Outside the city of Jinzhou, the Chinese army camp was built. Dorgon and Yagyu Jubei were in a very good mood. For no other reason than that, all the layouts were completed as scheduled.
Jianlu's 5,000 cavalry troops were sent out first, driving the Ming army back to Ningyuan at night, blocking the road section from Jinzhou to Ningyuan Zhongzuo Suo; then, the Japanese army began to ambush in this section, and Chumu rushed
The Japanese troops were all ambushed in places such as the Fort, Daheung Fort, Xingshan Fort, Guangning Zhongtun Station, Nuerhe River and other places.
In order to make the Ming army fall into a tight siege, and to make the Ming army believe it, the Japanese army even deployed 50,000 troops at Ningyuan Zhongzuo Station, just to let the Ming army know that this was an army to prevent the Ming army from rescuing Jinzhou.
If he did not expose any of his troops and did not stop the Ming army, he was afraid that the Ming army would become suspicious. Therefore, Yagyu Jubei sent a miscellaneous army. This miscellaneous army was a pieced together army that was lost in the naval battle.
The disastrous Shimazu Mitsuhisa commanded only defeat, not victory. After attracting the Ming army and defeating his army, Jinzhou could be safely rescued.
At this time, looking at the newly marked layout on the map, Dorgon suddenly said to Yagyu Jubei: "We must win this battle, but there is still no consideration here!"
"Where?" Yagyu Jubei was happy when he suddenly heard this and asked quickly.
This battle must be won for the Qing Dynasty, and similarly for the Korean Japanese army, it must be won. Therefore, there can be no sloppiness.
I saw Dorgon pointing at the map and replied to Yagyu Jubei: "Look here, and here. This is the outlet of Xiaoling River, where the water of the Daughter River gathers. At this time, boats can be sailed; and here.
, is the outlet of the Daling River, and can also be used for sailing; and the Ming Dynasty's navy is powerful, maybe they will use boats to carry rescue troops through these two rivers to reinforce Jinzhou!"
If this is done, it will be possible to bypass the Japanese ambush on land, which is equivalent to rescuing Jinzhou to the east and south of Jinzhou.
Upon hearing this, Yagyu Jubei immediately nodded solemnly and said: "His Royal Highness the Regent is indeed careful. Yes, the Ming Dynasty has ships, so he will definitely do this."
Having said this, he immediately smiled again and said: "Our Japanese army is so powerful that I will immediately send troops to intercept these two places. If Ming warships dare to enter these two rivers, they will definitely be sunk."
!”
"Okay, I will also deploy a few general cannons here and take cover by the river!" Dorgon nodded after hearing this.
The Japanese army had few artillery pieces, and even more so when they went on an expedition to Liaodong. Their so-called iron cannons were actually just matchlock guns.
On the contrary, Jianlu had captured many artillery pieces and robbed many Ming craftsmen when they fought against the Ming Dynasty. When Kong Youde defected, he also brought craftsmen and artillery with him. Therefore, Jianlu
There are quite a few artillery pieces.
There are Hongyi cannons, but they are small in number and have to be used to attack the Hongyi cannons at the top of Jinzhou City. However, the second-class general cannons are used to deploy on the river bank to bombard possible Ming warships.
It's completely enough, after all, the Daling River and Xiaoling River are not very wide.
After a while of busy work, the gap was filled.
Dorgon and Yagyu Jubei looked at the map again and found no flaws, so they all laughed together, obviously in a very good mood.
However, in Dorgon's heart, he was not so optimistic.
Because he knew very well that the Ming Dynasty was now so powerful that it was very dangerous to force the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese country to fight against the odds.
If nothing else, it just means that if the army fails to come to the rescue and the situation continues to be like this, without the Ming army coming to the rescue again, the Qing and Japanese coalition forces will collapse due to exhaustion of food and grass!
How much food and grass there is per kilogram is a secret in the army, and only he himself knows it best. Otherwise, once word spreads, the morale of the army may be shaken.
I hope everything goes well! Dorgon is optimistic on the surface, but he is praying in his heart.
However, the general situation of the Qing Dynasty could not be hidden from Hong Chengchou. No, when Dorgon returned to the back tent to rest, Hong Chengchou who followed him said to him cautiously: "Master, I thought that Ning Yuancheng
Over there, maybe we should bluff and let the Ming army think that we are scaring them so that they dare not rescue, but in fact, we don’t have enough troops and we are afraid of the Ming army’s rescue!”
Upon hearing this, Dorgon was immediately overjoyed and immediately agreed: "Yes, what Hong Qing said is absolutely true, but how can we use bluff?"
After hearing this, Hong Chengchou quickly told him his thoughts, and Dorgon kept nodding, obviously quite satisfied.
Afterwards, Dorgon immediately invited Yagyu Jubei to go over Hong Chengchou's plan. This made Yagyu Jubei yell at him for a long time, and he followed the plan.
……………
On the Ningyuan City side, Jianlu's scouts and Japanese scouts poked their heads into the ground from time to time to check the movements of the Ming army in Ningyuan City.
However, the general Zhou Yuji did not move at all. He just closed the city gate tightly and did not go out to fight. Even when the Japanese were robbing grain in the fields, they did not go out to fight.
On the second day, Japanese troops suddenly appeared in large numbers. They lined up on the east side of Ningyuan City, blocking the way. They were densely packed and coming in a steady stream. Looking at this posture, it seemed like they were coming.
Like many people.
However, if you look carefully, you will find that the Japanese army seems to have come in many people and made a lot of noise, but in fact the troops that appeared were very sparse.
At night, under the dim moonlight, we could vaguely detect some movement at the Japanese camp.
Then during the day of the next day, many Japanese troops continued to arrive, and the camp further expanded and became densely packed. There were at least 50,000 to 60,000 Japanese soldiers, and the number was still increasing.
During this process, the Japanese vanguard commander Shimazu Mitsuhisa hid under the shade of a tree and watched the movements at the top of Ningyuan City from a distance.
As long as the Ming army was not stupid, they should be able to see this kind of bluffing, right?
At a glance, you can tell that this is an increase in troops during the day, a withdrawal at night, and then a new army appears. In order to make it easier for the Ming army on top of Ningyuan City to notice this, I put those soldiers with very distinctive looks.
Let them go back and forth!
At least the Ming generals at the top of Ningyuan City don’t have telescopes for laundry? They should be able to see clearly!
Shimazu Mitsuhisa thought this, but he was not particularly anxious. Because he still had one trick he knew how to use, so that the Ming army could easily detect the truth of his bluff.
After waiting until the afternoon, suddenly, Jianlu Tanma and Japanese army scouts who had been sent out rushed back one after another, reporting that reinforcements were coming from the direction of Shanhaiguan, numbering at least 50,000.
When Shimazu Mitsuji heard this, he was very happy.
Today's coalition forces are most afraid that the Ming army will not rescue them!
As long as more Ming troops come to the rescue, the more Ming troops will be eliminated, and the harder they will be able to hit the Ming Dynasty, thus achieving this strategic goal!
Fifty thousand horses, plus the 20,000 in Ningyuan City, although the number is still a little less, it can be done.
With this in mind, he immediately reported the news to the back while continuing to bluff.
Sure enough, not long after, the Ming army's Ye Bushou began to appear, then the vanguard, then the Chinese army and so on, arrived one after another.
However, they did not attack, but were stationed under Ningyuan City. Apparently they had just arrived at the front line and needed to communicate with the Ming army in Ningyuan City.
Seeing this scene, Shimazu Mitsuhisa felt like he saw a big piece of fat, waiting for them to be fooled so that he could be eaten by the coalition forces in one bite!
However, what Shimazu Mitsuhisa didn't expect was that he originally thought that the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty would only be 50,000 troops. But who would have expected that after the arrival of the 50,000 troops, about an hour later, and towards evening, a group of troops came from Shanhaiguan.
In the direction, reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty appeared again!
"円西,円西!" Shimazu Mitsuru became even more excited after seeing him for a long time. The more Ming troops who came to help, the better. Anyway, the Japanese army alone had 300,000 people, and he had laid out his pockets waiting for the Ming troops to take advantage of them.
.It’s best to just fight and wipe out all the mobile Ming troops outside the pass!
By nightfall, the arriving Ming reinforcements were estimated to be about 80,000 troops;
Shimazu Mitsuhisa thought about it for a while and then implemented the next plan.
Under the moonlight, another deliberately concealed movement was transmitted to the Ming army. Not to mention, he also deliberately burned a camp, pretending that there was a fire in the camp, and ended up burning the scarecrow in the camp.
Under the firelight, you can see it from a distance.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa, who was hiding in the dark, looked at the Ming army's camp and the movement on top of Ningyuan City, thinking to himself, now, the situation should be clear, right? You Mingguo, you should think that our country is a big country.
Idiot, you were so careless and exposed the fact that our military strength is actually far less than that. I can't scare you anymore, right?
Haha, the fools of the Ming Kingdom who think the Japanese are fools, let’s see if you will attack tomorrow!
As long as you dare to attack, I will eat you in one bite!
As he wished, these actions of his were of course seen by Zhou Yuji, who had a telescope. Not only did he see clearly the bluff of the Japanese army, but he even knew the conspiracy behind the bluff!
But these things don't matter anymore. The imperial court has been preparing for this battle for a long time. The third and fourth batch of reinforcements will continue to arrive, and they can just crush them with their strength.
By the early morning of the next day, the Japanese troops were coming over again in a steady stream. Just looking at the camp, it was densely packed with more than 100,000 troops.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa deliberately waited until dawn to cover up the half-burned scarecrows, lest the Ming army would be too stupid to discover this bluff and be frightened and dare not rescue, which would cause big trouble.
While he was thinking about it, suddenly, another scout came to report that the Ming Dynasty navy had been spotted on the coastline. A long fleet of at least tens of thousands of troops was heading north by sea.
"It's good to come!" Shimazu Mitsuji was overjoyed when he heard this, because he knew that there were ambushes ambushing the two rivers at the mouth of the sea, and he had long expected that the Ming army might rescue them from the waterway.
