May 28, Dalinghe City.

"Sen, how does that little Han widow you stole last night?" A Tartar soldier on duty leaned against the wall and asked another Tartar on the side.

"Don't mention Tari, that girl is very fierce. She stabbed her neck with scissors. Mad is unlucky!" The Tartar guard looked depressed.

"How! Who is under the city?" The two of them chatted blankly, and a team of ragged cavalry came from a distance. Seeing that the formation seemed to be a defeated soldier, the two guards immediately took a cautious attitude.

"I am Zu Dashou, the garrison of Jinzhou. Jinzhou City was captured by the bandits. Open the city gate and let us enter the city to repair it!" Zu Dashou's forehead was wrapped with blood-seeking white scrolls, looking very injured.

All of the thousands and eight hundred cavalrymen behind him were injured and abandoned their armor.

"What? Jinzhou is lost?" The Tartars, named Sain, were stunned.

Jinzhou is the western gate of the Qing Dynasty. The fall of Ningyuan a few days ago had already made them frightened. Now Jinzhou, which is heavily guarded by heavy troops, has also fallen into the opponent... Oh my God!

"It turned out to be the Han general who defected from the pseudo-Ming in Jinzhou. He knew that this dog was useless except to defeat the battle. Mad, Sain, go and report to General Udir!" The young general on duty named Tari muttered.

He seemed to know Zu Dashou. Although he looked contemptuous, he still asked his colleagues to communicate with each other while ordering the soldiers on duty under the city to open the city gate.

"Run in, leaving two hundred people to guard the city gate, and the rest follow me to take the general's mansion!" Zu Dashou saw the city gate open wide, shouted behind him in a low voice, and then rode forward.

Before several Tartars who pushed open the city gate could react, they were stabbed by Zu Dashou several times.

Blood splattered Zu Dashou's face, and his gray beard turned red, but he didn't care. After wiping his face, he rushed into the city with hundreds of his subordinates.

"Sir, Zu Dashou succeeded!" Sniper Yang Tianbao put down the telescope in his hand and turned to report to Liu Hongjian behind the valley.

"Brothers, remember my Ming Dynasty slogan, kill all the Tartars, let me go, and rush!" Liu Hongjian yelled at the Ming Dynasty cavalry who had been patient behind him for a long time.

"Kill--" Countless cavalrymen pulled out their battle knives, and the silver light rippled, rushed towards the Daling River City not far away.

"Enemy attack - enemy attack!" The young Tartar on the wall finally realized that he had been slandered, but he had only had time to let out his last shout.

Bang - Yang Tianbao's AKM on the soil slope shook a stream of dust, and the Tartar soldiers on the city wall fell down.

Dalinghe City then staged a scene from Jinzhou City last night, but there were less than 5,000 defenders in Dalinghe City. The entire battle began in a hurry and ended quite simply.

Only an hour later, there was no more Tartars standing in the city.

"Fortunately, the sinner general Zu Dashou did not humiliate his life!" Zu Dashou, covered in blood, held the head of the guard general Wudier of Daling River in his hand, lifted up his armor and knelt down.

In order to attack the residence of the Daling River guard, Zu Dashouti took the lead with a sword and rushed forward. He would chop the Tartars when he met him, and even fought for his life.

There were several cracks on his armor, all of which were broken by the Tartar swords, and there were at least three wounds all over his body. This wound was no longer the previous disguise, because the hem of the armor was still dripping with blood.

"Father!" Liu Hongjian frowned and before he could speak, Zu Qiuqing behind him couldn't help but shout in a low voice.

Zu Dashou was over 50 years old. At this age, he was already a veritable old man in the Ming Dynasty. However, in order to make up for his merits and to justify his reputation, Zu Dashou was also a hard work.

"Why are you doing this? Please get up quickly, come and bandage General Zu!"

Liu Hongjian originally wanted to go forward and help him, but Zu Dashou seemed to have taken a blood bath. He realized this himself, threw the head of the Tartar guard to the ground and stood up and retreated.

Dalinghe City was taken down neatly. Some of the soldiers in the team who participated in the Jinzhou invasion last night were too tired and were left in Dalinghe by Liu Hongjian and guarding the city for the time being waiting for Huang Degong.

He himself led the remaining 20,000 soldiers toward the city of Yizhou in the north.

Huang Degong didn't sleep all night last night, and now he has become very tired after adding these many wounds.

After this battle, more than 2,000 Zu family troops who followed him across the country died in battle, but they did not say much, and went on the Ma Xianming army silently.

With the cooperation of Zu Dashou, the Ming army defeated Yizhou on the evening of the 28th and Guangning on the 29th. Three more days, Chongzhen led the remaining troops of the Northern Expedition Army to meet with Liu Hongjian in Guangning City.

Since then, Jianlu has no strong city to defend in the west of Liaodong.

On the second day of June, more than 70,000 northern expedition troops headed east from Guangning, broke through Zhenning, Longwan, and Pingyang Fort, and captured Xining Fort on the sixth day of June.

Xining Fort is bordered by the Liao River and is located in a sharp turn in the Liao River. It originally traveled south into the Liao River, which was like twisting its waist in Xining Fort, so it is also called Twist Fort or Sirloo Fort.

Due to the buffer formed by sharp turns, the downstream of the Twisted Fort is the most gentle place in the Liaohe River and the most suitable place to cross the river.

But at this moment, Liu Hongjian encountered extremely difficult problems.

No boat!

Not only were there no boats, but there were still 100,000 Tartar soldiers waiting for a long time on the other side of the river!

Liu Hongjian had been wondering before that, logically, at the speed of the Tartar cavalry, they should have met a few days ago.

For this reason, Liu Hongjian ordered the whistle cavalry to search for thirty miles more, but it was still fruitless.

"Youming, now there is a blockade of the Liaohe River, and there is a 100,000 army of Jianlu to wait for work. What if it does?" Although Chongzhen did not know how to command the battle, he also saw the embarrassment of the Ming army now.

When the ship was used, I hated me for a little while. Chongzhen suddenly felt that Liu Hongjian’s suggestion was right. The Ming Dynasty needed more treasure shipyards, and the Ming Dynasty could not have warships.

But far water cannot quench near thirst, so the problem lies here. Chongzhen can only ask Liu Hongjian, who has always been "resourceful".

"This... I am also helpless!" Liu Hongjian could only spread his hands.

This Jianlu is also a thief. He knows that they no longer have any advantage in the field battle. Even if they cross the Liao River, they may not be able to withstand the attacks of the Ming army's muskets and cannons.

It would be better to confront the Ming army directly with the Liaohe River. Ajige and Jirgalang had already made this plan, and a hundred thousand troops were stationed in various shallows in the Liaohe River.

Before they knew it, the offense and defense actually changed positions.

In the past few decades, the Ming army was attacked by Jianlu, but now the Ming army, which was never good at field attacks, was unstoppable.

On the contrary, the Eight Banners soldiers, who claimed to be invincible, became the defending side, which is really sad.

But a good wife cannot cook without rice, and there is no boat!

What should I do if there is no ship? You can't let these soldiers swim over, right?

Where is the gun? Where is the paper shell? Where is the cannon?

"Sir, there is a Seme man named Malachi who wants to see you. He said he came from Pi Island to report important matters!"
