Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 279
After Hauge led an army of [-] cavalry to set off from the capital, he did not dare to delay at all along the way, and roughly changed his route, bypassing Shanhaiguan and heading straight for Shengjing.

As soon as he entered Liaodong, Hauge couldn't wait to send batches of scouts to find out all kinds of news that happened after the new army entered Liaodong, especially the news about Shengjing.

He was lucky, the scout met the messenger sent from Shengjing for help on the road, so he learned of Shengjing's situation at the first time.

Hearing that the new army had approached the city of Shengjing, Hauge was shocked, and hurriedly urged the army to speed up.

It wasn't until the large number of war horses were too much to bear that he had to slow down, but he was still hundreds of miles away from Shengjing, which made him very anxious.

Because he knew that even if he arrived at Shengjing an hour earlier, it would reduce the loss of Shengjing.

However, Tangning's action was too sudden. The capital was far away from Shengjing, and Shanhaiguan, which was originally closer, was occupied by the new army. They had to make a detour, and the delay was even longer.

Hauge could only keep praying that Shengjing would last longer, but it was raining overnight, and the scouts found the traces of Guan Ning's army, and they were all cavalry, coming towards the rear of their side.

Obviously, the scouts of the Guan Ning army should have found themselves.

The number of Guan Ning's iron cavalry is less than [-]. If he wants to fight against him, Hauge will naturally not be afraid at all.

But Shengjing is facing a crisis, how can he have the time and mood to fight Guan Ning's iron cavalry.

Besides, Wu Sangui was not stupid. He knew that he would not fight head-on if he knew that he was invincible. As long as he slowed down his arrival to Shengjing through harassment, it would be the greatest support for Tangning.

Compared with Hauge's pace of running to death, Wu Sangui's Guan Ning cavalry is much easier.

Because after Hauge led the army out of the capital, the intelligence personnel hidden in the capital immediately locked their whereabouts, and then passed the information to the north immediately.

Shanhaiguan was already much closer to Shengjing, and Wu Sangui knew the movements of the Qing army one step ahead of time. He waited until the Qing army bypassed Shanhaiguan before leading the army out without haste.

The Guan Ning army waited for work with ease, and quickly closed the distance with the Qing army until they saw the Qing army stretching for several miles.

Naturally, the Qing army also discovered Guan Ning's army, but they were only on guard and had no intention of actively attacking.

Leaving Wu Sangui aside, he himself is a capable general, so he knows what to do at this time.

He himself led the main force of 5000 people, and then sent two teams of 2000 people to harass the Qing army from two directions.

Hauge didn't want to pay attention to Guan Ning's army, but he had to deal with them. Of course, he couldn't lead an army of [-] to wipe out thousands of people.

Therefore, he also sent two teams to deal with it, each with about 4000 people.

However, the purpose of the Guan Ning army was naturally not to fight the Qing army decisively. When they saw the Qing army chasing them, they immediately retreated.

If the Qing army retreated, they turned around and chased after them again, entangled, which made Hauge very annoyed.

So he sent two teams of 4000 people to double-team from two directions.

However, the long journey has exhausted the horses, and their stamina is far inferior to that of the Guan Ning army's horses, and they can't catch up anyway.

Tired myself half to death, and got nothing, so I had no choice but to retreat.

Seeing the Qing army like this, Guan Ning's army became even more confident.

The two sides kept entangled in this way, and the Qing army suffered a lot of losses twice. When they chased them out, they had twice as many troops as the Guanning army's detachment.

However, the chase was too far away and deviated from the main force, and there was radio communication in the Guanning army. Wu Sangui immediately led the main force to outflank, and the total force was nearly double that of the Qing army.

Under the pincer attack, the already exhausted Qing army was beaten back steadily.

It wasn't until Hauge sent support that he escaped, but the loss was not small.

After suffering two losses, the Qing army became a lot more honest. Even if there was anger in their hearts, they could only endure it as much as possible and dare not chase too far.

Until, until the news that Shengjing was captured by the new army came, many Qing soldiers couldn't help crying, some were full of grief and indignation, some were full of despair.

Hauge's eyes were bloodshot, while Oboi looked like a bull that was completely enraged, his eyes widened and he kept panting heavily, as if he wanted to eat people.

"I'm going to kill those bastards from the Guan Ning Army..." Aobai growled and cursed.

Of course, Aobai can only say these angry words, even if he wants to ask Guan Ningjun to vent his anger first, as the chief general Hauge will not agree.

After all, no matter what happened to Shengjing, they still had to go to Shengjing to have a look. Even if they wanted revenge, they would seek revenge from Tangning.

So, the Qing army continued to move, heading towards Shengjing, but this time, in addition to being tired, there was also a gloomy look, and the whole team seemed a little lifeless.

What's even worse is that Guan Ning's army still didn't give up the harassment, and became even more arrogant.

When the Qing army learned that Shengjing had been captured by Tangning, they naturally also got the news, and they were one step ahead because of the radio.

In this way, the Qing army stumbled all the way, and finally appeared at a place about thirty miles away from Shengjing.

Since basically none of the people in the city escaped, Hauge didn't know what was going on in the city, whether they were killed by the new army or all were captured.

However, as the chief general, Hauge, the son of the former Emperor Taiji, still had to force himself to be as calm as possible. He was too tired all the way and needed to rest before considering the siege.

Therefore, he ordered to set up camp, sort out supplies, and prepare to rest for two days. At the same time, he tried his best to find out the situation in the city before making plans, because the fact that Shengjing was captured was irreversible.

However, he was obviously a little whimsical. Tangning occupied Shengjing City, but she didn't necessarily have to defend the city.

He kept an eye on the movement of the Qing army through scouts, and when they were building a camp, he quickly led [-] elite troops out of the city and headed towards the Qing army camp.

The Qing army released a large number of scouts, and naturally knew the movement of the new army immediately, which immediately caused a commotion.

Tangning was simply too rampant, so confident, so defiant.

Obai, the number one warrior in the Qing Dynasty, couldn't bear it first, and took the initiative to ask for a fight.

After a moment of pondering, Hauge agreed, although he knew in his heart that it was inconvenient to start a war with the new army at this time.

However, the new army took the initiative to fight with such a posture. If they did not dare to fight, would they just break out of camp and flee?Then what about siege?
In addition to facing the [-] new troops led by Tang Ning, there were also tens of thousands of Guan Ning troops facing the rear.

Haug assigned 5000 cavalry to Oboi, and another [-] to contain the Guanning army, while he himself led the remaining troops for emergencies.

However, since the two sides were separated by dozens of miles, in order to consume more energy of the new army and make them farther away from Shengjing, Aobai just led the army to advance slowly.

However, Tangning didn't take it seriously at all. She didn't seem to worry that after she failed, she would not be able to escape back to the city in time because she was too far away from Shengjing.

The distance between the two sides is constantly getting closer.
