444 The Confession

Oboi is not stupid. The Dongjiang Army is not on the ship, which means that the Dongjiang Army must have seen through the ambush here. And it is coming with great fanfare, so it must be doing something!

At this time, although he didn't know where something went wrong, he also knew that he could never wait any longer.

So, while he rushed to Shengjing for eight hundred miles, he asked someone to report the news, and sent a probe to investigate the situation within a radius of hundreds of miles. He even sent further and went along the Yalu River to find the main force of the Dongjiang Army.

So, where is the main force of the Dongjiang Army?

Dai Shan knew the most about this issue.

Just the day after he sent out three thousand cavalrymen, while he was still basking in the sun, his men almost rolled into the yard where he was in, and reported to him with a pale face: "Your Highness, it's not good. Many Ming ships emerged from the seaside. The Dongjiang Army is getting ashore, and the vanguard is coming to Jinzhou!"

"What?" Dai Shan heard this and Yi Gulu climbed up from the recliner. He was so agile that he could not tell that he was a fifty-nine-year-old. However, his face was ugly, and he stared at the subordinate and asked, "How many people?"

"At least five thousand, but they are all infantry!"

At this moment, Dai Shan understood and immediately sent an order to enter the whole city to prepare for combat. Before the Ming army arrived, he immediately sent a fast horse to recover the sent cavalry. At the same time, he also went to the nearby city for help.

After giving these instructions, he kicked the maid away at his feet and roared, "I'm the armor!"

Not long after, Daishan, wearing armor, had already climbed to the top of the city.

Sure enough, he could hear the Ming army shouting outside the city that the night was not stopped; and, on the east side of Jinzhou, a Ming army was rushing towards Jinzhou City in the distance. From the flag, it was undoubtedly the Dongjiang army. The big flag of the word "Lu" fluttering in the wind is a good proof.

"Transfer the tiger away from the mountain, I have been tricked to lure the tiger away from the mountain!" Dai Shan couldn't help but murmur to himself when he saw this.

At this time, he couldn't tell whether Lu Xiangsheng found out that the situation was wrong and took the plan, or whether Geng Zhongming really surrendered to the Ming army to practice such a scene. But these were not important anymore. What was important was that Jinzhou City must be defended and must wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

However, the elite troops have been sent out, and with the remaining 3,000 troops, it is quite difficult to defend Jinzhou City.

The idea in Jinzhou has always been to block the Liaodong Peninsula and prevent the Ming army from invading the Liaodong hinterland from land. At the same time, it can also serve as a bridgehead for attacking Lushun after the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, although Jinzhou has prepared the equipment to defend the city, it is not so complete. After all, for the Qing Dynasty, there is no way to defend the city, and it is mainly attacking.

In the city of Jinzhou, the sound of gongs kept ringing, and the Jianlu soldiers were all waiting on the top of the city. Dai Shan had fought a war for a lifetime. Although he was worried, he was not panicked. He immediately issued military orders to command the Jianlu Jinzhou to prepare for defending the city.

This invading Dongjiang army was indeed led by Lu Xiangsheng, with a force of about 5,000. After surrounding Jinzhou City, it began to prepare to attack the city.

The Dongjiang Army began to assemble siege equipment within the sight of Jianlu on the city. Ladder trucks, towers, arrow towers, etc. were slowly forming. Of course, artillery is also indispensable, and there are many red barbarian cannons.

All this made Jianlu on the city despair. If the cavalry did not leave, there would be no need to talk nonsense and could even go out of the city to actively attack the Dongjiang Army. However, the current force could not be fought!

While Jianlu was highly vigilant, the Ming army quickly prepared to attack the city. However, at most it was sporadic tentative attacks and did not attack with all its strength.

Even so, the Jianlu on the city wall dare not relax their vigilance. If they relax and the Ming army turns temptation into strong attack, there will be problems.

After dark, the Ming army did not stop and often shouted to kill, as if they were attacking the city at night, causing a lot of noise, which made the Jianlu on the city not careless at all.

Dai Shan used his toes to think about it and knew that Lu Xiangsheng was bullying the young defenders in the city. If the few rotated, he would use the strategy of exhausting the enemy and wait until the Qing soldiers were exhausted before attacking the city. Or the defenders on the city relaxed, and they might suddenly change from a virtual attack to a strong attack.

Although Dai Shan knew this, he was indeed insufficient in his hands and had no choice but to hold on. Of course, there were also remedial measures. He mobilized the people in the city to defend the city together, otherwise after the city was broken, the Ming army would definitely avenge their people and massacre the entire city.

At the same time, Dai Shan also encouraged the whole city, saying that he had sent people to ask for help, and the previous cavalry could return quickly. As long as he persisted and turned around and attacked inside and outside, he could break the Dongjiang Army!

It can be said that intimidation, pie, etc., all the means that can be used are used.

Jinzhou, which had been comfortable for a long time, finally entered a very tense state of war.

In the north of Jinzhou is Xiaoheishan, with two post roads, from the left and right sides of Xiaoheishan, that is, near the two coastlines of the Liaodong Peninsula. The post road to the west passes through Shihe Post to Xinjin; the one to the east leads to the seaside in the east, goes up to Hongzui Fort, Guifu Fort and Yalu River.

These two post roads are forked about twenty miles north of Jinzhou.

At noon on the third day when Jinzhou was surrounded by the Dongjiang Army, a group of Jianlu provoked horses, about thirty cavalry, rushed past. They were the outposts of Jianlu cavalry.

At this fork in the road, I heard the sound of cannons coming from the direction of Jinzhou, which made the group of Jianlu provocations even more urgent and continued to gallop towards Jinzhou.

Not long after, more than 30 more than thirty cavalry and Jianlu rushed over. They were also whistle cavalry, just like the ones in front. When they heard the movements in Jinzhou, they all looked at the movements along the way and rushed to Jinzhou.

After a while, some of these whistle riders returned and rushed wildly. They went back and forth, but they didn't pay any attention to the people on the mountain.

About half an hour later, the sound of thunderous horse hooves came. A cavalry rushed from the post road on the left. Needless to say, it was the cavalry sent out by Daishan.

Before, this cavalry army had never rested in order to chase Li Dingguo's troops. Unexpectedly, before they could catch up, they were caught up by the messenger sent by Daishan, so they hurried back again. It can be said that this cavalry army had not had a good rest in these days.

Perhaps knowing the fatigue of his subordinates, the leader of Jianlu ordered a stop and rest on the three forks of the road, and encouraged his subordinates: "The Dongjiang Army has only 5,000 people, and they are all infantry soldiers. They actually took the courage of Xiongxin and leopard to attack Jinzhou. We returned to the army and attacked the Dongjiang Army inside and outside Jinzhou City. The great contribution is right in front of us!"

That's it, but he was actually worried.

Chen Shaozong, who had been on the road with him before, took the news by urinating. At that time, he felt something was wrong. Now it seems that there are conspiracies in the front and back. Since that is the case, would the Dongjiang Army be so stupid, and would it give the Qing Dynasty a chance to attack inside and outside?

He had a very question about this.

However, he would not say this worry, otherwise it would definitely affect the morale of the army.

At this time, he was exhausted. He didn't feel anything when he was working hard. He stopped and rested and felt very tired. However, it was not enough to stay. He was about to arrive in Jinzhou City soon, and there was a fight there waiting!

While he was thinking, suddenly, he noticed something seemed to be moving on the mountain, so he turned to look.

When he saw this, he suddenly jumped up with a frightened face and shouted loudly: "There is an ambush!"

At the same time, Jianlu of Jinzhou City was very motivated and shouted wildly: "Reinforcements are here, reinforcements are coming back..."

Dai Shan, who was older, was a little bit unsatisfied by the Ming army's strategy of exhausting the enemy. Dai Shan, who was resting in the arrow tower for a while, was immediately overjoyed when he heard this and quickly walked to the window to look.

Sure enough, in the distance, dozens of Qing Explosive Horses appeared, surrounding Jinzhou City, playing hide-and-seek with the Ming army at night, just telling the city: They are back.

"Okay, okay, okay!" After seeing this, Dai Shan couldn't help but praise him. Since the cavalry could come back, there would be more military forces than the Ming army outside the city, and the cavalry was coming back, the elite of the Jinzhou army. Now, it was Lu Xiangsheng's turn outside the city to panic?

Lu Xiangsheng didn't know what happened, but he actually dared to attack Jinzhou. Haha, Huang Taiji tried his best to make plans and wanted to annihilate your Dongjiang Army but failed. Unexpectedly, he lay in Jinzhou, and the contribution of destroying the Dongjiang Army fell from the sky and fell into his own hands!

Dai Shan thought about this and went maliciously to see where the character "Lu" is in charge. Now, Lu Xiangsheng is probably going to run away?

Unexpectedly, no matter how he observed it, the Ming army outside the city was not panicked at all. It was still surrounded by the city, and there was no sign of escaping, which made Dai Shan a little panicked.

Obviously, the Ming army outside the city must have some support and is not afraid of the cavalry returning to the rescue. But... how is this possible?

Of course he knew how many troops the Dongjiang Army had in Jinzhou. After a little estimate, he could also estimate that almost all the troops of the Dongjiang Army had come over, so what else could he rely on?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked north, thinking in his mind that the Ming army would have discovered that it was just these probing horses. The main force did not come back, right?

Dai Shan was at the top of Jinzhou City, of course he couldn't see what he wanted to see. However, he suddenly seemed to hear something, with the sound of bombardment and the sound of killing, which came faintly.

The sound of cannons was still very dense, and it was not a single cannon. From the sound, it was all about the Red Cannon and the Franc machine cannon.

Hearing this, Dai Shan suddenly remembered the Battle of Tashan. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty led his Imperial Guard suddenly appeared, and then killed Dorgon and wiped out his entire army.

When he thought of this, he was so scared that his body shook and could not stand firm. At this time, he was basically sure that the reason why the Dongjiang Army outside the city was not panic was because the Ming Dynasty had increased its troops. Maybe the Ming emperors came in person.

But this is the Liaodong Peninsula. How did the Emperor of Ming come from? Aren’t he afraid of the boundless sea? Aren’t he afraid that he would be knocked into the sea without going to Liaodong?

The sea was a terrifying existence for Jianlu, and they were very afraid of it. However, for Emperor Chongzhen, the sea was also what he wanted to conquer, so what should we be afraid of! The concepts of both sides were completely different!

It was thanks to his personal guards who helped him in time. However, Daishan's heart had fallen and he was desperate: Jinzhou only had 3,000 troops. Even if the people in the city were mobilized to defend the city together, they could only barely deal with the Dongjiang army outside the city. Once the Ming emperor led his Imperial Guards outside the city, the morale of the defenders in the city would definitely collapse.

Listening to the cheers of the defenders on the city, he was very sure in his heart. After a while, he would be very scared. I hope that the disappointment in the future will make them even more disappointed!

Dai Shan knew that if Jinzhou wanted to change hands, he would also take Dorgon's fate! Thinking of this, Dai Shan seemed to have grown a lot aged a lot, and he was also desperate!

On the top of the city, other Jianlu also heard the sound of cannons and shouts from the north one after another. Slowly, they also reacted. The reinforcements they were looking forward to were fighting there. From the dense sound of cannons, we can know that it must be that the Ming army had so many artillery, and the Ming army was ambushing over there and fighting with their reinforcements!

Most of the Jianlu in Jinzhou did not know the details of the Battle of Tashan, so they did not think much about it. They looked north one by one, praying in their hearts, hoping that their reinforcements would win, appear like heavenly soldiers, killing the Ming army outside the city without leaving any armor!

However, many of them, looking at the calmness of the Ming army outside the city, knew that there was a lot of danger there, otherwise, even if the Ming army outside the city did not escape, they would shrink their defense. However, most Jianlu still wishfully hope that their reinforcements could win.

Not long after, the sound of cannons gradually became smaller and finally there was no sound. It must be that the war over there was over.

The Ming army outside the city did not attack the city, and the Jianlu on the top of the city had no intention of looking at the Ming army outside the city. They all looked north and were waiting to see that direction. Will the army on that side appear?

This kind of waiting is torment, especially for many experienced soldiers on the city wall, they are even more tormented if they can guess the result.

In the arrow tower, Dai Shan even thought of seeking death, but his personal guards did not allow him to stare at him and refused to let him seek death. The personal guards were also trying to persuade Dai Shan with a lucky mentality.

I don’t know how long it took, but there was finally movement in the north. The shadows were shattered, and an army was coming.

Needless to see clearly, the Ming army outside the city cheered in unison, while the Jianlu on the top of the city felt like he was lost. Because there was a long red dragon from afar, needless to say, it must be the Ming army!
