Nanyuan is commonly known as Nanhaizi, is a wetland with a wide water, located in the Yongding River more than 20 miles south of the capital of Daming, because the Yongding River has been diverted here many times, the river water, rainwater and spring water have gathered for many years, forming a very large water surface, and because it is in the south of the capital, it is called Nanhaizi.

The land here is soft, the springs are dense, the trees are lush, the grass is green, the birds and beasts, the herds, the fish, shrimp, turtles and crabs are caught for a long time, and it is a rare hunting place.

From the beginning of the Song and Liao periods, it became the royal hunting ground here, the Liao, Jin, Yuan dynasties all built a lot of construction here, built the royal garden, to the Ming Dynasty Chengzu Yongle years is to expand the original hunting ground more than ten times, after the Ming Xuanzong Xuande years also built a wall about 120 miles long, the whole Nanhaizi was enclosed.

Huang Taiji was ineffective in engaging with Yuan Chonghuan, so he withdrew the army to Nanyuan, while recuperating, grazing horses, and sending people to take turns to provoke, and on the other hand, he also planned a wonderful counter-plot.

In fact, he knew quite well that if he failed to take the Daming capital in one go, he would have no chance in the future.

But he just won't go.

He wants to force Chongzhen to order the soldiers and horses to be the king of all places, he wants to make all the Ming troops exhausted, he wants to waste Chongzhen's silver, and consume the national strength of the Ming Dynasty.

More importantly, he wanted to design to kill Yuan Chonghuan to avenge the two defeats in Liaodong, and at the same time let the Ming Dynasty destroy the Great Wall and shoot himself in the foot!

This kind of thing, Daming has done a lot, like the Battle of Salhu, if it wasn't for Daming's appointment of Yang Hao, the general of the rice bucket, how could they have fought more than 200,000 Liaodong Army; Like the Battle of Shenyang, if it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's withdrawal of Xiong Tingbi from Liaodong, how could they occupy eighty percent of Liaodong's land within three months.

He believes that this time, Da Ming will also let him get his wish and help him get rid of Yuan Chonghuan, the thorn in his side.

Sure enough, on December 1, just three days after he went out of his counter-plot, news came from the capital of Daming that Chongzhen had arrested Yuan Chonghuan, and Zu Dashou led Guan Ning Tieqi to run away!

Huang Taiji almost jumped up unhappily, and the next day, he sent Mang Gurtai again, and asked him to lead the 15,000 elites of the Zhenglan Banner and the Blue Banner to scold the formation, and by the way, he pit Yuan Chonghuan again.

However, this time, he was afraid that he would suffer a big loss, because Zhang Bin came.

After Zhang Bin landed in Dagu, on the first day, he led a large army to rush for a day, galloped for more than 160 miles, and set up camp less than 40 miles south of the capital.

Early the next morning, he set off from the camp, slowly approached the capital, and sent the elite of the special combat battalion to spy in the direction of the capital.

It was Zhang Pan and his team who carried out the spy mission, forty miles away, and the normal horse speed could be reached in half an hour, Zhang Pan was not in a hurry, he directly scattered his men within a mile, and searched in the direction of the capital with slow steps.

At first, it was nothing, the eyes were full of desolate fields and villages, and not even a figure could be seen, but as he ran, several knights suddenly appeared in front of him, and when he looked at the costume, it was obviously a post-gold iron horseman!

Both sides were stunned, and then each gave a signal, and soon, the rangers on both sides gathered, and the other side was also a group of people, but there were only ten horses.

When scouts meet with each other, they usually don't stop dying, because neither wants the other to spy on the information.

Almost at the same moment, both sides did not hesitate to urge the war horses to hedge.

Zhang Pan's face was cold and expressionless, but the captain of the other party was smiling, looking at them as if he was a lamb slaughtered.

Don't blame him for being so careless, he may think that this is a scout of an ordinary Ming army, in his eyes, an ordinary Ming army is as simple as killing a chicken.

Both sides used knives, however, the Houjin Tieqi used a waist knife, while the special operations battalion was equipped with a Qi family knife, at least medium-sized, and the one Zhang Pan held in his hand was a long knife of five or six feet.

Hitting the horse to hedge, the speed is simply like lightning, the two sides quickly encountered, the Houjin cavalry is a variety of moves, there are sour, there are down, there are left chop, there are right chop, there are all kinds of tricks, but there is only one move on the side of the special operations battalion, that is, the knife is stretched to the right, and then swept to the left, because the knife speed is the fastest.

The two sides staggered, and everyone at the head of the special operations battalion quickly turned around, but the Houjin cavalry did not look back, and rushed straight forward!

It's not that they don't want to look back, it's that they can't.

"Pap", "Pap", "Pap", the Houjin cavalry fell off the horse one by one, the squad leader covered his stomach, looked back in despair, and then planted his horse, such a fast knife, these are by no means ordinary Ming troops!

Zhang Pan coldly watched the last Houjin cavalry fall off his horse, and then ordered: "Hanzi, go and get the head, and the others will come with me." ”

With that, he turned the horse's head, patted the horse's buttocks, and searched cautiously forward.

Soon, they saw the city wall in the capital from a distance, and the enemy should be near here, Zhang Pan looked left and right, and then pointed to a small hill not far away and said, "Go over there." ”

Soon, they came to the foot of the hill, and Zhang Pan directly dropped a sentence: "You are all watching here." ”

Then he turned over and dismounted, and climbed to the top of the mountain as fast as he could.

Soon he was near the top of the hill, and he quickly threw himself on the ground, then swished to the edge of the top, and carefully stuck his head out to look down.

Sure enough, not far ahead, there was a large area of black pressure on the Houjin cavalry!

He took out his binoculars and took a closer look, about five miles away from the city, there were tens of thousands of Jin Tieqi who were lining up in a neat phalanx in the direction of the city wall, and he didn't know what he was doing, and on the other side of the city wall, there was a dense camp tent, about twenty or thirty thousand people camped under the city wall, and they also stood motionless in front of the camp in a neat formation.

The atmosphere was quite weird, Zhang Pan took out the map and carefully checked the buildings near the city wall, and soon determined that this was Yongding Gate.

Zhang Pan carefully glanced around, and after making sure that there were no other enemy troops nearby, he climbed away from the edge of the mountain, then stood up with his waist bent and ran quickly down the mountain.

At this time, Mang Gurtai was holding a wine bag, drinking mare's milk wine while mocking loudly at the Ming army opposite: "What about your eggs, have you cut them, don't clamp them, even if they don't fall off, you are also cowards without eggs." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the tens of thousands of queens behind him, Jin Tieqi, laughed out loud.

After a while, the laughter gradually stopped, and Mang Gurtai mocked loudly again: "Yuan Chonghuan, let him come out to fight me, why are you hiding, and you are not a delicate little girl, when I haven't seen it, how to drop." ”

"Hahahahaha." There was another burst of laughter.

After a pause, Mang Gurtai mocked loudly again: "What are you hiding under the city wall, you are afraid, you are afraid to shrink your mother's crotch, it is safer there!" ”

"Hahahahaha." Another burst of laughter.

Mang Gurtai was having a good time here, and three or four miles behind him, Zhang Bin had already commanded the Qi family army to rush over.

He found an open space behind the hill that Zhang Pan had explored not long ago, and asked all the Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicles and Tiger Squat Artillery Carriages to loosen the war horses and gather them in the back, and ordered Qi Yuanfu to lead four hundred teams of Qi family soldiers to line up in four long mandarin duck formations on the main road, and then ordered the car array and artillery array to follow closely behind on the main road.

When everything was ready, he ordered the heralds to go to Qi Yuangong, Qi Yuanfu, Qi Yuanbi, Qi Xianzong, and Qi Zhenzong one by one to convey the specific tactics, and then raised his hand and shouted: "Rush out and set up the formation." ”

"Rush", the four hundred groups of mandarin duck formations in front quickly rushed out from behind the hill, rushed to a flat land two miles away to the right of the Jin Tie Cavalry, and quickly set up a formation, and the Wuhan Iron and Steel car and the tiger squat artillery car then rushed out, and they quickly set up a formation behind the mandarin duck array.

Soon, the Wuhan Iron and Steel cars were lined up in a square box, like a small city, and the four hundred tiger squat gun cars were lined up in four neat rows in the box.

At this time, the pot exploded inside and outside the city walls.

The Ming soldiers on the city wall were already dancing happily, it was reinforcements, it was reinforcements, they stood on it and saw it most clearly, although it was too far away to see what weapons these reinforcements were carrying, but they could see the formation quite clearly.

What a neat formation, the front steps are staggered, and the back car formation is boxy, it's too neat, it's so neat, it's so neat, it's definitely elite!

The Ming army under the city wall cheered excitedly, although they couldn't see the formation of the reinforcements very clearly, but they could see the weapons in front of them, because the Qi family army was really on the right side of the Jin Tie Cavalry, and the edge was less than five miles away from the city wall, and the Ming army soldiers under the city wall, the front row was almost more than three miles away from the city wall, so close to the distance, they could naturally see clearly the wolf made of bamboo, it was the Qi family army, and it was the strongest Qi family army in the Ming Dynasty!

Mang Gurtai is also happy at this time, no matter how the Ming army under the city wall scolds, he can't leave the range of artillery, he can't attack, he is depressed, but a bunch of Ming soldiers suddenly appeared on the left, look like that, at most 10,000 people, don't you come to deliver food!

So, he hurriedly ordered his cavalry to start changing formations, facing the formation on the right, he wanted to kill this reinforcement in front of tens of thousands of Ming troops up and down the city wall!

At this time, inside the Yongding Gate, on the Zhengyangmen Street of the Altar of Mountains and Rivers and the Temple of Heaven and Earth, a huge team was rushing to the Yongding Gate.

This team is more than a mile long.

At the front of the team were hundreds of captains in brocade clothes, wearing betta suits, carrying embroidered spring knives at their waists, raising their heads and chests one by one, and they were extremely majestic.

Behind the captain of Jinyi, there were hundreds of eunuchs holding various flags, and then there was a dragon chair carried by thirty-two people, and the young Chongzhen was sitting on it with a frown, looking preoccupied.

Behind them, there were hundreds of eunuchs holding various signs, and finally hundreds of captains in brocade clothes.

It's the emperor who is here!

Chongzhen is a diligent emperor, but also a very responsible emperor, Houjin and the towns of the soldiers and horses in the city during the war, he also often went up to the city wall to inspect, originally, Houjin has been stopped for many days, at most send a cavalry to run around the periphery of the city wall, scare and scare people.

However, today, he heard that more than 10,000 Houjin Iron Cavalry gathered outside the Yongding Gate, ready to be deployed, as if they wanted to attack the Ming army stationed under the city.

As soon as he heard the news, he hurried over after the recital.

"The emperor has arrived" spread for a while, and the Ming soldiers on the city wall immediately stopped dancing, quickly pretended to be serious, and stood there straight.

Soon, Chongzhen climbed the gate tower of Yongding Gate, and he walked to the railing and looked down majestically.

The first thing that appeared in his eyes was the upright Beijing camp soldiers, he didn't show any expression, continued to look forward, and soon, the Ming soldiers lined up in front of the city wall appeared in his eyes, his brows were obviously wrinkled, because these Ming army formations were a little chaotic, not regular at all.

However, he didn't say anything, but continued to raise his eyes and look forward, and soon, a dense rear golden iron horse appeared in his eyes, they seemed to be changing formations, what is this for.

The distance was too far to see really, he immediately stretched out his right hand, and Cao Huachun hurriedly respectfully put the telescope in his hand.

He raised the binoculars to see that the Houjin cavalry was all facing to the left, and he couldn't help but hold the binoculars and sweep to the left, and what appeared in his eyes was a bamboo forest.

Are you dazzled, how can there be such a neat bamboo forest in this world, not only are they neatly arranged, but they are also about the same size!

In the middle of the bamboo forest, rows and rows of spears appeared!

He suddenly realized that something was wrong, because he was looking at the Houjin Iron Horse just now, and the height was wrong.

So, he slowly moved the telescope down, and it turned out to be Ming soldiers, standing in rows and neatly.

Row after row, row after row, all neatly organized, and then chariots, artillery, reinforcements came, it turned out to be reinforcements, which way is this King Qin's army, it came so fast!

He shrunk the telescope slightly, and the people became smaller, but he saw more people.

He took a closer look at the lineup of the Ming army, and then looked at the lineup of Houjin Tieqi, and then his face changed, because the Ming army against him was obviously not as many as Houjin Tieqi.

Who is this, so reckless, obviously less than others, or foot, dare to fight against cavalry, isn't this looking for death?

Finally, the army of King Qinqin couldn't let them be wiped out like this, Chongzhen immediately ordered: "Pass on my message, let Hou Shilu prepare for support, no matter what, we can't let this reinforcement be killed by Jiannu." ”

Cao Huachun said yes, and then sent a little eunuch to deliver the order.

Chongzhen handed the telescope to Cao Huachun, and said with a little curiosity: "Companion, take a look, you can see where the reinforcements came from, their weapons are so strange." ”

Of course, Cao Huachun knew where he came from, and yesterday Luo Yangxing told him that Zhang Bin was here.

However, they didn't dare to tell Chongzhen, because Chongzhen didn't let them go out of the city to pick up anyone, if they suddenly told him that Zhang Bin was coming, Chongzhen would definitely be suspicious.

Cao Huachun pretended to pick up the binoculars, looked at them carefully, and then "exclaimed": "Qi Jiajun, it's Zhang Bin, the governor of Fujian!" ”

Chongzhen snatched the binoculars, looked carefully at the Ming army, and asked, "Have you seen Zhang Bin, where is it?" ”

Cao Huachun hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, Weichen didn't see Zhang Bin, but those people with wolf whisks in their hands were the Qi family army specially trained by Zhang Bin, the governor of Fujian, in order to exterminate pirates. ”

Chongzhen has never been on the battlefield, nor has he carefully studied the book of war, he has only heard of the wolf, but he has not seen it, at this time he couldn't help but hold the telescope and said curiously: "It turns out that this is the wolf, it is really made of bamboo!" ”

At this time, Mang Gurtai had already finished adjusting the big array, and he raised his sword without hesitation and shouted: "Kill!" ”
