Seeing the defeat of the Han Eight Banners in the rear, Dolgon did not order a strong attack again except for scolding Nikan a few times for being a waste, he was not Duoduo, he understood that the Han army would be of great use in the future, and the losses were too heavy before entering the first pass of the Ming Dynasty, and the cannon fodder was not used like this.

These thousand casualties are enough, if it is so fortified, he estimates that the thousands of people who have been killed can be filled in to capture this steep wall ridge, this level is too steep, and he also encountered the hard bone of Man Gui.

Dolgon discussed with Abatai that he still had to drive the Ming people to attack the city, although this was not the interior of the Ming Dynasty, and the number of people was not too many, but it was still able to collect 18,000 Han people, which was enough, and these Ming people could greatly reduce casualties by consuming the rolling wood and ammunition of the defenders.

Of course, this means that the siege will be delayed for a few days, and the mind to compete with Azig and Duoduo on the eastern road has long been gone, and it is better to maintain his strength, if the loss is too much, he doesn't think that Huang Taiji can let him go.

At the beginning of the second day, the entire wall ridge pass was very calm, Jiannu was collecting the Ming people everywhere, while the Ming army was quietly waiting, and the defenders were always passive, so they could only sit and wait for the other party to take the initiative to attack in various ways.

Near noon on the third day, Man Gui received a report that Wu Aheng, the governor of Jiliao, led a 1,500-standard battalion of soldiers to reinforce the wall, which made him really surprised, he had not met the Wenchen who dared to come to the front line in person during the great war for a long time, except for the long-lived lord.

Wu Aheng's station is in Miyun, the governor of Jiliao at this time is not the governor of Jiliao ten years ago, after the battle of Dalinghe, Liaozhen is guarding Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Shanhaiguan line to survive, Shenma counterattack is on paper, Chongzhen has been constantly internal rebellion to wear away all the blood, he is already completely disappointed in Liaodong, only can hold Ningjinshan Customs, the son of heaven is content.

Therefore, the center of gravity of the governor of Jiliao is on the Jizhen that has been repeatedly broken through, and Liaozhen is simply a nominal existence, of course, the station has also come from Liaozhen to Jizhen Miyun, which is in the northeast direction of Beijing.

This time, Jiannu was detained again, and Wu Aheng estimated that the most minority of Jiannu's army was 10,000 people, even if the chief military officer of Jizhen Mangui led the headquarters of 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard the wall Ziling, it still seemed that the troops were thin.

So Wu Aheng left more than 1,000 standard battalion soldiers to guard Miyun, and took more than 1,000 people to reinforce the defenders of Qiangziling.

Man Gui hurriedly went out of the west gate to greet his top boss.

"I heard that Lord Du Du won the battle and defeated Jiannu's siege, I am glad to congratulate."

After the two met and greeted, Wu Aheng arched his hand in a loud voice.

Wu Aheng is considered to be an alternative among the scholars, he is very bold, and he is not informal, and he does not care too much about the civil and military path that ordinary civil servants abide by, and he gets along quite well with military generals.

"It's just a small victory, and the more than 1,000 people killed and injured are all Jiannu's Han army banners, ashamed, ashamed."

Man Gui is not inhibited, he is extremely unfamiliar with the things in the officialdom, to put it bluntly, he really can't boast about Fengying, and he doesn't bother to do it, and other Ming generals have already killed and injured so many enemies, but he didn't look at it.

"Hey, this governor knows that the combat power of the Han army banner of Jiannu has increased greatly in the past two years, and it is very difficult, and the Manchurian adults must not be presumptuous."

Wu Aheng twisted his beard and said with a smile, he was very happy, as long as he could keep the pass of the wall.

"It's just that Jiannu's entry into Kou has always been divided into multiple ways, and this time our army has only found out the offensive of the other side along the way, and the other roads..."

Man Gui shook his head.

"It's useless to frown at this time, let's defend this wall first, let's talk about it, who is the commander of the army on the opposite side."

Wu Aheng is this good, he has always been extremely optimistic, and he doesn't care about what he can't think of.

"Commanding tens of thousands of troops to attack here is Dolgon, the prince of Jiannu and Shuorui. In the past two years, this person has made great contributions to conquer the Mongolian tribes and go to Korea, and together with Azig, Yuetuo, and Abatai, they are all Jiannu who can conquer and fight. ”

Man Gui said while making a gesture of concession.

The two of them were humbly courteous, and the sound of horses' hooves on the west side suddenly sounded, and a large puff of smoke and dust was raised in the distance.

Several Ming cavalry came out in a row, their horses sweating like pulp, and their bodies were covered with gray and yellow dust, and they looked like they were galloping from a long distance.

These Ming soldiers rolled their saddles and fell off their horses, and one of them shouted first, "Report to the military gate, Lord Wu Guojun, the chief soldier of the East Road Town Guard Regiment, report that tens of thousands of Jiannu troops are attacking Qingshankou at the north entrance of the East Road, and they are in danger at this time, and I hope that the Lord will send troops to rescue." ”

Wu Aheng and Man Gui immediately stayed on the spot, this news was too shocking, as soon as they talked about where Jiannu was going to march from, another army of Jiannu appeared, and the problem was that it was not a place to appear.

It's nothing else, Wu Guojun, the chief soldier of the regimental training, is a general soldier of the regimental training who spent money to donate, and the soldiers under his command are weak, and this person is also unintentional in the battle formation, he is a drunken man, but there are people in the court to help, and even Wu Aheng is helpless against him, you have to use it, and you can't use it.

At this time, when they heard that the Jiannu army was attacking the Qingshankou line he defended, the two of them understood that although the Qingshankou was steep, it could be said that one was ten, and it was absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it would definitely not be able to stop the Jiannu army, it would be a military courage, Wu Guojun would definitely be able to be frightened by the Jiannu army, and the result of this battle could be known without asking.

And Qingshankou is on the east road, and after breaking through the pass from there, you can go straight to the southwest, and at this time it is no longer meaningful for them to hold on to the wall ridge on the north flank.

"The military situation is urgent, please also ask the military gate to show me." Man Gui solemnly arched his hand.

"Hahaha, the matter has come to this, the governor estimates that the Qingshan Pass will be lost, and now Jixian County is a critical place, and the Manchu General Army will immediately lead the troops to Jixian County to block the road of the Jiannu army to the west."

Wu Aheng immediately said, there is nothing that cannot be let out at this time,

"This governor led the standard battalion to block the Jiannu army here for a few days, so as to delay the defense of the Beijing division."

"Lord Junmen, Ben will leave a thousand soldiers, and the other more than 2,000 people will rush to Jixian with Ben General."

At this time, Man Gui couldn't be polite, Jixian County is the east gate of the Beijing Division, as the chief soldier of Jizhen Town, he said that he couldn't let Jixian County fall, otherwise he couldn't explain to the court and the Son of Heaven, both of them could not be explained, Man Gui left a thousand soldiers just to protect Wu Aheng's strength, and the pacesetter battalion and the remaining Tun army combat strength are worried.

"The general army will take all the soldiers away, it is good to have a few hundred defenders in Jixian County, and the Jiannu who came to attack are estimated to be tens of thousands, even more than 3,000 people defending the city are also in danger."

Wu Aheng did not agree.

Man Gui solemnly bowed, the Wenchen in front of him was a rare and responsible among the literati.

Man Gui immediately explained the military affairs, leaving more than 2,000 Ming troops, and he led more than 3,300 cavalry out of the West Gate and then went south, driving directly to Jixian County.

In Man Gui's opinion, the distance from Qiangziling to Jixian County is about the same, but Jiannu has the drag of the Han army, and the marching speed is afraid that it is not as fast as his command, and it is estimated that it is very likely to enter Jixian County before Jiannu.

However, Man Gui was disappointed, he met the commander of the Qing army who had a lot of experience in the battle array, Azig had already entered the army several times, he was extremely familiar with the terrain of Gyeonggi, and he was also very clear about the actions of the officials of the Ming State.

Therefore, Azig did not drive directly to Jixian County, but let the Han army march behind, and he commanded the eight banner soldiers with white flags, blue flags, and red flags, as well as more than 30,000 people from the Mongolian Eight Banners and Outer Mongolian cavalry to drive directly to the west of Jixian County.

When the 3,000 cavalry under the command of Man Gui entered Guanzhuang, more than 20 miles west of Jixian County, they received a report that the Qing army pounced on them from the east and north.

"Order all the soldiers to dismount and repair." Man Gui smiled bitterly, he did not order an immediate retreat, Man Gui's cavalry only had more than two hundred horses, and the mounts were extremely tired because of galloping, and at this time, even if they retreated westward, they would be caught up by Jiannu.

"My lord, my subordinates are here to lead my troops to resist, and my lord and the guards take the opportunity to break through to the west."

The old subordinate Jiang Lichao stepped forward and arched his hand.

"Abandon these brothers to escape, a certain disdainful, a certain has never abandoned the army and fled since joining the army, is it not as good as Zhao Shujiao today?"

Man Gui said angrily.

Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao fought happily in Liaozhen back then, one was good at riding and fighting, the other was good at defending the city, and the other looked down on the one who defended the city, thinking that he was cowardly and cowardly, and the one who defended the city was extremely contemptuous of Man Gui, but he was a martial artist.

The two fought extremely fiercely, but Yuan Chonghuan favored Zhao Shujiao, because Zhao led the church to do things, and won Yuan Chonghuan's favor, and the final result was that Yuan Chonghuan proposed to the imperial court to transfer Man Gui out of Liaozhen and serve as the chief soldier of Xuanfu.

Therefore, Man Gui hated Yuan Chonghuan and Zhao Shujiao in his heart, and his reputation for Man Gui's entire life was ruined by these two goods.

However, after Zhao led the army to lead the army to die in a bloody battle with Jiannu, Man Gui personally put on the incense case to worship, he sighed that he saw the wrong person, Zhao led the sect to be bloody, and had the courage to die in the face of defeat, and never stole his life.

In fact, if their generals want to escape, it is too easy, the soldiers do not have horses, and the generals can run away with one person and three horses, and no one can chase them, as long as they choose a good direction and run wildly.

But it is this Zhao Shujiao, who has always looked down on him, and who has avoided the battle and defended the city countless times in Liaozhen in the past, did not abandon his subordinates to die together at this time, and he is really heroic.

Today, he Mangui is facing the same choice, can he Mangui escape, joke, is he still Mangui, and is there still Zhao Shujiao who sees the underground, this matter must not be done.

"Your Excellency..." Jiang Lichao still wants to persuade again.

"I have made up my mind, it is a happy life for my husband to fight for the country, although Zhao Shujiao is dead, but who mentioned him is not a praise for his loyalty."

Man Gui waved his hand, and there was no need to persuade him anymore.

Jiang Lichao sighed and retreated helplessly, he knew that they were all going to be buried here today. (To be continued.) )
