Hearing this, the generals below couldn't help but raise their curiosity. They knew when the enemy would come and where they would go. But this was not the most important thing. What would be the most important thing?
When Zheng Chongjian said this, he also paused. It was really just this reason. If he didn't talk about it carefully, he would be sorry for this opportunity.
After scanning the generals below, he declared loudly and confidently: "His Majesty is here in person to close the door and beat the dogs. Therefore, the entire army of Tumut will be annihilated in the pass!"
"Ah..." After hearing this, several generals couldn't help but exclaimed. The emperor actually wants to participate in this battle?
They, the generals of the Qin Army, would be lying if they didn't envy them when they heard that the former comrades of King Qin were actually included in the emperor's army. However, who told them not to go to King Qin? Otherwise, they might have become a member of the emperor's powerful team!
Madman He was still a deputy general before he left, but after he left, he was already the commander-in-chief of the Hussars Battalion. This is much better than the local commander-in-chief!
Now, Jianlu has been kicked out of the pass, and without King Qin's chance, he can only sigh that he has no such luck.
However, now the Governor actually said that the Emperor will also participate in this battle. If he performs well and is noticed by the Emperor, will he have a good opportunity? Even if you don't join the emperor's powerful team again in the end, as long as you have an impression on the emperor, this will be of great help to your future!
At the thought of this, these generals became excited.
Zheng Chongjian saw the enthusiasm they burst out after hearing the news, and immediately laughed in his heart, his goal was achieved. This news is better than any other means of boosting morale!
So, he began to mobilize his troops and generals to arrange the war. In the lobby, a high-pitched "obey" sound sounded from time to time.
…………
On the grassland outside the pass, there were probably tens of thousands of cavalry moving towards the inside of the pass. Needless to say, these are the armies on the left and right flanks of the Tumut tribe. But to say that this is the army, it seems that they think too highly of them.
Among the tens of thousands of cavalry, only one or two thousand have leather armor or iron armor. Most of the other cavalry are actually herdsmen on the grassland. It is already July, and they are still wearing their robes, which are very dirty. The original color is no longer visible. Most people carry only a single digit number of bows and arrows with them. If you look carefully, you can see that many arrowheads are ground out of bones or stones.
However, even so, each of them was beaming with joy, and they were discussing excitedly with each other while urging their horses to move.
"This time when I entered the pass, everyone said that the Great Qinggu Mountain was really there, so I was sure to win. I know everything about the truth and falsehood in the pass!"
"Yes, my brother works as a guard for the capital, and I heard that it is easy to enter the customs this time. The border troops of the Ming Dynasty have rushed to the south to encircle and suppress the rebellion."
"Haha, then when I enter the customs this time, I have to grab an iron pot!"
"Yeah, you're so unambitious, why don't you just grab an iron pot? Let me tell you, I'm going to rob their salt and take away all the salt on their pot table. Look, I've prepared a bag here. When the time comes, this With the pockets full, the mother-in-law at home will be extremely happy!”
"Haha, why do you need the mother-in-law at home? Aren't the women in Guan Nei very clever? Why don't you take a few of them and take them back!"
"That won't work. They just embroider pillows and don't know how to herd animals. That won't work..."
"..."
Compared with these ordinary Tumut tribe members, the tribal leaders surrounding Turg were not much "reserved". Guruge and Hanggao, one on the left and one on the right, surrounded Turge, all rushing to talk.
"Sir, you see, although our left wing is poor, we still did not hesitate to bring out five hundred good war horses. Our loyalty to the Qing Dynasty and our affairs are beyond doubt. This time I entered the customs, my lord But it’s up to us on the left to pick out some spoils first!”
"That won't work. Aren't we on the right wing poor? Are we on the right wing not loyal to the Qing Dynasty and not concerned about your affairs? Sir, you have also seen our tribe. The old and the young have all been brought out. If we don't rob Order something good and go back, I can’t explain it to the tribe!”
"..."
At first, Turg enjoyed the flattery and flattery of these two leaders, but after listening to it for a day, even if he liked it, he was tired of it. At this time, he felt two flies flying "buzzing" in his ears. He couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly shouted "Enough"!
His sudden outburst surprised both Gu Luge and Hang Gao, and they immediately looked at him with that "aggrieved" look.
Turge glanced at them from side to side, remembering that this time, they still had to rely on their two tribes, so he had to endure it again, and after calming down, he said: "This time, the Ming army was transferred to the south to suppress the rebellion, and we arrested If you use the fighter plane to kill them so quickly, there will definitely be enough time for them to grab everything. Don't worry, you will gain more this time than you imagined, so don't fight for a little loot. !”
Having said this, he stretched out his hands and patted the shoulders of the two people on the left and right and said: "You have to look a little wider. If you feel that it is not enough, then grab more! Just say that this time, when I entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, I grabbed it. There are nearly 400,000 humans and animals, even if it is..."
When he said this casually, Turg was choked and couldn't go on, because he originally wanted to say that even if half of them were lost in Weihe, there would still be about 200,000 livestock plundered back to Liaodong. This number is less than The entire Tumut Department must have several times more. But if he had to say this, he would have to talk about his capture by the Ming army. He couldn't tell such a shameful thing.
Turge's mouth opened wide when he heard it. There were so many things that he couldn't imagine. Without hearing Turge's next words, he subconsciously asked: "What is it?"
"Okay, I won't say any more!" Turge looked a little unhappy and immediately changed the subject, "Anyway, it's just one sentence, this time you enter the customs, you just let go. Do you understand? "
Seeing his expression, Guruge came back to his senses and was shocked. He was going to uncover Turge's scars!
So, he quickly shut up and didn't ask, and at the same time nodded immediately, like a chicken pecking at rice: "Listen to your lord, this time we enter the customs, our left wing will completely obey your orders!"
Hanggao looked on happily, haha, which made Turge unhappy. Maybe it would be his turn next time something good happened, so he also expressed his willingness to listen to Turge.
Seeing that they were approaching the pass, Turg came to the map drawn by the Tumote Department. After looking at this simple map for a long time, he pointed with his hand and said: "Minggou's defense here is weak, let's kill from here." Go in! Guruge?”
"Here!" Upon hearing this, Guruge responded quickly.
Turg's face turned serious, and he ordered in a tone that left no room for doubt: "Your left wing will be responsible for the battle at Kenguan!"
"Ah!" When Guruge heard this, he had a grimace on his face, because in this critical battle, according to previous years' experience, the losses would be relatively large. Originally, he thought that both the left and right wings would send troops to attack, but unexpectedly, Turge asked their left wing to attack alone.
Could it be... could he be so petty and seek revenge so quickly?
Thinking about what I had just said, I would completely listen to Turg and not dare to offend Turg, so I had to agree with some reluctance.
Hang Gao next to him felt so happy when he heard it! But at the same time, he also reminded himself that he must listen to Turge and never offend him.
…………
In the battle to break through the barrier, it can be said that Turg has some experience. Under his command, the left and right wings of the Tumut Department launched an offensive in the early morning.
This war is a little different from that in Jizhen. After being attacked, the border troops of Qin did not have a comprehensive defense. They either ran for their lives or hid in the piers of the Great Wall to defend. The Mongol Tatars broke through without spending much effort.
For this, Guluge was a little lucky that the casualties were negligible. It seems that what Turg said about the southward transfer of military forces is true, and even more than imagined. Now that’s good, I’m going to make a fortune this time I enter the customs!
Originally Turge wanted to hit those piers, but neither Guluge nor Hangao wanted to do so. Fighting on the pier is a thankless task. Once you enter the level, hurry up and grab it. Only a fool would compete with the Ming army on the pier. There is no benefit in defeating it anyway!
For those of them who enter the border to rob, there is no such thing as logistics. If the back road is blocked, it is not a big deal. In addition, they are all cavalry, they come and go like the wind, there is no way out.
Moreover, judging from their experience in fighting back and forth with the Ming army, after the Ming army learned that they had entered the pass to hunt grass and valleys, they first strengthened the defenses in various places, instead of sending people to strengthen the defense of the Great Wall first.
In other words, as soon as they entered the pass, they were competing with the Ming army to see whether they would grab things first, or the Ming army would hold on to the things first, and then the two armies would collide? Generally speaking, they tend to have the advantage, because they are all cavalry. If they take over here and move to the next place, they may arrive before the Ming army's messenger arrives. An army with all horses is so fast!
After hearing this, Turge stopped worrying about those piers. Anyway, there were not many Ming troops on each pier. He stayed behind. If he comes back next time, how can he cut off his retreat?
So, he gave an order, and the bandits on the left and right wings of Tumut's tribe suddenly burst into the pass with their eyes bright and howling.
At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen in Yansui immediately issued a decree to put the soldiers and horses of Yulin Town and the cavalry he brought on standby for the generals to see him.
After hearing this decree, He Renlong, Wu Sangui and others knew that a war was about to begin.
The energy they had been holding back could finally be vented. Whether it was He Renlong or Wu Sangui, they all held their heads high and rushed over to listen to the order.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the lobby of Governor Yansui, they saw a huge map of northern Shaanxi hanging there with markings on it. After a little observation, they were surprised. Could this be the marching route of the Tumed Tatars?
With such doubts, when Emperor Chongzhen came out, this doubt was confirmed: "This is the marching route of the left and right wings of Tumut's troops!"
As Emperor Chongzhen spoke, he picked up another ink pen, walked to the map, and began to draw arrows again. Finally, he made a circle and said: "Now they have arrived here, and here, here, and here, The governors of the three sides have already ambushed various Qin border troops..."
This was Emperor Chongzhen's first military meeting, but with his status there, there was no sense of nervousness, just like when he would hold meetings to introduce work in later generations. Or there is the feeling of pointing out the country with a map, just like those war movies of later generations.
However, in the eyes of these generals, it was different. They were surprised by the emperor's eloquent way of introducing the enemy's and ours' military deployments.
Because the emperor seemed to be very knowledgeable and could tell them the enemy's and our military situation very concisely and clearly. This is a very strong ability. You know, the emperor grew up in a deep palace and had no experience of leading troops in war.
Or maybe Taizu fell into a dream and passed on his immediate experience in founding the country to the emperor?
Thinking about it, it seems a bit incredible.
Emperor Chongzhen did not expect them to think so much. After talking about the situation between the enemy and ourselves, he held a thin stick in his hand and looked at these generals and said: "Soon, they will step into the pockets deployed by the governors on the three sides. After taking care of them, they should escape back to the Hetao. I decided to wait for them outside Jingbian Pass, how about it?"
"According to the order!" After hearing this, the generals immediately responded in unison. At the same time, they were all a little worried. These Hetao Tatars would run into the ambush circle of the governors of the three sides. They must not be wiped out!
They can't help but worry, because this time, the governors of the three sides have mobilized their elites, who have been lying in wait for a long time. Compared with the combat power of the two sides, they are not on the same level. He Renlong even thought that even the Tatars would be defeated in such a war, let alone the Hetao Tatars.
"Your Majesty's dragon body is the most important thing, why not sit in Yansui!" Governor Yansui was a little worried and objected.
Emperor Chongzhen shook his head after hearing this. If the Tumut tribe did not follow the previously estimated route when they fled, he would not be able to notify the cavalry in time to intercept them if he was not around. This means that in this battle, if the Tumut tribe must be kept in the pass, he still has to go.
"Just dealing with these rabble, am I still in danger?" Emperor Chongzhen immediately replied, "Besides, I haven't thought about going into battle to kill the enemy. These things have to be done by my generals, yes or no!"
It would be a great honor for them if they could kill the enemy under the emperor's watchful eye. Therefore, upon hearing the emperor's words, He Renlong and others immediately responded in unison, appearing full of confidence.
I finally got to experience the ancient war on the ground! Emperor Chongzhen thought with emotion in his heart, then waved his hand and issued an order to set off!
