Since the Battle of Salhu, the main force of the Ming army has been lost, and it is no longer able to take the initiative to attack, so it can only hold on to the city.

Unexpectedly, this time, the Ming army dared to take the initiative to attack!

The day before yesterday, Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai and Derge, who went to pursue the Ming army, actually chased the Ming army and lost it!

Chasing down the Ming army, in fact, was expected by Huang Taiji!

He deliberately became angry, just trying to find a fault and degrade the position of Baylor of Manggultai;

However, Dolgon, who intercepted the Ming army at Xiping Fort, and Daishan, who intercepted the Ming army in Shengjing, waited for three days!

I didn't even see the shadow of the Ming army!

So, where did this Ming army that killed behind itself go?

If they were all frozen to death or starved to death, Huang Taiji would rather die than believe it!

If you don't find this Ming army, don't completely annihilate it, Huang Taiji will always be in your throat!

"Great Khan! Zu Dashou and He Kegang appeared in the city! ”

Hearing this, Huang Taiji frowned, hurried to the outside of the trench, and raised the telescope.

At the beginning of the siege, Huang Taiji sent many letters of persuasion to the city, but there was no reply.

The grain and grass in the city have been exhausted, and the emperor is clear!

Could it be that Zu Dashou and He Kegang couldn't hold it and wanted to surrender?

"Send someone over and shout: If Kaicheng surrenders within three days, there will be high-ranking officials, gold, silver, jewelry, and stunning beauties, everything!

If you are obsessed, the day the city is broken, there will be no one left! ”

After receiving the order, several soldiers who knew Chinese came to the city, exchanged for a while, and soon returned.

"Great Khan, the defenders of the city said that there is enough food and grass, and there is no problem in holding it for another three months!

They also said that if you want to attack the city, stop chattering and let the horses go! ”

"Plenty of food and grass?"

Huang Taiji sneered and put down the binoculars: "Go and pass the word to Zu Dashou again: Since he can guard for another three months, I will surround him for three years!" ”

The soldiers faithfully went to deliver the message, and also brought back the words of Zu Dashou: "Great Khan, they say, they say...... Please look at your own south side......"

South?

Huang Taiji was stunned and quickly raised the binoculars.

I'll go!

Five miles to the south, smoke and dust are billowing out!

A cavalry of four or five thousand men was bypassing their camp and heading towards the southeast!

In this situation, Huang Taiji was completely stunned!

A few days ago, the Ming army that killed his rear has not been found!

Today, another Ming army is killing in its rear!

If you send troops to chase, it is likely that the Ming army will be ambushed!

If it is not pursued, where will this Ming army go?

If the two Ming armies converge, the number will be at least 10,000!

Whether it is Dolgon outside Xiping Fort, or Daishan outside Shengjing City, they can't resist it!

Moreover, the Ming army also carried a large number of artillery pellets!

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji shuddered suddenly!

I thought that my plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements would be successful, and I would be able to hit the Ming army hard!

Who knows, the Ming army did not save the Daling River, but killed its own rear!

If the city in the rear is breached, what is the use of capturing the Daling River in front?

"Report ...... Great Khan: Last night, Liaoyang City was broken by the Ming army! The city was in flames, and the dead and wounded were uncountable! ”

"Report ...... Great Khan: Yesterday evening, Anshan was broken by the Ming army! The city shouted to kill the earth, and the specific loss is unknown! ”

Hearing the news, Huang Taiji's teeth were gritted loudly!

Steady!

Steady!

From the perspective of time and direction, the Ming army conquered Anshan in the evening and Liaoyang in the middle of the night, from south to north!

Needless to say, it was the "disappeared" Ming army that did it!

If you don't catch up, at noon today, this Ming army will be able to arrive in Shengjing!

No, there are 5,000 soldiers and horses in Shengjing City, and the Ming army will not dare to go!

Their direction should be Qinghe in the northeast, or Hetuala!

However, just now, there was another Ming army with a greater number of them, heading south!

This Ming army is also a light cavalry!

One person, two horses, it's hard to catch up!

On the side of the war horse, there are also cannon balls!

If you don't chase it, will you sit and watch the Ming army go wild?

"Report ...... Great Khan: In the evening of the day before yesterday, the Ming army conquered the Qinghe River! More than 3,000 people in the city were all killed by the Ming army!

Cattle, sheep and horses, countless people have been robbed! ”

Qinghe! Why is it in Qinghe again?

Wrong! The Ming army was not divided into three thousand people, but into several!

At this time, they can appear anywhere!

Any city without garrisons could be sacked!

However, except for Shengjing and Xiping Fort, there are few cities with soldiers and horses!

Vile! Shameless! Damn it!

I'm a robber, and someone dares to rob me!

If you don't stop it, everything will be robbed!

How will you spend this winter?

Da Ling River!

Da Ling River!

If you return to the division, the Ming army will continue to build the city!

This nail is about to be nailed in the Liaohe Plain!

If it is not pulled out, the Ming army will be able to go freely in Liaodong Pingyuan!

No, the Ming army at this time has come and gone freely!

"Poof......

Huang Taiji spurted out a mouthful of blood, his eyes turned black, and he swayed under the horse.

……

Withdrawn!

The Eight Banners have finally withdrawn!

Dalinghe City, gongs and drums are noisy!

Countless soldiers, horses, grains and grass are continuously sent into the city!

All the soldiers were beaming, but Zu Dashou was sad!

For more than a month of siege, the soldiers did not kill a single horse!

However, there are no more war horses in the city!

Because, all the horses are starving to death!

Then, it's all made into jerky!

If there is no war horse, how can you come to Guanning Iron Cavalry?

Luckily, though, the elite riders are still there!

The armor is still there!

As long as there is enough silver, within half a year, Guanning Iron Cavalry will be able to gallop on the battlefield again!

The problem is that the money allocated by the imperial court is barely enough to make up the arrears!

Where did the money come from to buy war horses?

Zu Dashou frowned, and Wang Li was also secretly worried!

The "Iron Armor Brocade Guard" built by himself with huge money has not come back!

Huang Taiji's whole army is back to help, can they still come back?

And how much can I come back?

……

It's okay, it's okay!

After waiting anxiously for half a month, the riders returned to Jinzhou City one after another!

Their horses were covered with fat sheep, animal skins, ginseng, beauties, ginseng, and milk wine......

The loot is very lucrative!

Every rider is in high spirits!

I can't wait to go to the Liaohe Plain again!

The Daling River is being built in full swing;

Accompanied by Zu Dashou and Qiu Hejia, Wang Li occasionally came to the city to check the progress.

This time, noticing the materials used by the people to build the city, Wang Li frowned slightly.

A large part of the walls of this era were actually made of rammed earth!

Such a city is more than enough to block cavalry or foot soldiers!

But, if you face the bombardment of artillery, won't you become tofu scum?

Remember, the city wall of Jinzhou City was dug into a big hole by the Eight Banners!

That time, if Nurhachi hadn't been overturned with one shot, Jinzhou City would have been breached!

"General Zu, you built the city with mud? How long can you stop the Eight Banners? ”

Wang Li's question had no other meaning, Zu Dashou heard the sound outside the strings, and his face was full of disdain: "Factory Gong, the Eight Banners are good at field warfare, but the siege of the city is a mess!"

What's more, the winters here are very cold and last for half a year!

When the Eight Banners attack, we only need to water the city, and the city wall will freeze immediately!

Even if a few large holes are carved, the walls will not collapse! ”

Wang Li nodded, still a little uneasy: "It's really enough to deal with an ordinary chisel!"

If...... Do the Eight Banners also have artillery?

As far as I know, the Eight Banners have more than twenty cannons! ”

"Alas!"

Zu Dashou sighed and shook his head helplessly: "In the long run, I also want to do it once and for all!"

The stone walls are indeed strong, but they require too much time and manpower!

Moreover, the silver allocated by the imperial court is barely enough to pay the arrears of the soldiers!

I also want to build a strong city, but I can't do it! ”

"No, it's not a matter of stone and dirt!

Even if you build a city with stones, it is not strong enough! ”

Zu Dashou looked confused, but Wang Li was silent.

Indeed, a wall made of stone is indeed not strong!

Because, there is one more important material missing: cement!

If there is enough cement and sand, and then pull a few wires horizontally and vertically, it is called strong!

It's just that cement is such a high-end thing...... How, exactly?

In the time-traveling novels I have read, it seems to be briefly mentioned that it must be calcined at high temperatures and ground into powder......

The concrete ingredient seems to have clay, lime, cinder......

What else is there?

What is the specific ratio?

Oops, I can't remember!

If you knew you were going to cross, you should have learned more and learned more about history!

That's it, that's it!

Write a rough idea and let Xu Guangqi do it!

It's best if you can make it out, and it doesn't matter if you don't!

Anyway, this Da Ming is hopeless!

Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chengzong are not able to turn the tide, I'm a fart!

It is imperative to make more money as soon as possible and find a way back as soon as possible!

Well, I hate traitors the most!

If you can do it, if you can overturn a few traitors, it will not be in vain!

Hum! Kong Youde!

That's you!

During this time, I only cared about Da Linghe, and I almost forgot about you!

"By the way, that guy Kong Youde, is he dead!"

"Uh...... Probably not......"

Song Zhe shook his head, and after a little thought, he said: "After Kong Youde rebelled, he stayed in Wuqiao for a few days, and then led his troops south......"

South?

Wang Li smiled softly, and felt a little more contempt for Kong Youde's actions!

This guy, where can he lead troops south?

Can he cross the Yangtze River with his little soldiers and horses?

Got to Nanjing?

Dream!

Dead!

If I were him, no matter how ambitious I was, I wouldn't openly rebel!

Secretly go to the emperor Taiji, isn't it fragrant?

Under the condition of being heavily guarded by the first line of Guanjin, he quietly returned to Dengzhou, and then found a few boats to cross the sea and go north!

As long as you bypass the Guanjin defense line, you're basically done!

So, this guy has little in his head!

Bringing troops south is basically looking for death!

Why do I have to do it?

Hey?

Those oncoming eunuchs seem to be the celebrants!

Oh, really!

This hellish place is freezing to death!

I don't want to stay longer than I am!

If......

Hey!

Zhu Youzhen really ordered me to return to Beijing!

At the same time, he also edicted Zu Dashou to return to Beijing!

Needless to say, it's a reward!

After the eunuch who passed the decree left, Wang Li patted Zu Dashou on the shoulder: "General Zu, long live the edict of the Lord to return to Beijing to face the saint, you will be rewarded for your meritorious service in defending the city!"

Take advantage of the opportunity to mention the matter of silver!

As soon as the Lord is happy, there will be hope for the rebuilding of the Guanning Iron Horse!

Why are you worried? ”

"No need!"

Zu Dashou smiled softly, looking particularly cautious: "The construction of the Daling River has not yet been completed, and I really shouldn't leave!"

I will present a letter to the emperor explaining this matter in detail!

I do need silver!

The Guanning Iron Cavalry is in urgent need of reconstruction!

But ......"

Zu Dashou didn't continue to say anything, and left firmly.

Wang Li thought about it for a while, and admired Zu Dashou's caution!

To be able to defend the Daling River, Zu Dashou is indeed indispensable!

However, this merit is really nothing compared to "not listening to dispatch"!

That "rebellion", Zhu Youzhen will not forget!

Never forget!

If he returns to Beijing, he is likely to be like Yuan Chonghuan: without warning, he was sent to prison!

Therefore, it is better not to be rewarded, and it is better to give up the great opportunity to rebuild the Guanning Iron Cavalry, than to stay in the Daling River!

Stay here, at least, there is still a chance to escape!

This ancestor is indeed cautious!

Indeed, a companion is like a tiger!

Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!

He did nothing wrong!

This caution should be learned from him!
