941 Panic
As the evening approached, the mobilization had been completed in Liaoyang City. There were many people on the top of the city, especially on the south side, which seemed to be facing a great enemy. Jianlu on the top of the city stared at the distance in the south without blinking.
The closed city gate would open from time to time, and the sound of subway hooves rumbled out of the city and quickly left, but the dust brought about was still permeated in the air.
In the lobby of the Liaoyang Guardian Mansion, a group of people are still arguing here.
"Master, you must send troops immediately. If it is too late, Anshan Post Fortress will be dangerous!"
"Master, the situation of the enemy ahead is not clear, so it is not advisable to act rashly. You should make a decision when you look for a horse and give it back!"
"Shut up, you are delaying military information!"
"You stopped talking and acted rashly, trying to kill the tribe members?"
“…”
Amin in the main position, look at this and that, and he really can't make a decision.
To be honest, the troops he now is his greatest reliance on the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the reason why Huang Taiji dared not touch him when he was in Shenyang before. Amin knew this very well. In theory, after receiving the military report, he should immediately rush to help. But he just sent a messenger to Chenyang. In addition, he sent a probe to the south. Although the army was being consolidated in Chenyang City, he had not taken the next move. From this point of view, he still tended to preserve his strength and wait until further news before making a decision.
A person in the debate suddenly turned his finger, gave up his opponent in the argument, and said to Amin directly: "The emperor has many taboos to his master. If the master does not move, the Anshan Post Castle will be lost, which will give the emperor an excuse. Master, no matter what, he must have the attitude he deserves!"
When Amin heard this, he was shocked and came to his senses. His subordinate said it well. If this is true, Huang Taiji might use this as an excuse to say that his ability is not enough to lead troops, and he may take the opportunity to deprive him of his military power.
Thinking of this, he reached out and slapped it, and suddenly the lobby became quiet.
Amin glanced at the bottom and shouted loudly: "Benbeile decided to send troops to reinforce Anshan Post Fort."
After saying that, he began to assign tasks, with the cavalry leading the way, and infantry following, regardless of the time, marched overnight. Be sure to arrive before the fall of Anshan Post Fortress, block the Ming army outside Anshan Post Fortress, and then have the confidence to complain to Huang Taiji and ask other flags to assist in defense.
With a command, the sunset dyed the sky in the west red, shining on the Liaoyang City, as if a layer of blood was poured on. The city gate opened again, and the cavalrymen rushed out of the city gate hole, carrying a piece of dust, and headed south again. After the cavalry, teams of infantrymen walked out of the dust and ate the cavalry's dust. The army marched, bringing more dust and spreading, almost covering the entire Liaoyang City.
Amin did not lead his troops to the battle himself, but he also came to the arrow tower at the top of the Nanmen City, eating dust, watching the troops who reinforced Anshan Post Fort leave, and at the same time, he thought to himself: The red cannon is indeed powerful, I hope to persevere until the reinforcements arrive! Otherwise, without the Anshan Post Fort, there would be no danger on the road to Liaoyang. Fifty thousand Ming troops flocked in, and the reinforcements he sent out would be in danger.
Thinking of this, he felt that he could no longer delay, so he wanted to turn his head and order, Bimo served him, and sent another 800-li express messenger to Huang Taiji. But at this moment, a personal guard next to him suddenly shouted in surprise: "There is a horse being sent back!"
When Amin heard this, he quickly turned around and looked. Sure enough, he saw a team of cavalry flying in the distance to the south. Behind them, more dust could be seen, and obviously more cavalry were there.
Suddenly, Amin's heart tightened and felt a little bad. When he looked closely, he got closer. He could see the knights riding back to Liaoyang, all of whom were panicking, and seemed to be shouting something along the way. The reinforcements heading towards Anshan Yibao stopped one after another.
Could it be... Did the Anshan Post Fort fall? Amin thought to himself, feeling a little unimaginable. Considering the distance, if you speculate in this way, wouldn't the Ming army have won the Anshan Post Fortress be defeated without much time?
Even if there were red barbarian cannons, it would take time to attack the city. How could it be so fast? Amin was full of doubts. He stared at the outside, but became more and more convinced that the Anshan Post Fort was really defeated. Because he had ordered that if Anshan Post Fort had no time to rescue, the reinforcements sent out must return as soon as possible to avoid encountering 50,000 Ming troops on the road. At this time, he saw that when the galloping horses came, the reinforcements stopped first, then turned around and returned to Liaoyang.
Not long after, the horse snatched to Amin and reported unhurriedly: "Master, the Ming army has captured the Anshan Post Fort!"
"What, why is it so fast?" Although Amin was prepared, he was still shocked and asked quickly, "What is the specific situation of the battle?"
These horses were informed by the Qing soldiers who escaped from Anshan Post Fort. Because they were both alone and two horses, they could come back to report first. Before they saw the specific situation of the battle, they reported the news that the defeated soldiers heard to Amin.
Amin did not go to the previous Battle of Gaizhou and did not know much about the new army. However, when the detective described that the new army used the formation of the Qi family army, Amin recalled the bloody battle of the Hunhe that year. At that time, he was by Nurhaci and had seen the might of the Qi family army. When he heard that there was such an army in the Ming army, his shocking mood was imaginable.
Unexpectedly, this was not over yet. The Exploser reported that the Ming army had an additional firearm that they had never seen before. They could shoot without ignition of a fuse, and rarely exploded. It was very powerful. Many Qing warriors fell under such firearms.
Amin was a little panicked when he heard this, and quickly asked the Ming army if they had the intention to pursue the horse overnight, but they did not get the answer to the horse. He did not dare to bet on this, so he quickly sent an order to ask the troops leaving the city to reinforce the army to return to Liaoyang City quickly. At the same time, he immediately wrote a letter, preparing to send 800 miles to Shenyang to seek help again.
However, before he could send the letter, the messenger from Shenyang found him first. Amin knew Shenyang's decision half a day later than Emperor Chongzhen, and was overjoyed. Now, he would not have to bear it alone in the face of the invading Ming army, but the entire Qing Dynasty would take it. If he could defeat the Ming army, he might even turn defeat into victory and seize Ningyuan Jinzhou, which had never been taken before.
Upon receiving this news, Amin's mind began to turn around again.
