Huang Taiji was unwilling to retreat like this.

He wants to go through the world, and he wants to get Guan Ningjun.

When Guan Ningjun was completely absorbed by Yang Chengying, he completely lost the most convenient passage to enter the customs.

"Order, please go to Yongping to sit down."

Huang Taiji ordered: "Namutai, Heshuotu, Turge and Gu Santai led the army to Luanzhou. ”

"What? Go to Luanzhou! Turg was taken aback.

"All you need to do is delay the enemy and retreat if you see that the situation is not good."

Huang Taiji explained: "Remember, don't fight hard with the enemy, understand? ”

"I understand." Turg nodded.

It is to delay the enemy's advance and provide time for the Great Khan to attack Funing City.

However, can Funing City really be defeated?

There is a big question mark in everyone's minds.

Turge took his soldiers and horses and rushed to Luanzhou day and night.

Outside Luanzhou City, not a single soldier of the Ming army has been found.

When I asked Gu Santai, who arrived first with the blue flag, I knew that the Ming army was still on the way to the army.

"The Great Khan told me to defend the city together."

"The main purpose is to delay the enemy army and buy time for the Great Khan to take the city of Funing," Turg said. ”

"We only have these soldiers and horses, and Yang Chengying has not only the army, but also artillery, how can we hold it."

Namutai, who was in the yellow flag, said hesitantly.

"If you can't hold it, you have to defend it, even if it's just a day to delay the enemy."

Turg sighed and said, "We must not sabotage the Great Khan's plans. ”

"Yes." The other three all answered.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Jinzhou Army arrived at the city of Luanzhou.

Then, the Houjin army saw a familiar scene on the city tower.

Under the protection of the infantry and cavalry of the Ming army, the soldiers of the artillery battalion began to build forts and prepare for the bombardment of Luanzhou.

"Don't be afraid, Yang Chengying is just a rat."

Turge cheered up his subordinates: "We only have a few hundred people, and Yang Cheng should have 30,000 elites, but he only dares to build a fort." ”

"That's right, let them build. Anyway, our goal is only to hold back the enemy army, and the longer they are busy, the happier we will be. ”

Gu Santai also cheered up his subordinates.

As a result, the morale of the Houjin army in the city was greatly boosted, and they all ridiculed the Ming army for their cowardice.

So does Yang Chengying know the actual situation in Luanzhou?

Of course I do.

On the way to the Jinzhou army, they encountered refugees who had escaped from Luanzhou and told Yang Chengying that there were only a few hundred defenders in Luanzhou.

Even after Chen Xuance and other generals learned the news, they also said one after another, let's not attack the city with artillery, and directly lead the army to the city.

was politely rejected by Yang Chengying with a smile, and still ordered the whole army to be on alert and repair the fort.

"Marshal, our army's style of play is too bad."

As a newly joined former general of the Guanning Army, Liu Yingxuan said puzzledly: "The elite of our army is one as ten, and it is completely possible to break the city without Hongyi cannons." ”

"These are the elite of my Golden State Army, and they are also good seeds to retire in the future, and they should not be wasted casually."

Yang Chengying said: "We must be strategically frugal and tactically generous. ”

"But in this way, the speed of our army is not fast."

Liu Yingxuan said hesitantly.

"If it's not fast, it's not fast, and we want to make an impression on the people of Gyeonggi."

Yang Chengying said: "As long as we make a move, the Tartars can only retreat. ”

"Understood."

Liu Yingxuan nodded, "Dashuai is really thoughtful, I can't wait." ”

Yang Chengying smiled and waved his hand.

At this time, Ning Wan walked over to Yang Chengying.

"Dashuai, can you read the letter I wrote asking for help?"

After Ning finished, I handed the letter that had not yet dried to Yang Chengying.

"Yes."

Yang Chengying glanced at it, "We must make our situation miserable, so that Inspector Sun is willing to allocate money and food to us." ”

To the west of Luanzhou was Kaiping Mansion, and as soon as Yang Chengying's army arrived, all the Houjin troops there had withdrawn to Yongping.

Since the contact with the imperial court has been opened, Yang Chengying has the attitude that he can make a fortune, and asked Ning Wan and me to write a letter on his behalf and ask Inspector Sun for money and food.

Anyway, the Jinzhou army marched slowly, which may have been deliberate in the eyes of many civilian officials, and there was a suspicion of raising self-respect.

This false name, since it has been borne, cannot be borne in vain.

"Someone, take this letter of request for help and go to see Inspector Sun."

Yang Chengying handed it to the soldier who delivered the letter, "Let's cry about the poor, cry when you get there." ”

"Yes." The leading soldier took the letter and left with the remaining four soldiers.

"Marshal, the Golden State Army has enough food and grass, do you need to do this?"

Liu Yingxuan finally found out why Kong Youde was so bold, and his coach was even better than him.

"It's useful, the grain can't be moldy." Yang Chengying teased.

"But my subordinates heard that many Qinwang troops had no supplies, so they mutinied."

"That's a matter for the court, and the brothers have to pay for their hard work."

Yang Chengying said indifferently: "Besides, how many of these general soldiers have not deducted their salaries and supported their families?" Don't pretend to be a white lotus in front of me. ”

"What do you mean by 'White Lotus'?" Liu Yingxuan asked curiously.

"Well, that's ...... Pretending to be innocent. ”

Yang Chengying felt that this explanation was very appropriate.

In fact, he did it purely to be prepared.

Just because of the headache of the Ming Dynasty's marching requirements, the local people had to manage a meal, and many places could not afford to manage this meal, so they resorted to tricks, such as not allowing them to enter the city.

There is also a military department to say things, here that day, there tomorrow, perfect missed meals.

Funing was surrounded, and it was impossible to supply by land, relying on Geng Zhongming's supply by sea.

Although there is no doubt about cutting off cooking for the time being, it is necessary to prepare in advance.

Just when Huang Taiji was besieging Funing, Dai Shan was sitting in Yongping, and Yang Chengying was in full swing to attack Luanzhou, an elite army successfully avoided Huang Taiji's sentry cavalry and sneaked to the outside of Santun camp.

At noon, the first group of sentinels sent by Jin Guochen returned and successfully brought back information.

"The Santun camp was occupied by a group of soldiers who don't know if it was Tartar or the Ming army, and they spoke with a Shandong accent."

The Sentinel whispered.

"How could you not tell the difference between the Tartars and the Ming army?" Hearing the return, Jin Guochen really didn't understand.

"Commander, those people didn't shave their heads, it stands to reason that they should be the Ming army."

The sentinel replied in a low voice: "But I haven't seen a single soldier of the imperial court in this area, and it is impossible to determine whether they are Ming soldiers or not based on their Shandong accent alone." ”

"Then it's not the Ming army, it's the Tartar who didn't have time to shave his head."

Jin Guochen made a judgment: "We took advantage of the enemy's laxity and infiltrated in the middle of the night to seize the Santun camp. ”

If the Ming army was so bold, it would not be the turn of the Jinzhou army to enter the customs.

"Wait."

Kong Youde didn't see it that way, he asked the sentry: "Is there any other information?" ”

"By the way, they take a sip of water after walking a few steps, but it doesn't look very dry."

The sentinel thought about it again, and thought only of a piece of information that might be valuable to him.

"They are the Ming army, and they may also be reinforcements from Shandong."

Kong Youde made his own judgment, "Maybe it was a coincidence that allowed them to pick up the treasure while they were in chaos." ”

"Shall we send someone to contact them?" Jin Guochen said.

"Yes, but they may not believe that we are Ming troops." Kong Youde was a little troubled.
