Hanzi was ready to take Sang Yu to lead the cavalry to open the way to ensure the speed of the infantry's march, and he was not worried about being surrounded by Jiannu's cavalry movement, because he knew his own strength and the combat effectiveness of the Qing soldiers.

If the enemy cavalry wants to succeed in trapping the 5,000 cavalry led by Hanzi, they must have 30,000 horses, and this must be the case that the vast majority of the cavalry of the Eight Banners are strong.

Hanzi temporarily decided to concentrate the cavalry to attack, and the Qing soldiers could not know in advance, how could they have time to concentrate men and horses to arrange the encirclement?

This is an internal line of operations, and the "Red Banner Army" has the three elements of war: the right time, place, and people.

Sentinels, flag guards, and ordinary people are all paying close attention to the dispatch of Qing troops, and the "Red Banner Army" can be described as deaf and clear-sighted, and it is impossible to fall into the enemy's encirclement in a daze.

Besides, even if they are surrounded by Manchurian cavalry, what will they do?

The 30,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners will eat the 5,000 regular soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" who are still more than half of the non-commissioned officers, and it is very likely that they will fight for three days and three nights.

At that time, 20,000 infantry would have already arrived on the battlefield, and Jiannu would probably lose too many men and horses if he didn't choose to retreat and be killed.

Only Ningwu Pass has not been lost in the outer three passes, and there are six or seven thousand men and horses in the hands of the patrol royal historian Wang Zhaokun, the admiral eunuch Wang Xizhong, the chief military officer of Shanxi, and the garrison Xianzhenji.

They also organized thousands of young and middle-aged people to assist in the defense, and the Qing soldiers who refused to fight for consumption chose a detour after trying.

In order to facilitate access and access, the Qing army drove tens of thousands of Han people to demolish the Sanli Great Wall near Yangfang Fort, so that this place is no longer dangerous, and it is completely capable of launching cavalry to carry out group charges.

There are a lot of Ming troops in Ningwu Pass, and the chief military officer who is quite capable of fighting is as fierce as a tiger's men and horses, and the Qing soldiers left 3,000 men and horses to monitor Ningwu Pass after seizing Yangfang Fort, so as to prevent the Ming army from suddenly killing out.

Hanzi led the men and horses to change horses all the way and galloped, and rushed to Ningwu Pass in the afternoon of the same day, it is very important to kill more enemies, Hanzi was really worried that the Qing soldiers in Yangfang Fort had run away, and he urgently contacted the fierce tiger.

Today's Hanzi is the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan with the title of Governor of Zuodu, and he is also the first fierce general under the command of the general of the conquest, and everyone knows the generals of the Ming Dynasty.

He heard that Yang Dalang led the "Red Flag Army" to the outside of the Guancheng, and immediately went out of the customs in person to prepare to have a good drink with the Hanzi outside the Guan.

Huang Han summed up too many lessons and lessons from Jiancheng, Xiongguan being built by slaves, and being rogued.

It is recommended that the military department issue a death order, and the civil and military generals stationed in the pass and the city are not allowed to let a soldier enter the city without seeing the official document of the military department or the emperor's holy decree, and the people who are not registered locally and have neighbors as a guarantee are not allowed to enter.

Therefore, Hanzi did not ask to enter Ningwu Pass at all, and sent people to contact the defenders with the intention of blocking the Yangfang Fort not far away, and striving to block the Qing soldiers inside and encircle and annihilate them.

Under normal circumstances, the Guancheng is completely different from the ordinary city, the Guancheng is to occupy the dangerous place to hold the key points, and it is impossible to complete the encirclement, only breaking through the Guancheng will usher in another vast world.

Therefore, when the "Red Banner Army", which had absolutely superior forces, attacked Yanmen Pass, it did not cause too many casualties, and in the end, more than half of the Qing troops fled.

Now the information from the flag guards indicates that Yangfang Fort has been demolished and the Great Wall connected to it is like a county seat, but there are only two gates, east and west.

After seeing Hanzi, Meng Ruhu found that this general was worthy of his name, and Meng Ruhu was so tall that few people could compare, and he was still one size smaller when he stood with Hanzi.

Hanzi is quick to talk, and he is not polite after meeting Meng Ruhu, he speaks straightforwardly, he tells the truth:

"General Meng, the purpose of this officer's coming here is to recover Yangfang Fort as soon as possible, but in order to destroy the enemy more, we can't let Jiannu and Tartar run away, so this officer will contact before blocking the enemy's escape, if General Meng is willing, please quickly mobilize people and horses to follow."

Fierce as a tiger, he didn't expect that the "Red Flag Army" would go to block the gate of Yangfang Fort that day, and he was ready to block all the 3,000 Qing troops there.

He was puzzled: "The official of Yangfang Fort is familiar, the high walls of the city there are thick and easy to defend and difficult to attack, wouldn't it be better if the Qing army took the initiative to retreat?" The casualties caused by the battle are incalculable! ”

Han Zi said with a smile: "It's okay, the cavalry brought by this officer is only the vanguard force, and I don't plan to take the pass, as long as I ensure that the Qing army can't escape, it will be a victory, and when the infantry arrives tomorrow afternoon, one or two hundred artillery pieces will roar and completely annihilate the enemy." ”

Fierce as a tiger in disbelief, he asked, "Lord Yang, the infantry will be able to rush to Yangfang Fort tomorrow?" And what else can they bring the cannons? How is this possible! ”

Hanzi said: "Our Red Banner Army carries field artillery, as the name suggests, it is designed for convenient transportation and is conducive to field warfare. ”

Fierce as a tiger said: "There is a big drought in Shanxi, if it can be rainy, so many people will not starve to death, and the official road at this time is indeed quite easy to walk." Can Lord Yang really make sure that the infantry and artillery will be in place tomorrow? ”

"Don't worry, the 'Red Banner Army' has training tasks almost every month, and the infantry carrying baggage runs an average of 100 miles a day for half a month, and it is easy to march 200 miles in two days.

Lord Meng, if you don't worry, you can continue to hold on to Ningwu Pass, and you can trust the 'Red Flag Army' to pull people and horses to take a look. ”

'Trustworthy!' The Red Banner Army's prestige and prestige are like thunder, and this officer has admired the general for a long time, and this time he will have the opportunity to cooperate with the 'Red Flag Army' to fight, and this officer will definitely spare no effort. ”

Fierce as a tiger hurriedly rushed back to Guancheng to ask for instructions from the imperial history of the pass and the admiral eunuch, and prepared to personally lead half of the men and horses guarding Ningwu Pass to participate in the battle.

Hanzi did not wait for the reply of the defenders of Ningwu Pass at all, and immediately led his men and horses to gallop to patrol the Yang Fang Fort, where there were only two gates in circumference of more than three miles.

Hanzi's plan was to personally lead half of the cavalry to form a formation three miles outside the east gate, and Sang Yu led half of the men and horses to cross the demolished Great Wall to block the way for the Qing soldiers to flee west.

Hu Dawei had just led more than a dozen family members to leave when he heard the rumbling of horses' hooves, and saw Hanzi hurriedly leading his men and horses to the northwest, he knew that the big war might break out at any time, and he didn't want to miss it, so he hurriedly entered the customs to transfer troops.

The civil officials and eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were more bullish, and Wang Zhaokun and Wang Xizhong were still waiting for the generals of the "Red Banner Army" to come and see, which were all officialdom routines, basically everyone was like this.

Who knew that the "Red Flag Army" never birded these stinky rules, and Hanzi was a pure soldier, and he didn't even ask which civil official in Ningwu Pass was and who the eunuch in the prison was, so he didn't stop for a moment, and directly led his men and horses to kill Benyang Fangbao.
