered, he wanted to meet him in person, but the battle was tight, and he couldn't get out.

"Yes!" The guards took the order and left.

Before the guards outside the town could shout, the west gate had slowly opened!

"Into town!" Zhu Qing shouted, and the three thousand vanguard battalions poured into the west gate, "How is the battle ahead?" After entering the city, Zhu Qing asked about the city guards.

"General Qiyu, the enemy has broken through, the three major gates in the southeast, north and south, and now they are approaching the Ningyuan River, General Cheng Li is organizing the soldiers to defend the Ningyuan River, several strongholds have been broken, and our army is fighting with the enemy."

When Zhu Qing heard this, he didn't have time to rest for a moment, and immediately shouted, "The soldiers of the vanguard battalion listened to the order, and the white-bladed team took the lead, and quickly rushed to the Ningyuan River to assist General Cheng and them to clear the enemy across the river. Be sure to pinn down the enemy on the opposite shore and give the defenders a breather! ”

"Order!"

"Attack!" As soon as Zhu Qing waved his sword, he took the lead and rode a wind-chasing horse to charge! Three thousand soldiers followed closely and rushed forward to kill!

At this time, outside the West Gate City, Zu Dashou's 50,000 troops were still hesitating.

"General, shall we enter or not?" An adjutant general asked Zu Dashou!

Zu Dashou pondered for a moment, looking at the noise and fire in the city, he still gritted his teeth and waved his hand, "Fight!" With that, he led an army of 50,000 into the west gate, and the army did not stop, but rushed directly to the front.

"Brother Li, be careful!" On the edge of the Ningyuan River, Lin Bai, who was struggling to kill the enemy, suddenly shouted at Cheng Li, but obviously, this sound did not play any role in the chaotic army, and a cold light was stabbing towards Cheng Li's back, and Lin Bai, who was besieged by three Qing troops, could only watch and couldn't get out of the slightest.

Seeing that Ning Yuan's guard was about to be injured by the dark sword, he only heard the neighing of a war horse, and the chasing horse crossed a trench in front of him and ran towards Cheng Li.

With a "boom", the wind chasing horse instantly knocked the Qing soldier who sneaked into Cheng Li and flew away! Zhu Qing jumped off his horse and waved his hand with a knife, and the man was killed instantly!

"Big brother?!" Lin Bai, who was worried about Cheng Li, was shocked by the scene in front of him, and he shouted in surprise!

This sound made the beleaguered defenders see hope in an instant!

Cheng Li looked back and shouted excitedly, "General! You're finally here! ”

Tie Mian, who was defending another stronghold not far away, also looked over to this side, his cold face was splashed with the blood of the enemy, and when he saw Zhu Qing coming to help, his cold face grinned, and he turned his head to continue fighting!

"Brothers, General Qinglong has come to help us with reinforcements!" Lin Bai shouted excitedly, this sound made Ning Yuanhe's side boil!

"Brothers! Kill! Zhu Qing didn't talk any more nonsense, and as soon as he gave the order, he led the crowd to kill the enemy. Under the encouragement of Zhu Qing, the defenders fought hard, and the pioneer battalion brought by Zhu Qing was more physically strong, and of course they were more energetic. In a short time, the Qing army that had crossed the river was almost wiped out, and the Qing army that had not yet crossed the river was also afraid, so they had to temporarily retreat to the shore.

"Guns and archers!" Seeing that the enemy had already separated, Zhu Qing shouted at the fire gun team and the archers, and the two teams of archers formed a formation on the river bank and fired towards the opposite bank! Ammunition and bows and arrows were fired alternately, and the Qing troops at the bridgehead were quickly pressed back.

The scattered defenders of Cheng Li were able to reorganize their remnants and reorganize the attack!

"Prince! The firepower of the Ming army suddenly became fierce, and our army had to withdraw from the bridge deck! "A soldier ran to report to Dolgon!

Dorgon, who had been sitting in the camp, was shocked when he heard this!

"Why?" Dolgon, who originally defeated the Ningyuan defenders and retreated, thought that he would be able to take the entire Ningyuan City tonight, but he didn't expect the battle to suddenly change!

"It looks like the enemy has a batch of reinforcements!"

"Impossible! Wu Sangui has withdrawn from Ningyuan, and it is impossible for the Ming army to have any more reinforcements, and even if there is, it is impossible to arrive so quickly! Dorgon couldn't believe it, he said!

"Prince, let the last general go and find out what the situation is!" Dodor pleased.

Dorgon hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Go and go back quickly, this king wants to see who did it!" ”

Duoduo clenched his fists and walked away. At this time, the Qing army was really suppressed by the fire of the Ming army on the other side, retreated to the bridgehead, Duoduo, rushed to the front line, took out a clairvoyant look, he quickly searched back and forth several times in the opposite bank of the black pressure, only to find a white horse from the chaotic position! When he saw a person standing beside the white horse, he was shocked!

"Qinglong?!" Duoduo exclaimed to himself. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the other side, and a large wave of people suddenly poured out behind the Ming army! Moreover, there was a steady stream of people coming up from behind, and in the night, the Ming army was black and pressed, and it was impossible to distinguish between fiction and reality.

Duoduo didn't know that the reinforcements were Zu Dashou's 50,000 troops, thinking that they were all Zhu Qing's subordinates, so he didn't dare to be careless and hurriedly returned to the military tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, Duoduo panicked and said, "Prince, it's not good, Qinglong...... Qinglong led the army to support Ning Yuan! ”

"What?!" Dolgon was shocked, "Can you see clearly?" It's really a green dragon?! ”

"It should be him, a white horse mount, carrying a large box on his back and holding an embroidered spring knife! Moreover, the last general observed that there were no less than hundreds of thousands of black pressure on the other side, and our army had been suppressed at the bridgehead by the Ming army's firearms and bows and arrows, and did not dare to cross the bridge easily! Duoduo said.

After hearing this, Dolgon nodded slowly, and he said unconvinced, "In this way, there is no doubt that it must be the green dragon, except for the green dragon, everyone can block the king's iron horse!" ”

"Prince! Do you want the last general to lead the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry to rush and kill for a while?! Dodor asked.

When Dolgon heard this, he immediately raised his hand to stop it, he shook his head and said, "Qinglong is not an ordinary person, don't act rashly!" Besides, the night is getting deeper, don't discern the enemy's situation, don't rush to kill, so as not to fall into the enemy's trap! ”

"Yes!" Dodor replied, and after a pause, he asked, "And what next?!" ”

Dorgon paced a few steps inside the tent, pondering for a long time before making a decision, "Stop Mingjin for the time being!" You personally pick a few reliable warriors to go and find out how many reinforcements the Blue Dragon has brought. Let's discuss countermeasures after finding out the enemy's situation! ”

"Yes!" Dordort took the command and departed. After a while, Ning Yuanshou suddenly heard that Ming Jin on the other side had withdrawn his troops! All the soldiers cheered.

This cheer suddenly resounded in the night sky of Ningyuan, and when Dolgon heard it, he couldn't help but gasp in his heart, "It's good that you didn't rush to send troops, otherwise there would be no return!" ”

After inciting the whole army to chant to deceive the enemy, Zhu Qing quickly summoned the defenders of Ningyuan and the generals of the reinforcements, he must have a good understanding of the situation in Ningyuan in order to take countermeasures!

"Of my 100,000 defenders, there are less than 60,000 left. The end will be incompetent! Cheng Li automatically pleaded guilty.

"General Yu, General Cheng is ready to deal with it, it is really a huge disparity between the enemy and our forces, under the leadership of General Cheng, although the three gates of Ningyuan City have been broken and tens of thousands of soldiers have been lost, but it has also frustrated as many as 100,000 enemy troops. had to retreat to the West Gate, General Cheng was already planning to live and die with Ning Yuan! Tie Mian rarely speaks, but at this moment, he came forward to speak for Cheng Li. It can be seen that Cheng Li is a very good general.

"That's it, General, if you want to punish General Cheng, even Lin Bai will punish him together!" Lin Bai also came out to speak for Cheng Li.

"Me ...... too"

"We are ...... too"

A cadre of lieutenants of the defenders also stepped forward.

When Zhu Qing saw it, he smiled slightly, "Are you trying to force the palace?" I share the pain of losing tens of thousands of soldiers, but this is war. To be honest, it is not easy for you to survive until this time, and it is not easy for you to survive this situation, and if it were me Zhu Qing, I might not be able to do it. Get up! Now is not the time to settle accounts, we should think carefully about how to break the enemy! ”

"Yes, General!" When Cheng Li and the others heard this, their hearts were relieved, they smiled on their faces, and they stood up one after another.

The generals spent the night in the city discussing strategies to meet the enemy. However, Zu Dashou, who has an army of 50,000 in his hands, seems to be absent-minded. Zhu Qing, who chatted with Cheng Li and others, did not care about Zu Dashou's small solution in the midfield, which led to a fatal loophole in their plans and countermeasures. Because Zu Dashou's departure was not a small relief, but he went to meet a man in black, who was Duoduo!
