After Li Xing entered Ningyuan City, he did not see the legendary'Ha Dongqing'. He didn't even know if'Ha Dongqing' was a person or a group of people.
But he received a secret letter from'Haitongqing'. In the letter,'Haitongqing' told him that there are ten cattle records in Jinzhou, of which six are Jurchen cattle records, three are Mongolian cattle records, and there is one Hanjun cattle record.
Now is not the time when Daming and Jiannu are in full-scale war. Jiannu's Niu Lu is not full. Each Niu Lu has only a hundred people, and the rest are engaged in grazing or farming near Shenyang.
"Ten Niu Lu? At best, there are only a thousand people. Excluding those who stayed behind in Jinzhou, the actual number of slaves who have come to reinforce is less than one thousand." Li Xing calculated that he burned the secret letter according to the request of'Haitongqing' Up.
Jinzhou defender Sukhbaru is a female true leader. He likes bullying Han people the most. After receiving Yue Tuo's order, he immediately set about going south. If there are Han people, he can insult him. He can’t wait to grow wings, like flying in the sky. Like Hai Dongqing in the sky, he immediately flew to Ningyuan and Qiantun.
In Jinzhou City, only one Jurchen cattle record and one Mongolian cattle record are left.
Sukhbaru personally took the remaining eight Niu Lu, more than 800 soldiers, and went south to reinforce Ning Yuan.
Jinzhou is far away from Ning, about two hundred and eighty miles, and at the speed of Jiannu light cavalry, it can be reached in just one day.
But Sukhbaru believes that if he leaves early in the morning and arrives at Ningyuan, the sky may already be dark, which is not conducive to his raid outside the city and search for the Ming army.
So he postponed the time to go south to noon, and then rested on the road for one night.
As soon as the sun was westward, Sukhbaru approached Ningyuan City.
It was Sukhbaru who delayed the march for half a day, and Li Xing seized the opportunity to retake Ningyuan at night. But when Sukhbaru arrived at Ningyuan, he didn't know that Ningyuan had been attacked by Li Xing.
He strangled the horse, slowed down the horse under his seat, and then said to a soldier next to him: "You, go to the gate and call the gate open. Let's rest and eat first, and then search the neighborhood. The Ming Dynasty Tofu Army."
"Yes, um." The soldier flicked the rein and left.
"Bang, bang."
Two clear gunshots came into Sukhbaru's ears from the air, and his subordinates also heard these two sudden sounds.
"What's the matter? Which Niulu in Ningyuan City has issued a musket?" Sukhbaru frowned. He is the most trusted subordinate of the banner owner Yuetuo, and he has not issued a precious musket so far.
No one answered Sukhbaru's words, no one knew what happened.
"Da da da… "
A chaotic sound of horseshoes came from a distance, and Sukhbaru looked into the distance. A lonely Mongolian horse was coming from the south with a Jurchen soldier in leather armor lying on the horse's back.
Even if he couldn't see the soldier's face, Sukhbaru knew that on horseback was the soldier he had just sent out.
Sukhbaru wondered why the soldiers were lying on their horses instead of sitting upright. The Jurchen started to learn to ride and shoot arrows at the age of seven or eight, and he could not move like a mountain on a flying horse. This soldier's riding skills were superb. Why did he lie down on his horse in embarrassment
The Mongolian horse was getting closer and closer, Sukhbaru noticed something was wrong.
The leather armor on the front of the soldier was stained with blood, and even the saddle was dripping blood.
"What's the matter?" Sukhbaru was furious and dared to beat his soldiers, that would not give him face, besides, he still came to reinforce Ning Yuan.
"Er... Ning... Ning Yuan... Lost... Shou..." The soldier barely sat up straight, because of his emotions and physical movement, a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth, like a hidden weapon in the Tang Sect of Sichuan, solidly. It sprayed on Sukhbaru's face, and then his body tilted, and his head fell from the horse, and there was no more sound.
Sukhbaru dismounted himself to check the injuries of the personal soldiers, but the personal soldiers were already dead for three thousand miles.
"Just now, what did he say?" Sukhbaru's body froze. He didn't seem to understand, so he had to ask the soldiers next to him.
"Er Zhen, he said, Ning Yuan has fallen." Deputy Zha Lan Zhang Jing Wuli not only had to repeat the words of the dead soldier.
"What? Ning Yuan lost?" Sukhbaru suddenly jumped from the ground, "When is this?"
The scene was silent, and no one could answer Sukhbaru’s questions, including Ori No. The eyes of everyone looked at the city head of Ningyuan's North Gate.
"What flag is that? It's neither ours nor Daming's." A sharp-eyed soldier saw the flag flying above the city, but he was too far away to see clearly.
"Go, go and see." Sukhbaru started, and dozens of Mongolian war horses ran to a place only a thousand steps away from the city gate.
Sukhbaru knew that Ningyuan City had artillery left over by the Ming army. This artillery used solid bullets and had a maximum range of 1,000 steps.
The slight northwest wind spread most of the flag on the city's head, and Sukhbaru saw it very seriously this time.
That is the blue background, red sun, and yellow moon flag.
The banner is rectangular. The background color of the entire rectangle is azure blue. In the middle is a fiery red sun. The sun extends upward, downward, left and right in a direction of fiery red light, and the light up and down is close to the flag. On the edge of each two rays, there are two shorter rays, which are also fiery red. In the center of the fiery red sun, there is a golden moon. The fiery red sun and the golden moon overlap .
"Blue background, red sun, yellow moon, light," Sukhbaru muttered softly, "Whose banner is this? It's not ours, it's not Daming's, or Mongolia's."
"Er Zhen, the combination of'ri' and'yue' happens to be the word'Ming', is it the banner of Daming?" Wuli didn't understand some Chinese, so he said his own guess.
Sukhbaru didn't understand the relationship between'Sun' and'Yue' and Daming, and he didn't bother to worry about it. The key now was to figure out whose banner it was and who occupied Ningyuan City.
"Let a few Han soldiers go over and ask whose soldiers and horses are in the city. If they are our female brothers, let them open the city gate and let us in; if they are Han, then we have to fill their bodies with this. Banners, use their heads to worship our longevity heaven."
Several Han soldiers trembled, and in front of Sukhbaru, they tried their best to maintain a straight posture, but their slightly trembling hands still betrayed them.
"These Han Tofu Army." Sukhbaru cursed, and he didn't care about the other Han soldiers around him.
"Da da da… "
Several Han soldiers went and returned.
"Er Zhen, they are Daming Yuan Chonghuan's subordinates."
"Yuan Chonghuan?" Sukhbaru was taken aback and almost planted from the moment. Tianming Khan and the only defeat in the battle with the Han people was that they were defeated by Yuan Chonghuan under the city of Ningyuan. "What's the matter with the banner? Did Yuan Chonghuan break away from Daming and stand on his own?" Sukhbaru wondered if Yuan Chonghuan left the Ming to stand on his own, he should first eat Yuan Chonghuan's lone army, or first unite with Yuan Chonghuan and defeat the one in the south. Huge Daming.
"No, really. They said that this is the new military flag of Ming Dynasty, called the Sun Moon Army Banner." The Han soldiers spoke very carefully. Now Sukhbaru must have a lot of fire in his heart. Don't burn him. On the head.
Sukhbaru still didn't understand: "Sun Moon Flag? What does it mean?"
"This... the little one didn't ask." In fact, from the literal Chinese characters, he already understood the general meaning of the Sun and Moon Banner, but he was afraid that after saying this meaning, Sukhbaru would not only not appreciate him, but would give it to him. A whip.
"Is Yuan Chonghuan in the city? Did he kill my soldier?" Sukhbaru asked.
"They said that Yuan Chonghuan is not here, and the city is just his subordinates." The soldiers of the Han army only knew that the soldiers in the city were Yuan Chonghuan's subordinates. He didn't know if Yuan Chonghuan was in the city, in order to extinguish the possible anger of Sukhbaru. I had to borrow the words of the soldiers at the head of the city to make up a lie.
Sukhbaru allowed the horse to turn around half a circle, and his pupils suddenly dilated: "Since Yuan Chonghuan is not in the city, then we immediately attack and take down Ning Yuan."
Wuli did not hurriedly dissuade him: "Uh really, we are light cavalry, and we don't carry any siege equipment..."
"The big living person can still suffocate urine?" Sukhbaru's eyes widened and his pupils became bigger. He pointed forward with his hand, "Shaman bless us, isn't there a forest on the right?"
Everyone looked in the direction of his fingers, and sure enough, in the east of Ningyuan City, near the foot of the mountain, there was a slightly yellowed forest.
I dare not fight again in Ori. In the Jurchen ministries, bravery is the only way to convince people, even if you are brave and innocent, even if you want to kill innocent people, even if you have developed limbs and simple mind.
Sukhbaru immediately assigned a group of soldiers to cut down trees, and then handed them over to Niu Lu of the Han army to make them a ladder for siege of the city.
The ladder is not the best siege equipment, but it is the easiest siege equipment to make.
In one afternoon, the soldiers of the Han army built eight ladders that could reach the head of Ningyuan City.
"Go to bed early tonight, and begin to attack the city tomorrow morning." Sukhbaru took a word and returned to his own account.
Ningyuan City.
The soldiers guarding the head of the city reported the arrival of the slaves to Li Xing.
"How many reinforcements did you get to build slaves?"
"Back to the brigade, because I was far away, I didn't see clearly enough, there were about hundreds of slave soldiers, among them there was a Niu Lu of the Han Army."
Li Xing nodded, and it was more consistent with what the'Haitongqing' letter said, "What did they do?"
"Back to the brigade, they asked about our banner, and I told them that this is our new banner--the sun and moon banner."
Li Xing sneered slightly. They must have no idea that these Jian slaves. The four rays of light on the Sun and Moon banner represented the expansion of Da Ming in four directions, and the light directly above the banner pointed to Jiannu and Shenyang.
"What else did they do?"
"Back to the brigade, they spent the afternoon cutting trees in the woods in the east of the city, and then arranging something on the open space outside."
"Cut down trees?" Li Xing thought slightly, "They are going to attack the city."
"..."
Li Xing issued an order to the messenger next to him: "If the order goes on, the whole brigade will take battalions as units, take turns to rest, and monitor the slaves outside the city day and night.
The messenger was about to leave, and was stopped by Li Xing: "Wait, immediately send the messenger to inspect and repair the artillery at the four gates."
"Yes." Chuan Ling Bing made a military salute, turned and ran away.
