Outside the city of Ningyuan, in the Houjin army.

The rumor reached the awakened Nurhachi's ears, making the old Houjin Khan furious.

But he had no good way to stop the rumors, so he had to personally direct the retreat.

"The blue flag of the fifth child is in front, the blue flag of Amin's nephew and the two yellow flags of Ben Da Khan are dispatched together, and the white flag of the eighth is behind the palace."

Nurhachi said weakly: "The armies of all walks of life need to retreat cautiously, and don't give the enemy a chance to sneak attack. ”

For this arrangement, Amin and Mang Gultai had no opinion, and they took orders one after another.

Huang Taiji had an opinion and could only keep it in his heart, so he had to follow them to receive the order.

The reason for the opinion is that Father Khan is not in good health.

At such a critical time, Huang Taiji felt that he could not be too far away from his father Khan.

As soon as the assignment was decided, a personal soldier came to report: "Great Khan, I just visited Malay to report that after Yang Chengying occupied Gaizhou, there was no sign of retreat, but he was strengthening the city defense." ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Hearing the news, Nurhachi coughed violently.

Fortify the city defense of Gaizhou, what this means, you don't have to think about it to know.

"Great Khan ......" the generals looked at the white-haired old man sitting on the throne with a concerned expression.

The military doctor hurriedly stepped forward to check the pulse of the Great Khan.

Unexpectedly, the military doctor was pushed away by Nurhachi: "Lao Tzu is fine, I don't need you to shake in front of you." ”

The hideous face made the military doctor tremble with fright.

Huang Taiji hurriedly waved his hand to the military doctor, and the military doctor bent down and escaped from the tent of the Chinese military commander.

Nurhachi said angrily: "Yang Chengying Xiao'er, he actually wants to take advantage of my small loss in Ningyuan City, so he wants to stay in Gaizhou and not leave." Hum! It's still a long time, and without the solidity of that broken city, I'll see how you can defend it. ”

Everyone was taken aback, and listened to the meaning of the Great Khan's words, which was to wave his army to attack Gaizhou.

The army had just been deflated under Ningyuan City, and its morale had plummeted. It would be very unwise to raise troops to attack Yang Chengying, who had elite soldiers and artillery.

But seeing that the Great Khan had a face that wanted to eat people, none of them dared to come forward to persuade him, and they all subconsciously looked at Sibeile.

Huang Taiji was bitter in his heart.

As smart as Huang Taiji, he knew that persuading the Great Khan at this time was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. But the generals looked at him like this, which was tantamount to roasting him on the fire.

No matter what he said, he would be yelled at by his father Khan, and his head would be full of bags.

"Eighth, what do you have to say?"

Sure enough, Nurhachi saw that all the generals were staring at Sibeile, and a wave of ignorance rose in his heart.

"Back to my father Khan, my son thought that attacking Gaizhou was the best time."

Huang Taiji stepped forward and said: "Yang Chengying is the best at defense, only by taking advantage of his unstable foothold in the new Gaizhou, the city will be attacked by a large army." ”

Nurhachi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the eighth child to follow his words.

But it is obviously unreasonable to say it yourself and reprimand the old man again.

"The old eight all think so, then we can raise troops and take advantage of Yang Chengying's unstable foothold to recapture Gaizhou."

Nurhachi gritted his teeth and said: "It's best to take Yang Chengying, Ben Da Khan is going to kill him alive." ”

"Yes, Great Khan!"

The wood is already in the boat, and the generals will not dare to disobey.

As a result, the Houjin army withdrew the siege of Ningyuan City, and on the 27th of the first month, it marched eastward and went straight to Gaizhou.

The news that Nurhachi was about to attack Gaizhou soon reached Yang Chengying.

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, when Jianyu heard that I got Gaizhou, he immediately couldn't sit still, and he didn't even attack Juehua Island, which was close at hand, that is, he led the army to attack Gaizhou." ”

As soon as the generals heard that there was a big battle to be fought, they all geared up.

In particular, the Xiongwei Battalion, the Hubu Battalion, the Leopard Tao Battalion and the Shi'er Battalion, which were based on the Thirteen Mountains Righteous Army, were even more excited. The revenge of being besieged back then made them unforgettable, and they always thought about revenge.

In the siege of Gaizhou, it was the second battalion of water and fire that was the vanguard, but they were the ones who entered the city the most.

In the long-term battle with the Houjin army, they mastered the ability to kill the enemy, and they received systematic training, and they were even more courageous.

The number of kills of the four battalions is equal to the sum of the other battalions combined.

"Dashuai, you just have to command, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, we are not afraid." Sun Dingliao patted his chest and shouted.

"Good!" Yang Chengying nodded, "In order to resist the Jianyu army, I have made the following arrangements, General Liu's Xiong Wei battalion and General Deng's Hubu battalion, together with General Huang's artillery troops, to defend the enemy's strongest offensive West Gate. ”

The west gate is facing the avenue, which is most suitable for the unfolding of the post-Jin army.

The two battalions had 5,000 soldiers, and with the artillery units using the Fran machine guns, they were the most suitable to guard the west gate, where the enemy was attacking the most.

Asked why the Fran cannon was used, it was not because the Hongyi cannon could not go to the city.

Liu Tianlu, as their representative, said angrily: "Don't worry, Dashuai, we will never let Jiangou come in." He took the arrow very solemnly.

"The north gate is guarded by General Chen's Dongjiang battalion, General Shang's Lin Zi battalion, and General Xie's women's battalion."

Yang Chengying continued to order.

"Okay, you just wait, Dashuai, I promise to beat these prisoners to the ground."

Xie Simei rubbed her hands, her eyes brighter than usual.

The women's barracks had one hundred and twenty-eight places, but three hundred people ate.

Others are falsely reporting the number of people and eating too much money.

It was better for her to receive one hundred and twenty-eight dollars and give it to three hundred female soldiers.

The extra women are all pitiful. In the troubled times, they did not have any relatives, and in order to survive, they did a lot of "dirty" things when they went with the flow.

Because their reputations are stinky, they can't get married. A single portal, planted in a piece of land, and was disliked when the land was divided.

The men who had paid for their rations and slept with them had become moral gentlemen at this moment, with all sorts of accusations.

Xie Simei couldn't stand it, and as soon as she discussed it with the other sisters, she recruited them into the women's barracks.

and feed them with the salaries and bread of more than a hundred people.

Later, she persuaded Tang Yunjin to do the same.

These things have already been reported to Yang Chengying, and Yang Chengying has found excuses to fool the past.

In private, people think that Yang Shuai is good at everything, but he is too kind and raises a bunch of waste.

Xie Simei was about to take this opportunity to prove herself that the female barracks were not as good as you in attacking the city, but they were better than you in defending the city.

Yang Chengying saw her like this, and hurriedly poured a basin of cold water: "You can't be careless in defending the city, you must use firearms reasonably and not brutally." Besides, if there is a real fight, I'm afraid General Shang won't have time to take care of you. ”

"Don't worry, hand-to-hand combat is indeed inferior to them, but when it comes to using firearms and crossbow arrows, let's let them open their eyes."

Xie Simei didn't care about the "offense" in Yang Chengying's words, and said confidently.

Shang Kexi frowned, these girls are too annoying, if they are compared, they will be too embarrassed.

Yang Chengying arranged the defense of the east gate: "The leopard Tao battalion and the lion battalion guard the east gate, and General Zhang has full command. The Yamagi Battalion also participates in the defense of the East Gate, but pay attention to safety. ”

"General Chen led the second battalion of water and fire, and my personal guards to guard the south gate."

Yang Chengying advised: "The south gate is very important, you must be careful to defend it." ”

Chen Jisheng got up and said that he would obey the commander's order.

Su Xiaojing and Kong Youde's cavalry stayed in the city, as a living force, and landed in the city to fight at a critical moment.

Yang Chengying arranged other affairs, Zhou Wenyu was responsible for providing food for the army, Ning Wan and I were responsible for searching for spies in the city, and Jiang Chaodong organized the people to be responsible for maintaining order in the city.

In the end, he ordered the whole city to be organized to defend the city together, mainly to repair the city.

After all, Gaizhou City is not as strong as Zhenyu City, where are there loopholes to repair there!
