Chapter XVIII

In October of the second year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji led an army of more than 100,000 people, avoiding Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and divided his troops into the pass from Longjing Pass, Hongshankou and Da'ankou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info For a while, the real Ming Dynasty was surging, but what Huang Taiji didn't know was that his daily military dynamics would be transmitted to Chongzhen's dragon case by telegram on the same day.

Chongzhen's imperial study

A huge map of the Daming sand table, which Chongzhen asked the skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to build for more than three months. It's just that the Great Wall, the first line of defense that now symbolizes the border of the Ming Empire, has appeared several gaps on the map, among which the small flag representing the Huang Taiji army has been placed under Zunhua City from the three gaps in the Great Wall.

"Sun Aiqing, there is nothing wrong with Zhu Guoyan, the chief soldier of Zunhua" Since the Jurchens entered the customs, Chongzhen ordered Sun Chuanting Lu Xiangsheng to stay in the side room and listen to the attendants to convey the emperor's will at any time.

"Your Majesty, news came from the Zunhua City Espionage Division, the chief soldier Zhu Guoyan had hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in Zunhua City in accordance with the emperor's intention before February, and now the grain and grass in Zunhua City are sufficient, the chief soldier Zhu Guoyan is defending the city wall, Huang Taiji will not be able to beat Zunhua City in a short time, this time the Jurchens entered the customs in a hurry, Huang Taiji only brought ten days of military rations, and the minister estimated that Huang Taiji would go around the city, once Huang Taiji spent too much time in Zunhua, it would give me time for the Ming to reflect, and the Jurchen raid effect was gone, Of course, if Huang Taiji is willing to give up his Eight Banner soldiers, regardless of casualties, it is possible to use the method of ant-attached siege to attack the city in a short time, but Zunhua is only defeated, and there are still a few cities behind, and Huang Taiji cannot fight all the way like this. The huge losses caused by the siege were something that Huang Taiji was unwilling to face," Sun Chuanting stepped forward and returned.

"Very good, in that case, all the 40,000 cavalry of the new army will be under the command of Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Aiqing, you will immediately go out of the city and act according to the plan, if anyone obstructs your actions, I will allow you to cut first and then play" Chongzhen's dragon case has 2 Shang Fang swords, and now one of the Shang Fang swords has been handed over to Lu Xiangsheng by Chongzhen.

"Sun Chuanting, now the 20W soldiers and horses of the new army and the 10W men and horses of the Beijing camp are under your control, I also give you the right to cut first and then play, Aiqing From now on, I will hand over my entire BJ City and my safety to you" After speaking, Chongzhen picked up another Shangfang sword on the dragon case and gave it to Sun Chuanting, for these leading generals who regard integrity as higher than life and are willing to die for the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen will never be stingy with the power in his hands.

"The ministers will receive the order and will live up to the emperor's trust" Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng took Shang Fang's sword, and after saluting, they turned around and went out to perform their tasks under Chongzhen's signal.

"Companion, notify the Espionage Division to send a message, order the city guards everywhere, close the city gates, and not go out of the city to fight without an order" I have opened the gate to the capital for you, Huang Taiji, I am waiting for you here.

Under the city of Zunhua, the Huang Taiji military camp.

"Dahan, this Zunhua City defender, refuse to open the door to fight, I will wait for tomorrow whether to forcibly attack the city" Mang Gurtai is very angry about the current Zunhua City defenders, who will not die in battle, no matter how he calls under the city during the day, that damn Zunhua general soldier just does not show his head, he is close to the city wall and let people shoot him with bows and arrows, thinking that he Mang Gurtai is the four great Baylors, when did he receive such a bird spirit.

"Don't be impatient, what are you doing in such a hurry to attack the city, bypass Zunhua tomorrow, and continue to march" Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at the reckless Mang Gurtai, and had a headache, this guy has always been very obedient, and now he has jumped out again, so many Baylor princes under his own hands, and Dolgon is still reliable, and the others are mostly brave and unscrupulous, and they are useless, when will such Dajin surpass Daming.

"But leaving an enemy city on the way of the retreat of the army, and waiting for the day the army returns, I'm afraid something is wrong," Dai Shan reminded Huang Taiji with some anxiety.

"Each of you is also a perennial leader of the army outside the people, how can this point not be seen through, usually lead the troops to ensure the safety of the back road, mainly to obtain the logistics of food and grass guarantee, now we and other lone army deep into the hinterland of the enemy, is to lay down Zunhua, after the army left, this city, who left how many soldiers and horses to guard, can you hold it, Daming is rich, there are cities everywhere, he Zunhua can block my Dajin soldiers, can other cities be blocked, there are soft persimmons not to grab or pinch, why gnaw Zunhua this hard bone. Ben Khan will go to this Zunhua city now, he Zunhua general army rushed out to pursue, the same reason, when the army returned, his Zunhua soldiers did not go out of the city, it was okay, came out, Ben Khan's Eight Banners let him have no return. "Huang Taiji can see it clearly. Now the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty army is mostly worse than that of the Eight Banners, even if it can gather twice as many troops as the Houjin, it is impossible to compete with its own Eight Banners in the wilderness, and the interception is really unrealistic for the Ming Dynasty.

"It's still the Great Khan's thoughtful thinking, his Ming city has an army relying on the city wall to resist the soldiers of the Eight Banners Cavalry, I don't believe that the villages near the city can also resist the iron hooves of my Eight Banners" Mang Gurtai, this guy has also reacted now, your city is protected by soldiers, then I will rob your village and rob your people, you can only watch from the city wall, what can you do with me. If you are not convinced, you will come out and start a war.

"The Great Khan is now that our army is not carrying much military rations, please lead 5,000 soldiers, go out to get some food and come back" Amin, the big Belle, was originally a brutal guy, and now he heard that he could be robbed by arson, and he immediately came up with interest, so he took the initiative to ask for help.

"Ben Khan agreed, remembering that it is not allowed to take things that affect the speed of the march, and there are no good things in the nearby villages, and when you arrive at the capital of Emperor Ming, there are many good things nearby, and when the time comes, don't take the soldiers and horses of your headquarters" said Here Huang Taiji and a group of Baylor ministers laughed, the Ming people are weak, and what virtue can occupy this great country. These belongings are just the temporary custody of our Dajin by the Ming people, and my Dajin can come and snatch it at any time if necessary.

"The woman of the Ming people is the water spirit, and if you don't want to be a Mongolian woman, there is always a smell of sheep" Amin recalled the woman just now, while wiping his sword, and the blood dripped from the bed in the bedroom to the front of the door in a private house he walked out of, which looked extremely dazzling against the background of several corpses near the door.

After Amin led his army away, he left behind a village with smoke billowing from the fire, and the Jurchens were like demons with their teeth and claws blazing in the light of the surrounding fires.
