In the tenth lunar month, Hong Chengchou left Shanhai Pass and summoned eight generals: Wu Sangui, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, Bai Guang'en, Ma Ke, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu and Tang Tong. The Ming troops under their control, numbering up to 100,000 infantry heavily armed with matchlock muskets and 40,000 cavalry, were ordered to liberate Jinzhou. Meanwhile, Zu Dashou still maintained the defence of Jinzhou and used Songshan, Xishan and Tashan as defensive wings. On the Qing side, generals Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi were ordered to reinforce the troops laying siege to Jinzhou.
