Huang Degong only 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 Tatars within a radius of twenty miles to be killed. He even went out to the camp to fight in person when he felt like it. .
Shi Kefa could not suppress him both historically and 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, and his actions became more and more powerful. Not only did he kill the Tatars in the territory, but he also went deep into the trap and sent a large number of scouts to the capital to investigate.
This trip was a big deal. Information soon came 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? How can the thick walls of the capital be so easy to fight? Shi Kefa couldn't figure it out. Although his military command ability was not as good as 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 will be difficult to achieve results by doing it manually.
Huang Degong did not have the determination to do so, and clamored to send troops to rescue 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 an order 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 must not mess up 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 don’t think the little governor faced King Chuang’s army of hundreds of thousands in the eunuch, but he didn’t even 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 interfere 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 warriors who had been fighting all year round. What was there in the capital now? There were dozens of troops in the capital plus 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 expecting that he would be persuaded to go ahead: "How do you want to treat me?"
Huang Degong's idea is 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.
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 anus.
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 directly use Jinwu Guard or Tengxiang Guard.
But Huang Degong didn't want to do this. The first thing he wanted was tough soldiers. But with the tough soldiers that the Tatar cavalry wanted to compete with, Jinwu Guards and Tengxiang Guards had participated in battles several times in recent months, and 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, except for some of Li Yan's troops, there were also people under his command 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 were 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 the Righteous Army. Thinking that he had been fighting hard for many years... could he be worse than 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 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 penetrated into the capital judged 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 10,000 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 the rainy weather was causing trouble to the artillery on the city. Influence.
After traveling for more than ten miles, the scouts from the front came galloping: 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 thought I was 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. Kill them to defend the country and drive away foreign insults. A good man will be famous." At this moment..."
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 once. , throwing rocks at the Ming army defending the city.
A few miles away from the north of the city, Dorgon looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, rainwater flowing 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, ten days ago 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 has not launched an attack..."
Dorgon was startled at first, then sneered, waving his hand to signal Tan Ma to leave. Nancheng was meant to contain them. As long as his men and horses were under the city, they could contain the Ming army in the city regardless of whether they fought or not. As for the more than ten thousand Ming army in the south of the city, He even thought it was funny. He didn't go to you or burn incense, but he gave me his head in such a mess. He really didn't know how powerful the Qing Dynasty 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 cut through 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.
