At this point, Huang Taiji could only wait for reinforcements to the Ming army in Jinzhou.

I want to win this battle of Ningjin through the tactics of encircling and sending reinforcements.

However, Huang Taiji missed one thing.

That was the field level of the Ming army.

In fact, Jinzhou was besieged, and Yuan Chonghuan immediately transferred Mangui to lead 10,000 troops of the Qiantun Guard Ming Army into Ningyuan.

Then, Yuan Chonghuan discussed with the generals to rush to Jinzhou.

The generals believed that if they rushed to aid Jinzhou, they must assemble all the Ming troops outside the Guan, and also send a message to Yang Chengying in Gaizhou, and lead the main force to contain the Daishan and other troops of the Houjin army.

Otherwise, there is no way to fight a decisive battle with the Houjin army under the city of Jinzhou.

Even so, there are two more results.

Winning the battle is naturally a great joy for all.

If you lose, your previous achievements will be in vain.

"Actually, we have another way, and this way is to learn from Mr. Yang in Jinzhou Town."

Yuan Chonghuan came to the front of the map as he spoke, pointed to the map with his finger, and said: "Everyone, please see, the terrain around Jinzhou is very open, which is especially suitable for us to use the method of small forces to harass and delay the enemy's siege. ”

"Although this method is good, but Mr. Yang can use it, we may not be able to use it."

Man Guidao, who was slightly familiar with the Jinzhou Army: "The troops sent out by General Yang are all troops that have been trained for a long time and specialize in mountain warfare, or are well-trained cavalry.

In addition, he can do what he prohibits. The meritorious service is also very diverse, such as the first climb, the general to capture the flag, the queen of the palace, the wounded, etc., you can get the corresponding reward according to the size of the military merit.

He has a lot of money, but we can't do that.

Moreover, Governor Yuan canceled the first-level meritorious service, and took the retreat of the enemy as the standard for meritorious service. Small raids are obviously not achieved, which will make the soldiers lazy. ”

The generals nodded one after another, and they all thought that Man Gui's words were very reasonable.

In addition, there is another point that Man Gui did not say.

That is, the attack force of these 200 people must be elite, in case of annihilation by the enemy, the Ming army will not be able to withstand the consumption in the long run.

But if you send ordinary soldiers, it's no different from not sending them.

Yuan Chonghuan thought about it again and again, so he had to let Man Gui take over Ningyuan's city defense first, and let He Kegang, who had previously guarded Ningyuan, and You Shilu each take a eunuch and two thousand men and horses to Jinzhou.

"If you encounter a brigade of Jianyu to intercept it, then retreat to Ningyuan."

Yuan Chonghuan emphasized: "If there is no dispatch, we will continue to attack and harass Jianyu. ”

The reason why the two of them each brought a eunuch was Yuan Chonghuan's careful thinking.

Who dares to let the eunuch die in battle, he can only attack and send out the four thousand elites in his hands instead of having a hot head.

In order to make his attack look like that, Yuan Chonghuan wrote a letter to his subordinates and asked him to take it to Jinzhou.

And this letter is the one intercepted by Huang Taiji.

Yuan Chonghuan did not intend to expose the news that his army was about to leave for Jinzhou, but used the letter to make Huang Taiji nervous, and then slow down the siege of Jinzhou.

As long as Huang Taiji sent troops to intercept the attack, He Kegang and You Shilu were afraid that something would happen to the eunuch, so they immediately led the army to retreat.

To put it bluntly, it is delaying time in disguise.

If the field battle cannot be defeated, see whose food and grass can afford it.

It's just that Yuan Chonghuan didn't expect that there were really Mongolians passing by and confirming the matter, so that Huang Taiji was busy in vain.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, late at night.

You Shilu and He Kegang led 4,000 elites to arrive at Lishan Mountain, and they directly collided with a Houjin army.

What is outrageous is that this Houjin army is not a force sent by Huang Taiji to reconnoiter Ning Yuanming's army, but a grain transportation force.

It turned out that the grain pressure in Houjin was very high.

Between Shenyang and Haizhouwei, there was a Ming army that kept attacking and harassing, forcing the entire grain transportation route to be blocked, and the grain could not be transported to the front line in time.

Huang Taiji was forced to order a part of the Houjin army to loot around Jinzhou.

On this day, it was Amin, Zilharang and Haoge who were going to the south of Jinzhou.

Hauge led the team to follow Amin and Zilharang all the way south, until they reached the Fence Mountain, and he couldn't help it.

"Two cousins, if you go further south, you will reach Ningyuan City, we won't be bold enough to rely on this little man to fight Ningyuan City, right?"

Hauge let out a long yawn as he spoke, looked up at the night, shook his head, and said, "Everyone is tired for a day, and now people are sleepy and tired, do you want to retreat." ”

Under the moonlight, Amin's face was smiling, and it seemed strange to Hauge: "Uncle Amin, isn't what my nephew said right?" ”

"Haoge, if Ningyuan City is guarded by Yang Chengying's kid's soldiers and horses, Lao Tzu is still afraid of them."

Amin was as rampant as ever, "Now the Ming army defending the city is waste wood when they leave the city, and they are not afraid at all." ”

Zilharang smiled bitterly: "As long as we don't get too close, there will be no big problem." There is nothing in the Jinzhou area, so I can only try my luck in the Ningyuan area. ”

After a pause, Zilharang said seriously: "If we don't get some food, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive." ”

"If you want me to say, it's better to withdraw the troops."

Amin was open-mouthed, "If the Great Khan refuses, sooner or later he will suffer a big loss." ”

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Zilharang frowned.

These whining things should not be said, not to mention that Hauge is still around.

While chatting, he suddenly got a report from Tanma that an unknown number of Ming troops were stationed in front.

This Ming army is the 4,000 elites led by He Kegang and You Shilu.

Where is Fence Hill?

Thirty kilometers outside the city of Ningyuan, it can be reached by a day's march.

Whether it was the Ming army or Amin who was looting grain and grass, he was blinded.

Seeing that the Ming army was in formation, Amin's unique sense of smell on the battlefield played a role.

"We only have 300 elite horsemen, and if the Ming army comes to reinforce the army, we will definitely suffer."

Amin said calmly: "Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy does not know our numbers, we quickly lead the army to charge, scare them and withdraw immediately." ”

Before they came, they didn't know about the Mongol Gurge, only that the Ming army might reinforce Jinzhou, and mistakenly thought that many people had come.

No matter how rampant Amin is, it is not to the extent that he can defeat tens of thousands of Ming troops with three hundred cavalry.

So, the three of them took the lead in charging the Ming army that was still in formation in the early morning.

The four thousand elite Ming troops are not all cavalry, but a mixture of horses and foot.

Seeing the cavalry charge of the Houjin army, He Kegang and You Shilu knew the existence of the letter, they mistakenly thought it was the enemy's vanguard, so they chose to retreat temporarily.

Amin and Zilharang are also battlefield generals, and when they saw the Ming army retreating, they understood it in their hearts, and they didn't need to be reminded to make a detour.

But instead of flanking the Ming army from the north and south, it drew an arc and withdrew directly.

In the eyes of those who don't know the inside story, this is a normal retreat after the cavalry charge finds that there is nowhere to start.

However, there was a stunned young man between them, who did not understand Amin's explanation before the attack, and actually rushed into the Ming army's military formation with more than 80 cavalry under his command.

After the evacuation of Amin and Zilharang, the two armies converged.

The brothers were overjoyed at first, thinking that they could withdraw their troops.

Then, the two brothers were stunned at the same time.

Rough, Hauge!
