Zu Dashou failed to break through the first time. After losing more than 200 personal soldiers, he had to retreat to Daling River. Later, he organized several breakthroughs, but they were all beaten back. He also fell into Huang Taiji's plan to disguise reinforcements and went out of the city to respond, causing heavy losses.

Seeing that the food is getting smaller and smaller, after reducing the people's share of grain again, we can only support it for another five days.

Fortunately, Huang Taiji's purpose was to trap Zu Dashou to death and did not actively attack Dalinghe City, which made Zu Dashou a little more relaxed.

While patrolling the city, a cavalry rushed over outside the city. Zu Dashou looked at the Jiannu envoy who was rushing over with contempt and reached out to pick up the letter that shot up the city. This was the third letter of persuading surrender.

I tore it apart and looked at it. This was an explanation for the reason I refused to surrender last time: "I killed the Liao people in the past. I regret it deeply. We have long since stopped doing that. As for the massacre of the city in Yongping, it was done by Er Beile Amin, and he was severely punished for this. I hope you don't have this prejudice. So 2. As long as General Zu surrenders, I guarantee the safety of the soldiers and civilians in Dalinghe River."

Zu Dashou smiled contemptuously, stood at the top of the city, slowly tore Huang Taiji's letters up and down, and then threw them into the howling cold wind, and was too lazy to reply to a message.

On the 11th, Liu Tianlu, the army officer in charge of logistics for food and grass, came to report: "General, the food is gone."

Zu Dashou said without hesitation: "Kill the horse and reduce the food in half."

Liu Tianlu quietly looked outside, and then whispered: "If you kill the horse, then we will have no chance to break through. Please see, it's better to kill—"

"Shut up." Zu Dashou roared: "I am not a wild beast, and my soldiers cannot become a wild beast."

So, after Zu Dashou refused to surrender many times, he began to kill his horse and wait for reinforcements.

Zu Dashou was surrounded, and Sun Chengzong organized several rescues, but they were all repelled by Huang Taiji. In the field battle, the Jurchens were still the king of land.

Zu Dashou's brother-in-law Wu Xiang also organized a rescue of 10,000 people. But when he arrived at the battlefield, he saw the Eight Banners of Jiannu who were rushing up overwhelmingly. Before he could fight, he turned around and ran away. As a result, the army of 10,000 troops were disintegrated and collapsed in a blink of an eye. This time, less than 5,000 people fled back to Jinzhou City. Now, Wu Xiang closed the city gate tightly, avoiding Zu Dashou's wife and children in the city, and resolutely refused to fight.

The army needs to prepare sufficient preparations for the attack and rescue. Even though Liaodong Governor Zhang Keli promised that food and supplies would be provided by Liaoxi, artillery weapons must be carried, especially the Zhaoxing big troll, which is a great weapon to defeat the enemy and must be carried sufficiently.

In this case, no matter how anxious Zhao Xing was or how anxious Zhang Keli was, he had to wait until all the materials and equipment were loaded in the ship before he could start.

In this way, the time for departure was delayed by three days. In addition, after Zhang Keli arrived for three days, Daling River was surrounded for six days.

However, the army was in the north of late autumn. The fleet was heading against the wind and was still on the sea, making people anxious to jump into the sea. In this way, when they arrived at the mouth of Daling River, they were two days later than expected. In this way, Daling River was besieged for twelve days.

At the mouth of Daling River, there is no ready-made wharf, so people can land in the shallows, but the bulky artillery and other weapons cannot.

So, Zhao Xing ordered the soldiers to get off the ship first, collect materials locally, and build a temporary dock.

After Mao Zhongming received the order, he took 13,000 soldiers and climbed off the warship, waded through the cold shallow sea, and went ashore with difficulty. After organizing a line of warning, Mao Kexi took the second team out of the ship, put down his weapons, picked up tools, and began logging and building a dock.

There were no big trees along the coastal shallows, so the soldiers had to search north along the banks of the Daling River. This made the speed even slower.

The reinforcements are like putting out fire. According to history, Zu Dashou began to kill horses to fill his hunger. In another five days, Zu Dashou will kill people.

"Hurry, hurry up, hurry up." Zhao Xing had already started to talk to the brothers who were exhausted and built the dock in a pleading tone.

The reason why Zhao Xing was so anxious was that he could not let Zu Dashou have the result of cannibalism. Secondly, Jiannu could not have known such a big disturbance here. If they took advantage of their own half-passing attack, it would be their own disaster.

Even though Huang Taiji did not attack halfway, there were only 25,000 troops in Dongjiang Town now. They used these troops to fight Huang Taiji's 50,000 troops. Even though Zhao Xing believed that Dongjiang Town was already considered a real elite in the Ming army, Zhao Xing still had no confidence in winning.

Faced with the anxiety of the real commander, although the soldiers had done their best, they still mustered up the courage and accelerated their pace again.

It was noon, and the autumn tiger made Zhao Xing, who was standing on the warship, feel hot. This was actually his heart burning.

Similarly, Huang Taiji, who was outside Dalinghe City, had a leisurely mood and collapsed in an instant.

At the mouth of the Daling River, the news that the Denglai Navy's 500,000-item warships carrying soldiers from Dongjiang Town were preparing to land on the beach, which reached his ears, and immediately made him feel like a bolt from the blue, which made him feel dizzy at that time.

At the beginning, he estimated that Dongjiang Town, which was actually led by Zhao Xing, should have been on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, but unexpectedly, he took the initiative to rescue Daling River.

At the beginning, Zhao Xing was a ghost person, but now, Zhao Xing was actually a fool.

He summoned Fan Wencheng urgently and faced Fan Wenchengtong's report: "Zhao Xing is a clever man. There are no outsiders here. I have a high opinion of him. For example, he clearly knew that the Eight Great Masters prepared sufficient food for us in the capital and created chaos. But he tolerated it quietly, but he gave us a fatal blow at the most critical moment. He eased the situation of the Ming Dynasty and pulled the little Emperor Chongzhen out of internal and external troubles. At the same time, he led his troops to suddenly occupy Zunhua and directly hit our weakness. But even though I valued him so much, he never expected that he would suddenly take a warship and kill the mouth of Daling River, and give me a fierce blow on my back. Sir, what should we do at this time?"

Seeing Huang Taiji who had underestimated Zhao Xing, Fan Wencheng calmly became calm: "Don't be distracted by sweating. In the eyes of the servant, this is a good thing."

Huang Taiji, who was really confused, couldn't help but ask: "What do you say sir?"

Fan Wencheng said casually: "The current situation is that Zu Dashou broke through several times, but we beat him back. We have seriously consumed his strength. He no longer dared to go out of the city to fight us. Sun Chengzong's several rescues were also surrounded by us and he was afraid to attack. Wu Xiang from Jinzhou was even more scared by us and did not dare to leave the city. Since this is the case, Zhao Xing's arrival happened to hit us. We crossed the sea to fight him. We could not do anything. Wasn't he just coming to the door? Without any worries, we sent 20,000 troops and directly attacked him halfway, annihilated the main force of Dongjiang Town. Isn't this what we wish?"

Huang Taiji slapped his head: "I am really a mystery to those who encounter things. Thanks to the gentleman's calm reminder, isn't this a good thing for us?"

Then he immediately ordered loudly, "Ajige, Manguertai, immediately reorganize the troops and annihilate Zhao Xing's Dongjiang Town directly at the beach."

Ajige and Mangurtai, who rushed over, immediately responded loudly and turned around without hesitation. The whole team of soldiers and soldiers joined forces to fight toward the mouth of Daling River.
