~~~~~~

The time has reached mid-noon, and an hour and a half has passed since the main force of the Hou Jin Army retreated. Thank you, the main force of the Ming Army has already approached before the abandoned camp of the Hou Jin Army.

Because Huang Taiji still wanted to come back and make a profit, he did not really give up and completely retreat. At this time, there were still many tents in the Houjin Army camp, as well as some property that had not been completely removed in time. Although the entire camp

It was a mess, but there were not many valuable items.

On Li Yuanqing's side, the forward sentinels also reported back that the main force of the Jin army had retreated five or six miles to the north and was rapidly retreating towards the north.

Looking at this, it was obvious that they were not planning to make another "return".

Li Yuanqing thought for a while, and ordered Mangui, Wu Sangui, Hou Shilu, and Xu Fu to form four separate formations to block the four corners of the Houjin Army's camp to guard against possible chaos among the slaves in the Houjin Army's camp.

But even though he had discovered Huang Taiji's intention, Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry to enter the Hou Jin army's camp. Instead, he ordered the entire army to rest on the spot and have lunch first.

At the same time~, redouble the efforts to improve military discipline!

Li Yuanqing has full confidence in the military discipline and appearance of Changsheng Camp.

Ten years of sharpening a sword!

Li Yuanqing's hard work and strength over the years were definitely not in vain.

But at this time, behind the Hou Jin Army's camp, there were more than 100,000 Han female dependents, all of whom were young beauties.

These Ming army officers and soldiers have been out for as few as two or three months, and as many as more than half a year.

As the old saying goes, 'After three years in the army, a sow can compete with Diao Chan...'

Not to mention, at this time, the main force of the Jin army had not left far, but had been wandering in the north.

Even though they had rushed dozens of miles away, once they discovered the chaos on the Ming army's side, according to Huang Taiji's temperament, would he still be able to sit still?

Especially these arrogant Jurchen warriors, whose faces were almost swollen from being beaten by Li Yuanqing and the main force of the Ming army in the morning. They were really filled with resentment and had nowhere to vent their anger.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, Chen Zhong hurried to the camp of Changsheng Camp and had lunch with Li Yuanqing.

At this time, Chen Zhong also discovered the biggest embarrassment in this battle...

Although these Han female relatives are good, and they are all beautiful and valuable goods, but~~, with their burdens, the main force of the Ming army can't even think of speed.

"Yuan Qing, what the hell is this? Could it be that this battle is over? Hey!"

Although the Ming army was victorious at this time, subduing the enemy without a fight and plundering more than 100,000 Han female relatives in vain, Chen Zhong was not too happy. Instead, he was full of anger and resentment.

Li Yuanqing, however, remained calm and threw a cigar to Chen Zhong with a smile, "What's the matter, brother? Are you feeling unhappy?"

"..."

Chen Zhong was speechless and looked at Li Yuanqing as if he were an alien, "Yuanqing, aren't you anxious? If the main force of the Tatars escapes, it will be difficult for us to catch up if we try to catch up.

With only this head at this time, I'm afraid that if the old man goes to Beijing, he may not be able to win the title of earl."

Li Yuanqing laughed.

Of course he understood what Chen Zhong meant.

"Brother, in fact, this matter cannot be calculated like this. It will happen naturally. There is not much that can be done in a hurry. If you can recover a little loss, then it is a little loss."

Chen Zhong couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Yuan Qing, brother, I understand what you mean, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation... Sigh. It's not as good as the two of us. These bastards come here, they are really smelly and difficult to deal with, and they are slowing down in vain.

It has stopped our steps."

Li Yuanqing laughed loudly: "Brother, don't be anxious. Just listen to what I have to say. If nothing else, there will be some twists and turns tonight."

"Well……"

Chen Zhong was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and hurriedly said: "Yuan Qing, you mean..."

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Brother, let's eat as much as we can afford. Why do we have to eat a big fat meal in one bite? Don't forget, our core is still in Liaonan! When we finish tonight's work, our brother

Two of you, let each of you choose a few good ones."

Chen Zhong's thoughts were completely understood by Li Yuanqing with just a few words. He felt refreshed for a moment and laughed loudly: "Yuan Qing, don't worry. Brother, I took care of it. We will ensure that no one else can find fault with this matter."

Come!"

Chen Zhong left, and Li Yuanqing slowly and methodically sipped his cigar, but his brows furrowed slightly.

On the side, Yang Lei almost admired Li Yuanqing.

Chen Zhong rushed over with so much fire, but was easily dismantled by Li Yuanqing with a few words, and he was suddenly full of fighting spirit. This, this is really...

But even though Yang Lei understood the details and wanted to learn from Li Yuanqing, he couldn't keep up with Li Yuanqing's rhythm at the moment, let alone Li Yuanqing's ability to do it with ease and ease, as if he was one and the same.

For a moment, Yang Lei quickly gathered his thoughts and carefully recalled Li Yuanqing's every move just now.

Li Yuanqing had no intention of paying attention to Yang Lei at this time.

Today's frontal attack by the main force of the Ming army, although it was quite beautiful on the surface, it inadvertently lost the initiative in the entire war.

Although due to the nature of the nation, there is no way around this, Li Yuanqing still feels a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Chen Zhong is really right in what he said.

If the Changsheng Battalion and Chen Zhong's troops, including Man Gui, Zhang Pan, Chen Liangce, Xu Fuzuo and other obedient troops were around, the results of the battle at this time would have been at least several times greater.

But because of the arrival of Sun Chengzong and Guan Ning's main force, Li Yuanqing's biggest enemy is no longer Huang Taiji and Hou Jin's main force, but...

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

Li Yuanqing let out a long breath.

This was obviously not a good opportunity for a decisive battle with the Hou Jin Army. The first thing Li Yuanqing had to consider was to seize the throne himself.

After lunch, Li Yuanqing issued a somewhat unbelievable order to Zhang Pan's, Chen's and Liangce's, and Zhu Mei's more than 2,000 troops.

The three of them were ordered to dig a ditch first to divert the water from a river more than ten steps wide in the north to the direction of Houjin Army's camp. It must be completed before evening.

Although Zhang Pan, Chen Liangce and others were speechless, Li Yuanqing gave the order, so how could they dare not to execute it? They quickly went to work.

Li Yuanqing then ordered some people from Chen Zhong's department to enter the Houjin Army's camp to collect the financial assets. At the same time, he moved the custody of the hundreds of thousands of female relatives to a spacious camp.

Their previous living environment was not even comparable to the Tatar stables, it was a bit too bad.

Especially since the Jin army continues to torture them, their health condition is really worrying.

But Li Yuanqing did not have much energy to pay attention to their health at this time, and could only focus on stability.

Immediately, Li Yuanqing ordered all his troops to set up camp and fortify themselves around the camp of the Hou Jin Army. At the same time, he extended the trench fortifications of the Hou Jin Army to join the ditches on Zhang Pan and Chen Liangce's side, in an effort to store up the troops in the ditches at night.

Full of water.

After Li Yuanqing's order was issued, even Zu Dashou did not dare to neglect it and could only follow it.

However, not long after, Sun Chengzong rushed over from the top of Pinggu City.

Sun Chengzong pulled Li Yuanqing to an unoccupied wall and whispered: "Yuanqing, you are so cautious, but are you worried that the Tatars will come back to steal the camp at night?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and didn't hide it, "Mr. Ge, it's nine to nine out of ten. Have you noticed that this Tatar camp is like a bird cage?"

Sun Chengzong took a breath of air-conditioning, and instantly understood what Li Yuanqing meant. He couldn't help but nodded heavily and said: "Yuan Qing, this is really what happened. Before, these Han women were dragging them down, and these dog Tatars seemed to be restrained.

Our hands and feet can only be fixed here and dragged slowly. But at this time, once they give up these women, they will..."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "Mr. Ge, this is actually a good thing. We didn't have enough achievements before. However, Yuan Qing has to trouble Mr. Ge at this time."

Sun Chengzong laughed loudly: "Yuan Qing, don't worry. I will do the work of comforting the women in the camp now!"

Li Yuanqing hurriedly and respectfully bowed his hands to Sun Chengzong and said: "With Mr. Ge here to stabilize the country, Yuanqing will go all out tonight!"

…………

Night fell, and the water-like night was mixed with the quiet moonlight, like a faint veil, softly covering the entire earth.

At this time, if you look down from a high place, you can see that although the Ming army's camps were built against the walls of the Hou Jin army's camp, they are very irregular. Some are large and some are small. At a glance, they look very messy.

However, what is puzzling is that there are several artificial water channels that are connected to the trenches of the Later Jin Army, connecting the entire Ming Army camp together, like a deep and careful Zeguo.

The time soon came to Haishi.

Although the Ming army did not engage in a head-on battle with the Hou Jin army today, they did a lot of physical work. As the night got darker, most of the Ming army, except for the Ming army soldiers on duty, had returned to their respective tents to rest.

Looking around, except for some misty campfires, the entire Ming army camp was unusually quiet.

At this time~, in the deep darkness of the night, the elite cavalry of the Jin Army in three groups from the north, northwest, and west, like ghosts, had arrived seven or eight miles away from the Ming Army camp.

At the head of the group are the main forces of Abate and Tanbai, who are located in the middle of the northwest.

Taken together, the three divisions, together with Huang Taiji's bodyguards who wore yellow flags and commanded Ao Bai's division, amounted to nearly fifteen thousand people, the best of the best.

Hauge wanted to come to Japan very much, but Huang Taiji gave him a strict order to stay behind and take care of him. Even if Hauge was unhappy, how could he dare to disobey Huang Taiji's order?

He had no choice but to obediently wait for his response by a forest three miles away.

"Master Beile, is it almost time? Today, the warriors have traveled seventy or eighty miles. These days, they haven't slept well. If it continues, I'm afraid that the warriors won't be able to hold on."

Tan Bai looked worriedly at the direction of their original camp, which was now occupied by the battle situation between Li Yuanqing and the Ming army.

Although Tan Bai greatly admired Huang Taiji's plan of "drawing fuel from the bottom of the cauldron", at this time, the entire main force of Daikin was very exhausted, both in terms of morale and physical strength.

In addition, the Ming army opposite was led by Li Yuanqing, which gave Tan Bai little confidence.

Abatai nodded slowly and tiredly, "Tanbai, what you said is true. However, we still need to be patient for a quarter of an hour. At midnight, we will start on time. Let the warriors take advantage of this gap to have a good rest. Tell me.

As long as they defeat the Ming army, these women can play whatever they want!"

Tan Bai also understood Abatai's worries. The time for the attack was set by Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji was more than twenty miles away in the northeast at this time. Abatai was already making trouble, so how could he still cause such trouble?

?

After a moment, Tan Bai said: "Master Baylor, please rest for a while, and I will handle these trivial matters."
