Chapter 1035: The Wind Blows
The wind was strong outside, and a southeast wind suddenly came.
It's mid-April, and the weather is getting hotter, and instead of bringing the slightest coolness, the wind makes it extremely hot inside and outside the Great Wall.
A few days later, the ironclad cavalry of Zhao led the sect to come out day and night, and it was not far from the Naturalization City.
Zhao Shujiao was wearing thick heavy armor, his eyes were hidden in the glass, he first glanced at the direction of Guihua City, then turned his head to look behind him, and said in a muffled voice: "Haven't you instructed yet?" ”
A guard behind him stepped forward and said, "My lord, not yet, it is estimated that Dorgon has not arrived yet, and we will have to wait another day." ”
Zhao Shujiao was already covered in sweat, looked up at the still dazzling sun, and said: "Tell the soldiers that the armor will not leave the body, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”
"Yes!"
This order quietly spread among the ironclad army, but as if it had not been passed on, everyone stood by the horses, motionless and majestic.
This cavalry also spent a lot of Zhu Xu's efforts, and in the past five years, at least eight million taels have been invested, you know, there are only five thousand people!
This ironclad cavalry is armed to the teeth, Daming can skillfully use all kinds of weapons, and his body is full of all kinds of things, and ordinary people can't recognize them all!
The ironclad cavalry was hidden more than a hundred miles away from the Naturalization City, quietly hiding.
In Shen. In the direction of the sun, Dolgon's cavalry was galloping, they were out day and night, desperately hurrying whenever they had time, and now they were not far from the city of naturalization.
In a valley, the group of horsemen dismounted to rest, and the horses were also tired and lying on their sides, with more air in and less air out.
Dolgon, Daishan, Duoduo, Mandahai and others sat together, biting dry food, drinking water, and their expressions were different.
Dai Shan's face was full of wind and frost, and he said with a sad face, "There are only three days of dry food left, if there is no replenishment, we will starve to death in the desert." ”
Dolgon already had the bearing of a leader, sat upright, his expression unchanged, and said: "Sun Chengzong said that when we meet under the Naturalization City, he will provide us with enough food and grass. ”
Duoduo snorted coldly and said, "Brother, you trust them so much, what if they want to destroy us and Chahar together?" ”
Dorgon took a bite of the bread in his hand and said, "There is no way. ”
Duoduo's face changed greatly, and just as he was about to say more, Man Dahai hurriedly said: "Don't be excited, at this time, there is only one bet!" ”
Duoduo looked at Dolgon's expression, hesitated for a moment, but still snorted coldly, and sat back with an ugly face.
Dai Shan looked up at the Jurchen warriors who had been following them not far away, sighed lightly in his heart, turned to Dolgon and said, "Success or failure is here, do you really have no other plans in your heart?" ”
Dolgon's face was calm as usual, but if you look closely, you will find that his eyebrows have never been loosened, and he said indifferently: "No." ”
Dai Shan, Duoduo, Man Dahai and others looked at him, the corners of their mouths squirmed, and they didn't speak in the end.
Now the one who is under the most pressure is Dolgon. The last bit of Jurchen belongings are here, if the Ming people have malicious intentions and destroy them here, then the Dajin Kingdom will really be destroyed!
"Rest for one night, and the day after tomorrow, rush to the Naturalization City as promised!" Dorgon got up and walked to the horses not far away, leaving behind a cold voice.
Everyone looked at his back, frowning, and their expressions were solemn.
They have been in danger since they left South Annan, and now, the most dangerous time has come.
When Dolgon and others were preparing, on the Great Wall, Man Gui stood majestically beside Sun Chengzong, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, the last general immediately sent troops to block the east gate of Guihua City, Dolgon blocked the north gate, and Zhao led the sect to block the south gate, and they were caught off guard and fled in embarrassment!" ”
Sun Chengzong calculated the time and said, "Okay, you send troops immediately!" The artillery then caught up, and as long as the Naturalization City was taken, it would never be lost again! With this naturalized city in hand, the border troubles in the north will be solved! ”
"Yes!"
Man Gui didn't hear anything else, knelt down on one knee and said loudly, and immediately got up and left again. The cloak is blowing, if there is the sound of Jingo.
As soon as Man Gui left, Zhang Zhiji said: "My lord, the artillery is also ready, but it will take at least five or six days to reach the Naturalization City, do you want to leave now?" ”
Sun Chengzong looked at the north, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, take a look first." ”
Zhang Zhiji was stunned, although Sun Chengzong's face couldn't see anything, but he suddenly had an intuition, it seemed that Sun Ge Lao was not 100% sure of this battle.
At this time, Lin Dan Khan and Niklu were still taking turns fooling the Ming Dynasty's 'peace mission', trying to find out something in every possible way, but naturally they were asking for a price and constantly tempting.
The main task of this 'peace mission' is to stall for time and deal with Chahar, and most of them are detailed works of Chahar. These two groups of people are talking back and forth, in fact, they are acting, and they are talking to other people other than them, the Ming Dynasty's 'peace mission'.
A few of them really wanted to 'negotiate peace', but they tried their best to put forward the conditions that they thought they could, and they agreed to it, and they were eager to draw a pledge immediately.
But in the past, Jinyiwei, who is now subordinate to the Military Intelligence Department, watched with a sneer, waiting for an opportunity to walk around the city, contact the secret pile, and quietly gather at the north gate of the city.
That night, Lin Dan Khan got rid of the others, came to the city with Nikru, looked at the starry sky, felt the dry weather, and said irritably, "I hate the desert summer the most, as if it can take away all my ......"
Nikru dressed simply, held a fan, and said with a smile: "There is no need to be impatient with the Great Khan, the Ming people have ice cubes, and they will bring some back when the time comes." ”
As soon as Lin Danhan heard this, he was full of comfort, and laughed: "Haha, that's right!" When the time comes, every son must have it, and when we step through the Great Wall in the future, we will no longer be angry by this ghost weather! ”
Nikru smiled, waited for a while, glanced at Lin Dan Khan, and said, "Great Khan, do you think that something is strange recently?" ”
Lin Danhan was stunned and said, "Strange? What's so strange? ”
Nikru's brows furrowed slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "I can't say it either, but I always feel that it's been a little too quiet lately." ”
Nikru is a smart person after all, although he can't see anything specific wrong in the current situation, he still keenly feels it.
Lin Dan Khan listened to his words, and immediately became cautious, his expression was calm, and said: "What you say, I also think that the Ming people retreated too simply and too thoroughly, and this peace mission seems to be a little ......."
"Feel free!"
Nikru continued, his expression was as solemn as ink, and said: "It stands to reason that in this kind of peace, the Ming Dynasty must send a Shangshu to be qualified, and now he is actually a six-grade petty official, and he came as he said, it was too casual, as if the Ming Dynasty court didn't know at all!" ”
Lin Dan Khan was already chilling behind his back, and said, "You say, what kind of conspiracy does the Ming people have?" Could it be that they are going to war again? ”
Nikru immediately smiled confidently again, shook his head and said: "100,000 troops, it is easy to say that it is easy to fight, but it is impossible to say that it will not fight after the war." The Ming Dynasty has repeatedly postponed the war, until now it has completely withdrawn its troops, it must be because there is internal strife, and they have no choice but to withdraw their troops, they want to start a war again, even those who fought in the past will not agree......"
Lin Danhan's expression was slightly relieved when he heard this, and he nodded in agreement.
The battle started by the Ming people is not as good as them, there are too many preparations before and after, even if it is grain and grass, it can't be raised at all without two or three months, and now it has been delayed for more than a month, and if you want to do it again, whether it is grain and grass or morale, it is not so easy.
Although Lin Danhan's face was a little relaxed, he was still worried in his heart, and looked at Niklu and said, "Then you say, what is Mingren planning for?" Since we can't afford to fight a big war, isn't peace the only way out? Could it be that they really didn't worry about Ben Khan going south to Kouguan from time to time, disturbing them to be unpeaceful? ”
Nikru was also pondering, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "I don't know, but since the Ming people can't fight, then everything is still up to us!" ”
When Lin Danhan heard this, his face burst out with murderous intent, and he sneered, "That's right!" No matter what conspiracy the Ming people have, I will personally lead the army and break it with all my might! ”
Nikru nodded, and said solemnly: "Great Khan, we can't wait any longer, we will reorganize the army tomorrow, and the army will press into the civil fort, whether it is war or peace, we want the most benefits, and we must not continue to let the Ming people be high, in the future, in the north, the Great Khan has the final say!" ”
Lin Dan Khan immediately had a lot of pride in his chest, and he couldn't wait to rise into the sky, he pressed it, his eyes widened angrily, and said: "Okay, tomorrow we will reorganize the army and send troops to the civil fort!" ”
Seeing that Lin Dan Khan was willing to listen to him, Nikru let go of the last trace of uneasiness in his heart.
As he said, if the Ming Dynasty wants to start a war, it can only be done in one go, and if it hesitates a little, then it can only retreat and bite the bullet, which is a big defeat!
This is the common sense of marching and fighting, and it is also a law, and gods and ghosts cannot change it.
Early the next morning, the Naturalization City, which seemed to be accustomed to being full of wine and meat, and wanton and unbridled, suddenly rang a fierce bell.
"What's wrong? Morning...... Ah......h
Someone slept on horseback and fell off as soon as he opened his eyes.
"It's the Great Khan, the Great Khan is gathering ......" There was a sleepy-eyed hazy looking in the direction of the sweat tent, muttering to himself, and then fell asleep again.
"No matter what, keep drinking, you have to drink to win!" A few people were lying staggered together, still shouting with flasks.
At this time, Lin Dan Khan, Nikru, and Namu Zhong stood on the city tower, looking at the sparse and lazy crowd in the city, all of them were stunned and then embarrassed.
For half an hour, I gathered everywhere, and there were less than 10,000 people!
Lin Dan Khan's horsewhip was raised, and he slapped a thousand households in the face over and over again, and said angrily: "Is this still a soldier of my Great Mongolian Kingdom?" Who allowed them to be so presumptuous! ”
The thousand households stood still, and waited for Lin Dan to sweat enough before he said: "Great Khan, the sons and daughters have been a little loose recently, and there are more hangovers and not waking up, and now ...... I can't scream. ”
Nikru was also surprised, he didn't expect that it was only ten days, and the best Mongolian warriors couldn't get on the horse!
Lin Dan Khan whipped a few more lashes, turned to Nikru, and said breathlessly, "What now?" ”
Nikru groaned and said, "It's not a moment, the most important thing at the moment is to ban alcohol, and no soldier is allowed to touch alcohol again!" ”
Lin Dan Khan knew that this was the only way, looked at the seven thousand households in front of him, and said coldly: "Don't go quickly!" ”
"Yes!" Seven thousand households trembled and hurriedly ran out.
Lin Dan Khan's temper has always been bad, that is, he can barely endure it at this time, if it were any other time, he would have killed people a long time ago.
As soon as a few thousand households left, a sentry suddenly ran over and said urgently: "Great Khan, half an hour ago, the big basket on the Great Wall suddenly rose again, and there were traces of Ming people in some places, all on some mountains, high places, and hundreds of miles away from us!" ”
Lin Dan Khan and Nikru's faces changed abruptly, and the two of them lay on the city wall together, their eyes wide open, and they looked hard to the south.
Naturally, they couldn't see anything, but the two of them were wary of the conspiracy of the Ming Dynasty last night, and now the slightest wind and grass can touch their sensitive nerves.
Lin Danhan turned his head, looked at Nikru, wrinkled his brows, and said, "You say, what do Ming people want to do?" ”
Nikru didn't understand it now, his eyes were deep, his face changed, and he said: "Great Khan, don't be in a hurry, immediately gather the warriors and deal with what may happen at any time." Then order all the spies to disperse and find out everything around them! ”
Lin Dan Khan was a little flustered at this time, Chahar's households, there are not many soldiers who can get on the horse, if he fights with the Ming Dynasty, no matter whether he wins or loses, Chahar will decline, and he will not come in ten or eight years!
"Go!" Lin Danhan yelled at the guards beside him, his face was hideous, he was really anxious.
The guard was startled, and hurriedly said, "Yes!" ”
Namu Zhong, who was not far behind Lin Dan Khan, also had a slight change in face, she had never seen Lin Dan Khan like this.
Almost in the next moment, the entire Naturalization City was in chaos, this big cyan city, the shouts came and went, I don't know how many people were still drunk, and they were pulled out with great dissatisfaction.
And, from within the city, countless cavalry flew out, spread out like nets, and rushed in all directions.
Nikru forced himself to calm down, but the bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and he still said, "Great Khan, don't worry, it's still what we agreed on last night, no matter how big the conspiracy is, we can break it!" ”
Lin Danhan could still listen to Nikru's words at this time, glanced at him coldly, turned around and went downstairs.
He has also experienced a hundred battles, and at this moment, he has a strong sense of unease, and he can even foresee something.
Nikru looked slightly panicked, and hurriedly followed down the city tower and followed Lin Dan Khan's side.
The cold sweat on his head couldn't help it, and his steps were a little vague and unsteady.
