It is about 250 miles from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan.

If you drive on the highway in later generations, it will only take more than an hour. According to ancient algorithms, you can get there in about half an hour.

However, during this period, cavalry marched for 60 miles a day, about four or five days before they could reach Ningyuan City.

This gap is really not too big!

During this process, the Jianlu of Guangning Zhonghou and Ningyuan Zhongyou were all as dumbfounded as the Jianlu of Guangning Qiantunwei. The Ming Dynasty's cavalry of about 20,000 came in a mighty way, and then ignored them and continued to march eastward and headed towards Ningyuan.

At the beginning, when they saw the Ming cavalry, they were shocked and thought that the city in front had been removed by the Ming army.

It took less than a while for the news to be captured by the Ming army?

But when the Ming cavalry went around directly, they suddenly realized that the Ming army had not attacked the city in front of them at all and had just passed by!

They really can't understand this situation.

When marching and fighting, the rear path is the most important. Generally speaking, it is necessary to attack cities and villages to ensure the safety of the rear path before continuing to advance.

However, not only did this Ming cavalry suddenly appear, but he actually ignored their cities and crossed directly!

What's the situation?

They couldn't figure it out and didn't dare to make any changes.

First, they were worried that the Ming Dynasty infantry would appear, and second, because they had more than 20,000 cavalry troops on their backs. No matter how much they believed the Qing Dynasty was invincible, they would not dare to go out.

That's it, they could only crouch in the city and wait for further progress.

……………………

On the side of Ningyuan City, the abnormality of the Ming army in the sea route finally attracted Turge's attention.

After all, the Ming Navy could not be too idle. It took about a month to go back and forth from Shanhaiguan to Juehua Island.

In addition, no matter how much the Ming army covered it up, the signs of increasing numbers of people on Juehua Island were eventually observed by Ning Yuan Jianlu.

It can be said that if it weren't for the Shengjing incident, Turge would probably have paid attention to the abnormalities of the Ming army earlier.

That afternoon, he was on the side of the head of Ningyuan City near the sea, looking at the direction of Juehua Island from afar, listening to the subordinates who were arranged to report the situation.

"According to the coastal post detectives, Ming ships have stopped coming and going in the past few days, and they have stopped at once, which is very abnormal!"

Turge immediately frowned when he heard this, and immediately asked, "How many days have this abnormality been?"

It was precisely because of so many days that Ming ships have been back and forth, which made them feel that it was a normal situation. Suddenly, Ming ships have stopped on Juehua Island and did not go back and forth, but instead felt abnormal.

"Three days!" his leader immediately reported, "Today is the fourth day!"

After answering, the leader asked again: "Sir, shouldn't he realize that the Ming army on Hua Island is almost ready and wants to sneak attack the hinterland of Liaodong again?"

No matter what he did, he never thought that the Ming Dynasty would fight against Ningyuan City, which was heavily guarded by the Qing Dynasty.

But Turge was shocked and said, "Why didn't you report it early?"

Because just two days ago, there was a Malay newspaper in Eduotai in Qiantunwei, Guangning, which shows that the country seems to have signs of attacking Qiantunwei.

Originally, Turg was nervous, but he didn't see any subsequent reports. He thought it was just a little bigger when he didn't stop fighting a night a while ago, so he was still thinking about Shengjing.

Now, in light of the abnormality of the Ming army on the sea route, he suddenly remembered the express report from Qiantunwei of Guangning.

What the hell is the Ming army going to do?

This doubt flashed through Turge's mind?

As one of the eight ministers of Jianlu, when Jirgalang was away, he was the chief general who guarded Ningyuan, of course he knew some things that ordinary Jianlu did not know.

For example, he is qualified to understand most of the situations that Hong Chengchou said.

In the Battle of Songjin, the Ming Dynasty mobilized all the troops in the Guannei who could be mobilized and gathered to rescue Jinzhou besieged by the Qing Dynasty, and was eventually wiped out. After this battle, there were no more decent troops in the Ming Dynasty!

However, it has only been about two years, and there are still thieves in the Ming Dynasty who are in chaos. Under such circumstances, he does not think that the Ming Dynasty's organization's large-scale attack on the Qing Dynasty!

Let’s take a step back and say, if Mingguo really wanted to launch a large-scale attack, why did he give up on Ningyuan’s important town?

Because Turge really couldn't understand these actions of the Ming army!

He was thinking, and suddenly, he saw a horse rushing to the top of the city and panting to him: "Sir, I'm not good. Ming Guoyao has already arrived at the right center of Ningyuan!"

When Turger heard this, he was shocked: Why did he arrive at Ningyuan Zhongyousou if he didn't take him at night? Why did there be no news about the previous few hamlets? Because the horse-reporting horse in front of him belong to Ningyuan City.

In the past, there was never such a large number of Ming army that did not collect at night.

According to various abnormalities, Turger suddenly felt the pressure.

So he immediately returned to the yamen and began to mobilize troops and send a large number of explorers to the direction of Shanhaiguan, trying to figure out what the Ming army was doing!

However, before Turge could calm down and think about the abnormalities of these days, his subordinates rushed in and reported to him: "Sir, the Ming Navy of Juehua Island is launching a big move and heading north along the coast!"

When Turge heard this, he frowned and asked, "Is it the Ming Dynasty navy who is making a fool of himself again?"

Before, the Ming Navy rushed north along the coast more than once or twice. However, the final result was that he returned to Juehua Island, just making a fool of himself.

His subordinates naturally couldn't answer his question.

After hearing this, Turge went up to the city wall again to see the situation.

Ningyuan City is in the northwest of Juehua Island. If the Ming army on Juehua Island wants to go north along the coastline to the hinterland of Liaodong, it will inevitably pass through Ningyuan City.

After getting on the top of the city, we could indeed see the dense Ming ships on the sea, heading north in a mighty manner.

What exactly is the Ming army doing?

This thought flashed in Turge's heart again, and he was a little annoyed.

Just when something happened in Shengjing, Ming Jun also came to join in the fun, which really upset him.

When I was hating the Ming army, I saw a fast horse galloping from the coastal defense line. I was under the city and told him loudly: "Sir, the waterline of the Ming Navy is very deep, this time it's true!"

The Ming Navy made a fool of his thoughts several times, but was eventually discovered by Jianlu. The waterline of the Ming ships was very shallow, which means there was nothing in the ship, so they no longer cared about the mysterious ships of the Ming ships. After that, the Ming ships did not go north any further.

This time, seeing the Ming Navy heading north again, after reporting the situation to Turge, the experienced Jianlu carefully saw the waterline of the Ming ships and rushed to report again.

When Turge heard this, he was shocked and quickly sent an order to send someone to the Ningyuan Zhongzuo Institute to send someone to Wanghaitai to carefully observe the movements of the Ming Dynasty Navy. At the same time, he also sent someone to the hinterland of Liaodong for warning.

"Report..."

Turge had not finished dealing with the situation of the Ming army at sea, and another explorer rushed over. As soon as he saw that he looked, he knew that there was an emergency military situation.

"There are a large number of Ming cavalry troops found on the right side of Ningyuan Zhongyou Institute, at least about 5,000 cavalry, and the subsequent situation is unknown!"

When Turge heard this, he was shocked. The Ming cavalry of about 5,000 cavalry had arrived at the Zhongzuo Inspector of Ningyuan. What happened to the Qiantunwei of Guangning? Why is there no news about Eduotai? Could it be that the Ming army has been surrounded?

At this time, Turger finally felt that the situation seemed to be serious.

Although he felt that the possibility of the Ming army's counterattack was logically impossible, the urgent reports he heard now proved that the Ming army did make big moves.

So he immediately ordered Ningyuan City to be on guard, gather troops, and prepare to rescue several hamlets, including Guangning Qiantunwei.

In Ningyuan City, there are three thousand Mongolian Banners and two thousand Qing Banners, totaling five thousand cavalrymen. Five thousand Korean musketeers and ten thousand Han Banners. These are all infantry or artillerymen. The armies of other tribes are about four thousand.

There are about 3,000 troops in Qiantun Acropolis of Guangning, and the Guangning Zhonghou Station is more than 2,000 troops behind, and the Ningyuan Zhongyou Station, which is closest to Ningyuan City, is only about 1,000 troops.

In total, Jianlu deployed military forces in Ningyuan’s defense system in total, there were actually about 30,000.

Turg led all the cavalry and dispatched 10,000 infantry troops, gathered in a hurry, preparing to go out of the city to rescue. In order to prevent the situation, he also sent a messenger to inform Jinzhou of the situation in Ningyuan as soon as possible.

However, when he had time to leave the city, another horse stalker rushed over and reported to him: "Sir, the Ming Navy had docked before the Wanghaitai, and landed on a large scale before Zhaiershan Fort!"

"What?" Turge was very surprised when he heard this. The Ming Dynasty navy actually landed?

Zhaier Mountain Fort is a place between Ningyuan City and Ningyuan Zhongzuo Institute. Where did the Ming Dynasty navy land? Could it be that it was to occupy where?

After thinking about this in my heart, Turge was shocked again!

Because he combined the entire situation and found that an unknown number of Ming troops emerged from Shanhaiguan on the land. Now, the Ming army on Juehua Island suddenly landed again, and this situation seemed to be...

Thinking of this, Turge felt a little dumbfounded. Because he came to a conclusion that the Ming army's intention seemed to be Ningyuan City!

This...how is this possible!

You know, not only is Ningyuan's city tall and strong, but it is also the place where the Qing Dynasty hoarded heavy troops.

According to past experience, if the Ming army wanted to defeat 20,000 Qing troops, it would have to dispatch at least 50,000 troops.

If Turge ordered to hide in Ningyuan City and defend and wait for assistance, at least five times the force would be required to siege.
