Half a day later, the news of the annihilation of the elite army of Ying Erdai and the five thousand Zheng Red Banner reached Shengjing, and Dai Shan, who stayed in Shengjing, finally couldn't bear the huge blow after hearing the news and fell, and this bad news crushed him who was not in good health.

The Manchu high-level people who stayed in Shengjing had no choice but to send 600 miles to Shanhaiguan three times a day, urging Huang Taiji to hurry back to Shengjing to preside over the overall situation.

After all, after Yingordai was eliminated, Shengjing's remaining troops were only more than 6,000 people, and it was difficult to protect himself, let alone destroy the enemy, so the only way to do this was to ask Huang Taiji for help.

The fifth day of the fifth month of the tenth year of Chongzhen

At the front of Shanhaiguan is entrenched a huge military camp, in this military camp there are yellow flags everywhere, in the middle of the camp, a huge big tent is entrenched in the center, and a yellow dragon flag is inserted around it, this big camp is the army of the emperor Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty.

"What, the Ming army slaughtered my Qing people in Shengjing, and even Ying Erdai was killed?"

A wild scream came from the tent, followed by the sound of something being thrown to the ground.

The messenger who arrived at the front of Shanhaiguan anxiously said to Huang Taiji: "Yes, the emperor, now Da Beile is also ill, Shengjing has no one to preside over the overall situation, and at this moment Shengjing is empty, you adults are afraid that the Ming army will take the opportunity to attack Shengjing, so you sent servants to ask the emperor for help, and implore the emperor to withdraw his troops back to Beijing." ”

At this time, Huang Taiji was wearing a dragon robe, wearing the above thick-soled iron net combat boots on his feet, his slightly fat body was trembling slightly, more than 20,000 people were slaughtered, and the elite of Ying Erdai and 5,000 red flags were killed.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm down and asked, "I ask you, how is Shengjing doing now?" ”

The messenger hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Back to the emperor, before he fell ill, Dai Shanda Baylor ordered the four gates to be closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without the token in the palace, and Lord Fan Wencheng also ordered the women and children in the city to prepare, and once they found that the Ming army was attacking the city, they immediately went to the city wall to help defend the city." ”

"Well, it's appropriate to say that Dai Shan and Fan Wencheng are doing things." After listening, Huang Taiji's heart relaxed slightly, after the initial shock, Huang Taiji's mood relaxed a little, his brain began to spin again, and after a long time, Huang Taiji slowly shook his head and said: "No, I can't withdraw my troops now, otherwise it will fall short." ”

Seeing that Huang Taiji had no intention of withdrawing troops to help, the messenger couldn't help but become anxious, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what about Shengjing?" Doesn't it matter? ”

Huang Taiji's eyes flashed with a confident gaze, and he said: "No, although Shengjing is not strong enough, but at this moment it is already heavily guarded, even if this Ming army wants to attack and fight, it must weigh whether it has such a good mouth, I expect that this Ming army must have fled south at this moment, and withdraw by sea, otherwise when our army comes back to help, they will definitely die without a place to be buried, the generals of the Ming army will not be so stupid, their purpose in attacking our territory this time is nothing more than a trick to encircle Wei and save Zhao, we will not be fooled by this, It must be known that if we do not get enough food and supplies back, we will have a hard time this year......"

Just when Huang Taiji saw through Pang Gang's purpose, Pang Gang finally arrived in Dandong with a huge team, and everyone cheered when they looked at the Qing army camp that had been burned out.

"Whew...... Finally arrived in Dandong. Pang Gang let out a long breath, as if he had lifted the burden of moving forward.

Da Zhuang on the side asked with some curiosity: "My lord, you have been urging us to hurry all the way, are you afraid that something will happen?" ”

Pang Gang said: "We are now in the hinterland of the Tartars, and we have brought so many people, can this official not be in a hurry?" Fortunately, a large number of horses and livestock were captured from the Tartars this time, otherwise we would still be halfway with so many people and things. ”

After being trained, Da Zhuang lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "Now that the Tartar brigade is in Daming, if you want me to say that we will simply knock down Shengjing and rob Shengjing all!" In the eyes of the honest Da Zhuang, since it is difficult to get a trip to the hinterland of the Tartars, how can you not go to Shengjing for a walk?

"Nonsense!" Pang Gang glared at Da Zhuang angrily and funnily and said, "Don't look at the fact that Shengjing's troops are not very many now, but this official can guarantee that if we attack Shengjing, we will definitely run into blood." Don't forget, there are not only thousands of defenders in Shengjing, but also more than 100,000 Tartars. ”

For Da Zhuang's proposal to attack Shengjing, Pang Gang automatically attributed it to nonsense, and now Shengjing knows that it must be so heavily guarded that he can't even sneak in a mouse, with his own less than 7,000 troops, and without artillery cover, in the face of Shengjing, which is not a lot of troops, but the city is high and deep, the possibility that they can break through Shengjing is infinitely close to zero, and Pang Gang will not do such a thankless thing.

Seeing Da Zhuangshang's somewhat unwilling expression, Pang Gang reached out and patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Okay, don't be bitter." You can rest assured, in no more than three years, we will do our best to recover Liaodong, and this official will definitely let you be the vanguard at that time. ”

Da Zhuang smiled honestly, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you are not a pioneer first, as long as you can attack Shengjing, you will be happy to let the last general be a groom." Besides, although we turned the surrounding of Shengjing upside down this time, but now the Tartars are not fooled, aren't we busy in vain this time? ”

Pang Gang was happy when he heard it, and quipped, "Hey...... Okay, you're big, you're growing more and more now. ”

Hearing Pang Gang joke about himself, Da Zhuang just touched his head and stopped talking.

After Pang Gang finished laughing, he sighed slightly and said: "If the Tartars are not fooled, we can't do anything, after all, we have done our best, we can't take us on our own." But if the Tartars still stay in the pass and don't leave, we can only find another way. Okay, let's not talk about it, order the brothers to hurry up, the fleet is still waiting for us! ”

Seeing that the sound of the waves was faintly heard in front of him, Pang Gang also ordered the team to hurry up and walk towards the beach......

Although Pang Gang made an armed march in Shengjing and wiped out nearly 7,000 of their Qing soldiers, including Ao Bai and Ying Erdai, Huang Taiji was not fooled, but ordered the Qing soldiers in the pass to continue plundering......

Just when Pang Gang got on the ship with some regret and headed for Qingzhou Shandong, Dolgon in Jinan also fell into a dilemma.

Relying on the city wall of Jinan, Wei led more than 10,000 Ming troops to hold the city of Jinan for more than half a month, and during this time, the Qing army left more than 7,000 corpses under the city wall of Jinan. The heavy losses of the white and white flags made Dorgon and Dodor unable to sit still.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Duoduo persuaded Dolgon: "Brother Fourteen, we can't fight so hard anymore, after half a month, my white flag alone has lost nearly 3,000 warriors, and the blood of our two banner warriors will be shed in this way!" ”

There was a trace of irrepressible anger in Duoduo's voice, in the past half a month, he and Dolgon had used all methods, but Jinan City still stood tall in front of them.

Dolgon was silent for a while, as if he had made up his mind, he stood up violently and said: "Fifteenth brother, you are right, we can't attack any longer, half a month has passed, and there is no news from Pang Ganghe and his people, there must be fraud here." ”

Dolgon's original surname was suspicious, but now he saw that he had surrounded Jinan and attacked for more than half a month, but the other party had no news at all, and Dolgon pondered for several days and couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, a Qing soldier strode in and handed a carrier pigeon to Dolgon.

After Dolgon took the pigeon, he removed a small cylinder from the pigeon's leg and pulled out a small note from the cylinder. With the help of the bright light outside, Dolgon quickly read the content written on the note, and then said with a blue face: "I see, no wonder I haven't seen that Pang Gang these days, it turns out that they actually ran to our territory." ”

"Brother Fourteen, what did you say above?" Duoduo took the note, and when he saw it, his face immediately turned pale, "What, they actually ran to Shengjing, and even Ao Bai and Ying Erdai were killed?" ”

Dolgon's face was also very ugly, and he said hatefully: "What a Pang Gang, what a Wei Wei to save Zhao!" ”

After a while, Duoduo said: "Fourteenth brother, the emperor has an opinion on our entanglement with the Ming army under the city of Jinan, and now he urgently orders us to join Yue Tuo, and the two armies work together to eat Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers and horses, should we go?" ”

Dolgon smiled bitterly, "What if you don't go?" This is a holy decree, if we don't go, we can't afford this consequence, so we must not only go, but also go as soon as possible, and we will camp now. ”

Two hours later, in the governor's hall in Jinan City, Wei Tongtong was discussing with the officials about arranging for Qingzhuang to go up to the city wall to help the defenders defend the city, and Li Yuan, who was guarding the east gate, hurriedly walked over and hugged Wei Tongnian.

"Lord Qiyu, the Tartars have withdrawn!"

"What? The Tartars have retired? Wei Tongnian couldn't help but be stunned, and asked in disbelief: "Are you sure that the Tartars have withdrawn?" ”

"Yes, sir."

Li Yuan said with certainty, "The spies have come to report, and now the Tartars have been heading to the north one after another, and it is estimated that their target is Tongzhou." ”

"Tongzhou?" Wei Tongnian walked to the map and looked at it, and then his face changed slightly, "It's not good, Lu Xiangsheng is in danger......"
