In this era, the city gate is the lifeline of the city.

Once the city gate is breached, both the city defense and the military morale within the city will have a huge negative impact.

At this time, the morale of the Ming army was as high as a rainbow, and then the Jin army did not have many troops to defend. With the breakthrough of the city gate, these Tatars did not dare to fight anymore. They did not even care about their wives and children, and they rushed to escape.

escape.

Li Yuanqing did not send anyone to chase them and let them leave.

But Fuzhou is a big city, and there are always some people in the city who cannot see the situation clearly. The sporadic fighting continued until noon, and then it ended.

Shunzi and a dozen generals came out of the city to welcome Li Yuanqing and his party into the city.

Since it was a Ming army raid, Lao Nu's evacuation plan had not been fully implemented at this time. Not only were a large number of Tatar family members left in the city, but there were also nearly 20,000 civilians and a lot of property.

These things have naturally become the private property of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong. Of course, the two supervisors are also indispensable for the property.

Around 1:00 p.m., the two main forces entered the city in full force and quickly started various tasks in the city.

In Li Yuanqing's plan, Fuzhou, including the vast area around Fuzhou, will become a battlefield, because Li Yuanqing is not sure how long this war will last, and how much money will be laid by Houjin.

chips.

Therefore, it is impossible for these people in the city, including people in the surrounding areas, to stay in this area.

Once the situation was under control, the relocation of the people in the city began.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong had already done their homework before, and the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers already had slogans, 'Fuzhou City is dangerous, and the Tatars will definitely launch brutal revenge. How about retreating to the Liaohai Sea and taking refuge with Mao's army?

, have food and drink, live and work in peace and contentment?'

If there are really people who don't know how to praise, Li Yuanqing will not be polite. If he can dissuade them, he will try his best to dissuade them. If he really can't dissuade them, Li Yuanqing can only give them a ride.

In this state, compared with the overall situation, an individual's life is really insignificant.

At the same time, Li Yuanqing also sent fast horses to quickly contact Nanxinkou, and ordered Xu Heizi's 3000 Corps to land directly and start transporting various supplies.

The city of Fuzhou was destroyed, and the Tatars near Nanxinkou had lost their support and were out of control. If they wanted to force their way, the men would be happy to give them a ride, and by the way, they could cut off some of their heads in exchange for merit.

The overall strategic situation had been laid out before, and Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang had no objections and quickly began to implement it.

On the other hand, several waves of messengers quickly rushed to Lushun and Pidao, informing Mao Wenlong and Zhang Pan of the information ahead in the shortest possible time.

Fuzhou City is like a huge and slow machine, running day and night.

…………

Three days later, in Shenyang City, Lao Nu also received the news that Fuzhou had been conquered.

The renovation of the 'Imperial Palace' in Shenyang City has not been completed yet, but the old slave can't wait to move in.

At this time, in the main hall of the meeting, dozens of princes, Baylor, leaders and generals were standing on both sides with their heads bowed, not daring to breathe.

Damn it.

Spring has just started a few days ago, and they haven't taken any action yet. Liaonan dares to take the lead in attacking. This, this is simply not taking them seriously.

The old slave looked very tired. After all, he was no longer young. The fierce battle last night had consumed most of his energy. He wanted to have a good sleep today, but he was awakened by the news before dawn.

The old slave had a gloomy face and glanced at everyone coldly.

No one dared to meet his gaze, and they lowered their heads more respectfully, for fear of offending his taboo.

"snort."

After a long time, the old slave suddenly snorted coldly, "What's wrong? Are you mute? Are you scared out of your wits by this Li Yuanqing?"

Dai Shan hurriedly walked out carefully and said: "Khan Ama, Li Yuanqing is despicable and insidious. This time he took Fuzhou very decisively. I am afraid that he went through far-reaching planning. We must make a decision before taking action."

The last defensive battle in Lushun suffered heavy losses, and Daishan also gained a good memory, but he hated Li Yuanqing to the core. At this time, it was naturally impossible to let Li Yuanqing go.

It's just that Daishan is cunning and knows what to say at this time.

On the side, Amin and Mang Gurtai were dumbfounded.

Although they are also big Baylors, the lessons learned in the Lushun defense battle are not without hardship. Especially Amin, who has not been able to catch his breath until now. Although he wishes he could eat Li Yuanqing's flesh and blood raw, at this time, he does not dare to do so easily.

He expressed his stance, fearing that the old slave would send him to southern Liaoning to encircle and suppress Li Yuanqing.

The old slave glanced at Daishan lightly, but did not speak, but looked at Huang Taiji beside him.

Huang Taiji's expression was quite solemn. Of course he saw the old slave's gaze. He thought for a moment and then said: "Khan Ama, Li Yuanqing is brave and resourceful. Although the four guards in southern Liaoning are not of much use to us,

This momentum cannot be avoided and must be eradicated as soon as possible.”

The old slave nodded.

This year, Hou Jin's momentum is generally in good condition. He didn't want to make too big a move. After all, he is old and has suffered a lot in his life. It's time to enjoy it.

But no matter what, Li Yuanqing gave him a 'big gift' first, how could he not accept it?

But he was not in good health at this time and had no intention of recruiting Li Yuanqing himself, so he could only choose a candidate among his sons.

"What do you think?" The old slave looked into Huang Taiji's eyes.

Among his sons, Daishan is mature and prudent, but lacks enterprising spirit. Although Amin and Manggurtai are brave, they are too brave and cannot reassure the old slave. The seventh child, Abatai, is brave and resourceful.

, It's a pity that his status is too low to convince the public. Twelve, fourteen, and fifteen are still too young, so the only one left is the calm but decisive Lao Ba.

How could Huang Taiji still not understand what the old slave meant? He knelt down and kowtowed respectfully and said: "Khan Ama, we can no longer let Li Yuanqing develop like this. This time, I am willing to lead the troops to eradicate this problem for Khan Ama.

.”

The old slave nodded, with a slight smile on his wrinkled old face, "Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong have nearly ten thousand people. I will give you 50 Niulu. I hope you will not disappoint me."

Huang Taiji quickly kowtowed, "Yes."

…………

In Fuzhou City, it was already March 17 when Li Yuanqing received the news that Hou Jin had sent troops.

In the past ten days, most of the clearing work on the Fuzhou City side has been basically completed. Various materials on the Changsheng Island side were also transported to the city in an assembly line like ants moving.

Nanxinkou is less than a hundred miles away from Fuzhou. Even without mules and horses, the auxiliary soldiers can transport them back and forth in three days, so the pressure is not too great.

On the other hand, the processing of Fuzhou's population is a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing was prepared in advance and took these people to Nanxinkou for a brief screening and then sent them directly to Pi Island.

It's not that Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong don't want to keep these manpower, it's just that the war is approaching and neither of them has the energy to take care of it. The resettlement work is quite complicated and complicated, so it is more appropriate to leave it to Mao Wenlong.

After all, Pidao had more talents and perfect methods. It was Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhongshi's hard work to hand over these people and report to the court. It was also a strategy that had the best of both worlds.

As a result, the area of ​​hundreds of miles near Fuzhou, except for the city and Yangguan Fort, has basically become a no-man's land.

As for Jinzhou, Zhang Pan did not hesitate. On March 10th, his Lushun troops also mobilized in large numbers and successfully captured Jinzhou, echoing Fuzhou.

At this time, Fuzhou City had turned into a huge construction site.

According to intelligence from the front, it will probably take another day for the main force of the Hou Jin Dynasty to arrive in Fuzhou. This is also the last day for Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong to prepare.

The injured west gate had already been repaired. Not only that, several trenches had been dug around Fuzhou City, connected with the moat and river, turning Fuzhou into a semi-water city.

Almost all the buildings in the city, including the government offices, were demolished and used for repairs and repairs to the city. The remaining space was used to store grain and supplies.

Although the workload of the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers was very heavy, this was by no means a time to spare manpower. Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were basically supervising the battle on the front line.

As the main force of Hou Jin approached, the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers also felt the sudden increase in pressure and worked harder.

Three days later, various flags of the Hou Jin army appeared in the wilderness to the north as promised.

It is already March 20th, and even the north wind is no longer so cold. The sound it makes when it blows on people's bodies is much softer.

On the top of the North Gate city, Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, Wei Liang, Zhang Qiliang, and dozens of main generals from the two divisions were observing the movements of the main force of the Hou Jin army on the front line.

Generals like Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong have nothing to do with it. War has long been integrated into their blood and has become the most important part of their lives.

But Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang had nervous faces. Li Yuanqing was very close to the two of them, and he could clearly feel that their bodies were shaking. The smell of urine, which was not too strong in the first place, was much stronger than usual.

‘These two pickled guys, couldn’t they have peed?’ Li Yuanqing secretly speculated in his mind.

Next to him, Chen Zhong glanced at Li Yuanqing and seemed to mean the same thing.

Wei Liang also felt that his performance was too calm, so he hurriedly said: "General Li, will these Tatars attack the city today?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Master Supervisor, the Tatars must be tired after coming from a long distance. They also need to rest and recuperate. They should not attack the city today."

"Oh? Not attacking the city? That's good, that's good."

Wei Liang was obviously relieved, and Zhang Qiliang felt as if he had been granted amnesty, and his arms were obviously much more stable.

Chen Zhong looked forward with a smile and said: "Wang Qi without the old slave, the old guy didn't come. I don't know who will lead the army this time."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who leads the army, as long as we get here, don't even think about asking for favors. I can't wait any longer."

Chen Zhong couldn't help but laugh, "It's best if we catch a real Baylor royal family this time."

Li Yuanqing responded with a smile, but his eyes were fixed on the white flag of Wang Qi not far away.

…………

On the opposite side, Huang Taiji, Daishan, and Mang Gurtai, also surrounded by dozens of Eight Banners generals, were sizing up the situation in Fuzhou City.
