The two carrier pigeons took off into the air, circled a few times, and flew accurately in the direction of the Daling River!

Not being shot, Song Zhe finally breathed a sigh of relief!

When I turned around, I suddenly felt that something was wrong and threw a punch violently!

"I'll go!"

If it weren't for the timely withdrawal of the punch, Wu Sangui's front teeth would have been knocked out!

"How are you?" Song Zhe looked around, and then looked at Wu Sangui: "Chief soldier Wu, are you a ghost?" With such a thick layer of snow, why is there no sound when walking? ”

"Who said I was a ghost? Isn't it creaking all the time? Wu Sangui smiled, looked at the empty bird cage, and asked casually, "What?" Before the battle began, he was in a hurry to report to Governor Wang? ”

"That's a must!" Song Zhe smiled, lifted the cage and walked back: "I am in the West Factory, and I never fight a battle that I am not sure of!" ”

"Oh? Could it be that Commander Chen really has a chance of winning? Wu Sangui's face was overjoyed, and he quickly chased after him: "Aren't there only 4,000 mortar shells left?"

The Eight Banners are twice as large as me, and there are cities to hold onto, how can Commander Chen win? ”

Wu Sangui's questioning made Song Zhe very uncomfortable, and said casually: "Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent!"

With the clever calculation of Commander Chen, no matter how many Eight Banner soldiers there are, they are also ants!

In last year's battle at Xifengkou, Commander Chen only used more than 200 shells!

At that time, I only had 15,000 "Iron Armor Guards", didn't I also annihilate Azig's 30,000 Iron Cavalry? ”

"Oh, I see!"

Wu Sangui suddenly realized, with a smile on his face, and asked tentatively: "Commander Song, you sent a message to Daling River, did you ask the "Iron Armor Jinyi Guard" to come for reinforcements?" ”

"That's right! Before noon tomorrow, Song Yi and Zu Dashou will arrive! When the time comes, it is likely that there will be a bitter battle!

By the way, since you're here, I'm not going to the cavalry camp!

You and He Kegang's cavalry, prepare to rest now!

But remember, on time at the ugly time of tomorrow morning, the horses must be fed!

When the time comes, Commander Chen will have a secret order! ”

"Oh? So, the brothers can get the reward again?

Commander Song, can you reveal a little bit so that everyone can be prepared and happy in advance! ”

Wu Sangui's repeated questions completely annoyed Song Zhe!

Because of Wang Li, he doesn't have much affection for Wu Sangui!

It's just because they are also in the Ming Army, and they have to be responsible for helping Chen Qiyu deliver military orders, so I have the patience to explain a little!

Indignant, Song Zhe pointed to the west: "Look at it, that's all I can reveal to you!" ”

With that, stride to the barracks!

In fact, what Song Zhe was referring to was the sun that was about to set in the west, reminding Wu Sangui to rest quickly!

Time is running out!

At the end of the night, the infantry will be evacuated first, and the cavalry will continue to stay outside Quang Ninh, responsible for breaking off the rear and guarding it;

At the same time, it is necessary to continue to fire artillery at the head of the city and drag the Eight Banners soldiers in the city;

A few hours later, when the infantry had withdrawn for more than ten miles, the cavalry quietly retreated and quickly joined the footmen;

If the Eight Banners detect and chase after them, it will be a battle of life and death!

Judging from the distance, Song Yi and Zu Dashou's cavalry will not be able to come to the meeting at noon tomorrow at the earliest!

If this is the case, Wu Sangui and He Kegang's cavalry must hold out until noon tomorrow!

So, there really isn't much rest time left for the cavalry!

Song Zhe returned to the barracks, but Wu Sangui was still standing in the cold wind, looking at the west with a confused expression!

Bitter? What hard fight?

The Eight Banners are defending the city, where did the hard battle come from?

There is really a hard battle, it should be Qiu Hejia who is besieging the city, right?

What does it have to do with my cavalry?

Rest? Isn't that?

I haven't eaten dinner yet, how can I rest so early?

By the way, aren't Zu Dashou and Song Yi guarding the Daling River?

The ironclad brocade guards are coming at noon tomorrow, what battle is there to fight?

Could it be that because of the insufficient strength of the foot soldiers, the cavalry lost their armor and horses and carried bamboo ladders to attack the city?

No, no way!

However, there is nothing in this direction he is pointing to?

What exactly did he just reveal?

Bare dead trees?

Birds just passing by?

The sun is setting?

Hazy sunset?

I'll go! What does that mean exactly?

Also, what is the number of follow-up shells?

How much is a "ball"?

What is the specific number of "shovels" and "ghosts"?

Actually, there is a "yarn"?

Presumably, there should be a lot, right?

……

Receiving the letter from the insider, Daishan and Jilharang were also stunned!

Will the Ming army attack Xiping Fort?

Are you kidding?

The inside line of bullshit is not reliable at all!

At the beginning, the Ming army was equipped with mortars, and he did not send intelligence in time, so he lost more than 2,000 horses!

Immediately afterwards, the information that "the Ming army has tens of thousands of shells" was sent, which scared people a lot! For several days, I only dared to hide in Quang Ninh City and tremble!

Subsequently, the Ming army came to the city and sent the information that "the Ming army only has 5,000 shells", which makes it difficult to distinguish between true and false!

At this time, it was said that "the artillery shells of the Ming army are difficult to count";

It was also said that the Ming army might have had more powerful shells;

There is even more exaggerated, it is even said that the cavalry of the Ming army poured out of the nest, and they should use Xiping Fort as bait to try to encircle the point and send reinforcements!

This makes me wonder, with a dead eunuch leading the troops, the Ming army has become so bold?

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

There was an explosion again at the head of the city, and Dai Shan became more and more restless!

"Big Baylor, judging from all aspects, if the goal of the army is Xiping Fort, it is really possible!

You know, in Daling River, the Ming army still has more than 10,000 foot soldiers!

Their strongest combat effectiveness, the "Iron Armor Brocade Guard", is also stationed in the Daling River, with a strength of as many as 15,000!

At this time, I only had 3,000 old and weak soldiers in Xiping Fort, and my defense was very empty!

If, the Ming army of Daling River poured out, wouldn't Xiping Fort be broken with one blow?

You see, in this Guangning City, the Ming army only used 10,000 cavalry and 5,000 foot soldiers to contain more than 30,000 soldiers and horses of our army!

Isn't this a trap! ”

After analyzing the situation of the two armies, Dai Shan still had a hard time making a choice, and Zilharang continued: "Every hour, the Ming army shoots cannonballs at the head of the city, and I can't be at peace for a moment;

If I'm not mistaken, the dead eunuch's original intention was to drag me in Xiping Fort!

If, after the Ming army captures Xiping Fort, it turns its horse's head to surround Guangning, I will have no way out!

The emperor's soldiers and horses are far away in Seoul, we can't count on them! ”

"Say no more, let me be quiet!"

"Big Baylor ......"

"Let's go out for the time being, I'll think about it again!"

"Alas!"

Zilharang let out a long sigh and left helplessly.

From beginning to end, I read the letter from the inside line again, and Dai Shan only felt a chill down his spine!

If the intelligence on the inside line is accurate, Xiping Fort is really dangerous!

Zierharang is right, after the Ming army captured Xiping Fort, it is likely to surround Guangning with cavalry, and then approach Shengjing with elite foot soldiers!

Could it be that the "Ming army is ready for a bitter battle" mentioned in the letter is precisely for this?

I'll go!

If you really do this, you are likely to be completely wiped out!

Shengjing may also be lost!

On a cold day, Dai Shan's forehead was dripping with cold sweat!

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that I was too worried!

According to the information obtained by the sentinels, the infantry of the Ming army stationed in Daling River did not move!

They rushed to Xiping Fort, even if it was a rapid march, it would take two days to say the least!

In other words, it is impossible for the Ming army to attack Xiping Fort!

Belch......

No, the time and place, it's not right!

It really takes two days to get from Daling River to Xipingbao! However, if you rush from Quang Ninh to Si Binh Fort, it will only take one day!

The letter said that the cavalry of the Daling River would arrive in Quang Ninh at noon tomorrow?

Judging by the distance, it's entirely possible!

Well, that's right!

The foot soldiers attacking Xiping Fort must be from Quang Ninh!

If the infantry outside Quang Ninh City quietly withdraws, their target must be Xiping Fort!

Dead eunuch, really insidious! It's really a lot of guts!

Since the soldiers of Quang Ninh City are well fed, why don't you send a cavalry to chase and kill along the way?

No way!

They had muskets, they had artillery, and they had cavalry cover!

The real number of shells, now "uncountable"!

The last time the soldiers were lost, it was exactly like that!

So, get out of town early?

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the interception?

Even if the interception fails, or the Ming army's artillery fire is too fierce, it can still retreat to Xipingbao to deploy defenses first!

Oh, that's not right!

Why am I so stupid?

Now that you know the plan of the dead eunuch, why should you be led by his nose?

He wants to sneak attack Xiping Fort, I can do it!

If you're lucky, you can wipe out all the Guanning Iron Cavalry!

This army made the emperor hurt his brain, and he hated it to the core!

As long as it is completely annihilated, the main cavalry of the Ming army will only be left with the ironclad brocade guard, which is not to be feared!

As soon as the emperor returns to the division, he will be able to go straight to Shanhaiguan!

Hey!

After this battle, the emperor and all Baylor no longer dare to point fingers at me!

……

Wang Li doesn't like to stay in Liaodong, in addition to the cold weather, another reason is that he is not used to the time here!

Even in winter, the sun rises lazily as soon as the hour of the day arrives; Just after the afternoon of Shen, the sky gradually darkened.

At this time, outside the city of Quang Ninh, it is Shen Shi!

There is only one hour left until the time for the foot soldiers to evacuate!

What puzzled Chen Qiyu was that he had not withdrawn his army yet, and a group of more than 10,000 Eight Banners had withdrawn first!

"Eight Banners out of the East Gate? Heading southeast? ”

"That's true, it should be, it's Dai Shan's leader!

Judging from the direction, it should be going to Xipingbao!

However, Quang Ninh's surrounding terrain is flat, and they can change routes at will in the middle of the route, which can be anywhere!

Therefore, the news reported back by our army is not necessarily accurate and timely!

If Dai Shan intercepts and kills in the retreat direction of my foot soldiers, it will be dangerous! ”

Song Zhe's words do make sense!

shocked Chen Qiyu into a cold sweat!

I didn't expect that guy to be good at fighting!

The Liaohe Plain, extending in all directions, is where cavalry comes in!

A foot soldier exposed to the field, if there is no cavalry cover, is meat on the chopping block!

The planned retreat plan will no longer dare to be implemented!

At this moment, you can only stand still!

At the same time, send enough sentinels to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the Daishan Department!

Song Yi and Zu Dashou, you must arrive on time!

Otherwise...... Alas......

In the anxiety, Chen Qiyu was unwilling to eat and didn't dare to sleep at night!

At the end of the day, the sentinels reported the location of the Daishan Department in batches, which made Chen Qiyu even more puzzled!

Dai Shan, this guy, is he bored?

Or, do you feel uncomfortable staying in the city and want to cool off in the snow?

Until now, he is still moving in the direction of Xipingbao, why on earth?

If he wants to detour behind him, this detour is too big!

If he divides his troops back to defend Xiping Fort, it seems that there is no need for this, right?

Xiping Fort is empty, indeed yes!

However, Quang Ninh didn't take it!

Even if you lend me 10,000 guts, you won't dare to fight the idea of Xipingbao!

That's it, if you can't figure it out, you don't have to think about it, it's not a bad thing anyway - he went to the direction of Xipingbao, and he can't return before dawn!

It's impossible to go around behind yourself before noon!

Whatever his purpose, the overall plan for the retreat remains the same, with only minor changes!

"Siege?" Song Zhe couldn't believe his ears, and thought he had heard it wrong: "Brother Chen, are you talking about siege?" Attack Quang Ninh City?

But...... Even if the city gates are breached, what can they do?

There are still 20,000 defenders in the city, are we not killing ourselves? ”

"No, no, no, I'm just feinting!" Chen Qiyu waved his hand again and again and explained:

"While I feigned to attack the city, I used cavalry to go around to the southeast of Quang Ninh, and made a posture of pursuing Dai Shan, or blocking Dai Shan's return to help, and then deliberately let the defenders in the city find out;

At this time, it was night, and Zilharang in the city had only two ways to deal with it: either follow with a part of the cavalry from afar, or continue to hold on to the city;

No matter how he responded, he was dragged by me around Quang Ninh City;

At the west gate, if my foot soldiers feint for a while and then quietly retreat, he will not dare to pursue him;

When the time came, our cavalry turned back to the west, and quickly joined up with the infantry;

In this way, Zilharang did not dare to chase even more!

As long as I hold on until noon, until the reinforcements arrive, I can sit back and relax and get out of the way! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Qiyu's plan was indeed perfect, and Song Zhe no longer questioned: "Since Brother Chen is planning in his chest, then do as you say, and I will give the order!" ”
