Chen Qiyu said: "We will deliver this.
Please tell Commander Lu that we will jointly launch a general attack at 12 noon three days later and strive to cripple the white flag in the south.
Now let's set the time right and see you in three days."
After the two set the time, Xue Boling retreated into the fort, while Chen Qiyu slowly retreated with his troops and set up camp seven miles away.
Du Du was overjoyed.
In any case, this section of the defense line was still in his hands.
He was even a little grateful to the Ming army.
He did not think carefully about why they took the initiative to retreat.
He just asked people to report to Nurhachi that they had repelled the Ming army. attack, but in order to prevent the next Ming army attack, some reinforcements must be sent over.
Nurhachi had no way to mobilize reinforcements because there were only so many people.
If they were transferred to Dudu, other places would become a breakthrough point for the Ming army.
He understood that his plan to besiege Xin'an Castle would probably end in vain.
He is a decisive person.
Since he can't be surrounded anymore, he should give up.
So after half a month of siege, the Houjin soldiers in the south, east-south and west-south of Xin'an Fort withdrew.
Chen Qiyu was a little frustrated.
He originally planned to take advantage of the rear Jin soldiers to disperse and besiege the city, and to deal with some of the rear Jin soldiers inside and outside.
Unexpectedly, the rear Jin soldiers shrank, and this plan failed.
He transported the ammunition required by the First Division into Xin'an Fort, first ensuring that Xin'an Fort could deal with the Jiannu attack.
Then discuss follow-up matters with Lu Qin and others.
After hearing the request of the imperial edict, Lu Qin said: "The Holy One has always thought that it would be best if we could use money to solve the problem of the slaves, because we are much richer than the slaves, so we will use money to kill the slaves, starting tomorrow. , moved the artillery out of the city and bombarded Jiannu, and the infantry stood ready beside him.
After two days of fighting like this, Jiannu probably couldn't stand it. " Chen Qiyu nodded and said: "Yes, the imperial edict requires that soldier casualties be minimized.
We have the advantage in weapons, so let's trade ammunition for human lives."
Although fighting like this is boring, it can reduce soldiers' losses and is still loved by most officers and soldiers.
Meritorious service is indeed important, but one's own life is also important.
From the next day, the Ming army started a boring war mode, guarding the soldiers every day and bombarding the Jin soldiers with artillery.
It is a boring mode for the Ming army, but it is different for the Houjin army.
The Ming army didn't rush up to hit you at all, they just threw artillery shells from a distance, smashing the tent, flagpole, and more importantly, your head, etc., but it was really fatal.
Hou Jin could only scold the Ming army for being shameless, but there were a large number of gunmen waiting next to the shameless artillery.
They did not dare to charge, so they had to retreat.
When the Ming army saw you retreating, they advanced step by step until they reached the high wall.
The Ming army demolished the high wall that Hou Jin finally built, filled up the deep ditch, and began to set up camp here.
It's not that the Hou Jin Army didn't want to attack at night, but they were frightened by the power of the mines last time.
In the end, they could only watch the Ming Army set up their positions and endure the Ming Army's shameless bombardment pattern.
At this time, Mang Gurtai arrived at Yunyang Castle, but Mao Wenlong had already retreated, which made Mang Gurtai very unhappy.
However, his unhappiness did not last long, because the scouts sent news that although Mao Wenlong stopped attacking Yunyang, he did not stay away and was camping on a hillside more than ten miles east of Yunyang.
Mang Gurtai was overjoyed.
He had dealt with Mao Wenlong before, and his biggest characteristic was that he could run, very well.
Being able to run not only means that he will not fight head-on with Hou Jin's army, but also means that he can always find the best time to escape, so that Hou Jin's army can't find him even if they want to find him.
Now he dares to camp near Yunyang City, is he confident?
He is not a member of the Guards, so what can he rely on?
Mang Gurtai ordered his more than 3,000 armored soldiers, plus Yu Ding and the Han army, a total of about 8,000 people, to attack the hillside where Mao Wenlong was stationed.
But Mao Wenlong changed his previous escape style this time.
Not only did he not escape, but he also deployed all his troops on both sides of a mountain path two miles in front of the hillside.
Mang Gurtai was careless and only sent troops yesterday.

The scouts searched the mountainous area on the roadside, but did not search again today.
However, Mao Wenlong moved his troops last night.
As a result, the Jin soldiers were ambushed by the Ming army.
Mang Gurtai cursed himself in his heart, but he had no choice but to order the armored soldiers to attack the mountains on both sides.
Unexpectedly, Mao Wenlong led the most elite troops in Dongjiang this time, most of them equipped with flintlock guns.
Moreover, the mountain wall is difficult to climb, and the Ming army could easily prevent the later Jin army from climbing with stones.
Since the mountain can't be charged up, the Hou Jin soldiers will have to be suppressed and beaten.
Mang Gurtai had no choice but to order the Hou Jin soldiers to stop fighting back and quickly pass through the Ming army's ambush area.
Unexpectedly, the army in front fell into a horse trap just after they rushed through.
They were in a hurry again, and after losing dozens of horses, they came to the hillside, only to find that it was just a camping ground.
Mang Gurtai was so angry that he had a preconceived idea that Mao Wenlong would run away with a fight or even without a fight.
However, Mao Wenlong killed hundreds of people with an extremely simple ambush.
He ordered the army to turn around and go.
They followed Mao Wenlong's retreat, only to find that Mao Wenlong had already left.
Mang Gurtai, who was continuously hit, returned to the outside of Yunyang Fort, only to find that the fort was already filled with Ming army flags.
It turned out that Mao Wenlong himself attacked Mang Gurtai's ambush, while his subordinate Mao Yongshi led people to attack Yunyang Fort.
Yunyang Fort had just sent out troops.
How could the people in the fort think that the target of the attack would come to rob the city?
At that moment, Mao Yongshi robbed the castle.
After Mao Wenlong defeated the ambush, he immediately came to Yunyang Fort.
He quickly killed all the Houjin soldiers in Yunyang Fort, and then took control of Yunyang Fort.
Mang Gurtai glanced at the Ming army flag on the castle, but there was nothing he could do.
The Hou Jin Army was not good at siege, and they had no siege equipment, so they had no way to deal with Mao Wenlong.
What's more troublesome is that he sent troops to fight Mao Wenlong and didn't bring any supplies needed to set up camp.
Therefore, it was impossible to build siege equipment after setting up camp.
He had to order the army to turn to Jiumaji Fort, thirty miles away, to replenish supplies.
Come back later.
At this time, a smart subordinate said: "Master Beile, Jiumaji Fort is too far away, why don't we occupy Mao Wenlong's camp."
Mang Gurtai thought, yes, even though Mao Wenlong robbed Yunyang Fort, the camp ten miles away is still there.
Isn't it the same as stationing there first and then building siege equipment?
So he ordered to stay in Mao Wenlong's camp.
Later, the Jin soldiers returned to the hillside, only to see flags fluttering outside Mao Wenlong's camp, and the camp was full of hay, with no tents or anything.
How could they possibly set up camp?
