Outside Jinzhou City, by the Xiaoling River.
Both sides of the originally flat river bank were now covered with densely packed Manchu and Qing camps with flags fluttering!
The true yellow flag, the bordered yellow flag, the pure white flag, the bordered white flag, the pure red flag, the bordered red flag, the pure blue flag, the bordered blue flag, almost all the elites of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing dynasties!
Although Zu Dashou, who was in Jinzhou City, understood that the reason why Huang Taiji set up such a large formation was more of a bluff and did not have so many actual troops!
But the situation is stronger than the people!
Even if he sees through Huang Taiji's original intention, Zu Dashou has no good solution at the moment!
Although the ancestral family has been entrenched in Liaodong for many years, it has great power and a complicated network of relationships. The soldiers under its command are all elites from hundreds of battles left by Yuan Chonghuan. But with the power of a city against the power of a country, which one is lighter and which is more important?
Of course there is no need to go into details!
On the top of Jinzhou City, Zu Dashou was dressed in military uniform, standing with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the Qing army camp not far away in trance.
Next to them, dozens of tall and strong bodyguards with strong martial arts skills hid more than a dozen steps away, remaining silent and afraid to make the slightest sound!
Only the sea breeze with a faint moist and salty smell blowing from the Bohai Bay gently brushed the old man's already gray hair!
One life, one spring for grass and trees!
As the last famous general of the Ming Dynasty's "Zhuguo", Zu Dashou also knew that although he had experienced countless fierce battles throughout his life, and had weathered all kinds of storms and waves smoothly, at this moment, he was in the midst of
At the most critical point in his life!
Fight~! He has no confidence that he can calmly face hundreds of thousands of Manchu and Qing Eight Banner elites!
Surrender~! He could not face the Ming Dynasty, which supported him with almost all the strength of the country!
Ten years in Hedong, ten years in Hexi!
As the great general who carried the cauldron during Yuan Chonghuan's era, Zu Dashou took over almost all the elite troops left behind by Governor Yuan!
Back then, during the Jisi Incident, Governor Yuan was imprisoned with hatred, and his life was precarious. Zu Dashou once destroyed Shanhaiguan and fled eastward, but because of a superstitious letter from Yuan Chonghuan, he returned to the city of Jinzhou that he was most familiar with!
Yuan Du’s past has gone with the wind, and Zu Dashou is not easy to comment on, but it is undeniable that for his Zu Dashou, for his ancestral family, the Ming Dynasty court can almost be said to be the most benevolent and righteous!
Starting from the great victory of Ningyuan, the ancestral family became prominent in Liaodong!
Zu Dashou's brothers Zu Dalue, Zu Dacheng, Zu Dabi, nephews Zu Zeyuan, Zu Zepei, Zu Zesheng, Zu Zefa, Zu Zerun, Zu Kefa and so on, all are from the top to the general army, and the bottom is
Senior officers at all levels to deputy generals, staff generals, and guerrillas!
Ningyuan, Dalinghe, Jinzhou, Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan and many other Liaodong fortresses have almost become the farmland of the ancestors!
Even Li Chengliang, who was once famous in Liaodong, had never reached such a place!
"After death, I will not worry about the lack of brave generals, my loyal soul will still guard Liaodong!"
Governor Yuan’s oath before his death echoed vaguely in his ears!
In a daze, Zu Dashou seemed to have returned to the scene of the Ningyuan victory!
Governor Yuan was high-spirited, Zhao led the teachings, He Kegang, and his ancestor Dashou, and dozens of powerful generals gathered together. The soldiers worked with one heart and their lives, and Huang Taiji beat him to the ground, panicking like a bereaved dog!
But things change with circumstances, what about now?
In the first year of Chongzhen, Zhao led his troops and died in battle under the walls of Beijing. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, He Kegang was killed by himself because he was unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Dozens of other fierce generals also died. Until now,
Of the "brave generals" under Yuan Du's command, only his ancestor Dashou remains!
But can he really be regarded as the ‘brave general’ that Governor Yuan calls him?
In a daze, Zu Dashou couldn't help but burst into tears!
Zhao Shujiao and He Kegang, they are the real good men!
If they were the ones who died in the battle and they were the ones who survived, surely they would be more firm than their own position in the face of this confusing situation now, right?
Wealth charms the eyes, wealth soothes the heart!
Nowadays, his ancestor, Dashou, is no longer the brave and invincible warrior he once was. He tucks his head in his waistband and only knows that he is a brave general who follows Yuan Du behind him to kill the enemy and perform meritorious deeds. Over the years, his superior clothes and fine food have made him as strong as ever.
The rocky heart gradually softened beyond recognition!
A person may be fearless and move forward bravely, but what about a family or a clan?
Zu Dashou couldn't help but smile and shook his head. At this point, he actually had no choice at all!
"Forget it! Let's just resign ourselves to fate! If God really wants to destroy our Ming Dynasty, my old bones will have to be left here to be buried with you!" Zu Dashou suddenly gritted his teeth and tightened his fists.
The old fist, filled with countless blood, looked indifferently at the various bright flags in the Manchu camp, speechless for a long time!
The soldiers next to him were all veterans who had followed Zu Dashou for many years, and they knew Zu Dashou's temperament deeply. However, at this time, raindrops began to float in the sky, and the sea breeze from the east became stronger and stronger. It was obvious that a storm was about to come.
It’s coming!
"Commander, it's going to rain heavily! Let's take shelter for now!" A leader of the soldiers, not wanting to see his commander in the rain, hurriedly came forward to persuade him.
Marshal Zu just came back to his senses and couldn't help but chuckle, "It doesn't matter! Although I am old, I am not so weak! How about it? Over at Songshan, has there been any news from Governor Hong?"
The soldier hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Commander, the fifth master personally rushed to Songshan overnight the day before yesterday. Presumably, it won't be long before news comes!"
Zu Dashou nodded!
He didn't want to fight a decisive battle with the Manchus, but he also didn't want to surrender to Huang Taiji's lust. The imperial reinforcements and Hong Chengchou's main force became all Zu Dashou's hopes at this time!
If the imperial army wins, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will inevitably retreat, and the situation in Liaodong will inevitably return to its original situation!
But if Manqing wins... Zu Dashou really doesn't want to think about it anymore!
At this time, dozens of horses suddenly galloped past in front of the Qing army camp on one side!
The Qing army scouts who were wandering aside were like flies that had seen meat, and they immediately surrounded him!
But when several of them came over, these Qing army scouts dispersed one after another! Their horse power could not keep up with these Guan Ning troops!
"Commander, it's the fifth young master, it's the fifth young master!" A soldier with keen eyes saw the heroic Zukfa riding on the first horse at a glance!
Zu Dashou's eyes suddenly lit up, "Quick, hurry up and welcome the Fifth Young Master into the city!"
"Yes!" More than a dozen soldiers hurried down the tower, and the city's defenders, who had been waiting in full formation, quickly started to operate!
~~~~~~~
After a short time, Zu Kefa came to Zu Dashou with a dusty face. He knelt down on one knee and kowtowed respectfully, "My son, see your handsome father!"
"Haha! Fa'er, please get up quickly! What do you think? Is there any news from Songshan?" Zu Dashou personally helped Zuke Fa up and asked slightly anxiously.
Although Zu Kefa is Zu Dashou's adopted son, he has a deep relationship with Zu Dashou. In addition, he is brave, good at fighting, brave and resourceful, and has won Zu Dashou's trust!
"Commander Father, this time, I really have good news for my son! Hehe!" Zukefa chuckled and deliberately let it slip, and then said: "Commander Father, the reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived! I heard that we are the first to take the lead.
The one who arrived at Songshan turned out to be Shandong Liu Ruyi, who is known as the strongest army in the world!"
Zukofa said this, but his eyes were extremely disdainful!
Who is it?
How dare two kittens and puppies be called the strongest army in the world?
Where will this leave their father and son?
After fighting a few victorious battles with the homeless army like Li Chuang and Xian Thief, how dare they be called the strongest army in the world?
So how do Guan Ningjun, who has been facing the Manchu Qing Dynasty every day for decades, deal with it?
There is no doubt about the power of the Guan Ning Army, although they have no chance to drag themselves to the battlefield inside the pass and fight with the civilian army with real swords and guns!
But Zu Kefa has absolute confidence. It doesn't take much more. As long as he is given 30,000 elite Guan Ning troops in one year, he will definitely be able to kill all the thieves Li Chuang and Xian who are jumping up and down in the pass!
"Liu Ruyi? Liu Ruyi!" Zu Dashou had already passed the competitive age, so he ignored Zuk Kefa's little thoughts and murmured Liu Ruyi's name!
Although he was outside the customs, Zu Dashou was familiar with the name "Liu Ruyi"!
Jinan City defeated Dorgon!
Pinggu City defeated Dorgon again and killed Obai, who was known as the first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so Huang Taiji had to avoid his edge!
With such strength, such courage, and such cool methods, even his ancestor Dashou was a little ashamed of himself!
Dorgon and Duduo brothers, others don't know their strength, but how could Zu Dashou, who has been in Liaodong all year round, not know?
These are two wolves!
They are still two hungry wolves that eat people without spitting out their bones!
These are two hungry wolves that make Huang Taiji unable to sleep peacefully!
Liu Ruyi was able to defeat the two of them twice in a row, which already shows enough!
"Liu Ruyi? He's actually here too! Okay! Okay!" Zu Dashou suddenly laughed, with a hint of blush on his face, and said excitedly: "Apart from Liu Ruyi, who else is here?"
Zu Kefa could despise Liu Ruyi, but he did not dare to be a little bit disrespectful towards his father-in-law, Zu Dashou, who was as tall as a mountain. He hurriedly explained: "Datong Commander-in-Chief Wang Pu also followed Liu Ruyi! Yang Guozhu, Commander-in-Chief of Xuanfu Town,
Shanxi Commander-in-Chief Hu Dawei is also behind! However, Bai Guangen, Tang Tong and the others may have to wait three to five days before they can reach Songshan!"
Zu Dashou smiled even more when he heard this!
Wang Pu, Bai Guangen, Tang Tong and the others are like a bunch of drunkards, and they can't arouse Zu Dashou's interest at all!
But Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei have long been famous among the powerful armies of the Ming Dynasty. They should be people with some real abilities!
In this way, plus Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, plus his direct nephew Wu Sangui, plus Liu Ruyi, who is known as the strongest army in the world, plus Hong Chengchou, the imperial court has invested so much money
, this time, the siege of Jinzhou may be promising!
"Fa'er! This time, you have to go there again in person! Bring more gold and silver to give to Liu Ruyi, Hu Dawei, Yang Guozhu and the others! No, as long as they come from all armies above the general level, everyone will have them.
Just say, this is my ancestor’s birthday, a meeting gift for them! By the way! Remember, the etiquette must be thoughtful! Put away your little temper, and don’t offend anyone for your father!” Zu Dashou said to them.
Zukfa on the side warned carefully!
"Huh? Yes!" Although Zukefa was still a little reluctant, his father had spoken and he did not dare to disobey him. He hurriedly packed up the items Zu Dashou said and prepared to go to Songshan City again!
