"Thirty or forty thousand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Han Wantao muttered, "plus our independent division should have forty or fifty thousand." ”

"Not so much." Xu Lang said with a smile, "The independent division can't all go to Xuanfu Town. ”

"Xu Lang, what do you want to do?" Han Wantao asked, "Do we still have to divide our troops?" ”

"That's what I thought, come and see." Xu Lang walked to the map, "Our fundamental purpose is to ambush the Tartars in Zhenning Fort. In the past, it usually took a few months for the Tartars to break through, but this time it is estimated that it will not be too long, two months at most. Because as long as Tao Min conquered the city of Guihua and controlled Mongolia, Azig would definitely withdraw his troops. However, our heavy artillery regiment is too slow, and we must prepare in advance. Zhou Lei and Wang Qianxiang took their 2 infantry regiments to Xuanfu Town to stand by; Yulinbao left a battalion; There was no need to wait for news from the scouts, and the remaining three infantry regiments, heavy artillery regiments, and cavalry regiments set off for Huai'anwei, where they tried to avoid the Tartars and set up an ambush at Zhenning Fort. ”

"And." Xu Lang took his finger away from the map, "I guess the imperial court has also received news now, and Beiming may bring the Shenji Battalion and the Quick Gun Team to Datong together." In this way, our strength will reach 20,000, and although this ambush battle cannot completely destroy 70,000 and 8 banners, it will definitely inflict heavy losses on them. ”

"Well, do you have any opinions?" Han Wantao asked the rest of the people.

Lin Zhaolong and the others looked at each other: "We have no opinion, this arrangement should be the best." ”

"Okay, I'll order." Han Wantao became serious, "Zhou Lei and Wang Qianxiang led the second and third infantry regiments to Xuanfu Town; He Chaoyong led the first battalion of the First Battalion to stay in Yulinbao; Lin Zhaolong led the 1st, 4th, and 5th Infantry Regiments, Cavalry Regiments, and Heavy Artillery Regiments to Huai'anwei. The various departments maintain cavalry contact, once a day, and there is no mistake. ”

"Yes, sir."

After answering, Lin Zhaolong asked, "Wan Tao, where are you and Xu Lang going?" ”

"Let's go to Xuanfu Town, and all the news will be gathered in Xuanfu Town."

The 50,000 Eight Banners were encamped less than 30 miles from the Naturalization City, and Dolgon walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, and there was only one dressed man in the big tent.

Dolgon came to the side of this man and whispered, "Sir, we are less than 30 miles away from the Naturalization City, will we attack the city directly tomorrow?" ”

Tao Min turned around and smiled slightly: "Lord Belle, the Naturalization City is not in a hurry, the population of the small Naturalization City is less than 20,000, and it is not more than half of my Dajin Warriors." Tomorrow, Lord Belle will do what the slave said, and Omubu will naturally open the city and surrender. It's just that there is one more thing, and Lord Belle should also be concerned. ”

"I don't know what Mr. said?"

"Ezhe of the Chahar Department, he has a jade seal in his hand. If Lord Belle can bring the jade seal into the Great Khan, it will be my first achievement. ”

Dolgon bowed deeply: "It's all up to you, sir." ”

The next day, 50,000 and 8 banners surrounded the city of naturalization, and Dolgon, surrounded by guards, came to the city on horseback: "Benbel is Dolgon, the great golden country, please answer your Omubu." ”

The figure of Omubu appeared at the head of the city: "Lord Belle, such a large number of soldiers are pressing the border, but do you want to destroy my Tumut Department?" ”

"Hahahaha." Dolgon laughed and arched his hand towards the city and said, "The prince is too worried, we only fight against the Ming Dynasty, and we will never be the enemy of the prince." As long as the prince opens the city gates, Ben Belle guarantees that Qiu will not commit any crimes. ”

Omubu's heart hesitated, he rebelled, and fell back to the Ming Dynasty, will Dorgon let him go. But according to the information he received, Dajin did not commit any crimes along the way on this expedition to Mongolia. Moreover, the population of the entire Naturalization City is less than 20,000, and the Eight Banners under the city are at least more than 50,000.

Seeing that Omubu had not spoken, Dolgon smiled again: "Does the prince doubt Benbele's sincerity? ”

"Definitely." Omubu replied, "It's just that this king had no choice but to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and Lord Belle really won't pursue it anymore?" ”

"Of course." Dolgon rushed to the city wall and said, "The Great Khan has a will, as long as the prince is attached to the Great Khan, the previous affairs will be written off." ”

"Someone." Dolgon gave the order, and the people behind him led a war horse. Dorgon jumped off his horse, drew his dagger, and stabbed him in the neck.

The horse fell to the ground with a wail, and Dolgon wiped his finger with the horse's blood on his lips: "I am willing to make an alliance with the prince with blood, and I will never rebel." ”

"Thank you, Lord Belle." Omubu shouted: "Open the city gates, and the Tumut tribe will be attached to Dajin." ”

The independent division prepared for a few more days, Lin Zhaolong set off first with his people, and Han Wantao, Xu Lang and others were also ready to stop and open Xuanfu Town.

At this time, Zhang Hai came to Yulin Castle quickly.

"Why are there only two regiments left in Yulin Fort, what about the others?" Han Wantao and they hadn't spoken yet, Zhang Hai asked first.

"You don't care about the other people yet, why are you here?" Han Wantao asked, "Is there any movement in Beijing?" ”

"Beijing is relatively normal. Chongzhen received Wang Pu's urgent document, gathered about 50,000 horses, led by Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, and had already set off for Datong, and Beiming also came with the Shenji battalion and the fast gun team. ”

"Then why are you going to come alone?" Xu Lang asked, "Wouldn't it be enough to send a herald?" ”

"I can't do it if I don't come." Zhang Hai took out a letter from his clothes, "We received another letter from Tao Gong, Beiming and I are completely confused now, so let's let you come up with ideas." ”

"What Tao Gong said will make you completely confused." Han Wantao took the letter and looked at it with Xu Lang.

Tao Gong did not hide in the letter that the real purpose of the Eight Banners entering the customs this time. Tao Min was imprisoned by Huang Taiji, and was forced to give Huang Taiji this idea of feint to attack the Ming Dynasty and take Mongolia. However, Tao Min's real intention was to control Mongolia by himself, and to train a Mongol army and the new Korean army to flank Huang Taiji left and right. In order to deceive Huang Taiji and do enough tricks, Tao Min asked Yulin Bay to raise his noble hand on the entry of the Eight Banners this time, and not to clash with the Eight Banners face to face. Because this idea was Tao Min's idea, once the loss of the 70,000 Eight Banners was too great, and Huang Taiji became angry with Tao Min, then the entire plan to flank Huang Taiji would be completely frustrated.

Han Wantao didn't speak after reading the letter, and looked at Xu Lang with Zhang Hai.

"Xu Lang, do you think this letter is real or fake?" Zhang Hai asked, "We people in Beijing have been thinking about it for several days and haven't figured out what Tao Min wants to do. ”

"It's really 'true when it's true.'" Xu Lang smiled bitterly, "Is there a truth in Tao Min's mouth?" ”
