"Didn't meet?"
"How can this be?"
"When we were attacking the city, I clearly saw the smoke coming from the city of Zunhua, and there was smoke from both directions in the east and west.
Nearly three hours have passed since the siege. No matter how slow and corrupt the Ming army was, Santun Camp should have sent reinforcements. How could there be no movement? "
"This is strange. Then what happened to Langyan's response?"
"The function of the smoke is to provide early warning and call for help. There are no reinforcements now. Could it be that it is sending some kind of special message?"
"It's not impossible. Ming Dynasty is extremely treacherous, and he just made a trick. We have to guard against it!"
…
Everyone was discussing, and Huang Taiji's eyes were full of doubts.
After a while, Huang Taiji immediately said: "Come here, send someone to Longjing Pass and Da'ankou to see if there is any problem.
In addition, we went to Hanerzhuang City and asked Fan Wencheng to strengthen precautions.
Dorgon, you immediately lead five thousand elites back to Hanerzhuang City, just in case.
Amin, you personally take people to Zunhua to find out who is the guard of Zunhua City at the moment?
An order was sent to the left and right wings, and half of the troops were immediately assigned to move closer to the central army, while the remaining troops remained stationary. "
Looking at Dorgon leaving, Huang Taiji felt relieved and said to himself: "I hope Ben Khan is worrying too much!"
Listening to Huang Taiji's series of orders, everyone in the big tent was a little surprised.
Amin suddenly said: "Great Khan, do you mean that the Ming army may send people to Da'ankou and Longjing Pass to cut off our retreat?"
"It's not impossible!"
"It's unlikely. First, we don't have enough time. Second, the cities we occupied around Han'erzhuang City each have 500 to 1,000 elites left behind.
There is also the Ming army that has surrendered to us. If they want to survive, they will definitely try their best to defend. The Ming Dynasty needs at least 30,000 to 50,000 troops.
Such a large-scale march can only be carried out by Shanhaiguan and Beijing City. If there are reinforcements on both sides, they can't hide our hidden scouts! "
"Be careful in everything, Zunhua City is a lesson!"
Huang Taiji shook his head, then looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to be angry, but to work hard to organize the army, appease the warriors, and prepare to attack the city again!"
"Attack the city again?"
"Great Khan, the loss of the North Gate has probably spread throughout the army, and the morale is probably extremely low.
And the Ming army, with high morale after a great victory, hurriedly attacked the city again, I guess..."
Looking at the somewhat surprised Beile and Taiji, Huang Taiji shook his head.
"Zunhua City has just experienced a battle. With the concentration of firearms at the north gate just now, I believe that Zunhua City does not have much inventory left. I will use the speed of the cavalry to consume them first.
They have less than 10,000 people, but we will gather 30,000 people here and consume them in batches.
This Khan wanted to exhaust Zunhua City’s military supplies and the energy of the city’s defenders, and then attack with all his strength.
Before tomorrow's chen hour, we must capture Zunhua City! "
Without waiting for anyone to continue to object, Huang Taiji's face was full of determination: "I promise to conquer Zunhua City and allow you to move freely for one day.
Whether you can gain anything depends entirely on your own methods!
But the ugly words of this Khan are ahead. If fighting among various tribes is caused to grab supplies, then don’t blame this Khan for handling it according to the military law! "
"Does the Great Khan really mean what he said?"
Everyone in the big tent was excited.
Zunhua is the first city in the east of Ji, where the Shuntian government office and the Western Assistant Counselor are stationed. How rich it is.
The military supplies, materials, gold and silver treasures, people, etc. in a Zunhua city are several times more than the total of D'ankou and other surrendered cities, and how much you get is entirely up to you.
In one word, cool.
Two words, great fun!
“This Khan said that any soldier who resists will be killed.
They didn't cherish the opportunity they were given and killed thousands of our warriors. Do you really think we don't dare to kill?
Since they are stubborn, then kill them until they are scared. "
When Huang Taiji said this, he was full of murderous intent.
This was not only a lesson to the Mongolian tribes who died in battle, but also a shock to other cities.
"Get ready. Once the armies on the left and right wings get closer, attack the city immediately!"
Everyone left with a ferocious smile, walking with wind in their eyes.
In the big tent, Huang Taiji stared at the map and fell into deep thought. He was thinking, if the Ming army really went to Da'ankou and other border passes, what should they do?
Whether to retreat or to risk everything, before the army of King Qin of Ming Dynasty gathered together, he led the army straight to Beijing City.
Looting the perimeter along the way, then retreating in the other direction.
While he was deep in thought, the battle report from Zunhua City was finally sent to Santun Camp.
After the Jin Yiwei arranged by Zhao Ming saw Yuan Keli on the Bell and Drum Tower in the center of the Santun Camp, they immediately shouted: "Mr. Ge, good news from Zunhua City!"
"Good news from Zunhua City?"
"Did I hear it wrong!"
"How is this possible? There were at least 20,000 to 30,000 slaves attacking the city. How could it be possible to win?"
Before Yuan Keli could speak, the generals behind him began to question.
Yuan Keli took the information and glanced at it quickly: "Hahaha, good, good, good, Sun Zushou is indeed a famous general.
He actually killed nearly 7,000 Jiannu people, while only suffering less than 1,000 casualties. This was a real victory! "
"One thousand casualties, but nearly 7,000 Jian slaves killed? This, this..."
Zhu Guoyan, the former commander-in-chief of the Third Tun Camp, was stunned in the middle of his exclamation. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered: "Mr. Yuan Ge, I just heard you say that Sun Zushou is commanding Zunhua City?"
"Yes, you heard it right. Before Jiannu attacked the city, His Majesty issued an order to restore Sun Zu's official position as the Western Assistant General of Shouji Town, and promoted all military and civilian affairs in Zunhua City."
"But how come the general doesn't know about this matter..."
Zhu Guoyan stopped mid-sentence, and his face instantly turned ugly.
At this moment, he finally realized that all this was arranged by the court in advance, otherwise the timing of Sun Zushou and Yuan Keli's arrival would have been too coincidental.
From this incident, we can know that the court does not believe him.
Yuan Keli had no time to pay attention to Zhu Guoyan's changes in expression and little thoughts.
His mind was already focused on the hidden Tengxiang left guard and white pole soldiers. He didn't know whether they were going well or not.
Two hours ago, thousands of Ming troops gathered in front of Hongyu Cave, seventy or eighty miles east of Zunhua City.
These are the hidden left guard of Tengxiang and the 1,500 Yulei Camp sergeants who came from behind, totaling more than 7,000 people.
The commander, Cao Wenzhao, stood on a big rock and glanced at the neatly organized Tengxiang left guard sergeants.
"Brothers, haven't you been complaining about why the imperial court sends us to go into dense forests and live in caves, and doesn't treat you as human beings?
This commander can tell you the answer today! "
