Huang Degong just made idle noises in the first few days. When he heard that Tatars were coming to investigate from time to time, he found an opportunity and ordered the killing of Tatars within a radius of twenty miles. He even went out to the camp to fight in person when he felt like it.
.
Shi Kefa could not suppress him, either historically or now, and he did not make any big moves, so he just turned a blind eye and ignored him. Now Huang Degong was like a wild horse running wild, his moves became bigger and bigger, not only
After killing the Tatars in the territory, the detective horses went deep into the trap and sent a large number of scouts to the capital to investigate.
This trip was a serious one. Information soon arrived that the Tatars had laid siege to the city and were building siege equipment. They wanted to attack the imperial capital!
After getting the information, Shi Kefa and the others were overjoyed. They finally knew how the little eunuch used to hold off the Tatars so that Zhou Yuji and Li Yan could calmly go and set up an ambush.
Feed the tiger with your body!
Is it just that the Tatars' brains are broken? Why is the capital city so thick and easy to fight? Shi Kefa couldn't figure it out. Although his military command skills were not as good as those of Zhou Yuji and other generals who had been on the front line all year round, he also knew that there were no artillery.
I'm afraid it won't be effective if done manually.
Huang Degong did not have the determination to do so, and clamored to send troops to relieve the siege. Shi Kefa advised: "The little governor asked me to wait for the order to move, and not to act randomly."
"Waiting for an order! The Tatars are besieging the city. He wants to send orders to us, but we are unable to do so. I am afraid that he will get angry early."
"General Huang, you underestimate the governor too much. If he wanted to mobilize his troops, he would have sent people to deliver orders in countless ways. He must be confident at this time. General Huang cannot mess with the overall situation. The walls of the capital are high and thick, and the Tatars
There are no artillery weapons, and there are only tens of thousands of troops. It is extremely difficult to break through the city! I think the young governor faced King Chuang's army of hundreds of thousands in the eunuch, but did not let them enter the city. This time, the Tatars can't get any advantage." Shi Kefa
Be patient and comfort.
But Huang Degong didn't listen to him at all: "What do you mean, I messed up the overall situation? Master Shangshu, haven't you noticed that the overall situation has been messed up at this time? If we don't intervene in the crisis of the capital, let alone the affairs of Taiyuan City
, although the intruders had an army of more than 100,000 at that time, they were mostly mobs, and there were nearly 100,000 troops of Zhou Yuji in Taiyuan City. They were all tough soldiers who had been fighting all year round. What was there in the capital now? It was full of troops from the capital and personal guards.
It's only a hundred thousand and they are all vegetables. How can we resist the Tatars who are as fierce as tigers and wolves? Besides, artillery is not the only weapon for defending the city. Artillery is by no means foolproof. In the past, the Tatars did not have artillery and still attacked the city outside the pass.
Every time I enter the customs, I still break countless cities..."
Shi Kefa hesitated, never thinking that he would be persuaded to go: "How do you like it?"
Huang Degong's idea was very simple and crude: to organize a mobile force to participate in the war at any time.
Previously, Chang Yu transferred Zhou Yuji and Li Yan's troops away with a transfer order, but most of them were infantry. Those who stayed in Daxing were mostly cavalry. For example, nearly 20,000 cavalry from Jinwu Guard and Tengxiang Guard stayed here.
The scouts were out in all directions. Huang Degong ordered the scouts to keep an eye on the capital for twelve hours without blinking an eyelid. If there was any sign of trouble, he would report it immediately. He would send troops to rush for reinforcements as soon as possible. When the Tatars attacked the city, they would attack fiercely from behind.
Blow his asshole.
At the same time, a powerful mobile cavalry was formed to attack the Tatar cavalry, which was said to be invincible. Huang Degong had selfish motives in this matter. To be precise, he was very unconvinced.
At this time, Daxing had tens of thousands of troops. In addition to his own direct troops, there were also Jinwu Guards, Tengxiang Guards, some surrendered rebels, and even the follow-up troops of Zhou Yuji and Li Yan. It was not difficult to mobilize 10,000 cavalry.
You can even go directly to Jinwu Guard or Tengxiang Guard.
But Huang Degong didn't want to do this. The first thing he wanted was tough soldiers, but the tough soldiers that the Tatar cavalry wanted to compete with. Although the Jinwu Guards and Tengxiang Guards had participated in several battles in recent months, their combat experience and strength had undergone qualitative changes.
But there is still a gap between them and the veterans under Zhou Yuji, not to mention the Tatar cavalry that everyone talks about.
Secondly, in Daxing City, in addition to some of Li Yan's troops, there were also his subordinates who had fought with the Tatars outside the pass many years ago. This was also the area where he was most dissatisfied with Li Yan.
His subordinates are obviously just a mob, but they went around outside the customs and made great achievements in battle. They were also received by the emperor and given the title of righteous army. Thinking that he has been fighting hard for many years... is he not as good as a few surrendered thieves?
So Huang Degong mobilized 5,000 elite cavalry from his direct troops and selected cavalry from other departments, totaling more than 12,000 cavalry. It was the strongest cavalry in the Ming Dynasty at this time. During these days, he monitored
The cavalry was being trained while the situation in the capital was changing.
But last night, the scouts urgently reported that there were suddenly more Tatars exploring the south of the capital. The scouts who had infiltrated the capital concluded from some traces that the Tatars were about to take action.
After hearing the news, Huang Degong personally put on his armor and led more than ten thousand cavalry to march north slowly. Shi Kefa watched him go away with a solemn expression, wondering whether this move was right or wrong.
Huang Degong, however, was thinking like this. He only wanted to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service. He led his troops for more than ten miles and it was raining. He couldn't help but cursed that the weather was really causing traffic jams. This was simply aiding the evil. He naturally knew that rainy days were causing trouble to the city's artillery.
Influence.
After walking for more than ten miles, the scouts from the front came galloping forward: the Tatars had attacked the city, and thousands of Tatar cavalry were galloping over ten miles ahead.
Huang Degong sneered, "Thousands? Damn it, I really think I'm a loser." He brandished his knife and roared: "My sons, you couldn't kill the traitors the day before yesterday. There is nothing worth showing off. There are Tatars in front of you. We will kill them except for the defending country."
Humiliation, this is when a good man becomes famous..."
The wind and rain were getting worse and morale was high. More than ten thousand Ming troops drew their swords and roared, and galloped northward on their horses.
Under the imperial capital, the Qing army was still carrying out a fierce siege. Thousands of civilians were climbing stairs under the city. More than 20,000 Qing troops were either carrying knives and climbing ladders to attack the city, shooting bows, or launching trebuchets. Countless arrows, rockets, and fireballs were fired at one time.
, throwing rocks at the Ming troops defending the city.
A few miles away from the north of the city, Dorgon looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. Rainwater flowed down his helmet. God help me. This heavy rain made the Ming army's artillery useless. Hahaha, hum. So what if I don't have artillery? In the past ten days,
In the past few years, I have relied on my flesh and blood to conquer countless cities and lands!
A fast horse galloped over: "Report to the prince, more than 10,000 Ming troops were found twenty miles south of the city. The ten princes sent 5,000 troops to fight. At this time, Nancheng did not launch an attack..."
Dorgon was startled at first, then sneered, waving his hand to signal Tan Ma to leave. Nancheng was meant to contain the troops. As long as his men and horses were under the city, they could contain the Ming army on the city regardless of whether they fought or not. As for the more than 10,000 Ming troops in the south of the city,
He even thought it was funny. He didn't go to you or burn incense, but he gave it to you like a fool. He really didn't know how powerful the Qing Dynasty's cavalry was.
"Send the order and step up the attack on the city. At noon, I will drink tea and watch a play on the dragon chair of the Ming Emperor!"
Dorgon looked up to the sky and roared, and Jie Jie's sneer pierced the sky and reached into the sky. The little eunuch on the mountain of Andingmen City seemed to have heard it, and he laughed non-stop while looking towards the north.
