In an inconspicuous mountain range next to Shenyang, Zhu Dingguo and 20,000 Ming elites were hiding in it.
Originally, according to Zhu Dingguo's plan, the slave-building army should have left Xiping Fort first and waited for an opportunity to have a decisive battle with the army led by Sun Chengzong.
However, the Tatars' inaction surprised Zhu Dingguo.
After Mangui regained Fushun Pass, the 10,000 slaves left behind in Shenyang went out to fight without pride, directly interrupting Zhu Dingguo's plan to regain Shenyang.
Although Zhu Dingguo was confident that he would regain Shenyang before the Tatar reinforcements arrived, for the sake of the overall situation, Zhu Dingguo decided to wait. Look at Jiannu's reaction.
After all, the slave chief is not a fool and will never watch the Ming Dynasty regain Fushun Pass.
As long as the other party dares to send troops to Fushun Pass, Zhu Dingguo will be confident to eat the other party's army.
As Zhu Dingguo expected, he soon came to report that the Tatars in Xiping Fort had moved, and the slave chief himself was driving back with 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Zhu Dingguo's mind suddenly became active.
"Send the news to Mangui and tell him that if there is not enough food, kill the horses. Send troops to plunder the slaves' territory. If something happens, I will not do it, but Fushun is a matter of great importance and must not be lost. !”
Originally, according to the plan, the main force of the Tatars should be rushed to the Korean Peninsula.
But now this piece of meat is so fragrant.
Mangui's 60,000 troops, plus the 20,000 elites in his own hands, can completely eat up the 100,000 elites who built the slaves.
As long as these 100,000 Jiannu are eaten, it will be up to them to decide what the Mengjin Alliance will do next.
The Mongols were good at riding and shooting, but they were rubbish in front of the well-equipped Ming army.
After such a long blockade by the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolians were poor.
Except for the elites of the big tribes, most of the people were poorly equipped. Even their arrows were mostly made of bones.
It's okay to bully soldiers who don't have armor, or who only have leather armor. But when facing Ming Dynasty elites who have armor all over their bodies, whether such a weapon can break through defenses is a question.
Except for the 40,000 Mongolian soldiers in the 60,000-strong army led by Man Gui, all the troops dispatched by the Ming Dynasty this time were armor-plated soldiers. Even the 20,000 chieftain coalition troops who were used as cannon fodder were issued leather armor and iron armor. Breastplate.
Not to mention other elites.
In addition, most of the army's food and grass will be transported by water this time, and it is difficult for the Mongolian Tatars to threaten the army's food and grass security.
It can be said that as long as the imperial army does not seek death on its own, there is basically no possibility of failure.
....
On the seventh day of October in the first year of Chongzhen, Daishan returned to Shengjing with 100,000 Tatar elites. The tense atmosphere in Shengjing suddenly disappeared.
Although Hou Jin suffered a setback from Su Polu over the years, in the hearts of Hou Jin people, the warriors of Hou Jin are still invincible.
"Tell me the information about Mingjun in Fushun Pass." Although Jiannu kept reporting to Daishan on the situation in Fushun Pass along the way, the latest and most complete information was still in the hands of Rodger.
"Fushun Pass, guarded by Mangui, has 60,000 Ming troops, including 20,000 elite Ming troops, and 40,000 Mongolians. Most of these Mongolians are small Mongolian tribes over Yulin. The tribes were controlled by the Ming Dynasty and rebelled. The possibility is extremely low.”
Rodger reported carefully.
Originally, after hearing that the Ming army had attacked Fushun Pass, Rodger wanted to directly lead the team to teach the Ming army a lesson. Fortunately, Brother 8 was here and he sent troops to check in advance, otherwise Shengjing might fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
"Lao Ba did a good job this time. I will give him another reward after he comes back from Jinzhou."
"How are you preparing the carriage that you prepared earlier?"
"It's almost ready."
"Tonight, you will lead 3,000 troops and 20,000 Han slaves to push the carriage to Fushun Pass."
Fushun Pass is only more than 30 miles away from Shengjing. It only takes an hour for the cavalry to reach the city of Shengjing, but the speed of the carriage will definitely be slower. If we set off tonight, we will probably arrive around dawn tomorrow.
If the Ming army had the courage to come out to look for trouble, it would save them the trouble of attacking the city.
When it comes to field battles, Houjin is not afraid of anyone.
.....
It was the eighth day of October in the first year of Chongzhen, Sishi. The 100,000 troops led by Daishan have arrived outside Fushun Pass.
"I didn't expect Mangui to be so careful. It seems that we can only attack by force. Pass the message down and let the 20,000 slaves last night rush to the city wall."
When nomads attack a city, they often capture enemy civilians from nearby and drive them to attack the city.
Even if the city cannot be taken, it can still consume the materials and energy of the defenders.
In addition to these 20,000 slaves, there were 100,000 slaves behind the army. Anyway, North Korea was now the territory of Hou Jin, and Hou Jin really didn't lack these slaves.
"The one who attacks the city wall first will become a member of the Hou Jin Dynasty, and will be rewarded with two wives, and will also be able to eat meat."
"If you take Fushun Pass, you can eat meat until you vomit."
"...."
The temptation of food was huge, and the slave army, which had been lifeless just a moment ago, was soon ignited with life.
Holding tattered weapons, they rushed towards Fushun Pass while shouting.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" The Mongols on the city wall took action. The opponent's slave army was even worse equipped than their own, so there was no need for the Ming army to take action.
"Mom, I want to go home."
"Mother..."
Many slaves were frightened by the blood around them and the screams of their compatriots. He ran back crying.
But he was soon killed by the slave-building governor.
The helpless slaves can only walk towards death step by step.
"You see clearly, that is the result of surrendering and establishing slavery."
On the city wall, Mangui said unhurriedly.
....
Twenty miles behind the Jiannu army, the corpses of the Jiannu slaves were lying scattered on the ground, stripped naked. If Daishan had been here, he would have discovered that these corpses were those of the people he assigned to escort the slaves.
"No. 87, take 500 cavalry and put on Jiannu's clothes. Drive quickly towards Fushun Pass. If there is a chance, kill the senior officials of Jiannu. If there is no chance, directly put the ammunition in the grenade. Build an army of slaves.”
The slave-building army was followed by a team transporting slaves, which was beyond Zhu Dingguo's expectation. Fortunately, Zhu Youjian sent out enough spies and discovered the enemy first.
Zhu Dingguo hid behind, planning to follow the team that transported slaves to the slaves. After bringing the slave camp, he suddenly broke out and forced the slave army to attack the main formation of the slave army.
But God's calculations were not as good as those of humans. One of the slaves suddenly felt urgent and discovered the hidden soldiers. In desperation, Zhu Dingguo could only order an attack.
Because the incident happened suddenly, many Jiannu fled back. In order to prevent Jiannu from being prepared, Zhu Dingguo had no choice but to make a dangerous move.
"Heavenly soldiers, finally met the heavenly soldiers."
An old man on the side couldn't help but started to suffer, and then the rest of the people also started crying.
"The imperial army is about to retake Shenyang. We are going to hunt down Jiannu first. We don't have time to take you with us. You should hide in the nearby mountains first. Wait for the imperial army to come and come out."
After saying that, Zhu Dingguo led the army and quickly headed towards Fushun Pass.
The military situation was urgent, and Zhu Dingguo had no time to manage them. If it weren't for the reputation of his master, why would Zhu Dingguo be too lazy to explain to these people?
