"Ba...ba...ba...ba...ba...ba..."

A harsh whip sounded outside the tent. Three men with naked bodies were forcibly pressed to the ground by six extremely expressionless Goshha. Three strong men with naked upper bodies were waving the whip in their hands. Although the three men were whipped so hard that they still gritted their teeth and did not dare to say anything, because they all knew that the master behind them hated the most was the soft egg. If he could hear his moans, he would definitely be even more angry.

"Waste...a group of waste...the dignified camp actually allowed those dogs to get in. Not only did they kill two people, but they also captured three of us warriors. What are you doing for food?"

In the big tent, a middle-aged man wearing gorgeous blue and red armor, with a black scabbard hanging around his waist, and gems inlaid on the hilt of the knife, was roaring angry. This man is the second son of Shurhaci, the younger brother of Nurhaci, the Taizu of the Qing Dynasty of the Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty. He is also the lord of the Blue Banner of the Later Jin Dynasty. He is known as the four major beiles together with Daishan, Manguertai and Huang Taiji, commonly known as the Two Beiles, because of his great military achievements.

This time, Amin was ordered to lead most of the troops of the Inlaid Blue Banner and Dabeile Daishan to launch a tentative attack on Daling River Fort and Jinzhou. The Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, Nurhaci, was in charge of Shengjing. If the Ming army lost to Nurhaci, they would lead the army to rush over and tear the Jinning defense line built by Sun Chengzong as quickly as possible.

As the second Beile who is second only to Daishan, Amin is undoubtedly proud. This time he is responsible for leading the troops of the Inlaid Blue Flag headquarters to attack Daling Hebao, which is a sudden and concealed nature. But he never thought that he was taken to the camp by Yebu of the Ming Dynasty and was kidnapped by three people. This is no less than someone slapped him in the face of Amin, who has always been proud. If Daishan, Manguertai and Huang Taiji know, they still don’t know how to laugh at him. Therefore, when he learned the news the next morning, he caught the two Niu Luezhen and one Jiala Ezhen who were directly in charge of the matter without thinking and whipped twenty whips.

Don’t underestimate these twenty whips. The Jurchens used ponytails to whip people, and their hair was mixed with iron wire and dipped in salt water. Twenty whips were enough to beat some people with weak constitutions to death.

After a while, the sound of the whip stopped. Six Goshha dragged three people to the tent to report: "You have reported to the second Beile, the execution has been completed. Please give me advice!"

Amin had a typical Jurchen appearance, a big pie face, a slim nose, and a yellow teeth. Her bearded face made him look extremely fierce. He turned his head and looked at the three people who were dying and had almost no good meat on their bodies. He flashed in his eyes.

Although the three of them were almost unable to move, they still felt cold all over by Amin's gaze. They quickly rushed to get up and said, "I have seen my master."

Amin nodded slowly and whispered: "Do you know why I want to slap you?"

"I understand... the slave embarrassed my master!" Jiala Zhangjing, the leader, whispered.

"You know you are embarrassed, too." Amin's small eyes narrowed into a slit. "This time, Dahan asked me and Dabeile to march against Jinzhou and Daling River Fort respectively, in order to tear apart the Jinning defense line of the Ming army. Now Dahan is in charge of Shengjing. If something goes wrong here, you think about what consequences will be? The Three Beile and Four Beile are staring at us behind!"

As soon as Amin's words were not yin and yang, everyone's heads fell even lower. As slaves who had followed Amin for many years, they all knew that Amin, Mangurtai, Huang Taiji and others did not deal with it. Once Amin had any mistakes, these people would never miss this opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Not to mention anything else, at least they could ask Nurhaci to reduce the number of Niulu in the Blue Flag to reduce the spoils and other things. Who made Amin not Nurhaci's biological son?

Amin continued: "This time, the Ming army's night is not taken away, and they must have known our marching eyes that there is no need to keep this trip confidential, so I ordered the troops to move towards Dalinghe Fort immediately, and be sure to arrive at Dalinghe Fort tomorrow!"

"Yeah!" A neat shout sounded from the tent...

Just as Amin led a large army to whip towards Daling River Fort, Da Beile Daishan of the Later Jin Dynasty brought 10,000 troops from the headquarters of the Red Flag and twenty Niulu Mongolian troops, a total of more than 16,000 people, and they came to Jinzhou to set up a camp less than 30 miles away. The entire Ming army defense line also entered a state of tension due to Daishan's arrival.

In the lobby of the Supervisor's Office in Jinzhou City, dozens of generals gathered together. At the first seat of the lobby, a thin official in his sixties dressed in a vermilion python robe and a jade belt. Although the official had a thin face, his eyes were full of energy and showed a sense of majesty. Next to him were two chess and cards, one was written with the command of Liaodong, and the other was written with the words "Shishou Minister of War". There was a Shangfang sword hanging behind it. Everything here reminded everyone present. The old man sitting opposite had the power to kill everyone present, and this old man was Sun Chengzong, who was the then Liaodong governor.

"Everyone!"

Sun Chengzong first glanced at everyone with his majestic eyes, and then said lightly: "This morning, our spies have sent news. The thief chief Nurhaci sent his son Daishan and his nephew Amin soldiers to lead more than 28,000 soldiers to attack Jinzhou and Dalinghe Fort in two groups respectively. The thief chief Nurhaci was watching and waiting for the fighter's opportunity in Shenyang. I wonder what good strategies do you have for retreating?"

After the generals looked at each other, a general in heavy armor stood up and shouted: "Report to the commander, our army stationed tens of thousands of troops in Daling Hebao and Jinzhou. In addition, the city is solid, and the Tartars have only more than 20,000 people. How can we take down the city protected by our heavy troops? I think you don't have to worry about this."

Sun Chengzong glanced at the general. The spoken general was Zu Dashou, who was the guerrilla guerrilla in the central army at that time. Before Zu Dashou could speak, another elegant general stood up and said loudly: "Sun Master, even though he said that, the Tartars have always been cunning. We are not afraid of the Tartars coming to attack the city, but we are afraid that the Tartars would confront us on the surface, but they secretly sent troops to harass the Daxing Fort, Tashan, Songshan and other rear routes. If these places are lost, our rear route will be cut off."

This person who stood up was not someone else, but Yuan Chonghuan, a general who was praised and criticized by later generations. At this time, Yuan Chonghuan was appointed as the military chief by the court. During his tenure, he did a lot of practical things and was highly valued by Sun Chengzong. After he said these words, many generals nodded frequently.

Another general stood up and bowed, "Sun General, Master Yuan said very well. The last general thought that a capable person should be sent to Daxing Fort and the Tashan area to preside over military affairs in order to prevent the Tartars from attacking our army from being caught off guard." This general was either a famous brave general in the Liaodong army, Zhao Shujiao, who was the assistant general at the time, was the assistant general of the governor.

Sun Chengzong pondered for a moment before nodding: "What you said is reasonable. The Tartars are indeed cunning. In order to prevent the Tartar soldiers from attacking our retreat, they should indeed send a general to guard the Daxing Fort area. All the generals obey orders!"

"Crash!" All the generals stood up and shouted: "Please give orders!"

"Zu Dabing!"

"Don't be here!" Zu Dashou stood up and responded loudly.

"You lead three thousand troops from the headquarters to quickly rush to Daxing Fort to take over Daxing Fort and Tashan area defense. You must not let the Tatars cut off our army's retreat. If there is any mistake, you will ask!" After Sun Chengzong said that, he picked up a token on the case and threw it at Zu Dashou.

Zu Dashou took the token and bowed to Sun Chengzong, "Mr. General I received the order, please rest assured. If there is any loss in Daxing Fort, I will come to see you!" After that, Zu Dashou turned around and walked out of the lobby without looking back.

Sun Chengzong looked at Zu Dashou's figure and left the lobby, and said to the generals: "With Zu Dashou presided over the defense line in the Daxing Fort, our army's retreat is worry-free. However, Zhao Xian, the general of the Daling River Fort, was a little brave, so I was still a little worried. Let's do this, Element (Yuan Chonghuan) You have worked hard to go to Daling River Fort to preside over the overall situation. When the Tartars retreated, you will come back." After that, he grabbed another arrow and threw it at Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan stood up and grabbed the token and responded loudly, then left the lobby again.

Then Sun Chengzong said to the generals: "Everyone, Jiannu is coming in a fierce manner. Remember not to be careless. From today on, the city gates are closed tightly. No one is allowed to enter and exit the city without the order of my official. Do you understand?"

"I will follow the general!" A neat shout sounded in the lobby.

With the issuance of orders, the entire Jinzhou City and even the Jinning Defense Line entered a tense situation. The entire defense line of cities and castles were closed, and the people also entered the nearby cities with their families. Daishan, who arrived near Jinzhou, was not idle either. Although he did not attack the city immediately, he still sent a lot of people to rush along the gathering points of the Jinning Defense Line. Their purpose was very simple, that was, to kill or kidnap the people here and become their slaves. Just when the war was about to break out, Yang Feng also led his Jiangning Guard's garrison army to Liaodong.

Yang Feng rode on a maroon war horse. Looking at the scorching sun hanging above his head, he couldn't help but spit, "Grandma, this damn sun wants my life!"

Along the way, what Yang Feng did not expect was that Liaodong was so hot in August, which made him a little unexpected. After more than ten days of walking, the troops finally arrived in Liaodong. Although Yang Feng had already taken precautions, dozens of soldiers who were used to the southern climate still had heatstrokes one after another. Yang Feng had to order the heatstroke soldiers to be placed in the baggage camp for the nurses of the medical camp to take care of them.

Because she was afraid that such a situation would continue to lead to the army's non-combat reduction, Yang Feng secretly ran several times during the marching of the army. In addition to bringing back a large number of Huoxiang Zhengqi Shui, Rendan, Xia Sangju and other medicines to relieve the heat, she also took the opportunity to have a secret meeting with her sister Chang'e and Sister Xu, which had relieved the pain of lovesickness, especially Sister Chang'e. After tasting the forbidden fruit with Yang Feng, it was time to eat the marrow and taste. Every time she saw Yang Feng, she would be obsessed with it. Yang Feng fed her and then returned to the camp before dawn. The days passed in this painful and happy process, and the troops also arrived in Liaodong.

At this time, a war horse approached Yang Feng. The horseman pointed to a hill in the distance and said to him: "This hill in the distance is the famous Wangzi Peak. There is also a temple on the mountain. It is said that if there are children and women who have no children, they will always work."

Yang Feng turned his head and looked at the other party and smiled, "Mr. Xiong is very knowledgeable and even knows the origin of this inconspicuous mountain."

Xiong Tingbi smiled faintly and said, "When I was in Liaodong in the past, I visited most of Liaodong. This mountain has been here. Although this mountain is not good-looking, if it encounters war, it is an excellent military base. As long as I station troops here, I can control a place with a radius of hundreds of miles. How can I not pay attention to it?"

Looking into the distance, Yang Feng asked again: "Mr. Xiong, our army has found that the atmosphere along the way is quite tense and the cities are closed one after another. Could it be that there will be a war situation again?"

Xiong Tingbi shook his head and said, "I don't know. After all, our army was not always camping in the wilderness, nor did we encounter the Tartars' soldiers. However, according to my experience, it is most likely that the Tartars are going to make trouble again."

Yang Feng silently recalled, "In April this year, after Nurhaci moved the capital to Shenyang and changed the name to Shengjing, he was quite arrogant and sent troops to harass all over Liaodong. In September, Shanhaiguan General Ma Shilong believed in rumors, which led to the defeat of Liu He, which dragged down Sun Chengzong, allowing Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin Party members to find an excuse to dismiss Sun Chengzong, which led to the increasingly corrupt situation in Liaodong."

What made Yang Feng feel strange was that Xiong Tingbi's attitude towards Yang Feng improved a lot after waking up, and he no longer had the aggressive look he had at the beginning, which also made Yang Feng feel a little strange.

In fact, this is normal. As the contact deepened along the way, Xiong Tingbi was increasingly amazed at the strength shown by Yang Feng's Jiangning Army. Most of the army held firearms, and what shocked Xiong Tingbi the most was that Yang Feng actually had a powerful artillery unit. This artillery battalion had hundreds of artillery guns, and these artillery guns were very light. Although he had not seen the live ammunition shooting of this artillery battalion with his own eyes, Xiong Tingbi could imagine the scene of the earth shaking when hundreds of artillery guns were fired in a salvo.
