The big battle was imminent, but Ning Yuan's soldiers were sleeping on the battlefield. This seems to be rare in the history of warfare. The reason why Zhu Qing dared to do this was because of his magical intelligence system, Jinyiwei.

The Jinyiwei system makes his intelligence sources on the battlefield more rapid, in-depth, and reliable than ordinary war intelligence. And not passive. And at the scene, in addition to Zhu Qing's personal military plan, there are also night owls like Sai Shiqian and Xuanwu guarding them, which are reliable! So he was relieved to let the soldiers sleep well and brake quietly.

Everything was arranged, Zhu Qing left Ning Yuan's front door and walked towards the back door. Because of the earlier war, the people of Ningyuan City have left Ningyuan one after another and entered the customs. At this time, Ningyuan City was nothing more than an empty city, but for both sides of the war, it had strategic significance that could not be underestimated.

The Qing army took Ningyuan, you took another step into the Central Plains, as soon as Ningyuan was broken, Shanhaiguan was in danger, and the Qing army could also control the economic and trade exchanges between the Central Plains and the northern grassland peoples.

The Ming army holding Ningyuan can stop the Qing army from entering the customs, prevent the loss of national territory, damage to national prestige, and foreign invasion, such a national defense strategy is self-evident.

But it was such a critical battle, Zhu Qing was not on the scene, not on the front line, but returned to the rear. Could it be that the famous green dragon is afraid of death?

Of course not. Zhu Qing walked to the back to prevent a fire in the backyard.

The last time Ningyuan fought in the first battle, although the Ming army repelled the Qing army, Zhu Qing had already investigated and dealt with it, and Wu Sangui was suspected of collaborating with the Qing army, just because Chongzhen still wanted to rely on Wu Sangui, and the two sides had not yet made it clear. Because the dog is in a hurry, he will jump off the wall, forcing Wu Sangui to be anxious, and it is difficult to ensure that Shanhaiguan will not have an accident. This is not Chongzhen, nor is it what Zhu Qing wants to see.

However, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. Zhu Qing rushed to the rear, just to prevent Wu Sangui from defecting! Encircling Ningyuan with the Qing army, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhu Qing rode a wind-chasing horse and walked through the streets and alleys overnight, and soon came to the back door of Ningyuan. At this time, the direction of Shanhaiguan seemed to be silent, but in fact, Wu Sangui had quietly sent troops to Ningyuan.

"Goo!" Zhu Qing learned a bird call. Suddenly, dozens of black-clothed men gathered from all corners of the city gate.

"Big brother?"

"Is there any movement?" Zhu Qing asked, these dozens of black-clothed people were the thirty elite henchmen he brought back from Kaifeng.

"The spies just came to report, and Wu Sangui is really going to act. At least 10,000 troops have already left the customs and are making a detour towards Ningyuan. ”

He still couldn't sit still, it seemed that they were secretly colluding and making Ning Yuan dumplings first. We must stop this from happening.

"Yes! But there are only about 30 of us here, and Wu Sangui has 10,000 people, will Ning Yuan still come to help us? ”

"Dolgon brought 60,000 troops over, and the Ningyuan defenders only had more than 10,000 people, it would be good if they could protect themselves, do you think there will be reinforcements?" Zhu Qing asked rhetorically. Dozens of people looked at each other at this question.

"No matter what, as long as you point to the big brother, we will go wherever we are!"

"That's right! Everything is up to Big Brother. ”

"Yes to ......"

……

"Okay, we are not outlaws, we are Jinyi Guards, each of you has the ability to be one as ten, but this is not our desperate capital, I now order, there are more than thirty people here, you must protect yourself, because you are Ning Yuan's defensive shield! Did you hear it all? Zhu Qing raised his voice very high.

"Hear me!" Dozens of people shouted in unison.

"But big brother, just a few dozen of us, even if we can fight, it will be difficult to resist Wu Sangui's 10,000 army." One said.

"That's right. So we can't fight as hard as we normally would, we have to find reinforcements. Zhu Qing said.

"Reinforcements? Didn't you say that there could be no reinforcements in the city? ”

"If there is no one in the city, we will look for one outside the city." Zhu Qing said, the corner of his mouth smiled slightly, and he had a plan in his heart.

"Out of town? Outside the city are vast snowfields, where can I find reinforcements? ”

"Hmph, just come with me." Zhu Qing said, smiled secretly, stepped on the horse, and "drive"! Running in the direction of Shanhaiguan.

"This ......? Big brother, he ......" One person was stunned in place, puzzled.

"Let's go. Just follow the big brother. ”

"Drive, drive!"

Thirty horses became restless and followed Zhu Qing.

Just when Zhu Qing led thirty brocade clothes to block Wu Sangui's 10,000 army, Dolgon led 60,000 soldiers and horses to Ningyuan non-stop.

At this time, it was already the second watch, and on the snowfield in the distance, a person was hurrying towards Ning Yuan, who was Ning Yuan's herald.

"Drive, drive!" After a series of quick whips, the herald entered Ning Yuan's territory, and he quickly and skillfully turned over and dismounted without waiting for the war horse to completely stop, "Huh! Before the voice fell, the toes hit the ground. Because the two people stood in front of him, they were the Liangshang Gentleman Sai Shiqian and the Hidden Xuanwu, and the two of them were generally active at night, just patrolling the position.

"Report to the general, the Tartars have passed the Heishui Pass, and they can reach Ningyuan in one hour at the slatest." As soon as the herald dismounted, he saluted and reported the salute.

"Hmm. It seems that Dorgon is in a hurry to swallow Ning Yuan's meat. Sai Shiqian nodded in response, "Keep exploring!" There is a case for quick return! ”

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the herald mounted and left, and the mature intelligence system of Jinyiwei provided the most valuable intelligence support for the army. This made the Ming army more handy.

"It's time to get up." Xuanwu said quietly.

"That's right. Pass the order! Wake up all the soldiers on the battlefield! "During the game, he moved a little and beckoned two guards to come and command.

"Yes!"

"Wait, remember, don't make a big noise, but make sure everyone is awake and word of mouth!" Xuanwu added.

"Understood!"

"Let's go, let's go and prepare, Heishui Pass is not far from here." Sai Shiqian said, turning and walking back.

When the two of them passed by the first direction, the two blocking points on the first line of defense were ready, if it weren't for Lin Bai and Cheng Li taking the initiative to greet them, these two strongholds would really not be easy to find in this snowy night.

"Hey? Woohoo. Lin Bai whistled softly twice. Xuanwu and Sai Shiqian found that the two of them were squatting in the stronghold on the left and right, each carrying a Tiangang Five Thunder in their hands. Ready to go.

"Hmph." During the game, Qian smiled at Lin Bai and shook his head.

"Hey, where's the Tartar?" Cheng Li asked.

"It's over the Blackwater." Race time to respond. Cheng Li nodded.

"Let them come, grandpa, I have been waiting for a long time, if he Dolgon dares to come, grandpa, I will dare to greet him!" Lin Bai said arrogantly, holding the Tiangang Five Thunder in his hand, and his face was also pretending to be a lot.

"Hmph, don't forget the general's words, I don't want to collect your corpse for you." Xuanwu sneered.

"Hey, that can't be, just say this to you, and Lao Tzu will walk back to show you unscathed." Lin Bai said stubbornly.

"Alright, be quiet, you can continue to squat, we should also go and prepare." Sai Shiqian said that the two crossed the first line of defense and continued to walk back. As he walked, Xuanwu suddenly pulled the race and moved, "Be careful." ”

Sai Shiqian was taken aback and looked down, "My good man, the general's trick is amazing, and he almost got into his own people." Sai Shiqian exclaimed. On the ground, a barbed wire fence spanned the middle of the road, but it was inadvertently spotted.

"This is for you archers to hunt." Xuanwu smiled slightly.

Sai Shiqian shook his head, if you want to talk about archery, except for the general, I'm afraid no one is your opponent of Xuanwu, why don't you let the general lead the archers? ”

"Because I prefer knives." Xuanwu said, carefully bypassing the barbed wire, "Let's go, be careful yourself." ”

"You too, see you in the city." Sai Shiqian shook his head and smiled, saying goodbye to Xuanwu, he was already in the territory ambushed by the archers.

"How? Are they all up? "During the race, there were already 3,000 archers in ambush in the jungle on both sides of the road, and they only had to wait for Cheng Li and Lin Bai on the first line of defense to disrupt the attacking enemy, and they had no time to take care of the barbed wire, and then take advantage of the entanglement of the barbed wire to block the attack in order to increase the effective shooting rate.

"Report to the general, all awake. The soldiers are ready. This awakening has been a lot of energy. The strength of the wine has not completely dissipated, and it does not feel cold. ”

"Hmph, that's the general's plan. The order went down, and the archers on both sides were on standby, and as soon as I shot the first arrow, both sides would shoot together, and they all beckoned me to go up. Sai Shiqian said.

"Understood."

Boom Boom!

Approaching the third watch, there was a rumbling sound of carriages and horses not far away, and Dolgon finally arrived.
