Zhou Dunji, Wang Hongyu and the chieftain soldiers have arrived at Hunhe. Qi Jin and Zhang Mingshi immediately informed them of the latest military situation.

"Something happened at Fengji Fort. More than tens of thousands of slaves launched a surprise attack at dawn. Li Bingcheng was defeated and abandoned Fengji Fort and fled."

Zhang Mingshi introduced that this was the news he got from the defeated troops not long ago.

After the previous victory, Li Bingcheng's troops were paralyzed and careless, and were attacked by heavy troops at dawn. The city wall was lost in half an hour, and the entire army was defeated and fled from the south gate.

"Have Li Bingcheng's troops been pursued? Do they need support? How many people are there now?"

Although Zhou Dunji's position was that of a general, in terms of ability, prestige and courage, all the generals also obeyed him. So when he asked this question, Qi Jin immediately answered.

"Li Bingcheng's troops have crossed the Hun River and fled to Liaoyang. They have not been pursued and have no intention of moving closer to our army."

"This is not possible... we are not being pursued... Shenyang is in danger!"

Qi Jin added: "I have sent Mr. Qian Zhao Hannian to remind Shenyang, and the news should have been sent to Shenyang by now."

"Report! Zhao Hannian is back!"

Zhao Hannian, who had fought side by side with Wang Hongyu many times, hurriedly ran over and said: "Shenyang He Shixian took his servants out, and You Shigong already knew the situation. When he came back from his humble post, he found that there were scouts from Huangqi Jiannu."

Wang Hongyu thought to himself that he was still a step too late.

Every step at this time will determine the life or death of many people.

"Immediately cross the river to rescue Shenyang! Immediately ask Li Bingcheng's troops to move closer to me! Immediately notify Liaoyang to send troops to support!"

Wang Hongyu made a prompt decision and said three words immediately.

Qi Jin and Zhou Dunji immediately made arrangements according to the plan.

The front part has stepped onto the pontoon bridge and is about to cross the river.

But just halfway across the river, a messenger from Liaoyang arrived.

"The generals of the Southern Army listen to the order. The generals have ordered you not to move without permission. Stop where you are and wait for orders. Otherwise, you will be charged with going north without permission!"

The messenger conveyed the order issued by Yuan Yingtai yesterday.

Wang Hongyu frowned and said angrily: "This order was issued yesterday. Now the enemy's situation has changed. Please forgive me for not being able to sit back and watch our friendly troops suffer!"

The messenger was about to reprimand, but he heard the roar of cannons in Shenyang City, and it was obvious that a battle had begun.

"Uh... I'm going to ask for advice."

"We are not asking for instructions now, but we are sending reinforcements immediately!"

Qi Jin also sent a group of messengers to follow Yuan Yingtai's messenger to request reinforcements.

Suddenly, black smoke billowed in the city of Shenyang. In addition to the roar of cannons, there were other explosions and a raging fire broke out.

Wang Hongyu and others, seven miles away, could see clearly.

The generals who had been fighting for so many years could tell at a glance that there were spies setting fire to the city and causing chaos.

Then He Shixian recruited so many Mongolian soldiers, and then he recruited Sun Qing's soldiers in a confused way, and Bao Chengxian may have problems. In the end, it caused a catastrophe!

Zhou Dunji clenched his fists with both hands, angry in his heart, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"We can't save Shen, so why should we stay here for three years?"

Zhou Dunji and the first group of veterans who aided the Liao Dynasty had been in Jiliao for three years. They had either been imprisoned due to injustice or were sent home because of their age.

Now to defend our country, no one will retreat, because the spirit of the Ming army is in everyone.

Zhou Dunji is usually stable and does not like to cause trouble like his second and third brothers, but at the critical moment, the anger deep in his heart has become uncontrollable.

"Avenge General Liu who died in battle! Avenge our compatriots who died in battle! Cross the river!"

The roar shook the heaven and the earth. The Sichuan soldiers, the Baigan soldiers and the Youyang soldiers crossed the bridges and pontoons, facing Shenyang in formation with their backs to the Hun River.

Qi Jin, Zhang Mingshi, Zhao Hannian and others had already built the pontoon bridge, and now they had to cross the river together to form an array, and together with the Sichuan and local soldiers, they fought to the death with Jiannu.

"General Qi, wait a minute, our army is still going according to plan..."

Wang Hongyu got close to several generals of the Zhejiang army and whispered: "It's still Sichuan. The soldiers crossed the river to repel the enemy's first attack. We will try our best to rescue Shenyang and then immediately withdraw to the south of the Hun River.

The guns, artillery and chariots of the Zhejiang soldiers must not be moved easily, so they must be prepared to receive them on the south bank of the Hun River. There will be a real decisive battle later!"

Qi Jin, who is almost 70 years old, can almost be regarded as a grandfather in front of Wang Hongyu, and his position as deputy general is higher than that of a guerrilla general. If it were anyone else, he would definitely not listen.

However, he is Wang Hongyu, and this man helped Qi Jiajun take revenge!

Wang Bao, the commander-in-chief who plotted against the Qi family army, died of illness. His son Wang Xue Shu tried to harm the Zhejiang soldiers again, but he saw through it and defused it, and he also created an opportunity for his own revenge.

And Ma Wenqing, a slanderous official, was also lured out by him, captured alive, and imprisoned in Zhao Prison for torture.

In the past six months, no one in the Southern Army has not respected and admired him, so they accepted his arrangement at this time.

"Okay! According to the original plan, when you retreat, our guns and artillery will block it with fire... Those who fall behind will not be able to come back!"

Wang Hongyu himself made a slightly complicated battle plan, and only in this way could he use 15,000 Southern troops to destroy the main force of Nurhaci's Eight Banners to the greatest extent possible.

The people who established the slaves relied on the highly organized Eight Banners Field Army, which had only 60,000 troops. If one more person was killed, their field strength would be weaker.

The plan was to cross the river first, imitating the history of the Confederate army being out of touch, and the two red flags would definitely seize the opportunity to make a surprise attack.

Of course, you can defeat the two red flags in one fell swoop at this time.

Then try to rescue as many people as possible from Shenyang, which is 7 miles away, and immediately retreat to the south bank of the Hun River.

Then the main force of the Eight Banners will inevitably pursue it, and the Zhejiang soldiers will conduct a fire blockade. The two armies will prepare for the next decisive battle along the Hun River...

The Southern Army has been stationed south of the Hun River for several months. It knows the terrain well and has practiced crossing the river many times.

In the time it took to burn an incense stick, the white pole soldiers and the Sichuan army's spearmen had already crossed the river.

With another stick of incense, the remaining Sichuan soldiers and Youyang native soldiers also crossed the river.

The pikemen who had crossed the river earlier were arranged in six dense rows. Everyone was wearing iron armor and an iron helmet. Their arms, chest, waist and abdomen, and head were all covered with a layer of polished and angled iron plates. Strengthened anti-sword effect.

"Throw the spear!"

Wang Hongyu stood at the forefront and shouted orders.

The pikemen threw their white-stemmed spears, which were up to 6 meters long in modern times, on the ground and temporarily took out secondary weapons such as waist knives.

Hidden ultimate move, when viewed from a distance, it seems to be densely packed and not ready for battle at all.

After Daishan and Huang Taiji ambushed He Shixian, they pursued him to the edge of the city.

In order to deceive the city gate, they gave up halfway and asked He Shixian to run to the west of the city, hoping that when he entered the city, the traitors would cause trouble and attack with Zhenglan Banner Mang Gurtai to capture the west of Shenyang City.

Daishan's two red flags took a short rest and then went around 5 miles south of Shenyang City to keep an eye on the reinforcements on the south bank and prevent them from rescuing Shenyang.

"Report! Big Belle! The Ming army is crossing the river!"

"How many people are there? Which one is it?"

"About several thousand people were crossing the river halfway, but they didn't have time to see the flag clearly."

"Well...this is a good opportunity to attack halfway! Where is my son Shuotuo?"

A brave general with a red flag wanted to answer, but turned his head and ignored Daishan.

"Huh!? Is the traitor timid? Is the traitor colluding with the Ming army? Does the traitor really want to die?"

Daishan's eldest son Yue Tuo and second son Shuo Tuo were both born to his ex-wife. Not only does he favor his second wife, he is also having an affair with Fu Chagundai and Abahai, and he has no regard for his ex-wife's two sons.

like.

The two sons were of high status, and they were liked by Nurhachi. After moving the capital from Hetunala to Sarhu, the house was bigger than his, so he became jealous, abused his sons and even accused Shuotuoluo.

In the end, Nurhaci took action and separated Daishan and his two sons, which temporarily eased the situation.

Daishan also completely angered Nurhaci because of his abuse of his son and repeated affairs, and he lost the chance of inheritance.

Now, Shuotuo felt that Daishan wanted to send him to death, so he refused to give him a good look.

Daishan was furious and disobeyed orders on the battlefield, and Nurhachi was not here. He wanted to execute Shuotuo directly to warn everyone in the two red flags.

The eldest son, Yue Tuo, has a very good relationship with Huang Taiji. He has been given guidance before and has already prepared ways to deal with it.

He winked at the red flag.

An old general with scars on his face came out and said: "I, Yabahai, have been fighting for decades, and I am willing to take the lead in attacking the Ming army."

This Yabahai is special. He wants to call Nurhaci "uncle", and he is of the same generation as Daishan.

He is the second-class La Ezhen of the Zhenghong Banner, with the rank of leading general, and is firmly among the top three in the Zhenghong Banner.

As soon as he stood up, Daishan couldn't refuse, but he had so many evil thoughts in his heart: "Brother Yabahai, you still need brave generals to cooperate, especially those who are good at cavalry. My son Shuotuo can join you!"

Shuotuo still ignored him, but Yabahai said: "Jiala Ezhen with the red flag, Buha, the general, and I are brothers by fate. The two of us can attack together."

Jia Laerzhen and Buha, the generals of Xianghong Banner, were among the top three generals in Xianghong Banner. Like Yabahai, he was determined to protect Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo, so he did his best to request an attack at this time.

There are also alternatives Jia La E Zhen, third-class guerrilla Lang Ge, and Bayan, both of whom are eager to perform meritorious service and hope to kill the Ming army and be promoted to official Jia La E Zhen.

The above four generals are willing to attack together. While the Ming army's rear group is still crossing the river, they can directly lead the cavalry to drive them down.

A total of 3,000 cavalrymen came out from each of the red flags and the red flags. While the Ming army was still crossing the river, they rushed over like the wind.

In their eyes, the Ming army was so densely packed that they hadn't even had time to form a queue yet. Most of the weapons in their hands were short-range soldiers. Most of the new troops coming ashore behind them were armed with crossbows or swords and shields.
