Zhao Li taught: "My lord, withdraw back. If the prisoners come on foot, we won't be able to fight at all."
The cavalry of the Jiankuren lies in fast mobility, and can completely encircle the Ming army and attack from left to right. The Ming army suffers from the field battle and cannot match it.
Sun Chengzong looked in the direction of Youtun, the old voice was a little hoarse, and said: "Do you think how long Zhou Zhengyun can stay?"
Although Zhou Zheng arrested Zu Dashou without giving a definite reason, Man Gui and Zhou Zheng had fought side by side under the capital after all, and Zhou Zheng had been guarding Youtun for so long, so he still tended to believe him.
Man Gui pulled his beard and said, "My lord, it is better to guard the city in winter. The prisoners are also afraid of the severe cold. They will come to the end. As long as there is enough food, there will be no problem staying for more than a month.
One more month is December, which is the twelfth month of winter. The Jiankui people don't say that there is insufficient food and grass. Even if there is enough food and grass, they cannot continue to fight in the severe cold and can only retreat.
Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said, "Retreat."
Man Gui, Zhao Sujiao and others responded and quickly withdrew all the troops south of the Daling River back to Jinzhou.
In Youtun, water was poured on the city wall, and the water quickly condensed, turning Youtun into an ice city.
Jianluo tentatively attacked several times without success, and had to stop the attack.
Seeing the cold winter, the Jianlu people's food and grass are also not available. This time, they are really in trouble.
Huang Taiji once again summoned everyone together to discuss the immediate predicament.
Amin became more impatient, and said: "If you want to fight, fight, if you want to withdraw, then withdraw, there is so much nonsense, I think it's like this, directly crossed the Daling River, surrounded Jinzhou, and then got into Ningyuan, just take it. Ning Yuan, Jinzhou is in an isolated city, so Sun Chengzong has to surrender if he doesn't surrender..."
This kind of thinking is quite taken for granted. It stands to reason that it cannot be said by a military veteran like Amin, but he has said that.
Everyone understood that Amin did not miss any opportunity to embarrass Huang Taiji, and no one took the trouble.
After a moment, Jierhalang, who has always been cautious in his words and deeds, said: "Sweat, at this time, it is better to let go."
Aziger also had a more aggressive temper, and said: "Then don't play a virtual game, just break through Youtun. If they rebuild, we will come again next year!"
Others all said the same, and this is the most beneficial way for them right now.
Huang Taiji was noncommittal, turned to Fan Wenchen, and said, "What does Fan Qing think?"
Now, Fan Wenchen can't be confident anymore.
He really pondered for a while, and said: "Sweat, Sun Chengzong was determined to see through our plan. As long as Jinzhou does not lose, he can rebuild the Youtun. Even if we break the Youtun, it doesn't make much sense. . Our national strength cannot come every year. At present, we still have to find a way to give the Ming army a heavy blow and interrupt the Ming army’s heart to advance northward."
Huang Taiji nodded slightly, and Fan Wenchen said it very much to his heart. Fighting around the spot is his best tactic, but Sun Chengzong is not fooled and does not move, which makes him very embarrassed.
Youtun is now a nail again. If you want to pull it out, you have to endure the pain, and it is uncomfortable to pull it out.
Severe winter is coming, and food and grass are in short supply.
Jianlu is in a dilemma.
Huang Taiji pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "No. Mingren's fighting style this time is completely different from the past. If it is usual, they will rescue Youtun anyway, but this time they have done a lot of momentum and did not move!"
Fan Wenchen moved slightly in his heart and said, "This time it is indeed a bit unusual. Could it be that Sun Chengzong did it deliberately. What is he planning?"
Huang Taiji raised his head to look at Ji'erharang, and said, "Shandong, what's going on in North Korea?"
Ji'erhalang looked solemn and thought about it carefully, and said: "No. The Ming army in North Korea has basically collapsed and there is no threat. The navy in Shandong has more infighting, and many people still want to surrender to my Daijin, which is not a threat.
Huang Taiji calmed his eyebrows and continued to think.
There is no threat from the right. Mongolia on the left has long been maimed. So what is Sun Chengzong planning for
Huang Taiji thought about it, his eyes fixed on Youtun.
He did not expect that this small castle would become their most difficult nail!
Amin got impatient, stood up again, and said, "This won't work, that won't work either. Let's just withdraw the troops. What's the use of this consumption?"
Huang Taiji glanced at him, and then slowly said: "Amin, you led your troops to cross the Daling River and do a test in Jinzhou. Azige, continue to surround Youtun, Yuetuo, if you do, I want to watch it. Look, what tricks Sun Chengzong is playing!"
"It's a sweat!" A group of people agreed.
Amin did snorted coldly, then turned around and walked: "If I can't say it, it's over. How can there be so much trouble."
Everyone looked at Amin's back and did not speak.
Huang Taiji seemed to be too lazy to pay attention to him. After making careful arrangements, he announced that the meeting was adjourned.
The army of prisoners moved quickly, and Amin led an army of 20,000 to cross the Daling River and approach Jinzhou City.
Jinzhou was immediately under martial law and was ready to fight.
The Jianluo's offensive against Youtun continued to strengthen, and the cavalry marched around the city, making tentative attacks from time to time.
Zhou Zheng and a group of people stood in the arrow pavilion, overlooking the Jianlu camp.
Meng Hezhou Road: "My lord, Jianlu can't wait."
Zhou Zheng looked at the army of built captives walking around the city, thought about it carefully, and said, "Is there any news from the supervisor?"
Meng Hezhou said: "There is nothing new, it is still a few days ago, the supervisor's letter said: follow the plan."
After so long, everyone understood that Zhou Zheng and Supervisor Sun Chengzong had always had a certain plan.
Zhou Zheng hummed, and then said for a moment: "How long can the grain and grass last?"
Meng Hezhou Road: "One month, it is claimed to be ten days to the outside world."
Zhou Zheng's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were unprecedentedly solemn, and he continued to look at the north.
As the cold winter approaches, Jianlu's food and grass are exhausted, and a big battle is inevitable!
This is also the most important and final part of his plan with Sun Chengzong!
Chu Jin suddenly came up in a hurry and whispered in Zhou Zheng's ear.
Zhou Zheng squinted his eyes suddenly, snorted coldly, and said, "Stop the soldier and wait for his action."
Chu Jin said: "Yes!"
Cao Bianjiao heard it, and stepped forward and said, "My lord, there are still a lot of them, don't you make more preparations?"
Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and said, "I want to give him another chance. If he doesn't move, I don't know about it. If he really takes that step, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Meng Hezhou, Cao Bianjiao and others did not speak silently. They all knew what was going to happen, but they didn't know whether that person would really take that step!
At night, the cold wind roared, freezing to the bones.
Except for the soldiers who had to patrol the city, almost no one was outside, it was too cold! It is no longer known how many people suffered frostbite and lost their combat effectiveness.
At the Youtun Mansion, Zu Dashou was standing in the main hall in a uniform, with indifferent eyes. In front of him were more than a dozen soldiers holding swords and standing in awe. (End of this chapter)
