The land of eastern Liaodong is full of messes, on the land of ice and snow, hundreds of tun villages are burning, and the Ming army is galloping across the Liaohe Plain.

At this time, the situation in the land of Jinggi in the Ming Dynasty was similar to that of Liaodong, and it was not allowed to be conceded much.

Because Sun Chuanting returned to the defense with the Liao army infantry in time and stationed between Beijing and Tongzhou, Huang Taiji did not choose to attack Beijing City or Sun Chuanting's camp, but took the army to bypass Beijing, crossed the Yongding River, and plundered Jingnanzhou County.

On November 23, Fangshan was breached, and on November 25, Gu'an County was breached, and then the troops were divided into two routes, with Dai Shan leading the left wing of the four banners to attack Bazhou and Hejian, and Huang Taiji himself leading the right wing of the four banners to attack Zhuozhou and Baoding.

Then there was a big battle with the Ming army in Zhuozhou, and in addition to the local army of Zhuozhou, there were 5,000 Henan Qinwang troops in the city.

However, the offensive of the Eight Banners was extremely fierce, the archers and arrows were like locusts, and the Ming army at the head of the city could not raise their heads, and the white-armored guards climbed along the ladder with sharp blades, one by one wearing three layers of armor, and they were not afraid of the bow and arrow at the head of the city, and the three-layer heavy armor was not easy to penetrate even if the Ming army's guns could not penetrate easily.

These white-armored soldiers are the most elite warriors of Jiannu, most of them are from Haixi and the savage Jurchen, living in the land of white mountains and black waters, and they make a living by fighting bears in winter. In terms of physique and force, the Ming army was almost unrivaled by them.

A white-armored soldier climbed up to the top of the city, waved a big knife in his hand, cut off several spears that stabbed at him, and then pounced on the Ming army like a tiger pounced on a sheep.

At the critical juncture, a Ming army with more than a dozen soldiers launched a counterattack against the white-armored soldier, and the knives and guns continued to fall on the white-armored soldier, but they could not break through the heavy armor defense at all, and every time the white-armored soldier waved a big knife, he would kill a Ming soldier.

Seeing that the situation was critical, a Ming soldier picked up a hook sickle, hooked the feet and necks of the white armor soldiers, dragged it hard, and overturned the white armor soldiers to the ground at once, and then several Ming soldiers swooped over, pressing the arms and thighs of the white armor soldiers, and then a Ming army raised a short knife and stabbed the white armor soldiers into the eyes, and the blade penetrated deep into the brain, and the white armor soldiers stopped struggling.

However, when the defenders were entangled with the white armor soldiers, more Eight Banner soldiers rushed to the head of the city, some were killed by the Ming army, and some Eight Banner soldiers firmly guarded a battlement wall, and more Eight Banner soldiers climbed up the city along the ladder.

The Eight Banners soon occupied a section of the city wall more than two zhang wide, and one hundred and ten Eight Banners battalion soldiers, led by a dozen white-armored soldiers, launched a fierce attack on the city walls on both sides, and then the defenders collapsed and fled down the road to the city, and Zhuozhou City fell.

Huang Taiji ordered the slaughter of the old and weak in the city, leaving only the young and strong men and women, and escorted back to the customs to be slaves.

However, because of the fierce resistance encountered in Zhuozhou, Huang Taiji did not dare to lead the army to continue south, Daming was too big, and he did not want to go too deep.

The rice should be eaten in one bite, and the Ming Kingdom and Gyeonggi should be slaughtered and robbed first, and the looted people, grain, cattle and sheep wealth should be returned to Guanwai.

Under the leadership of Dai Shan, the left-wing Eight Banners broke through Bazhou and defeated the soldiers of King Qin of Shandong, and also stopped north of Baiyangdian.

Just when tens of thousands of Eight Banners were sweeping back the looted population wealth, the first wave of messengers sent by Amin arrived, bringing the news that the Ming army had sent troops to attack southern Liaoning, and that Derge had been defeated in Haizhou.

"The Derge class is really a waste, and even more than 10,000 Ming troops can't deal with it." Mang Gurtai said with a big grin.

Huang Taiji also had anger in his heart, most of the Liaoxi soldiers of the Ming State were taken outside Beijing by Sun Chuanting, and it was only the Dongjiang soldiers of Guanglu Island who attacked Liaonan, as well as thousands of cavalry in Liaoxi, and Derge led eight thousand banners to the south, and was defeated by such a Ming army, what is it if it is not a waste?

However, with Amin here, the Ming army will not be able to become any climate!

Huang Taiji knew that the purpose of the Ming army's attack on southern Liaoning was nothing more than to encircle Wei to save Zhao and force himself to return to the division.

Can't go back now? Of course not! Now he has robbed several counties south of Beijing, and plundered more than 100,000 young people of the Ming Kingdom, and this harvest is far from satisfying Huang Taiji.

So Huang Taiji ordered the army to return to the outside of Beijing, and then attack Yongping Mansion east of Beijing.

However, when he returned to the division, the sentry came to report, saying that Sun Chuanting led the Liaoxi soldiers to block the Lugou Bridge and confronted him across the Yongding River.

Huang Taiji sneered. It has entered the cold winter wax moon, the Yongding River has been frozen, and he can choose a place to cross the Yongding River on the ice at will, how can Sun Chuanting's 40,000 Liaoxi soldiers be able to prevent it?

Huang Taiji is very clear about Sun Chuanting's current situation, the Eight Banners army crisscrossed the south of Beijing, slaughtered four or five prefectures and counties, killed hundreds of thousands of Ming people, captured more than 100,000 Ming people as slaves, and the entire southern part of Gyeonggi was almost in ruins.

Huang Taiji was very happy to see the current situation, and he hoped that Sun Chuanting would not be able to hold his breath and take the initiative to lead his troops to attack him.

If you can defeat Sun Chuanting and annihilate the Liaoxi Army outside this Beijing city, even if you can't defeat Beijing City, the elite of the Ming Kingdom will be empty!

The Liaoxi soldiers are the most elite army of the Ming Kingdom, without these 40,000 Liaoxi soldiers, what will the Ming Kingdom do to defend the hundreds of miles of Liaoxi Corridor?

Therefore, Huang Taiji ordered the army to cross the Yongding River a few miles east of the camp of the Liaoxi soldiers, so as to attract Sun Chuanting to lead the Liaoxi soldiers to attack. In order to arouse Sun Chuanting's anger, Huang Taiji even ordered the execution of more than 1,000 Ming people who were caught on the Yongding River, and the blood stained the entire Yongding River.

However, until all the Eight Banners army crossed the river, the Liaoxi soldiers actually retreated in the camp and did not move, which made Huang Taiji very disappointed.

"Sun Chuanting can really bear it!" Looking at the Ming army camp in the distance, Huang Taiji sighed.

"Great Khan, if you want me to say let's just wave our troops and attack directly, just outside the city of Beijing, annihilate these tens of thousands of Liaoxi soldiers in one fell swoop!" Mang Gurtai suggested.

"Yes, Great Khan, the opportunity must not be lost, after annihilating these tens of thousands of Liaoxi soldiers, we can capture Jinzhou Ningyuan and occupy the entire Liaoxi Corridor when we turn back, and we will not have to make a detour to attack the Ming Kingdom in the future." Dai Shan also said.

When the Liaoxi soldiers hid in the tall city wall of Ningyuan in Jinzhou, everyone had no way to deal with them. can only hit the head under the city of Jinzhou in Ningyuan again and again. Now that the main forces of the Liaoxi soldiers are all here, they have no heavy city defense to rely on, only a simple camp wall, and all the banner owners Baylor are moved, and they all feel that they can't miss this golden opportunity!

Huang Taiji was also very moved, he quickly calculated the gains and losses, and finally decided that he would have a big battle with the Liaoxi soldiers on the Yongding River to annihilate the most elite army of the Ming Kingdom, for which Huang Taiji was willing to pay a certain number of casualties.

However, just when Huang Taiji was about to make a move against the Liaoxi military camp, another messenger came from Liaodong, bringing news that surprised Huang Taiji!
