Nahai saw that it was impossible for Hailancha to go out of the city to rescue the siege, so he backed down and said: "Since you are unwilling to leave the city, I hope you can cooperate with me to defend the city. I think you don't want to see anything happen to Jinzhou City. .”

He did not trust the Han generals in Jinzhou City, and if he wanted to defend Jinzhou City, he knew clearly that he needed the cooperation of all the Jurchens in Jinzhou City, especially Jurchen generals like Hai Lancha.

"Don't worry, I won't mess around with the defense of the city." Hailancha himself didn't want to see anything happen to Jinzhou City.

Regarding the matter of Jinzhou City, the two have this common interest.

Nahai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

He was afraid that Hailancha would ignore the overall situation and act randomly for the sake of pleasure, causing trouble in Jinzhou City. Now that Hailancha had the guarantee, he could rest assured.

Based on his understanding of Hailancha, even if it is just a verbal guarantee, the other party will never abandon it.

"You have to keep an eye on the Han generals. They are Han people. There is no guarantee that they will collude secretly when the tiger thieves are powerful." Nahai reminded Hailancha.

He did not like those Han generals and never concealed his dislike for them.

If there were not too few Jurchens, far less than there were many Ming people, and Dajin needed these Han generals to work hard and fight with the Ming army, otherwise he would not even have a single Han general by his side.

Hai Lancha said: "Don't worry, those Han generals will not dare to betray Dai Jin even if they lend them some courage."

Having been with Nahai for so long, he naturally knew what Nahai was worried about.

"You still have to be careful. In the past, when we captured Liaoyang, Guangning and other cities, it was because they betrayed themselves and took the initiative to open the city for Dajin. Fang Dajun entered the city. The same thing must not happen in Jinzhou." Nahai warned. .

Hailancha said: "Instead of wasting energy on the Han generals in the city, it is better to think about preparing more defensive equipment so that we can hold on for a while until reinforcements arrive."

"Let those Han generals prepare what equipment is needed to defend the city. The Ming people are better at defending the city than us. These Han generals know exactly what to use to defend the city." Nahai explained.

Hearing this, Hai Lancha said: "Can you trust those Han generals and are you not afraid of them secretly sabotaging them?"

He didn't quite believe that Nahai would let the Han generals in the city prepare things to defend the city.

"With you watching, those Han generals will not dare to mess around." Nahai looked at Hai Lancha and said.

As the defender of Jinzhou City, it is impossible to do everything by yourself. Many things need to be left to the people below, and Hailancha is the best candidate.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on them." Hailancha nodded in agreement.

In fact, he didn't trust the Han generals in the city that much, especially during this critical period.

Qin Baihu left Nahai and came to a courtyard.

As soon as he arrived, people waiting in the yard immediately gathered around him.

"Did Beiyu say anything?"

"Are there any reinforcements? When will they arrive?"

"Did you tell me how to fight the next battle?"

The people gathered around were all the Han generals in the city, asking all kinds of questions, but they were all concerned about what to do next.

Qin Baihu glanced at the Han generals surrounding him.

A large number of these Han generals were later promoted by Nahai. Most of the Han generals who were familiar with him died in Nanguan Island.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry." Qin Baihu pushed aside a Han general who was blocking his way, walked to the stone bench in the middle of the yard and sat down.

The surrounding Han generals also followed him to the area around the stone table and benches.

The Han general, who thought he had some status, took advantage of the opportunity to sit on the free stone bench. However, his status was not high, and because there were not enough stone benches, he could only stand aside and stare at Qin Baihu.

Qin Baihu wanted to pick up his tea cup and take a sip of water. Seeing the empty table, he gave up this plan and said to the Han generals around him: "I know everyone is worried that Jinzhou City cannot be defended, but you can rest assured that we will recover." Reinforcements from Zhouzhou and Gaizhou will arrive soon. Not only will they be able to relieve the siege of Jinzhou, but they will also be able to take this opportunity to deal with these tiger thieves who are besieging the city."

"Gaizhou's soldiers and horses are too far away. There is a saying that water from afar cannot quench the thirst of those nearby. What if the tiger thieves break through Jinzhou City before Gaizhou's soldiers and horses arrive?" said a man named Chen.

"The tiger thieves are not Ming soldiers, so they are not that easy to deal with." Another Baihu surnamed Liu next to him agreed.

Qin Baihu glanced at the two people who were talking, and said: "Gaizhou's reinforcements will arrive in Jinzhou in a few days at most. Is it possible that you won't be able to hold on for a few days? Besides, even if Gaizhou's reinforcements cannot arrive in time, When they arrive, there will be reinforcements from Fuzhou, and given the distance between Fuzhou and Jinzhou, they will be able to arrive in two days at most."

"Fuzhou really sent reinforcements?" Chen Baihu asked again worriedly.

Qin Baihu nodded vigorously and said: "I heard it with my own ears at Beiyu's place. He has already asked Fuzhou for help. It's not like you don't know Beiyu's identity. Fuzhou's guard will definitely not watch our Jin. Something happened to the state.”

After some comfort and persuasion from Qin Baihu, the men finally calmed down their anxious minds.

As long as the Han generals in the city can work together to defend Jinzhou City, he believes that even if the number of tiger-character flag soldiers and horses outside the city is several times that in the city, Jinzhou City will be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive.

He didn't even think about surrendering to the Tiger Flag.

In Liaodong, the Jurchens are the most powerful. Even the hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers and horses can only huddle in the city and dare not go out to fight. Even if the Tiger Character Banner wins one or two battles, it is a small-scale battle. In Liaodong, Tiger Flag is still the weakest party.

The Han generals in Jinzhou City were busy trying to defend Jinzhou City.

These Han generals had similar thoughts to Qin Baihu. After seeing how powerful the Jurchens were, they did not think that the tiger-character flag could provoke the Jurchens on the ground in Liaodong.

The previous worry was also that Jinzhou City could not be defended. Even if the Jurchens recaptured Jinzhou City, they would not have the status of Han generals who had defected from the Ming army.

Now that we know that reinforcements will arrive soon, we have more confidence in defending the city.

The city was busy, and everything needed to defend the city was sent to the top of the city. Even a lot of gold juice was prepared.

However, while the defenders inside Jinzhou City were busy, Xing Chaoxi outside the city was not in a hurry to attack the city.

Only human lives can be used to capture a city. The casualties on the attacking side will be huge, and one's own side may even be defeated before the city is captured.

He didn't have many troops in his hands, so he naturally wouldn't choose this method of siege.

Moreover, if the soldiers and horses with the Tiger Flag in Lushun suffer serious casualties when attacking Jinzhou, Lushun will also be unstable. Even if the slaves counterattack, the situation that the Tiger Flag has just opened in Lushun may be ruined.

Unlike Pidao, Port Arthur could not bully the slave thieves because of their lack of strength at sea.
