Nurhachi's original intention was to besiege the city for reinforcements, but after a few days of siege, Wang Huazhen's reinforcements still did not arrive, and the food and grass they brought were limited, so they could only attack the city.

It was not Wang Huazhen's far-sighted plan to exhaust the enemy, but the defenders of the cities were afraid of being ambushed and did not dare to send troops to rescue.

The 10,000 soldiers and civilians of Xiping Fort have been guarding for more than ten days, the gunpowder has been used up, and the cannons and bird guns have become decorations. I had to dig up the rocks on the high ground in the fort as weapons.

The carpenters in the fort made trebuchets day and night, used the beams and pillars, cut down all the trees in the fort, and even the pots and pots became tools for holding gravel, as long as the stone thrower kept throwing rubble, it could prevent Jiannu from entering the city.

The number of soldiers and soldiers killed and wounded in Jiannu has exceeded the number of soldiers and civilians defending the city, and Nurhachi, who has never suffered a loss, is heartbroken and can no longer attack the city, the smaller the city, the easier it is to defend, and too many siege personnel can not be used.

Then he adopted Huairou strategies such as encircling but not fighting, shouting and surrendering, and in the face of the Houjin army tree flag surrendering and sending an envoy to surrender, Luo has always refused.

Wang Huazhen was a little flustered and at a loss, she couldn't sleep and eat all day and kept walking around, she didn't know what to say, she had a strange temper, she trained people at every turn, and her subordinates didn't dare to report anything.

On the other hand, Xiong Tingbi is relatively stable, and he sent people to contact Wang Huazhen several times, and he must not concentrate his forces to fight hard with Jiannu, although the number of Ming troops is large, but they cannot be twisted together, and they are far from cooperating with each other.

He believed that Luo Zheng, who had not yet taken Xiping Fort, should be transferred to support the surrounding troops and horses, and repeatedly harassed and lured the enemy army, but he should not put on a decisive battle posture to avoid a one-time decisive victory in the field.

Wang Huazhen understood it, but he didn't know what to do, but the front line was under his control. The coach was in a hurry, and his generals were also affected by him and lacked confidence.

Fortunately, the imperial court had more trust in Xiong Tingbi before, so Xiong Tingbi also had military power.

Emperor Apocalypse decreed that the war must obey Xiong Jinglue's orders, and he could only become Yuan Yingtai's second.

[In view of the general environment,

Wang Huazhen, whose mind was like a mess, suddenly sobered up a lot when she saw the edict of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, it turned out that she did not have the ability to command the army to fight, and she wanted to die by slapping her swollen face and pretending to be fat.

At the critical moment, Xiong Tingbi was overjoyed after reading the letter from the imperial court, knowing that the most powerful reinforcements were coming as quickly as possible.

In fact, the letter from the imperial court was just to stabilize Xiong Tingbi's situation, Wang Hongyu knew that Luo, who only had 3,000 soldiers, had always had to hold Xiping Fort It was indeed not easy, and he only defended it for a few days in history before he was breached in the small city.

Before the war, Wang Hongyu informed the bald old Tan to send someone to Xipingbao to find Luo Cheng and establish a carrier pigeon station.

Luo has always played at a super level like a divine help, holding Xiping Fort with 3,000 Ming troops, with military supplies mobilized by Lao Tan in advance, as well as carpenters and timber for trebuchets and stone throwers.

What made Luo always feel even more reassured was that he knew that the young general Wu Xun, who led them to defeat Nurhachi repeatedly, supported him behind him, and Wang Hongyu's invincible image became his reassurance to defend Xiping Fort.

Luo has always used carrier pigeons to contact Wang Hongyu several times, and each time he can make Luo always gain something, and in nearly half a month of defending the city, Luo has always been able to grow rapidly in military talent.

How could Wang Hongyu have the time to bring the most powerful soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty from thousands of miles away, it was just a strategy to stabilize the morale of the army, and the psychological effect of people was very great.

Wang Hongyu has arrived at Shanhaiguan, and there are only two of the four guards in his hands, as well as 3,000 soldiers and horses drawn from Jizhen, adding up to more than 10,000 people.

Only the Tengxiang Siwei and Jizhen soldiers and horses closest to Shanhaiguan were dispatched for emergency purposes, and Tengxiang Siwei had the newly wounded veterans of the Southern Army who joined the army as the main cadres last year, and it is no longer what it used to be, and the one-year compulsory reorganization training has achieved initial results.

The combat strength of the deployment is second only to the Nine-Border Army, and the organization and discipline are far better than the 9,000 people in the Tengxiang Four Guards of the Nine-Border Army, as well as the 3,000 battalions of Jizhen who have received special training.

These 12,000 soldiers are considered a good combat power, and Wang Hongyu is sure to use this elite to defeat the Jiannu army of the two banners.

Xiong Tingbi of Shanhaiguan is also ready to attack together.

When Wang Hongyu led 12,000 strong troops to Shanhaiguan to join Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Tingbi also gathered 8,000 soldiers from Liaoxi and Jizhen to prepare for departure.

The two gathered troops and horses and went north to support Wang Huazhen.

Obviously, Xiong Tingbi was not satisfied with the "strong army" brought by Wang Hongyu, but he knew that it was impossible to gather the Hunhe Army and the Nine Border Army in a short period of time, not only did it cost a lot of money and food, but it was impossible to complete it in half a year.

Xiong Tingbi regretted that there was no Hunhe Army to support the soldiers and horses, and he also regretted that the elites of Xuanfu and Baoding did not come.

He was very worried about whether Luo would be able to support them until they arrived, and he was worried about whether Wang Huazhen would harass Jiannu in his own way to relieve the pressure on the defenders of Xipingbao.

Wang Hongyu was very determined, and instead talked about the matter of the governor of Zhilu.

Wang Hongyu found that Xiong Tingbi, the pillar of the Ming Dynasty who is both civil and military, has a whiter beard than last year, and his tall body is also a little awkward, and Xiong Tingbi has been very aggrieved this year.

In order to reassure Xiong Tingbi, Wang Hongyu deliberately did not talk about Liaodong affairs, and made a confident appearance, trying to make this old-timer who was emaciated for state affairs relax his mind.

Wang Hongyu told Xiong Tingbi about the incident of Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, coastal defense and the incident of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong, as well as the support of Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang for Dengzhou, and then asked Yuan Keli to vigorously support Liaodong.

To integrate the forces of Shandong and Southern Zhili to support Yuan Keli in Dengzhou, and then to support Liaodong, then the figure of the governor of Zhilu was about to come out, and he also talked about the selection of candidates by the imperial court.

In the past ten days, the imperial court discussed a suitable candidate, and finally Han Jun, the governor of Baoding, was promoted to the governor of the military department and the governor of Zhilu.

Xiong Tingbi knew that such a move could only be thought of by the young martial artist next to him, and he admired Wang Hongyu's foresight, Wang Hongyu's performance in more than a year was too good, which really made Xiong Tingbi embarrassed in comparison.

！？

Xiong Tingbi felt that at this critical moment, how could a great talent like Han Jun leave Baoding and go to other positions instead?

A large part of the troops, grain and grass, and armament of the war in Liaodong need the support of Baoding, and Han Jun has made too many contributions to the imperial court in the past two or three years, and can also ensure the prosperity and stability of Baoding.

And Han Jun is a native of Shandong, so it is not suitable to serve in Shandong, why is this governor of Zhilu Han Jun in the end?

Being an official in a different place is a principle that has been followed by all dynasties, and being an official in a local area involves many people with sophistication, which is a rule that everyone abides by, and breaking this rule will play a bad example.

Wang Hongyu laughed: "Hu Zongxian is a native of Nanzhili Shexian County, but he served as the governor of Zhizhejiang to defeat the Japanese Kou. The Governor's Mansion of the Governor of Zhejiang is in Zhejiang, not in his hometown of Nanzhili. The Governor's Mansion of Zhilu can be located in Xuzhou, not in his hometown of Zibo. Han Jun doesn't need to avoid suspicion, but can play a better role."

Listening to Wang Hongyu's philosophical new assertions, Xiong Tingbi, an all-rounder with both civil and military skills, doubted that the rising talent around him was far better than himself.
