Seeing that the blue flag finally had an advantage in Nanguan, Zilharang also showed a long-lost smile.

Although his blue banner is likely to be crippled again in this battle, if he can take Nanguan and open the way for Dajin to seize the rich plain, these sacrifices are worth it.

On the South Pass, the guerrilla Yu Hualong said to a few soldiers: "You don't quickly cover the Yan Jian army to go down to the city, this place is about to be undefended." ”

However, Yan Mingtai rejected his kindness and said that he would live and die with the soldiers.

Then he said to the gunners: "If the South Pass cannot be defended, you will smash the last batch of oil cans, and then ignite these powder kegs, and you must not leave the artillery to the Tartars!" ”

At this time, the fighting in the city became fierce again, and the reinforcements from all walks of life finally arrived!

First, the garrison He Maoguan led 800 Ming troops to the city to support, and then Liu Dayu, a guerrilla in Beiguan, also led more than 1,000 Ming troops to rush over.

The arrival of the two support armies greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army in the city, and they also took advantage of the situation to counterattack.

Mao Wenlong was even more like a killing god possessed at this time, constantly waving the long knife in his hand, and the Tartars fell to the ground one after another where the blade passed.

Taking advantage of the fact that the tartars were retreating a little, Yan Mingtai shouted: "Throw the fire oil canister to the city!" ”

Soon there was the sound of clay pots being smashed.

After all, the tartar has also been burned several times, and when I saw that a jar had fallen, I ran directly, for fear that I would become a roasted pig if I ran slowly.

Soon there was a sea of fire under the city, and the ladder of siege was burning again.

This meant that it was impossible for any reinforcements to go to the city in a short period of time, and the remaining Tartars in the city had no hope and their morale plummeted, and after resisting for a while, they were strangled by several Ming troops.

Of course, the price paid by the Ming army was also quite huge.

Originally, after Yu Hualong led his troops to support, the Ming army on Nanguan had been replenished to 3,700 people.

But with Geng Yue's dedication and the two waves of sieges with blue flags, there are now only 1,300 people left, a reduction of two-thirds.

Fortunately, reinforcements from all walks of life arrived one after another, and now the strength of Nanguan has recovered to 6,700 people.

In particular, the 700 bird guns brought by Pingyuwei and Tielingwei made the Lumi guns and bird guns in the city have reached 900 strokes, which is already a rather terrifying number.

Soon after, Zhang Wenshan, the governor of Kaiyuan, brought 2,000 young people, as well as the most urgently needed fierce fire oil and other materials in Nanguan.

After learning that Nanguan was attacked by tens of thousands of prisoners, Zhang Wenzhi immediately borrowed materials from the people and merchants in the city in the name of the state capital, and recruited young people to help in the war, and the gentry and people of Kaiyuan responded one after another.

After all, they are also clear about the tragic situation of Fushun and Qinghe last year, and if Nanguan loses, the consequences are unimaginable.

After losing 3,000 men, the Blue Banner has also lost the ability to continue the siege.

Nurhachi, who was watching the battle in the rear, turned pale, and he didn't say a word at this time.

After several rounds of siege battles, he lost more than 5,000 Eight Banners, which made all his previous efforts to replenish his troops come to naught.

The two blue flags were scrapped again.

Judging from the current situation, reinforcements from the Ming Kingdom have arrived in Nanguan.

At this time, he was also in a dilemma.

If he withdraws his troops at this point, not to mention the huge losses of the previous siege, it will be difficult to make up for the huge losses in the previous siege, and his reputation will also fall sharply.

Let's keep fighting, I don't know how many more soldiers and horses will be filled in?

If you can't take it in a short time, you have to face Li Xianzhong's Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and the risk is too great.

At this time, Huang Taiji was also silent, and his intuition told him that they should stop the loss in time at this time.

According to the news just from Tanma, the reinforcements from Shenyang have also gone north, and the Ming army in Fushun Pass has also shown signs of leaving the pass.

But he couldn't say this, because once he brought it up, not only would the Great Khan not agree, but he would become the target of the banner-lord Baylor, and even they would put all the blame for this defeat on themselves.

In fact, the person who was most determined to start a war with the Ming State in the Later Jin Dynasty was not Nurhachi, but the Great Bel Daishan.

Before the attack on Fushun last year and the previous battle of Salhu, Nurhachi hesitated, and each time it was under the strong command of Dai Shan that he strengthened his determination to start a war against the Ming Kingdom.

At this time, Shi Shan said: "Great Khan, there is no turning back arrow when I open the bow, I am willing to lead the two red flags to fight again, and I will definitely be able to take Nanguan!" ”

Mang Gurtai also said: "I am willing to help the Great Baylor!" ”

Soon, Nanguan once again gathered the army of Jianyu.

With Dai Shan's order, a group of Eight Banners wearing red armor quickly launched a charge towards Nanguan.

At this time, the Ming army on Nanguan can be described as strong soldiers and strong firepower.

Soon they started a new round of competition.

The two sides of Ming and Jin were killing in front of Guangshun Pass when it was dark.

Li Xianzhong didn't know anything about it, and at this time he was rushing to attack the lair of the Mongolian Horqin tribe with Zai Sai.

Korqin means archer or guard with bow and arrow in Mongolian, and is a tribe led by the descendants of Habtu Hazar, the brother of Genghis Khan.

Today's Korqin is part of southern Mongolia, and although it still ostensibly worships Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar tribe, it is actually in a state of independence.

Lin Dan Khan was unable to mobilize the Horqin tribes at all, and he had already intended to conquer.

And the fried flower department where Zaisai is located belongs to Inner Khalkha Mongolia and obeys the orders of Lin Dan Khan.

Therefore, his attack on Horqin this time will not only not cause Lin Dan Khan's dissatisfaction, but may also be rewarded by Lin Dan Khan.

In fact, Horqin is also composed of many tribes, which are mainly divided into left and right wings.

Ming'an was only a Baylor on the left wing of Horqin, and at least a few people in the Horqin division were of equal status at this time.

These include his two brothers, Manggus and Hungol on the left wing of Horqin, and his cousin Oba on the right wing of Horqin.

Among them, Oba is the nominal boss of the Korqin Ministry. However, the strongest is Ming An's brother Mangus.

Zaisai said: "According to reliable information, it is the third department of the left wing of Horqin that sent troops to Yeh this time. However, our target is not the Ming'an Ministry, but the Manggusi Ministry. ”

Li Xianzhong asked with some doubts: "Why didn't you sweep all the three divisions of Horqin's left wing, I don't know if the leader of Zaisai has no confidence in your subordinates, or has no confidence in the Liaodong Iron Cavalry of this general?" ”

Hearing Li Xianzhong say this, Zai Sai gasped, thinking that this General Li is really a big appetite, there are more than 100,000 troops in the entire Horqin Left Wing Three, and they can send 20,000 cavalry, and their strength is only one-third of them.

Not to mention whether it can be swallowed or not, if it is really swallowed in one bite, it is estimated that even Lin Dan Khan will be red-eyed.

I don't want to be the public enemy of the grassland.

So he said: "There are nearly 200,000 people in the three divisions of the left wing of Horqin, we can't eat one bite, Manggus occupies the most abundant piece of water and grass in the Horqin grassland, and has the most goods, so let's eat him first." ”

Li Xianzhong thought to himself, it seems that this Zai Sai is not good for Zhizhi.

So he smiled and said: "Then listen to you, there are too many things, and it's very troublesome for me to move them all at once!" ”

After a day and a night of running, they finally reached their destination, and several of them came to a hill on the outskirts of the camp.

As far as the eye can see, the grassland with abundant water and grass is densely packed with yurts, and countless cattle and sheep roost on the nearby pastures.

At this time, Horqin's cavalry had also begun to assemble, and many cavalry were gathering together from all directions and advancing in their own direction.

Obviously, the cavalry of the Manggus Department had discovered Li Xianzhong and the others who had come to attack.

However, there is no way to do this, and it is impossible to hide their whereabouts with the rush of tens of thousands of cavalry.

Judging from the size of the cavalry, the scale of about three or four thousand people, compared to the scale of more than 40,000 people in the Manggus Division, the number of these cavalry is obviously not matched, and their main force should not be here.

Soon, the 2,500 Liaodong iron cavalry led by Zha Zhongwen appeared in front of the Mongols.

At this time, the rest of the cavalry had naturally formed an encirclement of this camp, and it was too easy to deal with these unarmored Mongolian cavalry with the strength of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.

Li Xianzhong said: "Leader of Zaisai, I don't think we can divide the account in the future, every time it is my Liaodong iron cavalry that takes the lead, and the Mongolian cavalry enjoys the fruits of victory on the side, which is not fair!" ”

Zai Sai said: "General Li's Liaodong Iron Cavalry is strong, and my men and horses don't dare to steal your demeanor, and they are only worthy of giving you assistance." ”

"As for the distribution, the Manggus Department is a famous tribe of beauties on the grassland, or you will choose the beauties this time?"

Li Xianzhong scolded secretly: Old fox, these things will be stored with you for a while, and they will eventually return to my hands through trade anyway.

While the two were talking, the two sides were already fighting together.

Although the battlefield was filled with shouts of killing and the neighing of war horses, it seemed to be very intense, but it didn't take long for the winner to be decided.

Originally, the combat power of the Horqin cavalry was far inferior to that of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, not to mention that these were not the main forces.

I saw that the Liaodong Iron Cavalry easily broke through the formation of the Mongols, and then it was basically to chop melons and vegetables.

At this time, the rest of the cavalry also killed the Korqin camp from the other direction, and the battle ended in less than half an hour.

This sortie can be described as a full harvest, and nearly 30,000 Korqin troops were captured in this battle, and countless goods of all kinds were counted.

Li Sanshun laughed and said, "It is roughly estimated that there are almost 120,000 taels of gold and silver jewelry this time. ”

Li Xianzhong said to Zai Sai again: "This time I will divide 3,000 war horses, 2,000 cattle, and 5,000 sheep. Just ask the leader of Zaisai to drive these animals to Xiguan for me!" ”

With so many livestock, it's not a pity, Li Xianzhong is going to build a ranch outside Xiguan by himself, and by the way, he will improve the food for the soldiers.

Soon two cute little girls caught his attention.

The eldest girl was about ten years old, although she was not yet mature, but she was obviously a beauty, with a pair of big watery eyes and refined facial contours, so that Li Xianzhong couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

The little girl is only five or six years old, but she is also quite clever and cute.

Zai Sai said with a wicked smile: "This is Manggus's two granddaughters, the eldest one is called Hai Lanzhu, and the younger one is called Bumu Butai. This is a pair of beautiful sisters, if Li Zongbing likes them, he might as well accept them, and in a few years, they will be slim. ”

Li Xianzhong didn't expect that the two people in front of him were actually them.

One is Hai Lanzhu, the love of Huang Taiji's life, and the other is the famous filial piety.

So he said: "Then the general will thank the leader of Zaisai for cutting love!" ”

Just when he was still thinking about what was wrong, he saw Zha Zhongwen say with a panicked expression: "Young General, the big thing is not good, the main force of Jianyu is storming Guangshun Pass, and it is pouring out, Yan Jian Jun asked you to hurry back to the division!" ”
