Chapter 444: Fierce Battle
The battle of Jizhou is the strongest duel between Daming and Jianyu!
Jianyu dispatched more than 100,000 troops, almost all of Jianguo's troops, and Huang Taiji personally led the army.
And the Ming side mobilized more than 200,000 troops, bringing together all the generals who can fight well in the Ming Dynasty, and the rear is the heart of the Ming Dynasty - Jingshi.
This duel is the largest and most dangerous battle since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, second only to the Tumubao Change!
The two sides fought fiercely from the beginning of November until mid-December.
The passes near Jizhou are fought for by me, and the corpses inside and outside Jizhou City are like mountains.
Jizhou City, fifteen miles away, built a large camp.
.
With the capture of many days, there were some voices of withdrawal within Jianyu.
Mang Gurtai was the most impatient, looked at Huang Taiji and said: "It's been more than a month, except for occupying some small cities, we haven't even replenished a single grain, and if it goes on like this, even if we take Jizhou, we will have to starve to death!" ”
The Ming Dynasty adopted the strategy of clearing the wilderness north of Jizhou, building more than 100,000 troops, with huge daily consumption, and no replenishment, they could not hold out for long.
"Then turn around, trap Jizhou, let's continue south, I don't believe it, in other places, the southern barbarians can also be strong and clear!" Yue Tuo said impatiently.
"No way!" Zilharang suddenly spoke up and said: "The Ming Dynasty has hoarded more than 200,000 troops in Jizhou, if we still divide the troops, we will be eaten by the Ming Dynasty one by one, don't forget, this is the Ming Dynasty Jingshi!" ”
"So what do you say? What can we gain by fighting like this except for increasing consumption? Huang Taiji's eldest son, Haoge, took a sip of wine and said in a deep voice.
A group of people immediately argued, noisy and shouting, and there was chaos in the big tent.
Dai Shan has been sitting with the old god there, listening to more and more unspeakable, looking at Huang Taiji, who is smiling and listening, and said: "Great Khan, if you don't stop it, I'm worried that it will affect the morale of the army." ”
Dai Shan spoke, and everyone stopped talking and looked at Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji looked calm, sat on the chair, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "We did suffer a lot of losses, but the Ming Dynasty was not much better than us, we came quickly, they didn't have time to prepare more than 200,000 troops of grain and grass, and we may not last long." ”
Everyone was stunned, all of them were people who had been fighting for a long time, and they all nodded thoughtfully one after another.
The grain and grass of the 200,000 army, let alone a few months, according to the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, may not be able to raise it in three or five months.
If it is a long-term fierce war, it is indeed difficult to say who will not be able to hold on first.
However, this is a risky gamble, those who march and fight, they will not fight until they have to, not to mention, they are from all over the country...... Can't afford to lose!
They could think of it, and Huang Taiji naturally thought of it, and said: "Amin, Haoge, you each lead 10,000 people, day and night, bypassing Jizhou, and directly attacking the Ming people's Jingshi, they have hoarded 200,000 troops in Jizhou, which is already the largest number of troops, and there will not be many Jingshi, even if there are people, it is enough to mess up the military heart of Jizhou!" ”
Amin suddenly stood up and said loudly: "This should have been done a long time ago, just grind, I'll go!" ”
Haoge saluted Huang Taiji and hurriedly followed.
Dai Shan saw the killing intent in Huang Taiji's eyes flash, and shook his head secretly in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
On the second day, the Jianyu continued to attack the city, but the momentum became weaker and less violent than the previous days.
On the city of Jizhou, Yuan Chonghuan was wearing armor, a little nondescript, he was surrounded by governors, governors, and a group of people were relieved when they saw that Jianyu's momentum was not as good as before.
Geng Ruqi said: "Lord Yuan, I'm afraid that Jianyu is short of food and grass, and he will withdraw his troops." ”
Wang Yuanya also thought so, and said: "Jizhou is impregnable, they haven't grabbed anything, and there is no other way to go except to withdraw the troops." ”
A group of people around them thought the same way, and they couldn't help but smile on their faces.
If this battle is won, they will have to be promoted.
Yuan Chonghuan didn't speak, watching Jianyu attack the city, his face expressionless.
Jianyu is under a lot of pressure, he is not it, but he always feels that Jianyu will not give up so easily. The whole country came, spent more than a month in Jizhen, and withdrew the troops in a gray manner?
This is not the temperament of Jianlu!
But Yuan Chonghuan didn't say much, and when Jianyu's attack was suspended, he recruited Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Shujiao and others.
After listening to Yuan Chonghuan's words, Cao Wenzhao was the first to speak: "In addition to withdrawing troops, if Jianyu wants to make up for grain and grass, he can only go east, but to the east are Shanhaiguan and Tianjin Wei, and there are us behind them, so they shouldn't take risks." ”
Zhao Shujiao suddenly said: "My lord, will Jianyu bypass us like bypassing Shanhaiguan and directly attack Jingshi?" ”
"No, it won't." Hou Shilu said directly: "We have more than 200,000 troops, and we already have an advantage, if Jianlu divides our troops again, are you not afraid that we will counterattack them?" ”
Zhao Shujiao glanced at him and did not speak.
Hou Shilu's words cannot be said to be wrong, theoretically; But the more than 200,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty are really considered 'armies', and the number that can be pulled out to fight is less than 50,000, how can they counterattack?
Now there are only two groups of people who want them to go out of the city to counterattack, one is Jianlu, and the other is the official of the Ming court.
Without waiting for Yuan Chonghuan to speak, a soldier suddenly came outside to report: "Report to your lord, it's foggy outside." ”
Yuan Chonghuan looked slightly startled and ran out quickly.
I didn't know when, there was a heavy fog in the sky over Jizhou City, and the figures from a foot away couldn't see clearly.
Yuan Chonghuan had a bad premonition in his heart, and said: "Zhao Shujiao, you lead five thousand people, rush back to Beijing immediately, and if there are other circumstances, report immediately!" ”
This fog was very beneficial to Jianyu, Zhao Shujiao did not dare to delay, and hurriedly said: "The last general will take the order!" ”
Yuan Chonghuan was still uneasy, looked at Cao Wenzhao again, and said, "Use the fog to tentatively counterattack Jianyu and contain them!" ”
Cao Wenzhao said: "Yes! ”
Yuan Chonghuan felt that this arrangement was not enough, and went to those governors and governors, asking them to make enough noise to force Jianyu not to make any changes.
And Jianyu Daying, Huang Taiji and the others looked at the fog, and their faces showed happy expressions.
Huang Taiji smiled and said, "It seems that my Dajin is really destined for heaven." ”
Mang Gurtai said: "20,000 is not enough, I will take another 20,000 people!" ”
Huang Taiji doesn't like Mang Gurtai, coupled with a series of previous events, the reason why Mang Gurtai is alive is just that Huang Taiji is not ready, and he still has some scruples about Dai Shan and Amin.
"Yue Tuo, you go, 20,000 people, break the capital of the Ming people for Ben Khan!" Huang Taiji said in a deep voice.
"It's the Great Khan!" Yue Tuo walked out, his expression solemn and excited.
Mang Gurtai suddenly snorted coldly, he knew that Huang Taiji was dissatisfied with him, but he didn't care, the four great Baylors, he was still above Huang Taiji!
For the exploratory attack quickly launched by the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji knew that this was deliberately contained, and became more and more happy, and after a melee with the Ming army in the fog, he withdrew and held out.
On the other side, Yue Tuo took advantage of the fog to bypass Jizhou and pounce directly on the Ming Dynasty Jingshi.
