Less than a day after Shao Xiangyong's report, a horse came from the settlement to guard Bao Bing's request for help. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the document, after crossing the river, the Houjin army roared past Huyukou, Gaoshan Acropolis, and Baitenburg without stopping.

The officers and soldiers in Huyukou, Gaoshan Weizhucheng, Baidenbao and other places all changed their faces when they heard this, and they were terrified, and they felt unstable when they saw Houjin and the Mongolian cavalry passing outside the city, not to mention that they would go out of the city to resist the enemy.

After the Later Jin and Mongol coalition forces arrived outside the settlement, they actually garrisoned and camped, changing the previous rapid situation, but instead built siege equipment in the wooden forest outside the city, and surrounded the settlement city as a force.

Originally, there were only a few hundred garrison officers and soldiers in the settlement city, but after Bao Bing received Xiao Yi's martial law document, on the one hand, he strictly enforced it, and on the other hand, actively recruited people to help defend the city in the villages and forts around the settlement and in the city.

Opening the armory that had been sealed for many years, although those armors were tattered, they were far better than nothing, and after they were issued to Minyong, they became three thousand smaller.

But Bao Bing also knows that Houjin is menacing this time, and it is naturally difficult to stop Houjin with this alone, and he still knows.

The settlement city is the feudal screen north of Datong Town, if the settlement city is lost, not to mention that he Bao Bing will lose his head, even the chief soldier Xiao will not have any good fruit to eat.

After the loss of the settlement city, the town of Datong will also face the looting of the Tartars, and Xiao Yi did in the town of Datong to divide the land equally, so Bao Bing sent a fast horse to the town to ask for help.

After receiving the request for help, Xiao also attached great importance to it, and immediately convened the generals of the ninth battalion of the Yongan Army to discuss the matter, and the generals gathered together to express their opinions, but they were also different, and it was difficult to come up with a charter for a while.

Xiao Yi listened to everyone's opinions, and on the other hand, he was constantly thinking.

encountered the Houjin Sentinel so quickly, which Xiao Yi had never expected, and it seemed that he still underestimated Dorgon.

If it was just Azig as the commander, Xiao would naturally not have this worry, and it would be impossible to set up a sentinel with Azig's arrogant character.

The Ming army's flight from the wind often gave those Later Jin people a kind of deformed self-confidence, believing that as long as they were together, it was enough to scare the weak Han people, and as long as they rushed closer, the Ming army would be defeated.

In fact, before the Yong'an army, all the battles of the Later Jin Mongol coalition army were really like this, and in the long run, even the Mongolian herdsmen who had returned to them became brave.

I knew that the Han people were so timid and afraid, and their Mongol warriors should really enter the customs and plunder, and if they could gain a future, it would be a lot of benefits.

The Yong'an Army is divided into large, medium and small third-class merits, which are settled every quarter, and can be promoted or retained, so as to motivate the sergeants.

Later, the Jin army called it the future, which also has an advantage, whether you are the Mongolian Eight Banners or the Han Army Eight Banners, it is the same as the Jurchen cavalry.

It only takes twelve prospects to go from a small person to a first-class merit, and even if you get half a career, you can also be awarded the title of Tuosha Lahafan, and the cloud cavalry captain of the Ming Dynasty is at the same level.

However, no matter how much Huang Taiji valued the Han people, in the Later Jin Dynasty, people were still divided into three, six, nine and so on by ethnicity, and the first class was naturally the Jurchen.

The second class consisted of the Mongols who had attached, and the Mongols were divided into many classes, the highest being the large tribes such as the Kolling, and then the smaller tribes.

The third and last class, regarded as the same as pigs and sheep, is naturally the Han people, and the Han people are divided into Han Eight Banners, Han Min, Aha and so on.

For these Mongols, they only need to get half of the future, and they can get rid of the fate of the lowest class when they get that worldly position, although the treatment with the Jurchen worldly position is still somewhat different, but it is enough for them to covet it.

Dolgon's usual act of spreading sentry sentries was cut in the eyes of the general Azig, which was a complete provocation.

But even if Azig was dissatisfied, he would not say anything, he knew that Dolgon was trusted by the emperor, and this move was also a danger in times of peace, so he had nothing to say, only sullen and resentful.

Regarding the siege of the settlement city, Xiao also considered it again.

On that day, the generals of the Yong'an Army gathered together, and Huang Yang, as the deputy commander of the entire Yong'an Army, naturally had to give his opinion first.

"Yujunmen, this time the slaves and thieves must come to avenge the revenge of the Ling River, and it is really difficult to resist the slaves and thieves in the low pool of the settlement, if it leads to a decisive battle under the city, the thieves will be defeated by virtue of the strong city cannons."

Huang Yang's statement is a prudent approach, and if it is under normal circumstances, this should be the safest approach at present.

Liu Tong and Gu Lin then came out to express their approval, but Shi Gang and Wang Dayong came out and hugged their fists and said: "Military Gate!" We can't sit idly by and let the settlement be besieged by thieves, so what is the difference between my Yong'an Army and the rest of the official army? ”

This remark was supported by many generals, because the officers and soldiers of the imperial court were often afraid of the enemy, and if the Yong'an army defended the city and watched the thieves loot Datong, it would be called evil.

After discussing for a long time, Yang Liqing took a step forward and said: "Junmen, the last general thinks that he can go out of the city and fight with Jiannu!" ”

"Oh? Why fight? Xiao Yi immediately asked rhetorically.

Yang Liqing saw everyone's gaze, and said calmly: "Back to the military gate, the essence of my Yongan army is no better than the rest of the Ming army!" Speaking of this, Yang Liqing continued to say loudly in the lobby.

"Have you forgotten the brothers, in the Battle of Changshan, two thousand soldiers of my Yongan Army encountered tens of thousands of cavalry from Jiannu, and the military orders were like mountains, and people dared to take the lead, and thousands of them were beheaded in a battle! The last general thinks that my Yong'an Army doesn't have to be arrogant, and I can go out of the city to fight with Jiannu, and also teach the world to see if Jiannu is invincible, or my Yong'an Army can't be provoked! ”

Yang Liqing's words said that everyone in the hall is eager to try, indeed, half a year ago, when the Yong'an Army was only more than 2,000 people, they defeated Houjin in the field, and there are more than 10,000 elite soldiers at this moment, so what is there to fear!?

Speaking of this, all the generals asked for battle, Xiao Yi looked at Yang Liqing but didn't say anything, just waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

Huang Yang also nodded again and again after hearing this, and said with his fists clenched: "Junmen, if you go to war, the city will not be completely calm, so you must be on guard." ”

Everyone suddenly remembered that there was still a giant in the city that had not been dealt with, and if the whole army was exhausted, it would inevitably be worth the loss of a fire in the backyard.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi snorted coldly and said, "That Huang Yunfa has close contacts with Jiannu, thinking that his army doesn't know, and his wishful thinking is sounding!" ”

Huang Yunfa Xiao also did not move for a long time, naturally there are various reasons, and the rest of the wealthy Xiao can also move because he is lonely and lonely, and his net worth is almost in Datong, and Xiao Yi can uproot him with a crime.

But Huang Yunfa is different, not only has people in the court to help him, but the rest of the other giant businessmen in Shanxi are also very close to him, and there are semicolons everywhere, which can be said to affect the whole body.

Therefore, although Xiao Yi was well aware of Huang Yunfa's actions, he could not cope with the matter, and Xiao could not touch Huang Yunfa until there was enough evidence to constitute a crime.

However, all the generals of the Yongan Army understood that it was only a matter of time.

Shi Gang scolded: "Niang Xipi, let the grasshoppers after autumn jump vigorously first, and I will clean up sooner or later!" ”

"What Lao Shi said is exact, I have already thought about cleaning up this grasshopper!"

Wang Dayong laughed and agreed.

Huang Yunfa's stay in the town has always been a hidden danger, although he looks like he doesn't care about the world all day long.

But Xiao Yi didn't let go of it for a moment, the thousand armor-clad family members in the Huang Mansion are not vegetarians, and their combat power is higher than that of the officers and soldiers in the original town, so they always have to send people to guard against it.

Therefore, Xiao Yi immediately ordered: "Dong Yinghua, the pacification officer, will lead the people of Zhencheng and Zhenwei from now on to take over the defense of the Yongan Army." ”

Dong Yinghua, the chief commander of the town, immediately went out when he heard this, hugged his fists and said loudly: "The lower official receives the order from the army, and he will do his best to defend the town!" ”
