The news that the Jinzhou Army was about to enter the customs was like a bombshell, and the whole Jinjun was shocked after the explosion.

Although they always ridiculed Yang Chengying as a slippery head and didn't dare to have a decisive battle like a man, each of them knew very well in their hearts that it was not easy to win if they really wanted to fight, and it would be difficult to overturn.

"What the hell is Amin doing?"

Huang Taiji said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you contain Yang Chengying and let him draw his troops into Gyeonggi." ”

As for the life or death of the Guangning garrison Babu Taidi, he was completely ignored by Huang Taiji.

"Although Amin led the main force of the Eight Banners, if Yang Chengying did not go north, even if he went south to attack Gaizhou, it would be difficult for him to succeed in attacking the city."

Dai Shan spoke for Amin, "And Babutai is not Yang Cheng's opponent at all, and it is expected that Guangning can't hold it." ”

"That's not what I'm talking about!"

Huang Taiji twisted his eyebrows and said: "Yang Chengying can enter the customs, which means that the Ningjin region has been taken over by him, and the Guanning army has also fallen into his hands." ”

The ministers of Baylor looked at each other.

"Even if we tried our best to put Yuan Chonghuan in prison, we came to a Yang Chengying who was a hundred times more cunning than Yuan Chonghuan, and he was also in charge of Guan Ningjun."

Huang Taiji sighed and said, "This is definitely a rather tricky opponent. ”

Thinking of the entire Guanwai, it has been occupied by Yang Chengying. If I want to enter Gyeonggi again, I have to start beware of being burglarized, and I feel a headache.

"It's already like this, and it's useless to say anything more."

Dai Shan was calm and calm, and analyzed: "Great Khan, at present, either withdraw the army, or occupy the key Changli. ”

If you don't fight a war, it is tantamount to expressing to the people of the world that you are afraid of Yang Chengying, Huang Taiji feels that it is absolutely not good, and the authority that has been established with great difficulty cannot be destroyed in one fell swoop.

"Then hurry up and occupy Changli and choke Yang Chengying's main road into Beijing. Then gather the living forces to fight a decisive battle with the Jinzhou Army and defeat Yang Chengying. ”

Huang Taiji said confidently.

As soon as the words fell, Dai Shan got up: "Great Khan, this battle is very important. Please let me lead the army to attack Changli, and be sure to take this place. ”

"Second brother......" Huang Taiji was a little surprised.

Yue Xu, Haoge and other young people are here, how embarrassed to invite Big Baylor into battle.

However, Big Baylor went into battle, and it did play a role in inspiring the morale of the army.

"Great Khan, it's all for the future of the Dajin Kingdom, and I'm not too old to walk, leave this kind of thing to me."

Dai Shan said: "The Great Khan is gathering troops here to support me at any time, and he will definitely wash away the shame of the defeat of the Great Khan in the city." ”

"Hmm." Huang Taiji nodded heavily.

It's not a good thing to be too smooth.

When Huang Taiji gathered his troops and horses, he was stunned to find that he had fallen into the same embarrassing situation as Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan entered the customs at that time, and he needed to defend everywhere, and repeatedly divided his troops, resulting in only more than 9,000 troops who could deal with Huang Taiji.

And Huang Taiji is the same, he sent troops to occupy Zunhua and the Great Wall around successively, and took the four cities of Yongping, and then divided his troops to attack Changli, and was stunned to find that there were only 5,000 soldiers in his hands.

Five thousand soldiers and horses fought other Ming troops, in the eyes of Huang Taiji, holding a handle. But in the face of the brave and good fighting Jinzhou Army, he suddenly felt that the troops were insufficient.

As a result, Huang Taiji also began to follow Yuan Chonghuan's old path, while sending people to urge Amin to transfer troops from all over the country.

On the other side, Ma Shilong, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, already knew the news that Yang Chengying had entered the customs. He left the pass with Liu Yingkun, the eunuch guarding the town, and went to welcome the arrival of the Jinzhou army.

Then, they saw an unforgettable scene:

The Jinzhou Army took the Leopard Tao Battalion as the vanguard, followed by the Forward Battalion, the Guardian Battalion, the Dongjiang Battalion, the Pro-Army Battalion, the Yongjian Battalion, the Zhichong Battalion, etc., the 5,000 cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion marched on both sides, and behind the palace was the Shi'er Battalion, as well as a part of the artillery battalion.

Each battalion used mules to carry the newly cast Shenwei cannons, and the artillery battalion pulled the Hongyi cannons, which were not many, thirty-five.

Zhou Wenyu led the baggage troops, and the Guanning army escorted the baggage troops composed of tens of thousands of people's husbands and women to move forward slowly.

Tens of thousands of troops pulled out several long lines on the winding mountain roads.

The banner is unfurled, the neat pace of the soldiers, accompanied by the sound of drums, perfectly interprets what it means to be "strong soldiers and strong horses" and "the division of tigers".

On the hill, Yang Chengying looked at this mighty army, with no joy or sorrow in his eyes.

On the fifth day of the fourth month, it was the time when Huang Taiji attacked the east after defeating Yongping.

The army arrived at Shanhaiguan.

Ma Shilong said half-jokingly: "The soldiers under the command of Hou Ye Yang are strong and strong, and my soldiers are not worth mentioning compared to Hou Ye." ”

"Master Ma laughed, it's just that the imperial court values it, so I have the opportunity to command these soldiers and horses to protect the king."

Yang Chengying said, walking towards his residence.

That was arranged by Ma Shilong in advance, and Yang Chengying also sent troops to settle in advance and cleaned up a room for temporary command of the soldiers.

In the house, the guards posted a map on the wall, and Zu Zehong posted the march of soldiers and horses from all walks of life on the map according to the intelligence.

Seeing Yang Chengying, Ma Shilong and his entourage coming in, they all stopped to salute.

Yang Chengying nodded, let them continue, and then turned his head to look at Ning Wan.

Ning Wan took the baton, stood in front of the map and said: "At present, the Tartars have occupied Yongping and have the possibility of attacking Changli.

I speculate that their main purpose was to cut off the imperial court from Guanwai and to send reinforcements from Shenyang to further expand the results of the war. ”

"Changli does not have a decent army to defend, and the county commander Zuo should choose to do nothing."

Ma Shilong knew that the situation was urgent, so he also saved his greetings, and analyzed carefully: "Changli probably can't be saved, and he must prepare for the worst." ”

"I think the opposite of Mr. Ma, I think Changli will definitely be able to hold it."

Yang Chengying said: "What we have to do is to take the initiative to attack, occupy Funing first, and then further support Changli." ”

Silly, the master came through and knew who Zuo Yingxuan was.

This guy is definitely a character who has seen through the sadness of the world. Historically, after guarding Changli, he was impeached by traitors and forced to resign voluntarily.

It has since disappeared from history.

In addition to Zuo Yingxuan, after several divisions of the Houjin Army, the combat effectiveness of the Houjin Army was not as good as before.

Therefore, Changli must be able to hold it.

Ma Shilong has no opinion on Yang Chengying's self-confidence, anyway, he is the one who reinforces the governor's troops.

But directly entering Funing, Ma Shilong objected: "Without the edict of Inspector Sun, we cannot enter and occupy Funing." ”

"Excuse me, with Inspector Sun's edict, will I definitely be able to enter Funing?" Yang Chengying asked rhetorically.

"This ......," Ma Shilong frowned, "but without a handful of edicts, how can you occupy Funing if you don't have a good name?" ”

"You don't have to worry about that."

After Yang Chengying said politely, he turned around and looked at the generals behind him with a serious face.

"Sun Dingliao!"

"The end will be."

"Kong Youde!"

"The subordinates are here."

"You led your troops and horses to Funing, and you said that you were ordered to defend the city."

"Yes." After Sun Dingliao and Kong Youde received the order, they glanced at each other.

Kong Youde asked, "What if the other party doesn't open the door?" ”

"Then hit in!"
