After the siege entered the fourth day, Abatai could not hold his breath and sent his troops to take a circle under the castle, where they were greeted by rifles and buckshot, but there was no sign of panic in the defenders because they had run out of food. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Abatai couldn't sit still, he didn't have much time to spend on this little castle, and every day of delay he was guilty of disobeying military orders was aggravated. But if you just walk away like this, not only will the people in front of you die in vain, but there will be no achievements that can be used to invite credit to offset the guilt, and everything you have done these days will be wasted.

This withdrawal is not, and it is not withdrawn, and Abatai is in a dilemma.

When the siege entered the sixth day, Xia Nan took Yang Youji and some soldiers of the Guards Battalion to Dengzhou first on two clippers and landed on the shore in Shuicheng.

When Xie Sanbin heard the news, he personally came to greet him, and complained: "Virtuous son-in-law, you are finally here, the tens of thousands of Tartar troops are not leaving in Dengzhou, and the people are panicking!" ”

Xia Nan soothed: "Father-in-law, be relieved, I will bring a large army here, and it won't be long before all of them arrive." What about Mr. Lin? Did something happen to him? ”

"He's trapped in the barracks, but according to the spies, the Tartars shouldn't have been breached yet, and they're safe for the time being."

Xia Nan first breathed a sigh of relief, it was okay if people were fine, and then thought of something, frowned and asked, "I have been besieged for a few days, is there enough food?" ”

"Please rest assured, Mr. Lin seems to be an unpredictable prophet, as if he knew that the Tartars were coming, he prepared a month's rations in advance and transported them into the barracks, I'm afraid they are not hungry yet, and the Tartars' food will be eaten first."

Xia Nan was completely relieved when he heard this. There are soldiers and food, and they rely on the fortress for defense, and it is not a big problem to resist the attack of the Tartars. After experiencing the First World War, he was very confident in the fortress designed by Lin Weiye.

He beckoned behind him and motioned for Wang Qinian to come over.

"The Tartars are besieging the military camp, Dengzhou is safe for the time being, you take people out of the city, find a way to find out the intentions and movements of the Tartars, and we can make the next arrangements."

Wang Qinian nodded: "My subordinates understand, and they will take people out of the city immediately." ”

Xia Nan turned to Xie Sanbin again: "Father-in-law, please give an order, tomorrow let the civil and military officials of Dengzhou City come to the governor's yamen to discuss how to retreat from the enemy." The main force of the Qiong Navy has not yet arrived, and the officials at all levels in Dengzhou must do something, even if they cannot expel the Tartars immediately, they must also make the Tartars live in peace, so as not to be impeached for the crime of passively avoiding war. ”

Xie Sanbin knew that this son-in-law was very good at training and fighting, and it was best for him to preside over the situation, so he agreed. Moreover, under the premise that the Qiong Navy arrived one after another, and the safety of his life was guaranteed, it became necessary to avoid political risks, after all, as the governor of Denglai, he could easily attract impeachment by watching the Tartars wreak havoc in the territory under his jurisdiction.

Wang Qinian was very efficient, and he came to report that night.

"General, I sent people to mix into the local people's villages, and happened to meet the Han army sent by the Tartars to collect grain, and listened to their conversation and learned that this Tartar army did not come to attack Shandong, but only grabbed a handful in Jinan Mansion after fighting Cangzhou, and as a result, there was a conflict with the cavalry battalion sent by the independent regiment to suppress bandits, and hundreds of real Tartars died. It is said that Baylor, who led the troops, was also in a dilemma, unable to fight and defeated, unwilling to retreat, and almost robbed the nearby grain, and according to the military order, he should have met with Azig in Shunyi as early as ten days ago......"

"I see." Xia Nan nodded, he vaguely remembered that in the original time and space, there was no relevant record of Jin entering Shandong at this time node, and the official invasion of Shandong by the Later Jin army was after Huang Taiji called the emperor "Qing". This attack by Abatai was just an accidental event, and it seems that his butterfly wings had little impact on Houjin.

Now that he knew the motivation and current mentality of this army's siege of the Dengzhou military camp, Xia Nan knew what to do.

The governor personally ordered to discuss how to retreat from the enemy, and no one dared to disobey, and the next day, officials of all sizes gathered at the governor's yamen.

Xie Sanbin introduced concisely: "This is the chief soldier of Qionghai Town, Pingnan Bo Xia Nan, who once participated in the counterinsurgency in Shandong, and now I heard that the Tartars invaded Denglai, and I brought troops to help." Now that the Tartars are entrenched outside the city, the Dengzhou general army is extremely manpowered, and the military camp outside the city is besieged, and there are no generals available in the city, and there are no soldiers to send. ”

It was unheard of for a foreign military general to preside over the defense of Denglai, and the officials were a little surprised, and they inevitably whispered. A well-informed person whispered to his colleagues: "This Ping Nanbo is the fast son-in-law of Futai, and he fought in the south and the north, with outstanding merits, and was knighted for his military exploits, and the limelight overshadowed the Guanning army in Liaodong, and besides, we don't have a good army in Dengzhou now, so we can only let foreign monks recite scriptures......

The rest of the officials suddenly realized that they were Futai's sons-in-law, they were all members of the family, and they were also the chief soldiers and the earls with outstanding military achievements, which was understandable.

Xia Nan was also not polite, and said loudly: "I have already found out some news about this Tartar army. They came to Dengzhou only to take revenge on the soldiers and horses under the command of the Dengzhou General Army, not to attack the city and plunder the land, so the Laizhou City along the way and the Dengzhou City where we were located were safe and sound. At present, this Tartar army is facing two problems: first, their mission to enter the army is to plunder Dingkou, livestock and money in the area of Beizhili, and originally to join the commander of the army Azig in the Shunyi area, besiege the military camp, which has far exceeded their expectations, and now it is a dilemma; Second, they have nearly 20,000 horses, people eat horses and chew, and the daily consumption of grain is very huge, and the dry food they carry has long been eaten, and now even the villages within a radius of a few miles have been robbed, and if they want to grab food, they have to walk more than ten or twenty miles back and forth, and the pressure is very great. Therefore, I have an idea, which is to clear the field and let the Tartars retreat without a fight. ”

Solid wall clearing? The officials looked at each other, and they had a sense of foreboding in their hearts.

Sure enough, Xia Nan proposed specific operation methods, which shocked these officials.

"As long as the wheat is harvested for twenty miles around the Tartar and transported to the nearby state and county for storage, it is impossible for the Tartar to go back and forth forty miles a day to attack the county seat to obtain food, and the siege of the military camp will be meaningless. Coupled with the pressure of the military order to the north, the Tartars had only one choice - to withdraw their troops! Xia Nan explained, "But the common people themselves will not harvest wheat, and the states and counties will not vacate warehouses for the people to store grain, so it is necessary for qualified officials to rush to various places with Futai warrants to urge the people to collect grain and coordinate the grain storage in various states and counties -- I think you know what I mean, this task has to fall on you!" ”
