On the third day of departure, Wang Qi and his entourage galloped through the starry night, and finally crossed the Shanhaiguan Pass and arrived outside Ningyuan City.

But the scene in front of him made the hearts of Wang Qi and his party sink to the valley.

"What's going on?" Lu Xiangsheng, who was originally high-spirited, looked at the routed soldiers who fled in the distance and headed towards Shanhaiguan, and was dumbfounded for a while.

The rout of the mountains and fields, mixed with countless people, all came from the north

Xiong Tingbi's recital book is very clear, counting the past few days of hurrying, that is, six days ago, the Ming army took advantage of the emptiness of Jianzhou's troops, directly pulled out, crossed the Liao River, and occupied Jianzhou's Haizhou Wei without much effort.

Moreover, the imperial court is seizing the time to build fortifications, and wants to unite Guangning Youtun and the guards east of the Liao River, so as to firmly hold the results of Haizhou Wei in his hands.

Now, how come the endless rout and refugees have to directly cross Ningyuan City and go to Guannei?

"Haizhou Wei is lost, is Ningyuan City gone?" Yuan Chonghuan rode his horse and Lu Xiangsheng almost side by side, looking at Ningyuan City in the distance.

"It's impossible for Ningyuan City to be lost!" Wang Qi's expression was solemn, and he raised his horsewhip and pointed at the routed soldiers who were constantly fleeing in the distance: "Erbao, go and arrest a few people to come over for questioning!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Qin Erbao didn't talk nonsense, took a few of his soldiers and rode out on horseback.

After a while, when he returned, he was already followed by several soldiers in broken armor.

"Little Liu Hei, meet the adults!" The black and thin soldier saw Wang Qi and Yu Xuanang, and knew that it was a big official, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, but the arm of this little flag officer was injured and hung there weakly at this time, and his chest and abdomen also had wounds, which looked a little infected, and he was obviously unable to do enough when he knelt on the ground.

Wang Qi gave him a look, and Liu Hei was helped up by Qin Erbao.

"Which battalion are you in? Who will be the subordinate department? Wang Qi sat on his horse and asked.

"The small one originally belonged to Guangning Zhongtun, and the small flag officer of the garrison battalion originally belonged to the deputy chief soldier of Guangning City, Lord Liu Qu!" Liu Hei stood there with his head bowed, heard Wang Qi's question, and replied obediently.

"What about Liu Qu?" Wang Qi frowned.

"Back to my lord's words, General Liu died in Haizhou Wei in order to cover the economic minister," Nunu, a small flag official named Liu Hei, lowered his eyes, and couldn't tell whether it was sadness or indifference on his face.

"Where's Xiong Tingbi?" Wang Qi tightened the reins, and his eyes were already full of anger. As a strategy along the way, greedy for merit and reckless advancement, not to mention the loss of troops, after the rout, he could not collect the troops, resulting in the loss of a large area of land, and the crime was unforgivable!

"After being escorted by Lord Zu, now in Ningyuan City, the city defense is being organized, but the defeat is like a mountain, and the number of routs is like a cow's hair, in addition to the more than 3,000 cavalry in Guangning City, there are more than 20,000 defenders in Ningyuan City, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are all scattered and fled to the pass." Liu Hei obviously ran all the way back from Haizhou Wei, and he knew a lot about the situation.

"Haizhou Wei, Guangning City, Youtun, Zhongwei, Left Guard, Rear Guard, and north of the Big and Small Ling Rivers, nearly 100 fortresses, six days, all lost?" Wang Qi laughed angrily.

No one answered Wang Qi's words, Lu Xiangsheng was silent, and Yuan Chonghuan stared blankly at the distance, speechless and choked.

"Adult, can the little one go?" Liu Hei poked his head cautiously and asked weakly.

Wang Qi's gaze swept over Liu Hei's body, and the little flag officer, who was covered in injuries, was afraid that he couldn't even lift the knife.

"I, Wang Qi, don't like to force others, you can go!"

The rout is like a mountain, and Wang Qi doesn't like to use these routs.

From Fang Cai's words, Wang Qi also learned that the more than 3,000 cavalry he left in Guangning City had arrived in Ningyuan City, and there were originally more than 20,000 soldiers in the city.

"Are you Wang Baihu?" Liu Hei was stunned when he heard this, then opened his mouth slightly, trembling slightly with excitement, and then knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and said angrily: "Little Liu Hei is willing to follow the adults and kill back to Guangning City!" ”

Liu Hei knocked on the ground with his head, looking excited.

This sudden change made Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan stunned.

In just three months, Wang Qi's reputation in Liaodong has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, unlike the people in the capital, these low-level soldiers in Liaodong have a much better understanding of the actual situation in Liaodong than those in Shanhaiguan.

The ordinary soldiers of Liaodong are even more crazy about their respect and worship for Wang Qi.

At the age of nineteen, who can lead the army into the grassland and kill Huang Taiji?

Ban Chao, Huo Quai?

Ordinary soldiers didn't understand this, they saw with their own eyes that Wang Qi asked Nurhachi to retreat 300 miles, and saw Wang Qi's 100 people enter the grassland, as if they were in a no-man's land, so that the northern captives took the initiative to unite with the Ming Dynasty to resist Jiannu.

"Let's go back to Shanhaiguan," Wang Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Liu Hei, who had lost half of his combat effectiveness.

"The little ones can contact the brothers around them, about a hundred people, they also have some friends, contact each other, and there are about a thousand more people available!" Liu Hei looked at Wang Qi with an eager face: "As long as you eat and drink!" The small ones can also carry knives on the horse! Hack and slash Jiannu"

Looking at Liu Hei, who was covered in scars, the corners of Wang Qi's mouth twitched slightly, and then he said: "If you have the heart, early tomorrow morning, call your brothers and go back to Ningyuan City!" ”

After that, Wang Qi turned around on his horse and took Lu Xiangsheng and the others towards Ningyuan City in the distance.

"Little Thanks, Lord !!"

Liu Hei's voice sounded in the back, with excitement and joy.

The bottom characters have always been easier to move and believe in heroic characters.

In other words, they have always been willing to believe that there are such heroes in the world, and take them to find the dawn.

————

Half an hour later, Wang Qi and the others arrived outside Ningyuan City.

"Who's under the city?" Ningyuan City is now loud and sound, and the grass and trees are all soldiers.

A large part of the reason for the fall of Haizhou Wei was the internal spies, the internal and external cooperation, and the sudden attack, which enabled Jiannu to succeed.

Therefore, after Xiong Tingbi arrived in Ningyuan City, he gave a death order, and everyone who entered Ningyuan City must be strictly inspected, and they would rather kill the wrong person than let it go.

Appeal!!

Qin Erbao stepped forward: "Under the city, the chief military officer of Liaodong, Wang Qi, quickly open the city gate!! ”

Wang Qi?

Qin Erbao's voice came out, causing the soldiers in the city to panic for a while.

In just a moment, the gate of Ningyuan City slowly opened.

A group of generals in fine white armor rode out on horseback

"The last general will meet your !!"

After Wang Qi saw the appearance of the person who came, he said in a deep voice: "Get up, follow me into the city!" ”

The one who came was none other than 20 generals who Wang Qi originally stayed in Guangning City.

At the beginning, Xiong Tingbi wanted to send troops to Haizhou Wei, but because he did not have Wang Qi's warrant, he could not mobilize the more than 3,000 cavalry, so he could only leave them in Guangning City, but then the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and Haizhou Wei fell overnight, and the Jiannu army, which was supposed to appear in North Korea, appeared on the line of the Liao River and advanced to Guangning City.

Seeing that nothing could be done, in order to retain strength, more than 3,000 people went south to Ningyuan City, and more than 20,000 people in Ningyuan City converged, intending to defend accordingly.

Now, these more than 3,000 people have become the last hole card for Wang Qi's counterattack on Jiannu.
