"Wang Qi has been in ambush on May 23, the Ming army in Songshan Fort was killed, Zu Dashou, Luo Yi and others were killed, the Ming army in Liaodong has been defeated, the entire north of Shanhaiguan, only a lonely city of Ningyuan City remains, the Ming court still gave up the rescue, except surrender, there is no other way!"

For seven days in a row, the entire city tower of Ningyuan City was shrouded in this kind of oversized horn, day and night.

In a trance, the people and soldiers in the city seemed to believe that Wang Qi was really dead, that the Ming army of Songshan Fort was killed, that Ningyuan was a lonely city, and that the court was abandoned.

The entire Ningyuan City began to be shrouded in confusion and tension.

"For three days in a row, people fled out of the city every day, and rumors began to increase in the city, all of which were not conducive to the stability of our army" Yuan Chonghuan Yintang was in the dark, and he did not rest for several days, and the oil was already exhausted.

"If anyone dares to spread rumors, disturb my people's hearts, and make an example of them to deter Xiaoxiao!" Xiong Tingbi's face was red and black, and he must have been on the verge of collapse, so he looked at Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao: "What about the army?" ”

"The army is quite stable, and if there is a slight change, there will be military law! From the general army to the small flag, they all set an example and did not leave the chaos. "Man Gui and Zhao led the teaching and management of the army quite strategically, and in the entire Ningyuan City, the upper and lower soldiers have been loyal so far.

"But my lord, our food can't last long, if there are no reinforcements, or the war can't end in a short time," Yuan Chonghuan said with a slight heaviness: "When the time comes, even if there is no Houjin to make trouble by the side, we will sit and wait for the oil to run out."

"What do you mean by the elements?" Xiong Tingbi heard the meaning of Yuan Chonghuan's words.

And Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao also looked up at this civil official who had experienced life and death together.

"Within three days, if there is no better opportunity, you can only find an opportunity to break through," Yuan Chonghuan is not a person who is trapped and waiting for death, his ambition is unpaid, he does not want to die and the lights go out.

"Breakout?" Xiong Tingbi leaned back on the chair, and the tiredness of his body became more obvious: "How to break through, where to break through?" ”

No one answered him, but everyone knew that at this time, there was no choice but to go south to Shanhaiguan.

"Wait, wait," Xiong Tingbi shook his head, his voice losing the firmness it had at the beginning.

The sun had risen outside the hall, but everyone only felt that it was getting colder.

In the palace of Quang Ninh City, a front-line report was delivered to Nurhachi's desk.

"Sanbeiler's plan to attack the heart, so that Ningyuan people are in chaos, Xiong Tingbi and others are in danger, everyone is in danger, the spies and Neiying placed in my city have begun to spread rumors in the city, Sanbeile expects that within three days, Ningyuan City will fall!"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!!" Yijin Pa wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, Nurhachi put the notebook aside, looked at Tong Yangxing who was kneeling below, and said in a homely tone: "Ningyuan City is about to break." ”

"Congratulations to the master! Liaodong will soon be all submissive to my big gold! My Khan is eloquent and strategic, and should be the lord of the world! Tong Yang knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few more times.

"Wang Qi's trace, have you found it?" Nurha's red tiger eyes opened slightly, standing on the top of the jade steps, aiming at his own minion who had been following him for a long time.

"It has been determined that Wang Qi did not go to Shenyang with Horqin, nor is he in Ningyuan City" Tong Yang knelt there, sweating profusely on his forehead.

"And where did he go?" Nurhachi slowly bent down and looked at Tong Yangxing not far away: "What does he want to do?" ”

I didn't see Wang Qi for a day, even if Ningyuan City was broken, Nurhachi didn't have half a sense of joy.

"Minion," Tong Yangxing took a deep breath and raised his head: "Minion is bold, guess!" ”

"Huh?" Nurhachi frowned, waiting for the next sentence.

"The slave thinks that Wang Qi and his people should still be west of the Liao River," Tong Yangxing just said as soon as he spoke, and then said categorically: "Definitely west of the Liao River!" ”

"What does he want to do?" Nurhachi asked.

"This" Tong Yang hesitated for a long time and did not speak.

"He wants to repair the plank road in the dark, and wants to use Ningyuan City to attract my army first, and then when the troops in my hands are insufficient, he will show the head of Ben Khan to the public?" After a while, Nurhachi raised his head and laughed, coughing while laughing, as if he wanted to cough out his entire heart, liver, spleen and lungs.

"Good calculation! What a calculation! Nurhachi shook his head: "Liaodong is very big, Ben Khan doesn't know which corner he Wang Qi is hiding in waiting for an opportunity, but the identity is reversed, and Ben Khan's way to break the game is the only one." ”

"Then we" Tong Yangxing looked happy, as if he had thought of an excellent solution.

Nurhachi held his knees and got up slowly, at this moment, the sunlight poured down from the main entrance of the main hall, and spread directly to Nurhachi's feet, the Jianzhou Jurchen Emperor Khan, the nightmare of the Ming monarch and minister, this moment was like a saint in the eyes of Tong Yangxing, and he only heard him speak: "Lead the snake out of the hole, and then catch the turtle in the urn!" ”

"Wang Qi, I will kill him with my own hands! In honor of my son! ”

At this moment, more than 30 miles west of Guangning and more than 100 miles east of Houtun are among the mountains and mountains - Pulling.

More than 3,000 people, nearly half a month, from Ningyuan City along the Xiaoling River to the grassland, and then detour from the Shuangtai Valley, along the extinct mountains into Liaodong, in the mountains for seven days of arduous trekking, before arriving at the destination of the destination.

There is a natural mountain wall in this ridge, only more than ten people are guarded by a team, and the situation in the entire mountain road can be monitored at any time.

The place that Wang Qi's original owner found when he went out hunting was a deserted place, and almost no one knew about it except for a few hunters in the deep mountains.

These days, the news that comes and goes to communicate with the outside world relies on Lu Enguang's Jinyi Wei spy arranged in Liaodong.

Wang Qi was dressed in a dark drape at the moment, although it was close to summer, the temperature in the mountains was still extremely low, the long journey and the extinct mountains rarely slept and delicacies, the cheeks of this Liaodong general soldier were unusually thin, the edges and corners were like knives and axes, and only the eyes were still deep.

"My lord, the latest news, in order to break through Ningyuan City as soon as possible, the old slave issued an order to a few Baylors, whoever ascends Ningyuan City first, who is the next Wang Khan, judging from the time of receiving the news, Houjin has been pressed vigorously, five days have passed, Ningyuan City should be in danger, and the front line of Songshan Fort has been greatly reduced because of the withdrawal of most of the Houjin troops, and the pressure has plummeted, and my Jinyi Wei scouts can already contact General Zu and others!"

Lu Enguang reported the latest information to Wang Qi.

"Where's the old slave?" Wang Qi was sitting on a flat stone platform, munching on dry cakes with a slurred mouth, and mixing a mouthful of spring water from time to time.

"The will of this morning," Lu Enguang's clothes were in tatters, but his eyes were also unusually bright: "The old slave palace is dispatched, ready to go to Ningyuan City!" ”

Chewing on the extremely hard dough, Wang Qi stared at a flying bird in the distance: "Are you sure the old slave is in it?" ”

"There are more than 1,000 guards with him, and he will lead the remaining soldiers and horses to rush to the front to support, obviously to fight for the old slave to break the city before he arrives!"

"Press" Wang Qi swallowed the dry food in his mouth with great difficulty.

"Lu Xiangsheng!" Wang Qi called Lu Xiangsheng's name.

"The last general!" Lu Xiangsheng still maintains the demeanor of a civil official, neatly dressed and with armor and helmets.

"You and Lu Enguang together, go to Songshan Fort in person, tell the ancestor of the great birthday, don't care about Ningyuan City, and don't pay attention to the Houjin soldiers and horses under the mountain, fifty miles north of the mountain, if the old slave appears, I hope that he will lead all the soldiers of the ancestral family in Liaodong to attack and kill him!"

"The last general will be ordered!"

Lu Xiangsheng and Lu Enguang took the order and left.

Qin Erbao was guarding in the distance, and Wang Qi stood alone on the stone platform, looking at the birds that had gone away in the distance and muttered: "Slaughtered the son, here is Lao Tzu, if the chief slave dies, Liaodong will be in my hands!" ”
