Yuan Chonghuan climbed onto the tower with a solemn expression, and the Yuan people's crazy offensive hit Yongping County like a violent storm.

"Hold it, you must hold it!" he shouted, but the heavy face of the soldier at this moment gave him a premonition that something was not going to happen.

"Sir!" The soldier couldn't say it. The news in his heart was like a heavy stone, making him almost unable to breathe.

"Tell me." Yuan Chonghuan relied on the city wall to support his body steadily, and the premonition in his heart was already shrouded like a dark shadow.

The guard hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "General He's entire army was defeated miserably, and he was captured!"

"What?" Yuan Chonghuan's heartbeat stopped instantly. His eyes fell on a figure covered in blood and flesh. In the blur, he seemed to vaguely remember his identity.

"He is General He's personal guard!" came the weak voice of the personal guard. He was hit by a stone in the previous battle and fell asleep.

After Jin Bing left, he woke up with difficulty, and with his last strength, he brought the news of He Kegang's ambush back to Yongping County.

Yuan Chonghuan's original doubts disappeared at this moment. Before the guard could finish his words, he was already looking at Qian'an County to the west of Yongping, his brows furrowed.

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Chonghuan could only sigh. Finally, he took a deep look at Yongping County at his feet, turned around and walked down the city.

The starry sky in the middle of the night is like a piece of dark velvet, and the stars are like dots of silver needlework, piercing the silent night sky, reflecting the neighing of war horses and the whispers of soldiers. The deputy general next to him asked with a bitter look on his face: "General, we

Where else are you going to retreat to?”

After hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan remained silent. He just tightened the reins in his hands and said coldly: "Retreat!" The voice was like a cold blade, cutting through the silence of the night.

Yuan Chonghuan's Guan Ning Cavalry now has more than 30,000 men, like a steel-like force, shining coldly in the cold night. At the same time, Zhao Shujiao's 8,000 men are blocking Qian'an County, as if

The solid rock resisted the torrent. Zu Dashou had already taken a secret detour with his five thousand men to rush to Zunhua from the direction of Santun Camp, like a smart snake, moving quietly in the night.

After thinking secretly for a while, Yuan Chonghuan knew that it was useless to defend this place now, so he immediately led his troops to leave under the cover of night. Like a gust of wind, they came quietly and then left quietly. After receiving the news of Huang Taiji's troops, Zhao Lijiao immediately began to

layout.

He placed his only one thousand gunmen on the mountains on both sides in front of Qian'an County, waiting quietly for prey. He also organized manpower to cut open the frozen river in front of the county, instantly forming a natural barrier.

Then all the bows and arrows were collected, and the trees on the other side of the river were cut down, revealing a clearing, like an open grassland, waiting for running horses. Three small boats were left at a ferry, like a lonely

The waterfowl left a graceful arc on the lake. It was a backhand for the firearms operators to evacuate, and it was their last line of defense in times of danger.

After doing all this, Zhao led the teachings to wait quietly for the Jin soldiers to attack. His eyes were like a cheetah, flashing with cold light in the darkness, ready to hunt prey. Under the dark night sky, their waiting was like a silent boulder, waiting quietly.

With.

Huang Taiji stared closely at the pale He Kegang, with a sneer on his lips, gritted his teeth, eyes flashing with anger, and roared: "Just watch, I will definitely kill all Ming people!"

Then, he turned around and ordered the army to prepare to attack Qian'an County. At this time, a scout came galloping over and reported in a short breath: "Khan, the front has reached outside Qian'an. There may be an ambush ahead!"

After hearing this, Huang Taiji smiled contemptuously: "Let people kill him." His voice was cold and low, and he waved his hand nonchalantly.

A brave general got on his horse and responded to his order. The smell of rust in the air became stronger, as if indicating that a bloody conflict was about to break out.

"Kill!" This order was like a blizzard in the cold winter, sweeping across the entire army in an instant. The soldiers swarmed into the valley, but a deafening loud noise suddenly came from both sides of the valley.

Immediately afterwards, the entire valley was shrouded in smoke. Looking at the fallen soldiers one by one, General Jin Bing showed no mercy. He just ordered coldly: "Hurry up, hurry up!" His voice was cold and decisive.

.

They quickly rushed up to both sides of the valley, but at this time the figures had disappeared between the peaks, and instead they were galloping towards the river bank.

"Chase!" General Jin Bing ordered again. They chased to the river bank, but they could only see people jumping into the water. A hole had been opened in the originally frozen river surface, letting out bursts of cold breath.

Three small boats faintly appeared on the river. Everyone climbed onto the boat shivering in the cold water and drove the boat towards Qian'an County.

The golden soldiers on the shore stamped their feet and beat their chests.

Huang Taiji received the news and led the mighty team to the river bank. He saw that there were faint traces of ice again, but he knew that it would take at least seven or eight days to wait for the river to refreeze. By then, Yongping might have found a way to deal with it.

Strategy. He scanned the surrounding woods, all of them were cut down, and he could only order people to find other paths. However, when he saw Qian'an County surrounded by rivers, he could only order people to collect wood and build pontoon bridges.

The light in Zhao Shujiao's eyes flickered. He turned around and calmly walked down the tower, took out the secret message sent by Yuan Chonghuan, walked up to the tower steadily, and ordered in a deep voice: "Attack!" The five cannons on the city gate roared and fired shells.

It hit Jin Bing on the head like thunder.

Under the cover of the shelling, ten boats resolutely left the city gate. The soldiers on the boats were holding bows and arrows. Seeing this, the Jin soldiers could only retreat and distance themselves from the Ming army.

Huang Taiji was thinking about a strategy to defeat the enemy in the military tent. Suddenly his men came to report that a strong enemy was attacking from the north. He looked sharply and asked in a deep voice: "Who are they?" His men replied hesitantly: "They are the Yuan people's cavalry.

!" Huang Taiji took a deep breath. Could it be that Ming Ting joined forces with Yuan Ren again?

"Great Khan, what should we do now?" Duduo asked. Huang Taiji thought for a moment and said decisively: "The fourteen Baylors who are sent in the direction of Yongping must break through Yongping as soon as possible. We are here to hold back the enemy forces here.

, Once we break through Yongping, victory is in sight!"

Mao Wenlong watched Liaodong Bay slowly approach the shore. The shore was full of corpses of Jin soldiers. His eyes were firm and he ordered: "Take a rest for a day and attack immediately!" Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming said in unison: "Yes!" In response,

Like thunder deafening, full of determination.

Yuan Chonghuan threw the letter in his hand into the candlelight, and a wisp of green smoke curled up.

"Come here!" he shouted loudly.

A personal guard quickly walked into the military tent and saluted: "Sir, what are your orders?"

Yuan Chonghuan asked: "What's going on in the direction of Yongping?"

The guard replied: "All the Yuan people have entered the city and are now galloping towards Qian'an County."

Upon hearing the news, Yuan Chonghuan nodded, and then said to the soldiers: "I understand, let's go down."

After the personal guards withdrew, Yuan Chonghuan looked at Qian'an City, showing a sad look, and said silently: "For the Ming Dynasty, we will all die!"

Zhao Lijiao looked at the thousands of elite soldiers who had landed ashore and murmured: "You are the fire in our army!"

Looking at the people who had disappeared into the mountains and forests, Zhao Shujiao felt the vibration of the earth and secretly said in his heart: "Here we come!"

Dorgon looked at Qian'an County, which was very close at hand, and at Zhao Shujiao standing on the top of the city, and showed a cruel smile.

The order to kill came out of his mouth: "Kill!"

Following Dorgon's voice, everyone rushed towards the city wall like crazy.

Just as Zhao led the crowd to resist, Huang Taiji looked at the two pontoon bridges that had been erected and coldly uttered two cold words: "Attack!"

"Sir, Dongmen City is broken!"

Looking at the blood-soaked sergeant, Zhao Shujiao silently wiped the neck of Yuan Ren who was in front of him on the top of the city, and then said coldly: "Kill!"

"Yes!" The sergeants looked at Zhao Shujiao with determination in his eyes, knowing that he was determined to die, so they could only resist together to the death.

The city gates opened wide, and the Yuan and Jurchen armies rose up like a violent wind, like passing locusts, devouring every inch of land in the city. They showed no mercy, clenching the weapons in their hands, with a cruel light in their eyes, and

The Ming army launched a fierce fight.

The sounds on the battlefield seemed to have been pressed on the mute button, leaving only the sounds of sword fights and fighting, and the city was dyed bright red. The air was filled with the smell of blood and flames, and the whole city fell into endless chaos.

of chaos.

Huang Taiji stood at the top of the city, witnessing all this, his heart was clenched as if by cold iron pincers. He knew that this was war, this was endless cruelty. He watched Zhao Shujiao fall at the top of the city, three

The long knife pierced deeply into his body, and hot blood spurted out, staining his armor red.

At this time, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats penetrated the hustle and bustle on the battlefield, and Huang Taiji instantly became alert. He looked at the source of the sound with a cold look on his face. It was Lu Tu who was coming towards him. Huang Taiji took a deep breath.

He sighed, clenched the sword in his hand, and prepared for the next battle.
