At this time, Ningyuan City is no longer a city, the Jiannu army went south to attack Ningyuan City, Hong Chengchou led his troops to defend Ningyuan, Jiannu attacked for nearly a month, and finally conquered Ningyuan City, this nearly a month, Jiannu bombarded Ningyuan City with heavy artillery, almost stripped off all the city bricks wrapped outside the city wall of Ningyuan City, and the city wall collapsed in large quantities, almost completely losing the ability to protect this city.

And after Jiannu broke the city, Ningyuan City was bloodied, and almost all the soldiers and civilians in the city were slaughtered, so Ningyuan at this time had completely become a ruin.

Even the surrounding villages were basically all destroyed by Jiannu, and the people fled, were arrested, and killed, and there were almost no people within a radius of dozens of miles.

Although Luo Li was ordered to guard Ningyuan, it was simply unrealistic for such a city to be used as a garrison, and if Ningyuan City was not repaired, I am afraid they would not be able to survive this winter.

Therefore, Xiao Tianjian was very aware of the difficulties Luo Li was facing, and when he ordered Luo Li to guard Ningyuan, Xiao Tianjian also issued an order to draw elite soldiers from various armies to complete Luo Li's First Guards Division, and expand them to a super-large scale with six infantry battalions, a baggage battalion, three cavalry battalions, a heavy artillery battalion and an engineer battalion, with a strength of 15,000 people.

Before Xiao Tianjian led the troops back to Shanhaiguan, before leaving, Xiao Tianjian also ordered the troops to take out more than half of the grain and ammunition they carried with him, and left them to Luo Li, ensuring that Luo Li's department would not have a shortage of materials in a short period of time, and ordered Xu Yixian to stay behind to assist Luo Li and guard Ningyuan City.

As for Luo Li, after sending away Xiao Tianjian and the army, under Xu Yixian's suggestion, he first sent some soldiers and generals to Juehua Island, and left a large number of materials on Juehua Island, and ordered these soldiers to build fortifications on Juehua Island.

And he himself led more than 10,000 soldiers and generals to be stationed outside Ningyuan City, built temporary fortifications on the spot, and began to repair Ningyuan City, striving to restore Ningyuan City's ability to defend before winter.

As for Xiao Tianjian, after leading his troops back to Shanhaiguan, he immediately ordered Lu Xiangsheng to stay in Shanhaiguan, and at the same time left Lu Xiangsheng with 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Dazhong army, so that he and Wu Xiang immediately recruited Minzhuang in Shanhaiguan, and went out of the customs to Ningyuan City under the escort of the Dazhong Army, as a labor to help Luo Li rush to repair Ningyuan City, while Wu Xiang continued to lead the old department and guard Shanhaiguan, on the one hand, he was responsible for ensuring the logistics route from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan, and on the other hand, he was in case Jiannu turned around and returned to Shanhaiguan again.

Xiao Tianjian also ordered Lu Xiangsheng and Wu Xiang to repair the Qiantunwei, Houtunwei, Gaotaibao and other acropolis destroyed by Jiannu outside Shanhaiguan before the winter, and on the road to Ningyuan City, establish a small military station every thirty miles, every two small military stations, establish a medium-sized military station, and send troops to garrison, as a key point to contact Ningyuan City to ensure the logistics supply line of Ningyuan Luoli's defenders, in short, everything must be completed before the winter, to ensure that after the winter, Luo Li's department can hoard enough materials in Ningyuan to survive the winter.

After the people who fled back from the customs learned the news, even though a large number of people applied for recruitment and brought various tools, they rushed out of the customs and rushed to Ningyuan.

Under the leadership of Xiao Tianjian, the news that the Dazhong Army defeated the Jiannu army at Shanhaiguan and annihilated tens of thousands of Jiannu horses immediately spread and spread throughout the entire Gyeonggi area, completely making the people in the Gyeonggi area put their hearts in their stomachs, and countless people rushed to celebrate each other, spreading the news to further places.

The people in the north of the Guannai are completely convinced, the Ming Dynasty has almost exhausted its national strength for so many years, and has invested nearly a million soldiers and horses on the battlefield outside the Guan, but there is nothing to do about Jiannu, and it is a falling flower and flowing water by Jiannu, but the Dazhong Army has just come north to Shanhaiguan, and it will beat Jiannu to a fart and urine, and also killed a large number of Jiannu army, and the Jiannu army that wants to break through the pass again will be hit back to the Guanwai, so that it will at least in a short period of time, and dare not covet the Guannei anymore.

Such news is undoubtedly an extremely exciting news for the people in the north who have been repeatedly harmed by the construction of slaves, and even some local gentry, after learning the news, have changed their attitude towards the Great Chinese Army and are no longer hostile to the Great Chinese Army.

In fact, the people think about the problem very simply, they just want a home where they can live in peace, they can live a stable life, and they are not terrible to be poor, at least they should not be frightened all day long, for fear that the slaves will break through, arrest them as slaves, and slaughter them.

Therefore, when the people who learned the news heard that the Emperor Dazhong led the troops back to Guannai at this time and began to march towards the Jingshi, not only did they flee or copy the enemy of the Dazhong Army, on the contrary, many people and even the gentry took the initiative to take out the wine and food at home and ran to the side of the road to greet the Dazhong Army and congratulate the Dazhong Army.

As Xiao Tianjian stopped the pursuit of the Jiannu army on the periphery of Jinzhou, and after the retreat of the troops, the Jiannu side did not do anything more, the Dazhong army gave up the pursuit of them, which has made them breathe a sigh of relief, although the rangers sent by Huang Taiji found out that after the Dazhong army collected the troops, it soon left less than 20,000 Dazhong troops in the area of Ningyuan City, and the rest returned to Shanhaiguan with the Dazhong Emperor, but Huang Taiji still did not give an order, and then took this opportunity to send troops to attack the Luo Li Department left behind.

When they went south, Hong Chengchou only relied on more than 20,000 officers and troops to defend Ningyuan City for nearly a month, and now after changing to the elite soldiers and horses of the Dazhong Army, he did not have the confidence that he could easily eat this Dazhong Army that remained in Ningyuan.

Now that the Dazhong Army can withdraw to Shanhaiguan, they are already thankful, so no one can afford to think about it, and continue to fight the Dazhong Army.

Everything returned to the original point, after paying a huge price, Jiannu once again returned to the place where they started, even Ningyuan, an important town that once made them gnash their teeth, they no longer wanted to take it again, so after learning that the main force of the Dazhong Army had returned to Shanhaiguan with Xiao Tianjian, Huang Taiji also issued an order, ordering Dolgon and Azig to stay in Jinzhou, and the rest of the Jiannu army began to return to the land of Liaodong and return to their lair to lick their wounds.

On the road to Beijing City, Xiao Tianjian looked at the people who welcomed them along the way, and couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. Now that he is here, and he has done it, the people are simple, of course they know who can give them a peaceful life, and now he is just repelling Jiannu, and has not completely cleaned up Jiannu, and the people are so supportive of them, what should he do next?

Looking at the strict military discipline of the Dazhong generals, marching in a neat queue on the official road leading to the Beijing Division, except for the scouts scattered in front of the front, no one in the whole army left the team to harass the local people, and now these people in the Gyeonggi area believe in the long-standing rumors that the Dazhong Army is the army that loves the people like children, so the last vigilance of the Dazhong Army in their hearts suddenly disappeared, and countless people stood on the side of the road, shouting loudly at these Dazhong soldiers and generals, and even some of them were young and strong, simply ran after the Dazhong Army, asking them if they would recruit soldiers, they wanted to join the Dazhong Army, and follow the Dazhong Army to kill the Tartars in the future.

For such a request, Xiao Tianjian naturally blossomed in his heart after hearing it, he really needs to recruit troops in the north now, at the moment the soldiers he leads, most of them are soldiers in the Central Plains and Shaanxi and Huguang, now it is summer, these soldiers have no problem, but the winter in the north came very early, and now there is something Xiaoice River era, compared to the north in later generations, those soldiers in Shanxi and Henan still have a certain adaptability to the weather here, but the soldiers in the area of Huguang South Zhili, I'm afraid it's hard to stand the winter here.

Therefore, Xiao Tianjian went north this time, and made up his mind to recruit a group of northern generals in the north, in addition to guarding the land of Gyeonggi, it will be used as the main force to attack Liaodong in the future.

So on the way, Xiao Tianjian immediately issued an order, ordering Liu Yaoben to be the main, and the elite soldiers will be selected to form a new training battalion, which is responsible for recruiting and training new soldiers, with an initial quota of 15,000 people, and the third guard division will be established in the future, temporarily responsible for the defense of the entire northern Great Wall, and will also be used as the main force to attack Liaodong in the future.

As for those young men who asked if they could serve as soldiers in the Dazhong Army, Xiao Tianjian ordered them to inform them that it was completely okay to let them go directly to Jizhou to join the army, where the newly established training battalion of the Third Guards Division would be responsible for the selection of recruitment.

These things were quickly implemented, and the formation of the training battalion of the third division of the guards was also extremely fast, at this time, Xiao Tianjian was followed by the elite of the large and medium army, and it was not a difficult thing to select the officers of the training battalion at all. This newly formed Third Guards Division will be able to have the ability to fight in real combat, and it will be put into use in a minimum of three months, depending on the speed of the supply of weapons in the back.
