410 Are you crazy?

"Where is the powerful Ming army you said?" Azig looked at Turg who came back to report to him, and couldn't help but asked, "Where is it?"

Turge felt a little dazed after hearing this.

The Ming army is still the same Ming army, it still has the same smell, no, the same feeling. When encountering the Qing army, they will run away!

This cannot be fake. Not only the city and the land are lost, but the population and materials are also abandoned! If it is a false defeat, it is basically impossible!

If it wasn't for that wise general being so shameless and forcing his men to resist desperately, he was able to escape. Otherwise, even that wise general would have been captured!

But, the battle of Jizhou!

To be honest, when he thought of last year's Battle of Jizhou, he still had fear in his bones. The Ming army's pursuit made them, who were used to winning battles, like frightened birds. At the slightest sign of trouble, they quickly continued.

Escape!

If Abate had not used the banner of being a coach to attract the Ming army to chase him, Turge and others might not have escaped with their lives!

Thinking of this, Turge replied a little sarcastically: "It is probably because there is too much chaos in the pass, and the strong army of the Ming Dynasty hasn't arrived yet!"

"Haha!" When Azige heard this, he immediately sneered, "How much time has passed, that so-called strong army you mentioned, no matter how far away from Shanhaiguan, should have been transferred back by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, right?

?But, what about people?”

"..." Turge was speechless upon hearing this.

Judging by time, it is indeed as Azig said, the powerful army of the Ming Dynasty should also appear, right?

However, now that the Ming army has lost its city and territory outside the pass, Ningyuan will soon be the only city left. There is no need to fight, and if we send troops to stop it for half a year, Ningyuan City will be able to defeat itself without an attack if its food supply is exhausted!

Could it be that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty didn't care about any of this?

This is impossible!

When he first attacked Jinzhou, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty mobilized all the powerful troops from across the country and rushed to Shanhaiguan to support him!

While he was wondering, Azig said there again: "You can't say that the bandits in the pass are also strong armies, so the strong army of the Ming Dynasty court and the strong army of the bandits are in a stalemate, or simply, they are defeated by the bandits in the pass.

The strong army of thieves has been destroyed, right? Otherwise, where is your so-called strong army?"

Of course, he didn't know at this time that Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to eliminate the bandits immediately, but wanted to use the bandits to reorganize the place.

Of course Turg didn't know either. Hearing Azig's words, he was speechless again.

In Azig's eyes, he finally understood. The so-called strong army of the Ming Dynasty, that is, in the Jizhou battle, Turge and others exaggerated the strength of the Ming army because they were completely defeated.

Excuse themselves!

Of course, if it can defeat Abate's army, the Ming army will at least not be as weak as these Ming armies outside the Pass! However, strength is limited!

With this in mind, he had already spoken to Turg, and ordered him in a cold voice: "Go and bring all the bright dogs from the Zhongqian Station to the front guard, and in addition, send troops to garrison the Zhongqian Station!"

Although Azig still looked down on the Ming army, after all, after fighting for so many years, basic things would not fall behind.

Zhongqian Station was captured intact, so he sent people to garrison it, which could serve as an early warning for the army. Even if Shanhaiguan sent troops, they would have to attack Zhongqian Station first.

Since the central and former positions were captured without a single blow, he also wanted to capture the former garrison without a single blow. Because if he bombarded the former garrison, he would have to repair it after it was damaged.

At this time, he already regarded the former garrison as his treasure!

Turg accepted the order and led his men away again.

On the former garrison side, all the Jianlu soldiers were resting and recuperating, and they were surrounding the former garrison but not attacking.

Not only Azig, but also his subordinate Jianlu were the same, because the Ming army they encountered was still the Ming army in their impressions, which made their previously tense nerves relax. Just like they had before

Just like outside Zonghengguan, everyone rested at will, in order to show the power of the Qing Dynasty, humiliate the Ming army in the city, and destroy the morale of the Ming army.

……………………

Let’s talk about Ningyuan City. Time goes back to yesterday evening. Under the howling north wind, the defenders on the top of the city were huddled in the corners and their morale was low.

"Do you think the imperial court will come for reinforcements?" A soldier couldn't help but ask his comrades beside him.

"Will he come? Didn't the imperial court win the Battle of Jizhou?"

"But why haven't you come yet after so long? Look, the Jianlu outside the city are still so arrogant and don't take us seriously."

"Yes, this time, Jianlu must have passed through at least 20,000 iron cavalry. They didn't care about us at all and went to Shanhaiguan. They must be attacking Shanhaiguan, right? They also brought Hongyi cannons!"

"Shanhaiguan may be difficult to defeat, but those guard cities are in danger!"

"In this case, wouldn't our Ningyuan City be in danger?"

"..."

It can be heard from their whispers that they have no confidence at all and are afraid of their future.

This is not only true for ordinary soldiers, but also for Yuan Shangren, the commander-in-chief stationed in Ningyuan.

At this time, Ningyuan City's morale was low and it was no different than a dead city!

In fact, the situation of Ningyuan City has been decided since Jinzhou was captured by Jianlu.

It was also because of this that after the Battle of Songjin, Wu Sangui, who was originally the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan, thought of ways to be transferred away from Ningyuan City.

Amidst the howling of the cold wind, someone who didn't know who it was suddenly shouted in surprise: "Look, there are boats! There are boats, many boats!"

Hearing the shouts, the Ming army soldiers on top of the city quickly stood up and looked towards the sea.

Sure enough, we saw a long row of many boats, all kinds of boats, heading towards Ningyuan. The boat at the front had even docked on the shore, and soldiers of the Ming Army were already disembarking.

Upon seeing this, all the guards on the city suddenly became excited.

"Haha, reinforcements are coming. Come and see, reinforcements are coming!"

"There are quite a few people coming. Now Ning Yuan can be saved!"

"..."

Amidst this excitement, some smart people discovered something was wrong.

They asked in confusion: "Why did the reinforcements come by boat?"

"Could it be that you couldn't defeat the Jianlu cavalry, so you came over by boat?"

"That must be the case. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more convenient to advance directly by land?"

"Yeah, he came to Ningyuan to defend the city with us, right? Jianlu is still invincible in the field. After Jianlu blocks the seaside, we will still be alone!"

"That is, if we wait another two months, the sea will freeze over. There is no need to build a blockade of the seaside. The ship will not be able to come. What will happen to the supplies?"

"..."

As soon as these smart soldiers said this, the city that was bustling just now suddenly became quiet as if someone had poured cold water on it.

Almost all the soldiers have lost their joy, because they think that whatever the ending should be, it will be the same in the end!

Even when Commander-in-Chief Yuan Shangren heard about it, he was not interested and did not even go to the top of the city to see what was going on.

Soon, on the coastline, several Ming army soldiers trotted all the way towards Ningyuan City. After arriving at the city, they shouted loudly to the top of the city: "Marquis Zhongzhen is here to help. Where are your soldiers, come out and speak!"

Hearing that the White Guards Army was coming, the defenders on the city gained some morale. After all, the White Guards Army would fight to the death against Jianlu, and their reputation was there.

So, someone immediately went to report it to the commander-in-chief.

In the meantime, Qin Liangyu had also disembarked from the boat and quickly arrived at Ningyuan City. However, she frowned when she found that the gate of Ningyuan City was still closed.

After she arrived for a while, Yuan Shangren appeared at the top of the city.

The Ming Dynasty only had one female general who led troops, and she was old and outside the customs. Even if you didn't know Qin Liangyu, you would definitely know that she was Qin Liangyu, the loyal lord!

For Qin Liangyu, even Yuan Shangren still respects him. It is unique for a heroine to do what Qin Liangyu does without giving in to men!

"Come on, open the city gate quickly and let Marquis Zhongzhen enter the city!" Yuan Shangren shouted loudly as soon as he saw Qin Liangyu.

After hearing this, Qin Liangyu replied loudly: "I came to Ningyuan to intercept Jianlu under the order of the Governor. The soldiers of Ningyuan are also under my control. You immediately mobilize a thousand soldiers, bring shovels and other supplies, and go out of the city to assist!"

"..." Upon hearing her words, everyone was immediately dumbfounded.

They thought they had heard wrongly!

Let them go out of the city to assist? What do you mean? Defend the city without taking it?

Wasn't Marquis Zhongzhen right, intercepting Jianlu? He wouldn't go to the wilderness to intercept them, would he? Is this crazy?

After a while, Yuan Shangren came back to his senses and confirmed again in disbelief: "Go...to intercept...the Jianlu cavalry outside the city?"

There was another half sentence that he didn't say: Are you crazy?

Qin Liangyu frowned when he heard this, and immediately replied: "Time is urgent, don't delay, otherwise military law will be engaged!"

She understood that these imperial officers and soldiers were all frightened by Jianlu. Instead of explaining to them here, it was better to do it first and then talk about it.

Then, he immediately rode away to check the interception position selected in advance.

Some of the officers and soldiers of the Baigan Army who had already landed on the shore immediately set off in the direction where Qin Liangyu had passed, while others stayed on the shore to help the car camp push the sidecar to the shore.

The entire coastline was crowded with people, and it felt like a lively atmosphere. This made the defenders on the city stunned.

Seeing that the Baigan Army did not appear to have entered the city at all, Yuan Shangren did not dare to neglect. He quickly issued an order and ordered more than a thousand non-direct soldiers to leave the city quickly with shovels and other items. Listen to Baigan

Army command.

As for himself, he still hid in the city and even closed the city gate tightly, as if the people outside the city were not friendly troops but captives.
