Gao Huan made a decision. After many civil and military ministers discussed for a few words, Du Yinxi said: "I agree with Your Majesty's resolution."

He paused and continued, "There are six reasons for me! First, Nanguan has fallen, Jin Shenghuan, Xie Qian and other generals retreated to Lushun. The situation is critical. Your Majesty must rescue him. Second, in order to destroy the Qing Dynasty, our dynasty mobilized countless soldiers, horses, money and food, and the arrows were already on the string, and they could not change the string. Third, Moxi Mongolian invaded Guanzhong, whether our dynasty withdraws troops or divides a large army to rescue Guanzhong, they were all trapped by the Qing Dynasty. Fourth, today is different from the past. In the past, the Mongols shot unparalleled in the volley, which is indeed a huge threat to the Central Plains. But now our dynasty is sharp. The Qing Dynasty has an army with heavy cavalry and light cavalry, so I will not be afraid of the light cavalry in Moxi Mongolian."

Yuan Shizhong said: "Yes, with the equipment of the Mongolians, in the wild, our infantry has the advantage of muskets, and the range is far stronger than that of the Mongolian cavalry. The Mongols' cavalry has no place to be brave. When we defend the city, our army has various artillery, and the Mongolian cavalry will be bombarded if they get close to them. Since I guarded the northern border, Mongolians in the south of the desert have gone south, and they have never been punished by me. Therefore, I also believe that it would be enough to let the Qin army deal with Mongolian in the west of the desert."

Gao Huan heard their words and couldn't help but say, "I feel even more confident after listening to the words of my two beloved ministers."

The civil and military officials of the court were also relieved.

After speaking, Gao Huan stood up and said, "Record the military orders! Let Wang Yongqiang, Li Chengdong and He Zhen set up the Qin army in three places, and do not have to go out of seclusion. Return to Guanzhong immediately to reinforce Sun Chuanting. Then order the army to continue to advance and arrive at the city of Jinzhou within three days."

After the military order was issued, the cavalry rushed out of Ningyuan and headed south.

Not long after, the Qin army, who had just arrived in Shanhaiguan, received military orders and immediately turned around. More than 90,000 people turned into rear teams and headed towards Guanzhong.

Three days later, Gao Huan arrived at the city of Jinzhou and met with Xu Heihu and Hao Yaoqi who arrived first, and saw the Jinzhou City built by the Qing army.

Although Gao Huan was not worried about the attack on the Moxi Mongolians into Guanzhong, and felt that Sun Chuanting and the Qin army could deal with it, after all, 300,000 enemy troops entered the hinterland of Guanzhong. Gao Huan still hoped to destroy the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible, destroy the 300,000 Mongols in Guanzhong, or drive them out first.

Gao Huan's experience in learning from a great man is Gao Huan's experience in despising his opponent strategically and attaching importance to his opponent tactically.

Therefore, Gao Huan arrived at the city of Jinzhou and immediately put on a neat dress and took a group of generals to peek at the city defense of Jinzhou.

Gao Huan ran to a hill two miles away from Jinzhou, tied the horse's reins, looked out at Jinzhou City, and found that the city was built on a high ground. The city was not big, but the city wall that stretched out like a finger told everyone that it was not simple.

A long time ago, Gao Huan collected the situation of the Qing army building a bastion in Jinzhou. The Military Information Department also drew a lot of drawings, but Gao Huan did not hurry to observe it with his own eyes.

This fortress is a bit like the picture he once saw in the book, Fort Lady of Our Lady in Portugal.

The four corners of the city wall are protruding, and between the two protruding, a small triangular fort was also built, that is, Jinzhou City is composed of a main fort and four small forts.

These four small forts are lower than the main fort, so even if they fall, the main fort can shoot and kill the Gan army occupying the small fort from a high place.

Outside the fort group, there is a trench surrounding the fortress, and a low wall. In short, the defense is extremely strong.

If it were in the age of cold weapons, such fortresses could hardly be captured from the outside.

Gao Huan observed for a while and felt a little annoyed. The Qing army must have not been able to build such a bastion. It must have been helped by Portugal and Spanish, or the group of missionaries who stayed in Beijing at the time.

Since Gao Huan took over Nanjing, the Gan Army has changed from strategic defense to strategic offensive, but speaking of this, Gan Chao has not fought a large-scale siege.

The most intense siege was the attack on Luoyang and Wuchang, which forced Sun Kewang to surrender.

The big cities such as Beijing, Jinan, Chang'an and Taiyuan either fled without fighting or were besieged by the dry army, and were destroyed after being exhausted from ammunition and food.

This is naturally because Gao Huan felt that the siege battle suffered heavy losses, and the attacking heart is the best and the siege is the best, so as to avoid attacking as much as possible. However, Jinzhou and Daling Fort currently must be defeated.

At this time, Gao Huan raised his whip and said loudly: "Mongols in Moxi attack Chang'an, Qing army attacked Lushun, I attacked Jinzhou and Dalinghe, who would break first?"

After observing for a while, Gao Huan then returned to the camp.

Outside Jinzhou City, Ganjun camp was 80 miles away, with endless tents, flags flying, covering the sky and the sun, and people and horses neighing, endlessly.

The Qing army on Jinzhou City had never seen such a large army since the expedition. The soldiers of all races were extremely frightened and anxious.

In the big tent, Gao Huan took off his helmet and placed it on the table, and a group of generals entered one after another.

Gao Huan sat in the handsome position and asked directly: "Xu Heihu, you go to Jinzhou first and talk about the situation of the Qing Dynasty!"

Xu Heihu was about to take his seat, so he quickly stood up and walked to the map, "Report to Your Majesty! According to my investigation, the Qing army was in Jinzhou and Daling River each had 10,000 elite troops, all led by the royal family, while Haoge led the 350,000 troops stationed at the rear of Daling City and Jinzhou, and stood at Guangning and Pingxi Fortress."

After listening to the narrative, Gao Huan sneered: "Everyone must have seen Haoge's strategy! He relied on the solidity of Jinzhou and Dalinghe City, and also guarded the important roads, intending to persevere in consuming our army. When our army is exhausted, he will counterattack."

Du Yinxi stroked his beard, "Your Majesty! Because of this, the battle in Jinzhou cannot be consumed for a long time, so it must be decided quickly. The city thought that if it could be captured, it would attack. If it could not be captured, it would have to find another method! After all, I have more than 400,000 troops, and the pressure on supply of food and supplies is very high!"

Gao Huan nodded slightly and suddenly cursed: "Haoge's strategy must be developed by Hong Chengchou, who has fought a tight battle with Huang Taiji and knows how to deal with me!"

When everyone heard the words, they scolded Hong Chengchou, while Gao Huan did not change his domineering spirit. He glanced at everyone and asked loudly, "Everyone, do you have confidence in taking Jinzhou?"

The generals in the tent stood up one after another and held their fists together, "Your Majesty, I am willing to take the lead in attacking the city and climb Jinzhou first!"

...

While Gao Huan was discussing military affairs, Haoge also discussed military information with a group of Qing army generals in Pingxi Fort's Qing army camp.

Pingxi Fort is also called Pingxi Platform. It is located east of Jinzhou, west of Liaohe River, and southeast of Guangning. It is a highland.

The Qing army was stationed here, so naturally chose to defend and attack here to prevent the army from taking risks to leap over Jinzhou and directly attacking Haoge's main force.

At this time, the atmosphere was heavy in the big tent, with dense arrows and various flags marked on the map.

"Scholar Hong told the Mongolians in the West of the Mo River to attack Guanzhong, and Gao Huan was forced to let the Qin soldiers return to the rescue. Although he only mobilized more than 100,000 troops this time, the Qing Dynasty undoubtedly got the first move! Now Gao Huan has arrived in Jinzhou, what do you think should be dealt with next?" Haoge asked in a deep voice.

Wu Sangui said: "Prince, since he has formulated a strategy, he will follow the strategy of Master Hong. He consumed the army in front of Jinzhou and Dalinghe City, and sent cavalry on the flanks to detour the Mongolian raiding the food route of the army. After a long time, the army was tired at the city and the food was unsustainable, so it was the time for us to counterattack."

Haoge nodded after hearing the words, "Okay! Then let the Korqin tribe attack Gao Huan's food route, and I will wait for the situation to change!"
