Chapter 661: Striking the West and Attacking the East
In order to create the effect of Wangmei quenching thirst, Huang Han encouraged the defenders to grit their teeth and stay up for ten days and half a month.
Ordered Liu Zaiqi and Huang Sifang to spread the word as widely as possible that the 100,000 "Red Banner Army" was coming.
There is another purpose of doing this, to save the "Red Banner Army" from going all over the world to find the main force of the Qing army for a decisive battle, and simply have a good battle with the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry near Shuozhou City.
Soon, the news that the "Red Banner Army" of 100,000 horses intended to attack Shuozhou City reached the ears of the Red Gangster, and at this time he was preparing to give up the attack on Kaifeng and continue to plunder and kill into Shandong or Nanzhili.
The slave chief will be suspicious, when Huang Han's gang is going to attack somewhere will be known in advance? Is there a conspiracy here?
At this time, Jiannu and Tatar did not suffer defeat, and their self-confidence was infinite, and Emperor Chongde still talked and laughed with a look of being a bamboo in his chest.
He believed that under the circumstance that he had already deployed a countermeasure, with the combat strength and mobility of the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry, he did not worry at all about being attacked by the "Red Banner Army" and suffering heavy losses again.
Now that Huang Han is here, let's fight with the Eight Banners!
In the Qing army, the military drums sounded like thunder, and Emperor Chongde gathered to discuss civil and military affairs.
At this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was on the rise, and the military orders were completely done, the soldiers were neat, and after a drum sound, the vast majority of Manchu and Mongolian generals galloped to the horse, and the civil and military generals had already completed the assembly after the end of the three drums.
The red guy looked at the generals of the Eight Banners who were so happy because of entering the customs that they were so happy that they ate a lot of meat and drank good wine every day, and said:
"I drove my own expedition to the Ming Dynasty for half a year, invincible and invincible, took thirty or forty Ming cities and captured countless counts, and no Ming army dared to fight with my Qing army.
Now that there is a report from the probe, Huang Han's house finally couldn't sit still, and actually personally led the troops to Shanxi, and pointed out in a high-profile manner that he was preparing to seize the base camp of our Qing army and Shuozhou City, the main material hoarding place.
I've been waiting for that guy to make a move for a long time! This time, the 'Red Flag Army' will definitely be given a severe blow to comfort the souls of the Eight Banners who have been killed by Huang Han's sneak attack in the past few years. ”
The second-class veteran Shumulu Yanguli is one of the starting horses who followed the old slave Nurhachi, and is also the son-in-law of the old slave.
At this time, he said proudly: "It's a good time!" Your Majesty, the elite under the command of the minister are looking forward to seizing the opportunity to beat the 'Red Flag Army', and the minister suggests that our army immediately move westward and meet Huang Han's army as soon as possible. ”
Anping Beledudu did not suffer the loss of the "Red Banner Army", and shouted:
"Since Your Majesty succeeded to the throne, my Great Qing Kingdom has reached its peak, and the army is strong and strong, and the minister still wants to lead the people and horses to take the initiative to find the Huang Han decisive battle, at this time, how can he rush to Shanxi to let him go again? The minister is willing to be the vanguard of the army! ”
Gualja Turai is the commander of the Bayala Lama Zhangjing, that is, the commander of the Bayala battalion, and his strength and courage should not be underestimated.
He was puzzled: "Your Majesty, the Ming Kingdom Huang Han has always wanted to cover up with soldiers, and at this time, the news that the 'Red Flag Army' is going to attack Shuozhou has spread one after another, I'm afraid there is fraud in it!" ”
Chongde asked: "Since Aiqing thinks there is fraud in it, then what does Aiqing think Huang Han's intentions are?" ”
Turai said: "Isn't it a sound from the west to the east? At this time, the 'Red Flag Army' made a high-profile announcement that it had entered Shanxi to participate in the war, but it was actually preparing to raid Jinzhou? ”
Chongde shook his head and said: "At this time, there is no point in playing such a conspiracy and trickery, Huang Han's gang is not an ordinary person, and the people and horses used to be suspicious soldiers must also fight with real swords and guns, otherwise they will be exposed as soon as they come into contact with my Qing army." ”
Thurai scratched his head and wondered: "Why is Huang Han's guy abnormal? Is it true that if you enter Shanxi to attack Shuozhou, you are not afraid that our Qing army will concentrate its forces and annihilate the 'Red Flag Army' in one fell swoop? ”
Yanguli laughed and said: "This is understandable, my Qing army captured dozens of cities and counties in Mingguo, and the emperor of Ming was frightened, so why not force Huang Han to fight hard?" ”
Du Du affirmed: "The Ming army has the responsibility to defend the territory, and the 'Red Flag Army' is no exception, my Qing army has reached Henan, if the Ming State is still so vulnerable, the next step will be to go north to the land of Gyeonggi or to the east to Shandong."
At that time, the fortune of the Ming Kingdom will be cut off, and it is strange that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom and the civil and military generals are not in a hurry at this time! ”
Yanguli said with some regret: "This time my Qing army has achieved unprecedented results, maybe we can fight all the way to Nanzhili to take a look at the splendid Jiangnan, at this critical moment it is Huang Han's gang that jumped out to block us, it is really hateful, our army must not let him go again this time!" ”
Fan Wencheng saw that the nobles of the Eight Banners were all simple-minded goods with developed limbs, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Huang Han's attack on Shuozhou City is both true and false, not a sound attack on the west. ”
This judgment is maverick, Chongde asked: "Why did Aiqing come to such a conclusion, tell me the reason." ”
"What if my Qing army crosses the Yellow River north and breaks into the land of Gyeonggi in the Ming Kingdom? Can the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom sit still? Wouldn't he put pressure on Huang Han? The minister judged that Huang Han at this time should actually be in a hurry.
He had to resort to the big move of attacking our Qing army, and pointed out that he was going to attack Shuozhou, a material and population hoarding place operated by our Qing army in Shanxi.
More than half of the captured gains accumulated by our army were deposited in Shuozhou, and if they were really taken away by the 'Red Banner Army', wouldn't it be half a year in vain? ”
Chongde nodded and said, "Rao is so, there are too many people and hoarded materials there, once they are taken away and suffer huge losses, it is impossible for me and you civil and military forces to tolerate such a thing." ”
"Therefore, the minister judged that Huang Han would definitely lead the 'Red Banner Army' to attack and advance in the direction of Shuozhou, but he would do what he could, if the battle was fought well, he would really fight for Shuozhou City, and if he was defeated after engaging with my Qing army, he would naturally hide in a certain city and hold on."
"I understand, what Aiqing means is that our army must ignore it, let the 'Red Flag Army' attack in the direction of Shuozhou, and be ready for a decisive battle with Huang Han there!"
Fan Wencheng said: "Your Majesty Shengming, if the main force of my Qing Army can find the main force of the 'Red Flag Army' for a field battle, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will lose this strong army that can fight, and who else in the Ming Kingdom will dare to stop my Qing Army in the future?"
The minister is not worried that our Qing army will not be able to defeat the 'Red Flag Army', but is worried that Huang Han's refusal to fight a decisive battle will not be able to defend like Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, Chen Biqian, and so on. ”
Chongde said: "Rao is like this, my Qing army is invincible in the field, if we can force Huang Han's fight against our army, it would be better."
The 'Red Banner Army' is to fight against our Qing Dynasty and go to Shanxi, so it needs to fight a few dignified battles to make sense, and it will definitely not be completely cowering in the city for passive defense. ”
The generals and traitors all flattered together: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”
