Chapter 22 Attack and Defense

() When Duduo arrived at Huang Taiji's station, he found that he was the last one to arrive.

Dorgon saw that his brother was late for a military meeting, and everyone was paying attention. He knew that this younger brother was a bit reckless and very strong. If others didn't ask, I'm afraid they wouldn't explain the reason, and it would be remembered in their hearts.

So, he said: "Fifteenth brother, didn't you come here behind me? Why did you arrive so late?"

"A Han dog dared to attack my Golden Warrior, but I caught him, so I was delayed for a while." Duduo saw his brother asking, and answered while walking to his seat.

When Huang Taiji saw that everyone had arrived, he spoke: "Dear Belles, leaders of all clans."

This time everyone was quite satisfied with what they had grabbed, and they were happy and did not care about Duduo being late. Seeing Huang Taiji talking, they all calmed down and listened.

"I've called everyone here to discuss how to move forward, whether to go back or continue to fight, and where to fight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sanbeile Manggurtai stood up and said, "What's there to discuss? There are a lot of things this time, and it won't be easy to escape with so many things if the Ming army surrounds us after a long time."

Relying on his usual reckless character, Mang Gurtai made his statement first. The first reason for doing so was of course that he felt full, indeed this time more than ever before; the second and most important reason was that he felt full.

The key point is that if you continue to rob, the more things you get, the higher the prestige of Huang Taiji will be. This is what he doesn't want to see, and it's also what his other brothers don't want to see. If he can see this, he won't

I’m sure others don’t see this;

Sure enough, the few Baylors who had the strength to compete for the throne all agreed, while the few Baylors with lower qualifications did not say anything.

Before Huang Taiji could speak, an unexpected person spoke first.

"What are you afraid of? The Ming army's silver spears are useless, but they are of no use. What's more, they are satisfied with this thing? In my opinion, if you go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it will be the richest there, and all the good stuff will be there!

"

When everyone took a look, it turned out to be a Taiji from the Tumut tribe. He was quite courageous, daring to refute the reputation of all the Dajinbeile.

In fact, this Taiji of the Tumut tribe is not very courageous. Although he was once powerful, his current power is very small. He just joined Daikin this year.

The reason why he spoke so boldly was because of the dazzling interests and wealth. He continued: "Everyone, do you still remember the former king of our Tumote tribe, Ida Khan? According to the tribe, Ida Khan was

Lead the sons and daughters into the pass, go where they want to go, and rob this and that. It’s not like they have never been to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty didn’t even dare to fart. Khan, take us to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.”

After hearing what he said, the other Mongolian tribe leaders stood up and shouted in agreement.

Duduo, who was on the side, looked at their expressions, as if the kama cow had ascended to heaven. He couldn't help but patted the handle of the chair and shouted: "What are you yelling about? Shut up!"

After those Mongolian leaders were drunk like this, they immediately realized that things are different now, and the women are really awesome. I just followed them here to drink soup. So they all shut up their sins obediently and sat back in their seats.

.

Duduo glanced at the group of slaves, and then, with all his strength, he said: "Ada Khan, Anda Khan, what is Anda Khan? What is there to show off in the capital of the Ming Dynasty?"

After a pause, he raised his chin and said: "In the days of Dajin, we attacked all the capitals of the Song Dynasty. Emperor Guang captured two of them. Do you have any answers?!"

All the Mongolian leaders thought of what happened hundreds of years ago, but they were thinking in their hearts: Back then, your country, Dajin, was destroyed by our Mongols. Why are you so arrogant? Oh, tigers entered the plains and were bullied by dogs.

!But I want to think about it, but I don’t dare to show this intention.

When Duduo said this, the other Jurchen Belles thought about the past, and their blood couldn't help but boil, so they all asked for a fight.

Seeing the situation, Mang Gurtai and others no longer insisted on their opinions.

Seeing that Huang Taiji's morale was so high, and what he learned from Fan Yongdou, he weighed it up and decided to try to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty. If he couldn't capture it, he would just grab a handful and leave. If he accidentally captured it, it would be an accident.

Overjoyed.

Huang Taiji ordered: The remaining generals Ying Erdai, guerrilla Li Sizhong and Wen Cheng and eight other members of the army were stationed in Zunhua, leading 800 troops. The property and prisoners obtained previously were escorted back by a small number of Jurchen soldiers. The order was sent.

Attack the headquarters of the three camps and gather together to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

He was not worried at all that Santun Camp would not be able to capture it: from the previous intimidation of Santun Camp, it can be seen that the Ming army there was as timid as a mouse and had no combat power, and the siege equipment built during the rest period a few days ago were all useless.

Already allocated to them, and still threatening Zhao Zhiwei, if they can't conquer it, they would be really stupid.

The reason why Fan Wencheng was retained was because his previous performance impressed him. Zunhua was an important escape route for Daikin, so he was sent to advise Ying Erdai.

Besides, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, arranged the defense and dispatched the troops. It was already the third day of November. Ningyuan's commander-in-chief Zu Dashou, deputy general He Kegang and others were assembled, leading more than 20,000 cavalry troops.

Before setting off, Zu Dashou met Yuan Chonghuan secretly: "Supervisor, the more than 20,000 cavalry troops are the elite of Guan Ning. If the losses in this field battle with Jianlu are too large, I am afraid it will be unbearable!"

The reason why Yuan Chonghuan acted on his own and ignored the court before was because he relied on the nearly 30,000 Guan Ning cavalry. As long as this force is there, no one can ignore him.

After listening to Zu Dashou's suggestion, I think it makes sense. But now if the infantry is temporarily transferred, it can only be transferred from Shanhaiguan. If it is transferred less, it will be useless. If it is transferred too much, what will happen to the defense of Shanhaiguan? Yuan Chonghuan can't help but hesitate a little.

.

Zu Dashou knew what Yuan Chonghuan was worried about, so he suggested: "The Tatars are far away in Jinzhou. Jinzhou and Guan Ning have already taken precautions and strengthened the walls to clear the country. If Jianlu bypasses Jinzhou and Guan Ning comes to attack Shanhaiguan, there will be no logistics, so the troops

Definitely not too many. Attack the natural barrier of Shanhaiguan from the front and leave a small amount of infantry behind to cope with it."

Yuan Chonghuan felt that what he said was reasonable, so he dispatched Zhu Mei, the former commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, and Xu Fuzu, the deputy commander-in-chief, with 15,000 infantry troops to support Zunhua.

Because of the temporary deployment of infantry and the preparation of food and logistics, it was delayed for a day;

On the fourth day of November, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, led more than 20,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry, leaving Shanhaiguan to support Zunhua.

In the afternoon, the army was not moving fast because of the infantry. It was only about twenty miles away. Yuan Chonghuan, accompanied by Zu Dashou and He Kegang, walked in front of the cavalry. Suddenly, a cavalry from the front came galloping forward. Everyone saw that it was sent by the army.

If it is not collected at night, there will be no obstruction.

Lai Qiu turned over and dismounted in front of the Supervisor's "Yuan" flag, and stepped forward to report: "Report to the Supervisor, an unconscious man was found more than 20 miles ahead. One of Guan Ning's army horses was killed. He woke up and claimed to be a corps commander under Marshal Zhao.

It has been verified that what he said is true.”

When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he frowned and thought badly: "Where are the people?"

"Comatose again!"

"Send the order..." Before he finished speaking, Yuan Chonghuan gave his beloved horse a whip and rushed forward. Zu Dashou and He Kegang also knew that the situation was not good, and hurriedly led their guards to follow.

The unconscious person was Zhu Yuanzhong, who had escaped from diarrhea before. His survival instinct made him run for two hundred miles, and when he finally died from exhaustion, he also fell unconscious.

After being rescued and found out that he was a colleague, he felt relieved and fainted again.

The cold north wind was blowing, and no one could be seen on the official road where people used to come and go. Only Yuan Chonghuan and his party rode by on fast horses, raising dust.

Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly hurriedly arrived at Zhu Yuanzhong's place and saw that he was still unconscious. At this time, Yuan Chonghuan was already anxious and ordered to pour cold water on Zhu Yuanzhong to wake him up.

On a very cold day, Zhu Yuanzhong woke up without wanting to wake up when he was stimulated by the ice water.

Finding that the person standing in front of him was Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, he threw himself on the ground and cried: "Supervisor, the commander is gone, the brothers are gone, the Tatars are all Tatars!"

Although Yuan Chonghuan knew there was bad news, he did not expect it to be so serious. He said with a frozen face: "Word by word, tell the truth!"

Zhu Yuanzhong told the whole story of what happened. Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou, and He Kegang could not help but look at each other in confusion. Jianlu had sent out his main force and had specially set up a pocket array, waiting for Guan Ningjun to send it up!

But there were several oddities in this matter. He wanted to ask again, but Zhu Yuanzhong fainted again at this time. Just as he was about to pour ice water on him again, there was a sound of horse hooves from behind.

When I got closer, I saw it was the eunuch again.

As the visitor approached, Yuan Chonghuan realized that this person was an eunuch who had been standing beside Emperor Chongzhen when he was dealing with him.

The visitor came closer and said in a sharp voice: "Master Yuan, make it easy to find our house!"

Then he pulled out the imperial edict from his back, straightened his body on horseback, and said to Yuan Chonghuan: "Yuan Chonghuan, Governor of Jiliao, accepts the edict."

This decree was to appoint him to take charge of the defense of the capital and repel the Tatars.

After Yuan Chonghuan received the imperial edict, he asked the eunuch who delivered the edict: "Does the father-in-law know whether the emperor sent someone to deliver the edict in the past few days?"

The eunuch who delivered the order blinked his little eyes, a little confused: "No!"

Ah, when Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he realized that the previous eunuch who had delivered the decree was a fake and was here to trick him. Not only did he lose an opportunity, but he also lost Zhao Shujiao and his four thousand Guan Ning cavalry.

I feel heartache right now!

Now the deal is done, there is nothing we can do, and there is no time to pursue the case of the fake eunuch for the time being.

Yuan Chonghuan asked someone to take out the map, and together with Zu Dashou and He Kegang, they observed the current situation between ourselves and the enemy.

Now with the strength and combat power of Jianlu, the front line of Zunhua is definitely no longer safe. The next step is probably to attack the capital.

If you are crazy to intercept the main force of Jianlu, you are seeking death. Naturally, you cannot do this, so give up.

At this time, only the cities that Jianlu must pass through before heading to the capital are waiting for Jianlu. With strong cities and powerful artillery, they can fight against Jianlu. If Jianlu cannot capture them, it will naturally be the same as outside the pass.

Will retreat.

One city that meets this condition is Jizhou.

Shanhaiguan's current military strength is too weak, and bringing infantry will slow down the journey. Anyway, there is a strong city, and these infantry are not needed. So Yuan Chonghuan ordered: Shanhaiguan's former commander Zhu Mei, deputy commander Xu Fuzuo, with a rate of 15,000

The Qianbu Army returned to Shanhaiguan to defend, focusing on the Jianlu in the pass who came to attack Shanhaiguan. He led Zu Dashou and He Kegang led more than 20,000 cavalry to Jizhou quickly.

After the order was given, the armies began to adjust their directions and take action. Of course, among the 15,000 infantry troops, there was one more patient: Zhu Yuanzhong.

Yuan Chonghuan was very anxious at this time, fearing that the Jianlu would be in trouble if they arrived at Jizhou first, so he ordered the whole army to speed up. Suddenly, a thick cloud of dust rose up from the already dry ground, and it was pity that Guan Ning's cavalry rear army was eating ashes.
