The Mongol general who fought against Xia Wanchun was a Zasak, that is, the "ruler" of a banner, named Xiao'er Zhijin. Tseling (this is a common name for the Mongols, there are many Tseling), is a warrior of the Khalkha Mongol Chechen Khan, and the son of the Chechen Khan Shuolei, of course, the descendant of Genghis Khan!

He was a big, sturdy man who looked like Genghis Khan, riding a bantam steed, and he looked even bigger.

However, this very good-looking Ce Ling can't fight a war, he has learned to chant scriptures, but he has not learned how to win a battle.

He was often bullied by thirty or fifty Cossacks on the Khalkha Mongolian side, and later because his father supported the Sunit minister Tengjisi, so he followed his brother Bemba to lead 30,000 troops to fight Duoduo, of course, it was also a fiasco, and he almost killed Duoduo! A while ago, he followed Bemba south to the Hetao and led his troops to fight against the black spearmen of Zhu Cijiong, the acting king, in the Hanhai Sands, needless to say, they were defeated again......

This defeat has increased my knowledge after fighting a lot! Therefore, this Ce Ling has already seen that the black spear and mule soldiers and Cossacks of the Ming Dynasty that he met are of the same level. The style of play is similar, I don't like archery very much, I like to play black guns and charge. The black gun can be hit under the horse, ruthless and accurate! The rush was also fierce, and ordinary Mongolian warriors couldn't resist it at all.

More than a hundred Cossacks resting in the steppes and woodlands south of Lake Baikal are a large army! Without thousands of Mongolian warriors, no one would dare to fight hard!

And with only 1,000 Mongol cavalry under Ce Ling, how could he beat more than a hundred Ming and black spearmen who were about the same as the Cossacks? And most of these black spearmen of the Ming army still have backup!

Therefore, he did not dare to order his subordinates to launch an assault now, but continued to monitor the enemy situation while reporting the enemy situation to Buba, Chahun Dorji (the heir of Tushetu Khan), Wangshuk (the heir of Zasaktu Khan) and others, who commanded the Mongol army in the rear.

Seeing thousands of Mongols standing stupidly on the other side of the river, Xia Wanchun knew that Mongolia was cheating! I must want to use my more than 100 people to lure out the team behind!

"Let's fight and go!" Xia Wanchun called the three platoon commanders under his command, "Steak, all the archers are brought to you, and they are in charge of the palace." Lao Li, the musketeers will give it to you, retreat three or five miles first, and then find a place to set up an ambush. Zhao San, you follow me with the lancers. ”

"Whoa!"

The three platoon commanders responded together, and then retreated in turn, the black lancers went first, then the lancers, and less than thirty archers were in charge of the rear of the palace, and they retreated like a gust of wind.

As soon as they retreated, Celing received another 2,000 reinforcements, led by his two brothers, Celing's father, Chechen Khan Shuolei, was very good at giving birth to sons, and Zasak of the 23 banners under his command were all sons of Shuolei.

This time, Shuo Lei sent his heir Buba to take Celing, Batel, and Batu Erdeni, and led 6,000 warriors from the Chechen Khan to Beizhili. Now Tseling, Battle, and Batu Erdeni have come together.

Battle and Batu Erdeni also brought exciting good news to Celing.

"The Great Khan has arrived in Tianjin!" Battle said, "The Great Khan has passed down a holy decree, telling us to keep the southern barbarians who have penetrated deep into the area of Ayutthaya County no matter what!" As long as they are retained, the army of the Southern Barbarian Governor Scofa will move north...... As long as he dares to come, the Great Khan can wipe him out in one fell swoop! ”

The current battlefield is located in Dacheng County, Shuntianfu, and Tianjin is in the northeast of Dacheng County, and the distance between the two places is 120 miles.

Shunzhi's departure from Beijing and Tianjin was a good move, because Tianjin was the only way for the Ming army to attack Beijing in the north - without taking Tianjin, the waterway to Beijing would be impassable. The waterway is impassable, and the troops attacking the city of Beijing (how can they all get 100,000 people?) Even eating can be a problem!

And Beijing has been transformed into a strong fortress that must be breached with a large number of siege artillery!

The dead weight of such large-caliber guns was extremely large, and it was very difficult to transport them by land.

In addition to jamming the throat of the Ming army going north, attacking from Tianjin can also quickly outflank the Ming army, and it is only 400 miles from Tianjin to the Daqing River, and the cavalry is only three or four days to rush forward.

Therefore, Shunzhi's plan was to attract Shi Kefa's main force to the vicinity of Dacheng County, and then send elite cavalry to outflank Shi Kefa's back road, turning him into Hong Chengchou's second.

And the elite cavalry in the mind of the Mongol Great Khan of Shunzhi is more than 10,000 people from the forward battalion, the Xiao cavalry battalion, the firearms battalion (mounted infantry), and the cowardly Xue battalion led by the ministers, plus the 15,000 Mongolian cavalry recruited from the Zhaowuda League, where the Horqin Six Banners are located, if you only count the soldiers, the total is less than 26,000 people.

In addition, there are 5,000 soldiers in the battalion on the Tianjin Wei side who have been mobilized, and they can also follow the elite soldiers of the Shunzhi Great Khan.

As for the other "Mongolian iron horses" that were brought by Shunzhi, they were used as bait to attract Shi Kefa.

......

Shi Kefa has now moved to Wuqiao, the place where the Wuqiao mutiny took place. Before the arrival of Shi Kefa's army, there were only more than 100 residents left in the city, and it was a village in the south of the Yangtze River.

A thatched-roof county government in "Wuqiao Village" is now where Governor Shi's Chinese army is located. He has been an official for half his life, and it is the first time he has seen a thatched-roof yamen...... It's really insightful!

However, the inside of the thatched yamen is still quite warm, the windows are nailed with wooden boards, the door is hung with a thick curtain, and there is a stove inside, which is very comfortable.

Because it is approaching the end of the year, the battlefield is relatively calm, so Shi Kefa has been relatively idle in the past two days, he has not dealt with much military affairs this morning, and there is nothing to do after lunch, so he took out the notes he made when he attended a cram school in Nanjing and looked at it, and when he was looking at it, suddenly a cold wind came to his face, Shi Kefa looked up and saw Gao Jie and Huang Degong coming in one after the other.

These two generals were originally enemies, and Huang Degong thought he was the "ace of the lineage", and he couldn't get used to Gao Jie's miscellaneous card. And Gao Jie because his wife became Chongzhen's goddaughter (Xing's age is about the same as Chongzhen, but she is a big girl), so she thinks she is a relative of the emperor and the country, and she looks down on Huang Degong. However, in the past few years, they have been miscellaneous cards under Emperor Zhu, the team has been transformed and transformed, and they also went to Nanjing to make up classes and became classmates in cram schools.

"Junmen," Gao Jie still had no rules, arched his hand at Shi Kefa, even if he saluted, and then said, "Li Yuanbo (Li Yuanyin) is in a hurry, and he has caught a big fish!" ”

Huang Degong was a little more disciplined, and arched his hand: "My subordinates have seen the military gate." Then he added, "Vice General Li encountered tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in the area from Dacheng County to Qingxian County, and they were fighting fiercely. ”

"Tens of thousands of Mongols?" Shi Kefa was taken aback, "Li Yuanbo is under siege?" ”

"No," Huang Degong shook his head, "the Mongols that Vice General Li encountered were very weak, and they should be nomadic Mongols from the steppe." Although there were tens of thousands of people, they could not keep 1,500 mule soldiers. Therefore, after encountering the enemy in Dacheng County, Vice General Li fought and left, leading them to Qingxian. Qingxian is located on the edge of the canal, it is a large county, and the county seat is intact enough to hold on. ”

Gao Jie said: "Governor, the opportunity is rare, let's hurry up and go north, and fight hard, so that these Mongols will not dare to come to the Central Plains to spread wilderness!" ”

Shi Kefa thought for a while: "Qingxian is more than 200 miles away from us, and only 120 miles away from Tianjin...... Will Tianjin's Dongyu go south? ”

"Don't be afraid," Huang Degong said, "Gao Yuma and I have 16 regiments, and there are 2 other divisions that can be used, a total of more than 60,000 people." In addition, there are 800 mule soldiers and 4 artillery battalions that can be dispatched at any time, not afraid of not winning the war. ”
