Chapter 315: Xiong Tingbi wins first hand

Nurhaci ran to the court tent, and the banner leaders of the Later Jin Dynasty, Beile quickly convened his subordinates to hold a small meeting, calling out Bu Jia, Ma Qi and the soldiers who were still sleeping soundly.

For a moment, people from the Later Jin camp shouted and neighed, and frequently mobilized them.

Man Gui, who was patrolling on the city wall, saw it and was immediately surprised, thinking that the Later Jin army was going to attack while the rainy night.

The open flames in Chenyang City gradually lit up, but the generals discovered that the Later Jin army was mobilized on a large scale, and ordered their subordinates to prepare for the rolling of wood and rocks, and went to the city to reorganize their arms to prepare for war.

"General, is it because Taiwan and Taiwan have made a mistake in their estimates? Nurhaci just wants to attack Chenyang?"

The general looked at the movements in the Later Jin camp, his eyes full of worry and fear.

Mangui shook his head.

"I can't guess this either."

Turning around, he said again:

"I just hope that Taiwan and Taiwan are right. Chenyang's city defense is not as good as before. It can't stop Jiannu for a long time. The reinforcements were all transferred to Fuyu Guard by the court. Once they go, I'm afraid Liaoyang can't hold on."

The two stood on the city wall and looked at the camp of the Later Jin army for a while, but found that the other party had fewer whistle cavalry from the city of Chenyang, and most of the fire was running towards Liaoyang.

"Can the slave chief give up Chenyang and rush to Liaoyang?"

The general's head was full of question marks and said in disbelief: "Aren't he afraid that our army will go out of the city to attack him?"

This thought appeared in Mangui's mind and he was worried.

Indeed, with the current strength of the 30,000 defenders in Chenyang, if they rashly leave the city, they will only be made into dumplings by Jiannu.

But if Nurhaci really attacked Liaoyang and did not go out, once the heavy land of Liaoyang was lost, Chenyang would become an isolated city outside the pass, and 30,000 defenders would be trapped in the lonely city sooner or later.

Just as he was thinking, a personal soldier ran over the city and sent a secret letter from afar:

"Report to the general, Liaodong governor urgently."

"Take it quickly and see it!"

In Chenyang City, he was completely disgusted with the entire battle situation. It was the time to advance, retreat, encircle and annihilate. If he did not come to order, he would not know what to do next.

A war of such a scale must not lead to a slight tragedy in your own link.

"Man Gui saw the letter and met: He ordered his troops to guard Chenyang to the death and would not form a formation with the slave without authorization. If this governor had not stated the order, he would be guarded to wait for help.

——Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong."

After burning the letter, Mangui's eyes gradually showed a firm look, and he said:

"The order is that the cities in Chenyang are closed to the city gates and will not be able to defend themselves. Those who go out of the city without authorization will violate military laws and will not be punished!"

"Abide by the order!"

The Ming army was waiting for the battle to attack the city, waiting for the Later Jin Dynasty to attack.

However, the Later Jin camp gradually calmed down, and even the number of whistle cavalry returned to its original state, most of which came down towards Chenyang City.

Despite this, the Ming army still did not dare to be careless and continued to be strict and defend against the Later Jin attacks while the rainy night.

Nurhaci originally thought that this was a sudden attack with the cooperation between Man Gui and Xiong Tingbi, and the internal and external cooperation, coupled with the storm for several consecutive days, which made him very nervous.

Who would have thought that it would cause a false alarm?

Xiong Tingbi Chu received the order from the Ministry of War and learned that Cui Chengxiu had given him all the command in this battle. He was happy and decided to test the Later Jin army outside Chenyang City to see what was going on there.

He sent a small team of cavalry outside Chenyang City. It happened to be that time Mangui was patrolling the city, and it happened to be the bad weather for several days.

No wonder Nurhaci would think so.

This team of Ming cavalry from Liaoyang originally received Xiong Tingbi's order to test the enemy's situation, but anyone else thought that something would happen.

The guerrilla general Wang Anrong, who led his troops, was really afraid of the Later Jin cavalry. After he led his troops out of Liaoyang, he wandered in the wilderness for a long time, but he didn't dare to approach Chenyang.

Wang Anrong arranged the speech and thought of spending tonight, so he went back to Xiong Tingbi to report.

Although this cavalry is small in scale, Nurhaci broadcasts the whistle cavalry in the direction of Liaoyang, and was discovered by the whistle cavalry not long after.

The Later Jin squad cavalry did not dare to move lightly, and quietly reported the position of Wang Anrong's subordinates to Nurhaci.

When Nurhaci heard this, he remembered his previous speculation, and this led to the mass mobilization of troops from the Later Jin army camp that Man Gui saw.

The cavalry of the Later Jin suddenly came out, causing even more timid Wang Anrong to escape from death. He fled back to Liaoyang overnight and reported to Xiong Tingbi, saying that the cavalry of the Later Jin appeared on a large scale in the areas between Baitapu and Fengji Fort.

Xiong Tingbi initially had the same idea as Man Gui, thinking that he had guessed it was wrong.

After careful consideration, Xiong Tingbi decided to ask someone to investigate again before replying to Zhu Youxiao in Nanjing. After all, this kind of news is very long and the impact is irreversible.

Xiong Tingbi ordered Liaoyang to go and investigate the movements of the local Later Jin army. This time he sent only one person to disguise himself as he did so to avoid alarming the enemy.

Unexpectedly, the official who was a branch guard at the road, had just walked to the Chang'an Fort River and had not seen the shadow of the Later Jin cavalry, he ran back crying and said that he would not go any further.

At this moment, Xiong Tingbi understood that this division of guarding the Tao might be afraid of the Later Jin cavalry, so it would be useless to continue asking him.

There was no way, so Xiong Tingbi had to take off the armor he gave him without regard to the storm and rain. He walked all over the way from Liaoyang to Fengji Fort.

Surprisingly, Xiong Tingbi did not see half of the Later Jin cavalry.

The situation was like this. After Nurhaci found out that he was nervous, he reduced the whistle cavalry in the Liaoyang direction by 80%, and ordered Beile, the banner leader of the Later Jin Dynasty, to go back to sleep.

The officials from the road guarding came back and forth. When Xiong Tingbi arrived at Fengji Fort, the Later Jin cavalry had already retreated completely, and even a single horsehair was left.

It’s not in vain to come here!

Xiong Tingbi took this opportunity to walk around Shenyang, and on the way back to Liaoyang, he rushed to Changning and Changding Second Fortresses overnight, and visited the local garrison Ming generals and the situation of the garrison.

Before leaving, they were reminded again to wait for their orders and not to act frivolously.

Along the way, Xiong Tingbi observed the terrain of various places. He heard that it was not as good as seeing the reality. At this moment, he even concluded that Nurhaci would never advance in the direction of Liaoyang easily.

The focus of the Later Jin Dynasty's troops must be on Fuyu Wei this time. His initial judgment was correct.

When returning to Liaoyang, the first thing Xiong Tingbi did was to let the personal army of the Superbiao camp go to capture the guerrilla general Wang Anrong who was afraid of death.

His wrong information almost made Xiong Tingbi feel that he had made a mistake in his previous judgment, and he wrote half of the memorandum of apology from Zhu Youxiao.

If this is sent out, it will be amazing.

Three days later, in front of more than 300,000 soldiers and civilians inside and outside Liaoyang, Xiong Tingbi waved Shangfang's sword and personally beheaded Wang Anrong for sacrifice.

After Wang Anrong's death, under the leadership of Xiong Tingbi, the Ming army of Liaoyang was even more strict in military discipline and high in fighting spirit. Even the people were angry and shouted that they would kill all Jiannu and avenge their shame.

Due to personal trial, I learned the exact terrain.

Xiong Tingbi promoted the tent and made a military proposal, and set up layers of defense in the areas from Shenyang to Liaoyang. The whistle cavalry went out everywhere, and the guards of Liaoyang were as solid as a rock.

Later, when Nurhaci heard the news, he regretted it and said that he had missed an excellent opportunity to capture Xiong Tingbi and take over the entire Liaochen territory.

However, the fighter's opportunity was fleeting, and now he could only wait for the current situation and wait for good news from Fuyuwei.

This is the first time that Nurhaci and Xiong Tingbi, the old enemy, confronted each other in this battle.

During this confrontation, the Ming army and the Later Jin army were frequently mobilized, but the two sides did not lose one soldier and one soldier, so the winner was decided.

Obviously, Nurhaci lost to Xiong Tingbi once again after one move.
