Yuan Yingtai discovered that he really shouldn't have taken over the position of Liaodong's strategy, which was a disaster for the battle situation in Liaodong!

In the past, Xiong Tingbi was fine when he was there. As long as he did not rely on Qingliu and Donglin's support, Xiong Tingbi would not make things boring. If he couldn't get along with him, there would be no problem with the two of them to cooperate.

Now, as soon as Xiong Tingbi left, Liaodong was in chaos.

The powerful generals under Xiong Tingbi not only did not cooperate with him, but also kept scolding him.

He was scolded for his shameless death for seizing power!

He is really more unfair than Dou E!

Xiong Tingbi resigned in anger, and it really had nothing to do with him.

He never impeached Xiong Tingbi, and no one from Qingliu or Donglin had ever impeached Xiong Tingbi. This was completely a remnant of the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party that was biting a dog!

Yao Zongwen, Liu Guojin, Wei Yingjia and others, those who impeach Xiong Tingbi really have nothing to do with him. These are all remnants of the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party. Who in the court knows?

However, Xiong Tingbi's powerful general just didn't listen to his explanation.

These people are basically just stubborn and straight, and only know how to be loyal and not very good at officialdom.

They all thought that Xiong Tingbi's resignation was caused by Yuan Yingtai, so they were all very rude to Yuan Yingtai, and no one treated him as the commander.

Yuan Yingtai went to Shenyang to inspect defense, but no one paid attention to him.

Yuan Yingtai went to Fushun front line to visit the soldiers, but no one paid attention to him.

Not only did the orders he issued were not obeyed, but people also kept mocking him.

For example, when he saw that the Fushun front line had thin defense facilities, he ordered people to build some simple fortresses to prevent the Jiannu cavalry from raiding.

The front-line generals said directly that he knew nothing. If the Jiannu cavalry really came, they would use nothing to build a fortress. They would just go around and cut off the food road, so they could only guard the fortress and wait for death. Why bother in vain?

For example, when the Fushun front defenders retreated, he ordered the Shenyang defenders to accept them to strengthen Shenyang's defense.

The two generals in Shenyang City said directly that he was in command.

You should know that the grain in Shenyang is only about 100,000 shi. If the existing 20,000 defenders in the city can hold on for half a year. If all the remnants and defeated soldiers who retreated from the front line are taken over, they will lose food if they can't hold on for two months!

The difference between these two months and six months is too big.

Because, within two months, it would be impossible for the court to mobilize reinforcements from all over the country. At that time, they would still fight alone and starve to death in the city.

But it will be different if you stick to it for half a year. The court will definitely gather reinforcements from all walks of life to reinforce Shenyang. At that time, the inside and the outside will defeat Jiannu in one fell swoop.

This is true, and Yuan Yingtai could not refute it. He could only retreat to his old nest, Liaoyang, and no longer "blind command" in the defense areas of Xiong Tingbi and other powerful generals.

As a result, Shenyang was really surrounded by the Jiannu army!

Logically speaking, Jiannu, who has 20,000 people and less than 80,000 defense, will not be a problem as long as there are no fatal mistakes in the event of a fatal mistake.

However, Yuan Yingtai was still afraid that Shenyang would be in trouble. After much thought, he decided to mobilize various troops to go to the periphery of Shenyang to support him. As a result, people scolded him for not understanding the art of military affairs. Jiannu was surrounding the site to fight for help. You also asked all the troops to support him. Aren't you delivering vegetables?

The powerful generals under Xiong Tingbi all believed that they could not support Shenyang before gathering superior forces, otherwise they would be defeated by Jiannu's plot.

Question, where did Yuan Yingtai go to gather superior forces?

There are only a total of 100,000 Ming troops in Liaodong at this time, 20,000 in Chenyang City, 20,000 in Liaoyang City, and 60,000 left. More than 10,000 people and horses can be drawn at most forty thousand people, while Jiannu is now almost eighty thousand people.

There was no way, he could only wait for reinforcements.

He waited for some reinforcements, and the Baigan soldiers of the Sichuan Army and the Qi family army in Zhejiang rushed over from all the way.

However, at this moment, bad news suddenly came from the front line. The guards of Chenyang, generals He Shixian and You Shigong both died in battle, and Chenyang City was in danger!

It turned out that the general He Shixian was greedy for me and led his army out of the city to fight Jiannu in the field. As a result, he was ambushed by Jiannu. Although he fought hard to break through, he was chased by Jiannu all the way to the city, and was about to be beaten to death.

Seeing this, General You Shigong hurriedly led his troops out of the city to rescue him. As a result, both of them died outside the city!

Now, if you don’t go to save it, it’s really over!

Yuan Yingtai hurriedly ordered the generals Tong Zhongkui and Chen Ce to lead the Baigan soldiers of the Sichuan Army and the Qi family army to support, and ordered the generals of Fengji Fort and Hupiyi in the Liaochen line to quickly send troops to cooperate.

As a result, when General Tong Zhongkui and Chen Ce led their troops to arrive at the south bank of Hunhe River less than ten miles south of Chenyang City, Chenyang City had been broken, while other reinforcements were scrambling to see each other.

At this time, if they retreated to Liaoyang, perhaps the situation in Liaodong could be stabilized. After all, with the two elite troops of Bai Gan soldiers and Qi's army, Nurhaci, even if he had great skills, could not defeat Liaoyang, the capital of Liaodong.

However, when General Tong Zhongkui and Chen Ce solicited the opinions of the generals, the guerrilla general Zhou Dunji and others were all indignant and vowed to fight with Jiannu in blood to regain Shenyang while Jiannu was not yet firm.

Tong Zhongkui and Chen Ce thought about it over and over again, but decided to rush over and fight to the death!

They were not blinded by the passion and acted recklessly, mainly because the current situation forced them to do so.

You should know that the Qi family army and the Baigan soldiers were basically infantrymen, and Jiannu, since the last battle of Sarhu, seized more than 30,000 elite horses from the Ming army, the cavalry has reached a terrifying 40,000 to 50,000.

If they turn around and run away, Jiannu's cavalry will likely catch up and get a bargain. If they don't have time to form a formation, it will be a great defeat, and it is very likely that Jiannu will be killed and wiped out.

Therefore, they chose to take the initiative to rush forward and face the head-on battle with Jiannu. In this way, as long as reinforcements arrived in time, they could really take back Shenyang while Jiannu had not yet gained a foothold.

At this time, Ma Qiancheng had an ominous premonition in his heart.

The little prince said, don’t underestimate the enemy and do not act recklessly!

They only have 7,000 troops in total, and the Jiannu on the opposite side may be more than 70,000!

The little prince should be counted here. If Jiannu all surrounded him, the Qi family's army would be wiped out.

As for the reinforcements, at least they did not see the shadow of reinforcements at this moment.

Unfortunately, he is not the master general. If he is the master general, he will definitely find a way to withdraw.

He wanted to remind Tong Zhongkui and Chen Ce, but he was afraid that he would disrupt the morale of the army.

In desperation, he had to act according to the order and lead the army to cross the bridge first.

Unexpectedly, he had just led his army to cross the Hun River from the narrow stone bridge. When the Qi family's chariots were squeezing on the stone bridge and slowly crossing the river, Jiannu suddenly divided a group of cavalry and rushed over from the direction of Chenyang City!

It turned out that when Nurhaci saw the Ming reinforcements arrived, he watched for a while from a distance, and then seized the opportunity to send nearly 6,000 cavalrymen of Zhengbai Banner to attack Baigan and Qi's army.

Seeing this, Chen Ce, the general who crossed the river with Baigan, quickly ordered: "General Ma, hurry up, form a formation to block the attack. I will take the Qi army back to the south bank to set up a formation."

After saying that, he rode a horse and headed straight to the bridge, and ordered the Qi family army to push the chariot back to the south bank to set up a formation.

Seeing this, Ma Qiancheng didn't think too much, and immediately shouted: "Hurry, Xianglin, Bangping, Minping, lead his men and horses to the river bank and set up a formation."

After saying that, he rushed forward with a thousand white-rod soldiers under him.

In front, the Jiannu cavalry was less than a mile away from them, and could see them with the naked eye that they were unloading their longbows and preparing to shoot arrows.

Ma Qiancheng quickly raised his hand and said, "Stop, array, tortoise shell, imperial."

"drink."

A thousand white-rod soldiers behind him roared in unison and gathered together quickly. Five people squatted forward, half-squatted, leaned over, and stood upright. Five small round shields were immediately arranged in an arc, and about two hundred arcs squeezed into a row, really like tortoise shells.

At this time, the cavalry in the front row of Jiannu had already started to shoot arrows. A rain of arrows fell, and the shield formation of the Sichuan Army's white-rod soldiers was immediately shot into a hedgehog.

But it doesn't matter, this round of arrow rain did not cause any casualties to them.

Ma Qiancheng swept a few arrows that shot him, then thrust his spear and shouted: "Everyone, look forward to the white pole, prepare."

"ha."

Four thousand white-pole soldiers roared in unison, quickly forming four horizontal formations, and the white-pole spear suddenly stabbed out like a forest.

At this time, the Jiannu cavalry were less than fifty steps away from them, and the sound of horse hooves like rolling thunder made the ground under their feet tremble!
