In the General Army's Mansion, the atmosphere was unusually solemn, the scouts had reported several times, Hong Chengchou looked at the map, motionless, his heart was like a knife, Su Tiancheng reminded him that it was necessary to stop Chen Xinjia's rash advance, and it was best to take it step by step, but he was not able to argue with reason, and now misfortune may have appeared.

The scouts came to report that a large number of Houjin Tartars, estimated to be more than 100,000 people, bypassed the Black Mountain City and rushed directly towards Dalinghe City.

At this time, Hong Chengchou finally knew that the army led by Chen Xinjia could easily take Montenegro, take Yizhou, and pounce directly towards Guangning, if the main force of the Houjin Tartars appeared in the area of Montenegro, this fight would not hurt the muscles and bones, and the border army retreated to Dalinghe City and defended the city, and the Houjin Tartars were helpless, but the army had already arrived in Guangning, and it was not so easy to think of retreating, and now, after 100,000 Golden Tartars came to attack Dalinghe City, This is obviously the plan of the Houjin Emperor Taiji who has already set up the Lu, it seems that this time the Houjin is really pouring out of the nest, on the one hand, to exterminate the 100,000 border troops, block the retreat of the army, and on the other hand, to take Dalinghe City and capture the Guanningjin defense line, the appetite is really not small.

Hong Chengchou didn't dare to imagine that if it weren't for Su Tiancheng going to the capital to fight for reason, so that the elite Jiangning battalion soldiers in Liaodong could hold Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, and if he saw such a situation, then the Guanningjin defense line would be really dangerous, and the Beijing division would also be in danger.

Hong Chengchou finally turned around, and the officers of more than 1,000 households in the Jiangning battalion were all concentrated here.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after 100,000 years, the Golden Tartars have come to attack Dalinghe City. Are you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid."

"Okay, the Jiangning camp was brought out by Lord Su, and it has established great military exploits, we never know what it is like to fail in the Dao, hmph, no matter how many Houjin Tartars come to attack the city. I can tell you that the reason why the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion are stationed in Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City is directly requested by Lord Su, and Lord Su knows that only our Jiangning battalion can guard Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City, and even the Guanning Jinfeng Defense Line, and I can tell you. Although Lord Su is far away in Dengzhou, he will never stand idly by, so there are soldiers of our Jiangning battalion in Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, and Houjin Tartar will take a step forward to rest. ”、

Dolgon received the order to go out on the 17th of May, and he left only 5,000 men to garrison the fort of Siping. The rest of the 95,000 sergeants all followed the expedition. Huang Taiji's deployment, he is very clear, abandon the border army of Montenegro City and Yizhou, ignore it, and directly kill Dalinghe City, the best situation is to directly take Dalinghe City. The army led by Huang Taiji, after the victory, will also directly kill Dalinghe City, and when the time comes, the army will converge. In one fell swoop, break through the Ming Dynasty's Guanningjin defense line, and the next step is to attack the Ming Dynasty's Jingshi.

This is an ambitious battle plan, and Dolgon is a very crucial part of it.

Dolgon believed that it was only a matter of time before Huang Taiji led the army and annihilated the Ming border army.

The speed of the army was very fast, through Montenegro, when it arrived at the city of Montenegro, the border army stationed in the city of Montenegro did not dare to come out to meet the enemy, look at the strength of the army, they did not dare to move, some people suggested, is it not to take Montenegro in one fell swoop, exterminate the garrison of the Ming border army, was severely reprimanded by Dolgon.

The information obtained by the Great Qing Kingdom, stationed in Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, is also a border army, and the number is not very large, as for the most courageous Jiangning battalion in the Ming Dynasty, it is said that it is stationed in Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, such a good opportunity, can never be lost, take Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, Dolgon also thought, will meet the Jiangning battalion that Huang Taiji has always praised.

On May 18, the army was only more than 50 miles away from Dalinghe City, and it was getting late, so Dolgon asked to set up camp, at this time, there was no need to be too anxious, let the soldiers rest for one night, and attack Dalinghe City tomorrow.

Dolgon, who was full of self-confidence, did not even ask to choose a place to camp in Japan, in his opinion, one day was enough time to take Dalinghe City, and the border troops stationed in Dalinghe City could only be beaten passively, and they did not dare to go out of the city at all, of course, the army might pay heavy losses, which was also cost-effective.

Dolgon participated in the battle of Dalinghe in Chongzhen's four years, and it took a few months to take Dalinghe City that time, but that time, Huang Taiji used the tactics of besieging the city to send reinforcements, besieging Dalinghe City, and exterminating the Ming army that came to reinforce it.

The timing is such a coincidence, the battle between Quang Ninh and Dalinghe City began on May 19, but the situation on both sides is not the same.

May 19, Mao Shi.

Hong Chengchou stood on the city wall, holding a telescope, the black pressure of the Houjin Tartar came in the direction of Dalinghe City, at this time, Hong Chengchou's body was also trembling slightly, he was not afraid of the large number of Houjin Tartars, but thought of the border army far away in Guangning, at this time, I don't know what kind of situation happened to Lu Dao, if he also encountered 100,000 Houjin Tartars, wouldn't he have suffered a catastrophe.

The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, guarding the city wall, their faces are serene, after many battles, there is no fear of the soldiers, they have fought with the Houjin Tartars, and they don't believe in the invincible nonsense of the Houjin Tartars at all.

Soon, Houjin Tatar stopped at a distance of five miles from Dalinghe City.

It may be that the Houjin Tartars were afraid of the Ming artillery, so they stopped from afar.

Dolgon was also observing, he felt a little strange, according to the army came to Dalinghe City, the Ming border army should be panicked, when the army passed through the city of Montenegro, he could feel that the border troops waiting in the city of Montenegro were all afraid, and the sergeant who saw it through the telescope turned pale, and his eyes revealed horror.

But when I saw Dalinghe City, it was very quiet, and the silence was a little weird.

Dolgon, who has fought and fought all his life, will not think that this is a good situation, the more so, it shows that the Ming army stationed in the city did not panic at all, and had the belief that he would win.

The time of the siege is determined in the hour.

The army was already starting to get busy, the artillery was pushed over, the sergeants carried the ladders and began to prepare, and the archers were even more concentrated, and when the time came, they would use the rain of arrows to let the soldiers defending the city taste the power of bows and arrows.

It was three quarters of an hour, and there was still a quarter of an hour before the siege.

Before the war, Dolgon was very relaxed, nearly 100,000 troops, all the way from Xiping Fort to Dalinghe City, did not encounter any resistance and obstruction along the way, which also made Dolgon begin to despise Chen Xinjia, serving as the governor of Liaodong for so long, don't you understand, Liaodong has always been a place where soldiers fight, thinking that if you capture Montenegro and Yizhou, everything will be worry-free, and you can boldly venture forward, this is not looking for death.

Suddenly, a cannon rang out, Dolgon was taken aback, quickly stood up, walked out of the Chinese military tent, held a telescope, and looked towards Dalinghe City, he saw a huge banner, rising from the battlements of the city wall, on the flag, three big characters with golden light, Jiangning Battalion.

Dolgon's face changed a little, what is the situation, could it be that the Jiangning battalion is stationed in Dalinghe City.

At this moment, Dolgon suddenly thought of one thing, which was what Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng and others were worried about, that is, Su Tiancheng who was far away in Dengzhou, Su Tiancheng was the Liao Governor of Ji after all, it was impossible not to care about the occupation of Liaodong, if Su Tiancheng suddenly intervened, who knew what would happen to Lu Dao.

Dolgon's face was very bad, he finally met the Jiangning battalion, the Qing Kingdom and the Jiangning battalion fought several times, none of them took advantage, each time was a fiasco, Chongde lost 30,000 elite soldiers in the first year, after the Jiangning battalion came to Liaodong, Dalinghe City was captured, Yue Tuo was captured, and the 30,000 soldiers stationed in Dalinghe City were all exterminated, these achievements could not be boasted, really, this also shows that the Jiangning battalion is not so easy to defeat.

Dolgon finally knew why Dalinghe City was so quiet, without a trace of restlessness, this is combat effectiveness, even in the face of thousands of troops, I will not move, he feels that this attack may not be able to take Dalinghe City, I am afraid that it will pay a heavy loss.

But the army has already arrived, and it is impossible not to attack.

Hong Chengchou looked at Houjin Tartar and told the officers beside him.

"Houjin Tartar is about to attack the city, tell all the brothers, get ready, are the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion ready?"

"My lord, the soldiers of the two thousand Xiao cavalry battalions are all ready, but my subordinates think that my lord should not personally get into danger, and it is still the soldiers of the Xiao cavalry battalion who are led by my subordinates, so let's kill the enemy impulsively."

Hong Chengchou shook his head.

"This time, I personally led the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to charge, and you are responsible for commanding, especially the artillery must be prepared and the timing accurate, otherwise it will be dangerous to kill the brothers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion who rushed out."

"My lord, my subordinates understand."

Hong Chengchou looked at the dense Houjin Tartars, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, he suddenly thought, what would Qu Qingze come to Liaodong in person, and Su Tiancheng would rush to the capital in person, all this, is it just for the stability of Guanning Jinfa's defense line, is there no other arrangement, follow Su Tiancheng for so many years, Hong Chengchou knows very well that when he sees such a moment, Su Tiancheng will never stand by, there must be a big move, the battle of Zhongdu that year wiped out so many rogues, Isn't it also Su Tiancheng's unexpected arrangement.
