Gray skies and heavy snowfall.

Snowflakes fell on the shoulders of the Houjin soldiers and became a snow-white component.

At this time, the Houjin Eight Banners are not like the film and television dramas, with brightly colored armor and unified standards.

The only thing that distinguishes them is the flag.

Everyone's faces were red from the cold.

They didn't seem to feel it, and their hot eyes were focused on the south gate.

Bursts of drums sounded.

All are more focused.

Under the umbrella, Nurhachi's horse appeared in front of the soldiers.

He deliberately controlled the speed of the mounts under him, so that his gaze could sweep the faces of most of the soldiers as much as possible.

At the same time, it also allows the soldiers to see him.

"The soldiers of the Houjin Kingdom!"

Nurhachi rode forward and said loudly: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while, and the time has come to show your ability to kill the enemy!" ”

"Great Khan ......!"

At the instigation of General Houjin, the soldiers shouted in unison.

Nurhachi raised his whip, and the cry immediately stopped.

"Liaoyang is an important town in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty. If you capture Liaoyang, you will be able to go south to attack southern Liaoning, and go east to attack western Liaoning. ”

Nurhachi said in a loud voice: "Wang Huazhen, the governor who stayed in Liaoyang, is bent on destroying us. Today we will let him see who can destroy whom! ”

"Great Khan...... Banzai! ”

The soldiers shouted in unison again.

Nurhachi significantly increased the speed of his mount, reaching the front of the army quickly.

"Under the protection of the gods, all the kings follow me and attack the Ming!"

"Let's go!"

Nurhachi whipped his horse and took the lead.

On the fifth day of December in the first year of the Apocalypse, Nurhachi led the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners to Liaoyang.

Houjin's war machine was launched.

Liaoyang, Liaodong Governor Yamen.

Governor Wang Huazhen was still discussing a letter from Li Yongfang with his generals.

In the letter, Li Yongfang first talked about the deployment of troops in the Later Jin Dynasty and the repeated violations of the Mongols in Inner Khalkha.

He said that he was willing to do internal response and assist Wang Huazhen in recovering Shenyang on the 18th day of the first month of next year. Because Nurhachi was determined to clean up the Mongols, he chose to send troops on this day.

Wang Huazhen frowned and said: "Although Li Yongfang was sincere in his letter, Yang Chengying once told me that Li Yongfang is the first rat at both ends, and he is unwilling to do things that need to be vigorously done. ”

"Lord Governor, Yang Chengying's words can only be half believed. This kid is very cunning, and it is hard to guarantee that he does not want adults to achieve great things. ”

Mao Wenlong came out and analyzed, "After all, the adult succeeded, and it will be his turn next." ”

Wang Huazhen nodded approvingly.

The chief soldier Hou Shilu did not approve, and he came out and said: "The heart of defense is indispensable. It's better to be cautious. ”

Wang Huazhen also agreed.

Jiang Bi asked suspiciously, "Could it be a trick?" Use letters to relax our vigilance, and then take the opportunity to attack Liaoyang. ”

Wang Huazhen waved his hand and said confidently: "I have set up heavy troops in Wujing Camp, Hupiyi and Bailiupu. The three soldiers and horses are deployed in the shape of a zigzag, and they are horns of each other. ”

"It's not easy for the Slave Chief to destroy us. Even if we can't defeat it, we will be able to hold out for a while, and when our army arrives, we will be able to win a great victory with the elite army to defeat the exhausting journey! ”

In the face of the governor's confident analysis, the generals did not show joy, but looked at each other one by one, wanting to speak.

As the governor, Wang Huazhen has always been high, where he has really communicated with his subordinates, even if there is communication, he basically can't listen to it, and always goes his own way.

It seems to confirm the worries in the hearts of the generals.

A herald hurriedly rushed into the yamen of the governor of Liaodong, came to the door of the lobby and knelt on the ground, shouting loudly: "Wujing camp urgent! ”

Wang Huazhen was shocked, Wujing Ying? Could it be that the slave chief really called! Hurriedly said: "Quickly bring the Tang newspaper to me!" ”

As a confidant, Sun Degong quickly came to the door, took the Tang newspaper, walked in front of Wang Huazhen, raised the document with both hands and handed it to Wang Huazhen.

Wang Huazhen took the Tang newspaper and looked at it, her face suddenly changed greatly, and she was stunned: "What? ”

"Governor, what's wrong?" Sun Degong hurriedly asked.

"How can this be reasonable, the guards and soldiers of the Wujing battalion fled without a fight! The Wujing camp was occupied by the slave chiefs effortlessly! ”

Wang Huazhen slammed the Tang newspaper in her hand to the ground.

"What?" "How is that possible?"

Everyone spoke out in disbelief.

Wang Huazhen was so angry that she smacked the table fiercely.

"The Wujing battalion fled without a fight, and the tiger skin post bore the brunt. The defender Luo has always commanded 3,000 elite soldiers, and he should be able to resist for a while. ”

I was angry in the first half, and I lost confidence in the second half.

The generals looked at each other and said in their hearts, the governor can't be serious, right? Three thousand soldiers, and there is no danger pass, how can they resist the tens of thousands of slave chieftains.

But no one dared to talk to him, and it was useless to say it.

Sun Degong guessed Wang Huazhen's mind better than Mao Wenlong, and immediately said loudly: "My lord is wise, Luo has always been a famous general in the Western Army, and he will definitely be able to resist." Please send reinforcements to support General Luo. ”

"Yes!"

Wang Huazhen came back to her senses, "Order! With Sun Degong, Zu Tianshou, Qi Bingzhong, Liu Qu, and Bao Chengxian leading the army to rescue, set off immediately! ”

"Yes, sir."

Sun Degong and Bao Chengxian were the first to respond and left the lobby.

The other three generals all looked puzzled, and finally saluted Wang Huazhen and had to go to support.

"In addition, Yang Chengying, who sent an order to Jinzhou, ordered him to go north immediately to assist our army in resisting the attack of Houjin."

"Order."

One of the heralds, after receiving the order, quickly rode away.

Yang Chengying was not in Jinzhou City at this time, but led the army back to the Jinzhou Zhongzuo Institute.

It's not because of the grain and grass problem.

Thousands of soldiers were added, and there was also a need to settle the people who were taken in on the way to defeat Zhao Yuanliang.

Coupled with the freezing weather, it increases the difficulty of transportation.

This has brought huge trouble to the already inadequate logistics.

In addition, there are some big contradictions between the charcoal burners led by Qi Dazhuang and the soldiers led by Xu Shang.

In the case that there is no way to solve it for the time being, Yang Chengying can only choose to separate them.

Out of sight is pure.

Therefore, when Wang Huazhen's warrant reached Yang Chengying's hand, it was one day longer than the original estimate.

"Jianlu poured all his strength into attacking Liaoyang, and Governor Wang did not defend the city but went out of the city to fight, which is self-defeating."

Yang Chengying saw the warrant and almost died of anger.

Although he always said that Wang Huazhen would be defeated, he didn't want this to happen in his heart. After all, Liaoyang is the barrier of southern Liaoning, and the loss of Liaoyang and tens of thousands of Ming troops has doubled the pressure on Jinzhou.

Mao Yuanyi hurriedly said: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the general should send troops quickly, and he must not let Liaoyang City have an accident." ”

"I know."

Yang Chengying took a deep breath, "Come on, beat the drum!" Points! ”

Knock knock knock ......!

The sound of drums resounded over the center and left.
