Yuan Chonghuan led 30,000 Guanning cavalry to rush through the night and rushed to the capital from Shanhaiguan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
On the side of the capital, after the besieging people who were driven away were scattered and defeated, a large number of Jurchen soldiers were put into suppressing the rebellion, and for a time there were dead corpses everywhere, and the ground was full of wreckage.
"Great Khan, will I send troops tomorrow to drive the nearby Ming people to attack the city" Dai Shan rode forward and asked Huang Taiji to instruct the next move.
"No need, in addition to wasting time, Ben Khan can't see any effect" Huang Taiji shook his head, if such a city wants to be defeated, even if all the troops brought by himself are pressed up, it may not work, even if it is defeated, such a loss is not something that he and Dajin can bear. Now that he has surrounded the capital of Emperor Ming, it is nothing in a short time, and in the face of the Ming army coming from all over the country for a long time, although his Eight Banners are not afraid of any field battle, but it is also a trouble. The top priority is to get some benefits that can be obtained.
"Please also ask the Great Khan to make it clear that "Dai Shan is a very cautious person, if he is not sure, he will not do it again, Huang Taiji's orders are not clear, and Dai Shan will not figure out Huang Taiji's orders according to his own ideas, and then carry them out."
"From tomorrow, half of the men and horses will stay in the camp, and the rest of the troops will scatter out, and rob the Ming Emperor near the capital for Ben Khan, whether it is food or treasure, as long as I am all the money I lack, as for the lonely city in front of me, I will leave it to the Ming Emperor's child" When I entered the customs, I never thought that I could defeat the capital of the Ming Emperor, and the main purpose of my entry this time is that many tribes in Dajin can't survive this winter, and they are here to grab money and food. This is his main purpose, and the siege is just to scare that Chongzhen child.
Early the next morning, the Jurchens scattered out, frantically robbing everywhere, in groups near the capital, burning and looting from house to house, ** captivity, everywhere were disheveled Jurchen soldiers, these Jurchens were wrapped in silk and satin, and they were holding all kinds of gold and silver jewelry. And behind them are the people of the Ming Dynasty, who are dead everywhere.
In front of Yuan Chonghuan's army, a probe horse quickly came to report, "Report to the superintendent, twenty miles ahead is the capital, and now the Jurchen army of 100,000 is stationed in Guangqumen"
"Revisit" received an order from Yuan Chonghuan. A large number of probe horses set off again.
"Order, the whole army is speeding up, we must rush to the imperial city tonight" Yuan Chonghuan ordered to the heralds around him, his own horse exploration found the Jurchen camp, and the Jurchen exploration horse may also find its own traces at any time, the army travels, the traces are too obvious, it is impossible to conceal it at all, and it can only be done quickly, and the Jurchens cannot react.
"The superintendent has an order, and the whole army accelerates its advance" "The superintendent has an order, and the whole army accelerates its advance" As the herald informed Yuan Chonghuan's order, the "driving" and "driving" army began to advance at full speed again.
The Imperial Taiji Camp under the city of Beijing
Amin hurriedly ran to Huang Taiji's camp, "Great Khan, Tan Ma Lai, Yuan Chonghuan's men and horses, only 5 miles away from the camp" Hearing Amin's news, Huang Taiji didn't care about resting, and hurriedly got up.
"How many people does Yuan Chonghuan have" Huang Taiji is most worried about Yuan Chonghuan to bring all the people and horses of the entire three customs back, if Yuan Chonghuan blocks the back road, although he is not afraid of him, but it is also very troublesome, and he will return in vain this time.
"There are about 30,000 people, all of them are cavalry, and it seems that they are the elite of the Liaodong Army" Amin himself relayed the information that the scouts had given him to Huang Taiji intact.
"Is there only 30,000 horses? Immediately send someone to recall all the soldiers outside, and now gather all the horses in the camp, we have a good welcome to the Guanning army from afar" The Ming people actually have their own cavalry, this is not good news, if there is a chance, Huang Taiji does not mind scrapping this cavalry.
Under the walls of Beijing City, on one side were Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning cavalry, and on the other side were the Jurchen Eight Banners. The two sides confronted each other under the city, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.
"Overseer, do you want to attack?" An adjutant general beside Yuan Chonghuan asked.
"Isn't the imperial city still good, what to do to attack, now the top priority is for us to let the emperor open the city gate, let us rest in the capital, and then help defend the city is the right way, the Jurchens are extremely good at field warfare, plus now the advantage of troops, rashly marching into the war, I'm afraid it will be very disadvantageous to our army" Now the imperial city is fine, Yuan Chonghuan doesn't want to beat up his family with the Jurchens here.
In the enemy platform of the city wall, Chongzhen saw the banner of Yuan Chonghuan in the army below, and immediately became angry, "Great companion, didn't I give an order to Yuan Chonghuan to take the opportunity to send troops to recover Guangning and garrison Jizhou?" Now how did he run to the capital" Yuan Chonghuan This guy is becoming more and more out of control now, he cut Mao Wenlong before, but because of the situation and Mao Wenlong's is not a thing, he didn't care about him, and now he dares to disrespect the order and make his own opinions, if he dares to spoil my big thing, I will destroy his nine clans.
"Back to the emperor, Liu Yingkun, the superintendent of the army, did send back a message, saying that Yuan Chonghuan had sent troops, but he didn't expect Yuan Chonghuan to bring soldiers and horses to the capital" Wang Chengen was also angry, that Liu Yingkun didn't know what to do, and he dared to let Yuan Chonghuan bring troops into Beijing privately, which is really a headache.
As time passed, the army that Huang Taiji went out to rob began to be recalled one after another, and a pair of people and horses continued to join the queue around Huang Taiji, and the form became more and more unfavorable to Yuan Chonghuan.
"Adjutant, order the whole army to prepare to retreat in the direction of the city wall" As long as you are close to the city wall, with the support of the cannons and bows and arrows of the defenders on the city wall, your own people will have the strength to fight with the Huang Taiji army, otherwise you will be a little bit of a person, and you will fight in the field with the Jurchens who are several times your own, and I really don't know how you will die at that time.
