The withdrawal of troops is just an angry word from Nurhachi.

He was a little stunned by the Hongyi cannon and said casually.

When he calmed down, he decided to stay.

As a way to contain the Jinzhou army, he also had to take a good look at this new artillery that caused a lot of casualties to the Houjin army.

As a result, the Golden State side fell into a strange standoff.

Yang Chengying did not have many soldiers and horses, so he did not dare to go out of the city.

Although Nurhachi has many soldiers and horses, he can't help the tall city walls and the powerful Hongyi cannons.

At the same time, Liaoxi fought.

Before getting the information sent by Jinzhou, Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, heard that the Jin army was attacking in a big way, and hurriedly sent the general soldier Liu Qu to lead 20,000 people to enter Zhenwu Fort, the staff general Hei Yunhe led 10,000 people to enter Luyang Station, and the staff general Luo Yigui led an army of 3,000 troops to Xiping Fort.

He also sent Mao Wenlong to lead the army into Zhenningbao, forming the so-called echelon configuration and resisting step by step.

He himself sat in Quang Ninh and sent a request for help to the Mongol Khan Lin Dan Khan, expecting that the Mongol army would be willing to come and assist him in defending Liaoxi for the sake of rewarding silver.

What he didn't know, however, was that these Mongol armies were unreliable, and they left after receiving the bounty at the border market.

There was no intention of supporting him at all.

On the afternoon of 20 December, Dai Shan and Huang Taiji led a large army to Xiping Fort.

That night, something happened.

"Enemy attack!"

The Houjin Army sounded the alarm.

The Houjin army, who was in charge of patrolling the night, fought with the Ming army that attacked them as soon as possible.

The sound of killing shook the sky!

Huang Taiji, who was reading by candle in the tent, heard the sound and calmly put down "Liutao".

"How's it going out there?"

Huang Taiji pulled the coat he was draped over and asked the guards who had entered the tent.

"Back to Sibeile, the enemy has been killed and retreated by Yue Zhi's army. Because the night was too dark, I didn't dare to chase and came back. ”

The guards report.

Huang Taiji smiled coldly: "The guard of Xiping Fort is a tiger general, guarding the fort with only 3,000 people, and he dares to sneak attack our army." ”

Between the words, I have some appreciation for this Ming army general.

"Where's Big Baylor?" Huang Taiji asked again.

"I am inquiring about the specific situation in the military marshal's account." The guard replied.

Huang Taiji thought about it and decided to go to the Chinese army commander's tent in person.

He changed his clothes before setting off.

When he arrived, Dai Shanzheng discussed the military situation with Liu Xingzuo, Yue Zhen, Shuo Zhen and others.

Seeing Huang Taiji, Dai Shan said: "The eighth brother came just in time, and I am going to send someone to invite you to come."

We were troubled by the Ming army for most of the night, and we felt that we couldn't sleep well, so we simply discussed tomorrow's conquest. ”

"The second brother is serious, the younger brother is on call, and if there is something to do, just give orders."

The two sides were polite and got down to business.

Dai Shan said: "This Ming army is not strong in combat, but it is strong-willed. We intend to use the tactics of encircling three and missing one, leaving the west alone and not attacking.

What do you think? ”

Yue Zhen and the others dared to have an opinion, and nodded one after another.

Only Liu Xingzuo didn't say anything, he was there quietly.

Dai Shan also understands that after all, it is an attack on the Ming Dynasty, and it is normal for people like Liu Xingzuo to feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

He didn't care about that, and was ready to announce that he would do it.

Huang Taiji spoke at this time: "Second brother, junior brother has an immature idea. ”

"You say." Dai Shandao.

"Among the generals of the Ming army, it is rare to have such a brave general. Why don't you send someone to recruit them before you attack? ”

"This Ming army dares to sneak attack in the middle of the night, and I'm afraid it's impossible to surrender them."

"It's up to people, maybe we can have one more new force."

"Well, what the eighth brother said makes sense."

Dai Shan pondered for a moment, and the first suitable person that came to mind was Liu Xingzuo.

is also Han, Liu Xingzuo is more convenient than them.

At this time, Liu Xingzhi stood up: "I'll go to the matter of surrendering, my second brother is the commander of the Han army, so it's inconvenient to come forward." ”

"Yes." Dai Shan thought for a while and agreed.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Xingzhi arrived at the city of Xipingbao with the army.

To be honest, Liu Xingzhi didn't know Luo Yigui at all.

Their brother took refuge very early, and Nurhachi, who was still the general of Jianzhou Weilonghu at that time.

Luo Yigui was born in the Western Army, served as a general in Dajingbao, Ganzhou, and later fought in Liao with Liu Qu and other commanders of the Western Army.

After arriving at the city, Liu Xingzhi rode out of the column alone and shouted: "Please General Luo come out, I have a few words for you." ”

Luo Yigui, who stayed in the border fort city, responded loudly: "Your grandfather Luo is here, the dog has something to say quickly, and if there is a fart, let it go." ”

Liu Xingzhi frowned, but when he thought of his task, he suppressed the anger in his heart.

"General Luo, I heard that you are a strong general of the Western Army, an upright man.

Although yesterday's sneak attack was not successful, it can be regarded as a bit of courage.

Later, the Jin Guoda Baylor and the Fourth Baylor cherished talents and sent me to recruit them.

If you are willing to surrender and be knighted, gold and silver will definitely be indispensable.

General Wangluo thought twice. ”

The shouting didn't seem to have the effect it should have.

Liu Xingzhi instead saw a flag erected on the castle.

I saw Luo Yigui standing on the city gate and shouted: "As far as I know, your Liu brothers are all a dog of Nurhachi.

Good people should be dogs, and I feel sorry for you.

It's better to take off the heads of the great king and the four kings, and I will ask the court to reward you. ”

Among the brothers of the Liu family, Liu Xingzhi has the most short temper.

As soon as he heard this, Liu Xingzhi was so angry that he scolded: "You nephew from the west, you don't have a face, you wait for me." ”

With that, he waved his horsewhip and retreated to the military formation.

He didn't need to speak, Dai Shan and Huang Taiji heard what he said just now.

Dai Shan directly ordered to change the battle plan and change it to siege the city from all sides.

The flag was issued, and the Jin army immediately launched an attack.

The cannon fodder pushed the cart and charged ahead, and the cannon fodder digging the city wall was behind.

Dressed in several layers of armor, the Bayara Protector and the bannermen who were good at using bows and arrows pressed the formation, while constantly shooting arrows at the city to suppress the enemy's firearms and bows and arrows.

After arriving at the city walls, cannon fodder wields pickaxes and axes to dig the city walls.

The archers continued to suppress the city.

However, they missed a bit.

This Xiping Fort has been re-strengthened and is much stronger than before.

Later, the Jin army was under the city, and many cannon fodder were killed and wounded.

But none of this will change anything.

In Luo Yigui's hands, there were only 3,000 Ming troops.

After holding out for two hours, he still couldn't resist the Houjin army.

Later, the Jin army conquered Xiping Fort, and Luo Yigui and the 3,000 Ming army were all killed.

Dai Shan and Huang Taiji successfully entered Xiping Fort.

Just as they were about to discuss the next offensive plan, an urgent military situation suddenly came.

"What? Reinforcements from the Ming army are coming? Dai Shan was slightly surprised.

According to the information inquired earlier, the strategy adopted by the Ming army should be to resist and delay our army's attack.

Why did reinforcements suddenly come in?

Huang Taiji smiled and said, "Isn't this right, we don't have to go to them." ”

"That's right." Dai Shan also laughed along.

In terms of field warfare, they are very confident that the Ming army is definitely not an opponent in this army that has been trained for many years under their command.

After all, no matter how difficult it is, it can't compare to the battle of Salhu, which fought day and night.
