Amin fled back to Liaoyang City with the remnants of his army, dejected and depressed.

"Amma!" Elley greeted him out of the city gates and looked at Amin worriedly, he already knew the news of the defeat.

Amin glanced at his son, pursed his lips and said nothing. Before setting out on the expedition, he was also worried about his son's lack of ability, so he had to lead the army to chase and kill the Ming army, but he didn't expect to be defeated so badly, which made him a little shameless to face Erli.

"Amma, there are still 7,000 bannermen in the city, and more than 10,000 clothed soldiers, we still have a chance." Elli comforted Amin.

Amin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Where is the chance!" ”

The soldiers are all drawn from the army just from the city, at most they are used to help defend the city, and although there are still 7,000 banners in the city, Amin will never dare to take them out again, otherwise Liaoyang City will be extremely empty, and if the Ming army outside the city attacks, what can you resist?

Liaoyang City has no troops to adjust, the last mobile forces are besieging the Ming army's partial division Cao Bianjiao in the Weining battalion, Liaoshen has been unable to draw troops, can only watch the Ming army loot between Liaoshen and Shen, can only watch many villages were broken by the Ming army, countless bannermen were killed, grain and livestock were robbed, and the villages were burned.

As early as when the Ming army broke through Hetuala, they had already sent fast horses to deliver a letter to Huang Taiji, but it is estimated that it will take some time for Huang Taiji to return with the army, and I am afraid that before that time, the vast plain between Liao and Shen will be killed and burned by the damned Ming army.

Without a large number of banner people and people, without many villages, even if you can hold the two cities of Liaoyang and Shenyang, what use can you do?

The Dajin Kingdom is coming to an end, how should I face the returning Great Khan Huang Taiji, and how should I face the returning Eight Banners warriors?

The more I thought about it, the more angry, remorseful, resentful, fearful, all kinds of emotions swirled in Amin's mind, and Amin felt a sweet throat, "Poof"

With a bang, a mouthful of blood spurted out wildly, and he fainted all of a sudden.

"Amma! Hurry up and invite Langzhong! Elley exclaimed, hugging Amin's body.

Lang Zhong was quickly invited, and after a period of tossing, Amin finally came back to life, but he was so weak that he couldn't even get out of bed.

"Erli, quickly send someone to deliver a letter to Derge, so that he will not fight with the Ming army, and lead the troops to return to Shenyang quickly." Amin commanded in a low voice.

"Send someone to the Ming Kingdom to report to the Great Khan as soon as possible, and let the Great Khan return with his troops as soon as possible."

The hinterland of Dajin is about to be emptied by the Ming army, and there is a fart to attack the Ming army's partial division, Shenyang City is now very empty, once Lu Xiangsheng breaks through Lushun Pass, he will go straight down to Shenyang City, and Dege must quickly return to the division to keep Shenyang and keep the last foundation of Dajin Kingdom.

Now the situation is almost out of control, the Ming army is menacing, the strength is far beyond estimates, the Ming army attacking the Dajin country, the total strength of the total strength is at least 60,000 people, only with the remaining banners, can not hold the situation at all. Only the return of Huang Taiji with the army can turn the situation around!

"Yes, Amma!" Allie wept.

More than a dozen horsemen galloped out of the east and west gates of Liaoyang City, and went in the east and west directions respectively, which were the messengers sent to deliver the letter.

It is a long way to go to the territory of the Ming Kingdom, and it is necessary to make a detour through the territory of Mongolia, a journey of more than 1,000 miles, and there is no post station along the way, so it will take at least five or six days to reach the territory of the Ming Kingdom and deliver the letter to Huang Taiji. It is only more than 100 miles away from Weining Camp, although it is all mountain roads, although there is snow on the road, it only takes one day to reach it by horseback.

......

Weining Camp, located on the north bank of the Taizi River, is mountainous in the north and south, there is a mountain road from east to west, the east leads to Qinghe Fort, Yahu Pass, and to the west twenty or thirty miles out of the mountains, to the north can reach Shenyang, and to the west leads to Liaoyang City.

Although it is called Weining Camp, it is actually a small city with a circumference of four miles, with two gates, east and west.

The city was built in the Hongwu period, the reason why the city was built here is because there is high-quality iron ore here, the Ming Dynasty opened the largest iron factory in Liaodong here, with an annual output of fine iron of 10,000 catties!

Cao Bianjiao led two battalions of the Praetorian Guards to march from Yahu Pass, followed the mountain road all the way to the west, and quickly attacked the Weining camp in only two days. In fact, there is a Qinghe Fort between the Weining Camp and the Yahu Pass, but in the forty-sixth year of Wanli, the Qinghe Fort was broken by Nurhachi's troops, and the Ming soldiers and civilians near the Qinghe Fort were slaughtered, and the Qinghe Fort was also destroyed. The population of Jiannu is already sparse, and they don't have the heart to operate the fortress between the mountains, so from Yahu Pass to Weining Camp, there are almost no people, and naturally there is no Jiannu to stop them.

Because Weining Fort is where the iron factory is located, it is highly valued by Jiannu, and there are 500 banners stationed in Weining Fort to defend, and there are more than 1,000 Han blacksmiths in the fort.

After Cao Bianjiao arrived with his troops, he immediately surrounded Fort Weining and began to attack. His strength was more than ten times that of Jiannu, and he had a large number of guns and artillery, so it would naturally not take much time to attack such a small city.

First use the fire gun to suppress the defenders at the head of the city, and then accumulate earth and stones into a mountain, half a day to pile up a mountain of earth and stone higher than the city wall, hundreds of Ming troops stand on the mountain from top to bottom shooting, but also on the mountain to place several Franc machine artillery, the city wall on the wall of the gun to build slaves suffered heavy casualties.

Although the Jiannu bow and arrow are powerful and the accurate rate of fire is fast, the armor-piercing ability is far inferior to the Lu Mi gun in the range, unless it hits the throat and other vital points, for the Praetorian Guards who wear armor by everyone, they can often move freely with a few arrows.

Although the fire rate of the fire gun is not as fast as that of a bow and arrow, its armor-piercing ability is much stronger, and it is enough to penetrate the armor on Jiannu's body within thirty steps. Coupled with the help of several artillery pieces, the Praetorian Guards soon gained the upper hand in the counterfire, and the battlements of the city wall dozens of steps close to the earth and stone mountain were cracked by the artillery, and the Jiannu on the wall was shot and killed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the cannon suppression, the Praetorian Guard quickly climbed the ladder to attack the city wall, and after a fight, they annihilated the Jiannu defenders and occupied the Weining camp.

At this time, the Derge class had just sent troops from Shenyang, and it was still more than a day's journey from the Weining battalion. It was really Derge that the Ming army would break through the Weining camp in such a short time.

Derge originally wanted to rely on the Weining camp city to block the Ming army in the mountain road. Derge himself led 8,000 banners, plus 5,000 banners transferred from Liaoyang, the strength of the Ming army is more than twice that of the Ming army, and it is naturally easy to encircle and destroy the Ming army on the mountain road, and after destroying this Ming army, you can calmly deal with the other two Ming armies, choose one of them, and break them each!

However, the fall of the Weining camp made Derge's mind suddenly come to naught.

Not to mention that the Weining Battalion is the largest iron factory in the Dajin Kingdom, the location is also very important, once this Ming army goes west from the Weining Battalion, it can enter the Liaohe Flat, threatening the foundation of the Dajin Kingdom. So this Ming army must be exterminated!

The day after arriving at the Weining camp, the Derge began the siege.
