At the same time, people who had the same question as Jiang Wan were also asking the person in front of them.

The person who asked the question was Belabatai, the seventh son of Houjin Nurhaci, and the person in front of him looked like a Ming Dynasty man.

This is his son-in-law, Li Yongfang, the third-class deputy general of the Han Army Banner of the Zhenglan Banner, who is also the garrison general of the Malanyu Army Fortress.

Huang Taiji led his army to attack Dalinghe and took away almost all the elites of the Eight Banners. Although Abatai was a veteran on the battlefield, he had always been the kind of person who talked a lot and complained a lot, especially after Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne.

When he went to war with his father, he only sealed one Baylor. Looking at the high-spirited Baylors, Abate's weird words came one after another.

Therefore, he was somewhat disliked by Huang Taiji, and even somewhat ignored.

And this time when the army went out, a man like him who was sitting on the bench would naturally stay in Shengjing. No one expected that at this time, a Ming army would take advantage of the emptiness of Shengjing to come to seek death, so Abatai would naturally do his part.

As Baylor, he commanded the Shengjing garrison.

Today, in addition to the six Niulu soldiers and horses from Zhenglan Banner under his command, the current Shengjing garrison only has four Niulu soldiers from Zhenghuang Banner left to guard Shengjing.

But until the critical moment, he had no intention of moving the four Niu Lu who stayed in Shengjing. Moreover, even if he wanted to, he had no courage to do so. With the army outside, he had his hands on the soldiers and horses of Zhenghuang Banner, even though it was against Ming Ming.

But even if you win, you still lose.

When the army reorganized, what Huang Taiji definitely cared about was not the failure of the Ming army, but the fact that he actually moved the Zhenghuang Banner troops and horses he had left behind in Shengjing.

Therefore, the soldiers and horses he can use are basically the six elite Manchu Eight Banners under his command, nearly two thousand Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry, and the soldiers and horses of the Han Army Banners left behind in Shengjing by each banner!

But Abatai distrusted and looked down upon these people who held the Han Army Banner.

Except Li Yongfang.

By the way, there is also Fan Wencheng.

Li Yongfang was his son-in-law, and he was also the first general in the Ming Dynasty to defect to Houjin. He used to be the imperial officer of Fushun Qianhusuo. After surrendering to Houjin, he was directly promoted to a third-class deputy general, and Nurhaci even granted him a marriage himself.

, married Abate's daughter to him.

Therefore, Abate's list of contempt does not include his son-in-law.

Even if the Ming army did not come, the defender of Malanyu was still Li Yongfang. Regarding this, not only Abatai wanted to know the origin of this Ming army, but Li Yongfang also wanted to know.

"It's basically confirmed that it's the Ming army from Pidao!" Li Yongfang looked like a warrior, looking a bit dull: "The number is around ten thousand, and Obai with the yellow flag was defeated by this army.

I don’t know whether I will live or die!”

"If there is anyone who doesn't know life or death, he would have died a long time ago!" Abata snorted: "As for the Guarjia family, only Obai is considered a promising person. This is because he was not lucky, but it is a pity, and

The Wei Qi he went with is dead, and I don’t care at all!"

"These days, our scouts have fought against their scouts many times, and the feeling is no different from before!"

Li Yongfang frowned and said: "If there is no difference from before, Ao Bai and the others will not even come back with a report!"

"Can't we get any information from Zhenjiang Fort?" Abatai asked.

"We can't find out!" Li Yongfang shook his head: "So, tomorrow my son-in-law plans to send someone to find out their details!"

"No need!" Abatai shook his head: "It's not your turn to test the other party. Let Li Sizhong and Fan Wencheng do it. They have been deprived of my queen's money for so long, so they should be allowed to do it for us.

Show your strength!"

Li Sizhong was the guard of another military fort, Panjiakou, and belonged to the Han Army Banner, which Abatai looked down upon. However, Abatai was still very important to the overall situation. Even if he looked down upon him, the two military forts, Malanyu and Panjiakou, were

They are the gateways to Shengjing, and they echo each other. If any one of them is lost, it will affect the situation of the war.

Therefore, he sent Fan Wencheng there to be the opponent's deputy general.

Li Sizhong is a staff general and Fan Wencheng is a hereditary guerrilla. This arrangement is reasonable and reasonable. However, compared with Li Sizhong, Fan Wencheng is much more important in Abatai's heart, even if the other party's official position is lower than that of the other party.

In Abate's eyes, Fan Wencheng was one of his own just like his son-in-law, while Li Sizhong was just a surrendered slave.

Masters and slaves are naturally treated differently.

"Remember to capture a few prisoners!" Abatai planned to leave: "Otherwise, when the Great Khan comes back in the future and reports his military exploits, he won't know which bright dog we defeated!"

When the military fortress in front could be seen from a distance, the Ming army began to dig trenches again.

Having had the experience of digging trenches under Zhenjiang Fort, the Ming army seemed to be very skilled at digging trenches this time. Not only did they dig well, but they also reserved passages for soldiers to enter and exit.

On the first day, only the prototype of a trench was dug.

The next day, the trench was deepened, raised, and connected.

If many soldiers of the Ming army were still complaining about the first trench digging, then no one in the Ming army was talking nonsense about the trench digging this time.

As long as you put in a little effort, you can avoid directly facing the almost invincible charge of the Tatar cavalry. It's nothing to be tired.

As long as the Tatars can't rush over, there will naturally be an artillery team behind them that can fire thousands of cannons to kill them.

After Zhenjiang Fort, the Ming army had inexplicable confidence in the artillery team. The scene of landslides and ground cracks that could destroy half of the city wall was really impressive. No one thought that the flesh and blood of the Tatars could withstand the artillery team.

These guys fired the shells.

Of course, the premise is not to let them get close.

But this time when trenching was being dug, the enemies in the military fort were extremely cooperative. When they were at Zhenjiang Fort, cavalry came out to harass during the day, and scouts came out at night. However, this time the enemy was clearly on alert, but it was the only one who came out to harass.

No.

"idiot!"

Fan Wencheng looked at the Ming army in the distance as busy as ants, with a disdainful smile on his face: "I seem to know how Obai and the others were defeated!"

"Huh?" Li Sizhong stood beside him: "How to say it!"

"In front of such a huge ditch, Obai's cavalry has no effect at all. Apart from dismounting and fighting to the death with the Ming army, he can only harass the Ming army from a distance!" Fan Wencheng said confidently: "Obai has a bad temper, and he will not sit back and watch the Ming army.

If the army shows off its power in front of him, it is understandable that it falls into the trap of the Ming army!"

"We are facing the same enemy army!" Li Sizhong said with a serious face: "It's not stupid, I think this stupid method of the Ming army will not be of much use when facing the army of the Great Khan.

It’s enough for a thousand soldiers to go in, but right now, it’s still very troublesome for us!”

"Is it troublesome?" Fan Wencheng laughed: "The elite soldiers with the yellow flag are cavalry, but our Han army flag doesn't have many cavalry. These trenches are actually the same to the Ming army and to us!"

A smile appeared on his lips: "That's why I said they were stupid!"

"Master Baylor wants us to go to war! Let's try their quality!" Li Sizhong looked at him: "Are you going or should I go?"
