Chapter 553: It's too late

Night before dawn.

If you can stand at a high altitude, you can see that there are stars on the sea, and the sea outside the mouth of the Sancha River is covered with these stars.

These stars are the ships responsible for transportation, and a large fleet of transport ships almost cover the entire sea.

As the night was about to leave, it gradually became lively here, and smoke always rose first. The lively horns began to rise, and ships carrying supplies and equipment began to become busy one after another.

On the shore of the estuary, some simple fortifications have been built, including trenches, horse-resisting horses, fences, arrow towers, and some are still building earthen walls. In short, a fortification that has begun to take shape has been formed.

The sky gradually became brighter, the smoke became thicker, and the steam of the rice ripe surrounding this huge fortification.

Soon, the smoke from cooking finally stopped. The soldiers, craftsmen and civilians who had breakfast began to work on their own affairs.

A team of about three thousand, and the fierce cavalry team rushed out of the fortifications like a giant dragon, bringing out smoke and dust all the way.

...

Songshan Fort.

Now outside Songshan Fort can be described as a mess. There are tunnels everywhere, digging the originally flat ground into a mess and devastated area. Due to the war, the land that should have been green is now bare, and occasionally a touch of green grows tenaciously in these terrible scars.

"What day is today?" Huang Taiji put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile Mile, and still looked at the Songshan Fort filled with smoke. He asked. Although Dajin is now fighting around Songshan Fort, there is no trace of joy on Huang Taiji's face.

"It's about twenty days since I returned to the Great Sweat." Fan Wencheng said.

"Twenty days? What's wrong with this Ming Emperor? Should I send reinforcements?" Huang Taiji asked.

"I guess it's almost done. The news here can be at the capital of the Ming Dynasty in at most three or four days. The Ming Emperor wants to discuss with the ministers, which will take one or two days to come. It will take five or six days to get the result. If the result comes, the troops will be transferred. It is estimated that it will take ten or half a month to get out of the pass. In this way, the Ming Emperor's rescue should be arrived. It will be almost the next few days unless the Ming Emperor does not plan to save Songshan Fort." Fan Wencheng tried his best to calculate the day when the Ming Dynasty sent troops. From the Ming Dynasty's attack on Songshan Fort, to the Ming Dynasty's monarch and ministers' discussion, and then to the transfer of troops to the pass, basically estimating the routine and time of the Ming Dynasty's troops was quite accurate.

"Well, Xiandou is right, it's time to arrive. If you haven't, Ben Khan will have to break into Songshan Fort. If you accidentally get this Songshan Fort is defeated, you won't be able to play this game." At this point, Huang Taiji's face showed a smile. There was a strong confidence in this smile. Although Songshan Fort is a brick city and has elite troops stationed, after all, it has been surrounded for more than half a year. The people who besieged the city are more than ten times more than those who defend the city. If you want to say that the strong attack without any damage can be captured, it depends on how much damage can be borne.

"The Khan is right, shouldn't relax a little and don't attack so tightly? If it's really captured, it won't attract the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty." Fan Wencheng said again. Now, this Songshan Fort is a bait that lures the Ming Dynasty into "moths to the fire". If the fire is gone, it will definitely not attract moths. Therefore, even if the fire is in the twilight years, it may be extinguished at all times, but it can't really be destroyed.

"Well, it makes sense, come!... Pass on, don't work too hard to attack the city, keep your strength in support, wait for the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty to come, so that reinforcements can be fought." Huang Taiji said with some confidence. Although the city can be captured, he doesn't want to resist this loss. If there is a better way, he will not fight hard.

"Zhe!" A slave agreed and sent another order.

Huang Taiji still picked up the Thousand Mile Mile Mile and observed Songshan Fort again. By constantly observing the situation of the Songshan Fort defenders, Huang Taiji has found many ways to restrain the Ming Dynasty. When applied to actual combat, there are indeed some effects, and the casualties have been reduced a lot. Huang Taiji has to observe Songshan Fort on time every day.

A few riders ran from afar and rushed towards Huang Taiji.

"Report!..." The riders were sweating all over and shouted loudly from a distance.

Huang Taiji put down the Qianli Miles Miles. The confidence he had just now disappeared without a trace, and the rest was only cold.

"How?" Huang Taiji asked.

"Return to Master, there is no news... I'm afraid it's a lot of danger..." The few sweaty knights jumped off the horse, and the quick answerer Huang Taiji said, lowering his head while lowering his head. This news is really not good news. For a long time, the horse exploration team on the east, south, and west of Songshan Fort fought fiercely with the horse exploration team on the Ming Dynasty. There are often missing horse exploration teams, but the horse exploration team on the north is generally not a big deal. But in recent days, there have been several groups of horse exploration teams on the north and there is no news. It is probably a lot of danger.

"...This Yuan Manzi is getting less and less concerned about Benshen..." Huang Taiji rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his face was terrible. Yuan Chonghuan was always beating him for his idea of ​​finding a horse, which made him show his wrong feelings and wrong intentions. He always thought that Yuan Chonghuan was the reinforcement of the Ming Dynasty, which led to his failure to move towards Songshan Fort until he surrounded him for several months. He did not know that Yuan Chonghuan was doing shameless things, dispatching thousands of people and tens of thousands of horses to attack him for the idea of ​​finding a few dozen horses. He was not reinforcements at all.

Yuan Chonghuan had some bottom line at the beginning, that is, there was basically no movement in the north, because the north of Songshan Fort is the only way to connect Shengjing, and it has always been smooth. Even if there is a conflict, it is much less than the south and west. However, in the past few days, things have occurred. Huang Taiji has not received any news from Shengjing for several days, and the horses sent out have no news.

This made Huang Taiji very angry. The feeling of being covered and being concealed was mixed with these angers, rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making Huang Taiji feel something bad, and he wished he could eat Yuan Chonghuan raw.

Yuan Chongyuan was not a reinforcement, but his unreasonable fighting style gradually showed its effect. Now, Huang Taiji's news about the south has become increasingly blurred. Even the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty were out of seclusion, he was puzzled, and even had to guess to make sure. Now even the news of Shengjing was blocked by him.

"...Where did you come back? Have you checked those places?" Huang Taiji was so angry that his mind did not burn out, and he still asked about Tanma's situation carefully.

"Go back to the master, the slaves arrived at Dujiatun and Panshan Post..." The siege replied quickly.

Huang Taiji's face became even more gloomy and sunny. Dujiatun and Panshanyi were quite far away from Jinzhou. If Yuan Chonghuan dared to send his troops to such a faraway place, wouldn't he be afraid that he would not be unable to return home? Being blocked?

Huang Taiji waved his hand and asked the few horses to rest.

"Xiandou, tell me, what's going on." Huang Taiji only felt that his vision was foggy and he couldn't see many things clearly. His thinking felt awkward and sluggish. This feeling made Huang Taiji feel quite unhappy.

"Sweeping back, I'm afraid that Yuan Manzi won't do it. Yuan Manzi can't stretch out his hands that long. It's probably those bounties..." Fan Wencheng thought for a while and said. He looked down on Yuan Chonghuan's shameless style of fighting, thinking that the Ming Dynasty sent such a person who was greedy for life and death, and even bullying the few in war. It was really blind. But now, Fan Wencheng felt the power of this style of fighting more and more, that is, the exploration of the spy, and his understanding of the battlefield became increasingly blurred. He didn't know how the opponent was acting or how the opponent was taking action. Fan Wencheng also felt the pressure of Yuan Chonghuan's style of fighting more and more.

"Borrow Hunter?" Huang Taiji turned his head and asked. His eyes were very clear and uncertain. On the vast coastline, the Ming Dynasty took advantage of the convenience of ships to harasse him. Although these people were not very strong, they were also an unforgettable trouble.

"... Can they have such great ability?" Huang Taiji asked.

"Return to Dahan, this... I guess there is something strange. Unfortunately, the news from Nanming is becoming more and more vague now, and there are fewer and fewer news on the sea... Return to Dahan, the civil officials just felt that there must be a huge change... It's a pity that I don't know what the specific thing is, but the civil officials are sure that it must be a big deal..." Fan Wencheng's mind was running rapidly, and after thinking for a while, it seemed that he had an answer.

"What's the big deal?" Huang Taiji asked. This was indeed a dangerous signal. Even the road to contact Shengjing was cut off. To be more serious, the rear route was cut off.

"Kill Khan, look..." A guard next to him seemed to have seen something surprising and quickly reminded his Khan, as if the situation was too horrifying.

Huang Taiji turned his head and saw his eyes wide open. He quickly picked up the Qianlijing and observed carefully. As the observation became more and more careful, Huang Taiji's face became worse and worse.

Several sweaty knights rode their horses and ran quickly. Behind the horses, there were several horses. Apart from the broken-clothed wounds, the rest were all corpses. Such many corpses were carried back by people, which was extremely rare.

"Report!..." A leading knight rushed over as fast as possible, as if he had exhausted his strength. Although he wanted to roar louder, the ones he called were not loud enough.

"What's going on?" Huang Taiji looked at the leading knight, then at the injured and dead bodies in the team behind him, and asked with an ugly face.

"Return to the master, the slave found the news that the Han people were on the bank of Sancha River, with tens of thousands of people. It is said that the leader was the Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty, who seemed to be named Sun Chengzong..." The leading knight may have really exhausted his strength. Although the news reported was very important, he was weak.

"What?" It seemed like a bolt from the blue. Huang Taiji felt that the sky was dark and the Ming Dynasty was actually on the Sancha River. If it was linked to the disappearance of his spies from the north, it would have been at least several days... This news is really terrible.

Fan Wencheng was also as if he was bolt from the blue, and his eyes were blackened by the shock. The Ming Dynasty did not come to Songshan Fort, but went on the Sancha River with tens of thousands of people. Grand Secretary Sun Chengzong, these were the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty! But why did he go to Sancha River? Fan Wencheng suddenly felt that the world seemed like a man-eating monster.

"When did this happen? How many days have they been ashore? How many people are there? Apart from Sun Chengzong, there are those who lead the troops? Are there reinforcements in other places?" Huang Taiji asked as if he was pouring beans. The Ming Dynasty did not come to Songshan Fort, but went to Sancha River, which really shocked him and made him confused for a moment. The shock was because the Ming Dynasty had concealed his eyes and ears. This shows that his ability to control the battlefield was getting lower and lower, and he was confused. It was because Songshan Fort was more than 200 miles away from Sancha River. It was simply a joke to rescue Songshan Fort from such a distance.

"Return to the master, the slave is not sure. It's been several days..." The more he said, the voice of the knight who came to report the news was getting weaker and weaker, although this person had been trying to raise his voice a little.

"...It should be five or six days before the Han people landed, and it should be two or three days later... I heard the tongue saying that there were as many as 30,000 to 50,000, and thousands of ships transporting people on the sea were dispatched, all of which were... they were large ships... The leader seemed to be the Han people's Grand Secretary Sun Chengzong, and there seemed to be a female general who called..." The more the speaker spoke, his voice became smaller and more strange, and his words began to be intermittent. As he spoke, his face turned brighter. At the end, before he finished speaking, his face suddenly turned gray, his eyes quickly darkened, and his whole body fell down in a weak voice, and a stream of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth.

"Daguta?"

"Daguta?..." The people around him immediately shouted the name of the knight and went to support him. However, it was obvious that this person was no longer alive. The man named Daguta was also seriously injured, but he just held back his breath and wanted to bring the news back. Now the news has been brought back, and the will that supported him has disappeared, his spirit has also dissipated, and the person will die immediately.

"Khan... Daguta..." The guards only checked the situation a little and knew that the person was dead and there was no help. They immediately reported to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji's face was like a pig's liver. A living person died in front of him, which made it difficult for him to accept. The horses who came back with the corpses in the distance could still be seen before they left. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at home, they had not died enough, and one more had to die.

"Good life and good care..." Huang Taiji held his face tense and squeezed out a few words from his teeth in the calmest voice.

"Zhe!..." the guard agreed.

"Sun Chengzong, thousands of ships, 30,000 to 50,000 people... No wonder Ben Khan and Shengjing's contact was interrupted. It turned out that it was a cover for a good means... How do you think about Xiandou? Ben Khan didn't understand why he was on the Sancha River? Could it be that Emperor Ming still wanted to hit me Shengjing and force me to rescue me?" Huang Taiji had to start thinking about this news. After being stimulated by this news and the incident just now, his voice changed a lot, like an evil ghost crawling out of hell, his voice full of hunger.

"Back to Master..." Fan Wencheng was already sweating profusely. Just now, he had figured out the causes and consequences of this matter and came to an extremely bad conclusion.

"There is no need to be afraid of Xian Dou, just to be honest..." Huang Taiji comforted Fan Wencheng with the voice that wanted to eat people.

"It's too late to go back to my master, it's too late to..." Fan Wencheng replied in a cold sweat all over his body.

"Oh, why is it too late?" Huang Taiji asked.

"Master, the Han people have been ashore for five or six days now, and have already gained a foothold. It's too late, it's too late..." Fan Wencheng lowered his head and muttered.

"Why is it too late? And why is it too late? Could it be that Emperor Ming thought that if he climbed the shore of Sancha River, Ben Khan would definitely go to Sancha River? If Ben Khan didn't leave, could he not save Songshan Fort? Ben Khan wanted to step up his attack on Songshan Fort and let Ming Emperor rescue..." Huang Taiji didn't notice how terrible his voice was, and he still said in a very "gentle" voice that he thought was.

"By the master, the Han people have been ashore for five or six days now. Even if the master quickly sends news to Liaoyang, he is afraid that Liaoyang will also be in the way of the Han people. The Han people only need to continue to tease and lure my Dajin group to the vicinity of Sancha River. I Dajin will definitely be defeated by a crushing defeat... Once my Dajin suffered a crushing defeat in Sancha River, the master will not want to go to Sancha River. This is the Ming Dynasty's move..." Fan Wencheng quickly figured out the whole story of the matter. First, he cut off the news and made Shengjing, Liaoyang and Huangtaiji lose contact. Once he loses contact, Liaoyang, Shengjing, and Huangtaiji, he must send someone to pass.

Come and investigate, how could those who investigated have been teased by the Ming Dynasty? Even if there is nothing wrong with Huang Taiji, Liaoyang and Shengjing, it will definitely not be able to hold back. It must be chasing. As long as you chase, the consequences are self-evident. Since the Ming Dynasty dared to shore on the Sancha River and lead people to Sancha River, how could it be unprepared? The people who went there are probably many good luck. Once the Dajin lost too much in the Sancha River, Huang Taiji could still sit in Songshan Fort? Huang Taiji could sit, Liaoyang and Shengjing could sit? Although there was only one Dajin Khan, there were still several Dabeile sitting in the south. The news was delivered to the south. Whether it worked or not, it would be two more...

"Bang..." The Qianli mirror in Huang Taiji's hand suddenly slid down and fell to the ground for some reason. Looking at Huang Taiji's face again, it was as terrible as if it were dead.
