In the face of the plea of the five people, looking at the five people who still looked pale after a night of treatment and repair, especially Cao Bianjiao, Cui Zongyin, and Man Ada, they were obviously injured, but they still kept their backs straight.

Yuan Chonghuan waved his hand to signal them to continue to treat their injuries in the clean and tidy wounded camp in Ningyuan City, and once again devoted all his energy to the Jinzhou battle situation, which was still heating up and changing more and more rapidly.

In the previous ten years of the Mingjin War, the Ming army had the painful experience of being surrounded and sent for reinforcements too many times.

Fushun, Salhu, it's all right.

The Qi family army and the white pole soldiers who folded on the bank of the Hunhe River outside Liaoyang City were the death of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Because they are the Southern Army!

The reason why even the southern army had to rush to the battlefield in Liaodong is self-evident!

That is, the brave northern armies of the Ming Dynasty have almost been wiped out, and all of them are buried in Liaodong!

Therefore, Sun Chengzong's original intention of building the Guanning defense line was to build a large number of fortresses on this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack western Liaoning corridor.

It is not only used for the purpose of garrisoning troops and food, but also can eliminate the Jurchens with extremely strong mobility from the space, and implement the usual trick of encircling and sending reinforcements.

After Ningyuan's victory, Yuan Chonghuan extended the Guanning defense line to the Jinzhou line at the same time, and issued a very clear military order in the army: "If Jiannu attacks, the defenders of each fort and walled city only need to stick to their respective stations, fortify the walls and clear the wilderness, and wait for Jiannu to work in vain, the soldiers will be exhausted, and they can retreat gloomily."

It is strictly forbidden to attack without authorization, and it is even more forbidden to make reinforcements without authorization, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Jiannu cavalry, so as to break each one. If there is a violation, the punishment will be severe. ”

In the Guanning army, few people dared to disobey Yuan Chonghuan's military orders, because he was a stinky guy who was stunned and even the deputy commander-in-chief said that he would cut it.

Zhao Shujiao is even the Ming army that believes in agricultural civilization, whether it is the ability to maneuver or the speed of assembly, or the degree of tacit understanding between the army and the army, it cannot be compared with the Jurchen Eight Banners of "going out for the army and entering for the people".

Even the Guanning army, which had undergone hard training and was tested by the battle of Ningyuan, was slightly inferior.

However, Zhao Shujiao, who has completed several life transformations, really has no way to save the extremely hateful ancestor barbarian after learning that the outer city of Jinzhou has fallen, the whole city is besieged, and it may be overturned at any time.

Therefore, when Ah Shan felt that the early stage was almost paved, he sent a few soldiers with red flag banners who were unfavorable in battle, and brought a dozen serf soldiers as messengers to persuade him to surrender, and went up to Songshan to give an ultimatum to Zhao Shujiao.

This man, who was indifferent on the outside, but was actually extremely fiery in his heart, angrily beheaded all the messengers, and left the headless corpses from Songshan Fort, and hung the severed heads on the city gates.

At the same time, he strictly ordered the two dogs and three blacks on the left and right arms, divided into 3,000 foot soldiers, to continue to hold on to the second fort of Songxing, and earnestly instructed that unless he came to the fort in person, he would not be able to reinforce him, and he would fight to the last soldier, and he would not raise the fort and surrender.

And he himself quickly gathered the 3,000 young Guan Ning Iron Cavalry belonging to him, who were about to be suffocated by the second fort, and resolutely went down the mountain fort and rushed to Jinzhou to help.

The core of these 3,000 young iron horsemen is, of course, the remnants of the bloody battle who followed him to aid Juehua in the past.

Therefore, the degree of elite is no less than that of the Guanning Iron Cavalry under Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou, and Man Gui.

Ah Shan thought that the most likely thing for Zhao to teach was to continue to retreat in Songshan Fort and Xingshan Fort.

After all, since the absolute Ming army such as the Qi family army and the white pole soldiers, they were all lost on the Liaodong battlefield that rushed to help, but the local Liao soldiers only watched their annihilation.

The mutual rescue that the Ming army was keen on was almost extinct.

Jinzhou is an extension of the so-called Guanning defense line, and it is also the largest and strongest frontier stronghold, once lost, then Songshan Fort and Xingshan Fort will not be able to support this northern section of the defense line newly repaired by Yuan Chonghuan.

Then, it is not impossible for Zhao Shujiao to surrender the fort before the city of Jinzhou was broken.

Even if he doesn't surrender, it's good to scare him, and it's good to make him dare not send troops to rescue.

But what Ah Shan never expected was that everyone who came to Guanning, whether they were driven from the northeast or rushed to help from Guannei, was born stubborn.

Coupled with the two red flag forces after the huge losses, they are already stretched.

It is necessary not only to continue to block the Ningyuan Gate of Jinzhou to prevent the outer city from being recaptured to ensure the hard-won fruits of victory, but also to divide forces to prevent Zu Dashou from sending troops to attack from the south gate and even the west gate of Jinzhou to cut off Huang Taiji's retreat.

Therefore, the thoughtful Ah Shan, who only did not take into account that Zhao Shujiao was worthy of the word "rate" in his name, and really believed in the clumsy plan that obviously disturbed his army's morale, and he actually stubbornly and frankly led the army to help.

Ah Shan did not set up ambushes along the way, but arranged a lot of scouts, but none of them escaped the "rush" of the strikers led by Zhao Rate's sect.

This person also had the reputation of Kunpeng in the Guanning army, and it was not until he was only ten miles away from Jinzhou that he was shocked by Ah Shan's Chinese army scouts.

After receiving the military report, Ah Shan was shocked, and while sending scouts to continue listening, he quickly prepared to respond.

But he didn't want Zhao Shujiao to be stunned, so he didn't even have the most basic wait-and-see, but he just found out the most basic military deployment of Ashan, so he launched a brazen attack on the periphery of the south gate of Jinzhou, where his troops were weak.

"Kill!" All of a sudden, shouting to kill the heavens.

This sudden earth-shattering shout of killing also shocked Zhu Mei's headquarters stationed in the Guanning Army in Jinzhou's southern city, and he thought that Huang Taiji's two yellow flags had suddenly returned from Ningyuan, so he was inevitably panicked for a moment.

However, Zhu Mei and his subordinates soon heard clearly that these shouts and killings that rushed into the sky were formed by pure Chinese, so they were all overjoyed, but they thought that it was Ningyuan's Guan Ning army that killed Huang Taiji's two yellow flags to annihilate the whole army, and then came to the aid with the power of total victory.

However, when you look closely, the cavalry that rushed first, although they were drenched in the rain, were still fluttering in the wind with the impact of the war horses, and the battle flag was engraved with a simple and vigorous "Zhao" character.

"It's Zhao Xilong! It's Zhao Rate! ”

Zhu Mei, whose military rank is not as high as Zhao's teaching, but whose qualifications are older than him, was both happy and surprised, and shouted loudly, "This Zhao Er is stunned", and then made people fly to report the ancestor's birthday, and at the same time calmly made preparations, so that he could go out of the city at any time to respond.

Over the past few days, as the Jurchen offensive has been weakening and even declining, under Huang Zongxi's skillful dispatch, the Guanning army in Jinzhou has actually defended the city well.

The idea of defending and counterattacking in Zu Dashou's heart is getting stronger and stronger.

And as the war lasted longer and longer, the morale of the Jurchens became weaker and weaker.

Chongzhen and other backbone generals are no longer blindly opposed, but judge the situation with Zu Dashou, reorganize the army, and are always ready to go out of the city to counterattack.

When he learned that Ah Shan was going to break through the outer city of Jinzhou and vigorously publicize it, the only thing Zu Dashou was worried about was Zhao Shujiao, who was coordinating the defense of Songxing Second Fort.

I'm afraid that he is still stunned like a young man chasing the wind in the past, saying that he will rush to Qiantun, saying that he will reinforce Ning Yuan, and he will reinforce Juehua.

He also sent many scouts to try to break through the scout blockade arranged by Ah Shan to remind the "Zhao Er stunned", but without exception, there was no return, and there was no news.

In desperation, Zu Dashou had to send someone to take a detour over the mountains and mountains, talking better than nothing, but begging for time to come up.

And just when the dozen or so best scouts, who were not afraid of the obstacles and long, climbed all the way to Songshan Fort, Zhao led his subordinates to set off to aid Jinzhou, and it had been ten days.

Zhao Ergou held Zu Dashou's generals and handwritten letters, even though he was extremely worried, he could only follow Zhao Shujiao's strict orders with tears in his eyes, stick to Songshan, and not attack or reinforce.

However, the scout captain named Yuan Lao Wu has received real devil training, and he has been back and forth with Houjin scouts on the Liaozuo battlefield, and his vision is far better than that of ordinary Guanning soldiers.

But he felt that at this time and at that time, under the current war situation, instead of sitting and waiting to die, it was better to fight his mother vigorously, even if it was death, he would die with blood.

Zhao Ergou was inspired by him, and he was deeply worried about Zhao Shujiao's comfort, and Zhao Sanhei, the guard of Xingshan Fort, who heard the news, agreed with him.

But it is impossible to give up the second fort and pour out of the nest, and it is impossible for the two of them to leave their posts without permission.

So as soon as the inspiration moved, they each divided into 500 soldiers, and asked Yuan Lao and other scouts to follow the marching track of Zhao Shujiao, advance at full speed, do their best, and obey the destiny of heaven.

As excellent scouts, Yuan Laowu and others, although they have never had the experience of commanding so many soldiers, they are still in ecstasy, patting their thick chests to ensure that Zhao Shujiao, the "rushing general" of the Guanning Army, will be safe and sound.

Time is of the essence, and there is no room for too many pleasantries.

After saying goodbye, Yuan Lao Wu took a thousand Guanning soldiers from Songxing Erbao to rush towards Jinzhou with the spirit of "soaring thin waves" and "walking mud pills", and with the speed of scouts coming and going like the wind.

Besides, under the city of Jinzhou, the offensive and defensive battles that had been tepidly delayed for several days were tepidly delayed, and with the sudden killing of Zhao Shujiao, it once again stirred up thousands of waves, and layer upon layer, layer by layer, as if it was endless.

Ah Shan never allowed Zhao to quickly kill through the red flag military fortress outside the Yong'an Gate in Jinzhou, so as to rush into the city to join Zu Dashou, so he quickly responded.

On the one hand, he strictly ordered more than 1,000 strong foot soldiers of the Zhenghong Banner, supervised all the Han serf army, and stared at the east gate of Jinzhou to prevent it from taking the opportunity to recover the outer city.

On the one hand, he personally commanded the remaining Zhenghongqi cavalry, and pounced on the south gate of Jinzhou with great momentum, and had the intention of uniting and struggling to prevent the impact of Zhao Shujiao's red flag, and strangled Zhao Shujiao outside the Yong'an Gate in the southern city of Jinzhou.
