When Hong Chengchou said that when it came to serving the country with death, Qiu Minyang, Wang Tingchen, Deputy Chief Soldier Jiang Zhu, Yao Xun, Zhu Wende, etc., all nodded yes, and they were also ready to die.

Hong Chengchou took them all the way to inspect again, and finally arrived at Xia Chengde's garrison area. The most critical thing is Xia Chengde's area, Xia Chengde has been in contact with the Manchus a lot, if he can stop the contact with the Manchus, stabilize him for a period of time. Maybe he will be able to survive until Zhang Biwu's reinforcements arrive, as long as there are reinforcements, Xia Chengde, who wants to surrender, will change his mind!

Hong Chengchou thought so, if he went to Xia Chengde in person, it would be very dangerous, I don't know if Xia Chengde had defected, he glanced at Xia Chengde's station, and finally decided to let the envoy go to Xia Chengde, hoping that Xia Chengde would not surrender to the Manchus.

After the inspection, Hong Chengchou went back to rest, and Cao Bianjiao, who was in a high fever, also went back to rest, after all, his head was very dizzy! Just now he accompanied Hong Chengchou to inspect or he was fighting his spirits.

After Hong Chengchou and the others finished their inspections, Xia Chengde and Jiang Fei knew that the time had come! They immediately released three arrows to get in touch with the Qing army outside the city.

The agreed opening time was almost up, and the Qing army outside the city had already finished arraying, and they were waiting to enter Songshan City.

Not long after the arrow was released, Xia Chengde asked the city gate to be opened, and he kept waving his hand at the head of the city, signaling the Qing soldiers to enter the city quickly.

Xia Chengde's personal soldiers on both sides of the city gate also waved their hands to let the Qing soldiers enter the city earlier. The Qing soldiers did not wait for orders, and quickly entered one by one, and the loss of Matsuyama Castle was a foregone conclusion!

Huang Taiji saw that his men and horses were put into the city by Xia Chengde, he nodded very satisfied, and the next thing he had to do was to catch Hong Chengchou, and he must not let Hong Chengchou die.

For this reason, Huang Taiji once held a meeting in front of the emperor to discuss how to break the city and how to capture Hong Chengchou alive. Hong Chengchou's portrait has already been displayed throughout the army, so that every child of the Eight Banners can recognize Hong Chengchou's appearance, if anyone dares to hurt Hong Chengchou, he will be executed immediately, and his family will be clothed. If you can capture Hong Chengchou alive, the official will be promoted to the third level, and the reward will be 1,000 taels of silver.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was newly built, and the silver reward was very small, and the general silver reward was mostly as an honor, like some ministers, the reward was dozens of taels, and the hundred taels were less. Therefore, Huang Taiji offered a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, which is definitely a heavy reward. The entire Eight Banners Army was shaken! can know how important Hong Chengchou should be in their emperor's heart!

This is a big shock to the entire Eight Banners disciples, of course they want to capture Hong Chengchou alive, and no one dares to do anything to Hong Chengchou.

Huang Taiji is to sit in the imperial tent and let people report the news quickly. Huang Taiji thought about a lot of things in his heart.

As soon as Songshan is broken, Zu Dashou must not be able to hold on, only surrender and Jinzhou will be regained, then the defense system of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty will all collapse! The war situation against Ming is becoming more favorable and clearer!

Next, you can move the army to attack Zhang Biwu who is deep into your own border and kill Zhang Biwu! It can be regarded as a duty that can wash the Eight Banners Army from being defeated by him repeatedly!

Huang Taiji thought that he had been fighting with the Ming army for many years, and only in the battle with Zhang Biwu, he always suffered a big loss in front of Zhang Biwu! This time, we will definitely be able to get rid of this fierce enemy with the momentum of victory!

Huang Taiji thought again, will Hong Chengchou be like Zhang Chun after he was captured? How can I persuade him to surrender? If you can't persuade him, everything you have done will be in vain! Right! It is necessary to persuade him to surrender! But how is it good?

Although all this is difficult, Huang Taiji feels that this risk must be taken! It's about the Qing Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains!

Fan Wencheng was beside him, he had seen through Huang Taiji's heart, but he couldn't talk to death now, he had to see Hong Chengchou in person before he could determine how to persuade Hong Chengchou.

"Report!" Suddenly, a Hou Qi came to report quickly, and Huang Taiji stood up and asked, "How is it?" Did you capture Hong Chengchou? ”

Hou Qi replied: "It is reported that abandoned warships have been found two hundred miles west of the Sancha River!" ”

"What? Discover the warship! Huang Taiji couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Abandoned warship? What's going on? Hou Qi also shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do!" ”

Huang Taiji's face was solemn, he looked at the map, and said, "Didn't Zhang Biwu go east?" Didn't he burn the ship to wreck? Didn't he ...... Yes! ”

This time, he felt a sense of foreboding! And at this time, another Hou rider came quickly! Tell him the most urgent military situation!

"Report! Oh no! Our rangers have spotted an enemy force in the Youtun area! This enemy army is coming quickly towards Matsuyama! What Hou Qi said shocked everyone!

"What!" Huang Taiji is also unexpected! It seems that Zhang Biwu's army should reach Songshan! Will this change the tide of Songjin's battle?

Huang Taiji was furious and asked, "Why didn't you report to me earlier?" Hou Qi replied: "Your Majesty, as soon as the enemy army encounters our scattered rangers, they will hunt and kill them, so when they left Youtun and marched towards Songshan, some rangers found out and came to report to the emperor!" ”

Huang Taiji thought about it, he understood that this army must have come to the territory of Songshan, and it would soon be able to launch an attack on Songshan!

Another Hou cavalry broke into the imperial tent, and immediately knelt down to report to Huang Taiji, and Hou Qi reported the battle situation in Songshan: "Your Majesty, our army has broken into Songshan and is fighting fiercely with the enemy!" Please don't worry, the emperor, the overall situation of Matsuyama has been decided! ”

Huang Taiji didn't have much interest in Songshan anymore, what he was thinking about now was this strange army that had hidden everything! Huang Taiji understands everything! He's been tricked!

He shouted: "Immediately order to draw out a partial division to deploy in the direction of Youtun, and we must block this army for me!" ”

Fan Wencheng said: "There is also an order for the two yellow flags to send elite soldiers to escort them!" "Yes! If the Ming army really attacked Zhang Biwu, the battle situation would be very different.

Huang Taiji said: "Zhang Biwu! You bastard! You must have let some of the ships go first! Then hide the ship, and make me think you've burned it all! Where the hell did you hide your ship? I can't find out! Then you pretended to go all the way north, so as to shake the appearance of my Qing Dynasty, let me fortify in Gaizhou and other places, and you attacked the city unfavorably, so that it was east to Korea, and wanted to let North Korea return to the Ming Kingdom by breaking away from my Great Qing Dynasty and serving the Ming Dynasty. ”

"That's why I don't think you're capable! I can ignore you! I pay full attention to Songjin. Hou Qi and others have been greatly reduced, and the Han people in my territory have seen it, so they may not be able to report it! I just was so negligent! will give you a chance! ”

With a "snap", the desk in front of Huang Taiji was overturned, and he shouted ventingly: "Damn! ”

All the people knelt down, and no one dared to make a sound! Their whole bodies were trembling. Only Fan Wencheng said: "Your Majesty, although Zhang Biwu is playing with his cleverness and making him proud for the time being, but we have an army of more than 100,000 people, and Songshan will be broken!" Even if Zhang Biwu comes, he won't be able to do anything! ”

Huang Taiji came to his senses and said, "Yes! Fan Zhangjing is right! I have more than 100,000 troops in Songshan, why am I afraid? I think Zhang Biwu must have divided his troops in order to confuse me, although it is not clear how many men he divided to pretend to go to North Korea. So our army is still in the ascendancy! Eliminate Hong Chengchou in Songshan, and then destroy you Zhang Biwu! There's no need to make a big deal about it in the future! ”

Fan Wencheng smiled, not surprised, this is his master, a generation of Ming Jun!

Huang Taiji ordered: "I will order the soldiers who attack Songshan, no matter what happens, they have only one thing, rise up and break through Songshan!" Retreat, cower, and behead! ”

"Wow!" The herald quickly went to deliver the order.

Huang Taiji looked in the direction of Songshan, he looked in the direction of Youtun, and then said: "I want to personally supervise the teacher in the most conspicuous place!" Let the soldiers know that I am with them! ”

Huang Taiji's actions undoubtedly added a lot of trouble to Zhang Biwu.

At this time, as soon as Zhang Biwu came to the outermost part of Songshan, he just let the horses rest for a while and immediately launched an attack, and if he rested for too long, the Qing soldiers would find out, as long as he launched an attack outside, the Ming army in Songshan would notice the arrival of reinforcements, and he would be able to strengthen the confidence of the Ming army.

Even if you can't defeat the Qing army, as long as you can rescue Hong Chengchou, no! If Hong Chengchou can't be rescued, then some important Ming generals can also be rescued, and if they can not die, it is very important for the future resistance to the Qing army to enter the Central Plains.

Zhang Biwu looked at the lax Qing army, what he thought in his heart was that he first pretended to burn all the warships, but in fact, he did not burn some important warships, but instead ordered the two brothers Zhao Dayong and Zhao Dawei to immediately drive away some large warships and let these warships anchor in some places.

Since Zhang Pan had fought in these places before, he was very familiar with the terrain here, and after mooring, calculating the time, when Zhang Biwu led his army to Gaizhou City, the ships immediately sailed to Lianyun Island, and then quickly waited for Zhang Biwu to divide his army.

Zhang Pan marched east with 2,000 men, pretending to go to Korea to meet with North Korea, and to draw North Korea back to the side of the Ming Dynasty, so as to divert the attention of the Qing Dynasty.

And Zhang Biwu quickly led 7,000 people to board the warship, and then took the sea route carried by the warship, after all, there was not much attention on the sea route, and the Qing army would only have Hou cavalry in Gaizhou and Yaozhou to Songshan, especially in Gaizhou in the past, there were many Hou cavalry.

As long as you avoid the eyes and ears of the Qing army and take the waterway close, of course, you can't directly approach the coastline around Xingshan, where there are Qing army batteries along the coast, and there are some Qing army warships patrolling from time to time. As long as you get to the Sancha River, you will be safe.
