Seeing the Northern Expedition Army under the city stopping, Shang Kexi punched the wall with a punch and stood up hatefully.

This was one of his few opportunities. He mobilized the morale of the three armies and hid in the city of Ningyuan. If the enemy underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, they could be beaten up.

However, the place where Liu Heiqi stopped marching was too far away from them. If he attacked rashly, he would have lost the effect of the surprise attack.

After stopping, Liu Heiqi soon discovered that something was wrong in front of him. How could Ningyuan City be so quiet?

The city gate was closed and it was not like leaving the city and fleeing. Logically speaking, there should be Qing soldiers guarding the city at the top of the city. Thinking of this, Liu Heiqi's forehead rubbed his sweat a little. If the military order had not come in time, their vanguard army might have penetrated into the ambush.

"Be careful, there is a Qing dog in front of me, and retreat a little further." Liu Heiqi shouted at the top of his throat, and the Northern Expedition Army formed a formation and slowly retreated.

Shang Kexi, who was on the city wall in the distance, saw the Ming army retreating and knew that it must have been exposed. Then he ordered that there was no need to ambush under the low wall. The Qing army's flag stood at the top of the city and was full of soldiers and generals.

Soon, Hou Xuanyan's army arrived, and Ningyuan City was once again surrounded by numerous encirclements.

This time, unlike Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan is a city, not a gate. It cannot stop the journey of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Hou Xuanyan was familiar with the task of siegeing the city on the road, and his generals took their own orders. If they do too much, they will do it casually, just like working. Sometimes, commanding troops and horses to fight, which seems to be treacherous, but in fact they have rules to follow.

There are only a few taboos in military strategists. If you fight too many wars, you will naturally be clear and clear. Otherwise, just by reading military tactics, you will talk about military affairs on paper. Unless you are a military genius and a natural general, you may suffer a lot.

Hou Xuanyan rode a black horse. The horse was tangled and toned, but his steps were very steady. He was pitch black and swiped lightly. He looked like a BMW. The maroon war horse that accompanied him to fight south and north was covered with wounds. Hou Xuanyan was placed in the backyard for retirement. This was a BMW sent by Jingbei.

When Liu Heiqi saw Hou Xuanyan coming, he stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "The prince's magic tricks, I, Old Liu, are convinced. Shang Kexi's old turtle is indeed ambushing the city. If the prince hadn't reminded him, we brothers would have fallen into his hands."

Hou Xuanyan nodded, pulled the reins and lowered his head and said, "War is not a joke. Since you have become a pioneer general, you can survive by your brothers. Look at things more and think about it. It doesn't matter if you die because of a sudden arrogance. Think about what your brothers' wives are. Wouldn't it be more uncomfortable than death at that time?"

Liu Heiqi felt as if he was hit hard in his heart. He lowered his head and thought about the terrifying situation. It was not even more uncomfortable than death. He was convinced, knelt on one knee, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I understand, thank you for your guidance."

"Well, go and execute the military order. This time we will guard Ningyuan and stop letting Shang Kexi run away." Hou Xuanyan grabbed the horse's belly and slowly moved forward. After a while, Ningyuan City could see it.

Standing at Gaogang and looking down, several military towns outside Liaodong Pass were stronger and more majestic than the other. At that time, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan and others exhausted the financial resources of the treasury, and there was indeed something in the defense line built.

But how could a great country always think about building walls to resist the invasion of foreign races? Now, unlike in the past, the development of the times has reduced the cost of expanding territory and greatly increased the benefits. The developed transportation has also increased the areas that the court can control. If Hou Xuanyan wants to completely solve the border problems, it would be better to let the Arctic Ocean be a natural Great Wall.

Seeing that he was surrounded in the city again, the Qing soldiers were depressed one by one. If they could wipe out the enemy vanguard just now, it would be a great encouragement to their morale. But Shang Kexi also knew that no matter what he said, the morale of the soldiers who had been surrounded for three months would not be sluggish when they were surrounded here.

He could only hope that Wu Sangui would come to save him in this matter. Shang Kexi was still very confident about this. It was not that he trusted Wu Sangui's character. But he knew that Wu Sangui was not a fool. If he didn't come to save him, he would be himself who would face such a situation in the future.

Now the Four Liberation of Liaodong are grasshoppers on a rope, and they cannot avoid it. Even learning how Mao Wenlong occupied the Pi Island is not feasible, because I personally know that the Ming army's navy is more capable than the army.

They could only resist to the death. The Ming army outside the pass was incompatible with them, and they had no chance to surrender.

A gust of cold wind blew into Shang Kexi's neck, and he stretched out his hand and tightened his cloak. In the years he entered the pass, he had become accustomed to the weather inside the pass, and it was not very adaptable to returning to Liaodong. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. From outside the pass to the Central Plains flower world, he can naturally integrate into it quickly, but the sense of gap after withdrawing is not so easy to smooth out.

Under the dizzying sky, the sky was gray and dark, and the clouds were covered with smoke and dust. The sound of the rumbling iron hooves of the Ming army were everywhere.

After Shang Kexi arranged the garrison task, he returned to Ningyuan City and forced himself to come to the backyard of the yamen office.

Several personal soldiers had already cleaned up the place as Shang Kexi's temporary residence. After seeing him coming, they bowed and shouted "Prince."

Shang Kexi waved his hand, withdrew everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Send the order, I want to study military information, no one is allowed to get close to you."

The personal soldiers retreated one after another. When they heard the footsteps outside getting farther and farther away, Shang Kexi's shoulders collapsed and he collapsed on the head of the bed.

Even a man was exhausted physically and mentally, but he could not let his subordinates see his appearance.

As long as you show a little bit of defeated, the soldiers under your command, who are already very fragile, will suffer a heavy blow.

Shang Kexi lay on the bed, feeling the softness and warmth of the bedding greedily, forcing herself to not let herself sleep to death.

He could only take a little rest. Every day afterwards was a life-and-death juncture. He didn't know when Wu Sangui would come, but he knew that Hou Xuanyan would attack immediately. That person would never give the enemy time to breathe, and this time it would not be an exception.

With a bang, Shang Kexi, who had just lying down, was so scared that she suddenly started to bounce from the bed, and the tiles on the roof were shaking.

The shelling has begun

The dense sound of cannons came, and light shone from time to time in the dim sky outside the window.

A sense of despair surged in my heart, and Shang Kexi was on the verge of collapse. Even such a person had a bottom line to bear.
