Jinzhou City.
Zhao Shujiao and the others stood on the city wall, looking at the wolf smoke rising in the direction of the Daling River, with solemn expressions.
Behind him stood the eunuch Ji Yong, the deputy general You Shiwei, and Zu Dashou.
Ji Yong's status was ran, he said with a gloomy face, "General Zhao, the thief chieftain attacked suddenly, the cannon replenished from Ning Yuan has not yet arrived, we must find a way to delay time, the imperial court has a strict order, and the Hongyi cannon must not fall into the hands of Jiannu!"
” Youtun, the big and small Linghe forts have been emptied, and the surrounding hundreds of miles are also fortified and clear, and people and horses gather in Jinzhou.
You Shiwei also said: "My lord, what Gonggong Ji said is, not to mention the loss of cannons, if you attack the city with cannons, it is definitely not a trivial matter!"
” Zu Dashou was a little fat, expressionless and did not speak.
Zhao Shujiao is a brave and resourceful person, not pedantic, groaned, and said, "Father-in-law, we sent someone to build a slave account to negotiate peace and delay time, what do you think?"
” Ji Yong frowned, the Ming Dynasty has always been the main battle, if he sues for peace with Jiannu in humiliation, he is afraid that he will be torn apart by the imperial court.
But thinking of the cannon and the importance of Jinzhou, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but the news must not be leaked, if you let the court know, you and I will not be a pity!"
” Zhao Shujiao took a deep breath and said, "Ben will understand, Zu Dashou, you go to choose a garrison, a thousand generals, and go out of the city to build a slave camp." ” Zu Dashou clenched his fists and said, "The last general will take the order!"
” The news of the Jin soldiers' advance attack on the city soon spread throughout Liaodong, and there was a rumor, and the nerves that were already tense became more and more nervous.
Sun Chengzong, who rushed back to Shanhaiguan from Ningyuan, had to turn back to Ningyuan.
Similarly, Cao Wenzhao of Songshan also had to continue to stay, and Houjin was menacing, and no one dared to be careless.
Zhu Xu in Shanhaiguan looked solemn.
Huang Taiji is different from his father Nurhachi, who is extremely flexible, and his strategy in Liaodong has always been flexible, especially good at encircling points to send reinforcements.
Zhu Xu stood up violently, and said in a deep voice, "Cao Huachun, pass on the decree, you can go to Ningyuan!"
” I can't wait any longer, I can't go to Jinzhou, at least to Ningyuan.
Xiong Tingbi and the others knew the news and came to stop them, but Zhu Xu didn't wait for them to speak, and said, "Needless to say, Cao Bianjiao, immediately lead the troops and go to Ningyuan." ” Xiong Tingbi and others saw that they really couldn't stop it, so they could only write a letter to Sun Chengzong quickly, hoping that Sun Chengzong could have a way to persuade the emperor to return to Shanhaiguan.
Inside the carriage, swaying, Zhu Xu sat on the soft collapse, and there was still a faint pain between his two strands.
In addition to Cao Bianjiao's 4,000 people, Yang Lin also led 3,000 people to escort him.
Zhu Xu held the map in his hand, still looking at it carefully, with a calm expression.
The situation in Liaodong is very bad, aside from the big and small Linghe Forts, Youtun, Jinzhou is the brunt, followed by Songshan, Xingshan, Daxing Fort, but once Jinzhou is surrounded, other places can only be waiting, unable to rescue, otherwise it will be eaten by the cavalry of Houjin one by one.
Historically, Huang Taiji's encirclement and reinforcement were used to the extreme, and he once ate the elite of Daming Liaodong in one go!
This time, Houjin's 150,000 army was enough to completely surround the four cities in front, and then wait for reinforcements from Ning Yuan and even Shanhaiguan.
"What the hell should I do?"
Zhu Xu's brows twisted in pain, and he muttered to himself.
Liaodong is vast, the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and the infantry of the Ming Dynasty cannot go out of the city to fight in the field at all, and blind defense is not always the way.
Cao Huachun sat opposite Zhu Xu, he didn't know the actual situation in Liaodong, and always felt that Zhu Xu's worry was too great, so he ran over in person, bowed slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, there are Sun Ge Lao, Lord Xiong, Cao Dudu and others here, you can rest assured." ” Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "You don't understand, if Jinzhou is still there, the Ming Dynasty will occupy the strategic initiative, and it can be attacked and retreated."
Once Houjin hit Shanhaiguan, Daming had no power to attack, but could only defend.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty was sharply sluggish, and the Houjin Dynasty was sharply inflated, and the consequences were ......
It's going to be scary!
” It's so scary that Houjin will swallow Da Ming!
Cao Huachun didn't understand soldiers or strategy, and when he saw Zhu Xu say this, he had no way to persuade him, so he said: "Your Majesty, do you want to find Miss Li to change the emperor's medicine?"
” Zhu Xu thought of the scene where Li Xie Yu changed the dressing, his cheeks were hot, and he said, "Let's not talk about this first, are all the things I asked you to prepare?"
” Cao Huachun said, "Back to the emperor, everything is ready, the slave maid has already sent someone to hand it over to Lord Xiong." ” Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Speed up, get to Ningyuan as soon as possible, Huang Taiji has been fighting psychological warfare for so long, and he won't give us another chance and time." ” Cao Huachun agreed, opened the curtain and delivered the message.
In Shanhaiguan, Xiong Tingbi and Wu Xiang and other Shanhaiguan generals surrounded a big wooden basket.
In the basket stood a man with a cylinder in his hand.
Two or three little eunuchs were busy on the side of the basket, iron hooks hanging around the basket, and a strange large cloak slowly propped up.
Wu Xiang looked puzzled, looked at Xiong Tingbi and said, "My lord, what is this?"
” Xiong Tingbi was also puzzled, and said: "This is left by Gonggong Cao, let's take a look first." ” Wu Xiang nodded, and had to look patiently.
When everything was ready, one of the eunuchs shouted at the top of his voice, "Ignite the fire." ” The torch burned, the cloak flew, and the basket on the ground staggered into the air, slowly floating.
Wu Xiang was stunned, and suddenly said, "My lord, is this Kong Ming lantern?"
” Xiong Tingbi also stared at the big basket that was already above his head, getting taller and taller, and said, "Wait and see." ” Not long after, the wooden basket was already half a meter high, still rising, and several eunuchs below fixed the rope and slowly controlled the height of the big basket.
It took hundreds of meters for several eunuchs to lock the rope and fix the large basket on three sides.

At this time, a eunuch took out two cylinders and handed them to Xiong Tingbi and Wu Xiang, and said with a respectful smile: "The two generals took a few steps back and used this to look at in front of them." ” Xiong Tingbi and Wu Xiang were inexplicable, looked at the little eunuch and looked at each other a few times, took a few steps back, held the cylinder in front of them, and looked at the big basket on top.
Looking at it slowly, the faces of the two changed.
I saw that in the small cylinder, the figure in the basket looked carefully and delicately.
The eunuch inside also looked at the north with a cylinder, and after a while he put down the cylinder and waved his flag below.
Xiong Tingbi and Wu Xiang have been in the military for a long time, and they can understand the flag at a glance: The emperor has just arrived in Qiantun!
Qiantun is dozens of miles away from Shanhaiguan, and even if it is a cavalry attack, it will take half an hour!
The two put down the cylinder, their hearts were shocked, Wu Xiang groped, looked at Xiong Tingbi and said: "My lord, this is much better than the watchtower, we can see the Jiannu cavalry dozens of miles away, completely anticipating the enemy!"
” Xiong Tingbi was also very excited, looked at the eunuch and said, "Father-in-law, is there anything else about this?"
Can it be used elsewhere?
” The eunuch smiled and said, "Lord Xiong is too worried, this matter has been arranged by the emperor." ” Xiong Tingbi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "That's that, the lower official said a lot." ”
