"The Great Khan is testing me!"
Dorgon's face was full of confidence at this moment.
"Great Khan, we are all cavalry here. Our field combat capabilities are unparalleled. In the entire Ming Dynasty, only the Guan Ning cavalry can compete.
But the number is too small, which is why they have been defensive and not taken the initiative.
Presumably the defenders of Santun Camp and Zunhua also knew this, and they would never send troops, but would only stand by the city and wait for reinforcements.
But this also gives us an opportunity. Now, no matter where the reinforcements come from, we can imitate the tactics of the Battle of Saarhu,
Regardless of how many reinforcements are coming from the Ming Dynasty, we will concentrate our forces to attack all the reinforcements. With our combat power, we can quickly annihilate the reinforcements.
If the two cities send troops and join the reinforcements, we can take the opportunity to attack the city.
And as long as we wipe out the reinforcements, it will be a heavy blow to the troops stationed in both places.
As long as two or three reinforcements are eliminated, they will become desperate and may take the initiative to open the city and surrender.
Now that the armies on the left and right wings have not completely joined us, they may be setting up an ambush, waiting for reinforcements from the Ming army! "
When Dorgon said this, he looked at Huang Taiji: "Great Khan, don't you know if what I said is right?"
"Hahaha, congratulations to the Great Khan, I, the Great King, have added another great general!"
Before Huang Taiji could answer, Mang Gurtai laughed first, his words full of words of appreciation.
Huang Taiji nodded, but there was a mysterious smile on his lips.
The reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty had to be eliminated, and Zunhua City also had to be captured. With the backhand arranged by him, it was easy to capture Zunhua City.
"Someone, please send this letter to Zunhua City and give it to Wang Yuanya, the governor of Shuntian who is stationed in Zunhua City."
The messenger received the order, took the letter and headed towards Zunhua City.
At this moment, Zunhua City is under full martial law. In a courtyard in the east of the city, more than a hundred people gathered.
These more than a hundred people, each with a strong build and a solemn expression, were all looking at a tall and burly middle-aged man in front of the lobby, holding a long gun and hanging a broadsword at his waist.
"After more than a year, I finally put on this armor again!"
The middle-aged man was Sun Zushou, the former Ji Zhenxi Assistant Counselor who sneaked into Zunhua City on orders from Chongzhen.
Sun Zushou stroked the armor, feeling the coldness of the armor, then his face became solemn, and he hit the ground with the spear in his hand.
"Zhao Qianhu, have the arrangements been made at the prefect's Yamen?"
"Don't worry, General Zhao. As long as we take action here, the people from the prefect's Yamen will also take action at the same time.
Everyone is under our surveillance and no one will be missed. "
"good!"
"Brothers, follow this general to arrest those who are treasonous and collaborators with the enemy. Anyone who dares to obstruct us will be killed!"
After Sun Zushou finished speaking, he walked towards the door, and everyone followed him, heading straight for the city wall.
The police officers patrolling the city were shocked when they saw the strong man No. 10 holding a long knife, and immediately stopped him.
But before he could say anything, Qianhu Zhao Ming, a Jin Yiwei in the middle of the team wearing a red flying fish uniform, immediately threw out a token.
"Anyone who is carrying out his duties as a royal guard and ruining the military situation will be beheaded!"
The police patrolling the city looked at the red Feiyu suit and the Jin Yiwei token,
Looking at the other hundreds of people in the team wearing white Feiyu uniforms, they all shivered and then stepped aside.
Don't care whether these people are real Jin Yiwei, they are just ordinary policemen patrolling the city, and they can't control them even if they want to.
With Jin Yiwei Qianhu and Baihu clearing the way, the process went extremely smoothly. It only took a quarter of an hour to reach the foot of the North Tower.
He was stopped by the city guard sergeant. Before Zhao Ming could come forward, Sun Zushou stepped forward and took off his helmet.
The patrol commander looked at Sun Zushou, his whole body was shocked, and he suddenly exclaimed: "General Sun, why are you here? What on earth is going on?"
"Commander Zhou, I have been ordered to pass on the message and get out of the way immediately to avoid delaying the military situation!"
After Sun Zushou finished speaking, Zhao Ming handed the imperial edict to Sun Zushou as soon as he stretched out his hand.
Looking at Sun Zushou, and then at the imperial edict in his hand, he stepped aside without any hesitation.
Seeing Sun Zushou walking towards the city wall, General Zhou's eyes turned red and he breathed a long sigh of relief: "General Sun is here, Zunhua City can be saved!"
In the north gate tower of Zunhua City, Shuntian Governor Wang Yuanya stared into the distance, as if he wanted to cross the void to see the situation of Jian Nu.
Behind him was the Ming army who looked frightened.
Jiannu broke through the barriers and attacked the city faster than they imagined, which put great pressure on the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
"Everyone, don't panic. The governor has already sent people to notify the Santun camp, the imperial court, and Shanhaiguan.
Beijing and Shanhaiguan are only more than three hundred miles away from us, which is two or three days.
With Zunhua City and the garrison in the city, there is absolutely no problem in holding on for three to five days. By then, Zunhua City will be the burial ground of Jiannu. "
After Wang Yuanya finished speaking, he looked at one of the civil servants: "Prefect Jia, you are responsible for appeasing the people and taking charge of public security in the city to prevent people from taking advantage of the chaos to rob, commit adultery, etc. Once discovered, you will be severely punished!"
"Ma Qianshi, you are responsible for patrolling the military discipline in the city. If anyone escapes and disturbs our military's morale, he will be killed!"
"open……"
…
Bang...bang...
When Wang Yuanya was giving orders, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted his words. Everyone looked in the direction of the footsteps, and they were all startled.
The red flying fish suit and the white flying feather suit are the standard equipment of Jinyiwei Qianhu and Baihu.
How important is it to have one Jinyi Guard from Qianhu, two from Baihu, and more than a hundred Jinyiwei appear?
But what about the general wearing armor and carrying a spear in front?
Before they could think about it, everyone arrived in front of the city gate tower.
"Sun Zushou?"
"General Sun?"
"General Sun Shen?"
…
Everyone exclaimed, the names were all different, but they all used official titles, which fully shows the majesty and popular feeling of Sun Zushou in Zunhua City.
Sun Zushou did not respond, but nodded towards the Jin Yiwei behind him.
Zhao Ming, a member of Qianhu of Jinyi Guards, looked at Shuntian Governor Wang Yuanya: "Governor Wang, this Qianhu has been ordered by Your Majesty to deliver the decree!"
After saying that, he went up the steps, and everyone quickly adjusted their positions.
"The Emperor, who was entrusted by heaven, issued an edict: Sun Zushou, the former general of the Western Association of Ji Town, was both civil and military, and was the mainstay of the imperial court and the mainstay of the country. However, he was framed by treacherous ministers and was dismissed from his post and returned home. I deeply regret it.
Now that Jiannu is disturbing our defense line in Ji Town, I have resumed my original post to guard Zunhua City. The soldiers and civilians in the city are all listening to his orders. I hope that you will show your strength to Jiannu. I appreciate this! "
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your grace!"
Sun Zushou immediately thanked him loudly, stood up and took the imperial edict, and then looked at everyone: "Everyone, please get up!"
"Congratulations to General Sun. With you here, I feel a lot more confident!"
"General Sun, I have been looking forward to this day for a year, and finally I have waited for this day. Your Majesty is wise!"
"General Sun, my subordinates have long said that with your ability, the court will re-enable you sooner or later. No, the wait is finally here!"
"Hahaha, General Sun, as long as you are here, if I say something unpleasant, even if the general dies in battle now, he will be able to rest in peace!"
…
The generals of Ji Zhen Xixie who were stationed in Zunhua City were all overjoyed.
But there were exceptions. For example, Zunhua Prefect Jia Weiyao and Chief Minister Ma Sigong glanced at each other without any trace, and both could see the gloom in their eyes.
