However, Xu Xingxia didn't know when Jianlu's attack would be launched. He estimated that Nurhaci would definitely hesitate. He would definitely not launch an attack immediately. He should need to prepare more things. If he was not sure of more than 70% of the time, Nurhaci should withdraw his troops. Since he did not withdraw, it means that he must be preparing for a backup plan.

After all, the previous two attacks have caused Jianlu to lose a lot of troops. The biggest fatality of the Great Jin Kingdom is that it has a shortage of population and cannot withstand the consumption of large-scale casualties. If you launch a third attack rashly, it will only completely destroy the Great Jin army. As a generation of heroes, Nurhaci should not be so stupid.

Nurhaci now needs more reinforcements. His number one reinforcements were of course the ancients. When the Great Jin Dynasty was in danger, the ancient Korqin tribe would not be saved by death. Zasangbei and Nurhaci were basically wearing the same ku. Due to some reasons, the white-clothed cavalry that méng advanced from the grassland could not directly threaten the safety of the Korqin tribe for the time being. Therefore, Zasangbei and Nurhaci could send reinforcements with confidence.

The ancients of the Korqin tribe are still relatively strong. This is the most plump part of the Méng ancient grassland, which has nurtured a large number of people and horses, cattle and sheep. From the perspective of resources, the Korqin tribe is not inferior to the Tumote tribe led by Lin Danhan. Whether in terms of the number of cavalry or the number of war horses, the Korqin tribe is basically the same as the Tumote tribe. The only thing that Korqin suffers is that it does not have better weapons.

Because the Korqin tribe had a good relationship with the Great Jin Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty implemented strict material control over the Korqin tribe and resolutely prohibited all materials, especially elite weapons and equipment, from flowing into the hands of the Korqin ancients. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty carried out a comprehensive containment of the Korqin tribe through the relationship between Lin Danhan. Therefore, the Korqin ancients lacked weapons. They could not even have a single iron weapon.

If the Korqin tribe had 50,000 sets of Iron Pear Cavalry equipment, even Lin Danhan would probably not be able to sleep. Zaisan Buhe had been trying to improve the weapons and equipment of his troops, but unfortunately, he had never succeeded. However, with the victory of the Great Jin army in Liaodong, he wiped out hundreds of thousands of Ming troops and seized a large amount of Ming army equipment. The equipment of the Korqin Méng ancient cavalry would inevitably be greatly improved.

With the current military strength of Jianlu, it is impossible to digest so many weapons and equipment, so it will definitely support a large amount of support to the ancients of Korqin. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the ancient cavalry will be moderately improved. The ancients no longer lack weapons and equipment. In addition, the ancients accepted the command of the senior leaders of the Great Jin Kingdom, and the combat effectiveness of the ancient cavalry should be able to obtain a certain degree of additional improvement. History has proved that the ancient cavalry under the command of Jianlu are still very capable of fighting.

In addition to the ancients, Nurhaci also had a large group that could be used. This group is the captured Liaodong Ming Army. The number of this group is conservatively estimated to be at least 70,000 to 80,000. Even more than 100,000 people. They are all warriors of the Liaodong Ming Army, or military households from all over the country. If Nurhaci realized their role and sent troops to arrest people everywhere, the number would continue to rise.

The defeat of the Ming army in Liaodong was very thorough and very sudden. The unexpected defeat caught many people off guard and had no measures to deal with it. The main force of 100,000, plus the local troops close to 300,000 were all suddenly disintegrated. Only a small number of people could escape. The others were captured by the Great Jin Kingdom.

Before, Nurhaci did not pay attention to the existence of these people. After being arrested, they were often sent to work as coolies or killed directly. He even thought about killing them all to prevent future troubles. But now, Nurhaci would definitely change his approach. He wanted to use all of these people and let these Han troops do their jobs for Jianlu. As cannon fodder, their main task was. If you guessed correctly, the Han military flag should appear in advance.

As long as Jianlu was willing, they could capture more than 100,000 Ming troops in Liaodong. If the more than 100,000 Ming troops were concentrated by Jianlu, organized according to the organization of the Eight Banners, and put into use on the battlefield, their combat effectiveness would still be very considerable. Li Yongfang, the guerrilla general who surrendered to Jianlu in the Battle of Fushun, should be the first banner owner of the Han army flag. This damn Hanjiān would preferably appear on the battlefield and be killed by a sniper.

Perhaps, the fierce battle in Yangguan Fort has just begun. In the days when the people who are responsible for transporting the bodies are making money, five corpses can earn one or two silver dollars. God knows how many corpses will appear in the open space in front of Yangguan Fort? Conservatively estimated, it is calculated in tens of thousands. Perhaps after the battle is over, each of them can make a small fortune and go home happily.

In the afternoon, a huge transport ship arrived at Yangguan Fort, slowly docked, and sent all kinds of supplies needed by Yangguan Fort. At the same time, dozens of special personnel came down from the ship. They were all wearing outfits that were completely different from the Han costumes. After a brief contact with the White Army, they walked towards the place where Xu Xingxia was. They were all Koreans.

To be precise, they were all envoys from North Korea. Originally, they should have been waiting in Dengzhou. However, as time went by, they finally couldn't wait and firmly begged to board the ships coming to Yangguan Fort.

According to the news they learned from Japan, the number of Japanese gatherings is increasing, and they are likely to land and land on the shore immediately. If they continue to wait, the Japanese might land on the land again. It is certain that the Japanese also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of civil strife in the Ming Dynasty to take down the Korean Peninsula in one fell swoop. Given the lessons of the last war, the Koreans would no longer dare to take it lightly. They must do everything possible and make preparations in advance.

Among them, the most important preparation was to request reinforcements from the Central Plains dynasty. This was also the practice of the Korean Kingdom encountering a strong invasion. In the past, it was to request assistance from the Tang Dynasty. Later, it was to request assistance from the Ming Dynasty. Now, the situation in the Ming Dynasty was in chaos. After thinking about it, they decided to request reinforcements from the White Army after comprehensive measurement.

Originally, the North Korean side still routinely asked for help from the Ming Dynasty. The White Army gave them the impression that the White Army was too arrogant. After they arrived in Dengzhou, there were no senior executives of the White Army coming to receive them. This contemptuous and condescending attitude made the North Koreans feel very unhappy. They almost left. However, Nanjing has made it clear that they have no help to North Korea. They suggested that the North Korean side still go to the White Army to ask for help. There was no way, so the North Korean envoy had to ask for help from the White Army again.

Xu Xingxia decided to use the gap between the battle to meet them. The actions of the Koreans fully reflect that their hearts were indeed in a very panic state. If this panic state is not effectively stopped, you may have some unstable factors. Xu Xingxia does not hope that the Koreans will collapse at once. They must be able to hold on for a while when the Japanese arrive. The best result is of course the Japanese will suffer losses.

The leader of the Korean envoy was Li Erzhan. This man was the confidant of Gwanghae-jun Lee Hui and had always been with Gwanghae-jun. Among the two classes of ministers in North Korea, he was known as the first. Gwanghae-jun Lee Hui had two major confidants, known as the right-hand man, one was Li Erzhan, and the other was Zheng Hongli. This time, Gwanghae-jun sent his number one confidant to come, which shows that he really wanted to get assistance from the Central Plains dynasty.

In the words of the Ming Dynasty, Li Erzhan was a typical bureaucrat who was born in a Jinshi, good at communicating and very good at eloquence. He was also very familiar with the situation of the Ming Dynasty. In the past few decades, he had visited the Central Plains as many as eight times. His Chinese was better than his native language. If he had changed into the costumes of a Han Chinese and spoke Chinese, almost no one could recognize that he was actually a Korean.

Xu Xingwan met Li Erzhan in the underground bunker of Yangguan Fort.

Obviously, Li Erzhan and others were obviously not used to the cruel battlefield. The battlefield of Yangguan Castle was indeed the strangest, bloodiest and most violent that they had ever encountered. As long as you are willing, you can clearly see whatever it is. When walking, they may step on the iron lumps in the loose soil at any time, and it feels hard. When they dig it out, they turned out to be the solid bullet shot from the Flang machine cannon.

At the same time, a large number of Jianlu's corpses were being pulled out by the civilians and were about to be sent to the back. Jianlu's corpses were stacked layer by layer on top of the cart and pulled directly back. From time to time, there were Jianlu's corpses that were not yet stable fell. The person who pulled the cart didn't care and continued to pull the cart forward. As for the fallen Jianlu's corpses, someone naturally picked them up.

At this time, the entire Yangguan Fort was a transport site, and the bodies of Jianlu were transporting. On the contrary, most of the white-clothed soldiers were raising their energy and preparing for the next battle. Someone had nothing to do, so they stood bored on the high ground and looked at the busy civilians around them. The continuous movement of Jianlu's bodies was probably unprecedented.

When Li Erzhan saw this scene, he could imagine the shock in his heart. He had never expected that he would have seen so many corpses of Jianlu in this small Sheep Official Fort. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought he was dreaming. He was crazy, he was simply crazy. How could Jianlu have left so many corpses? Could it be that they were all beaten to death by the White Army? God, if that was true, the White Army would be too powerful!
