Just when Azig and Song Jiaxing were leading the army in a desperate battle, they didn't know that just over thirty miles southwest of Jining, a cavalry had quietly stepped into the territory of Yanzhou Mansion!

Yes, it was Qin Mufeng who came!

Originally, in Qin Mufeng's view, a Song Jiaxing, coupled with the battle-hardened Yang Chengzu, the two of them held the entire Shandong without the slightest problem, but they didn't expect that they had just left Xuzhou and had just traveled more than 100 miles, and they heard about the war in Shandong one after another.

Qin Mufeng was shocked, even Song Jiaxing was defeated, others didn't know, Qin Mufeng was clear in his heart, Song Jiaxing was shrewd and thoughtful, and wanted him to suffer a big loss on the battlefield, but it was very rare, even if he was not the opponent of the Manchurian Tartars in a head-to-head battle, there would be no problem in holding on to the city, how could it be that within a few days, all the states and counties in Dongchang Mansion and Caozhou would be lost?

Qin Mufeng didn't dare to slack off, led a thousand elite cavalry to march straight to Jining, inquired carefully, and only then did he know that it was Azig who was killing in Tai'an Prefecture, full of old and young, almost slaughtered, and even the old and weak women and children were not spared, which provoked Song Jiaxing to lose his mind in anger, and led the army to Tai'an Prefecture to fight to the death, giving Azig the opportunity to attack Yuncheng and Caozhou, there is no way, the Manchurian army is too strong, no matter how great Song Jiaxing's ability is, he can only be a doppelganger.

Qin Mufeng gritted his steel teeth with hatred, a Tai'an Prefecture, nearly 100,000 people, was slaughtered like this, is it unbearable, even if he Qin Mufeng is in Yuncheng, he will definitely not be able to help but make a move, I am afraid that it will be even more tyrannical than Song Jiaxing, Azige's move is too ruthless.

When there were still dozens of miles away from Jining Mansion, Qin Mufeng was rewarded by the scouts, Azig led sixty or seventy thousand troops to besiege Jining Prefecture, and thirty or forty guns were mobilized to attack Jining alone, and the Tianwei army suffered a lot of casualties, so it could only resist hard in Jining Prefecture, behind it was Xuzhou, and Jining would definitely not allow the slightest mistake!

Qin Mufeng's head was buzzing, I will drop a day, sixty or seventy thousand troops, Song Jiaxing has a total of more than 20,000 troops, even if the Tianwei army can fight, now sitting in the lonely city, it can only sigh.

"Master Overseer, Master Overseer, what can I do about this? Even if we rush to the aid of Jining Prefecture, I'm afraid it won't help, we only have a thousand cavalry in our hands, and we just pounce on it like this, it's not enough to stuff people's teeth......"

Zhou An said astringently.

"Nonsense, don't you know how many pounds and taels you have?"

Qin Mufeng shouted angrily, Zhou An is right, a thousand cavalry in front of tens of thousands of Manchurian elite cavalry, it is not enough to see at all.

Zhou An scratched the back of his head and asked, "What about Yanzhou, what is the situation in Yanzhou now?" ”

The scout hurriedly replied: "Lord Qiyu, now Yanzhou has not been attacked by the Tartars for the time being, and now the Tartars have gathered all their forces in Jining, and if you want to complete the battle, take Jining first!" ”

Zhou An's eyes lit up, and he said urgently: "My lord, we still have three thousand brothers in Nanjing Right Town in Yanzhou, why don't we enter Yanzhou and cooperate with Lord Song to fight against the enemy?" ”

Qin Mufeng shook his head, and was about to speak, when in the distance, another fast horse galloped towards Qin Mufeng, jumped off the horse from a distance, and knelt down and said: "Lord Qiqi, the Dorobelenikan of Manchuria has captured the entire Qingzhou, and now it is moving rapidly in the direction of Yanzhou, and it is less than fifty miles away from Yanzhou!" ”

Qin Mufeng's head is bigger, and there is another elite of Manchuria, what is it, this still makes people live?

"How many troops does Nican have?"

"Lord Qiyu, Nikan's troops are not very large, only 10,000 cavalry ......"

The scout replied.

I rub! That's not much......

Qin Mu rolled his eyes in anger, Nikan's 10,000 troops plus Azig's 60,000 or 70,000 troops, that was close to 80,000, which was nearly three times the strength of Song Jiaxing's two towns! However, it is also true that compared to Azig's 60,000 troops, this 10,000 people is really not much......

Zhou An on the side was even more anxious, and said urgently: "Master Inspector, we must make a decision early, otherwise, we won't even be able to protect Yanzhou!" ”

Qin Mufeng roared angrily: "You shut up Lao Tzu!" ”

Zhou An was so frightened that he hurriedly closed his mouth, the adult was angry, when the adult was angry, if he went against his will, it would be a beating!

"What Yanzhou Mansion is still guarding now? What Yanzhou Mansion to keep? ”

Qin Mufeng shouted, "If Jining Prefecture does not fall, even if Yanzhou Mansion is lost, then the Qing army will not be able to move, and it will still be contained here, but if Jining Prefecture is lost, Yanzhou Mansion will not be able to withstand the little force!" The army of the Manchurian Tartars can drive straight in, through Xuzhou and Huai'an, all the way south, the imperial court behind us, but they don't even have the strength to fight back, do you think that the Manchurian Tartars can be compared with the two wastes of Ma Shiying and Zhang Xianzhong? ”

Zhou An shuddered fiercely, and finally knew why the adults were so angry, now it doesn't matter whether they defend Yanzhou or not, the important thing is whether Song Jiaxing in Jining can support it, how long can it be supported, once Song Jiaxing is defeated and Jining falls, at that time, tens of thousands of Manchurian Tartars can even hit the city of Nanjing in one go!

"So, what do we do?"

Qin Mufeng's eyes were on fire, his mind was no longer in the south, the south was in danger, there was the emperor in charge, there were Cha Xuan and Li Yan to give advice, and there was still no big problem to support it for three months and a half, after all, from Jining to Nanjing, but there is still a distance of nearly 1,000 miles, if the emperor is helpless, then it is not the emperor, and now the real danger lies in Caozhou.

Who knows whether Azig's desperate siege of Jining is to drive straight into Jiangnan, or to kill Song Jiaxing, and then pass through Caozhou into the hinterland of Henan, cutting off Xu Yifan's back road? If it is for the latter, then Xu Yifan is really dangerous, facing the front and rear attacks, the back road is broken, and he will definitely lose!

"What to do? What to do? ”

Qin Mufeng's mind was running rapidly, thinking about the strategy of breaking the enemy, not to say that it was to break the enemy, but how to maintain the balance in front of him, completely confine the Manchurian Tartars to Shandong, and not give them the opportunity to go south or west!

"Hoo ......"

After a long time, Qin Mufeng let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Zhou An, order someone to immediately listen to the truth in the direction of Caozhou, one person and two horses, and release all the scouts in his hands, I want to get the detailed information of Caozhou within two days, and immediately send an order to Xu Qing in Yanzhou, ordering Xu Qing to lead three thousand soldiers to abandon Yanzhou Mansion, withdraw into Weishan Lake, and collect the surrounding ships, no matter what, as long as Song Jiaxing's army does not withdraw from Jining, then I must control the Weishan Lake waterway in my own hands, once Jining City falls, Make every effort to accept the withdrawal of the Tianwei army into Weishan Lake, continue to attract the main force of the Qing army, lower than the Qing army to the south, and at the same time attract the attention of the Qing army, so that their main force cannot advance westward! ”
