Seven days later.
Han Xi led an army of 40,000 to snipe Huang Taiji on the Great Wall near Badaling, preventing Huang Taiji's army from advancing even an inch. Only a small group of Jiannu entered the capital from the mountain road.
However, there was military advisor Guo leading 10,000 recruits to resist, so it was impossible for these small groups of slave builders to run rampant.
The army in Gyeonggi at this time was not the corrupt army of the Ming Dynasty.
Dozens of slaves could chase thousands of Ming soldiers.
If these slaves dare to underestimate the enemy, they will definitely die miserably.
Yanqing Guard, where Juyong Pass is located, looked at the tens of thousands of troops outside the Great Wall, rushing towards the pass one after another. Han Xi just smiled.
It seems that Huang Taiji still refuses to give up!
Huang Taiji should have received an army of 70,000 cavalry and entered the Xuan Mansion. Who gave him the confidence to stay here if he didn't run away quickly?
"Kill!"
Cries of killing were heard in the wilderness all day long, and a group of Houjin soldiers were shouting loudly.
They climbed towards the pass with newly made siege equipment.
"Put it down~"
The commander on top of the city waved the flag in his hand and shouted.
Suddenly, a large number of Houjin soldiers who were charging fell down.
Then, the roar of artillery sounded, and the cannon exploded in the middle of Houjin's charging team, and people continued to fall to the ground in droves.
Just for a while.
Hundreds of people died on the way to the charge.
In the distance, Huang Taiji saw the ferocious gunfire at the pass and the warriors who kept falling, and remained unmoved.
At this time, Huang Taiji actually knew that he might not be able to enter the capital and plunder this time. However, he still let a large number of Akha and Mongol servants charge.
This is to consume the Mongolian forces and the group of somewhat unstable Aha.
"Send two more teams up." Huang Taiji said expressionlessly.
"嗻!"
Soon someone was ordered to leave.
After a while, a cavalryman quickly approached Huang Taiji, but after approaching Huang Taiji, he dismounted and knelt down and reported: "Great Khan, the Pingliang Army on the West Road has arrived in the area of Baoan Prefecture and Changchun Office, and is only more than sixty meters away from us. inside."
Huang Taiji was shocked. He didn't expect the other side to come so quickly.
"Didn't you say that the main force of the Pingliang Army is in Taiyuan? Why did it come so fast?" Huang Taiji asked the doubts in his heart.
That's right.
Because Han Xi rebelled in the name of Pingliang Shaanxi Town, both the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty called Han Xi and his party the Pingliang Army.
"The Shanxi merchants over there have sent news that this is indeed the case. I heard that the attack has even reached Pingyang Prefecture, but I don't know why they came back so quickly." A middle-aged scholar with a shaved head reported.
"Could it be that the number of Pingliang troops is not 200,000, but 300,000?" Huang Taiji asked.
Yes, after repeated deductions in Hou Jin Dynasty, the number of Pingliang Army was about 200,000. This is Huang Taiji's judgment based on the information collected by spies from various places in the past few years.
If Han Xi were here, he would definitely be surprised.
Because the army was indeed about 200,000 a year ago, but after capturing Datong and Taiyuan, Han Xi summoned another 100,000 troops.
Huang Taiji probably couldn't imagine that Han Xi could actually raise an army of 300,000 men in less than a year.
Unexpectedly, Han Xi from three prefectures and two states dared to summon an army of 300,000 men.
You must know that an army of 300,000 people will consume one kilogram of food a day even if they do not fight on weekdays.
Three hundred thousand, that would require 720,000 shi of food that year.
This is only the state of 300,000 people without fighting. If fighting occurs, it will be twice or triple the consumption.
If all the three prefectures and two states under Han Xi's rule were planted with wheat, the annual income would only be 700,000 dan at most.
"Hahahaha!" Huang Taiji laughed as if he thought of something.
"I don't know why the Great Khan is laughing?" the middle-aged scholar asked curiously.
"Han Xi's son is so militaristic that he may not be able to hold on any longer. He will lose the support of the people in the capital and will die soon. Order the army to retreat!" Huang Taiji explained with a smile.
What Huang Taiji thought at this time was that Han Xi must have plundered and exploited the people to feed so many soldiers, and he would not last long.
"Woo!"
"Woo!"
As the horn sounded, the soldiers of Houjin who were still charging retreated one after another.
"Oh haha, oh haha."
There were roars all day long from the top of the city, which was the sound of celebrating victory.
The sound shook the surrounding mountains and made birds fly.
Huang Taiji turned the horse's head, looked at the pass, and then sneered: "I want to see how long you, a militaristic guy, can last."
Slowly, Hou Jin's army retreated.
At this time, the cavalry who had rested for a day in Chang'an were ready to set off.
"The general has an order. One enemy's head is worth one stone of wheat. Kill one cow and record, and one thousand households are worth ten stone of wheat. Further up, Taiji is worth one stone, and Beile is worth one thousand stone."
A cavalryman shouted loudly in front of the Mongolian vassal army.
When a group of Mongolian vassal troops heard about the reward, they immediately became excited.
You must know that in the past few years, the grassland has not only suffered from drought, but also from plague. It can be said that human life is not worth as much as food.
At this time, if a stone of wheat goes to buy a slave, he will definitely be able to buy a group of them back.
Several Mongolian noble tribes on the Hetao map became excited.
"Set off."
"Woo~~"
The heavy and long horns echoed in the wilderness, and tens of thousands of cavalry galloped, stirring up a burst of dust.
The dust that stretched for more than ten miles formed a storm and moved forward.
Like that ferocious beast devouring everything.
The earth is shaking and the sun is obscured.
Half an hour later.
The army met Hou Jin at the river on the outskirts of Yanqing Prefecture.
At this time, Hou Jin's army was crossing the river, and half of the army had crossed the river, but half was still crossing the river.
Huang Taiji couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw tens of thousands of cavalry rushing towards him.
too fast.
Huang Taiji didn't expect that the other side would come over so quickly. What about the troops he sent to intercept?
Huang Taiji was full of doubts.
Huang Taiji naturally knew that the army coming from the opposite side was coming, and he also sent five thousand Jurchen elites to intercept. In his opinion. Five thousand people are enough to intercept the opponent for a day. When the time comes, he will bring troops to support him, and he will definitely be able to catch the opponent by surprise.
I just didn't expect that the enemy was not intercepted by the army in the past.
Instead, when the enemy came, no one informed them.
This made Huang Taiji a little angry, but this was not the time to be angry: "Zhenghuang Qi, follow me."
Huang Taiji led his five thousand people to greet them.
Behind them were tens of thousands of Mongolian servants.
Soon, the two armies collided in the plains.
This battle was so bloody that it lasted all day and all night.
When it was learned that more than 30,000 people from Yanqing Guard came to support them.
As a last resort, Huang Taiji had no choice but to cut off his tail to survive and fled to the edge of the Great Wall.
So far, Huang Taiji entered the pass this time and returned with a huge defeat, making his position in Houjin unstable.
Han Xi took advantage of this battle to gain fame far and wide.
