But it is impossible for Li Zixiao to stop in Phoenix, just waiting for news from Luo Chao.

Li Zixiao immediately ordered to leave a thousand soldiers to garrison Phoenix City, and the army continued to move north, sweeping some Tartar cities.

Whenever they encountered the villages and castles where the Tartars lived, they all implemented a policy, and all the money, grain, and livestock were plundered, the women were taken away, the men were killed, the fields were destroyed, and the castles and villages were burned.

Huang Taiji probably hasn't received the news of Tumen Fei Dongying, if Huang Taiji knows, Li Zixiao's actions in Zhenjiang will inevitably be faint.

Li Zixiao is simply shaking, the national capital of Tartar!

Soon, the messenger sent by Tumen Fei Dongying to Quang Ninh to meet Huang Taiji also arrived a few days later.

Peng!

After reading the letter sent by Tumen Fei Dongying, Huang Taiji was angry on the spot, drew his sword, and cut off a chair.

Immediately, Huang Taiji's face was gloomy, and he ordered: "Summons the order to Ji'er Harang, immediately launch a general attack, you can't wait any longer." ”

Then, Huang Taiji looked at the messenger sent by Tumen Fei Dongying below, and said in a deep voice: "You go back and tell Tumen Fei Dongying that he must contain Li Zixiao's Ming army."

Delay their attack, and at the same time come down to the castle north of Lianshan Pass, and all enter a state of alert to guard against the attack of the Ming army.

Tell Tumen Fei Dongying that as long as he can hold off the Ming army for a month, after he returns, I will give him a yellow coat, reward his people with 1,000 taels of gold, 5,000 slaves, and 10,000 acres of fertile land. ”

This time, Huang Taiji also gave a heavy reward, he didn't expect the situation in Zhenjiang to deteriorate so quickly.

It's only been less than a month, and Li Zixiao not only annihilated Ilgen Jue Luo Doro's department, but also defeated Phoenix City.

The Tumen Fei Dong Battalion, which had just arrived there, was also hit hard, and in the letter Tumen Fei Dong Camp claimed that they would not be able to hold out for long without reinforcements.

It's just that at this time, where is Huang Taiji going, go to mobilize reinforcements for Tumen Feidongying!

At this time, all the armies of the entire Tartars, eighty percent gathered on the Songjin front, and the remaining two adult horses were distributed in the Shengjing base camp, and Gaizhou was still gratifying with 10,000 horses.

Behind a huge Tartar, Huang Taiji could no longer find other formed teams.

Otherwise, Huang Taiji would only have to use the thousands of men and horses who stayed in Shengjing, but that would be impossible at all.

Even if Li Zixiao was in the rear and knocked down half of the Tartars, Huang Taiji would not use the men and horses who stayed in Shengjing.

Because, the team he stayed behind in Shengjing had only one mission, that is, to guard Shengjing, the Tatars' nest, and they wouldn't care about the rest.

Therefore, at this time, Huang Taiji gritted his teeth with hatred in the face of Li Zixiao who appeared in the Zhenjiang area, but there was nothing he could do about him.

Li Zixiao chose the timing of crossing the sea to march into Zhenjiang Fort, and he controlled it too well.

If Huang Taiji gave up attacking Jinzhou and returned to the rescue, it would be impossible for Huang Taiji to accept it.

Now, Huang Taiji has made the worst plan in his heart, and he doesn't want more than a dozen cities at the eastern end of Liaodong.

As long as they are allowed to defeat the main force of Hong Chengchou's Ming army in Jinzhou, when they return to the division, even if Li Zixiao lays down more cities, they will eventually be able to recover them.

But even if Huang Taiji had such a ruthless plan in his heart, he still ordered that Jilharang, who commanded the 100,000-strong army of the Tartars at the front, immediately launch a general attack on the Ming army.

Originally, Huang Taiji planned to wait a little longer to make their planning more meticulous and ensure that this battle was foolproof, but now he couldn't wait.

"What does the emperor mean? How can we launch a general offensive at this time, we are not completely ready. ”

On the front line of Songshan, after receiving the order from Huang Taiji, Zilharang was silent in thought, while Dolgon, who had arrived, roared dissatisfiedly.

"That's right, recently, we have been on the Songshan front, and the Ming army has fought several times, but we haven't made any gains, and the firearms in the hands of the Ming army at this time are much more powerful than before.

This is not a good time to launch a general attack, should we react to the emperor and wait for a while. ”

Dodor echoed Dorgon's words and said to Zilharan.

"Since the emperor issued this order, something must have happened, if my expectations are correct, it is estimated that something happened in Zhenjiang again."

Zilharang's face was solemn, and he didn't care about Dolgon's and Duoduo's complaints, and said in a deep voice.

As soon as Zilharang's words were finished, the faces of Dorgon and Duoduo also changed, and the two of them thought about it carefully, and what Zilharang said might really be right.

"This Li Zixiao, sooner or later I will slaughter him with my own hands." Duoduo hated Li Zixiao to death and said coldly.

"Okay, don't talk about so much uselessness now, since the emperor has given the order for a full-scale attack, we can only carry it out.

Dolgon, Duoduo, both of you shall rush back to your ranks at once, and prepare for the day, and at noon tomorrow I will order a full-scale attack on Jinzhou and Songshan.

At that time, Hong Chengchou will no longer be able to calm down, and the Ming army that should let him stay in Ningyuan City will be dispatched.

If you want to fight fiercely on the front line, I will send someone to send an order to Azig and ask him to find an opportunity to attack Tashan and cut off the retreat of the Ming army. ”

Zilharan said calmly to Dorgon and Dodor.

"Yes, we'll go back and make arrangements."

Dorgon and Dodor had no choice but to return to their ranks and prepare for the attack.

On June 11, the 14th year of Chongzhen, on this day, tens of thousands of Tartars who had originally besieged Jinzhou suddenly launched a full-scale offensive against Jinzhou City.

Boom Boom!

Hundreds of Hongyi cannons were set out outside Jinzhou City, and they bombarded Jinzhou City, and countless Tartar soldiers began to carry cloud ladders and push cloud carts to storm Jinzhou City.

Before that, the Tartars spent nearly a year gradually encroaching on the outside of Jinzhou, and had occupied the outer city of Jinzhou, and occupied all the other castles around Jinzhou.

By this time, Jinzhou City, which was guarded by Zu Dashou, had become a lonely city surrounded by Tartars.

The only Ming army city closest to Jinzhou City was Songshan Castle more than ten miles away, and Songshan Fort at this time was also attacked by Dolgon and Duoduo at the same time.

The Tartars suddenly launched a strong attack on Jinzhou, listening to the earth-shaking sound outside the city, and the sound of cannons that did not stop for half a day, Zu Dashou in the city was terrified.

He felt that this time the Tartars were really here, and it was no longer the small fight before, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly sent someone to break through and ask Hong Chengchou in Ningyuan for help.

During this time, Hong Chengchou still kept the main force of the Ming army in Ningyuan City, but he continued to send men and horses towards Songshan and Xingshan in the north.

The Ming army and the Tartars had already fought more than a dozen battles in the area of Songshan and Xingshan, but they were basically tentative attacks, and no real decisive battle broke out.

During this time, Chongzhen and the Imperial Court Military Department kept sending people to Ningyuan to urge Hong Chengchou to march and ask him to fight quickly, but he has been pushed by Hong Chengchou until now.

Hong Chengchou himself is also preparing, he does not have the confidence to march now, he can defeat the Tartars, even in the face of Chongzhen's urging, this time he resisted.

"What? Did the Tartars launch a strong attack on Jinzhou and Songshan? Hong Chengchou exclaimed.

As a result, on this day, when Hong Chengchou was in Ningyuan City, he received the 100,000 urgent requests for help from Jinzhou Zu Dashou and the Songshan Shou General one after another, but he was also unexpected.

"Governor Hong, the news is right, the Tartars have really launched a strong attack on Jinzhou and Songshan? Or is it that it was Zu Dashou who exaggerated the offensive of the Tartars. ”

After Wu Sangui below heard Hong Chengchou's words, his eyes flickered, and he said to Hong Chengchou.

Before Zu Dashou, he had already sent 100,000 people to Hong Chengchou for help.

But in fact, every time it is not the Tartars who bluff, so they are suspicious, it is Zu Dashou who makes excuses and asks Hong Chengchou for soldiers and horses, money and food.

Therefore, when Wu Sangui said this at this time, even Hong Chengchou was a little skeptical, whether it was Zu Dashou who was 'moaning without illness' this time.

Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment and said, "Immediately send someone north to verify the battle situation and see if the Tartars have really launched a strong attack."

At the same time, he ordered Wang Tingchen and Cao Bianjiao, who were still in Ningyuan City, to immediately rectify their men and horses and be ready to fight at any time. ”

Then, Hong Chengchou looked at Wu Sangui again and said in a deep voice: "General Wu, your Guanning Iron Cavalry must also be ready at any time and ready to fight. ”

"Well, don't worry, the governor understands the lowly position, so he will retire first and go down to rectify the soldiers and horses." Wu Sangui replied and immediately retreated.

Soon, Hong Chengchou was confirmed that this time Zu Dashou really did not exaggerate the war, and the Tartars really launched a strong attack on Jinzhou City.

In a whole day of strong attack, the Tartars invested more than 10,000 horses and hundreds of artillery pieces to carry out four waves of strong attacks on Jinzhou City.

At one time, the soldiers of the Tartars were all killed on the city wall of Jinzhou, and Zu Dashou had to come to the city wall in person to boost morale and command the battle before the four waves of Tartar attacks were repulsed.

"Governor Hong, you have to come quickly, otherwise Jinzhou City will be saved." Zu Dashou shouted in his heart.

In fact, with the nearly 10,000 horses in Jinzhou City, coupled with Jinzhou's strong city defense, it is very difficult for the Tartars to capture Jinzhou, even if they put on such a big battle.

Zu Dashou has been in Jinzhou City for several years, how can it be so easy to fight.

In fact, the Tartars didn't plan to really storm Jinzhou, and what Huang Taiji used this time was the tactic of encircling the point to send reinforcements.

He believed that as long as he put on a posture of attacking Jinzhou and Songshan, Hong Chengchou of Ningyuan City would definitely not be able to sit still.

Because, the strategic location of Jinzhou City and Songshan Fort is too important, and Hong Chengchou will never sit idly by and watch them fall to the Tartars.

Immediately, Hong Chengchou officially swore in Ningyuan City, and led the main force of the Ming army to officially go north to rescue Jinzhou and Songshan, and at the same time fight against the Tartars.

In this time and space, because Li Zixiao made a big fuss in Zhenjiang, the Tartars launched a full-scale offensive in advance.

This forced Hong Chengchou, more than a month earlier than in history, to officially swear from Ningyuan and prepare for a decisive battle with the Tartars.

Li Zixiao probably didn't know it yet, because he was making a lot of noise on the Zhenjiang side, forcing Huang Taiji to launch a full-scale attack in advance.

And this Li Zixiao is waiting for Luo Chao's news on the one hand, and on the other hand, in the past few days, he has led his men and horses to sweep several villages around Phoenix City.

As the easternmost and most important castle of the Tartars in Liaodong, Phoenix City is gathered in Phoenix City, and the surrounding Tartar people are also the most numerous in this area.

And now, these Tartar tribes have become the target of Li Zixiao's attack.

On the other side, the cavalry of the Flying Eagle Battalion led by Luo Chao, after four days of tracking, finally bit the Tartar cavalry of the Tumen Feidong Battalion.

………………………………

Thundered!

In the vast land outside the pass, two cavalry teams were chasing, and it was the Flying Eagle Cavalry led by Luo Chao who was chasing a Tartar cavalry of hundreds of people.

Tumen Fei Dongying had limited men and horses, so he had to make a decision to divide the troops, and now this Tartar cavalry of more than 500 people was targeted by Luo Chao.

Faced with the cavalry of the Eagle Battalion, which was several times its own, this Tartar had no choice but to flee.

And Luo Chao took the cavalry of the Flying Eagle Battalion to pursue this Tartar for half a day, but he never caught up.

"General, why hasn't the main Tartar force appeared yet?" A personal guard followed Luo Chao and asked uneasily.

"It will appear, I have a hunch."

Luo Chao's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice.

Luo Chao was also gambling, he bet that Tumen Fei Dongying would never be, and then looked at the five hundred Tartar cavalry, which were eaten by them.

Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for Tumen Feidong Camp to match Luo Chao's Flying Eagle Battalion, Luo Chao believed that at this time, the Tartars should take this opportunity to ambush them!

This was also the only chance for the Tumen Feidong battalion to defeat the Flying Eagle Battalion, otherwise if the two sides faced off, the Flying Eagle Battalion would have a higher chance of winning than the Tartar cavalry.

Even, Luo Chao had a guess in his heart at this time, and the five hundred Tartar cavalry in front of him was very likely to be the bait deliberately released by Tumen Fei Dongying to lure them.

But Luo Chao still chose to chase all the way down, why didn't he want to do it.

Since the Tartars were too vigilant, it was difficult for Luo Chao to set up an ambush to deal with the Tartar cavalry.

Then he took the initiative to enter the urn, so that Luo Chao could find the main force of the Tartar cavalry.

He believed that at this time, the Tartars were also trying their best to annihilate the cavalry of their Flying Eagle Battalion.

Because, at this time, Tumen Feidong Battalion has also found out that there are not many cavalry in the White Dragon Army, and the only cavalry that is formed is the Flying Eagle Battalion commanded by Luo Chao.

As long as Tumen Feidongying can annihilate the Flying Eagle Battalion, then he can continue to guerrilla in the Zhenjiang area and contain Li Zixiao's men.

Of course, Luo Chao is also taking a very big risk by doing this, and if they are not careful, they really have the possibility of being defeated by the Tartars.

Therefore, during the pursuit, Luo Chao also paid attention to the surrounding terrain.

If it is too dangerous and the terrain on his side is unfavorable, he will choose to give up the pursuit.

After all, no matter how Luo Chao calculates, he still wants to win this battle.

But if the terrain chosen by the Tartars is too unfavorable for them to have any hope of winning, of course he will not fight this battle.

If the terrain is not too bad for him, Luo Chao will choose to fight a decisive battle with the Tartar cavalry.

This time, Luo Chao also prepared a few hole cards to use to deal with Tartar.

Otherwise, how dare he prepare to deliberately fall into a scheme, in order to lure out the main force of the Tartar cavalry led by Tumen Feidongying, and come out to fight him!
