When Yang Zhen left the city, he originally expected to guerrilla outside Songshan City for a while. However, he did not expect that he would return to the city after only three or five days out.

The biggest reason why he returned to the city was that he unexpectedly caught Dodo.

Yang Zhen believed that with this crucial prisoner in his hands, the Manchu Tatars' strategic vision for attacking the western Liaoning encirclement for reinforcements was likely to undergo major changes.

And as long as the news spreads that he has returned to Songshan City with Duoduo, the war situation in western Liaoning will definitely change significantly immediately.

Needless to say, the siege of Ningyuan will definitely be solved.

The Manchu Tatars' strategic attempt to attract the Ming army in Shanhaiguan to come out for reinforcements was doomed to fail.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Manchu Tatars gathered among Songshan and Jin this time will definitely attack Songshan City next.

To many people in Songshan City, this is a bad thing.

But for Yang Zhen, this is not a bad thing.

The siege of a city by the Manchu Tatars is of course a bad thing. After all, no city's grain reserves can withstand the siege of the Manchu Tatars for many years.

It would be really terrible if Huang Taiji, like Chongzhen's four-year siege of Dalinghe City, besieged Dalinghe City for several months without attacking and waited for the city to run out of food and grass.

But this time, Yang Zhen believes that Huang Taiji may not have the same patience as before. Even Huang Taiji himself still has that patience. Prince Dudo's two brothers from the same mother, namely Azig and Dorgon, decided to

You won't have that kind of patience.

The three Dorgon brothers were born to the same mother. After the old slave Nuerhachi died, their biological mother was forced to be buried. The three brothers had to stick together to survive in a dangerous environment. The relationship between them was unprecedented.

It can't be compared to the kind of plastic brotherhood that Huang Taiji treated them.

And this is a perfect opportunity for Yang Zhen.

Based on the current strong defense of Songshan City and the quantity and quality of various firearms equipped by the officers and soldiers in Songshan City, Yang Zhen is not afraid that the Manchu Tatars will gather heavy troops to attack. On the contrary, he is afraid that they will not attack.

He didn't care whether Huang Taiji came or not, as long as Dorgon and Azige were willing to come.

Between the Manchu Tatar pseudo-emperor Huang Taiji and the Manchu Tatar Prince Rui Dorgon, Yang Zhen was actually more worried about Dorgon. The enemy he wanted to weaken and attack the most was also Dorgon.

After all, the current Manchu Tatar pseudo-emperor Huang Taiji will die in three or four years, and he is not the one who finally led his army into Guan to unify the world.

But Dorgon is different.

Without the Dorgon brothers, the Manchu Qing Dynasty might still be able to sneak into the pass and even seize the capital, but it would be impossible to truly seize control of the Central Plains and unify the world.

Therefore, in Yang Zhen's personal eyes, the importance of Dorgon and Duduo far exceeded that of the Manchu Tatar pseudo-emperor Huang Taiji.

Now that Duduo has fallen into his own hands, it is no longer possible to play his huge role in the Songjin War and the Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs.

As for Niulu, the main Manchu and Mongolian force under Duduo Xiangbai, after the previous ambush battle in Dongguangou, he was basically maimed and disabled.

For Yang Zhen, the next focus of his attention, or the focus of attack, is Dorgon and his Manchurian White Flag.

The reason why he made up his mind to return to Songshan City was because he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to capture Duduo, use Songshan City as a basis to exploit his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and severely attack the power of Duoergon and his Zhengbai Banner.

Of course, Yang Chaojin, Xia Chengde, Lu Pinqi and other soldiers guarding the city, as well as soldiers from other departments outside the city, had a different view on Yang Zhen's decision.

In their minds, Yang Zhenneng resolutely led his troops back to the city in the critical autumn of Songshan City, which was equivalent to showing Yang Zhen's determination to stand with them and fight side by side, and his will to live and die with the city.

That night, in the lobby of the Assistant Camp Affairs Office in the front yard of the General Military Mansion, Yang Zhen introduced to Yang Chaojin and several deputy generals who welcomed him into the city, where he led his troops in Dongguangou and Woniugou in the northwest of Lianshan City.

Encirclement the point for reinforcements, ambush the Man Meng Niu Lu with the white flag, and the Han army Niu Lu successfully succeeded.

At the same time, Yang Zhen also mobilized them for battle again, expressing his plan to rely on the Songshan city defenses to inflict massive damage to the enemy.

It was not until this time that they fully realized what Yang Zhen's victory in Dongguangou meant to Songshan City.

But no matter what, Yang Zhen won victory outside the city and returned to Songshan City, which still gave the remaining generals great confidence.

For the officers and soldiers currently guarding the city in Songshan, with Yang Zhen, they seemed to have a backbone and the courage and confidence to fight against any powerful enemy.

The morning after Yang Zhen returned to Songshan City, the news spread in the city, and the morale of the soldiers in Songshan City immediately soared.

The previous unfavorable situation of declining morale in Songshan caused by Yang Zhen leading his troops out of the city at a critical moment has been quickly reversed.

——Since Yang Zhen led his troops to achieve a great victory in the field battle and captured Duduo, the Tenth Prince of the Manchu Tatars, then there is no reason why he could not defend it by following Yang Zhen and relying on the fortified city.

Of course, the news that Yang Zhen brought back to Songshan City was not all good news. The news that Jin Guofeng, former deputy commander-in-chief of Songshan and current commander-in-chief of the Ningyuan regiment, died in battle outside Ningyuan City made Zhang Degui, Xia Chengde, Lu Pinqi and others shocked and sighing.

After hearing the news, Jin Shijun was stunned for a long time after seeing with his own eyes the Ningyuantang newspaper that Yang Zhen and others brought back to the city. Finally, he knelt down in the direction of Ningyuan City and burst into tears.

Yang Zhen didn't know how to comfort Jin Shijun, so he could only lead the generals and stand silently facing Ningyuan to express condolences.

At the same time, when Jin Shijun stopped crying, Yang Zhen led several lieutenants in Songshan City and swore in person that they would kill all the Tatars Ba Yala and Alha Chaoha who were wearing yellow flags, and replace them with Jin Guofeng, the former deputy general of Songshan City.

revenge.

Xia Chengde, Lu Pinqi and their troops were all Jin Guofeng's subordinates when they were guarding Songshan, and they knew Jin Guofeng's temper quite well.

Although Jin Guofeng's death was not expected by them, if they think about it carefully, it is reasonable. However, more than 10,000 defenders in Ningyuan City watched helplessly from the top of the city as Ningyuan's general, Jin Guofeng, led his troops to attack and fell into a tight siege.

Seeing death without saving them sent chills down their spines and infinite fear in their hearts.

Powerful enemies are scary, but even more scary are the so-called friendly forces who want you dead.

Xia Chengde and Lu Pinqi quickly thought of themselves and who would come to save them if they were in Jin Guofeng's situation one day.

The two of them came to the conclusion that the person who would come to save them, or the person who dared to come to save them, would be neither Zu Dashou from Jinzhou City nor Zeyuan from Xingshan City.

When that time comes, the only person who has the courage, willingness and ability to lead the army to rescue him will probably be their current coach Yang Zhen.

However, it is said that on the morning of the next day when Yang Zhen returned to Songshan City, he handed over Dodo, the tenth prince of the Manchu Tatars, and a group of high-ranking Manchu officials with the White Banner and two Tatar generals of the Han army with the White Banner to the supervisory minister Yang Chaojin and his supervisor.

He was detained and supervised by the Military Justice Department.

Yang Chaojin has a group of people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang under his command. Maybe he can get more information from these prisoners, especially Jin Weicheng and Tong Guoyin.

There is no need to think about Duduo. Yang Zhen wanted to learn something about the situation on the Manchu Tatar side from him on the boat back to Songshan, but found nothing.

As for Turg and Ilden, they were bent on seeking death and refused to speak at all. Even Zhang Chen's threat to torture them was of no use.

In comparison, two traitors like Jin Weicheng and Tong Guoyin were much more cooperative. Yang Zhen learned a lot about the situation from their mouths.

From the words of these two people, Yang Zhen already knew that the commander who led the troops to stay in the Mantatar Xiaoling Hebei camp was Gushan'e Zhenma Guangyuan, the Manchurian Tatar's two yellow flags.

The main force of the Han army of the Two Yellow Banners he brought was composed of twenty Han troops affiliated with the Xianghuang Banner and six thousand men.

In addition to the Manchu Tatars and horses who stayed at Xiaoling's Hebei camp, there were also twelve Niulu troops who were affiliated with the Xiangbai Banner Han Army.

These twelve Niu Lu of the Xiangbai Banner Han Army who were not taken to Ningyuan by Shi Tingzhu were led by the Manchu Tatar Mele Zhang Jingying Erdai among the Niu Lu of the Xiang Bai Banner Han Army, and were led by Shi Tingzhu's brother Jiala Zhang Jingshi Tianzhu

, and Jin Weicheng’s old traitor father Jia La Zhang Jing Jin Yu and Fen Ling.

The entire Tatar Han army left behind in Xiaoling's Hebei camp totaled thirty-two Niulu, more than 9,600 people. Counting Zhang Jing's entourage at all levels, the total number of troops exceeded one.

Thousands of numbers.

All major and minor matters involving more than 10,000 troops were discussed and decided by two people, Gushan'e Zhenma Guangyuan of the two yellow flags and Mele Zhangjingying and Erdai of the Han army with a white flag.

At noon the next day after Yang Zhen led his army back to Songshan City, a group of troops sent by Hauge from Ningyuan City to inquire for information passed outside Songshan City and returned all the way to the Mantatar camp in Xiaoling Hebei.

After receiving the horrifying news brought back by Hauge's people, Ma Guangyuan and Ying'erdai, who were staying at Songjin Camp, were both shocked. They couldn't believe what might have happened in Dongguangou and Woniugou in the northwest of Lianshan City.

However, the news that Prince Hauge of Shuosu sent back, that is, Prince Duduo of Yu County was alive and dead, but his body was not seen, made them believe that something serious had happened.

At noon that day, Ma Guangyuan, Ying Erdai and the men and horses sent back by Hauge confirmed the situation, and soon focused their angry eyes on the Songshan officers and soldiers.

In the afternoon of that day, Ma Guangyuan and Ying Erdai quickly made their own reactions.

On the one hand, they sent three thousand men and horses of the Han army with yellow flags to gallop south to assist the Manchu Tatar purge king Hauge to withdraw to his camp on the north bank of Xiaoling River.
