Liaodong.

Matsuyama Fort.

Matsuyama Fort, which has been besieged for several months, is still the same as before. On the city wall, occasionally sticking out a head, looking unscrupulously, in addition, there are all kinds of flags, some cannon muzzles, except for these, there is no one to see, as if this is an empty city, the silence is terrible, and the green smoke rising from the city tells people that the actual situation is not as quiet as it seems.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a ring of people and horses outside the city, who would have known that there was a war going on here? Obviously, it is a world where spring is coming, if it weren't for the people and horses in the outer circle of the city, perhaps, outside Songshan Fort at this time, there were already farmers cultivating and herdsmen grazing.

If you can go up to the sky above Matsuyama Fort, you can find that there are actually many people on the wall of Matsuyama Fort, and it is far from being as empty and quiet as it looks from the ground.

The soldiers in the city wall, leaning against the city wall, some basking in the sun, some chatting.

In the city, it was much more lively and busy, and where the smoke rose, the soldiers were busy cooking.

In a small school field, there are a lot of people gathered, some people onlookers, cheering for the people in the school field, in the school field, there is still a grenade competition, and the real grenade as heavy as the iron lump, one is to see who is still far away, the other is to see who is still accurate, in the school field, there are often people who throw accurate and far away, and the onlookers burst into a burst of applause.

In Songshan Fort, this activity is one of the few entertainment projects, that is, entertainment, but also a drill, but also to practice the ability to kill the enemy, there are soldiers who win the game, proudly announced by the commander, you can add food, eat meat, the crowd shouted again, the winner is full of pride, eating meat is only one aspect, but also can join the ranks of elite grenadiers, now, organized several teams of elite grenadiers, specifically to deal with the dangerous situation of future wars, is considered elite soldiers, treatment or something is better than ordinary people, There is also hope for promotion or something in the future.

Outside Matsuyama Fort.

Houjin Daying.

Huang Taiji's face was burnt and he used a clairvoyant mirror to observe Songshan Fort.

The Songshan Fort in Huang Taiji's eyes is quiet, the three-zhang high city wall looks so majestic, and the flag fluttering in the wind is so natural.

The weather was getting warmer, not as cold as it had been in the previous months, and the green had come out of the ground.

However, this spring full of vitality did not make Huang Taiji's mood any better. Huang Taiji's heart was extremely irritable and anxious.

It has been more than four months since the siege of Songshan Fort in the Ming Dynasty, but there are still no reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty coming up, and there is no sign of food shortage in the city, Huang Taiji began to wonder if he made any mistake in surrounding Songshan Fort, or rather, the Ming Dynasty emperor was particularly open, and he didn't care about the thousands of people in Songshan Fort at all, and gave up completely? Ignore Matsuyama Fort? Or did the Ming emperor have other plans?

Huang Taiji began to look at the emperor of the Opaque Dynasty more and more, such a teenage little hairy child, he was so calm, for a few months, he didn't care about Songshan Fort?

Put away the clairvoyant mirror, Huang Taiji became more and more irritable, today's observation, there is still no gain, the cooking smoke in Songshan Fort is still so thick, it is still so thick, the cooking time is still so long, there is no meaning of no rice in the pot at all. Although Huang Taiji knew that the Ming Dynasty had supplied Songshan Fort a lot, he never believed that Songshan Fort could be besieged for a few months, and there would be no change.

Huang Taiji's heart is a little bit of luck, began to be ruthlessly broken, things often develop in the worst direction, this is true, now even if it has been surrounded for more than four months, Songshan Fort still cooks rice on time every day, according to the situation of the cooking smoke, you can judge the amount of cooking rice, the number of people who eat, and then you can infer the situation in the city, Huang Taiji originally thought that even if there was more food stored in the city, after eating for more than four months, he should panic and start to limit the amount, but depending on the situation, Songshan Fort does not mean this at all, Huang Taiji's heart began to run out of the bottom, he estimated that the grain storage of Songshan Fort for half a year at most seemed to be insufficient, and the luck in his heart was broken one by one, and things have been developing in the worst direction. …,

"Is there any news of reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty?" Huang Taiji put down the clairvoyant mirror and asked Fan Wencheng beside him anxiously.

"Back to the Great Khan, there is still no news, as before, only a small group of elites are coming out, looking for trouble with my Dajin spies everywhere." Fan Wencheng replied cautiously. Now Dajin's Tanma can only operate in the narrow area of Jinzhou and Songshan, and no matter how far it goes, it will not be safe.

"Oh, is it?". Huang Taiji was even more anxious. Now he is more and more unable to understand what the Ming Dynasty is fighting this idea, in the past, as soon as they besieged the city, the Ming Dynasty must send reinforcements, even if it can be delayed for a while, but in the end it will definitely come out, but now it has been more than four months, what about the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty? Over there? I didn't even see a shadow.

In fact, it's not that I didn't see the "reinforcements" of the Ming Dynasty, a few days ago, Huang Taiji's carefully arranged trap caught a "reinforcement" of the Ming Dynasty, this "reinforcements", there are four or five thousand, all of them are elite cavalry, but Huang Taiji is overjoyed, this Ming Dynasty still can't leave the city alone, or to send capable men and horses to come to the rescue, these four or five thousand elite cavalry, if calculated according to the Ming Dynasty's family system, there should be at least forty or fifty thousand brigades, but the facts show that these four or five thousand elite cavalry, It's only these four or five thousand, after they desperately broke through, the so-called "reinforcements" of the Ming Dynasty disappeared, Huang Taiji led a large team of people to search around, but nothing was found, Jinning is still that Jinning, except for a few cities with people, other places, there are only ghosts.

Huang Taiji originally thought that he had defeated four or five thousand elite reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty and killed no less than two thousand people, but how to say this, it was also a great defeat for the Ming Dynasty. The rescue failed, what happened to the court, there should be movement, right...... didn't the Ming Dynasty find trouble with Yuan Chonghuan? Poor rescue, loss of division and soldiers, this and that are not a small crime for the Ming Dynasty, and they will step down if they don't kill their heads.

The news from the Ming Dynasty Guannei, the Ming Dynasty didn't ask about it at all, and didn't even mention it, Huang Taiji originally thought that he had hurt the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty would be in turmoil in the court because of this, and then take a faint move, and there were loopholes in the defense, but now, it is completely different from the situation he imagined.

The Ming Dynasty not only did not hold Yuan Chonghuan responsible, but also didn't even mention it, as if the two thousand elites who died were not the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, which made Huang Taiji never believe that he didn't need to be responsible for the rescue failure? This is a lost battle, don't you have to step down? Then why are you still surrounding Songshan Fort? So what are these four or five thousand "reinforcements"? In what name did the Ming Dynasty send troops? Or rather, this is not "reinforcements" at all? ”

Huang Taiji could not imagine that the Ming Dynasty would be indifferent to the fact that he would send tens of thousands of troops to besiege the city, and would be indifferent to a major battle with hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides. There must be a conspiracy in this.

Huang Taiji can't imagine that he sent thousands of elite men and horses out to fight, just the legendary spies used to deal with him, this is really ridiculous, and there is no such art of war in any family, Huang Taiji thinks that although he can't say that he has read all the books of the Han people, he dares to say that he knows some of the books of the Han people, and he has searched through all the books and has not found a precedent for sending thousands of spies out to fight the spies.

And the current facts have gradually proved that this ridiculous legend seems to be true, Yuan Chonghuan, that barbarian, is afraid that he really thinks like this, and he is afraid that he really does this, and the little hairy child emperor is afraid that he still supports Yuan Manzi in doing this.

Last time, he trapped Yuan Chonghuan's five thousand elites, although he failed to complete the work, but at least there were more than two thousand, but Yuan Chonghuan was calm for a while, followed by a more "crazy" move, with more probes to hit his spies, several times the spies reported that at least tens of thousands of horses "came to help", Huang Taiji was really happy a few times, the Ming Dynasty finally sent people, but in fact, when Huang Taiji led the men and horses to help, these "reinforcements" retreated, and there was no intention of fighting, and asked the results, As the ridiculous legend goes, the result of the battle was that the Ming Dynasty killed dozens of horses that they rode dozens of horses. …,

Huang Taiji couldn't imagine that tens of thousands of horses were dispatched to spy on them, and the brains of the people of the Ming Dynasty were broken? Huang Taiji couldn't imagine that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would agree to such a ridiculous way of playing, but this is the case, and now the situation has confirmed the ridiculous legend more and more, Yuan Chonghuan never intended to really save Songshan Fort, the real purpose was just to beat his Dajin spies.

Huang Taiji, who originally didn't believe that this was true, has now become more and more convinced, this is true, the news from the Guannei, the Ming Dynasty seems to have forgotten about the outside of the Guan, there are too many new things impacting the lives of the Ming Dynasty, no one mentioned that there are 100,000 people fighting outside the Guan, and it seems that the Ming Dynasty Emperor will definitely win, which makes Huang Taiji very sad.

"Great Khan, how many people really want to go to Xingshan Fort to investigate, to see if the Ming Dynasty has come to reinforce the army, whether the Great Khan is accurate or not?" Fan Wencheng asked cautiously.

"Over Apricot Mountain?" Huang Taiji's face was even worse, thinking that Yuan Chonghuan, a madman, would send tens of thousands of people to fight his spies, Huang Taiji felt panicked, when did the battle become like this? There is no discipline at all.

"......" Huang Taiji didn't know what to say, he didn't dare to send a small group of spies now, as soon as he went out, the Ming Dynasty would definitely press over with ten times the number of men, as for how the Ming Dynasty found them, Huang Taiji now also figured it out, the Ming Dynasty issued a clairfront mirror to each hundred households, and each team of 100 people had a pole, standing on the top of the mountain, they could find their movements from a long distance, and their probes wanted to explore around silently, it was almost impossible.

When Daikin dispatched people to chase, these elites of the Ming Dynasty often ran faster than anything else, and if they chased, they would definitely encounter an ambush, often a grenade, if they chased too quickly, the kind of grenade that was thrown on the ground and waited for them to catch up and explode, which was really more of a headache.

“…… One...... Three ......, no, it's still ......" Huang Taiji didn't know how many people had spoken, hundreds of people went out, now he is absolutely not at ease, a thousand elites, and now he is also starting to feel at ease, Yuan Chonghuan, that barbarian, will definitely dispatch tens of thousands of horses, three thousand, it seems to be guaranteed, once he inquired about the news, he dispatched three thousand elites, Huang Taiji began to have a headache, people eat horses and chew not to mention, people are even more exhausted, in case of a real fight, these three thousand elite combat power, but it will affect the battle situation.

"Let's not go out for now." The mountain in Huang Taiji's heart made Huang Taiji very depressed, and he was even more frightened, and finally decided not to go out, that mountain is the Ming Dynasty emperor has tens of millions of silver in his hands, so much silver, I am afraid that I can't buy enough people to die? What about two thousand? The Ming Dynasty didn't ask at all, if Yuan Chonghuan fought desperately to kill and kill his 3,000 men and horses after Xingshan Fort, even if he was a great golden warrior and could exchange one for two, but Huang Taiji felt that Yuan Chonghuan would dare to give it a try, and the Ming Dynasty emperor didn't seem to care about Yuan Chonghuan's defeat at all, the Ming Dynasty could lose 6,000 people, or even 60,000 people, so could he afford to lose 3,000 elites? How many times can you afford to lose? Huang Taiji had to ask himself like this, the pressure in the sky was getting bigger and bigger, making Huang Taiji gradually out of breath.

"Oh, big sweat" Fan Wencheng agreed, seeing that Huang Taiji's face was not very good, Fan Wencheng didn't dare to stay longer.

"Xian Dou, you say, where are the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty? And when will it come? Huang Taiji asked.

"Back to the Great Khan, Wen Cheng thought that the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty would definitely come, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty claimed to be 'not abandoned, not given up', so how could he ignore Songshan Fort? If Songshan Fort is really breached, and the Ming Emperor ignores the matter spreads, it will definitely deal a big blow to the reputation of the Ming Emperor, so the Ming Dynasty's reinforcements will definitely come. It's just that when will the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty come, will come from that direction, this is more difficult to guess, judging from the current situation, the Ming Dynasty emperor is afraid that he will still fight the idea of forcing me to withdraw from the army, if the war has been so deadlocked, I am afraid that the Ming Emperor will not really send reinforcements, unless the food in Songshan Fort is about to run out, or can not hold on, otherwise, Wen Cheng estimates that the Ming Emperor will not send reinforcements at all, according to Wen Cheng, as long as the Ming Emperor forces my Dajin, he will win, the Ming Emperor has too much silver in his hand, as long as he does not lose, he will win, and I Dajin, as long as you don't win once, you will lose, I can't afford to spend a lot of money" Fan Wencheng thought about it and said, seriously analyzing the situation for Huang Taiji. …,

"Oh, is that so? Let's talk about it. Huang Taiji asked, the current situation has made Huang Taiji very sad, and now Fan Wencheng's statement is not bad, Huang Taiji asked carefully.

"Back to the Great Khan, now there is Mao Wenlong harassing everywhere in the east of my Dajin, and those hunters in the south are active and harassing, and Lin Dan Khan is the same, and this Jinning, Yuan Chonghuan is also like this, he does not hesitate to use the method of beating my Dajin to force me Dajin to withdraw from the army, from this kind of situation, the plan of the Ming Dynasty is afraid to force my Dajin to be harassed, and take the initiative to withdraw the army, so as to relieve the siege of Songshan Fort,...... For Emperor Ming, it is the so-called "not to lose" is to win......" Huang Taiji analyzed.

"It makes sense, this is true, now, Mao Wenlong's side is harassing a lot, Shengjing's defense line has retreated a lot, Mao Wenlong, it's really hateful, as for those bounty hunters and Lin Dan Khan in the south, it's just a few fleas, it's nothing, if you want to say that there is a threat to my Dajin, that is, Mao Wenlong......" Huang Taiji said hatefully, Dajin has always regarded Mao Wenlong as a thorn in the flesh, a thorn in his eye, and he can't wait to get rid of it quickly, but unfortunately, Mao Wenlong is very slippery, he can't reach it at all, last year's war, It made Mao Wenlong show off, even if Mao Wenlong was defeated, but as long as Mao Wenlong did not die, in a few months, Mao Wenlong recovered and came alive, the battle in front of him was regarded as a hundred fights, the Ming Dynasty never regarded Mao Wenlong's defeat as a big deal, and he and Mao Wenlong fought to the death, I am afraid that in the eyes of many Ming Dynasty courtiers, they are sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. And this Jinning is different, it is the kind of place that has to be saved and will shake the Ming Dynasty, so Huang Taiji chose Jinning instead of fighting Mao Wenlong.

"Back to the Great Khan, this is probably the plan of the Ming Emperor, in fact, the Ming Emperor still has a few elites in his hands, such as Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, etc., but the Ming Emperor put them in Xifengkou and Zhangjiakou again, to fight the Mongols, I heard, it is to prevent my Dajin from making a detour into the customs, it is ridiculous to say, Mao Wenlong has not solved it, how dare I Dajin take a detour to enter the customs? If these people are transferred to Jinning, Yuan Chonghuan's strength will increase greatly,...... However, the news now is that Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao have always been in these two places, and they have no intention of moving...... there is a reason for this......" Fan Wencheng continued to analyze.

"Wen Cheng has a point, if Ben Khan is the Ming Emperor, he will definitely not put Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao aside and not use the ......, Wen Cheng continued, and then said......" Huang Taiji interjected, and let Fan Wencheng continue.

“…… Great Khan, the new army is mostly newly recruited new soldiers, the combat power is low, the Ming Emperor will not rashly send the new army to the battlefield, the reason why Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao to fight the Mongols, one is to clean up the Mongolian tribes, cut off my Dajin's Austrian aid, and the other is that the Ming Emperor is training the new army in actual combat,...... If the new army is counted, the military power that can be used in the hands of the Ming Emperor is indeed very strong, in the new army, if Qin Liangyu is also included, it has the power to fight, but, the Ming Emperor inserted Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers and the new army recruits together for training, which further illustrates Wen Cheng's speculation, the Ming Emperor's idea, I am afraid that it is still based on harassment, if I can force my Dajin to withdraw the army, the Ming Emperor naturally likes it, if I Dajin does not withdraw the army, it is estimated that the Ming Emperor will still send reinforcements, and now he has not sent reinforcements, it is estimated that he wants the new army to train for more time. Fan Wencheng expressed his opinion.

"Oh,...... Well, it makes sense, that is, Emperor Ming is now buying time for the new army? As soon as the training of these new homes is completed, the Ming Emperor will still send reinforcements, and when the time comes, the Ming Emperor's hands will be Mangui, Zhao Shujiao, and Qin Liangyu? There may also be a new army of the Ming Emperor? Huang Taiji said.

"Back to Your Majesty, Wen Cheng estimates that this is the case, Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao there, there are 10,000 elites, if Qin Liangyu and the new army of the Ming Emperor are counted, it is not difficult to get in the early 10,000s at all, there are at least 20,000 soldiers who can fight, if you cooperate with Yuan Chonghua's 20,000 elites here, there are 40,000 elites, and I Dajin already have the strength to fight......" At this time, through various signs, Fan Wencheng saw a lot of things, since the reinforcements were not Yuan Chonghuan, they would definitely be transferred from the Guannei.

"Well...... it makes sense, it makes sense, Xiandou is worthy of being Ben Khan's Zhuge , and his analysis is very reasonable...... Huang Taiji opened his eyebrows.

Although Fan Wencheng said it beautifully, but in his heart, he was even more bottomless, this is not counting the elite of Mao Wenlong, if Mao Wenlong transferred 10,000 elites there, then there were at least 50,000 elites in the Ming Dynasty who could fight tough battles, and the Ming Emperor was a rich man, promising enough silver in advance and burning silver, and he was afraid that these people would not sell their lives? This battle is difficult to ............,
