    Before this expedition to the southwest, Huangshi decided after careful consideration that he would directly control the two battalions of the fire fighting camp, Panshi and Xuanfeng. He handed over the command to He Dingyuan and Jia Minghe. If there are no unexpected circumstances, these two people will always be the commanders of these two battalions.  Battalion Officer until the end of this expedition.  With the complete reorganization of the army, the forward selection battalion has completely lost all its independence, and Jia Minghe is already a very ordinary general under the Huangshi system.  However, Huangshi did not intend to treat the elders of the Select Front Camp such as Jia Minghe and Pu Guanshui badly because of this, because he felt that "burning bridges across rivers" was really an unpleasant reputation. Besides, recruiting new people into his group would also help dilute the inherent characteristics of his old subordinates.  power.  The armor and artillery Huangshi were ordered to be shipped to Nanchang and then sent to Guizhou via Yangtze River shipping.  But the soldiers all carry helmets and weapons with them. Huang Shi feels that since it is an army, these basic equipment should still be kept close to the soldiers.  Funing Town can still produce some armor this month. These newly produced equipment will also be shipped to the southwest front with the highest priority.  With the addition of this batch of supplies, Huang Shi felt that the difference in armor could almost be made up.  But the shipping capacity of the Yangtze River is limited, and the shipping capacity that Huangshi can get from it is even more precious.  According to the intelligence analysis obtained by Huang Shi, in a few months, the transportation capacity he could obtain was only enough to transport about one battalion of troops in addition to materials.  In the end, Huangshi decided to use this force to transport the auxiliary personnel of the Frontier Selection Battalion and the Military Intelligence Department and the General Staff Department.  The maritime transport on the southeast coast can also share part of the transportation of troops from Fujian to Guangzhou by sea, and then go north along the Guangdong official road to Guizhou.  However, the transportation capacity on this road is also limited. Recently, pirates in the Fujian Sea have become more and more active, which has diverted the main attention of the Fujian Navy, so the transportation capacity cannot support the strength of a battalion.  However, although pirate activities are becoming more and more rampant, Huang Shi estimates that when the pirates encounter a troop transport ship full of officers and soldiers, they still don't have the courage to jump on and rob.  So since there is a certain capacity.  Huangshi still needs to be used.  He asked Panshiying to transfer most of the baggage to the Yangtze River Route and sent He Dingyuan to lead people by boat to Guangzhou and then take Route 6 to Guizhou.  After exhausting the transport capacity of the sea route and the Yangtze River, the last remaining battalion of soldiers and horses has only one way, which is to take Route 6 to Guizhou via Jiangxi and Huguang.  This road is undoubtedly the longest and most difficult one. There may be many troubles on the road. Huangshi decided to lead the team to take this road himself.  But the hard work paid off. Although the firefighting camp had to put in their best efforts, they heard that Huang Shi personally led the team.  On the contrary, the morale of the officers and soldiers in the whole camp was high.  The soldiers in the Fire Fighting Battalion, who have been following Huangshi for six years, also have a strong sense of pride.  "The critical moment still depends on our fire-fighting battalion." "Our fire-fighting battalion is both the most capable of fighting and the most able to endure hardships." "Our fire-fighting battalion is the old battalion among the commander's old battalions."  According to Zhang Zaidi's report, the officers and soldiers of the fire-fighting battalion are all  They were confident and there were no complaints. Even the newly added soldiers were eager to try.  After the problem of military morale is solved, what remains is the problem of logistics and speed.  This march is not only difficult.  There is also the drag of baggage. Although Huangshi can do without armor and cannons, a large amount of food is consumed every day.  "Maybe we can get some from the local government so that the troops can carry less food. Anyway, our army is marching under orders. It has the right to obtain supplies from the local area." Yang Zhiyuan gritted his teeth in distress when he calculated the consumption of food transportation.  If the food for these two thousand and five hundred miles has to be transported by manpower from Funing Town, then in order to ensure that these five thousand people are fed, Funing Town will have to mobilize 100,000 auxiliary troops and hire a large number of vehicles and civilians along the way.  They will be completely crushed and impoverished.  Jin Qiude objected to this at the time: "But if it is supplied from the local government, the first is the loss. This is not a big problem. It is better to give them some, but I am afraid it will affect the marching speed of the army."  He Dingyuan always said no on this kind of issue. If Huang Shi hadn't pulled him here to listen, he would have been more interested in doing other work.  Neither Jia Minghe nor Zhao Manxiong had any objections. One was because he was new here and he didn't want to talk much. The other was because he hadn't weighed all the conflicts of interest yet.  Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the status of military attach¨¦s has greatly declined.  The civilian clique felt that it was necessary to strengthen the control system of military mobilization, which resulted in the logistical capabilities of each general being very limited.  Even Huangshi now can hardly organize the transportation of food thousands of miles, let alone an ordinary military town.  Therefore, civilian officials believed that as long as they could control the food supplies along the way, they could further strengthen their control over the generals.  Therefore, before the Chongzhen Dynasty abolished discipline, local officials in the Ming Dynasty generally refused to hand over food directly to the generals who led the troops. Instead, they prepared the food and sent local soldiers and government officials to supply it according to population.  The civil servants claimed that if they did this, the generals would not be able toThere is any chance of corruption, but Huang Shi believes that it will be easier for civil servants to become corrupt.  If that¡¯s all you do, then it¡¯s okay.  But then the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty considered a new question: Is it necessary to overeat the marching army?  The civilian group generally believed that if the soldiers were overfed, it would easily cause inconvenience in movement, which was obviously not conducive to marching. Therefore, the civilian group later stipulated that only two meals a day would be provided to the guest troops passing through the border.  If it were just like this, it would still be bearable. However, Ming's civil service group soon discovered another potential loophole, that is, if the army marched too fast and could pass through two or even three counties in one day, the soldiers would be able to eat four or even four meals.  After six meals, wouldn¡¯t it mean that those Qiu Baba gang took advantage of him?  Therefore, the civil service group of the Ming Dynasty added another rule: the troops arriving on the same day would not be given meals and could only be fed after staying in the local area for a day. This completely blocked the last way for soldiers to "eat more and occupy more".  The members of the Ming army are all humans, not mules. They cannot make a living by eating grass. Of course, the soldiers also hope to increase the frequency of eating as much as possible, so even in emergencies, the Ming army will move for one day and stop for one day to ensure that  Soldiers can eat one day every two days.  In fact, in most cases, the mobilization speed of the Ming army is slower than this.  Because the soldiers also know that once the camp is moved, they will not have a chance to eat today, so the morale will become very low when the camp is moved, and they may even mutiny. Sometimes the generals who are eager to leave even have to offer rewards to lure the soldiers to move out.  If the situation is not very urgent, of course the soldiers would like to stay longer and walk less, and the generals also understand that hungry soldiers cannot walk fast even if they walk.  An army with low morale not only marches slowly, but is also prone to a large number of escapes and thefts. Therefore, the generals of the Ming army generally refused to ask for trouble and insisted on marching in a hurry. Instead, they responded to the soldiers' calls and walked slowly along the road.  The marching question raised by Kim Soo-deok.  That's what I'm talking about.  Now that we are marching inland, Huangshi must abide by this set of game rules.  If Huangshi walked and stopped for one day, he would have to carry enough food for the day of the march, that is, he would pay half of it himself; if Huangshi walked and rested for two days, it seems that he could bring less food and eat more with the local government and eat less on the road.  .  The patience will pass; if you take it slowly like other Ming troops, then there will be no problem if the soldiers save some food every day and go out every three days.  If this is done, Huangshi will not think of Guizhou until it takes a year and a half.  So Huangshi chose the third way-spreading money.   "Your Excellency, you plan to spend money to buy food for five thousand troops?" When Huang Shi came up with this idea, his officers were shocked: "How much will it cost?" Huang Shi thought this method was the most convenient because of the location.  The people always have a surplus of food. As long as the army can provide money, the people can buy it elsewhere even if they don't have enough food. This is equivalent to a large number of one-time logistics personnel.  "It's always cheaper than transporting it yourself, and transporting silver is much lighter than transporting food." Although everyone agreed with Huang Shi's words, Yang Zhiyuan obviously hadn't bypassed this circle yet: "But we are the army and we are going to help the southwest.  Why does the army still need our Funing Town to pay for it? " Huang Shi felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Although the border defense army was ordered to suppress the rebellion, it was a bit strange for the general to pay for it, but wasn't this in the Ming Dynasty?  Feudal dynasties always have their historical limitations: "What we need most is time. Spending more money is not a problem." Jin Qiude glanced at Huangshi strangely: "Commander, are we pressed for time? The general thinks so.  You can save some money by not being too anxious and attacking slowly. "It will take several months, or even several years. Besides, the first blow in the war is the most powerful one. We will kill three battalions in three months."  It is the cheapest way to bring everyone to the front line of Yunnan and Guizhou and quickly put down the rebellion with a thunderous strike." After Huang Shi finished speaking, he looked at Jin Qiude and added: "Whether it is for the country or for us in Funing.  "It takes three months to walk from Xiapu to Guiyang" Jin Qiude read the number softly and lowered his head to open a piece of information in front of him. After a while, he looked up and said, "The journey will take approximately 3 months, Marshal.  Two thousand four hundred miles means walking 30 miles every day for ninety days." "Yeah, that's about the same." Huang Shi nodded and knew this number.  In the past, when we were in the hilly area of ??southern Liaoning, the daily marching distance of the Changsheng Island Regulations was forty miles. If a forced march was used, it could reach sixty miles a day, but the forced march could not last more than five days.  Jin Qiude asked tentatively: "Commander, the more than two thousand miles from Xiapu to Guizhou are almost all mountain roads. Shouldn't we make more time? If we reduce the march speed to 20 miles per day, we will  I think there is no problem.Li Yunrui also echoed loudly: "The commander-in-chief also agreed with Jin Guerrilla's suggestion. In the past, the Ming army's daily march on this road was ten miles. Although they are far from comparable to our Funing army, we may not be able to march thirty miles a day.  " Huangshi plans to enter Jiangxi from Ruijin, Ganzhou Prefecture, and then take the shortest route across Huguang via Hengzhou and Baoqing to Guiyang, Guizhou Prefecture: "After entering Guizhou, we will reach the border area. The shorter the time on the road, the longer we need.  The less money we spend, so we still have to speed up as much as possible. " Jin Qiude and others seem to be hesitant. After all, the average daily speed of the Ming army is ten miles and fifteen miles, which is already high.  .  In the past, the long-distance strategic mobility of pure cavalry units was only twenty miles per day.  The thirty miles proposed by Huang Shi is really unprecedented.  So they were still a little nervous.  Because this kind of long-distance high-altitude march was also the first time for the Funing Army, although Huangshi's subordinates did not openly refute him, they all had worries written on their faces.  Huang Shi slowed down and asked: "What does your marching speed mainly depend on?" "The first is logistics to keep the soldiers well fed, and the morale of the officers and soldiers. The higher the morale of the officers and soldiers, the faster the marching speed will be." "Yes, that's good.  ." Huang Shi is very satisfied with his understanding of his subordinates.  He remembered what modern biology said.  The most durable mammal on earth is human beings, and modern military theory seems to believe that human marching speed is basically determined by the will to fight.  Therefore, after the emergence of nation-states, the average daily march speed of modern armies exceeded thirty miles.  After the 20th century, the daily march speed of human armies has increased by leaps and bounds. Except for human legs, no other animal can keep up with the speed of armored vehicles and tanks.  In Huangshi¡¯s original time and space, he didn¡¯t know which Chinese army could be called a modern army.  Therefore, Huangshi can only use the modern army as a reference.  He stretched out his hand and drew on the marching route he had traced. Regardless of spring, summer, autumn, or winter, China's first modern army would advance at a rate of one hundred miles per day on this route without rear or supplies.  Lasted for a year.  They are all Chinese.  Huang Shi still remembers the record of the forced march of the modern army: within twenty-eight hours, two groups of enemy troops were defeated, the attack advanced two hundred and forty miles on the rugged mountain road, and then they immediately climbed over the chain bridge.  The most exaggerated thing about defeating the last group of enemies was that they actually brought a small mountain cannon and several heavy machine guns with them as they ran along the mountain road.  ¡ª¡ªThe morale of the troops I have trained so hard for so long is high from top to bottom.  You can't even compare to their 30% strength if you have a strong will to fight, right?  "Is there anyone here who doubts the morale of our Funing Army?" Huang Shi shot a circle of subordinates in the room. They were all silent: "Okay, let's settle it. Our only problem is to keep the soldiers fed and drunk."  " On May 15th, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, more than a thousand Houjin cavalry from Manggurtai and Jierhalang went straight south along the official road. As they marched, the houses and farmhouses on both sides of the official road began to burn.  .  It turned into a continuous series of ruins.  The cavalry could occasionally catch up with a group of Liaoxi military households or merchants who fled south. These people turned around under the strict orders of the Hou Jin Army.  Heading towards Liaoyang and towards their slave career When Jierhalang came with the reinforcements, the official road was almost blocked by soldiers and civilians who surrendered from the north. Tens of thousands of people silently obeyed the orders of the Hou Jin Army and burned them honestly.  He picked up his house, carried his family property and walked towards Jinzhou.  According to Jierhalang's description, when he was traveling south along the official road, his troops were like a light boat in the torrent, as if they would be overturned by the surrendering Ming army in western Liaoning at any time.  Because they had gained a lot, Mang Gurtai and Jierhalang stopped going south for a while and instead called Yue Tuo and Azig to start moving their property together.  When Hou Jin was busy moving to Liaoxi, Huang Taiji was still obsessed with persuading Zhao Lejiao to surrender: This day, Emperor Taiji made a suggestion to Jinzhou garrison Zhao Lejiao: fight a battle outside the city to determine the outcome. Hou Jin sent out ten men to prove the outcome.  The army sends out a thousand men. If Hou Jin wins, the Ming army will surrender; if the Ming army wins, Hou Jin will relieve the siege.  Zhao led the teaching and asked Huang Taiji: What if you take the opportunity to seize the city gate?  Huang Taiji swore: I promise not to take the opportunity to rob the city gate.  Zhao Shujiao replied: I can¡¯t trust you!  Huang Taiji then scolded Zhao Lijiao: "If you get caught in the wild and hide in a cave, you will howl wildly and think that you can't do anything!?" On the same day, Huang Taiji sent messengers to rush back to Liaoyang to order Hou Jin Ge Niulu to mobilize urgently and dispatch a large number of manpower.  Come to Liaoxi Corridor to move.  Amin and Daishan, who had just returned to Liaoyang after hearing that Huang Taiji had made a great harvest, also hurried out. They didn't even bother to wait for the army that was still in North Korea and had not yet returned to Liaoning. They hurriedly collected 20,000 bannermen and Baoyi and pushed the cart overnight.  Come to Liaoxi Corridor.  The followers of the Later Jin army surrounding JinzhouThey carried it from the 16th to the 22nd of May, and then dug three trenches around Jinzhou to surround Zhao Lijiao and left some troops to guard Jinzhou City.  Afterwards, the main force of the Jin army immediately went south along the official road.  Start collecting leftover grain, grass and materials near Ningyuan. ?¡­ ?May 24th, Tingzhou, Tingzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province.  Huang Shi said goodbye to the officials, merchants and people who were leaving the city, then jumped on his horse and silently waved the tambourine. The red flag rumbled again, and Huang Shi began to move forward.  The soldiers behind the flag held the weapons in their hands tightly and marched westward with serious expressions.  Hong Antong approached Huang Shi and reported in a low voice: "Commander, if you go further forward, you will reach the boundary of Jiangxi. Well, it is Ruijin, the state capital." "I know." The fire camp has gone through five days since it left Funing Prefecture for sixteen days.  The average daily travel speed of 150 miles is nearly 35 miles, which is faster than Huangshi's expected speed.  However, this long march will continue for dozens of days.  Huang Shi was actually not very sure about how long the soldiers could hold out.  Along the way, more than a dozen soldiers have fallen behind due to illness, but anyway, we are marching on our own soil, and there is no need to stop for the soldiers who have fallen behind.  The surrounding officials promised to send people to take care of these soldiers.  If the number of stragglers was not too large, the local administration could even arrange stagecoaches for them to catch up.  After leaving the city, Huang Shi jumped off his horse and took the lead and walked along the official road with the soldiers.  There are always accidents during the march. Huangshi has ordered that horses be used except for the internal guards and engineering teams.  All other horses can only serve the lightly wounded and sick, and no one can use the horse power.  When entering the city, Huangshi didn't want to attract too much attention, so he would ride a horse for a while. But once he left the city, Huangshi would lead by example and walk with the soldiers.  Among the troops in Huangshi, those military horses probably had the easiest burden. Not only did they not carry anything, even the fodder was carried by the soldiers for them.  But even marching at such a relaxed pace.  The horses kept falling.  These horses need to eat several kilograms of grain every day to restore their strength. At night, there will be heavy troops to feed them night feed.  But if nothing unexpected happens, Huang Shi estimates that in at most twenty days, the troops and horses coming out of Fujian will not be able to keep up with the team.  Now the riding horses of the internal guards and engineers who are leading the battle have all been exchanged for horses at nearby stations. Huang Shi secretly made up his mind that he would no longer retain horse power until he reached Jiangxi. In addition to leaving a few horses to continue experiments, the rest  I just risked my life and replaced the horse as soon as it was used up.  Whenever you reach a fork in the road, you will see one or two firefighting battalion engineering teams or officers and soldiers from the Funing Town Internal Guard. They silently direct the troops to the correct fork and then salute the huge column.  The engineers and soldiers sent out these days have repeatedly discovered problems with road conditions or calculated the diversion capacity of small roads in advance. Their work has saved the entire battalion officers and soldiers from making countless detours.  Huang Shi was very creative and asked the officers and soldiers of the inner guard to wear helmets dyed white, all they had to do was write the word "gendarme" on them.  As for the engineers, Huang Shi originally wanted to give them green helmets, but this design was unanimously opposed by the officers and soldiers of the engineers and soldiers, so now the helmets of the engineers are dyed yellow.  As he walked, a knight in a white helmet rode straight to Huang Shi and leaned over to report loudly to him: "There is a village on the roadside three miles in front of the commander." Huang Shi did not stop at his feet and just responded lightly: "I know.  Go ahead." "Yes." The knight in white helmet saluted solemnly, then clamped his horse's belly tightly and headed for the road ahead.  When the dense feather forest passed by the small village, some old people and children in the village stood on the roadside and quietly watched this unusual troop.  As Huang Shi strode across the village, he waved his right arm and shouted loudly: "Brave victory!" "Brave victory!" The fire-fighting battalion soldiers also shouted in unison. At the same time, they raised the weapons in their right hands rhythmically to the upper right.  Second-rate.  "Brave victory!" As the dense feather forest passed by the village, the loud shouts echoed over this small village.  The officers and soldiers of the fire fighting camp would shout slogans like this loudly when passing through each village.  And every time at this time, their steps seemed to become more brisk. Even at dusk when the sun was in the west, when the officers and soldiers made passionate chants, they would be driven away at the same time, full of fatigue.  At noon.  The firefighting battalion moved into the predetermined resting place.  The people who came from nearby to help had already prepared the food.  According to the latest order, fire-fighting battalion soldiers must thank the people around them loudly before taking their portion when receiving food.  "Thank you, thank you." Zhang Chengye said loudly twice, and then he ran to the side with his big buns and was about to start eating, but he felt hungry again.Just before Zhang Chengye was about to take his first bite, a commoner suddenly handed him a ladle of water. Zhang Chengye immediately stood up, took the ladle, and said hurriedly: "Thank you. Thank you so much." Huang Shi mobilized the water in his hand.  All propaganda methods were used to publicize the righteous deeds of these common people to the officers and soldiers. He told the officers and soldiers that without these common people selling them food and helping them cook, they would be hungry or eat cold food.  Huang Shi said these words every day, which made Zhang Chengye's ears almost bristle, but Zhang Chengye didn't dare to say nonsense. Wang Qinian's reference was still fresh in his memory.  Last time when Wang Qinian was speaking in Huangshi, he muttered in a low voice: "Don't they also collect cash?" Just because of such a complaint, Huangshi immediately turned his back and demoted Wang Qinian from Qian Boss to General Manager.  He was just asked to continue leading the team under the title of Chief Qian for the time being.  Huang Shi also claimed that Nian Zai Wang Qi¡¯s first offense was only to be dealt with lightly.  If he heard similar words from another officer, that officer would not have to stay in the firefighting camp but would be immediately sent back to Funing Town to be put into the reserve officer sequence.  Huang Shi repeated his point of view over and over again these days: Regardless of whether these people are paid to sell things to the fire-fighting camp, it is a favor. All the work done by the people to help the fire-fighting camp is a righteous act; any common people who have helped the fire-fighting camp are  They are all righteous people and righteous men; it is with the help of these righteous men that the fire-fighting battalion can march lightly.  So that he didn't have to transport food from Funing Town himself; he, Huangshi, had no repayment for these righteous deeds and could only give these martyrs silver twice the market price to express his indifference.  With the repeated brainwashing by the Internal Guard, the Loyal Patriotic Catholic Church and the military officer system, Zhang Chengye gradually felt that what Huang Shi said made sense, and his soldiers became more and more grateful to the people they met along the way.  When the officers and soldiers of the fire-fighting battalion were eating, Huang Shi asked Hong Antong to hand over the money to the villagers, which was far more than the market value, while he personally expressed his gratitude to the elder over and over again.  It wasn¡¯t until the embarrassed elder left that Huang Shi breathed a sigh of relief and started eating his portion of the meal.  Hong Antong took a big bite of the bun.  While praising: "The commander is really a courteous corporal." Huang Shi said with a smile: "They helped us a lot, didn't they? I should just say a few words of thanks." "Commander, I have good views." As Funing participated in Huangshi's decision-making  The town's senior military officer.  Hong Antong knew exactly what Huang Shi was planning.  Huang Shi felt that in addition to paying double the market price, the officers and soldiers should also be sincerely grateful to the people.  Huang Shi also believes that there is no fool in the world who can feel that he is truly grateful to the people.  Hong Antong once suspected that no matter how many good things Huangshi did, the news would not spread very far at the speed of the fire-fighting battalion's march.  But Huang Shi told him with a smile at that time: "You underestimate the people. I guarantee you that their news will always be ten times faster than our marching speed." The situation these days has increasingly proven that Huang Shi's prediction is correct. Now  It is getting easier and easier for the internal guards to buy food and grass. Every day on the way forward, they encounter people who seem to be coming to the market.  Many of them came out before dawn and traveled over mountains and ridges from more than ten miles away. They stayed early on the route of the fire fighting camp, waiting to sell various agricultural products to the Funing Army.  Not long after the team left in the afternoon, an internal guard came to report: Dinner and accommodation for the fire-fighting camp have been arranged for today.  A dispute broke out in the first few villages over the opportunity to help the fire camp build temporary camps and provide dinner. In the end, the internal guards in charge simply dispersed the troops so that several villages could do some business.  "Ah, I have a feeling that our journey will become more and more comfortable as we go." Huang Shi walked without stopping and let out a long sigh.  The people on this road are very poor, but the fire camp has good food.  You can have eggs for breakfast every day.  There is meat every day and boiled foot-washing water in the evening: "Never underestimate the power of the people." After a while, Huang Shi suddenly said again: "Well, let's add another order. From now on, the officers and soldiers must sing a military song before leaving every day.  These righteous people thanked them for their righteous deeds. " On the evening of the 26th, Mang Gurtai and Jierhalang led the Houjin vanguard troops to arrive at Ningyuan City.  When the Hou Jin Army saw the Ningyuan City Wall again, the twenty nearby Guanning Field Battalions had already assembled in Ningyuan under the orders of the Liaodong Governor.  Facing a formidable enemy, Ningyuan City was densely covered with warriors of the Guan Ning Army.  This time Ning Yuan showed more courage than a year and a half ago. The governor of Liaodong only ordered three gates to be blocked. The east gate facing the sea was still open.  Ten battalions of 20,000 Guan Ning cavalry were neatly arranged between the sea and the city wall, ready to attack the invading enemy invaders at any time.  "It turns out that Ningyuan is so small." Jierhalang saw Ningyuan Castle for the first time, which was an 800-meter-wide and 850-meter-long fortress: "Listen?Last time, seven battalions and tens of thousands of men were packed into this city. How did they contain it?  "I don't know, but last time there were so many people standing in Ningyuan City, you think about it."  Not counting the unarmored men, there were 20,000 armored soldiers standing on the wall less than a thousand feet long, so there would have to be 20 men standing per foot (an average of six armored soldiers standing per meter)!  " Qilharang laughed and said: "Three Belles are joking. It's not allowed for people to step on others. It's not enough to step on one level. Well, we have to step on three or four levels.  "So this time they came out. Just now, some soldiers said that Ningyuan has gathered 20 battalions and tens of thousands of military households who have fled. I guess the small town can't stand anymore." Looking at the black people crawling over the city,  Guan Ning cavalry.  Mang Gurtai smiled at Jier Haran beside him and said: "It seems that we miscalculated and they don't seem to be planning to surrender." "Well, let's set up camp at Sanbeile and then send someone to report to King Khan." "Okay." Mang Gurtai  Tai Ran set up camp in the north of Ningyuan City and asked Huang Taiji for reinforcements.  On May 27, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Mang Gurtai led a thousand Houjin armors and 40,000 Guanning cavalry to confront each other for one day. Before dark, Huang Taiji led 6,000 armors and more than 20,000 bannermen and Baoyi with carts.  Arrive.  Huang Taiji immediately divided the six thousand armors into nine groups.  They surrounded 40,000 Guanning cavalry in Ningyuan City and then dispersed and looted the surrounding suburbs of Ningyuan.  That night, Huang Taiji¡¯s army stayed in the camp built by Mang Gurtai and his vanguard.  The small car began to transport the collected material resources back to Liaoyang.  The next day, Six Thousand Houjin Armor continued to surround the 40,000 Guanning Cavalry and Ningyuan City like iron barrels, while organizing manpower to burn all the forts abandoned by the Ming Army between Ningyuan City and Qiantun.  On the 28th, Huang Taiji saw that there was no more loot and he estimated that there was no hope of taking Ningyuan Fort, so he turned and left under the watch of the governor of Liaodong and the 20th Battalion of Guanning Cavalry, while leaving some clothes behind to continue to seize the military garrison in western Liaoning.  "Fifth brother, we have had a good harvest this time, right?" "Yes, it's really good this time. No one has bothered us for more than a month in western Liaoning." Mang Gurtai was also in a very good mood. This shows that the Dongjiang Army is almost disabled, otherwise  Mao Wenlong will never fail to take action.  Huang Taiji pointed at Ningyuan City, which was gradually disappearing, and laughed: "The governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty is very interesting. I guess he must be a person who is familiar with the art of war." "The art of war? Who?" Mang Gurtai dismissed it.  Di Leng snorted: "I understand how Yuan Chonghuan, a rat, fights. He just gathers all the troops around him, several times more than our entire army, and then sits in the castle. Just wait for us to fight.  After looting all around, he retreated. Anyway, there are too many things to move here in Liaoxi. Who would be willing to eat him? "Haha, that's what I'm talking about. There is a Han strategist who wrote a book called "The Art of War".  It talks about being as immovable as a mountain. I guess the governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty must have read this book. When we attacked Korea, he was immovable as a mountain;  Haha, the governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty will be called "Moveless as a mountain" Yuan Chonghuan. "What a good word. There are so many rats in the Han people. It's no wonder they dare to write the art of war.  "The beating is so bad." "Fifth brother" Huang Taiji wanted to tell Mang Gurtai that he should read more books, but when he blurted out the words in his mouth, he had already turned into: "Let's go back to Liaoyang together.  Let¡¯s go hunting.¡± ¡°Okay!¡±¡­ ¡°The Tatars have retreated in Ningyuan City because of Mr. Yuan¡¯s power.¡± ¡°With Mr. Yuan here, how dare the Tatars dare to come and die after eating a bear¡¯s heart and a leopard.  ?¡±¡­ Amidst the joy of celebrating victory, a loud roar suddenly sounded: ¡°Master Yuan, Jinzhou is still under siege?¡± The generals in the hall saw the people above doing something.  The gesture was immediately followed by cheers: "Master Yuan, I highly believe that this must be a trick of the Tatars to lure the enemy." "Master Yuan clearly saw that the Tatars from thousands of miles away wanted to kill us."  "Master Yuan!" The ignorant one!  The voice of Shiwu sounded again: "Sir! The Tatars have kidnapped many merchants and civilians and are still outside robbing our military settlements. General Mo is willing to lead three hundred servants to fight and take back the people and military settlements." The man in the middle made a decision.  Likewise gestures.  "Your Excellency Yuan, the Tatars have shown me that my weakness must be deceitful." "As Lord Yuan has seen, we must not lose a big thing for a small thing." "General Mangui, let me ask you!
