Tianshou Mountain, the camp of the Hou Jin Army.
Inside the yellow tent, Tiancong Khan and Huang Taiji were waiting...waiting. I started waiting from early in the morning, until it got dusky, until I was drowsy, until I actually fell asleep and even snored, and I didn't even wait until Zhu Youjian, the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty, threw himself into the trap.
The trap has been set long ago! Big Belle is a cunning old man, so he is responsible for luring the enemy. The second beile Amin and the third beile Mang Gurtai were brave and good at fighting, so they led their troops to ambush in the old forest of Tianshou Mountain. Abatai and Azig, the two juniors, were doing things properly, so they were responsible for blocking the Changzhen soldiers from leaving the city at the foot of Changping City.
Huang Taiji and his son Hauge led the elite troops of the Two Yellow Flags to recharge their batteries in the camp. Once the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty in front fell into the trap, Hauge would lead the army of the Two Yellow Flags to attack and deliver a fatal blow!
The Mongols who followed Huang Taiji were responsible for the final pursuit...
Such a good plan, when the layout was completed last night, Huang Taiji was so happy that he couldn't sleep! Huang Taiji, who had been excited all night and was waiting to defeat Zhu Youjian today, got the first unexpected bad news in the morning. The most powerful white-armored soldiers of the Jin Kingdom were shot with black guns! And a lot of them were killed and injured in one fell swoop!
This makes Huang Taiji feel bad... White-armored soldiers!
A Niulu household of three hundred only takes ten white-armored soldiers, ten from three hundred! There are more than 300 cattle soldiers in the Kingdom of Jin, but there are only more than 3,000 white-armored soldiers in total! This time, there were only more than a thousand white-armored soldiers following Huang Taiji at the entrance. Last time, more than a dozen of the white-armored soldiers of the Two White Banners of the "Multiple Army" were tricked to death by Shi Kefa, which made Huang Taiji feel a little distressed. But this time, about seventy of the white-armored soldiers placed by Huang Taiji outside the Guangou Valley were knocked down by the Ming army's Ye Bushou with black guns in one fell swoop, and then they were killed by the Ming army's cavalry with a cavalry assault. There were about thirty, and if you add one, it would be over a hundred... This kind of loss made Huang Taiji cry with distress, and he was unwilling to leave the white-armored soldiers outside anymore, so he withdrew them all and replaced them with The Mongols who did not dare to fight the enemy's elite soldiers.
Once the Mongols went up, Huang Taiji would no longer get accurate information about Zhu Youjian's army. Because the Mongols didn't dare to get close to investigate at all, they just watched from a distance-unless they occupied a particularly good commanding height, they couldn't see the people and horses. At most, they could only see the dust raised when the army passed by. But looking at gray is not as accurate as looking at people! Ash can be artificially made. The method of artificial dust is mentioned in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Maybe Nan Di has also read this book...
However, Huang Taiji was not worried that Nan Emperor Zhu Youjian would not take the bait, because he had already occupied Nan Emperor's ancestral tomb and set fire to the Dingling Tomb in it.
Didn’t the Southern Dynasty claim to be a filial piety governing the world? Southern Emperor Zhu Youjian dares not to be a dutiful son? So even though he knew that Tianshou Mountain was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, he still had to risk his life to break into it!
So Huang Taiji came to guard the tomb to wait for the emperor... He waited for most of the day, and even fell asleep while waiting, and did not wait for the emperor.
Where has this Nan Di gone? Why don’t you even want your ancestors? You are being disobedient and unfilial!
How did he know that the Southern Emperor Zhu Youjian wanted the ancestral country, not the ancestral tombs of his ancestors... With the country and the country, are you afraid of not having the ancestral tombs? Even if Huang Taiji and Dorgon were defeated, Nan Di could rebuild one for his ancestors.
Moreover, the project of excavating the emperor's tomb is very large. Unless Huang Taiji and Dorgon dig a robbery hole and go down to find gold and treasure, they will have to work for a while to open the Dingling underground palace... But Huang Taiji Who is Dorgon? No matter what they do, they can't dig holes to steal and go to the underground palace. That's not in line with their status.
Therefore, Zhu Youjian made a decisive decision and ignored his ancestors for the time being. He led 12,000 cavalry to bypass Tianshou Mountain and the south of Changping Town, and then crossed the Wenyu River in the southeast of Changping Town to reach the north bank of Wenyu River (east of Changping and west of Shunyi). Finally, they went straight to the camp where Yuan Chonghuan and Zhao Lijiao commanded the Jiliao Army.
The main camp of Jiliao Army is located between Changping and Shunyi. It is very easy to find when it is dark, because it is the bright camp, and the lanterns and bonfires are scattered all over the wilderness, just like the Milky Way falling from the sky.
Yuan Chonghuan was writing a letter to Zhu Chunchen on the other side of the Wenyu River in his camp, asking him to go together.
Although Zhu Chunchen sent out battle reports with staggering losses for several days, Yuan Chonghuan could not be deceived. His army is now only twenty or thirty miles away from Zhu Chunchen's camp... only three or four days away. If you stand higher, you can see it. Moreover, the Jiliao army was not so useless at night, and they could sneak directly outside the camp of the Jingying army to watch Dorgon's soldiers and horses "pretend to attack and feign defeat."
Some of the skinnier Ye Bushou even joined the battle outside the Beijing camp, cut off the heads of several Mongolians and returned them to Yuan Chonghuan to report their merits.
And Yuan Chonghuan also knew that Zhu Chunchen was trying to settle accounts, so he did not go to join him, but slowly climbed to Changping - he was the governor of Liaodong, so of course he was not responsible for the digging of the imperial tomb. Da'ankou, Longjingguan and Xifengkou, the entrances to Huang Taiji's army, are the territory of Jizhen. Although Yiyuankou near Shanhaiguan was once broken through by the Donglu, it was still recovered by the Ji Liao army... Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan thought that he had made great achievements this time and could be promoted to Ji Liao no matter how hard he tried. Governor of Liao!
Just when he was feeling proud, Zu Dashou's furious voice suddenly came from outside.
"Futai, Futai...the army of slaves and thieves is coming to us!"
What? An army of slaves and thieves?
Yuan Chonghuan's heart trembled!
Don't look at what Yuan Chonghuan has been saying about Pingliao for a few years. They are all deceiving people. He would be stupid if he believed it. Just look at how fast he is making six or seven miles a day.
"Futai, Futai..." Zu Dashou had already opened the curtain and came in while shouting. When he saw Yuan Chonghuan, he was about to salute, but Yuan Chonghuan waved his hand to stop him.
"Fuyu, stop saluting, there are no outsiders here!" Yuan Chonghuan asked, "How many slaves are here?"
"Twenty thousand!" Zu Dashou said, "All the cavalry have already passed Wenyushui and are coming towards us. They are all holding torches and their momentum is amazing...and their marching speed is very fast. They will definitely be able to reach us before dawn. Go outside the camp. Futai, shall we fight or leave?"
"Leave?" Yuan Chonghuan glared at Zu Dashou, "Fuyu, what are you talking about? We have 50,000 or so people guarding a fort that looks like an iron barrel. Are we still afraid of a mere 20,000 slave thieves? Where are the people coming! Beat the drum to gather the generals !
If the slaves and thieves dare to come, I will make them die and die! "
Yuan Chonghuan is not afraid of the Hou Jin Eight Banners soldiers coming to attack, even if they come with 20,000 Eight Banners soldiers!
If Zhu Chunchen, who was across from Wenyushui, encountered this situation, he would probably have to run away and flee back to Beijing overnight. But Yuan Chonghuan can't run, he is much more courageous than Zhu Chunchen.
But the opponent he met this time was something he couldn't defeat with his bravery... because it was Zhu Youjian, the great figure of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan, respectfully wishes to greet you!"
"I, Zhao, lead your teachings to respectfully wish your majesty to pay your respects!"
"My ancestor Kefa respectfully wishes His Majesty..."
"Isn't it right?"
When the sky got a little brighter, Zhu Youjian had already led 12,000 cavalry to the camp gate of Jiliao Army in a swaggering manner.
"Pingshen, Pingshen..." Zhu Youjian came to seize military power, but his momentum was not menacing at all, with a smile on his face.
In fact, he didn't have to be so cruel, because he dared to lead 12,000 cavalry out of the ditch at Juyongguan, passed under the eyes of the 50,000 to 60,000 Jin army, and then marched overnight to reach the gate of Jiliao military camp. These generals of the Ji Liao Army who feared the enemy like tigers could only obey obediently.
Seeing these Ji Liao generals all standing up, Zhu Youjian smiled and said to Yuan Chonghuan: "Yuan Chonghuan, look, am I right? Your Ningjin defense line is useless! There are fifty to sixty thousand slaves and thieves. They broke down the border wall right under your nose, and even went all the way to Changping Prefecture to dig up the graves of my ancestors of the Ming Dynasty..."
At the beginning, his words were a bit tongue-in-cheek and nonchalant, but now his tone was stern. The courtiers below all gasped for air and stood there, not daring to move.
Zhu Youjian said again: "You all tell me, what is the use of Ning Yuan's defense? Isn't it enough to have a mountain and sea pass? Why can't we withdraw our troops and use them inside and outside the border wall of Jizhou Town?"
"Your Majesty," Yuan Chonghuan already understood what Zhu Youjian meant. The young emperor still wanted to withdraw his defenses from western Liaoning and then strengthen the border wall of Ji Town, but he still wanted to fight for it. "The hometowns of the Liao army officers and soldiers are all outside the pass, and they are also Thousands of hectares of military camps have been opened up and hundreds of thousands of civilians have been resettled. If we give up suddenly, I'm afraid it will shake the morale of the army!"
"It's not about giving up," Zhu Youjian said, "it's about moving the town... from western Liaoning to Yanshan outside the Great Wall of Jizhou Town! Only with Yanshan can there be Ji Town! According to Yanshan, only the grassland can be caressed, and the grassland can be caressed. Cut off an arm of slave thieves! Cut off an arm of slave thieves, only then can there be hope for restoring Liao!"
