() The General Military Mansion of Ji Town was originally located in Santun Camp. The General Military Mansion of Ji Town was Zhao Lijiao. However, at this time, it had been sealed by General Ping Liao and moved to Shanhaiguan. The person in charge of San Tun Camp was the new General Military Officer Zhu Guoyan.
It was already three o'clock in the morning, and Zhu Guoyan was still drunk. When the news of the Tatar invasion came, he was woken up by his close servant.
When Zhu Guoyan heard this, he broke into a cold sweat. He woke up from the wine and stopped falling asleep. He hurried to the lobby to ask the messenger soldier for details: "So what is the level of the beacon signal?"
"The beacon fire went out as soon as it rose, and the level was not confirmed yet."
Could it be that the Tatars invaded in large numbers? But the Mongolian Duoyan tribe in Guankou only talked about it, and they didn't have the guts to gather all the tribes to invade? Could it be that they accidentally slipped into the trap? This is not a child's play.
Zhu Guoyan thought about it over and over, but couldn't think clearly, and was about to order another investigation. He heard a commotion outside the door, and then soon, someone broke in.
Before Zhu Guoyan could see clearly, he heard the visitor saying in panic: "Jianlu, Jianlu, the Tatars are invading in a big way."
Zhu Guoyan took a closer look and saw that it was Wang Chunchen, a guerrilla from Longjing Pass. He was wearing only thin clothes, but he wore a helmet crookedly on his head, and his face was covered with sweat.
"What, Jianlu Tatars? Do you see clearly?" Zhu Guoyan asked, regardless of whether Wang Chunchen was cold or hot in this winter.
"Yes, yes, the Tatars are being captured. Many, many, many of them are attacking in the early morning."
"How much exactly?"
In fact, Wang Chunchen didn't have time to see clearly how many Tatars there were. Anyway, Longjing Pass was lost, so it would be better to report more. So he said: "Probably, about four or five thousand."
Zhu Guoyan looked at Wang Chunchen's appearance and thought to himself, this guy may have run out in his sleep. None of the beacon towers outside were burning, and there were a lot of people. The Tatars came all the way to attack, and they were probably more than four or five thousand.
number.
Thinking of this, he quickly sent an order to report to the rear, and conducted a beacon summons according to the number of tens of thousands of Tatars.
At this moment, the noise outside the house became louder and louder, and Zhu Guoyan heard it. He asked the soldiers to go out and check.
After a while, the soldiers reported that the people in the city had heard that the Jianlu were attacking and were packing up their belongings and leaving the city to flee to the rear.
This was so good that Zhu Guoyan stopped paying attention to Wang Chunchen, and just said to him viciously before leaving: "What a good thing you did!", and then ordered the city gate to be closed, and the soldiers in the camp gathered at the military parade ground to prepare to go to the city to guard the city.
.I also quickly went to put it on.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the parade ground, I found that only two-quarters of the soldiers had gathered. Didn't I only eat a quarter of my free pay? Why was it so much less? At this time, my subordinates came down to report the soldiers who had not arrived.
When he heard that Jianlu was attacking, he slipped away among the people.
Zhu Guoyan was helpless and led his team to the city wall. He found that the streets near the city gate were blocked by the people dragging their children with their children. He used whips to clear the way before he climbed onto the city wall and found that some people who had seen the opportunity had already escaped from the city.
.Zhu Guoyan could only pay attention and send him off.
Zhu Guoyan encouraged the soldiers on the city wall and was about to go back to convene a meeting with his officers. Suddenly he found that the people who had left were running back again. Could it be that he had a conscience and wanted to tide over the crisis with his general?
As we got closer, we discovered that the common people were all running back crying for their fathers and mothers. Behind them, there was a large group of Jianlu Tatars chasing them on horseback. However, it didn't look like they were on a battlefield between the enemy and ourselves. Instead, they seemed to be grazing. Yes, these common people were being chased.
Serve as their cattle and sheep for grazing.
Those who were weak and were running slower would kill them with a knife. When they saw a few smart ones who wanted to run away from the group, they would shoot them with arrows and drive their "cattle and sheep" toward the city gate.
When they were within a stone's throw of the city wall, the Jianlu Tatars dispersed and surrounded the common people, laughing loudly at the frightened common people surrounding them.
One of the cavalrymen who looked like a leader turned around and walked a few steps towards the city wall, and then said something in a gibbering tone, but no one could understand it anyway.
Then the man turned around and gave an order, and the remaining Jianlu Tatars dispersed into a large circle and began to shoot arrows at the crowd inside, as if they were chatting with friends at home and shooting targets to compete with their archery skills. The common people
, no matter the old, weak, women and children, they were all like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Even though they cried and begged for mercy, it was to no avail. They were supposed to be cared for, and slowly no one was left standing.
However, the group of Jianlu Tatars did not give up, and began to speed up on horseback, trampling on the common people who had fallen to the ground. They were playing unscrupulously, and seemed not to care about the Ming army in the city.
There was silence on the city walls, and no one was firing arrows or cannons. They just looked at the human tragedy outside the city, feeling either nervous or petrified.
Finally, the group of Jianlu Tatars dismounted and searched for the corpses, and pulled back the still-usable arrows. Occasionally, one or two Tatars could be seen cheering, as if they had found something good.
Finally, the Jianlu Tatars left calmly. Some even threw a few heads towards the city wall before leaving.
Zhu Guoyan was frightened by this group of Jianlu Tatars. He had only heard about the ferocity and warlikeness of the Jianlu Tatars before, but now he really saw such tough Tatars, unscrupulous and outrageous under the enemy's wall. Side view
It shows his battlefield psychological quality, which can only be possessed by veterans who often kill people, and they are veterans who often win battles. His subordinates have no ability to deal with him, not even the most elite servants.
Zhu Guoyan looked in the direction where Jianlu was going, and quickly ordered to block the door with stones and wait for help.
In the next two days, the Jianlu Tatars often came in groups to perform, juggling, shooting arrows, etc. to show off their abilities, and then roared away again.
Finally, Zhu Guoyan ordered the city gate to be completely blocked. As the fighting continued, there was no need to think about opening the city gate.
On October 30th, Pingliao General Zhao Lijiao, named Xilong and named Mingshan, was asking for instructions at Yuan Chonghuan's residence after receiving the beacon summons. Because he belonged to Yuan Jiezhi.
When Yuan Chonghuan heard the report, he thought it was unlikely. When would the Mongolian Tatars have the courage to entangle tens of thousands of people to knock on the pass? Only Jianlu could do this, but it is reported that Jianlu is currently present in Jinzhou.
So it's impossible.
Zhao led the teacher and said: "Supervisor, I heard that the Holy One had ordered Governor Shuntian Youqiandu Yushi Wang Yuanya to strengthen defenses to prevent Jianlu from breaking through his defense line. If Jianlu really breaks through from him,
Enter, the Holy General ordered Wang Yuanya to stick to Zunhua, and recruited the entire army of Qin Wang to fight the Jianlu on the front line of Zunhua. At the same time, he sent us to go straight to Shenyang. Do you think the Jianlu will really take a detour to invade?"
Yuan Chonghuan pondered for a moment and said: "I have heard such rumors before. However, the Jianlu attacked Jinzhou; now they appear outside Jinzhou City. There is a possibility that the Jianlu will attack in a detour, but it is not big. I will think about it again.
.”
"Then it's possible that Jianlu also heard about the emperor's plan and thought that he could take a detour, but instead gave Jianlu a warning?"
"No, I am stationed on the front line of Ningjin. It is difficult for the news to reach Jianlu in a short time." Yuan Chonghuan said decisively. Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that the Han Jian who was involved happened to pass the news, and moreover,
The United are plotting against him.
At this moment, the guards at the gate came to announce the arrival of the imperial edict from the capital.
Yuan Chonghuan and Zhao Shujiao looked at each other. Could it be that they were really Jianlu?
Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen's imperial edict stated that in Zunhua, the front line of the Santun camp was attacked by the main force of Jianlu and was in danger. Yuan Chonghuan was asked to lead the main force of Guan Ning to rescue immediately without delay.
After receiving the imperial edict, Yuan Chonghuan did not doubt the authenticity of the eunuch who passed the edict at all, because the words, deeds, and identity tokens of the eunuch who passed the edict were all normal, including the imperial edict. He was just a little bit confused as to why Emperor Chongzhen knew it was Jian Jian so quickly.
The main force of the captives. (Generally, no one would expect that eunuchs familiar with palace affairs would help Jianlu to falsely pass on imperial edicts.)
The eunuch who passed the order explained to Emperor Chongzhen. It was said that it was about friends from Outer Mongolia who encountered the main force of the Jianlu captives on the way and were heading towards Xifengkou. So they learned about it in advance. As for the Ming army in Zunhua and Santun camp, their winter combat capability was weak, so obviously
He was no match for the main force of Jianlu, so he asked the supervisor to go to the rescue and ensure the safety of the capital.
After sending away the eunuch who delivered the edict, Yuan Chonghuan realized in his mind that the Holy Emperor's edict this time was different from what was previously rumored. The key lies in whether Zunhua can abide by it. It seems that now he is worried that Zunhua cannot abide by it, so he has changed his strategy.
He asked himself to go to the rescue.
If Zunhua falls, the capital city will be under the hooves of Jianlu. There are still Jianlu on the Jinzhou front line. Even if you want to go straight to Shenyang, you have to consider whether to fight or not. If the Zunhua line is empty, Jinzhou
The first line is truth, so if you want to go straight to Shenyang, you will be putting the meat into Jianlu's mouth. No, it is better to save Zunhua, and you don't have to worry about being drowned by Yanguan's saliva.
Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan made a decision and said to Zhao Lijiao: "Mingshan, I ordered you to personally lead 4,000 cavalrymen of our headquarters to rush to Zunhua at night to aid Zunhua, and set up three camps on the front line. It is best to enter the city to defend.
Arrive and attack Jianlu from both inside and outside."
Zhao Shujiao received the order and was about to leave when he was stopped by Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan asked Zhao Shujiao a little worriedly: "Mingshan, running on a starry night, can your body handle it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao led the teaching and became unhappy: "Supervisor, don't look down on me. Although I am over sixty years old, I can ride a horse and wear armor. A real man should be proud to wrap his body in horse leather."
So Zhao led the teacher to say goodbye and left.
If the main force of 10,000 Jianlu troops could be annihilated, it would be an unprecedented victory. However, the Jianlu Tatars were extremely powerful. To kill 10,000 Jianlu troops, the main force would have to be exhausted. Yuan Chonghuan thought of this and began to calculate the troops at hand.
, the front line of Ningjin still needs to be defended, but as long as enough food and grass are stored in the city, infantry can defend it. And it will be troublesome for the captives in the pass to flee in all directions, and they have to use cavalry to fight the cavalry. The only solution for now is to gather all the passers-by.
Ning Tieqi went away. Zhao led 4,000 cavalry to support him. There should be enough time to assemble.
Thinking of this, Yuan Chonghuan began to send orders to deliver grain and grass to Guanning and Jinzhou, and to assemble cavalry. The sooner the better.
Besides, as soon as the eunuch who delivered the order left, he immediately changed his appearance in a no-man's land and went to Fan Yongdou's secret residence in Shanhaiguan to report that Yuan Chonghuan had accepted the order.
Because this matter was extremely important, the person in charge of the secret station was Fan Yongdou himself. After arranging for the eunuch to leave, Fan Yongdou was still uneasy and sent people to inquire about the news to see if there were any signs of troop mobilization.
After receiving the confirmed news, Fan Yongdou was overjoyed and immediately sent people to hurry up and deliver the news to Huang Taiji.
Zhao Lijiao couldn't just leave. He needed to assemble his troops, arrange food and fodder, etc. Naturally, he couldn't match the speed of Fan Yongdou sending people to deliver letters. His departure really fulfilled his wish to "shroud his body in horse leather".
