Dai Shan's Zhenghong Banner soldiers were ambushed, Zierharang's mood was angry and uneasy, he turned his head to look at Fan Wencheng, did not speak, the intelligence work has always been directly responsible for Fan Wencheng, from Dengzhou to attack Lushun's Jiangning battalion sergeants, a total of more than 50,000 people, of which 30,000 are in Fuzhou, 20,000 are in Xuanzhou, Duoduo is responsible for dealing with the Jiangning battalion sergeants in Fuzhou, and he and Dai Shan are responsible for dealing with the Jiangning battalion sergeants in Xuanzhou, but now the information obtained, for what Jiangning battalion suddenly has so many more sergeants, Where did these people come from, could it be that the intelligence network set up by Fan Wencheng didn't know any news at all.

Huang Taiji's arrangement is directly aimed at the 50,000 Jiangning battalion sergeants, the original plan was to use 100,000 troops to deal with the Jiangning battalion sergeants in Fuzhou first, but considering the defense emptiness of Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou, it is necessary to prevent the Jiangning battalion sergeants from taking advantage of the situation and directly attacking Gaizhou and other places, so the soldiers are divided into two routes, one of which is the main attack, all the way to contain, and then the three armies will be reconciled to jointly deal with the Jiangning battalion sergeants in Fuzhou, if the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion suddenly increase, then the arrangement of Huang Taiji will have a fatal problem, That is, the soldiers of the Great Qing Dynasty who were divided into three ways may have been divided and surrounded by the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion.

Fan Wencheng didn't have any look on his face, he was also thinking, he really didn't get any information, so far, the information collected below is still that 50,000 Jiangning battalion sergeants have been killed from Dengzhou.

Zilharan finally spoke, but in a bad tone.

"Master Fan, why is this happening, tell me what to do next."

Flesh and blood are connected, Daishan was ambushed, Zierharang's life is just as difficult, if the Zhenghong Banner soldiers really encounter the fate of annihilation, the blow to the Qing Kingdom is huge. Huang Taiji is probably also unbearable, the most critical thing, the arrangement of the three-way army will have a fatal problem, to put it mildly, this blow may affect the national capital of the Qing Dynasty.

Fan Wencheng understood what Jilharang meant.

"Lord Wang. The slave really didn't know that there was still an army in the Jiangning Battalion, and this army was not small and numerous, so it should not be the sergeant of the Jiangning Battalion stationed in Xuanzhou. ”

Fan Wencheng said so, it is not easy for Zilharang to lose his temper, after all, things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and Fan Wencheng is not a general, so it is impossible to fully grasp the intelligence. If all the whereabouts of the opponent are really clear, then it is not a fight, but a massacre.

The next question is the rescue, which is a must, but how to rescue, there is a lot to be written about.

Leading a large army directly to the rescue is the most convenient way. At present, it seems that this is the only way. But the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Xuanzhou are eyeing each other, once the army goes to the rescue, if the Jiangning battalion sets up an ambush again, resulting in heavy losses to the army, then Huang Taiji is among the three-way army. There are two complete failures.

At this time, Zierharang finally understood that the sergeant of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Xuanzhou was not in a hurry at all, and he also sent a sergeant to block the attack in the direction of Sumeru Island. This is not to stop Dai Shan, but to prevent himself from going to the rescue.

"Lord Fan, this matter will be talked about later, the army must go to the rescue of Prince Li, presumably the Jiangning camp is ready, but no matter how dangerous it is, the army will act immediately."

Fan Wencheng nodded.

"Lord Wang, the slave fully agrees, the army does not need to attack Xuanzhou, and it is the most important task to make peace with Prince Li as soon as possible."

Fan Wencheng knew the severity of the matter, if Dai Shan was captured alive, the blow to the Great Qing Kingdom and Huang Taiji would be fatal.

Zilharang no longer hesitated and walked to the front of the sand table.

The terrain on the sand table is very clear, this is the sand table made by the scouts, the area of Tieshan and Xuanzhou, Jierharang is still relatively familiar, and he fought here many years ago.

"The scout sent by Prince Li, reported that the army was ambushed in this valley, it is only more than 20 miles away from Xuanzhou, from outside Xuanzhou to the valley, at most half an hour, according to the scout's report, the Jiangning battalion blocked the sergeants of our army, ambushed in this position, here is still ten miles away from the valley, we must break through this blockade, it is possible to rescue Prince Li, after the army and Prince Li will reconcile, I don't think continue to attack Xuanzhou, detour and retreat from the direction of Zhenjiang, in addition, what happened here, I want to report to the emperor immediately, but the emperor didn't know that there was such a big problem in Ludao. ”

Fan Wencheng looked at the sand table, when it came to fighting, it was impossible for him to come up with any practical ideas, everything had to be arranged by Zilharang.

Ma Xianglin, who was stationed in the city, soon found that the Houjin Tartars who were besieging the city began to evacuate, and they were very fast.

A smile appeared on Ma Xianglin's face, and at the same time he gave an order to the officers beside him.

"Leave two thousand people to garrison the city of Xuanzhou, and the rest of the soldiers will follow me to reinforce Lord Sun, the soldiers must carry the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Furlong Machine Cannon, send scouts, and quickly inform Lord Sun, Houjin Tartar is ready to reinforce Daishan."

At the same time as Zilharang withdrew, Xuanzhou City was also busy.

The vast majority of the people in Xuanzhou City are very worried, when the army of the Houjin Tartars besieged the city, they were even prepared for the worst, Xuanzhou had fallen, they suffered from the pain of the city being breached, and they were unwilling to experience such an encounter again, relatives were killed, and women were insulted, so when the Jiangning battalion soldiers were stationed in the city, their attitude was that it was not their own business, and they looked forward to letting them go after the Houjin Tartars broke the city.

But what these people didn't expect was that the Houjin Tartars actually took the initiative to retreat, which was something that had never happened before, and the people could not know the strangeness of the road, but they simply thought that this was the Houjin Tartars were afraid of the power of the Jiangning camp and did not dare to attack the city, so the city quickly became lively, and many ordinary people came out of their homes and talked about it, and the bold ones also ran around the city wall to observe.

What the people didn't expect was that the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion stationed in the city actually took the initiative to attack the retreating Houjin Tartars.

Those who stayed in the city, of course, also had the spies of the Houjin Tartars, these spies were restless, they had their own plans, and when the siege entered the white-hot level, they would organize personnel to wreak havoc in the city, distract the attention of the defenders, and even storm the city gate when necessary, so that the city gate could be opened and the besieging soldiers rushed in. But what happened at the moment caught them off guard, and the warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom took the initiative to retreat and did not dare to attack the city, which also showed that all their organizational work was in vain, and no one dared to rebel in the city without authorization in the absence of foreign aid, which was tantamount to looking for death.

Two thousand Jiangning battalion soldiers stationed in the city, more than enough, the officials from Dengzhou, have already organized the inspection department in Xuanzhou City, using some local young people to maintain order, these young men who joined the inspection department, is absolutely to maintain the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and these soldiers are very clear, which people in the city must be focused on, the sergeants of the inspection department and the Jiangning battalion soldiers stationed in the city are united, and the strength is very strong.

When Ma Xianglin took 8,000 soldiers out of the city from the north gate, he repeatedly told the officers guarding the city to maintain the stability of Xuanzhou.

Zilharang led the army and headed towards the island of Meru as fast as possible.

Soon after departure, the scouts came to report, and the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion stationed in the city of Xuanzhou left the city, and some of the sergeants followed behind the army.

Zierharang's face was pale, under the current circumstances, it was obvious that he could not entangle with the Jiangning battalion sergeant behind him, Daishan's army was facing great danger, and there were Jiangning battalion sergeants in front of him to block, the soldiers of the red flag and the blue flag must meet and reconcile, and the two armies would be reconciled in order to be able to withdraw from Xuanzhou smoothly, otherwise there would be a danger of breaking through each of them, Huang Taiji commanded the army to fight, and always paid attention to the principle of going all the way, no matter how many roads the opponent had, first defeat one of the roads.

Ji'er Harang didn't expect that Su Tiancheng also adopted this method, leaving a large army in Xuanzhou, blocking his own troops, while freeing his hands, he wanted to annihilate Dai Shan's Zhenghong Banner, at this time, Zierharang's heart felt cold and fear, Su Tiancheng was obviously ready for a long time, Ji Lu had planned everything, not only in terms of army layout, but even in terms of intelligence, I am afraid that he was also ahead.

Zilharang gave an order, ignore the Jiangning battalion sergeant behind, the army is heading in the direction of Sumeru Island, this is the most dangerous time, there are Jiangning battalion sergeants in front to block, and Jiangning battalion sergeants are chasing behind, Daishan is still waiting for his own rescue, at such a critical time, don't fight with the Jiangning battalion sergeant, break through the blockade with the fastest speed, and make peace with Daishan's army, this is the royal road.

Of course, Zierharang's decision is correct, to say that in the Great Qing Dynasty, Zierharang is the most sober-minded general, good at analyzing the situation on the battlefield, making accurate judgments, quite a Confucian general.

Zilharang's order was quickly conveyed, the army should not fight with the Jiangning battalion sergeants, and break through the resistance of the Jiangning battalion sergeants as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Zierharang is still too naïve, he also believes in the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners from the heart, thinking that breaking through the blockade is nothing, and the sergeants of the Jiangning Battalion can't stop it, it's just that after a period of small-scale fighting, the army will be able to break through and make peace with Daishan's Zhenghongqi army.

Zilharang didn't know what to say, since Su Tiancheng had made such an arrangement, how could he let the two armies reconcile, and how could he let Jierharang easily break through the blocking position. (To be continued......)
