After dawn, Tan Tai, who had arrived at Tashan Castle, received an accurate report that there were only more than 9,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners Army evacuated from Jinzhou to Tashan, including 3,000 soldiers stationed between Jinzhou and Tashan, which means that there were only more than 6,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners Army evacuated from Jinzhou City.

Of the 35,000 people, only more than 6,000 people were evacuated to Tashan, a figure that was difficult for Tan Tai to accept.

As for the situation of the 2,000 people stationed between Jinzhou and Quang Ninh, Tan Tai did not know and could not know.

After a short period of thought, Tan Tai arranged for Shi Tingzhu to be stationed in Tashan Castle, waiting for the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army who might still be withdrawn here, and he had to rush to Ningyuan City and personally report all the situation to Abatai, the king of Raoyu County.

Faintly, Tan Tai had already anticipated a possibility, but he was not sure.

Ningyuan City, Jiliao Governor's Mansion.

Abatai's face turned pale, and the Sony and Hong Chengchou around him, as well as Zu Zerun, the owner of the Yellow Banner of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhiyuan, the owner of the Yellow Banner, and Wu Shoujin, the owner of the Red Flag Banner, were also silent.

The battle in Jinzhou City is already known to Abatai, but the situation of the battle has not yet been known.

The city of Jinzhou was suddenly attacked by the Zheng army, this news made Abatai feel shocked, his attention was completely in the direction of Shanhaiguan, the Zheng family army led by Zheng Xunrui, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, has set off from Shanhaiguan, Qiantun has been occupied by the Zheng army, the Eight Banners Army stationed in Qiantun has long been quickly withdrawn to Gaotai Fort, Abatai's order has also been issued, the Eight Banners Army stationed in Qiantun and Gaotai Fort, all withdrawn to Ningyuan, Abatai decided to resist the Zheng army in Ningyuan.

At this time, news came from Jinzhou that it was attacked by the Zheng family's army.

If Jinzhou is lost, what it means, Abatai knows.

Just when everyone was still hesitating. The soldiers came in to report that they were the first-class Lazhang Jing Tan Tai who guarded the city of Jinzhou and the Han Eight Banners with white flags, Ba Yan, who came to Ningyuan City.

Abatai couldn't stand up, it stands to reason that Tan Tai and Bayan shouldn't leave Jinzhou City, even if they want to report something, they can send other people to come. After all, both of them are the chief officials guarding Jinzhou, and when they leave Jinzhou City, it is equivalent to giving up their positions.

In such a situation, there is only one possibility, that is, the city of Jinzhou has been occupied by the Zheng family's army.

Tan Tai and Bayan quickly entered the wing, and there was not the slightest blood on their faces.

Before Abatai could speak, Tan Tai spoke first.

"King of the county, the city of Jinzhou has been occupied by the Zheng family's army......"

Tan Tai's body shook a little, and his face became extremely ugly.

"Tan Tai. You are my first-class Lazhangjing with the Eight Banners and Yellow Banner, this commander sent you to guard the city of Jinzhou, that is, you are required to defend the city to the death, you lost the city of Jinzhou, do you still have the face to come to Ningyuan City......"

The look on Tan Tai's face did not change.

"The last general came to report the news to the marshal, the last general was defeated, lost the city of Jinzhou, and was willing to accept any punishment. However, the last general must report the battle situation of Jinzhou City to the commander, and the last general still has some estimates. I don't know if it's true or not......"

After all, Abatai is the son of Nurhachi, the elder brother of Huang Taiji, and his majesty is still here, although Tan Tai is a first-class Lazhangjing of the Eight Banners and Yellow Banners, but in front of Abatai, he still does not dare to be arrogant.

Hear Tan Tai say this. Abatai did not pursue the loss of Jinzhou City again.

On the table was a map of Liaodong, which Hong Chengchou had specially asked to prepare.

"It's okay, Ben Shuai won't pursue other matters for the time being, you can talk about the situation of the Battle of Jinzhou."

Tan Tai immediately began to report until he left Tower Hill Castle. There are only more than 10,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners Army who came to Tashan from the direction of Jinzhou, that is to say, nearly 30,000 of the 40,000 people stationed in Jinzhou City are missing, of course, the 2,000 soldiers stationed outside Jinzhou City near the direction of Guangning do not know what the situation is, and it is said that these 2,000 people should not be in danger.

When Tan Tai evacuated from Jinzhou City, the situation was urgent, and there was no time to contact these two thousand people, and when he left Tashan, he had already sent someone to try to contact these two thousand people.

In the process of Tan Tai's telling, the faces of Abatai and the others changed again, they never imagined that the Zheng army only took an hour or so to attack Jinzhou City, and after only one day of fighting, Tan Tai was forced to evacuate Jinzhou City, and in the process of evacuation, he also encountered artillery attacks.

The number of sergeants used by the Zheng family army to attack the city of Jinzhou is at least about 50,000, which is a huge number, and this must be an arrangement made by Zheng Xunrui, not a whim.

The Eight Banners Army lost nearly 30,000 men in the Battle of Jinzhou, a figure that Abatai could hardly accept.

The Eight Banners Army stationed in Liaodong had a total of 150,000 people, and the losses in one battle were close to one-fifth, and if this situation continued, how long could 150,000 people hold out.

What makes it even more difficult for Abatai to accept is that he has an unshirkable responsibility for the loss of Jinzhou City, in fact, before this, there have been sergeants from Gaotaibao and Songshan and other places who have reported that the traces of the Zheng family army have been discovered, but at that time, Abatai's main attention was focused on Shanhaiguan, and he did not pay attention to the situation reported in various places.

This is a huge mistake, so to speak, a fatal one, with consequences that are incalculable and serious.

Abatai's face had turned the color of pork liver.

After Tan Taiyu finished reporting, the room was unusually quiet, no one spoke, and no one would be bored at this time.

Abatai looked at Hong Chengchou, barely thought about it, and spoke coldly.

"Lord Hong, you are a staff officer sent by the emperor, tell me your opinion on the Zheng family's army attacking Jinzhou City."

Hong Chengchou already felt a chill in his body, but in fact, when Tan Taiyu reported the situation, a feeling of impending disaster had already emerged from his mind, and that unforgettable regret filled his entire heart.

Abatai's words made Hong Chengchou's body tremble slightly.

He looked at the map on the table and spoke with difficulty, his voice slightly hoarse.

"The Zheng family's army's move to occupy the city of Jinzhou is obviously intended to completely block all places from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan......"

Hong Chengchou's words have already explained everything.

Abatai's face instantly turned pale, in fact, he also thought of this, the Zheng family's army was close and far, and suddenly launched a large-scale attack on Jinzhou, it was by no means a boring move, people were thinking of closing the gate of the Guanning Jin defense line, and the goal of the people was the 150,000 Eight Banner Army stationed between Qiantun and Jinzhou.

Zheng Xunrui's appetite is too great, not only thinking about recovering Liaodong, but also to exterminate the 150,000 Eight Banners Army under his command, at least from the current situation, Zheng Xunrui's strategy is completely correct, Abatai has lost nearly 30,000 people in Jinzhou, and the city of Jinzhou has been firmly occupied by the Zheng army.

After Hong Chengchou finished speaking, Abatai, whose eyes were red, spoke again.

"Lord Hong, how do you think this commander should deal with the loss of Jinzhou City?"

The room became quiet again, this is a matter of life and death, you must know the news that Abatai got that Qiantun has been lost, and all the soldiers stationed in Gaotai Fort will also withdraw to Ningyuan City, then the Zheng family army led by Zheng Xunrui, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, can drive straight into attack Ningyuan City, and the only way to resolve the Jinzhou crisis is to send a large army to defeat the Zheng family army and recapture the Jinzhou city, so that the army can be safely evacuated without being able to resist the attack of the Zheng army.

Hong Chengchou's expression also became difficult, and he thought of all this.

The advantage that the Eight Banners Army can rely on is the city, if it fights with the Zheng Army in the field, its sharp artillery is difficult for the Eight Banners Army to resist, in this case, if the Eight Banners Army loses the city of Ningyuan and cannot conquer Jinzhou, it will face a catastrophe.

Zheng Xunrui was too powerful to make such an arrangement, and the coach of Liaodong, Abatai, did not expect it at all, and even Huang Taiji in Shenyang was not able to take this into account.

Hong Chengchou didn't dare to make suggestions casually, at this time, if he was a little careless, he put forward a bad suggestion, and disaster followed.

"Dashuai, the situation is sudden, and the minion hasn't thought about it carefully......"

Before Hong Chengchou could finish speaking, Abatai began to roar.

"Hong Chengchou, that is a staff officer sent by the emperor, such a major matter, you haven't thought about it well, what is the use of this commander asking you to be a staff officer, the emperor thinks that you are a Han person, and you understand the habits of the Han people, so he will let you come to Liaodong to serve as a staff officer, otherwise what will the emperor keep you for, you and Zheng Xunrui once fought side by side, you won't think about surrendering at this time......"

Abatai's anger had no place to vent, only to target Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou of Jin after surrendering, the only thing he can do at this moment is to endure it, he is a Han man who surrendered to Jin, he has no status in the Great Qing Dynasty, it is nothing more than a remnant of life.

Hong Chengchou's face turned pale, his body shook slightly, and his biting lips became blood stains.

That's when Sony spoke.

"Marshal, the matter has come to this, the last general thinks that it is better to carefully consider the next step, how to resolve the current crisis is the most important, the last general believes that this matter should be reported to the emperor quickly, and before the emperor's will comes, make all preparations for response."

Sony is the second-class armor of the Zhenghuang Banner, Lazhangjing, but he has a more special identity, that is, the personal guard next to Huang Taiji, and it is precisely for this reason that Abatai is still more polite to Sony.

Among the people in the wing, the only one who can speak to dissuade Abatai from calming down is Sony, Tan Tai has just suffered a defeat and is not qualified to speak, and the rest of the Han Eight Banner Banner owners are even more difficult to speak, if Abatai opens his mouth to scold them, they can only bear it.

Sony's words calmed down a little.

He looked at the people in the room and spoke again.

"Sonny and Tan Tai stayed, and the rest all left." (To be continued.) )
