"Um?"

Not to mention Governor Yuan and the generals of Guan Ning's army who were watching Man Gui's "performance", even Man Gui had no time to think and rushed into the city, jumped off his horse and quickly ran to the top of the city to investigate.

Condition.

At this time, standing in the direction of the south gate of Ningyuan City, I saw that in the huge Houjin Army camp, Lao Nu’s royal flags, including straight yellow, bordered yellow, straight white, straight blue, straight red and other flags, were flying.

It is slowly moving towards the north at a speed visible to the naked eye.

They were not afraid of the Ming army seeing them at all. It seemed that they were deliberately trying to show off to the Ming army.

"Sir, what do the Dog Tartars want to do? Is it possible that they, they really want to retreat?"

Next to Governor Yuan, Lieutenant General Zuo Fu could not help but frown tightly, staring in the direction of the Jin Army's royal flag behind this large area.

But they hadn't left the camp yet, and they couldn't see the details clearly under the cover of the tent.

Governor Yuan was also a little surprised.

This, this cannot be done!

With the experience of personally commanding battle formations these days, Commander Yuan's military literacy is also growing rapidly in all aspects.

In the past few days, although the offensive of the main force of the Jin army seemed fierce, in many cases, the thunder was loud and the raindrops were light. There seemed to be many tricks, but in fact, they were few.

Governor Yuan already knew very well that they had not used all their strength, and if they were even slightly damaged, they would retreat soon.

This, what on earth is going on?

On the side, Lieutenant General Zhu Mei hurriedly said: "Sir, this is probably a cover-up trick by the Tatars. They don't know what tricks they are playing! We must be on guard!"

Zu Dashou also nodded and said: "Yes. Sir, the Tatars are coming quickly and cunningly. This is probably a bait for the Tatars to induce our main force to go into battle! We must be more vigilant!"

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

Man Gui also understood something at this time. The Tatar army was very solemn. It seemed that something bad had happened. Could it be that because of the defeat on Juehua Island, Li Yuanqing directly made the old slave angry to death?

?

Man Gui suddenly had a clever idea in his heart.

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was very possible!

After all, the old slave is almost seventy years old. The weather is so bad, and he suddenly encounters such an angry thing, it is inevitable that something unexpected will happen.

However, Man Gui is by no means the kind of person who has no thoughts. Before there is definite information, he naturally does not dare to talk nonsense about such an 'unnatural' matter.

He said hurriedly: "Isn't it easy to know? Wait until I take a rest and go for another wave of formations, then we will find out!"

Zhu Mei and Zu Dashou looked at each other, and Zu Dashou nodded slightly.

Zhu Mei hurriedly smiled and said: "Sir, this is a good plan. General Man is so brave that it is most appropriate for him to test the Jin army's reaction."

Yuan Chonghuan also recovered from the shock at this time. Until now, this can only be the case.

After a moment, he looked at Man Gui and said: "Man Gui, I leave this matter to you! You must remember that you must not be reluctant to fight. Everything is for the purpose of testing. If the situation is not right, you must retreat in time!"

"Yes!" Man Gui couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly bowed respectfully to Governor Yuan and hurried down to prepare.

All the generals of the Guan Ning Army on the city wall fixed their gazes on the royal flags of the Hou Jin Army.

Soon, Mangui had packed up, but this time, in order to allow the horses to rotate and rest, he only brought less than 500 fine cavalry, rushing like the wind towards the west of Houjin Army's camp, where Wang Qi would leave.

past!

such a pity!

This time Mangui was not so lucky. Before he could get close to the Houjin Army camp, thousands of elite cavalrymen of various banners and almost six or seven Niulu came out in a hurry.

When Man Gui saw this, he wondered how he dared to fight. He quickly turned his horse around and fled back towards the south gate of Ningyuan City with his elite cavalry.

At this time, Governor Yuan and his party on the top of the city also felt the Hou Jin army's determination on this matter, and couldn't help but whisper.

Zuo Fu said: "That's not possible! What on earth do they want to do? Could it be that something happened in their army?"

Zuo Fu said, his mind suddenly brightened, and he quickly looked at Governor Yuan and said, "Sir, could it be, could it be the old slave's body..."

Governor Yuan's heart also jumped violently.

He had thought about this before, but soon, he rejected the idea.

Although the old slave is already old, this old guy has always been in good health throughout his life as a soldier. What kind of battle has he not seen?

In this invasion of western Liaoning, they almost swept through everything except Ningyuan. Under Ningyuan City, they suffered almost no casualties, so how could they...

Could it be, could it be because of Juehua Island...

Governor Yuan suddenly cheered up as he saluted, but for a moment, he forced himself to dispel this thought. How could this be possible?

Juehua Island is a tiny place, and Li Yuanqing only has five thousand soldiers. Even with "God's help" and the ice on the sea cracked, the two sides basically did not fight. The weather is so cold, how could Li Yuanqing hurt the Hou Jin Army?

The main force, thus affecting the mood of the old slave?

"This matter is really weird. We must take strict precautions! We must not act rashly again!" After thinking for a long time, Inspector Yuan made a decision.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

"Your Excellency is wise! This is exactly the reason!"

"..."

Seeing the flattery around him, Governor Yuan felt happy again.

Who is Li Yuanqing, and how can he compete with him for credit?

Mangui quickly withdrew into the city and came back to the top of the city to observe the situation. Unfortunately, these six or seven Niulu's elite cavalry had been guarding the left wing of the Houjin army's camp, and snowflakes began to fall in the sky again.

, he really couldn't see the details of Houjinwang Banner behind it.

But since Jin Jingqi refused to retreat, Man Gui had no chance. If he went out to fight again, he would be making himself uncomfortable!

He could only be patient and stay on top of the city to see what happened.

…………

Time soon came to night, and the lights in the direction of Houjin Army's camp were brightly lit, and there didn't seem to be anything unusual at all.

Governor Yuan and everyone had been working through the whole day, and they were all a little tired. They simply held a summary meeting to prepare for the war, arranged the watch, and everyone went back to rest.

Although Mangui still wanted to watch from the top of the city to see what was going on, unfortunately, after a day of fighting, he was exhausted and had no choice but to go back to the camp to rest.

Everything seemed to be calm.

But at dawn the next morning, the gloomy snow cleared up a little, and the Ming soldiers on the city couldn't help but exclaimed!

"It's not good, it's not good! The Dog Tatars have retreated! The camp in front of us has become an empty camp!"

Even before Governor Yuan and everyone else got up, they were hurriedly woken up from their sleep by their personal guards and informed them of the news.

Inspector Yuan couldn't help being shocked and hurried to the south gate to inspect the situation.

pity!

The Houjin camp was already empty at this time. The military tents had been cleaned up long ago. Although many of the defensive fences and timbers had not been cleaned up yet, it was already in a mess. There was no trace of a human being anywhere.

All the generals of the Guan Ning Army also rushed here. Seeing this scene, they all couldn't help but stare with big eyes and dumbfounded.

"What the hell is going on? Are the dog Tatars retreating now?" Zu Dashou couldn't help but spit.

Wu Xiang's expression was also extremely complicated. He never dreamed that this offensive would have such a dramatic ending.

Governor Yuan calmed down at this time, "The Tatars can't retreat so easily! Let's go to the north gate and check the details!"

"yes!"

A group of Guan Ning generals also reacted and followed Governor Yuan one after another, rushing towards the north gate.

But before, in order to confuse the Ming army in the city and attack Juehua Island, the main force of the Jin army had withdrawn the North Gate camp two miles away, more than five miles north of Ningyuan City.

At this time, even if there is no wind or snow, it is difficult to find out the details of the Houjin camp.

Governor Yuan could only grit his teeth and said: "Go, send someone to investigate! Find out what is going on!"

"yes!"

Zu Dashou did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly called his soldiers to go to the front to check the situation. If the Jin army just ran away, then this matter would be serious!

They, Ning Yuancheng, are afraid that they will become a big joke!

Zu Dashou's soldiers are all the best among the best, much more elite than Mangui's soldiers!

After all, the ancestors have been working hard in western Liaoning for three generations. They need people and money. How can Mangui, who is a mud-legged and barbarian, compare with him?

Soon, more than a hundred soldiers hurriedly rode back, and they also kidnapped a Han cook with a Han army flag.

"My lord, my lord, the latest news, the latest news!"

One of the leading soldiers was Qian Hu, who hurriedly shouted loudly under the city gate.

Just looking at the expressions of the soldiers Qianhu, Zu Dashou already had a bad premonition in his heart, and he quickly winked at his confidants.

The confidant immediately understood and shouted hurriedly: "You come to the city first and report to the Lord face to face!"
