15,000 iron cavalry, under the command of Azig, divided into four divisions from the main formation in a moment, and each division led 2,000 troops to the surrounding area of Qiantun City.

Azig knew that the Ming people lacked war horses, and according to the Ming people's detailed report, the entire Xuanliao defense line currently has less than 20,000 cavalry, and there is no ability to fight with his Zhengbai Banner warriors in the field.

Besides, even if the Ming people have cavalry, he is not afraid at all, his white flag is invincible in the field! At least for now.

Azig looked at the Qiantun City in front of him contemptuously, the information sent back by the pseudo-Ming was very detailed, the defenders of the Qiantun City were 6,000, all of them were foot soldiers, and the defenders of the city were two unknown scholars.

Originally, the regent Dolgon didn't care much, but the person who came from the capital swore that the two scholars who defended the city were the right-hand men of the Ming Dynasty.

This made Dolgon interested, since the defeat of the Daqingshan Customs, Dolgon paid more attention to the intelligence of the Ming Court, and about the new upstart of the Ming Court, Liu Hongchuan, even ordered people to check the three generations of their ancestors.

But Dolgon couldn't find out where this Liu Hongjian came from, but he only knew that this An Guohou had killed his own brother.

Dorgon's death had made Dolgon almost mad, and the Ming Dynasty's massive expansion of the army made Dolgon realize that he had to strike first.

It is for this reason that when he learned of the identity of the defender of the former fortress, Dolgon immediately ordered a night march with Azig as the vanguard.

Even if the cavalry could not storm the city, it could at least prevent the defenders from retreating.

Yan Yingyuan, who was in Qiantun City, frowned when he saw that the Eight Banners Army was besieging but not attacking.

He also roughly guessed the enemy's purpose, the Eight Banners Army was waiting for the main force to come, and he didn't say that there were only six thousand defenders in the city, even if there were six thousand, as long as he went out of the city, he was definitely not the opponent of the Eight Banners Cavalry.

The main force of the Eight Banners Army will definitely come, but what about Shanhaiguan?

Yan Yingyuan really felt that something was wrong at the moment, the front line of Shanhaiguan stretched for thousands of miles, the defenders were already insufficient, and there was a shortage of cavalry, where could he make room to rescue his small Qiantun City.

Any sane general at this time will choose to abandon the car to protect the commander!

Yan Yingyuan looked back at the city, and the more than 2,000 people who had migrated in from the middle and later were mixed in the streets of the city, and the local residents who had already prepared their bags and were about to flee to the Guannai stopped in the city.

Yan Yingyuan instructed the soldiers to distribute rice and grain to the people in the city, and at this time, perhaps only by filling their stomachs could they dispel the fear of some people.

There was a strange stalemate inside and outside the city for a while, and no one inside the city was allowed to go out, and it was impossible for the cavalry outside the city to climb the city walls.

The next morning, Yan Yingyuan climbed the city wall in his battle armor, and last night was definitely the hardest night he had endured in all these years.

Fortunately, Huang Degong is a competent general, and he is really afraid that this guy will send troops to the rescue.

Most of the soldiers who had been on duty on the city wall all night snuggled back to back by the wall, and the men who prepared the rice brought rice to the city wall.

"The dog official in the city, I am Azig, the prince of the Great Qing Dynasty, can I dare to go out of the city to fight?" A loud roar suddenly came from outside the city, shattering the silence of the entire morning.

Azig was suffocated, he originally thought that even if the guards of Qiantun did not dare to come out, at least Shanhaiguan would come to support.

For this reason, he prepared an ambush, but he had been lying in a depression until the second half of the night, and no one came.

"The dog officer of the city, I am ......"

Boom –

Before Azig could shout the second time, a furlong machine on the gate tower of Qiantun City opened fire, but because the distance was too far, the cannonball only hit dozens of meters in front of Azig.

Rao was so, and the loud noise still startled Azig.

This is a demonstration, meaning, I won't go out, you have the ability to fight?

If Jiannu is better at field warfare, then Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu, the two canons from Jiangyin, are better at defending the city, and the food hoarded in Qiantun City is enough to support dozens of days.

Yan Yingyuan was too lazy to deal with the clamoring Azig, and the indifference on the Shanhaiguan side also made Yan Yingyuan let go of the stone in his heart, if Huang Degong was really emotional, then it was really a good idea.

Because of the current situation, he simply does not have the extra troops to go out of the city to cooperate.

Azig shouted under the city for more than an hour, and after noon, the army of Jiannu from Shengjing finally arrived as scheduled.

The army that stretched for miles made the defenders of Qiantuncheng panic all of a sudden, they had never seen so many Tartars, and in the past ten years, the maximum number was tens of thousands.

The Jiannu army was jointly led by Daishan and Abatai, with a total of 170,000 Manchu, Han and Mongolian banners, except for tens of thousands of horses in the hands of Dolgon, who was sitting in Shengjing, Jiannu almost poured out.

"Dai Shan, you guys are really slow!" Azig complained when he saw Daishan.

"Hmph, the army is on the march, there are countless grains, grasses, and baggage, how can you run fast as a whole horse, let's tell everyone about the situation here!" Dai Shan ignored Azig, he took a wine bag from his horse's back, and drank it for a while.

In order to speed up the march, the Jiannu army only rested for two or three hours last night, and set out before dawn.

"Hmph, what else could it be? What kind of Yan Yingyuan in the city, a turtle with a shrunken head, shouting around me that he just refuses to go out of the city! Azig said.

"What about Shanhaiguan?" Before Dai Shan could speak, Hauge, who was dressed in armor behind him, said.

"I didn't believe it, I sent a sentry to investigate, the gate of Shanhaiguan was closed, I'm afraid I'm going to be a shrunken turtle, these timid dogs!" Azig spat out.

"Oh, the king didn't mean you!" Azig saw that Fan Wencheng, Shang Kexi and the others had a little wrong on their faces, and hurriedly explained.

Fan Wencheng is the military advisor of this war, and even if the commanders Dai Shan and Abatai issue military orders, they must seek Fan Wencheng's opinion.

If it is explained that the eunuchs in the army played the role of supervising the army, then Fan Wencheng at this time was undoubtedly the same, Dolgon attached great importance to this operation, but in order to protect Chahar, he had to sit in Shengjing.

And Fan Wencheng, who has always been valued by Dolgon, became Dolgon's eyes.

"Prince Ying doesn't have to be like this, the minister knows!" The corners of Fan Wencheng's mouth and beard trembled, this Azig might as well not speak, this is pointing at the monk and scolding the thief.

"Don't rub it off, hurry up and order, this king will spend the night in this Qiantun City tonight!" Azig wasn't angry yet, but Haug couldn't help it.

In the Jiannu army, if the character is rough, Duoduo is counted as one, Azig is counted as another, and Haug is also counted as one.

It is precisely because of his courage and resourcelessness that as the eldest son of Huang Taiji, Haoge did not inherit the throne.

"Then the siege task will be handed over to the Han Army Zhenghuangqi, what does Lao Qi think?" Dai Shan asked Abatai.

Geng Zhongming, the king of Jingnan, immediately went out to prepare to receive the order.

"Second brother, you have the final say." If it is the Han army that is the most capable of besieging the city, although Abatai is not in the same camp as Daishan, he has no opinion.

"In this way, the credit of King Jingnan will be handed over to you, everyone is waiting to live in the city tonight!" Dai Shan was still quite polite to Hanchen.

"Geng Zhongming has an order! We will live up to your high expectations! Geng Zhongming said loudly.

Lao Kong, you gny, Lao Tzu is here to avenge you, Geng Zhongming sneered and walked towards his troops.

PS: Thank you for the complete set of "Guoyi" presented by the big guy Fenglin, Han Handing will study it carefully and live up to your expectations.
