Each side appears in the other's telescope.
In Chongzhen's telescope, I saw one of them with a red complexion, a slightly rough face, small eyes, long eyebrows, an eight-stroke beard, and a nose job in the middle. He was dignified and upright, showing good fortune. Even when riding a horse, you can see that he is tall and tall. .
Even without anyone introducing him, Chongzhen was sure at a glance that this person was Huang Taiji, and his appearance alone gave him the appearance of a prince.
In Huang Taiji's telescope, a young man is seen wearing ordinary clothes, but his face is fair and jade-like, with long eyebrows, pupils as bright as paint, red lips and a delicate mustache. Although he is young, he can still tell that he is very heroic. , showing endless majesty between the opening and closing of his eyes.
Just at this glance, Huang Taiji determined that the young man was the Ming Emperor Chongzhen.
As if they noticed that the other person was looking at them, both of them straightened their bodies instantly and looked at each other, but their expressions were different.
Huang Taiji's face was serious, dignified, and full of chilling air, while Chongzhen's face seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his eyes were unpredictable.
This smile made Huang Taiji's heart tremble.
After staring for a moment, Chongzhen waved his hand behind him, and Luan Jia turned around and left.
It wasn't until Luan Jia disappeared from Huang Taiji's telescope that Huang Taiji slowly put down his slightly sore arms, took a long breath, and his face changed.
Masayuki Hoshina said doubtfully: "Tianconghan, what are you looking at?"
"Look at Chongzhen!"
Huang Taiji responded in a low voice and said solemnly: "You have seen the expression on Chongzhen's face. I saw disdain in his expression. He looked at us as if he were looking at a corpse!"
Hoshina Masayuki, Yagyu Munenuki, Tulu Baihuhan and others looked at each other, and they all saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes.
They have already experienced Huang Taiji's ability since the attack on North Korea. He is an absolute hero.
Especially the strategy of breaking the embankment to create Liaoze made them extremely admired and at the same time frightened in their hearts. This kind of people would do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Such people are the most terrifying.
At this moment, hearing these words from his mouth, everyone's expressions became serious.
Yagyu Munomi whispered: "Tian Conghan, Liaoze blocked the path of the Ming army. Judging from the movements of the Ming army just now, it is very likely that they will cross the river here.
However, the average depth of this nearly 100-meter-wide water surface is more than four meters, and the center of the river is seven or eight meters deep. Both sides are sandy and soil, which is not suitable for carriages and horses. It is difficult for the Ming army to cross the river.
Moreover, if we include the newly added troops, we have nearly 400,000 troops, while the Ming army directly opposite has only more than 200,000 troops at full strength. Both the geographical location and defense and the strength of the troops are far better than the Ming army. Are we still afraid of the Ming army? "
"Having said that, when I think back to Chongzhen's expression, I always have a frightening feeling."
Huang Taiji shook his head, looked at the direction of Chongzhen's cavalry, and then said in a serious voice: "Send the order, strengthen the vigilance along the river, and do our best to find out the movements of the Ming army. I estimate that the Ming army may start in the next few days." Attacked.
The main camp moved two miles back and drove all the trebuchets to 300 meters away from the river bank. The firearms camp was ready to take action at any time!
Order Hauge to hold fast to Xinmin City and not to take the initiative to leave the city to attack the Ming army. "
After everyone responded, they slowly retreated, and the entire Jiannu coalition army began to move.
Chongzhen, who had returned to Xipingbao garrison, looked at Yuan Keli: "Yuan Aiqing, tell me about the situation!"
Yuan Keli nodded and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, more than thirty miles from Xiping Fort to Donghuang, there are only three places where you can cross the river as mentioned by Yuan Jinglue.
Judging from the situation at the ferry just now, there is no doubt that Huang Taiji has stationed heavy troops on the other side. When we attack depends on the arrangement of Xinmin City and Jinyiwei in Fusang. "
As soon as these words came out, except for Chongzhen, Yuan Keli, Li Guopu, and Li Ruolian, even Sun Chuanting was full of astonishment in the entire hall, let alone Yuan Chonghuan and others.
The purpose of storming Xinmin City was to prevent the Jiannu from retreating to Mongolia. But what is the relationship between this attack on the Jiannu tripartite coalition and the internal layout of Fusang?
Yuan Keli ignored everyone's expressions and looked at Sun Chuanting: "Commander Sun Du, when will your West Route Army arrive at Xinmin?"
"Mr. Yuan Ge, the army is still more than fifty miles away from Xinmin. The closer it gets to Xinmin, the deeper the water will be and the harder the road will be. According to the estimates of the general and Zhu Mei, they can reach Xinmin in three days at the latest. Then start siege the city,
According to the allocated firearms, if everything goes well, Xinmin will be able to break through at noon three days later. "
After listening to Sun Chuanting's report, Yuan Keli looked at the map and made some gestures: "It is about two hundred miles from Xinmin to Shenyang, and more than a hundred miles from Shenyang to Liaoyang.
In this case, they must have a post station to deliver the information. It can be basically concluded that it will take most of the day to deliver the information from Xinmin to Liaoyang.
In other words, Huang Taiji got the news of the destruction of Xinmin City at least three days later, or even later. "
Having said this, Yuan Keli looked at Li Ruolian again: "Commander Li, will Tokugawa Iemitsu come to North Korea and Shenyang in person?"
"Mr. Yuan Ge, judging from the current trend, Tokugawa Iemitsu has no intention of coming to Fuso. At least as of now, the general has not received such information."
"So cautious?"
Yuan Keli frowned and said to himself: "It's hard to handle. If Tokugawa Iemitsu doesn't come, we won't be able to kill him, and there won't be chaos within Fuso, which will be detrimental to our next plan!"
"Mr. Ge, we have anticipated this situation and have already made plans. As long as Zheng Zhilong starts taking action, we will take action too.
By storming the Honmaru Palace where Tokugawa Iemitsu lived and the Nishinomaru where Tokugawa Hidetada lived, in the worst case scenario, all their direct family members could be killed. "
Yuan Keli took a deep look at Li Ruolian and did not ask more about the specific plan.
These confidential things were formulated by the emperor himself. Even if he was the Grand Marshal of Beidou, it was better for him to know less about such things.
"In this case, let's set the time for our attack at noon on the fourth day.
Get up at the first moment of Yinshi, bury the pot for cooking at the first moment of Yinshi, set off at the first moment of Maoshi, arrive at the Donghuang Ferry at the first moment of Sishi, and start the attack at the first moment of noon! "
"Sun Chuanting, you turn around immediately and act according to the agreed time. There is no need to ask for instructions and attack on your own. We only want Xinmin City and Kangping City. After they are captured, open this letter immediately and act according to the content of the letter!"
"Yuan Chonghuan, you lead the troops and horses of the western Liaoning headquarters and divide them into four or five groups to feint attack based on the second road to attract the attention of the Jiannu, disperse the troops, and spread the pressure for us to cross the river."
"Cao Wenzhao and Zhao Yunjiang, you two commanded the Tengxiang Four Guards and the Forbidden Army respectively. According to the plan, the camp moved forward and set up camp ten miles away from the Donghuang Ferry. You acted in secret according to the plan.
Starting tomorrow, a small team will begin to test the attack and feel the situation at the bottom of the river! "
"Li Ruolian, I will transfer two thousand households from Huben Guards to you. From now on, patrols will be strengthened ten miles up and down the two ferries, and all the people within five miles of the ferries will be moved away."
"The last general takes command!"
The four of them took the order to leave at the same time, and all parts of the army began to move.
