Chapter 208: Substitute for the Dead Ghost
The dusk at the turn of spring and summer is a bit boring.
At this time, in the Shengjing City, the heads of people moving around complement each other, giving people a feeling of depression.
"Da Da ......"
The sound of horses' hooves echoed on the official road in the south outside the city, and a scout cavalry with a yellow flag wearing leather armor rode his horse and galloped forward, with the towering Shengjing City Wall in front of him.
After the Tartars occupied Shengjing City, it was renovated on a large scale, the repaired Shengjing City Wall is more than four zhang high, the circumference is about 33 li, it is an irregular trowel circle, the whole body is built by the blue brick rammed earth wall, and there are eight gates.
When the cavalry galloped to the city gate, the defenders who had wanted to stop him saw the three red flags planted at his collar, and hurriedly got out of the way.
This kind of cavalry with three small red flags on the collar must have an urgent mission to report.
Houjin's Eight Banners rules are extremely strict, in this case, let alone a few of their small soldiers, even Ezhen and Baylor dared to stop it, and it was in vain if they were killed by a collision.
Now everyone is wantonly carrying out plans to evacuate Shengjing City and even evacuate the Great Northeast, and the streets are full of people, and there are people running in a hurry everywhere.
Today's streets in Shengjing City, large and small, are full of carts full of various materials, and there are a large number of war horses, bustling, and the roads are very crowded.
The scout, with great difficulty, had managed to cross the crowded street, and after galloping to the front of the palace, he jumped off his horse with a tumbling roll, and then took out a wooden box from his body and handed it to the guard guarding the door.
The guard did not dare to slack off, and after taking the box, he hurried towards the palace, shouting as he ran: "Urgent military situation urgent...... Get out of the way! Expedited ...... from the South"
"Great Khan...... Urgent information sent from outside! ”
This wooden box was quickly delivered to Huang Taiji, who was hurriedly having dinner with several concubines.
Most of these concubines were sent by various brothers and even their son Hauge, and they were sent to the palace not long ago.
In order to let Huang Taiji vent his excess anger, so as not to vomit blood often because the anger is too great.
The Later Jin is very different from the Han people, the Han women pay attention to the beginning, marry their husbands, and teach their children, while the Later Jin pays attention to the weak to obey the strong.
When the Jin clan had not yet been unified, the tribesmen were also fighting against each other, and the losing side, whether it was property or children, was owned by the winning party, which was the survival criterion of the jungle.
It can be seen that the nomads of this era do not attach much importance to this kind of thing.
Huang Taiji, who had just eaten and drunk in a hurry, stood up and stretched out his fat hand to take the wooden box.
He carefully inspected the fire paint and seal of the wooden box before opening it carefully, and soon a secret message appeared in front of his eyes.
After Huang Taiji opened the fold and looked at it, his face began to change, and then he said in a stern and somewhat anxious tone: "Set up the imperial study, and declare that the banner masters and all the people will enter the palace immediately!" ”
"Huh!" ……
When several guards heard this, they quickly left.
A quarter of an hour later, Huang Taiji's imperial study was crowded with dozens of ministers who had arrived in a hurry.
Looking at the several Baylors and many Ezhen adults who packed the imperial study, Huang Taiji said to everyone with a sinking face:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I just got the news that the new army of the Ming Dynasty did not rest after the previous war, but gathered more than 100,000 troops and launched a pursuit, and at most half an hour will be able to reach the edge of the Hunhe River!"
When everyone heard this, their faces became ugly: since the rapid re-emergence of the Ming Empire, their post-Jin days are not as good as day by day.
Even the few Mongolian tribes that had previously submitted to them began to have different hearts, and everyone's life was tight.
Although the days are sad, everyone also endures it, who let the current Ming Empire actually have the emperor Zhu Youxiao?
If you can't beat others, you have to pretend to be a grandson.
But now it's okay, people won't even give you the opportunity to pretend to be a grandson, this is the rhythm of flipping the table!
Originally, everyone thought that they had thrown away so many property, people, cattle, sheep and horses before, so they could delay the Ming New Army overnight, so that everyone had enough time to prepare for the evacuation.
Where did you think that this hateful emperor of the Ming Empire and his army would not even give them a night's time.
Now it seems that it is too late to pack up the remaining supplies and run away calmly.
No! Even the supplies that have been packed up now have to be thrown away.
Otherwise, the other side is all cavalry with one man and two horses, and he marches together with so many carts, where will he outrun the enemy?
Today's situation is extremely critical, and it is not just as simple as leaving behind most of the property and almost all of the cattle, sheep, horses, and clothed slaves to run away. fifth
It is also necessary to leave behind a death brigade with strong combat effectiveness to delay the advance of the opponent's army and buy enough time for the main force to safely exit the Zhenxi Fort and march towards the Horqin Division.
That's a huge conundrum.
The Eight Banners of the Han Army are definitely not good, it is estimated that one photo will be defeated by the Ming New Army, and it is almost the same as sending people to the head.
And his own people, now all the Three Banner soldiers combined, are only about 100,000 people, where will they be sent to death?
So......
Thinking of this, everyone looked at the two very strong men standing with their heads held high.
These two people are extremely tall and burly, with faces full of meat, and their eyes are open and closed, and they are like trying to eat people from time to time!
These two people are the two White Flag Owners who have just been formed, Goode and Goode.
The two of them are the tribal leaders of the Sauron tribe, the source of the notorious Tartar dead soldiers.
This Sauron tribe is more fierce than the warriors of the Houjin clan.
They are truly not afraid of death, as long as there is a bite to eat for them, they will definitely help you hack anyone to death.
This Sauron clan, almost everyone is a sharpshooter, and they are really fierce when they climb mountains and mountains like walking on flat ground.
These Haixi Jurchen tribes are not pure nomadic people, especially in the area close to the Liaodong Peninsula, and they are barbarian tribes deeply influenced by the Han people.
However, in times of war, although they can gather hundreds of thousands of people in a roar, they are also tribes.
It is simply whimsical for such a scattered tribe to rise, survive and grow in this iron law of the prairie where the weak eat the strong.
Just like the Haixi Jurchen Sauron tribe where Gude and Gu Bai are located, although there are less than 100,000 people in the whole clan, their stations are very scattered, and there is no rigorous atmosphere at all.
But you can't underestimate the warriors of the Saurons, they are a truly terrifying people who can fight to the last man, and they are extremely faithful to their promises, and have made many great contributions to the siege of the Later Golden Tartars in history.
Historically, a considerable part of the white-armored soldiers who broke through the city first were all Sauron warriors.
Although they do not have their own cultural heritage, they regard their interests as more important than their lives.
This so-called benefit is to keep one's people well fed and have sharp enough weapons to use.
Their requirements are as simple as that, these real barbarians are almost similar to the mercenaries of Western countries during this period.
Therefore, when Huang Taiji reorganized the two white flags, he took the Sauron tribe as the backbone, responsible for governing the plundered Haixi Jurchen tribes, and re-established the two white flags.
"Goode, Gubai, I will give you a large amount of food and armor, do you dare to stop those new armies of the Ming Empire?"
Huang Taiji deeply knew what these truly fierce warriors of the Sauron clan needed, and he didn't beat around the bush and said straight to them.
Anyway, judging from the current situation, most of the grain, cattle, sheep and horses have no time to take away, so it is better to hand them over to the two white flags that have just been formed.
Although I know that these two white flags, when they meet the new army of the Ming Dynasty, they are both sent to death and crushed into slag by the other party, but what Huang Taiji wants is time.
If he could delay the new army of the Ming Empire for a night, he would have already led the whole clan out of Zhenxi Fort and headed for the endless prairie.
As long as they arrived at the Horqin Department safely, at that time, even if the Ming Empire had a million more cavalry, they would definitely not be able to catch up with their own clansmen and warriors who had grown up on horseback since they were children on the boundless steppe.
Then, the crisis of extermination can be lifted immediately, as long as it does not collide with the Ming New Army head-on in the future.
"Great Khan, don't worry, as long as we have enough money, food, and armor, we Sauron are not afraid of anyone."
Goode and Cooper were overjoyed to hear this.
Since they led those poor clansmen and reorganized the two white flags, they have not fought against the new army of the Ming Empire at all, although they don't know the combat effectiveness of the other party, but where can they be afraid?
"Good!"
Huang Taiji's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
Presumably, with these battles, the warriors of the Sauron clan, who are like madmen, led an army of 60,000 under two white flags to block the more than 200,000 new troops of the Ming Dynasty, which was enough for themselves and all the warriors of the clan to escape safely.
Since the plan was completed and time was urgent, Huang Taiji immediately announced the adjournment of the meeting and ordered everyone to make final preparations immediately.
He repeatedly explained that before the sun set, the whole clan must evacuate Shengjing City and go directly north to go out.
