Borrow the day to change the day

At this time, the cavalry was not seen because the hills in the distance blocked it.But the sound has become more and more obvious. It is obviously the sound of the galloping cavalry.

A large cavalry army coming from this direction, under normal circumstances, without even thinking about it, it must be the Jianlu army.

Therefore, Yuan Keli made a decisive decision and ordered the guards around him: "Run the alarm bell to warn."

After Yuan Keli finished his order, he took a single-lens telescope handed over by his servant A Hong, checked the movement in the distance, and waited for the cavalry to appear.

Amidst the rapid and regular sound of alarm bells in Jinzhou City, it was as if the surface of a calm lake suddenly boiled up. Teams of soldiers immediately left the barracks, and went nervously but orderly to their predetermined city walls. and go.

On the street, some high-ranking military officers can be seen riding horses towards the city wall in the east of the city under the protection of their personal guards, and civilian husbands have also begun to prepare supplies for war preparations. They only wait for an order to supply supplies to the top of the city. Everything seems to be in an orderly manner.

Not long after, the senior military officers in Jinzhou City had already gathered around Liaodong Governor Yuan Keli.

This kind of reaction speed may not be found in other places, and it can be regarded as a characteristic of military cities at the forefront.

At the best position on the top of the city, Yuan Keli, Zu Dashou, and He Kegang, who had binoculars, all used binoculars to observe the enemy's tracks.

The dust is flying, the hooves are rumbling, and all the signs are already obvious.Experienced people listened to his voice and guessed that it was the main force of Jianlu, and the scale was quite large.

Zu Dashou immediately put down the binoculars, turned his head and ordered to the guards beside him: "Remove the cannons from all over the place, load the shells and prepare."

In the battle against the enemy, as long as Yuan Keli did not speak, it was Zu Dashou who exercised command.

As his order was issued, the city was busy again in a tense and orderly manner.

The long-awaited cavalry finally turned to the distant mountain, and the three people with binoculars were shocked after seeing the situation clearly.

The cavalry that caught their eyes basically had no formation at all and was running desperately forward.Seeing its attire, it seems to be a Ming army.

After getting closer, they could already see clearly that this cavalry army coming to Jinzhou City was indeed the Ming army, and many of them were still wearing the standard armor of the Guanning Army.

At this time, He Kegang suddenly said: "It's the death camp, the death camp that went out of the fortress."

Needless to say, Yuan Keli and Zu Dashou had already seen the black military flag with the scarlet death lettering on it.But why the death camp came from this direction made them very puzzled.

I saw that the cavalry army of the death battalion had already circled to the front of the mountain and was rushing towards Jinzhou City. Judging by the number of them, there were only about two thousand people.

There is still a large amount of dust floating up behind the hill, and the earth-shattering hooves are obviously not what these 2000 people can make.Judging by the signs of escape from the death camp, there should be pursuers behind.

The three with binoculars could already see the faces of the soldiers of the death camp, He Kegang suddenly shouted: "The last general saw Cao Wenzhao and Cao Shen general."

Yuan Keli didn't know Cao Wenzhao, and after hearing what He Kegang said, he ordered: "Prepare to welcome them into the city."

At this time, the pursuers behind had also turned to the front of the hill, and they were under Jianlu's Zhengbai Banner.

But they immediately discovered other units of Jianlu, including the white banner and the yellow banner, and even the Mongolian cavalry inside, chasing and killing the death camp.

When Zu Dashou saw this situation, he immediately stopped the governor's personal guard who was about to leave to deliver the order.

He put down the binoculars and explained to Yuan Keli: "Zhongcheng, beware of fraud."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Keli put down the binoculars, turned to look at Zu Dashou, and asked seriously, "What's the trick?"

Zu Dashou could only clasped his fists and replied: "Zhongcheng, if the death camp has surrendered to the enemy and deceived the city gate to open the city gate in order to lead Jianlu, Jinzhou will be gone."

He Kegang on the side immediately put down the binoculars and interjected: "Zhongcheng, Cao Wenzhao is not this kind of person, and besides, this death camp has the will to go out of the fortress, how could they vote for Jianlu?"

Seeing that He Kegang opposed his opinion, Zu Dashou couldn't help squinting at him and asked, "How dare you guarantee it?"

"The final general is willing to guarantee that Cao Wenzhao will never surrender." He Kegang's words fell to the ground.

But Zu Dashou immediately continued: "What's the use of a guarantee? Everyone will die if the city falls. Oh, by the way, you don't have to."

The situation these days has made the relationship between the two people who did not deal with each other even more tense, and the smell of gunpowder in their words has become stronger.

"You..." He Kegang was so angry that he couldn't speak.What Zu Dashou said was that Cao Wenzhao surrendered to the enemy, and he could use his relationship with Cao Wenzhao to surrender to the enemy, and nothing would happen.

While the city was arguing, the death camp had already rushed to the front of the moat of Jinzhou City.Cao Wenzhao was at the front, and the big flag with the word Cao and the military flag with the word "dead" behind him all showed that he was right under the city.

Cao Wenzhao shouted to the top of the city with all his energy: "I am Cao Wenzhao, the commander of the death camp, open the door quickly and let me enter the city."

After shouting for a while, there was no movement at the top of the city. Cao Wenzhao thought the sound of horseshoes was too loud, so he asked the guards around him to shout together and repeat his words.

But there was still no response, Cao Wenzhao was a little anxious.On the grassland, he was intercepted and attacked by Horqin's large troops, and even Jianlu later caught up.It took Cao Wenzhao a lot of effort to escape from the grassland, unexpectedly entered the territory of Jianlu, and went to Jinzhou to beg for it.

He lost many brothers along the way, and ordered his troops to discard the spoils they had seized on the grassland along the way, and ran across the starry night before escaping.

Even so, more and more skilled pursuers gathered, and the Jianlu along the way continued to join the ranks of the chase. Now they are not far behind their buttocks, and they can catch up in minutes.

The ink stains on the top of the city made Cao Wenzhao very anxious. He knew that the top of the city must have known the identity of his cavalry army and recognized it as a friendly army, otherwise he would not have allowed himself to enter the moat without firing.

But what does it mean not to let himself enter the city? Cao Wenzhao turned his head to watch the movement behind him, and found that Jianlu was getting closer.

In desperation, he ordered the entire army to form a defensive position along the back of the moat.If Jinzhou City doesn't open the door again, they will fight Jianlu to the death under their noses.

Because it was impossible to continue fleeing, the whole army was exhausted, including the horses.However, Jianlu has the supplement of fresh troops along the way. If the dead camp runs a few more miles, Jianlu will definitely be overtaken by Jianlu.

The soldiers of the death camp all looked at the top of the city with resentment. They didn't want to escape to the city of Jinzhou, but they didn't open the door to let them in. This was to let them die outside the city.

The closest to the death camp was the Dorgon Department of Zhengbai Banner. When he saw that the Ming army in Jinzhou City did not open the door, he was slightly surprised and hurriedly sent an order: "Paste the Ming army outside the city and kill them all. If the Ming army enters City, follow them and attack Jinzhou City."

He didn't pass on this order to the next few troops, because everyone is an experienced general, and he can see the purpose of his arrangement at a glance.

Seeing Jianlu getting closer, Cao Wenzhao wiped out his last hope.He shouted: "Fight to the death!"

With a voice of grief and indignation, the personal guard responded to the commander's will: "Fight to the death!"

Afterwards, the soldiers of the death camp also roared together: "Fight to the death!"
