941 Panic (5th Shift)

Towards the end of the evening, the mobilization in Liaoyang City had been completed. At the head of the city, there are many heads, especially on the southern side, which is like a great enemy. The Jianlu at the head of the city stared unblinkingly into the distance to the south.

The closed gates of the city would open from time to time, and the rumbling sound of subway hooves would rush out of the city and quickly move away, only the dust still filled the air.

In the lobby of the Liaoyang Shou General's Mansion, a group of people are still arguing here.

"Master, you must send troops immediately, it will be dangerous to Anshan Post Fort if it is too late!"

"Master, the enemy situation ahead is unknown, it is not appropriate to act rashly, and make a decision when the horse returns!"

"Shut up, you're delaying the military situation!"

"You just stopped, did you act rashly, and wanted to kill the clansmen?"

“……”

Amin on the main seat, look at this, look at that, I really can't make a decision in my heart.

To tell the truth, the strength in his hands now is his biggest reliance on the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the reason why Huang Taiji did not dare to move him when he was in Shenyang before. Amin knows this. Logically speaking, after receiving the military report, you should immediately rush to help. But he only sent a messenger to Shenyang, and in addition, he sent a horse to the south, although Shenyang City was reorganizing the army, but there was no next move. From this point of view, he still prefers to save his strength and wait for further information before making a decision.

A person in the debate suddenly turned the spearhead, gave up the opponent of the argument, and said directly to Amin: "The emperor has a lot of taboos against his master. If the master does not move, Anshan Post Fort will be lost, which will just give the emperor an excuse. Master, no matter what, you must have the posture you should have! ”

Hearing this, Amin was shocked and came back to his senses. This subordinate is right, if this is the case, Huang Taiji will use this as an excuse to say that his ability is not enough to lead the troops, and he is likely to take the opportunity to deprive himself of military power.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and slapped it violently, making a "pop" sound, and suddenly the lobby was silent.

Amin glanced down and shouted, "Ben Belle has decided to immediately send troops to reinforce Anshan Post Fort. ”

After finishing speaking, he began to assign tasks, the cavalry first, the foot soldiers followed, regardless of the hour, marched overnight, be sure to arrive before the fall of Anshan Post Fort, block the Ming army outside Anshan Post Fort, and then have this confidence, go to Huang Taiji to complain, ask other flags to also help defend.

With an order, the setting sun stained the western sky red, shining on Liaoyang City, as if splashed with a layer of blood. The gate was opened again, and a continuous stream of horsemen came out of the gate hole, carrying a cloud of dust, and went south again. After the cavalry, among the dust, a group of foot soldiers came out, eating the dust of the cavalry and hurrying away. The army marched, bringing up even more dust, which spread and almost enveloped the entire city of Liaoyang.

Amin did not personally lead the troops to the battle, but he also came to the arrow tower at the head of the south gate, also eating dust, watching the army reinforcing Anshan Post Fort go away, and at the same time thinking in his heart: Hongyi cannon is indeed powerful, I hope to hold on until the reinforcements arrive! Otherwise, without Anshan Post Fort, there will be no danger on the road to Liaoyang. The 50,000 Ming troops swarmed in, and the support army sent out by themselves was afraid that there would be danger.

Thinking like this, he felt that he couldn't delay any longer, so he wanted to turn his head and give an order, and he wanted to send another 800 miles of urgent messengers to Huang Taiji. But at this moment, a guard next to him suddenly shouted in surprise: "A tanma has returned!" ”

When Amin heard this, he quickly turned his head to look. Sure enough, in the distance to the south, a group of cavalry was galloping towards him. Behind them, more dust could be seen, and apparently more cavalry.

Suddenly, Amin's heart tightened, and he felt a little bad. When I looked closer, I got a little closer, and I could see the knights who rode back to Liaoyang, all of them panicked, and they seemed to be shouting something along the way. The reinforcements who were heading to Anshan Post Fort stopped one after another.

Don't...... Could it be that Anshan Post Fort has fallen? Amin thought to himself, feeling a little unimaginable. Considering the distance, if you speculate like this, wouldn't it take much time for the Ming army to knock down Anshan Post Fort?

Even if there is a Hongyi cannon, it will take time to attack the city, how can it be so fast? Amin's heart was full of doubts. His eyes were staring outside, but he was more and more convinced that the Anshan Post Fort was really defeated. Because he had ordered that if Anshan Post Fort was too late to rescue, the reinforcements sent out must return as soon as possible to avoid encountering 50,000 Ming troops on the road. At this time, he saw that when the galloping horses passed, those reinforcements first stopped, and then turned their heads and returned to Liaoyang.

It didn't take long for Tanma to pounce in front of Amin and plead breathlessly: "Master, the Ming army has captured Anshan Post Fort!" ”

"What, how can it be so fast?" Although Amin was prepared in his heart, he was still shocked and hurriedly asked, "What is the specific battle situation?" ”

These horses were sent to the Qing soldiers who had escaped from Anshan Post Fort, because they had two horses and two horses, so they could come back first to make a report. They didn't see the details of the battle, so they told Amin the news that they had heard from the defeated soldiers.

In the previous battle of Gaizhou, Amin did not go, and he didn't know much about the new army. However, when Tanma described that the new army used the Qi family army formation, Amin recalled the bloody battle of the Hunhe River back then. Back then, he was by Nurhachi's side, and he had seen the strength of the Qi family's army. When I heard that there was such an army in the Ming army, the shocked mood can be imagined.

Who knew that this was not over, and Tanma told him that the Ming army had one more firearm that had never been seen before, which could shoot without the use of an arquebus, and it rarely exploded, which was very powerful, and many Qing warriors fell under this firearm.

Amin was a little panicked when he heard this, and when he hurriedly asked the Ming army if he had the intention of pursuing him overnight, he didn't get an answer from Tanma. He didn't dare to bet on this, so he hurriedly sent an order to let the troops who went out of the city to reinforce return to Liaoyang City as soon as possible. At the same time, he immediately wrote a letter, preparing to send 800 li to Shenyang to ask for help again.

However, before he could send the letter, the messenger from Shenyang found him first. Amin learned about Shenyang's decision half a day later than Emperor Chongzhen, and was immediately overjoyed. Now it's okay, in the face of the invading Ming army, he doesn't have to carry it alone, but the entire Qing Dynasty. If the Ming army can be defeated, it may even be possible to turn defeat into victory and capture Ningyuan Jinzhou, which has never been taken before.

Hearing the news, Amin's mind began to spin again.
