Chapter 158: Zhan Haoge 800 Breaks 80,000 (1) Second Shift
On the same day, two armies were sent out from Dahan in Chahar, and the two armies parted ways after leaving the city.
All the way is the 2,000 Chahar generals led by Barun, still under the banner of the Qing Dynasty, out of the city around the northeast, Pegasus to the city of Wengniute Tucheng.
The other way is Lin Yi's men and horses, these more than 800 horsemen still go out of the city as Jin merchants, they come all the way to the carriage and horses, go out of the southeast for a while, and then turn to the north of Weng Niute Tucheng.
Lin Yi's group of men and horses were about 200 miles farther than from Barun's Dahan Ear directly to the northeast to Wengniute Tucheng, and according to their way of walking, it was about a day's journey.
Lin Yi made such a detour, of course, with a purpose, to deliberately free up some time for Barron's people.
"Brother Lin, how long will we have to wear these tattered clothes?" Xiao Ying has long been accustomed to wearing military uniforms, and now let her pretend to be a woman from Jin Shang, although the fabric of these clothes is not bad, and she is shining on her, but she still feels very uncomfortable, the goal of conquering the two tribes has been achieved now, and she has also set a clever plan to break Haoge, Lin Yi also took them to swagger through the market like this, she pouted dissatisfied.
Lin Yi smiled, "Ying'er really doesn't like red makeup and arms, but soon, I'll let you wear this kind of outfit for two days at most, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to wear it in the future." β
"It's not uncommon for me to wear this." Xiao Ying said angrily.
Along the way, Lin Yi found that Zhezhe had been depressed, Lin Yi knew what the crux of her problem was when he thought about it, his father and brother were trapped in Haoge's army, life and death were unpredictable, and the time was not short, in case Haoge had no patience to attack the city, then everything would be over.
"Zhezhe, are you thinking about the matter of Wengniute City again, don't worry, it will never be fine, I will send people to investigate."
Zhezhe nodded vigorously at him, with a pair of big watery eyes, casting a trusting glance at Lin Yi.
While comforting Zhezhe, Lin Yi also mourned in his heart, may God bless him, if he mislucked this time, he would pit Zhezhe's family, and he would feel guilty for a lifetime, and what was more serious was that Da Ming broke the contract, and it would be difficult to use this method to win over other Mongolian tribes.
Zhang Hua took a few people to be ordered, and a few fast horses left them and galloped away.
Seeing Lin Yi comforting Zhezhe, Xiaoying and a few maidservants also came to comfort and persuade.
A day later, Lin Yi's men and horses appeared in the hilly area more than 140 miles south of Wengniute City and more than 230 miles north of Xifengkou Pass of the Great Wall.
At this time, Zhang Hua and others came back and said that the city of Wengniute was safe and sound, but Haoge's soldiers and horses were surrounded like iron buckets, and they could attack the city at any time.
Lin Yi smiled: "Ha, don't worry, if I Lin Yi doesn't appear, Haoge will not attack the city, Lao Tzu has already checked his pulse!"
Zhezhe and the others' hearts were relieved, and they prayed in their hearts that her father and brother could support it for two more days at most, and it was done, and she now had no doubts about Lin Yi's strategy.
Lin Yi counted on his fingers, this time from leaving Xifengkou Pass to the present, this big circle has taken thirteen days, with a total journey of more than 1,000 miles.
One more day, they would easily drive outside the city of Onniut, take a day of rest, and then go to war, which is of course the most ideal. This coincides with the time when his chief soldier Liu Zhaoji set half a month later to break Haoge's men and horses and relieve the siege of Urn Niute City.
Although this half-month trip was full of twists and turns, on the whole, the goal was successfully completed and the expected results were achieved. Moreover, two time bombs were planted in Hauge's barracks, and Lin Yi was very satisfied.
It's mid-autumn, and the afternoon is still blazing.
Lin Yi was hot and thirsty, and he also felt tired, and planned not to go any further. The herald immediately set up camp in the village, rest here tonight, and set off again after the third watch, a distance of more than 100 miles, and will be able to appear near the city of Wengniute early tomorrow.
Some people began to camp, some people began to bury pots to make rice, more than 800 people, so many days can not only rely on eating dry food, pots and pans of water, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are carried on the car, every time they go to a Mongolian tribe, and replenish, so they will not talk about it in the Mongolian tribe along the way, and they will be treated as guests, that is, they will live a very nourishing life in the wilderness.
The simple barracks tent was quickly set up, and at this time the meals were ready, and Lin Yi ordered the whole army to eat.
However, Lin Yi's meal is a small pot of rice, Xiao Ying is in charge of the spoon herself, in the Sanchakou Military Station, this is Xiao Ying's job, so it is very professional. Zhezhe and the four maidservants gave her a hand, and a sumptuous meal was prepared by her, and the four maidservants quickly put the meal on the table, full of color, flavor, and steam.
When he was serving food to the tent, he was seen by Zhang Hua.
He flattened his mouth and said with envy: "My lord is really blessed, so many women are waiting, it's really good."
He Tao said: "You are content, we eat not badly, there are vegetables and soup, rice and noodles steamed buns, and wine and meat every three or five days, where can the generals of the Ming Dynasty catch up with our lives?" Of course, can we compare with adults? Are you kid thinking about the girl again, don't say it anymore, if the second tiger is here, he should scold you again. β
"Who is not satisfied, who thinks, I just talk, can't I just talk?" Zhang Hua snorted at He Tao, turned his head and left, He Tao poked the back of his head, shook his head, and said that the two of them went to eat.
After eating, people were left on guard, and the rest of the people all slept, of course, the war horses also had to rest, scrub and drink, and have someone to take care of them.
In fact, it was a little after three o'clock in the afternoon, and they were tired from walking, although it was hot and they quickly fell asleep.
Inside Lin Yi's tent, outside were his personal soldiers, patrolling and standing guard. Inside, four maidservants took turns to fan Zhezhe and Xiaoying, while Xiaoying and Zhezhe took turns fanning Lin Yi.
Lin Yi soon fell asleep. I slept comfortably this night, and it wasn't until the third watch that someone called Lin Yi up.
Because he is young and strong, he also digests when he sleeps, and the one who slept this night, and ate enough yesterday afternoon, is no longer there. I went outside to pee, squatted and pooped, and my stomach was empty.
Lin Yi washed his face, Xiaoying brought him dry food, Lin Yi took a few bites, Zhezhe handed over the water, Lin Yi drank some more water, and now he felt much more comfortable in his stomach.
At this time, more than 800 people outside all gathered.
Looking at the starry sky in the sky, Lin Yi forbade the use of fire, lest he be discovered by the distant spies released by the Qing soldiers.
Just after the third watch, Lin Yi took more than 800 people, drove away more than 20 cars, turned out of the hilly slopes, and began to hit the road.
Outside, there was only the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of heavy carts crushing the ground, and the sound of small shouting of cattle.
They walked forward unhurriedly, and when the sky seemed to be dawn, they had already walked 100 miles. Lin Yi's men and horses appeared about 40 miles south of Wengniute City.
Lin Yi felt that he couldn't go any further, this place was already very close to Haoge's men and horses, and 800 people and horses were looking for a place to camp again.
After the camp was set up, Lin Yi immediately ordered to change clothes, 800 warriors had already prepared, a few minutes later, a full set of Jin merchants were all gone, and then under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, these 800 men and horses turned into a mighty and majestic Ming army.
Lin Yi also restored his original appearance, from a young and handsome Wensheng son, to a majestic horse commander who was full of armor, crossed the horse and slashed the sword, and was led by a majestic horse.
Leaving the men and horses to patrol the camp around, the rest of the men and horses went to the camp tent and began to rest, because it was just dawn, and they had walked for half the night, and rest was necessary to recover their combat strength......
After Balun left Dahar with 2,000 Chahar's elite cavalry, he came all the way northeast Pegasus.
While galloping on the horse, Barron thought, this time Brother Lin has a clever plan, Haoge's dog thief must not escape justice, if he can catch him this time, he must be broken into thousands of pieces, the king's wife and children, the old and the young, now the wife is separated, and they were killed by the dog thief, in fact, they died in the hands of Huang Taiji's father and son, bribing the people around the king, poisoning the king, this time you must let your father and son taste the blood!
Barron walked forward with a fierce face......
The tiny city of Wenniutetu is now a powder keg that could explode at any moment.
The Qing Dynasty's Prince Su Haoge personally led an army of 80,000 to surround the Tucheng, and the surrounding areas of the Tucheng were all the camps of the Qing army.
The city is ready for battle. The lord of the city, Bayanbushar, with more than 4,000 men and horses, held the city day and night. More than 30,000 people of Niute fully supported their city lord and soldiers, bringing them water, food, clothing and clothing.
The reason why their tens of thousands of hearts are so united is, of course, related to the prestige of the city lord Bayan Bushaer, outside the city, the Qing army pressed the border, and the city lord mobilized the whole people to defend the city and tide over the difficulties together.
There is another factor, and that is Lin Yi's influence. Princess Zhezhe followed Lin Yi, Weng Niute also formed an alliance with Daming, with Daming and Lin Yi as backers, these tens of thousands of urn Niute people have the backbone and hope of survival in their hearts, at least they are not isolated, close their eyes and wait for death, there is a Ming Dynasty that is still strong but weak although it is broken and declining as a backing, and the brave and invincible Lin Yi is a coquettish guest of their clan, and he must not sit idly by.
But after coming up for more than ten days, I didn't see a single soldier sent by the Ming Dynasty, nor did I see Lin Yi's shadow, and the people who broke into the camp to move troops for help didn't come back.
Now the hearts of the Weng Niute people are bottomless.
The city lord Bayan Bushar only cheered up everyone, but he was also anxious in his heart, and muttered, didn't he form an alliance with Daming? Why didn't Emperor Chongzhen send rescuers? Why are Lin Yi and Zhezhe still missing? Supposedly it should have come a long time ago, could there be something wrong......
It is impossible to send people out to investigate, Bayan Bushar knows that his thousands of men and horses, if they really fight, they will not be able to deal with Hauge's army of 80,000 at all, if Hauge wants to forcibly attack the city, the city will have already been broken, and they will definitely slaughter the city by then.
Bayan Bushar looked forward to the rescue soldiers, and after more than ten days, the old man didn't think about tea and dinner, couldn't sleep at night, and lost more than ten pounds. These days, when no one is around, all they mutter is such a sentence: "Lin Yi, girl, if you don't come again, we won't see each other......"
However, in the past few days, the old man has been anxious and has some doubts. 80,000 Qing soldiers besieged but did not attack, why is this? They didn't say that they would go out of the city and surrender, nor would they come to attack the city, what were they waiting for? Do you want to stay trapped like this until the city runs out of ammunition and food, and dies without a fight? This is not the style of Huang Taiji and their father and son!
At this moment, someone reported to him: "Lord Wang, a military horse has come from the southwest."
Bayanbushar was overjoyed, and his heart was like opening two doors, and like a hungry man seeing bread, and the desert man ushered in an oasis, his two eyes immediately gave off a light of great excitement.
The rescuers finally came, it must have been Aunt Lin and Zhezhe, but how could they come from the southwest, should they come from the south?
Bayanbushar was a little puzzled, and led people to the top of the city to see what was going on.
Under the guidance of the general, on the periphery of the Haoge men's and horses' company camp, I saw that the dust was rising from the southwest, and a team was rolling in, and soon the banner was clear, it was the Mongolian cavalry, and it was still the banner of the Qing army, and there was the word Chahar.
Bayanbushal's eyes were black and he almost fell from the city, but his men hurriedly held him up.
"Lord be careful! Is the prince okay......"
It took a long time for Bayan Bushaar to stabilize his mind and cheer up, this is really worse, God will not bless me Urn Niute!
The city lord Bayan Bushar almost cried, and looked carefully, there were not many people and horses coming, Bayan Bushar could see at a glance from experience that there were about 2,000 people, all of them were iron horses, and they had already driven to the vicinity of the Qing army's western camp, and were stopped by the Qing army patrolling the camp......
Haoge's patience is really not small, the small Wengniute City, he has been trapped for more than ten days without attacking the city. In this dirty city, which is not too high, not to mention the 80,000 army, he personally led the 8,000 elite of the Eight Banners, and it didn't take a few charges to take it down, not even a cannon.
However, he never did this, and the 80,000-strong army was always outside the city, just staring at it like this, and these Eight Banner Army, whether it was Manchurian or Mongol, was about to lose their temper.
Another 80,000 horses, how much does it cost people to eat and feed horses every day? At the end of a day, that's an astronomical amount, let alone ten days and a half months.
But Haoge didn't care at all, he was worthy of being the Prince Su of the Qing Dynasty, the future prince of the Qing Kingdom (at least many people think so), he was rich and wealthy, and in order to achieve an end, he could do whatever it took to achieve it, at all costs.
His soldiers and generals were also ready to attack the city, but without the order of the prince, no one dared to move, and they were consumed all day long.
Of course, the most anxious is Hu Che, he is also a Weng Niute, his eldest brother is still the deputy city lord of Weng Niute, but now he has become the vanguard of the slaughter of the Weng Niute, he wants to kill the city lord Bayanbushar family to avenge his dead relatives. But now, like Hauge, he is also waiting for Lin Yi, because he hates Lin Yi even more.
Originally, their grandfathers were also among the best in Onniut, except for the city lord Bayanbushal, who was their brother. With great power in his hands, there are great signs of replacing Bayanbushar in control of the whole of Onniut.
It was because of Lin Yi's appearance that all this made them come to naught. The city lord actually called to give his daughter to this Nanban, and promised to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. Of course, they can't agree, only by force.
As a result, they didn't expect that the eight of them, all of them were five big and three thick, they were fat thieves, powerful in self-control, and strong in martial arts, they were not Lin Yi's opponents, and Lin Yi killed several of his relatives with his own hands in that battle, if he hadn't run fast, he would have become a ghost of the knife.
Every time he thinks of this, he grits his teeth, the sea of blood is deep, he doesn't share the sky, he doesn't kill the enemy himself, he is in vain!
In order to seek revenge, he traveled thousands of miles to Shengjing Huang Taiji to tell his grievances, and finally moved the emperor's eldest son Haoge, and even commanded an army of 80,000 people to come here to destroy Bayan Bushar and others, and then find Lin Yi to settle accounts. But after so many days, he is still him, Bayanbushhar's family is still Bayanposhar's family, and the city of Onniut is still safe, and everything is the same.
He finally couldn't hold it anymore, and came to Hauge again, and when he saw him, he knelt on the ground, first calling himself a slave and then talking. He said that Lin Yi didn't dare to come, so it was better to attack and destroy Weng Niute Tucheng first, and then lead the army to kill the Great Wall, and find Lin Yi's kid to settle accounts.
In fact, Haoge was more anxious than him in his heart, but after all, he was the commander of the three armies and the prince of the Qing Dynasty, or the eldest son of the emperor? Be steady, of course.
"What's the panic, the surname Lin will definitely come, maybe he is doing some kind of conspiracy."
"Oh, my lord, what kind of conspiracy can he do? Our distant and close probes have been released, so far we have not seen a single soldier of the Ming Dynasty, according to the slave's opinion, the boy surnamed Lin must have been frightened by the prestige of the prince, I heard that the prince personally conscripted, and brought 80,000 troops, how dare he come? β
As he was talking, someone came to report: "Report to the prince, a team of Jin merchants has come to the south, more than 100 miles away from here."
"Jin Shang?" Haoge sounded a little strange, since the last time the business road of the Longmen Inn was robbed, the Jin merchants have obviously been very thin, and they will not come for a year and a half. His father, Emperor Taiji, was greatly annoyed by this and took a lot of measures. Now this Jin merchant is here again, but why are you coming here? They should go in the direction of Shengjing, right? Or maybe it's a detour to leave them alone.
As soon as the reporter left, another Pegasus came over, turned over and dismounted, and came to the military tent, where the Qing Dynasty bowed.
"Report to the prince, a group of men and horses came to the southwest, and it was when we were in the Qing Dynasty, and I didn't see it until I got closer, it was the deputy capital commander Balun with his Chahar soldiers and 2,000 iron horses, and was stopped by our Gushan Ezhen Lord, please make a decision."
"Barron's Whal General?" Hauge looked fierce.
Now that Hauge mentions the name Barron, he doesn't get angry. He sealed the order of his father this time, and every tribe in Mongolia responded positively, and sent troops and food one after another. This is clearly contempt for this king and dissatisfaction with our Qing Dynasty.
Have you forgotten how your father died? Isn't your brother Ezhe more capable than you? The result? It's not that you have to sacrifice the jade seal and bring a few of your mothers to surrender obediently, and your mothers and relatives still have to sleep with our father and son, why is it bad for their brothers to be the kings of the Qing Dynasty? But you have to die!
Haoge had already made up his mind to pay attention, and this time he had cleaned up Lin Yi and Weng Niute, and planned to return to the army to completely eradicate them.
Now that he has sent troops again, he has personally brought 2,000 cavalry, obviously afraid. Come to please the king, it's really a butt back, and you have a shameless face, do you think this king can spare you? It's too naΓ―ve, since you have offended this king, there will be no good fruit to eat, and this king will settle accounts for you after this matter is over!
Thinking of this, Hauge immediately sent an edict to Barron's 2,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed in the west, and to be dispatched by one of his subordinates.
Early the next morning, Haoge suddenly received a report that the Jin merchants were gone, and 40 miles south of them, there was a large camp of the Ming army.
