"These Ming troops are really tenacious!" Nuerhachi sighed as he looked at the tens of thousands of Ming troops who once again formed a formation to retreat in the dark night. And his enemy, needless to say, was leading four general soldiers.

Sun Chengzong.

Since being embellished by the Jurchens, they have never been able to get rid of them, and the opponent seems to be in no rush to attack. They just keep following, charging and shooting arrows, constantly harassing them. The Jurchen arrows are very poisonous.

They are all big bows and heavy arrows, and are very powerful. Once they are shot, it is almost impossible to survive.

Charges again and again, flying shots again and again, and being beaten without being able to fight back, the defeated soldiers ran away one after another. In the end, only the four general soldiers were left. These people were the ones Sun Chengzong could directly control.

of military strength.

During the retreat, Sun Chengzong relied on his superb command ability and military wisdom to repulse the Jurchen attacks many times. He even retained most of the food, but only a small part was snatched by the Jurchens to maintain their survival.

Fortunately, because the Jurchens wanted to plunder the spoils of Guangning and surrounding strongholds and fortresses, they wasted two days and allowed them to run most of the distance. Therefore, they only dealt with a few pursuits by small Jurchen troops. Ningyuan was watching from a distance. They had already

We are gradually approaching here.

There is no city built here in Ningyuan, there is only a small guardhouse here, which cannot be used for defense. Fortunately, Sun Chengzong's goal is not here, but to get over here, and drag the Jurchens across here together.

Ningyuan is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side. It has Shoushan Mountain to the east and Kukong Mountain to the west. The road in and out is sandwiched in between. Although the road is not narrow, the terrain is complicated. Taking advantage of the terrain here, a wave of ambushes were ambushed.

After the Jurchens drove them away, Sun Chengzong led them away without looking back, without even looking at Ning Yuan.

Nuerhachi, who followed closely behind, also came here half an hour after Sun Chengzong left. Already filled with anger, he only glanced briefly at the place, and hurriedly chased his enemy. Although he

He felt that the terrain here was strange, but he didn't think much about it. Instead, Huang Taiji looked at the surrounding terrain with a thoughtful expression.

However, while chasing the enemy, he did not have much time to think. Large numbers of Jurchen cavalry entered from the north and then went out from the south, without stopping here too much. He did not even notice that the Jurchen cavalry was built on the seaside.

In the guardhouse, there were always people peeking secretly.

"Quickly, let's go and rule your majesty. The Jurchens have already crossed Ningyuan!" The Jinyiwei who were here to gather information looked excited. After Nuerhachi's large army left, they secretly left the city and came to the seaside, dragging them out from the secret place.

After taking a small boat, we headed straight to Juehua Island.

The Western Liaoning Corridor is the only passage between Liaodong and the interior. Except for detouring through Mongolia, the Jurchens must pass here if they want to enter the Central Plains. Ningyuan is located in the middle of the Western Liaoning Corridor. The terrain is dangerous and the location is key.

must pass through the city.

About an hour later, a large number of black spots appeared on the sea outside Ningyuan. The black spots were small at first, but quickly grew in size, and then there were white soft sails and densely packed lucky ships.

Ningyuan is close to the sea, and the Ming Kingdom is not a race like the Jurchens without any navigation ability. Naturally, there are ports and docks here. Although they are small and dilapidated, they are enough for those lucky ships to dock.

Soon, the Galen ship with soft sails stopped, and the Fu ship behind it quickly passed them without stopping, came to the shore, and began to dock. Then, groups of Yulin Army soldiers came from

They got off the boat and gathered on the shore. They held spears and guns in their hands and formed a square formation to guard the place and ensure a safe landing in the future.

As the number of people increased, the Yulin Army began to set up camp and build camps, and various materials were sent down. In addition to gunpowder and pellets, the most important artillery was sent down first.

Afterwards, the commander of the artillery regiment began to look for a suitable hilltop to arrange the artillery position. The Zhu Youxiao position was divided into two parts. One part was located on the top of Ningyuanwei's city. Although the city wall was not very high, it was still a commanding height.

One is placed on the hillside halfway up the west side. The condescending terrain can almost increase the range of the artillery by half. In this way, combined with the cannons of the gunboats and the artillery at the head of Ningyuan City, the entire Western Liaoning Corridor can be blocked.

The Western Liaoning Corridor is narrow, with a width of about eight to fifteen kilometers, while Ningyuan is not the narrowest, but it is not wide either, only about ten kilometers.

The six-pound cannon has a range of three kilometers, the twelve-pound cannon also has a range of three to five kilometers, and the navy's latest sixteen-pound cannon has a terrifying range of five kilometers. Such a range and the layout of the artillery positions are enough to seal this place to death, regardless of

No matter what position the Jurchens are in, they will receive a fatal blow.

"It's almost time, let's set up camp here!" Sun Chengzong looked at the sky, calculated the time it would take for him to leave Ningyuan Guard, and then said to the four general soldiers who had been following him.

In the Liaoxi Corridor, there are various large and small guard posts. After leaving the Ningyuan Guard, in front of Sun Chengzong, is the Ningyuan Zhongyou Post. There are the two generals he sent there before, Luo Yiguan and Zu Dashou.

Although Sun Chengzong was being pursued, he did not cut off contact with the rear. The pursuit stopped all the way, giving him enough time to arrange. Luo Yiguan and Zu Dashou had summoned 30,000 elite troops and had been on the move.

Waiting for orders here.

Although Sun Chengzong kept running, he did not abandon a carriage. He would rather throw the food in the carriage to the Jurchens than give up the carriage, because it was what they used for camping and it was also a powerful weapon for repelling Jurchen attacks many times.

After hearing his order to set up camp, the four general soldiers quickly began to lead the people into action. They had done these actions many times along the way and were very skilled. The soldiers gathered the carriage in an orderly manner and then formed a circle.

As soon as the camp took shape, several fast horses galloped out. They were going to notify Luo Yiguan and Zu Dashou to come over and defend against the enemy.

Many days of fighting reduced the strength of the four generals by more than 10,000, and also made them very tired. Their combat effectiveness has seriously declined. If no one is available to respond, they may not be able to deal with the Jurchens.

Rumble, not long after the fast horse left, the Jurchen cavalry came rolling in.

"Well done, as long as I hold you here for one night, don't leave." Looking at the black torrent, Sun Chengzong murmured to himself, his eyes were blood red, and it was obvious that the old man had been shaken by running away for many days.

Very tired.

Soon, the Jurchen army arrived in front of the camp. Nuerhachi drove his horse forward and looked angrily at the camp in front of him. It was the Ming army generals inside. He repeatedly failed to succeed, but instead lost a lot of soldiers and horses.

.And until now, he still doesn’t know who is commanding inside.

But Huang Taiji didn't pay attention to this. He just looked at the opponent's camp strangely. He found that the opponent's method of setting up camp this time was completely different from before. This time it was much stronger and clumsy, and he could not evacuate in time. The opponent seemed not to intend to leave.
