"Mr. Bai, what should I do? Why did they set the fire? ”

"How do I know, Lao Tzu doesn't care why he set the fire, arson is someone, go with Lao Tzu to kill the Tartar." The hatred from many years ago was still so clear, and Chen Ying passed the sex at this time, and immediately regained a little spirit.

The captain hurriedly advised, "Why don't you rest?" ”

"Rest a fart, you hold on to Lao Tzu, let's rush, the brothers in the second game, all rush with Lao Tzu!"

Chen Ying shouted loudly, and the Dengzhou soldiers gathered around howled one after another, some of them didn't know which detachment it was, and they heard the whistle running over in the fog, and the bloody battle just now aroused their spirits, and some weapons were damaged, so they picked them up on the spot, and followed Chen Ying to run in the direction of the firelight.

The captain supported Chen Ying, the two of them were like conjoined babies, a group of Dengzhou soldiers did not have the slightest formation, and many of them were not holding weapons that were handy, so they rushed forward like green skins on the street. On the way, they encountered a small group of Houjin soldiers, they were also running back to the firelight, and several musketeers opened fire in a hurry, and after killing two Houjin soldiers, the group of Jiannu fled without a figure.

There was a panicked shout in front of him, all of which were incomprehensible Yiyu, Chen Ying shouted, and the leader rushed towards the sound, behind him were hundreds of Dengzhou soldiers.

Countless arrows suddenly swished out of the white mist in front of them, flying towards these Dengzhou soldiers in a disorderly manner, many arrows were higher than their heads, disappeared behind, and seven or eight Dengzhou soldiers were shot over.

Not far away, the Dengzhou soldiers shouted in unison, swarmed to the front, ran less than twenty paces, and ran into a group of Jiannu, the musketeers in the crowd fired a volley as usual, and the two sides fought again.

Chen Ying saw people coming and going, and the captain didn't know where he had gone. Chen Ying's head was dizzy, her stomach was nauseated, and she finally vomited with a wow, and vomited all the food in the morning.

When he vomited, the Dengzhou soldiers kept rushing out of the white fog, frantically attacking the Houjin army in front of him, Jiannu retreated step by step, and after a while, the sound of Mingjin sounded in the firelight. Then the sound of gold was heard in the distance, and it seemed that the Houjin army was about to retreat.

The people in front shouted that the horses were neighing, and they didn't know what they were doing, and when Chen Ying arrived at the Houjin camp with the remnants of the men, he was stopped in front of the trench outside the camp. The fire inside was blazing, and there were all kinds of cries around, and the smoke released from the burning aggravated the whiteness in front of him, Chen Ying led people around the trench for a while, but he didn't find the passage, and he didn't know what to do for a while......

Two hundred steps north of this small Dengzhou detachment, Huang Taiji was heading north surrounded by a group of Goshkha. Some white-armored soldiers set fire to the camp tents along the way to block the pursuing soldiers in Dengzhou.

Huang Taiji still doesn't know what happened, his original plan was to start evacuating before dawn and set fire to the camp to block the main road. But this fog made him change his mind, and he planned to take advantage of the unclear weather to let the main force leave the camp to lure Chen Xin out of pursuit, and send some elites of each flag to Dengzhou to attack. As long as the formation of the Dengzhou army is disrupted, the Dengzhou army can be heavily wounded. Let Dengzhou's momentum be taken away, and then you can calmly withdraw your troops. The basis for his decision was the confidence that Salhu completely annihilated Juniper in the foggy sky back then. This plan was beneficial to everyone, so the flags unanimously supported it, and Huang Taiji himself served as the conductor.

For this reason, the banners sent out some stragglers first, ready to lure the army of Dengzhou Town to attack, and led them into the ambush area step by step, but the signal of each banner has not yet been sent, and a Ming army suddenly appeared not far from Huang Taiji, and the deployment here was the most, not only the scouts of the yellow flag, but also the men and horses drawn from the blue flag.

As for how those people leaked such a big gap in the foggy day, no one knows, only listen to the shouting and killing in front, it seems that a large group of people are coming, and the soldiers who fled back exaggerated the number of the Ming army, Huang Taiji had to let people light the fire and summon ambush soldiers to come here to rescue, and Chen Ying's reckless attack came one after another, the two sides did not know each other in the fog, Huang Taiji hurriedly could only order a retreat, each flag canceled the ambush plan, and set fire to the tent while retreating......

When Chen Xin received the news of the fire in the Houjin camp, the entanglement in his heart was even worse. He didn't know Huang Taiji's plan at all, Dai Zhenggang's herald came twice, and only said that the front had been fighting, but because of the line of sight, it was not clear how many troops the other side had, saying that only some places were fighting fiercely, and other places belonged to mutual testing.

Chen Xin was as confused as the weather at this time, he still didn't dare to send the whole army to take it, and the fog in front of him made him feel a fear of the unknown.

After the fire broke out in the Houjin camp, the information of the forwards came back in batches, and the Houjin soldiers in front of them were all detached, and many detachments lost contact in the chaos, and even Dai Zhenggang did not know the battle situation when he was on the front line, and the staff officers sent out by Chen Xin could not find Dai Zhenggang's position later.

Since the commander-in-chief did not dare to make up his mind, and those staff officers did not dare to make up their minds, Liu Pojun imagined many possibilities, but his imagination could not deduce the situation in front of him.

Chen Xin smoked one cigarette after another, he very much wanted to give the Houjin soldiers a heavy blow, if he was just a general, it was okay to take risks, but as an actual commander of the separatist forces, it was necessary to consider more, in terms of risks and benefits, once the rash attack failed, he might lose the most important result of the defense of Lushun, that is, the morale of nearly 20,000 soldiers and auxiliaries.

The cigarette butt was thrown to the ground, and the fire of the Houjin camp was faintly visible through the fog, Chen Xin still didn't make up his mind, and finally Dai Zhenggang came with news again, saying that the Houjin soldiers had lit several camps in the south, and the fire was very large, blocking the road to pass, and the main force of Houjin may have retreated, and many detachments of the Dengzhou forward lost contact, and he was leading people to find a way through the Houjin camp area.

After being entangled in his heart for another half a quarter of an hour, Chen Xin finally couldn't bear it anymore, and let Zhu Guobin lead the cavalry to attack, but the dragoons still remained, and those phalanx soldiers who had no straggler combat power remained in the earthen wall.

There was a roar in the north, waiting for news until the beginning of the afternoon, when the fog began to slowly dissipate, and the visibility reached thirty paces, Chen Xin couldn't wait to send out dragoons. After another moment, the sea breeze gradually rose, the fog dissipated faster, and the Dengzhou army attacked one after another along the passage of the earthen wall, and hurried to the north after hurriedly lining up outside the map wall.

After walking for about three miles, the sun shone overhead, and the surrounding scenery became clearer, Chen Xin led the guards past the infantry and rushed to the battlefield, and there were some corpses scattered on the ground. There were both sides, the red of the Dengzhou cavalry appeared a mile away, their formation was chaotic, Chen Xin released them in advance and it didn't play a role, they marched a few miles and were quite chaotic, and they were in a whole team at this time.

There were still some Houjin cavalry running around in the field of vision, and it seemed that they were lost when they retreated, and when the fog cleared, they saw the Dengzhou army get up. Quickly find the right direction to flee, and some sentry cavalry of the cavalry battalion pursued behind.

Chen Xin didn't have time to deal with them, and Dai Zhenggang's forward was also a mess, and this battle was chaotic and chaotic, which had a greater impact on Dengzhou Town, which was to be pursued. Smoke billowed from the camp to the north. There were still fires everywhere, and Houjin's camp extended north along the Lushun River, at this time layer by layer was ignited, and the fireworks blocked the route of Dengzhou's pursuit. The official road was blocked by fire, and several teams of Dengzhou sentinels carefully walked between several camps, and obstacles were piled up in the places where the Jin army passed after peacetime, and a fire also broke out at this time. When Chen Xin ran near the camp wall. You can feel that heat wave too.

Chen Xin's face was gloomy, Huang Taiji had lost a lot of tents, but he used the fire to block Dengzhou's pursuit, and Chen Xin was sure that there were still broken cavalry. They will burn while retreating, preventing the fire of the entire camp from being extinguished at the same time, so as to hold back the Dengzhou army for a longer time. The camp on the east side of Houjin was always connected to the mountains, so that the cavalry could not get around.

"Send infantry from the mountains to bypass the camp. Let the cavalry find their way and pass through and drag them down. If it's too late, Jiannu will run away. Chen Xin gave an order to Liu Pojun, and Liu Pojun quickly sent the third battalion of Mandarin Duck Formation Thousand Headquarters, and the cavalry was also completed, sending many squads to enter and exit in that piece of smoke and dust.

Liu Pojun saw that Chen Xin's face was not good, and comforted Chen Xin: "My lord, the Jiannu fled with light horses, and all the baggage tents were abandoned, and the losses to them were already heavy. ”

"Jiannu must be prepared in Golden State, where there should be grain reserves." Chen Xin took a breath, the smell of burning fabrics wafted in the air, the mountain infantry and special service team he sent to Fuzhou to break the attack was quite effective, and Houjin transferred two thousand armor soldiers from Liaozhong, led by Beizi with blue flags, to strengthen the escort near Fuzhou.

Jiannu even fifty years old have been mobilized, their heavy troops are all in Liaodong and southern Liaoning, to deal with Dongjiang and Dengzhou, the base of Liaozhong has been emptied, only Niuzhuang has a few hundred people from Sakhalian and a small number of Han soldiers, to defend the long Sancha River, fortunately, Liaozhen as always did not dare to move, Zu Dashou also vigorously warned the Jingshi, saying that tens of thousands of Houjin troops may besiege Jinzhou at any time, and constantly ask for military pay and military equipment.

The more painful the Jiannu is beaten this time, the smaller the chance that they will come to southern Liaoning in the future, Dengzhou has already shown the ability to independently fight against Jiannu, and dare to chase and fight, and when they interact with Liaozhen in the future, they will have an advantage.

But in front of them, once Jiannu got out of contact by relying on fog and fire, they could rely on the mobility of the cavalry to escape back to Jinzhou in one day, and the distance was only one hundred and twenty miles after all.

Chen Xin sighed, "Huang Taiji has the courage to let Bao Yi and the horseless go first, and he himself took the elite to stay behind and stabilize the military spirit of Jiannu." Now I only have to look at the Kiba Station, the river is not so good, has the Kiba Station changed in the past two days? ”

Liu Pojun said in a low voice: "A special service team was sent over there, a few days ago it was said that there was a large number of coats in the Muchang Station, and the news was cut off two days ago, and a team of sentries was sent to the past yesterday, and people were sent back overnight to report that the defense was tight, and there were Jiannu white armor soldiers everywhere in the mountains. ”

Chen Xin's brows furrowed even tighter......

On the bank of the river were the corpses of more than 200 Houjin soldiers, as well as hundreds of dead and wounded horses, behind him were about 2,000 cavalry and dragoons, and behind him were infantry who came on a rapid march.

The Dengzhou army opened a road in the smoke and extinguished the fires along the way, and the army pursued the Houjin army along the official road, and the Dengzhou cavalry was well preserved in the siege, and the body of the horses far exceeded that of the Jiannu who came from afar.

The roadside was full of surrender coats, the total number was about two thousand, all of them were left to the last Ahha, in the face of the Dengzhou cavalry, they had no body to escape, they could only choose to surrender. The Dengzhou cavalry caught up with many backward Houjin soldiers along the way, and most of these Houjin soldiers were elites of various banners, who lost their way in the skirmishing battle, and only went to chase the brigade after the fog cleared. Most of these Houjin soldiers were killed, and a small number fled into the mountains and forests. The Dengzhou army did not care about chasing and killing these stragglers, and rushed all the way to the Kiba Station, a key point fifty miles away from Lushun.

Zhu Guobin caught up with the Jiannu rearguard by the river, and killed more than 200 Jiannu in two rounds of impact, but he quickly discovered the abnormality in the river, and the Houjin soldiers on the opposite side were also lined up in an array. He sent people to investigate, and the Jin soldiers built a dam upstream.

Chen Xin hurried to his flag recognition place, raised the telescope and observed, there were about 3,000 Houjin cavalry outside the post station of the Kichang Post opposite, and Huang Taiji's Da Ji was impressively in the column, but their formation was also a little chaotic, and it was obvious that they were in a hurry, and they seemed to be waiting for the Dengzhou soldiers to cross the river.

Zhu Guobin said to Chen Xin: "Jiannu built a dam upstream, and there was no water in the river, so their cavalry passed over lightly. ”

"Now the upstream has started to release water?"

Zhu Guobin shook his head, "I don't know yet, the investigation of the special service team on Kiba Station has not been smooth, it turns out that the slave is here to repair this thing." ”

Chen Xin today is the third time to suffer a setback, first the inexplicable fog, then the fire resistance, and now it has become the water resistance, it can be seen that the Huang Taiji has planned this retreat for a long time, in addition to the fog is accidental, the fire camp and the water resistance are the design of the Huang Taiji, he also specially sent people to strengthen the defense of the Kiba Station, Chen Xin sent a reconnaissance ship to find that there are many gold soldiers, and there is no chance of victory in the landing operation.

This place is a more important point than Nanguan, because of its narrow terrain, and there is a river barrier, in the various deductions of the Military Command Division, the Houjin army was severely damaged here, and some people also proposed that Houjin might build a dam, but in the end Liu Pojun thought that as long as he bit the Houjin tail, the dam would not have much effect, and if the water was flooded, the Houjin soldiers would be flooded together.

Who knew that Huang Taiji added a fire barrier in front, which widened the distance, and the fog caused chaos in Dengzhou Town, Chen Xin did not endure at the last moment, and hurriedly sent cavalry did not play any role, but caused chaos among the cavalry and dragoons.

Chen Xin examined himself in his heart, Dengzhou Town still lacked experience in this kind of big war, and the staff system had already shown its superiority in formulating plans, but as soon as this emergency appeared, the staff officers had no idea, and they still had to rely on Chen Xin to pat their heads.

"How are you going to deal with it?"

Zhu Guobin replied: "My subordinates have sent all the detachments of the dragoons to dismount and have already marched upstream. ”

Chen Xin shook his head and said: "These 3,000 cavalry are retreating from Lushun, and there must be people and horses in the eastern valley, which are the cavalry of the Yue Tuo Department who was stationed in the Muchang Post before, waiting for us to cross the river and attack us." ”

As the two spoke, there was the sound of the roar of water from upstream, and a tide rushed down, making splashes in the riverbed, and the current soon filled the riverbed. The Houjin cavalry array in the distance sounded the sound of gold, and turned around in turn to leave from the two-mountain road of the Kiba Station, and finally only five hundred white-armored soldiers were left surrounded by Huang Taiji's big gun, and they pressed the formation at the end, and only after the other armored soldiers were far away, they calmly beat their horses and galloped away.

Chen Xin looked at the momentum of the water flow in the river, and there was no sign of decreasing, and said coldly in the direction of the big gas: "Count yourself lucky." ”
