    After frowning and thinking quietly for a long time, Huang Taiji said with some worry: "Mr. Chen, what if we are unable to capture Santun Camp? Moreover, Santun Camp's defense is very strong. If we attack by force, the casualties will be too high.  If it's a feint, I'm afraid Qi Jin won't be fooled." Chen Liangyu smiled calmly and said softly: "What Chen said just now is to attack the enemy and save him. Now what Chen is going to say is two evils.  Whichever is easier. The Qi Family Army intercepts us from the front, and the terrain here is not suitable for large armies to fight. We can only use the same number of soldiers to compete with the Qi Family Army. Although our Dajin Cavalry is elite, the Qi Family Army is also very elite, and the stalemate will definitely be long.  It's been a long time. Besides, the Qi family army is waiting for us here. There must be some ambush, and the casualties must be heavy. However, the current Santun camp only has two to three thousand people, so it will be very labor-saving to attack.  When it's time to make a choice, it's natural to choose the lesser of two evils." Huang Taiji sighed softly. At this time, Huang Taiji felt that Chen Liangyu's talent was good, but his character was too low, and such a person could not be reused.  After thinking for a moment, Huang Taiji thought it would be better to kill this person. It was dangerous to have such a person around, but obviously now was not the time.  Nodding slowly, Huang Taiji said thoughtfully: "Then according to Mr. Chen's wishes, do we still have people here?" "Master Baylor, let's retreat directly and put some reconnaissance cavalry here. As long as we win three  If we set up camp, things will be much easier. Even if we can't take down the third camp, the Qi family army will definitely come back to rescue us." Chen Liangyu smiled lightly and said quite calmly.  After frowning and thinking for a long time, Huang Taiji nodded vigorously and said firmly: "Okay! In that case, it's settled, we will send troops to the Santun Camp." Qi Jin was also in the tent of the Qi Army's camp.  Li discussed with people and found out that this person was Xifeng Kou Ginseng General Mangui.  The two people were sitting in the tent, their expressions were quite serious. They looked at each other and Qi Jin said in a deep voice: "General Man, I have no choice but to find you this time. I hope you won't see him." "General, this is what you said.  In other words, Man Gui's success today is all due to the promotion of the general. Man Gui will not hesitate to give orders to him. What's more, this matter is for Xifengkou. Man Gui will naturally refuse to give in. Man Gui also wants to thank him.  General Gao Yi." Man Gui saluted Qi Jin and said gratefully.  Nodding slowly, Qi Jin said in a deep voice: "I won't say any polite words at this time. Opposite us are 30,000 Jiannu troops. The general has sent people to find out. Among these 30,000 troops  , 10,000 are the Eight Banners Cavalry of Jiannu, and the other 20,000 are Mongolian Tatars. Although the composition is different, these 30,000 people are elites. The only thing we can do is to stop them. " "General, the only thing I brought is.  The two thousand men are all cavalry, and most of them are Mongolians. They are also very well-equipped, but after all, the number is too small. There are 30,000 cavalry on the opposite side. In a real fight, these two thousand men will not play a big role.  !" Man Gui frowned and looked at Qi Jin, with deep helplessness in his tone.  Mangui believed that if he had 20,000 cavalry, he would definitely be able to defeat these people.  If there were fifteen thousand cavalry, he would dare to fight against these people. Even if there were only ten thousand cavalry, he would not be afraid at all.  But now that there are only two thousand people, I really have no confidence. If I rush forward, I will die.  After pondering for a moment, Qi Jin frowned slightly and said in a rather helpless tone: "What I'm worried about now is not our place. I have already made arrangements. With the elite of the Qi Army, we can stay here for half a month."  Not a problem. But what I am worried about is Santun Camp. In order to defend here, I have depleted all the soldiers and horses in Santun Camp, leaving only a thousand elites and two thousand old and weak men. If Jiannu goes back to attack Santun Camp,  I'm afraid the war situation will be very unfavorable, and we may have to give up the arrangement here. " "Three Tun Camp has always been run by the general, and there are many defensive equipment on the city. I believe it won't be a problem to hold on for a few days. But if we really can't hold on, it won't be a problem.  , we still have to go to the rescue, after all, Santun Camp is the place where the general is guarding. If anything happens to Santun Camp, the general will be blamed!" Man Gui also frowned, looking at Qi who was dripping with emotion.  Jin said hesitantly.  Slowly shaking his head, Qi Jin said with a wry smile: "Everyone talks about the elites of the Qi Jiajun, and they all say that my uncle is brave, but few people pay attention to the composition of the Qi Jiajun. When my uncle led people to Santun Camp, Grandmaster Zhang had the support of power.  Uncle, all kinds of armor weapons, artillery and muskets are the most sophisticated. At first, there were only 300 Tiger Guns, and there are even more other firearms. If I have 300 Tiger Guns arranged in a row, yes.  The 30,000 Jiannu in front of us will be defeated after a few rounds of artillery. Then we rush over and win this battle. Now I have nothing, and there are only a dozen cannons on the wall.  What can we do?" Listen Qi JinMan Gui was also quite stunned by these helpless words. He had heard of Qi Jiajun and Qi Jiguang on the grassland back then.  Mangui has long heard about the reputation of Qi Jiajun. After coming to the Ming Dynasty, Mangui also met Qi Jiajun.  After seeing such an army, Mangui was shocked. Although he had seen the most elite cavalry in Mongolia, the gap between them and such a well-trained team was really too big.  Now listening to Qi Jin's words, Man Gui suddenly felt that it was full of the meaning of a hero's twilight years.  Looking at Qi Jin with a resolute face, Man Gui suddenly felt that the high-spiritedness of the past could no longer be seen on his face, and all he could see was the vicissitudes of life that he had experienced.  Sighing softly, Qi Jin said in a rather helpless tone: "The matter is now over, it's too late for us to say anything. The only thing we can do now is to hope that the reinforcements from Zunhua City will come soon. If the two  If we can arrive within a day, we will have no worries!" Looking in the direction of Zunhua City, Mangui said with a smile: "General, I think the reinforcements from Zunhua City will arrive within two days!"  Looking at Man Gui hesitantly, Qi Jin said in surprise: "Why? How can you be so sure?" "General Qi, where do you think the reinforcements from Zunhua City came from?" Looking at Qi Jin with a smile, Man Gui  Gui said in a rather expectant tone.  After a slight hesitation, Qi Jin frowned and thought for a while, then said in a serious voice: "Zunhua is connected to many places. Reinforcements that can come from Zunhua can come from three directions. Troops can be sent from Datong. Liaodong  The soldiers and horses can also go directly to Zunhua, and there are also reinforcements from the capital in these directions. However, Jizhou itself does not have many soldiers and horses.  It's like 30,000 to 40,000 people. It's obviously impossible to come here directly! " "General, it's only been two days since Jizhou arrived in Zunhua. If it were reinforcements from Jizhou, it would be impossible for Datong to arrive."  Although we have soldiers under our command, they do not belong to our Ji Liao territory and are under the jurisdiction of the governors of the three sides. Unless the imperial court orders, the troops will not be sent out. The only ones left are Liaodong soldiers and horses!" Mangui Qingqing!  He smiled and expressed his thoughts.  After pondering for a moment, Qi Jin gently shook his head and said in a serious tone: "Liaodong can indeed send people here, and the time makes sense, but I always feel that there is something wrong here."  Smiling, Mangui said in a deep voice: "General, what is strange is that if it is Liaodong's army, why hasn't it arrived yet? I can tell the general this!" "Really? But in terms of time, it should have arrived. You know this  Why?" Qi Jin asked with a smile as he looked at Man Gui playfully.  "General, you are testing me! But I really know. The governor of Jiliao who just took office is Sun Chengzong, the great scholar. Before he took office, he was the governor of Liaodong. He commanded the troops to win the great victory in Shenyang. So even if reinforcements from Liaodong arrive,  I will definitely go to Jizhou first, and then rush to Zunhua from Jizhou. If that is the case, the time should be about the same!" Man Gui smiled bitterly and shook his head. He naturally knew that Qi Jin had already guessed it, but still.  Say what you think.  Sighing softly, Qi Jin said helplessly: "I heard that Mr. Sun is also very experienced. At such an old age, he can predict the importance of the emperor. I hope that a tragedy like my uncle will not happen." Man Gui's expression also changed.  Somewhat solemnly, he looked at Qi Jin and said in a low voice: "No, the current emperor does not seem to be like that!" However, Man Gui also knew that his words were a bit weak, and did not dare to look up at Qi Jin.  Qi Jin didn¡¯t speak, just smiled bitterly and shook his head.  Outside the city of Santun Camp, Huang Taiji sat on his horse, looking at the city in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly.  He had been here a few days ago, and now he was back here again. Although the time was not long, his mood was very different.  Looking back at the athletes behind him, Huang Taiji sighed softly, hoping that everything went well with his father, otherwise his sacrifice this time would be too great.  Slowly turning back and looking at the blood stains outside Santun Camp, Huang Taiji lowered his head indifferently.  Those are what were left a few days ago. Hundreds of Eight Banners athletes died here. I don¡¯t know how many people will die today.  On the top of the city of Santun Camp, the Qi Army was actively preparing for war. Many of the Qi Army were very old.  Wang Quan, who was making porridge, held a knife in his hand and shouted at the soldiers with a smile on his face. There was no trace of nervousness in front of the station.  On the contrary, it can be seen from his excited words and trembling hands that he is very excited, and he is very excited in his heart.  ??Suddenly a man walked up to the city. This man was wearing armor, but it was not the Ming army's standard armor. He was holding an iron rod in his hand.  The stick is not thin, and it can be seen that it is very heavy. The most eye-catching thing is that it is a woman.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
