Looking at Li Xianzhong's distant back, Xiong Tingbi's expression still looked very solemn.

Yan Mingtai was relieved: "Xiong Jingluo is worried that General Li will be ambushed by Jianyu when he goes here?" ”

Xiong Tingbi said helplessly: "This time Ye He is not easy to save, although Mr. Li has 5,000 elites, but if Jianyu has a calculating heart, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious than lucky?" ”

Xiong Tingbi has analyzed a series of victories achieved by Li Xianzhong.

In fact, they all avoided the real and attacked the false, and attacked the Jianyu in a surprise way.

It has always been Li Xianzhong who has the initiative on the battlefield and led the enemy by the nose.

He is better at luring the enemy deeper, and he always lures the enemy to the battlefield of his choice.

And this kid will never face the main force of Jianzhou head-on, and the two attacks on Hetuara are all taking advantage of the absence of the main force to steal the house.

This time, it was not easy for him to save Ye He from under the noses of Jianzhou and Horqin.

Yan Mingtai knows a lot about Li Xianzhong, and knows that this kid has always played cards according to routines.

He smiled and said: "I think General Li will be fine, I guess he will definitely not go directly to Yehe, if he guesses correctly, he should be running to Horqin's camp at the moment." ”

Hearing this, Xiong Tingbi finally smiled and said, "If you use soldiers like this, the old man is a little worried." ”

At this time, Yuan Yingtai on the side said impatiently: "I see that you are all blindly worried, Li Xianzhong will not be okay at all, most likely this is Jianyu's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, let's guard this Nanguan, I think there will be a fierce battle here in the near future." ”

Yuan Yingtai, this guy is yin and yang all day long, and he really can't spit out ivory in his mouth.

Not to mention Li Xianzhong, even Gao Zhen, the general on the side, wants to smoke him a little, so can't he hope for something good?

Li Xianzhong's 5,000 cavalry went directly out of the north pass of the town and headed for Yehebu City.

On the hillside outside the pass, several sentry riders were observing the movement outside the pass, and one of them said with a smile: "The cavalry of the Ming army covers the sky and the sun, and there is no end in sight, and it looks like there are at least four or five thousand horsemen." ”

"You quickly go and report to Sibeile, the main force of the Ming army has been dispatched and is advancing in the direction of Yehe."

After the Ming army marched twenty miles, Li Xianzhong suddenly shouted: "The whole army stops advancing!" ”

Li Sanshun asked puzzledly: "Ye He is in danger now, don't we hurry up to the rescue?" ”

Historically, under the all-out attack of Nurhachi's main force of the Eight Banners, the two eastern and western cities of Yehe still resisted for several days, and if it were not for the Houjin army blowing down a section of the city wall of the eastern city with gunpowder, it is estimated that Yehe City would not be able to conquer it in a short time.

Now that the Houjin army is weaker than in the same period in history, Ye He has a three-eyed gun and some cloth armor, and his strength has been enhanced, and he is not worried that the old slave will break through the city at all.

It is estimated that the main force of the Eight Banners is now in front of the set, and he can't drill into it.

Li Xianzhong shouted: "To the west, we will go to the Mongolian steppe!" ”

Soon the Ming army turned its horse head and marched towards the grassland.

Soon after, there were five or six thousand Mongol cavalry on the steppe.

The person at the head is none other than Jae Sai of the Fried Flower Department.

After annexing his uncle's Rabbit Clan, he is now in great strength.

After the two exchanged a few words, Zai Sai said with a smile: "According to reliable information, the main cavalry of Ming'an has gone to Yehe, and now the camp in Horqin is empty. ”

Li Xianzhong said: "It seems that the leader of the Immortal Heaven favored the slaughter race, and sent you cattle, sheep and tribes, or the old rule, I will take the head, we will divide the property equally, and the tribes of Horqin will belong to you!" ”

Zai Sai's wrinkled face is now smiling, this is the second time he has cooperated with Li Xianzhong, and Li Zongbing is so bright.

If it weren't for the fact that he was too much older than Li Xianzhong, I am afraid he would have to settle down with this Li Zongbing.

It's a pity that Ye Hebu took the lead, and he had to wait for Li Xianzhong to marry Hazia before giving him his daughter as a concubine.

At this time, these two groups of more than 10,000 men and horses galloped directly towards the base camp of Horqin Mongolia.

It's already May now, and it's been almost 2 months since the previous Liaodong War, and the Ming army is constantly replenishing its strength, and Nurhachi is naturally not idle.

He is also trying to recover his troops, but the Jurchen population is too small.

Although they recruited some more people from the "savage tribe" along the Heilongjiang River, and added some of the thirteen or fourteen-year-old people who were relatively sturdy and 60 to 65 years old and could still move freely, the total number of people was only 6,000.

Moreover, during this period, the 5 Niu Lu led by Fei Yingdong were all wiped out by Ye He.

A total of 4,500 people have been added inside and outside.

The total number of the Eight Banners of Jianzhou under his command was restored to 45,000.

In fact, he did not recover well, and Ye He's troubles made a lot of land in Jianzhou not catch up with spring ploughing.

But he couldn't wait any longer, because Da Ming recovered much faster than him.

According to intelligence, the Ming army has exceeded 70,000 people east of the Liaohe River, and if you count the Ming troops in Guangning, Yizhou, Jinzhou, and Ningyuan, the Ming army in the entire Liaodong is no less than 90,000.

Moreover, the follow-up reinforcements are constantly going to Liaodong, and I believe that in a few months, the number of Ming troops in Liaodong will greatly exceed their own.

What's even worse is that this Li Xianzhong is very restless, he not only repaired the Liaodong border wall of Tieling Road, but also finished the Mongolian fried flower department; married Yehe's Buyangu, and it was obvious that he must have done something behind Yehe's abnormality.

You don't have to think about it to know that he is going to go out of the customs next to take the initiative to harass Jianzhou.

At this time, the main forces of Jianzhou had all been concentrated in the boundary domain city east of Fushun Guan.

In fact, this city had already been built before the war with the Ming army, and now it has just been completed.

Sibeile Huang Taiji said: "Qi Great Khan, the 200,000 stone grain of the King of Korea has been delivered, and now our army has enough food to conquer the Ming Kingdom again." ”

Originally, under the joint destruction of Li Xianzhong and Ye He, the food in Jianzhou was not sufficient. So Huang Taiji suggested that the captured 5,000 Korean troops and the "king's man" Korean commander Jiang Hongli ask the king of Korea for food, and in the end, the king of Korea, Li Hui, obediently complied.

and promised to remain neutral and not to intervene in the war between the Ming Dynasty and Jianzhou.

Although the Eight Banners are insufficient, these are difficult for the old slave.

He turned the original 300 people into 215 people.

In this way, the cattle records lost by each flag were replaced.

Before the war, the eight banners of Jianzhou were a total of 210 Niulu, and now it is still 210 Niulu, of course, the two yellow flags with small losses were divided into some flags with the white flags to the other flags.

Although this practice of self-deception and deception cannot increase the number of troops, it can indeed enhance the self-confidence of the banner owners and resolve the internal contradictions of the Eight Banners.

Nurhachi knew very well that Jin's current strength would once again enter the hinterland of Liaodong in the Ming Kingdom, and it was a little unrealistic to capture Shenyang or Liaoyang.

His target was naturally his sworn enemy, Yehebe.

Only by annexing Yehe's subordinates can the bannermen of the Eight Banners have a greater recovery.

However, at present, the general army of the Ming State has changed from Ma Lin to Li Xianzhong, and the strength of the Ming army on the Kaiyuan Road has been strengthened.

If Jianzhou annexes Yehe, he will inevitably be flanked by the Ming army.

Therefore, his goal this time is to seize the Kaiyuan Road of the Ming Kingdom, even if he can't hold it for a long time, he will rob the Kaiyuan Road, so that the Ming army has no time to rescue Ye He.

Kaiyuan Road, which has three horse markets, is more fertile than the previous Fushun.

To this end, he sent 1,000 suspicious soldiers to haunt Yehe's territory, and directly sent the 1,000 pieces of cloth armor promised earlier to Horqin in exchange for them sending troops to contain Yehe.

Now it can be said that everything is in place, only the east wind is owed.

As a fast horse entered the Realm Domain, he finally waited for the "east wind" he wanted.

Huang Taiji said excitedly: "Qi Great Khan, Li Xianzhong's five thousand cavalry has already left Kaiyuan Beiguan and is currently rushing to Yehe City. ”

Nurhachi slapped his sweat seat heavily and said loudly: "Okay, the herald marches to Guangshun Pass!" ”

At this time, Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai, Zierharang, Du Du and others also seemed extremely excited, and their lost Niu Lu was replaced.

The deep and resolute look in the Khan's eyes gave them infinite confidence.

In addition to the Red Flag One Left Behind Hetuala, who contained the Ming army outside Fushun Pass, the rest of the main forces of 40,000 people went straight to Guangshun Pass.

In fact, the Boundary Domain City was still more than 40 miles away from Guangshun Pass, but they did not dare to gather their army too close to Guangshun Pass. In case it is detected by the Ming army's night retreat, the target of this attack will be exposed.

Jianzhou's preparations this time were very sufficient, in addition to the main force of 40,000 Eight Banners, the same number of auxiliaries were also dispatched.

They prepared not only siege equipment such as chariots and ladders, but also many empty carts, as well as mules and horses to carry goods and goods.

In their opinion, without Li Xianzhong and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, the original road was basically in an undefended state.

This time, they can plunder as much as they did when they invaded Fushun and Qinghe last year, and avenge the burning of Gule Village by the Ming army!

Nurhachi understood that the morale of Jianzhou was maintained by plunder, and as long as he succeeded in opening the original road this time, the previous losses could be remedied.

At this time, in his mind, he already had the wonderful expression of Li Xianzhong after returning to his teacher and seeing the ransacking of Kaiyuan Lubei.

However, he knew very well that this battle must be resolved quickly.

After all, it is impossible for the 1,000 suspicious soldiers in Yehe City to hold Li Xianzhong for too long, and the Horqin Mongols are even more unreliable.

The battle of the Eight Banners this attack was too big, and it was still discovered by the Ming army when it was ten miles away from Nanguan.

Soon after, a fast horse came to Guangshun Pass, and shouted at night: "The enemy is attacking, the main force of Jianyu is coming to attack Nanguan, hurry up and resist the enemy!" ”

At this time, Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Yingtai had returned to Kaiyuan City, and Guangshun Pass was garrisoned by Yan Mingtai, Gao Zhen and Mao Wenlong, as well as Yu Wanli and others who rushed to reinforce him.

Originally, Mao Wenlong was very excited when he heard the enemy attack. But when I heard that the Tartars were boundless, pouring out, and there were no less than seventy or eighty thousand war auxiliaries, I was still stunned!
