The setting sun was as bloody as the sky. Apart from the Ming army standing proudly on the battlefield outside the Zijing Pass, there were no signs of any standing Mongolian soldiers.

However, the joy of victory had not lasted for long, Yu Qian saw the messenger coming from Liaodong and told the general Cao Yi that more than 40,000 troops had been surrounded by the main Mongolian forces in Ningyuan Acropolis, and the situation was extremely critical.

This news made Yu Qian think of Chen Yichen's warning before the war. As expected, the Grand Tutor also first set his target in Liaodong. He wanted to open up the entire northern border of the Ming Dynasty and make a comeback with the momentum of Mount Tai!

But Yu Qian also does not regret his decision. If Chen Yichen is allowed to draw the troops of the Fujian Navy, there will be no victory in defeating the Tatars Palace Army now. Many things have gains and losses, and it depends on the choice.

Compared with the bitter and cold places in Liaodong, Yu Qian chose to protect the capital without any mistakes.

"Wu Qingbo, Liaodong is in an emergency. If you are asked to lead your troops to help, how many days will it take to arrive?"

Shi Heng's courage at this stop has completely won Yu Qian's trust. If he wants to break the crisis in Liaodong, there is no doubt that such a mighty general needs to complete it.

"I will definitely arrive within ten days!"

From Zijing Pass to Juyong Pass and then to Ningyuan Aerospace City, the straight-line distance is hundreds of kilometers. However, after this pursuit battle, a lot of war horse supplies of the Mongols were seized, and an elite army could be organized to rush to rescue quickly.

In addition, Chen Yichen's troops rushed to reinforcements and the Liaodong Army headquarters may not be unable to fight.

Shi Heng was full of confidence, but Wang Ji, the boss of Jingyuan, shook his head and said, "During the pursuit for several days and this battle, the soldiers are actually at the end of their strength. After cleaning the battlefield, they will immediately fall into a period of fatigue."

"If I don't have a good rest for a few days and forcefully march to Ningyuan Aerospace City in such a hurry, I'm worried that it will be too much or too much."

The fierce pursuit of the deep mountains and forests of Luchuan made Wang Ji have a deep understanding of the physical limits of the soldiers.

After all, people are not machines. Don’t look like they have just gained a rainbow of morale. When the blood fades away, endless fatigue will come. From ancient times to the present, there will be a period of rest after the war. Such forced assistance cannot guarantee combat effectiveness.

"Jingyuan Bo's words are reasonable. Continuous marching and fighting may not be able to withstand it."

Yu Qian looked solemn and fell into a dilemma.

The Liaodong Army cannot help but fail to provide assistance, but the problem is that since the war between the capital and the war, the soldiers have never had any rest time, which is really a bit tricky.

"Otherwise, 20,000 elite troops will be drawn from the reserve army and the nine sides. They will have a short time to join the battle, and they will have relatively more physical strength."

Shi Heng thought of another way, which was to draw the reserves and the border troops who rushed to the battlefield to cut off the rear. They basically did not participate in this war, so there was no such thing as rest and rest. They could just march to support Liaodong.

"Is twenty thousand people enough?"

Yu Qian did not agree. He learned from the Liaodong Army messenger that after the three Jurchen tribes and three servants of Urianha, Yesen's army had nearly 200,000, which was almost no less than the troops and horses in front of the siege of the capital.

Install the latest version.]

Shi Heng led 20,000 troops to go over, and the entire Ming army in Liaodong was only 100,000, and the enemy was still exponentially our army. Not to mention that he had to fight in field battles. Yu Qian was not confident after the battle at Tumu Fort.

"Enough, it's not expensive, but the essence. The Jurchen servants' army are the best examples in these Hami outside the capital. Maybe it can still play a counter-effect of the rushing force at that time!"

Faced with Shi Heng's repeated determination, considering the tension in Liaodong, Yu Qian no longer insisted at this time.

"Okay, I will allocate 20,000 troops and Wu Qingbo, hoping to resolve the siege of Liaodong and establish the power of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes, I will obey the order!"

The 20,000 reserve troops and border troops rushed to Ningyuan Aluminum for assistance. At this time, Chen Yichen, who was close to Chi Chi, did not do anything except sending scouts to investigate the situation.

On October 23, 13th year of Zhengtong, this was the seventh day after Chen Yichen arrived in the Liaodong waters. The frequency of scouts' messages was getting more and more frequent. The reason was that Ningyuan Acropolis was already in a dangerous state and could be captured by the Mongols at any time.

"Looking north, you can't wait any longer. The Liaodong Army brothers in Ningyuan Acropolis can't hold on!"

Li Da, who was anxious when listening to the military newspaper every day, couldn't bear it this time and came to Chen Yichen and mentioned the idea of ​​logging in to help again.

"If you can't hold on, you have to hold on. The only one who can really save them is yourself!"

After so many wars, I have seen too many separations of life and death, and my sentiment can no longer overcome Chen Yichen's rationality.

"Question how do they save themselves?"

"The scout found that Ningyuan Acropolis had suffered heavy casualties, and the Tartars had already made a large number of siege equipment. The day the city was broken was the time to massacre the city!"

Li Da had no doubt that the Taishi would first vent the anger of not capturing the capital on the Liaodong Army, and it would be inevitable that the city would be massacred in the end.

"Wait for another three days, and I will rush to Ningyuan Acropolis in three days."

Faced with Li Da's "aggressiveness", Chen Yichen finally gave him a certain time.

According to the time when the messenger arrived in the capital, if Yu Qian wanted to rush to help Liaodong, he would arrive in ten days with a quick horse.

Chen Yichen believed that with Tai Shi Yesen's war experience, it was easy to estimate the arrival time of reinforcements. In the next few days, he would do his best to attack the city to prevent the Ming army from being raided behind him.

The Liaodong Army must survive these difficult three days. When the Mongolian army is exhausted and slackened, it is the day when Chen Yichen rushes to attack the reinforcements!

"Three days? If there were no reinforcements, they would probably not be able to hold on for a day."

Li Da is still vivid in his memory of the scene where Cao Yi abandoned Guangning City. He is really afraid that he will repeat the same mistake under heavy pressure.

"If I can't hold on for a day, I can't save the Liaodong Army even if I go."

"Li Da, as a general of the first army, you can no longer be emotional."

Chen Yichen replied silently, "I have already understood the principle of being kind but not being in charge of soldiers, and Li Da should understand it."

"How can you not act emotionally for two years? Xiangbei, if I was besieged in Ningyuan Acropolis today, can you still stand by and watch?"

Li Da's tone had a hint of grief and anger. He had been an activist since he was a child. It was precisely this that there were such brothers who were willing to share life and death.

In a sense, disadvantages are also Li Da's advantages.

"I……"

Chen Yichen was speechless for a moment. If Li Da and other companions from Yingtian Mansion were trapped in Ningyuan Acropolis, would he still be so rational?

After a moment of silence, Chen Yichen raised his head and looked directly at Li Da and replied, "I will still wait for the fighter plane."

"Even if I were trapped in Ningyuan Acropolis, I hope you can wait for the best fighter plane instead of risking your life to rush to help!"

The commander of the first army has never been responsible for one person. Chen Yichen shoulders the lives of more than 30,000 people. Do the soldiers at the bottom have any choice?

Hearing Chen Yichen's answer, Li Da stood there blankly, and after a long time he spoke, "Xiangbei, you are right."

After saying that, Li Da secretly turned around and left. When he walked to the cabin door, he sighed and said, "Maybe I am not a qualified general."

On the other hand, Ningyuan Acropolis was once a "commander" who was not qualified, but this time he resolutely took on his own responsibilities. He was the Liaodong general Cao Yi.

At first, the crystal clear ice wall was dyed black and red after many days of offensive and defensive battles. It is hard to tell whether it is "snow" water or "blood" water.

However, Cao Yi and the two Liaodong deputy generals always stood on the city wall, and even led the way at the critical moment, repelling the Tartar soldiers who attacked the city wall several times, leaving Ningyuan Acropolis still firmly in the hands of the Ming army!

Cao Yi knew very well that when he was afraid of death, he was guarding Guangning City, the Liaodong Metropolitan Command, had already planted the seeds of distrust in the hearts of the soldiers. If he wanted to restore his former dignity and reputation, only iron and blood could do it.

However, as the Mongolian army's siege equipment became more and more perfect, and the enemy's offensive became more and more crazy, defense became more and more difficult. Many soldiers had a look of despair on their faces. They knew that reinforcements were far away in the capital and they might not be able to wait for the day they were saved.

Another bloody battle to fight back the Tartars' attack, Cao Yi looked at the soldiers who collapsed on the city wall and gradually lost their hope and fighting spirit, and his emotions were indescribable.

But he knew very well that anyone could lose hope, but he, the coach, could not.

When he was also desperate, it was the day when Ningyuan Acropolis fell!

"Brothers cheer up. When will the mere Tartars make my Liaodong Tiger Ben fear? Do you still remember the experience of the Northern Expedition of the Three Jurchens and the Western Expedition of the Three Guards of Urianha? They are just a group of defeated generals, and they are only worthy of kneeling on the ground and waving their tails to beg for mercy!"

Cao Yi held his sword in his hand and patrolled the city wall while roaring at the soldiers.

The Liaodong Army was a glorious army. With the decline of Nuergandusi, they were the only military force of the Ming Dynasty in the northeast. Especially in recent years, Mongolia has risen again, and they are in a state of fighting in the north and south for many years. I don’t know how many Mongolians have been fighting.

"Yes, where the sword of my Liaodong Army pointed, which Tartar dared to jump off the beam?"

Jiao Li, the left deputy general, agreed with a sentence that his ancestors were Mongolians, and his father even became the right prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, and he joined the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu period.

But Jiao Li never regarded himself as a Mongol. After joining the army, he stationed in Liaodong for decades, repeatedly defeated the three guards of Urianha. He was famous in the army for his desperate attempt to fight and even won the title of "Flying General".

After his words came out, many soldiers immediately felt empathy. I remember that when he followed Jiao Li and was so angry that he had taken the Mongolian Tartars into consideration?

"Don't worry, all the soldiers, the imperial court has sent letters to a large number of reinforcements on the way to Liaodong. At that time, we will not only guard Liaodong, but also let the group of Tartars who retreated from the capital return to Mobei in vain!"

The right deputy general Shi Ju was also full of momentum, but his words were not even half true or false. Ningyuan Acropolis is now surrounded by three layers of inner and outer layers, and he cannot receive any letters from outside at all, and he cannot know the number of reinforcements from the court and the progress of the court.

But for the soldiers at the bottom, they will not delve into the authenticity behind it, or they cannot delve into it.

When they heard that reinforcements were about to arrive, the soldiers of the Liaodong Army, who were originally in a low morale, seemed to have instantly ignited hope for life.

"Damn, I have been stationed in Liaodong for so many years and have always taken the initiative to cooperate with the Beijing camp to go on the expedition. I didn't expect that they still need to come and help today."

"That's right, the Jurchens and Tartars were like wrecky dogs in front of us, and now these miscellaneous groups are still standing up!"

"I've been desperate for so many years and haven't died on the battlefield. If I don't believe it, I'll lie in the coffin this time!"

"Stop talking. Even if you die, you have to drag the two Tartars to the back and bully them for the rest of your life. You can't be ridden by them at the last moment!"

The soldiers on the city wall said every word, and their words were filled with unwillingness.

The border army is different from the soldiers in the Beijing camp. They have a natural psychological advantage in fighting with the Jurchens and the Mongols all year round. As a result, after the battle of Tumu Fort, the offensive and defensive momentum changed. Once the defeated generals were riding on their heads and being able to face the capital, it was a shame and humiliation.

The Liaodong Army can die in battle, but cannot die cowardly. The commander led the way this time, and at worst he would die with the Tartars!

Compared to the unwillingness of the Liaodong Army, Tai Shi Yexian was more angry and anxious.

According to the news from behind, the 20,000 elite cavalry behind the palace had all been destroyed, and even the main general Boluo was killed by Bo Shiheng, Wuqing of Ming Dynasty.

These 20,000 elite cavalry are not Hami, and the Jurchens are real Mongolian string control soldiers. First, they never expected that the troops and horses that were blocked by the palace were wiped out. Is this Boluo carelessly underestimating the enemy, or is the Ming army's combat effectiveness qualitatively changing?

However, no matter which reason it was, it was conveyed to Yexian, that is, with the destruction of the army behind the palace, the Ming Dynasty would definitely find a way to send troops to help Liaodong.

Because as long as the commander of the Ming army with some strategic thinking will understand how terrifying the Mongolians would be when the Liaodong Dusi is lost. It is simply a sharp sword hanging on the head of the Ming Dynasty. You can swing your troops south to kill at any time!

At the same time, there was another thing beyond Yesen's expectations, that was, the Liaodong army, which was chased by the Tatar tribe of Tuotuobuhua, resisted the attack of its own army in Ningyuan Acropolis. Even the Liaodong general Cao Yidou, who was afraid of death, was always stationed on the city wall and led the way.

It was impossible to capture Ningyuan Acropolis for a long time, and Liaodong was getting colder and colder, so the cattle, sheep, food and grass carried by the army could not be replenished in winter.

If you delay like this, you will either be forced to give up or retreat if you are defeated!

Neither of these two items was the choice of Tai Shi Yesen. He could tolerate that he could not conquer the capital of the Ming Dynasty. After all, being able to reach the capital of the capital was an unexpected joy of capturing the Ming Dynasty from beginning to end.

But if you can't even capture a small acropolis in Liaodong, it would be a shame for you. How can you order the Mongolian tribes in the future?

So what Ye Ye can do is to madly order the army to attack Ningyuan Acropolis in turn, and even attack without regard for casualties. He only hopes that before the Ming army rushes to the rescue troops, he will completely wipe out the Liaodong army and become the defensive side. At that time, the Ming army may be facing a shortage of food and supplies.

Along with the battles and beacons, a gathering army appeared on the coastline of Liaodong in the dark.

After more than ten days of waiting and suppression, the tens of thousands of soldiers under Chen Yichen's command had long been unable to contain their fighting spirit and anger. They urgently needed the blood of the Tartars to comfort the spirit of the sky who was dead in the robes.

Liaodong is not a place where the Mongols can be allowed to run rampant!
