"How did Hangou transport the red cannons?"

Behind the Tartar cavalry array, Abatai was also surprised.

With a distance of more than three miles and nearly four miles, the shells could be shot. In his perception, only the red-clothed cannon could do it.

He directly gave up several small cities such as Muchengyi and Shicheng in order to avoid the attack of the Tiance Army's warships. He clearly had the power of the red-clothed cannon. He thought that setting the battlefield far away from the shore and destroying the port, the red-clothed cannon of the Tiance Army was useless.

As a result, these damn Han dogs didn't know what to use, but they transported the thousands of pound cannons ashore. The originally planned cavalry to disperse these Han dogs ashore in a wave of plans, and they could not continue to implement them.

In fact, if you forcefully rush to the formation, with the power of two thousand cavalry, you will have a certain chance of success. A distance of three or four miles, the cavalry's speed is very fast. The enemy's red-clothed cannon can fire at most four or five rounds, and will withstand the injury and death, and you will also have the opportunity to break through the enemy's defense line.

But now Abatai no longer has such courage and he dare not do such risky actions.

These two thousand cavalry can be said to have concentrated all the cavalry of Jinzhou Guards and Fuzhou Guards, and even some cavalry of Xuancheng and other Liaonan cities. If the rushing formation fails to succeed and all of them are lost here, then it will be difficult to stop the Tiance Army's military peak by simply relying on infantry. Once Jinzhou and Fuzhou are lost, Liaoyang and Shenyang will be threatened.

In addition to this level, there is also his personal level. Last year, the battle between Pidao and Tieshan, he lost a total of two Jiala, almost 30% of his troops. Later, he lost three Niulu during the attack on Jiuliancheng, and some other sporadic battle losses, leaving less than half of his strength.

Fortunately, Huang Taiji Nian made great contributions to his nearly thirty years of war, so he did not take away his blue-inlaid flag. He added four Niulu from the other flags and added some of the Niulu from the blue-inlaid flags, and finally recovered his strength.

Now, half of the inlaid blue flag were pulled by Huang Taiji to Jinzhou. He only had ten Niulu in his hands, and the rest were Han troops, Mongolian soldiers, Korean minion troops, etc.

If these two thousand cavalry were lost again, he would have only empty spaces inlaid with blue flags.

"Retreat!"

After quickly considering these issues, Abatai ordered the withdrawal of troops very decisively.

Two thousand cavalry turned their horses, one south and one north, and retreated east in two parts, half returned to Jinzhou Acropolis, and the other half went straight to Fuzhou Acropolis.

What they can do now is to use the Jinzhou Acropolis and Fuzhou Acropolis to resist step by step, delay time, wait for Huang Taiji to capture Jinzhou and send troops back to help.

As for taking the initiative to attack, it is completely a search for death. Abata has a deep understanding of the strength of the Tiance Army.

Although he did not participate in the battle at the fishing port last year, he also knew the situation. Less than 10,000 troops fled back. Yue Tuo died, Haoge was captured alive, and Saha escaped in a panic and saved his life. These three were the best among their nephews, but were all lost to the hands of the Tiance Army.

Moreover, he knew clearly that Tieshan, Pidao, Yizhou and others had several fierce battles with the Tiance Army. The Tiance Army's field capabilities were completely above the Guanning Army.

Seeing the Tatar cavalry retreating so decisively, Wu Kejin was still a little disappointed. If he could annihilate the large number of living forces of the Tatars in the field, his attack on Jinzhou City, Fuzhou City, Deliying City and other southwestern Liao cities would be much easier.

Since the Tartars retreated so decisively, it is better to follow the original plan and carry out the offensive plan step by step.

Jinzhou Acropolis is stuck at the key position from the Lushunkou to the hinterland of Liaodong. Since the Ming Dynasty took over Liaodong, it has become an important material and military transportation channel. The grain and supplies will be transported to Dengzhou, then shipped to Lushun, and then transported to Chenyang.

When the army was moving normally to a position five or six miles outside the Jinzhou Acropolis, even though it was still early, Wu Kejin ordered the entire army to stop advancing and set up camps. Kong Youde's task was to take down Jinzhou City Guard and Fuzhou Acropolis within one month. He was not in a hurry at all and everything was stable.

Looking at the Jinzhou Acropolis not far away, Wu Kejin couldn't help but sigh that he was finally back after more than a year.

Wu Kejin is now the commander of the Dongjiang Army, the 2nd Division of the 10th Army. The Dongjiang Army was basically adapted from the troops of the original Dongjiang Town, and Wu Kejin was no exception. He was originally a guerrilla general of Dongjiang Town. He surrendered to the Tiance Army earlier, and showed his level in the process of attacking Tieshan and Yizhou, so he was reused.

In fact, he was not only a general from Dongjiang Town, but was the military household of the Qianqian House of the Jinzhou Guards. His home was at the foot of the Pheasian Mountain twenty miles east of Jinzhou Acropolis.

During the Tianqi period, the Liao Dynasty was in ruins, and the Liaoyang Shenyang fell one after another, and the cities in southern Liaoning fell one after another. It was inevitable to see the Jinzhou Guards, so he took his family to Mao Wenlong, who had gained a foothold in Pidao, and was also one of the elders of Dongjiang Town.

But not long after, in June of the third year of Tianqi, under the command of Sun Chengzong, the Guanning Army cooperated with the navy of Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, and coordinated with sea and land to attack Lushun overnight, attacking the Jinzhou Guards, which had few troops, and defeated them in one battle.

Then, before Nurhaci could react, he successively captured Fuzhou Wei, Gaizhou Wei, Hongzui, Wanghai, Yongning and other important forts, and most of the southern Liaoning were re-controlled by the Ming army.

Nurhaci then launched a large-scale counterattack, but Yuan Keli set up ambush in Fuzhou, Yongning, Jinzhou, and Lushun. He attacked the city with torches at night and burned the enemy camp with rockets. It was transparent all night, and the sound of killing shocked the sky. The Later Jin Dynasty was defeated and left.

On the fifth day of the 10th, General Zhang Pan, with the support of Dengzhen Chen Yourong, set up an ambush outside the city. At midnight, the fire attack defeated the Later Jin army. The Later Jin army "dumped the equipment, guns and cannons and fled." The Ming Dynasty and the opposition celebrated, thinking that "the establishment of a town was not successful." Yuan Keli "takes on the people who were stationed in Ningxian, and when North Korea assisted the troops", "the soldiers went out of the east and attacked the horns of Lushun" expanded the results of the unprecedented combat effectiveness in order to achieve "recovery". "The two troops must meet with Wenlong, and Wang Shaoxun, and Guan Dafan listened to the supervision of Denglai's governor Yuan Keli, forming a vertex and a junction, and making a horn." He repeatedly ordered the dispatch of troops in the two towns to support each other, "Every time they sent out a surprise, the prisoners were captured." "Carrying on the wind and set up fire, the cunning slaves gathered in the air, set up an ambush and fought at night, and the angry soldiers were plundered."

On the third day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Tianqi, the Later Jin took advantage of the freezing of sea water and attacked Lushun with more than 10,000 cavalry to avenge Yuan Keli's miserable defeat in the night of Qiuhuo. Yuan Keli was waiting for the enemy based on intelligence, and he made a new arrangement for the navy in Denglai and Dongjiang towns, and ordered the Ming army to set up an ambush outside the city of Lushun. Chen Yourong led the navy to wander among the islands along the coast to attack and support. The Ming army, led by Zhang Pan, defended the city until it was exhausted, and still insisted on not surrendering. The Later Jin had no choice but to send envoys to discuss peace. Zhang Panli was beheaded in front of the army to sacrifice flags and defeated him. Later Jin fled in panic.

The Ming army's strategy changed from the original retreat and lost the city to attack instead of defense. Under the great situation, it was a termination sign because of Yuan Keli's departure. Wu Zhiwang, who took over, was not very concerned about Liao affairs, devoted himself to medical research, and was busy compiling the Jiyin outline.

In the spring of the fifth year of the Tianqi period, Yuan Keli left Denglai for only half a year. Zhang Pan, the most potential and uneasy general of the Later Jin Dynasty, was trapped in a siege and fought hard due to lack of dispatch and support. Faced with Nurhaci's crazy counterattack.

In March, Sun Chengzong learned that the four slave chiefs, Beile Huang Taiji, had entered Yaozhou, so he planned to attack Yaozhou. However, due to the lack of Denglai restraint, Wu Zhiwang refused to send Dengzhou naval support. The Juehua Island navy of Guanning Army, Jin Guan, Yao and Xian and others came to pick him up. The army was forced to pass through the Sancha River in the fishing boat, which led to a crushing defeat. Sun Chengzong also dismissed from office and returned home.

These strongholds in southern Liao were once again attacked by the Later Jin Dynasty. It was not until the first year of Chongzhen three years later that the General of Fuzhou, Liu Xingzuo, returned to the Ming Dynasty, and the Jinzhou Guards returned to the hands of the Ming army.

As a general of Dongjiang Town, Wu Kejin was also sent to the defense of Jinzhou Guards, which could be considered as returning home. However, with Yuan Chonghuan's improvisation to kill Mao Wenlong, Liu Xingzhi killed Shen Shikui, the deputy general of Dongjiang, and civil strife in Dongjiang. Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Li Jiucheng led his troops to Dengzhou and came to Sun Yuanhua's command, while Wu Kejin chose to stay in Lushun.

He still had a certain attachment to his hometown. He did not want to leave his hometown, so he led his army to station in Zhongqian Qianhusuo City. Although he would face the attacks of the Tartars from time to time, it was difficult for the Tartars to capture the city with artillery, and it was also difficult for the Tartars to capture it, which was a peaceful time.

When the new Dongjiang General Huang Long arrived in Dongjiang Town with three thousand Guanning troops to eliminate the rebellious Liu Xingzhi, the situation was getting better, and new disputes began again.

Although Huang Long was very loyal to the Ming Dynasty and was a greedy man, the Guanning Army brought him to exclude the local soldiers in Dongjiang. Wu Kejin was transferred back to Pi Island. Last September, the Navy of Tiance Army competed with the Later Jin for Dongjiang Town. Wu Kejin naturally chose to surrender to the Tiance Army. So, together with He Xing and Liu Daming, who were also the first to surrender, he became the commander of the Dongjiang Army of the Tiance Army.

Now, Wu Kejin wants to take back Jinzhouwei himself.

And he believed that after the Jinzhou Guard was taken back, it would never be thrown away again.

After setting up camp, two hundred cavalry were divided into two parts, and one hundred cavalry were divided into ten teams to investigate the situation near Jinzhou Acropolis, as well as between Fuzhou Guards and other cities.

The other 100 cavalry were also divided into a team of ten people to launch an attack on the Jinzhou Acropolis.

Of course, they did not forcefully attack the city, but instead followed the example of the cavalry corps and started a war and harassment, so that the enemies in the city could not have a good rest. When they launched an attack tomorrow, they would definitely not be able to exert their full strength.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

As night fell, n sounds sounded intermittently on the fields near Jinzhou City.

N sounds quickly alarmed Abatai in the city. After knowing that it was the enemy's harassment, he came to the city to check the situation.

A flash of light appeared on the pitch-black field, and then a crisp n sound came, and a big golden soldier was shot and fell down.

The rest of the people set their bows and arrows, shooting at the place where the fire just appeared. Dozens of arrows went down, but there was no effect, and there was no scream. There was no doubt that after the enemy finished shooting, they moved their positions.

At the same time, another fire light appeared not far away, and another big gold soldier fell down, but I couldn't tell whether it was the previous enemy soldier or the other enemy soldier this time.

In this situation, the city walls on all sides are constantly on the scene, and people fall from time to time.

Abatai on the top of the city, looking at the fires that appeared from time to time outside the city, the warriors of Dajin fell under the attack of the enemy, and a feeling of extreme aggrievance arose from the heart.

In the past, the Ming army was huddled in the city to welcome the attack of the Great Jin warriors, or was defeated by the Great Jin warriors in the field.

Never thought that now he was leading thousands of troops and horses, hiding in this small Jinzhou Acropolis, passively defending, and the enemy was attacking only a hundred people, but he could not go out of the city to fight back.

He began to think about what his destiny would be and whether he could survive this difficulty.

Abatai's mother, Irgen Jueluo, was born in an ordinary family. She was not favored by Nurhaci during her lifetime and never received any honor after her death. This made Abatai stand among all the brothers. However, he was very ambitious. Even if he was born and was not favored, he could still be valued as long as he showed his abilities. Therefore, when he was twelve years old, he put on armor and went into battle.

At the age of 23, he led the army independently for the first time, and later fought with his father Nurhaci for more than ten years. However, such achievements are still not as good as his younger brother Huang Taiji, his younger brother Ajige, his fourteenth brother Dorgon, and his fifteenth brother Duozhe. When Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he was awarded the Beile. Although Abatai also ranked among the Beile for many years of military achievements, he was ranked last, even inferior to his nephew Yuetuo and Haoge, and was still looked down upon.

He once complained to his subordinates, but when others learned about it, Huang Taiji was extremely dissatisfied and summoned other Beile to discuss how to deal with Abatai.

The Great Beller Daishan first taught Abatai: "Before this, you didn't even have the qualifications to discuss matters with the five ministers. Degele, Jirgalang, Dudu, Yue, Shuo, have already participated in the political discussion, but you are not among them. Because you are among the brothers, the father Khan gave you the blue flag, so he has the identity of Beile. Who do you want to bully today? Ajige, Dorgon, and Dodo are all the sons of the whole banner of the father Khan, and Zhubei is among the first to you. You are now a Beile, and your heart is still insufficient. You want to refer to Daishan, Manguertai, and Amin with the three great Bellers to disturb the government. If you become the Great Beller, wouldn't you have the idea of ​​calling Khan again?"

Immediately, other Baylors joined the ranks of accusations, and Abatai could only bow his head and confess his guilt, willing to be punished. In the end, he was fined a carved horse, each with a plain horse and four pairs of armor.

Although the punishment was not serious, it was a big blow to Abatai. Last year, the Tiance army captured Tieshan, Pi Island, Great Wall, Yizhou and other places. The strength of Abatai's incense blue flag, which was not many, was greatly damaged. Many ministers and Beile reported to Huang Taiji to take away his incense blue flag.

He cried in front of Huang Taiji and stated his past since he went to war with his father Khan, as well as the friendship between his brothers. Huang Taiji also gave up pursuing his responsibility because he was old and had a good ability to lead troops to fight, and symbolically added four Niulu to him.

Now, the Tiance Army set up camp outside the city to build engineering equipment and the thirty or forty red-clothed cannons. He was a little suspicious that his destiny might end in this Jinzhou Acropolis.
