When Du Yinxi heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. If the 20,000 Jianlu cavalry could be retained, it would be much easier to attack Jinzhou.
And if the 20,000 cavalry troops can be annihilated, then the Jianlu army will suffer another major blow!
Yes, this time, we must fight a war of annihilation!
With this in mind, he immediately convened a military meeting and announced on the spot: "Twenty thousand Jianlu cavalry are led by Aisin Gioro Azige, the prince of Heshuoying. This man led troops to enter the Pass in the ninth year of Chongzhen.
He was plundered and caused heavy losses in the pass. If anyone can capture this man alive and present it to the capital, it will be a great achievement and your Majesty will give you a heavy reward!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately turned to look at Yan Yingyuan. This Jiangyin Bo was the reason why during the Battle of Jizhou, he captured alive the Jianlu commander Aisin Gioro Abatai!
Among the slave chiefs of Jianlu, this Azig's status is higher than that of Abatai. If someone can really capture him alive...
Thinking of this, many people immediately became jealous. Especially those who participated in the Battle of Jizhou, as well as Li Dingguo and others.
In their eyes, Jianlu was definitely no better than those armies that had not been reorganized. Those were all military merits! Especially the military merits of Azige, the biggest one!
Du Yinxi said this to boost morale. Then, he looked at Zhongzhen Hou Qin Liangyu and asked: "Your white pole army is all chariot camp, can it stop Jianlu?"
Qin Liangyu's Baigan Army, which numbered more than 10,000, had all been redressed. Upon hearing this question, he immediately replied without hesitation: "Don't worry, sir, unless Jianlu tramples on the corpses of all the Baigan Army,
Otherwise, there is no chance of passing!”
Du Yinxi felt Qin Liangyu's determination and thought that there was still a car camp, so it should be no problem.
However, he thought more and said to Qin Liangyu: "I will give you another military order. You can mobilize the soldiers of Ningyuan City to assist in the defense. You will take command!"
"General, I obey!" When Qin Liangyu heard this, she naturally would not say no. On the battlefield, it is not child's play. For her age, she knows better than anyone else.
So, Du Yinxi turned to look at Zheng Hongkui and asked seriously: "The fleet will set off immediately. How long will it take to reach Ningyuan?"
At this time, Zheng Hongkui had obviously done his homework, and instead of doing what he did last time, he immediately replied: "I will observe that unless the wind direction changes suddenly and the waves are too big to sail, I will guarantee that I will reach Ningyuan in one day and night, and only
It will be sooner rather than later."
It is about two hundred miles from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan, and the sea-going ships at this time were probably about seven or eight knots, because although the ships were all sea-going ships, they were of different sizes and were improvised. Zheng Hongkui estimated from Gaoli,
Given a day and a night.
After hearing this, Du Yinxi thought for a moment, then turned to Qin Liangyu and said: "It is also evening now. Your troops set out all night. The day after tomorrow, we must build an interception position. The day after tomorrow, I will launch a general offensive. What?
?”
In this era, communication is lagging behind, so we can only agree on this method in advance.
In the Battle of Sarhu in the last year of Wanli, the Ming army actually divided its troops into five groups to attack the Jianlu, and the rendezvous point was agreed upon in advance. As a result, due to various reasons, the troops in each group did not march according to the pre-arranged route, resulting in the inability to cooperate with each other.
, were eventually defeated by Jianlu one by one, thus leading to the rise of Jianlu.
In addition, Zeng Yinghui, a famous general in central Sichuan, died in battle, also because the army and navy cooperated differently, and the navy arrived at its destination too early;
Also, in the original history, when Liu Wenxiu led troops to attack Changde, which was occupied by the Jianlu troops, it was also because of inconvenient communication that the amphibious and land forces could not cooperate. The navy led by his subordinate Lu Mingchen arrived in Changde first and was besieged by the superior Jianlu army.
In the end, he died in battle, and the Battle of Changde ended in failure.
Precisely because of all these inconveniences, Du Yinxi did not give the order directly, but consulted Qin Liangyu's opinion on the timing of the general attack.
Qin Liangyu is a veteran, so he naturally understands the importance. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said: "General, I will obey!"
What this sentence means is that there is no problem!
When the time was agreed, Qin Liangyu received Du Yinxi's military order, and together with Zheng Hongkui, he gave Du Yinxi a fist salute, then turned around and walked out of the lobby, facing the sunset, and strode away.
The Baigan Army had previously given orders to set off at any time, and the camp's sidecars and artillery had not been unloaded on the ship, so they could set off quickly.
Thinking about this, Du Yinxi stopped caring about the waterway and said with a serious expression: "The rest of the tribes immediately prepared for war. In the early morning of the next day, they launched a general attack and chased Jianlu all the time, without giving Jianlu a chance to breathe.
, until it is destroyed in Ningyuan!"
"I will obey your orders, general!" All the generals present immediately came out of line upon hearing the voice, and responded loudly with clasped fists.
In other words, the army on the Shanhaiguan side is scheduled to set off in the early morning of the day after tomorrow. That means that the Guangning front garrison will hold off the Jianlu until the day after tomorrow. Among them, it will only take two days at most.
It should be no problem.
At least in Du Yinxi's opinion, that's what he thought.
However, sometimes, the more you think there is no problem, the more likely it is that something will go wrong.
From Du Yinxi's point of view, there was no problem at all with the Guangning Zhongqian Station, which was still behind the Qiantun Guard. However, by the afternoon of the next day, something went wrong.
Du Yinxi has also been dealt with and is preparing to move forward and take up residence in Ningyuan City to prepare for the next attack on Jinzhou.
As a result, while he was looking at the map and making final calculations, suddenly his bodyguards rushed in and reported to him urgently: "Sir, the commander of Guangning Zhongqian Station, Huang Huang, escaped back, and the Zhongqian Station was captured by Jianlu.
Got it!"
"What?" When Du Yinxi heard this, he was shocked and couldn't believe his ears: Has Zhongqian been conquered?
So, he immediately left the front office and prepared to ask clearly in person.
In the lobby of the Governor's Yamen, all the yellow helmets were gone. In such a cold winter, people were sweating profusely and looked frightened.
When he saw a civil servant wearing a scarlet robe coming out of the back office, he quickly knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, the Jian prisoners are coming with ferocious force..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly froze.
Who is this? Where is Mr. Jie Xuelong? Why, the governor has been replaced, how come you don’t know it?
Du Yinxi ignored him and sat down at the main seat. He immediately stared at Huang and asked, "What's going on?"
When he asked, Huang Huang came back to his senses. Regardless of why the governor had been replaced, he hurriedly reported: "Sir, the Jianlu army is coming in large numbers. The city in Zhongqian is small and cannot stop Jianqin.
Therefore, the general has no choice but to retreat!"
"How many soldiers are there?" When Du Yinxi heard this, his brows furrowed and he immediately asked, "When will we arrive and what is the situation like? Please report in detail!"
When Huang heard this, he didn't dare not answer, but he stammered: "The Jianlu have probably come with three thousand cavalry... no, no, no... at least five thousand cavalry, and there must be more later. This Jianlu is so fierce."
Extremely, I tried to surround Zhongqian, but I failed... the general saw the opportunity quickly, otherwise... otherwise, he would not be able to report the enemy's situation to the governor!"
When Du Yinxi heard this, he immediately understood the other meaning of his words. He immediately became angry and shouted sharply: "So you ran away before fighting?"
"No, no, no!" Upon hearing this, Huang quickly denied, "The general... is going to report the military situation to your lord!"
This explanation is tantamount to no explanation. A general cannot leave the station privately without receiving military orders. Even if he reports the military situation, can't he send someone else to report it?
Du Yinxi was not a fool, and he was immediately furious. He shouted again and asked: "Where is the former guard, how is the situation?"
"Big...probably...no no no...the city must have been destroyed by the rebels!" Huang Huang was a little panicked after hearing this, and stammered his answer.
After hearing this, Du Yinxi knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he slapped the case and shouted sternly: "As the commander-in-chief of the Central Front Station, you have the responsibility to defend the territory, but you run away first when encountering the enemy. Do you know the power of military law?"
After asking this question, without waiting for Huang's answer, he immediately ordered: "Come on, drag him out and beat him with twenty army sticks, then hang him at the gate of the city for public display. When the war is over, he will be escorted to the capital for questioning!"
As soon as he heard this, the guard standing by the side immediately stepped forward, dragged Huang away and left.
"My lord...my lord...give me another chance, my lord..."
Du Yinxi naturally would not give another chance, but frowned. He did not expect that the generals outside the pass would be so timid and run away after hearing the news!
Fortunately, the general attack will begin tomorrow morning, so let Jianlu be proud for a while!
Early the next morning, Huang, who was hanging so sleepily, was suddenly awakened by some movement, and quickly raised his head to look. Suddenly, he was dumbfounded.
I saw groups of soldiers marching neatly towards the city gate. One look at them, and I knew they were elite.
Isn't Shanhaiguan the only place where the White Guards Army is stationed? Where did this come from? Who is it?
Yellow is so dumbfounded!
Then, he saw the flag, it was Uncle Zhongwu!
At this moment, he knew that the imperial reinforcements had arrived!
After reaching this conclusion, his intestines were filled with regret! If he had persisted, reinforcements would have arrived the next day, so why did he end up in such a situation!
The officers and soldiers of the Ming army who passed the city gate looked at the hanging commander-in-chief with disdain. They went out to fight with their heads held high to earn military merit!
………………
Besides, the Jianlu army did not conquer Guangning's former garrison here. However, the slave chief Azige did not care at all, but was rather complacent!
He led his troops to come, and when he passed Ningyuan, he saw the garrison at the head of Ningyuan city huddled in the city, trembling with fright. When he arrived at the garrison, before he attacked, he heard that the Ming army stopped killing people at night.
His men were scouting horses, so he divided his troops to retaliate.
Unexpectedly, the vanguard led by Turge only had 2,000 people. As soon as they arrived at Zhongqian Station, the generals there fled after hearing the news. Turge caught up with them and killed them all. Only a few people escaped.
Zhongqiansuo is effortless and is at your fingertips!
