On the eve of Hauge's march to Kaesong, the second wave of Korean envoys entered Liaodong, and when they passed through Phoenix, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the Ming army had recovered Phoenix, and there were still a large number of garrisons in the city.

Immediately knock at the door and ask for an audience.

What surprised them even more was that the army in the city actually came to rescue North Korea. Immediately after entering the city, he hurried to the place where the king was. The first batch of North Korean envoys rushed to inquire about the situation in the country. The two classes communicated for a while, and they couldn't help but hug their heads and cry.

When King Ding learned of this, he quickly summoned the Korean envoys.

"His Royal Highness King Ding, the Jurchens have discovered our king's decision to return to the Ming Dynasty, and they have sent troops south a few days ago!"

King Ding was also shocked when he heard it: "So fast! To the south of Uiju is Longchuan Castle, and further south is Xuanchuan Castle. Where are Jianyu trapped now? ”

"Under the raid of the Jianyu, our country is defenseless, and they have taken these two cities." The North Korean envoy replied.

"Then Jianyu is in Guoshan now?" King Ding asked, seeing that the Korean envoy's face was wrong, he asked again: "Dingzhou?" ”

The North Korean envoy said with some embarrassment: "These two cities have also been lost, and when we set off, Jianyu had already captured Anzhou!" ”

King Ding listened in disbelief and turned his head to look at Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui's face did not change, as if he had known that this would be the case, "How many days have you been on your journey?" ”

"Four days!"

Wu Sangui pondered for a moment, "Then now, Jianyu Bacheng is approaching Kaicheng!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the two groups of North Korean envoys who rescued them were in tears.

King Ding was speechless, "Isn't there only 10,000 horses in Jianyu?" ”

"We don't know how many people there are in Jianguo, but we only know that Jianyu is radically going south and killing countless of our people!"

The messenger wept.

"My king has resolved to stand by for help, and would rather die than surrender to Jianlu again. Our king has already set a strategy to go to Namhansan Mountain Fortress to hold on, but looking at the offensive of Jianyu, it is difficult for my king to resist for a long time, so I implore His Royal Highness King Dingwang to send troops to rescue him quickly! ”

Several Korean envoys were crying, and King Ding was a little crying and laughing, "Don't worry, after discussing with Liaodong Hou and others, you will send troops as soon as possible!" Come, take them down. ”

Where is the Korean envoy willing to go, hearing this, he howled even more, "His Royal Highness Dingwang should not discuss, for the sake of our country's heart to the Ming Dynasty, I will send troops into the court today to solve the danger of my king and the difficulty of our country!"

You must know that the Jurchens do not preach morality and often slaughter cities, and I am afraid that in a few days at night, the Korean people will inevitably bleed into a river, and the country will not be a country! ”

King Ding was a little tired of hearing them crying, "What are you doing in a daze?" Take them down! ”

When the words fell, he turned around and left.

Wu Sangui and the others immediately followed and went to the account together.

"No waiting!" King Ding didn't wait for Wu Sangui and the others to speak, and spoke directly, "Tomorrow, pull out the camp and go straight to Yizhou!" ”

Chen Yongfu stopped, "The minister suggested that we investigate first, so as not to fall into the scheme!" In case there is an ambush ahead, the consequences are unimaginable! ”

"Send someone to investigate immediately, and the army will advance slowly, at least to Zhenjiang Fort first!" The king decreed.

Wu Sangui looked at the slightly immature King Ding, and had a premonition in his heart, "The next ten years will definitely be ten years of competition between King Ding and the crown prince!" ”

The next day the army marched eastward,

In order to ensure the safe eastward advance of the 30,000 army, to be precise, in order to ensure the safe eastward advance of King Ding, Wu Sangui sent 5,000 Ming troops as scouts to investigate various valleys and dense forests, and check for all possible ambushes.

You must know that King Ding is in the army, and he can't make any mistakes.

But King Ding has three longs and two shorts, and his Wu Sangui's military exploits in the past few decades will be cleared.

Wu Sangui had to raise the spirit of twelve points and eliminate all hidden dangers.

As for the non-war attrition caused by this, it doesn't matter.

……

Just when King Ding rushed to Zhenjiang Fort, Haoge had already crossed Kaesong and went straight to Namhansan Fortress.

North Korea is facing another catastrophe after two indiscriminate uprisings.

To say that it is a catastrophe is not entirely true.

Because in order to make a comeback in the future, Hauge did not slaughter the city along the way, let alone plunder, and all military operations were aimed at hitting Hanyang and controlling North Korea.

And Li Liang, who fled to the mountain city of Nanhan, was panicked when he learned that the Hauge army was about to arrive, although he knew that the mountain city was arranged with dense defenders, but he was still not at ease, and sent out a fourth wave of messengers for help.

At the insistence of Jin Liu, Li Liang carried a long sword to the city every day, and shouted loudly to the soldiers, saying that he would never give in to the Jurchens, even if Jianlu killed all his sons, he would swear to die and belong to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time asked the soldiers to work together to defend the mountain city!

The pro-Ming ministers burst into tears, and they commanded the soldiers to continuously strengthen the city defenses, make city defense equipment, and prepare to meet the terrible Jurchens.

In the evening, Li Shibai returned to the mountain city with the newly arrived Qinwang soldiers, and in the past few days, he pulled all the grain around Hanyang here, and brought the Qinwang soldiers who had arrived recently back to the mountain city.

He believed that with the food, grass and troops in the city, it would be no problem to support it for half a year.

After listening to Li Shibai's report, Li Liang also had confidence, and climbed to the top of the city again to boost morale, quite a bit of the spirit of the lord of Zhongxing.

Jin Liu looked at the city defense, calculated the time for Haoge to march, and said to Li Shibai: "The city is ready, I don't know if the people of Hanyang can settle down, have they all taken refuge?" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the people of Hanyang City and the surrounding areas have gone to the mountains to take refuge, I believe that Jianyu will not find them!"

"That's good! Most of the soldiers in the city were from civilian backgrounds, and if their families were not safe, it would shake the morale of the soldiers. Jin Liu instructed, "It's a pity that Namhansan City can't accommodate so many people, otherwise, I will definitely have to bring all the people here." ”

At noon the next day, Li Kun, as usual, climbed the castle to boost morale.

Suddenly, the sound of rolling horses' hooves was heard from the northwest.

"Not good, the Jurchen cavalry has arrived!" A soldier shouted.

Li Liang was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he hurriedly went down the city with the hem.

Half an hour later, Hauge's 10,000-strong army set up a posture under the city, and the sound of the soldiers killing the soldiers shook the sky.

Hauge ordered someone to step forward and asked Li Liang to quickly open the city gate and surrender on his knees.

The North Korean soldiers looked at the enemy troops under the city and felt a lot more relieved.

This point of people and horses can't even surround the mountain city, and they will definitely be able to hold it and wait for the Heavenly Master of the Ming Kingdom.

Jin Liu, Li Shibai and others are also a lot more relieved, no matter what, the 20,000 defenders in the city can still do it against the 10,000 cavalry outside the city.

Seeing that Li Liang was afraid, Jin Liu was relieved: "Your Majesty, the cavalry is good at galloping and field battles, but in siege warfare, it is a great loss, and we will definitely be able to hold it." ”

Li Ju only had one sentence: "It's all up to you!" ”

Gu Renyuan was in charge of the city defense, and he saw that there were not many Jurchens, although he was not as optimistic as Jin Liu, but he also felt that he could support it for a while.

At this time, he was patrolling around the city and further boosting morale.

On that day, Hauge continued to attack, and the army was exhausted, and did not attack the city. Instead, they camped on the spot and regained their strength.

Seeing that the Jurchens had set up scattered camps, without even erecting camp walls, Gu Renyuan felt humiliated and excited in his heart.

He suggested to Li Liang to sneak attack at night.

Although Jin Liu and the others felt that they were taking risks, they saw that the Jurchens were tired and felt the need to take risks, so they expressed their support.

At night, Gu Renyuan quietly went out of the city with 3,000 elite soldiers and killed the camp of Jianyu.
