As evening approached, mobilization had been completed in Liaoyang City. On the top of the city, there are many heads of people, especially on the south side, it feels like facing a formidable enemy. Jianlu on the top of the city stared unblinkingly at the distance to the south.

The closed city gate would open from time to time, and the rumble of subway hooves would fly out of the city and quickly go away. Only the dust it brought up still filled the air.

In the lobby of the Liaoyang Governor's Mansion, a group of people were still arguing.

"Master, we must send troops immediately. Anshan Posthouse will be in danger if it's too late!"

"Master, the situation of the enemy ahead is unknown, so it is not advisable to act rashly. We will make a decision after we report back to you!"

"Shut up, you are delaying the military situation!"

"You just shut up and acted rashly. Do you want to kill your clan members?"

"..."

Amin, who was in the main seat, looked at this and that, and he was really undecided.

To be honest, the military strength in his hands now is his biggest basis for gaining a foothold in the Qing Dynasty. It is also the reason why Huang Taiji did not dare to touch him when he was in Shenyang. Amin knew this well. Logically speaking, after receiving the military report, reinforcements should be rushed immediately. But he only sent a messenger to Shenyang. In addition, he also sent a detective horse to go south. Although the army was organized in Shenyang City, there was no next move. From this point of view, he still prefers to conserve his strength and wait until there is further news before making a decision.

One of the people in the argument suddenly changed the direction of the argument, gave up the opponent of the argument, and said directly to Amin: "The emperor has many taboos about his master. If the master does not move, the Anshan Posthouse will be lost, which will give the emperor a chance." Excuse. Master, no matter what, you must behave appropriately!"

Upon hearing this, Amin was shocked and came to his senses. This subordinate is right. If this is true, Huang Taiji may use this as an excuse to say that he is not capable enough to lead troops, and may take the opportunity to deprive himself of his military power.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and slapped it suddenly, making a "snap" sound, and the hall suddenly became silent.

Amin glanced below and shouted sternly: "Ben Beile has decided to immediately send troops to reinforce Anshan Station."

After saying that, he began to assign tasks. The cavalry went first and the infantry followed. No matter the time, they marched all night. They must arrive before Anshan Posthouse fell and block the Ming army outside Anshan Posthouse. Only then did they have the confidence. , went to complain to Huang Taiji and asked other banners to help defend him.

After giving the order, the setting sun dyed the western sky red, shining on Liaoyang City as if a layer of blood had been splashed on it. The city gate opened again, and an endless stream of cavalry troops filed out of the city gate hole, carrying a piece of dust with them, and headed south again. After the cavalry passed by, groups of infantry emerged from the dust, eating the dust of the cavalry and rushing on their way. The march of the army brought up even greater dust, which spread and almost enveloped the entire Liaoyang City.

Amin did not personally lead the troops on the expedition, but he also came to the archery tower at the head of the South Gate City. He also ate the dust and watched the troops reinforcing Anshan Posthouse go away. At the same time, he thought to himself: The Hongyi cannon is really powerful. I hope it can Hold on until reinforcements arrive! Otherwise, without Anshan Posthouse, there would be no danger to defend on the road to Liaoyang. Fifty thousand Ming troops swarmed in, and the support army he sent out was probably in danger.

Thinking like this, he felt that he could not delay any longer, so he wanted to turn around and give an order to send another eight hundred miles urgent messenger to Huang Taiji. But at this moment, a guard next to him suddenly shouted in surprise: "A detective horse is back!"

When Amin heard this, he quickly turned around to look. Sure enough, they saw a group of cavalry galloping towards them in the distance to the south. Behind them, more dust could be seen, and obviously there were more cavalry.

Suddenly, Amin's heart tightened, and he felt a little bad. When he took a closer look, he got a little closer and could see the knights riding back to Liaoyang. They were all panicking and seemed to be shouting something along the way. The reinforcements that were heading to Anshan Posthouse stopped one after another.

Could it be... could it be that Anshan Inn fell? Amin thought, feeling a bit unimaginable. Taking into account the distance, if you speculate like this, wouldn't the Ming army take down Anshan Posthouse in very little time?

Even if there are Hongyi cannons, it will take time to attack the city. How can it be so fast? Amin was filled with doubts. Staring outside, he became more and more convinced that Anshan Inn was really defeated. Because he had an order, if Anshan Posthouse was too late to rescue, the reinforcements sent out must return as soon as possible to avoid encountering 50,000 Ming troops on the road. At this time, he saw that after the galloping exploration horses passed by, the reinforcements first stopped, then turned their heads and returned to Liaoyang.

Not long after, Tan Ma rushed in front of A Min and breathlessly reported: "Master, the Ming army has captured Anshan Posthouse!"

"What, how could it be so fast?" Although Amin was prepared in his heart, he was still shocked and asked quickly, "What is the specific situation of the battle?"

The information about these detective horses came from the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty who escaped from Anshan Posthouse. Because they had two horses each, they were able to come back first to report. They didn't see the specific battle situation, so they told Amin what they heard from the defeated soldiers.

Amin did not go to the previous battle in Gaizhou and did not know much about the new army. However, when Tan Ma described that the new army used the Qi Jiajun formation, Amin recalled the bloody battle of Hunhe River. Back then, he was beside Nurhachi and had seen the power of Qi Jiajun. You can imagine how shocked you were when you heard that there was such an army among the Ming army.

Unexpectedly, this was not over yet. Tan Ma also reported that the Ming army had a new type of firearm that they had never seen before. It could shoot without a match rope, and it rarely exploded. It was very powerful. Many Qing warriors fell here. Under a firearm.

Amin was a little panicked when he heard this, and when he quickly asked the Ming army if they had any intention of pursuing overnight, he didn't get Tanma's answer. He did not dare to bet on this, and quickly sent an order for the troops who had left the city for reinforcements to quickly return to Liaoyang City. At the same time, he immediately wrote a letter and prepared to send 800 miles to Shenyang to ask for help again.

However, before he could send the letter, the messenger from Shenyang found him first. Amin learned about Shenyang's decision half a day later than Emperor Chongzhen, and was immediately overjoyed. Now it's good. When facing the invading Ming army, he doesn't have to carry it alone, but the entire Qing Dynasty has to carry it. If the Ming army can be defeated, it is even possible to turn defeat into victory and capture Ningyuan Jinzhou, which has never been captured before.

After receiving this news, Amin's mind began to spin again.
