It was said that Pingjian City was to use cannons to hold on for half a year and drag Jiannu to death. Isn't this nonsense?
"Ma Junmen, I think it's better to write to the Ministry of War and ask the Ministry of War to send more food and supplies to re-transport it. This can't be done."
Madeng Yun said helplessly: "The city is about to be sieged. Even if we start transporting now, it will take a month to arrive. How can we move carriages and horses in this ice and snow? If we don't do it in summer and autumn, how can we do it now? Besides, the city is under siege, and it won't arrive until now. No luck coming in."
Tan Shide was silent, the gentlemen from the Ministry of War were just pretending to have something in their minds.
Don’t they remember that their money and food were reduced to 30% when they passed it? The grandsons in charge of the warehouse also mixed sand and soil into the military rations so that they could steal a third of it. When they got to the end of the field, the generals had to take away some. How can you eat this?
"Ma Junmen, we are like grasshoppers trapped on a rope now. You figure out what to do." Tan Shide spread his hands and he had no idea.
"Fuck you, do it while you're alive, or die. You stretch your legs and fall down. You can't defend this city. Fight out tonight and catch them off guard before they gain a foothold. In addition, send out the cavalry. , the infantry defends the city, and the cavalry goes to the outside to attack and harass at any time to cooperate with the defense of the city." Ma Dengyun said with a glare.
He was really anxious. In this situation, no matter how you looked at it, it was a doomed situation.
"Ma Junmen, do you have a suitable cavalry general? I still have 10,000 cavalry in hand, which I can hand over to you." Tan Shide said.
At this time, he no longer cared about preserving his strength. Let’s get through this hurdle first and then talk about it.
"I have a servant general named Ma Xi who is good at commanding cavalry. I also have ten thousand cavalry. Give them all to him. After the battle tonight, the infantry will retreat back to defend the city. Let Ma Xi lead the cavalry directly into the mountains. It's not much use for the cavalry to defend the city. With them on the outside, they can contain the slaves, but at least they don't dare to deal with us with all their strength, they have to guard the food road." Ma Dengyun said.
Tan Shide thought about it and realized that there was not enough food in the city, so bringing out 20,000 people would be a relief, at least allowing him to hold on for a while longer. So he nodded.
"Before I left, the Heiyun Dragon Division had already gone out to camp at Yuanbaoshan. He also had more than ten thousand cavalry in his hands. According to the deployment of the Ministry of War, he waited for Jiannu to be exhausted from attacking the city, and then sent out to attack Jiannu. He cooperated with us inside and outside to achieve a great defeat. Enemy troops." Tan Shide said.
"Shit, even if Jiannu is exhausted, there are still more than 200,000 people. He only has 50,000 people in his hands. Even if he rushes out, he still won't kill people." Ma Dengyun is very pessimistic. He doesn't think that relying on the city will be enough. Can tire out enemy troops.
"It's better to gather 150,000 people together and have a decisive battle at the foot of Chifeng City. Regardless of winning or losing, it's better than being defeated individually." Ma Dengyun said.
It's not that Ma Dengyun has never thought about it, he might as well accept the fate of the foreign king. Forget it, the three of them disobeyed. But after thinking about it, if this is the case, even if you win, the end will not be good.
Donglin will never tolerate their disobedience.
Not to mention Your Majesty. Since he came to the throne, whether it was to eradicate the eunuchs or to rectify the administration of officials, he has been very cunning. Your Majesty is not a kind master.
As for the whole Ma family, they really can't make a move after thinking about it.
After the sun went down, Ma Dengyun and Tan Shide left 30,000 men to guard the city. Twenty thousand cavalry and forty thousand infantry were gathered. He secretly opened the south gate and left the city.
The two made an appointment, each with 20,000 infantry, to attack the two yellow flags' camp opposite. Ma Xi led 20,000 cavalry around the back of the camp and launched a surprise attack. At the same time, scouts were widely dispatched to monitor the movements of the Lianghuang Banner camp and other camps.
Once the enemy comes to help in large numbers, retreat and never stop fighting.
In order to prevent and delay the enemy's rescue of the two yellow flags of the Chinese army, five thousand people, one man and two horses, with a swarm of rockets, were specially sent out into twenty teams to harass various camps. They arrived outside the camp, beat gongs and drums, and set off firecrackers. At the same time, they lit a swarm of rockets in their arms and fired the rockets at the camp to set fire to it.
In the middle of the night, every camp was attacked at night. The commander's normal reaction was to stabilize his own camp first, without thinking about rescuing others first.
Madeng Yun and Tan Shide had negotiated and decided, so he led
The army left the city. The cavalry circled far away. He sneaked around behind the enemy without anyone noticing.
Ma Dengyun and Tan Shide led a large group of troops to quietly move toward the two yellow flags, and reached the outside of the camp in the middle of the night.
Madeng Yun would not launch an attack at this time. He would wait until the morning star rises. At that time, people are most asleep and at their lowest vigilance. Ma Xi's cavalry would also launch a sudden attack at that time.
When the time comes, attack from two sides and defeat the two yellow flags.
Ma Xi waited until he saw the infantry launching a hundred tigers' arrows and a swarm of bees' arrows before they started fighting. After the slaves engage in battle with the infantry, they will inevitably neglect to guard their backs.
At this time, Ma Xi's attack would be sudden and should easily cause certain casualties to Jiannu.
Ma Dengyun was very strict in managing the army. These northwest soldiers were hard-working and still had a certain fighting capacity. In fact, these troops were the main force later selected by Hong Chengchou to attack the rogue bandits. It was also the source of the 100,000 main force in the later Battle of Songjin.
However, now because of the fluttering of butterfly wings, history has evolved ahead of schedule.
Now, Yang He, the governor of the three sides, only has 100,000 veterans who were laid off from the border army. Now relying on this, it is difficult for him to control the situation in Shaanxi.
Previously, the emperor asked him to go to Yang Fan to solve the problem of weapons, armor and military rations.
But now, even Chongzhen can't find Yang Fan, let alone others. When Yang He's writing arrived in Guihua City, Zhang Wudian and Liu Hongxun couldn't move Yang Fan's people at all.
They didn't have any soldiers, and they had no money or food. There is nothing I can do but help.
Huang Taiji dragged his fat body into the tub and submerged all his fat into the hot water. He sighed happily. The past few days of marching have been hard on him.
He was extremely obese and had high blood pressure. When riding long distances on horseback, his blood pressure would often soar due to fatigue. In severe cases, blood will break through the nasal mucosa and gush out.
Huang Taiji covered his mouth and nose with a cloth while riding a horse.
It must be said that he is a man of great perseverance. He once had a bloody nose and rode for two days and nights to the front line to take command.
"Are all the camps settled?" Huang Taiji asked with his eyes closed, leaning against the wooden barrel wall.
"When we return to the Great Khan, everything has been settled. There are two red flags on the left wing and two white flags on the right wing. The two blue flags are with the Mongolian tribes. The Han army flag has not caught up yet because it brought some Fran cannons. I think it will be able to do so tomorrow. To the battlefield."
Jierhalang bowed and said respectfully.
He is the sixth son of Shuerhaqi, a native of Xianglan Banner, his mother is the Ulanala clan of Fujin, and the nephew of Nurhaci, Taizu of the Qing Dynasty. He was adopted by Nurhachi since he was a child, and he has a very good relationship with the princes, especially Huang Taiji.
"Be prepared. After this battle, I am going to take down Amin and let you take over as the leader of the Blue Flag."
