Volume 4 Chapter 34 The Great Victory

Huang Taiji is indeed a little crazy, or he is very confident, Zunhua left 800 people to garrison, he thinks it is enough!

Of course, he didn't think that 800 people could withstand the attack of thousands or even tens of thousands of Ming troops, that was impossible.

He believes that the attack of 800 people by thousands of Ming troops can still withstand a few days, no matter what, the Ming army also has to build siege equipment, and also has to organize several waves of attacks to take down the city, and a few days is enough for him.

As for organizing tens of thousands of foot soldiers to attack Zunhua, he thought that the Ming army would not dare, and the movement of a large number of Ming army foot soldiers would definitely not be able to escape his scouts scattered everywhere, and they would be discovered by themselves before they arrived in Zunhua.

Because, he has the Houjin Iron Cavalry and the Mengyuan Cavalry with super mobility, and these more than 100,000 cavalry are the source of his self-confidence.

A small group of Ming troops sneak attacked, and he casually sent a banner of soldiers and horses to rush over and clean it up.

A large force of the Ming army attacked, just catching up with it and annihilating it, and the foot soldiers could not outrun the cavalry no matter how they were.

Of course, if the main force of more than 100,000 or even 20 Ming troops went to attack Zunhua, just like the piece of kraft candy behind, and advanced in a group, then he had no choice but to lead all the troops to Zunhua City and defend the city.

Therefore, he will run south with the main force of the Ming army, and when the main force of the Ming army is exhausted, he will lead the cavalry to the north suddenly and occupy all the cities north of the capital.

When the time comes, the little emperor's expression must be very exciting.

Huang Taiji thought that the Ming army would be led by his nose, but he didn't know that Zhang Bin had already seen through his plan, and Zhang Bin knew that Huang Taiji couldn't run south again, so he didn't rush to Baoding to relieve the siege, and the two sides froze on the front line of Gu'an and Baoding.

Zhang Bin was waiting for news from Zunhua, but Huang Taiji was waiting for Zhang Bin to lead the army to Baoding for reinforcements, and he didn't know that he was calculated by Zhang Bin!

On this day, outside Baoding City, the Houjin Eight Banners station, the Chinese army's big tent, and Huang Taiji were convening all Baylor to discuss.

Dai Shan, Zilharang, Yue Xu, Du Du, Sakhalian, Abatai, Azig, Dolgon, Duoduo, Hauge, looking at these brothers and nephews, Huang Taiji couldn't help but be proud in his heart, there are so many generals in the family who can fight well, why worry about the big thing.

He groaned slightly, and then smiled confidently: "The reason why the main force of the Ming army stopped in Gu'an should be during the New Year's Festival, but I ignored it, this is the most important year of the Ming Dynasty, so leading their noses and running around, they are about to lose their breath, it is really a sin." ”

Obviously, he was joking, and the brothers and nephews below immediately cooperated to laugh at the Ming army.

Huang Taiji led everyone to laugh for a while, then raised his hand to let everyone stop, and continued: "This New Year's Festival has also let them pass for two days, it's time to let them move, Zilharang, you take Abatai, Azig, Dolgon, Duoduo, Haoge, lead the four banners on the left flank, and urge the foot soldiers of the Mengyuan tribes to attack the city, and make the momentum bigger, so that the main force of the Ming army in Gu'an knows that if they don't come to help, Baoding will be finished." ”

Qierharang flicked his sleeves, made a Jurchen-specific curtsy, and said very simply: "Scum." ”

Huang Taiji nodded, and then ordered: "Daishan, Yue Xuan, Du Du, Sakhalian, you take the four banners of the right wing, and all the cavalry of the Mengyuan Eight Banners and the Mengyuan Tribes are gathered together, ready to stand by, once the main force of the Ming army arrives in Bazhou, you will lead the army with me to the north of their capital, and take all the cities on the first line of Tongzhou, Jizhou, Yongping, and Qian'an." ”

Dai Shan, Yue Xuan, Du Du, and Sakhalian shook their sleeves and saluted: "Scum." ”

Huang Taiji smiled and nodded, and then admonished: "Qierharang, after we leave, you immediately lead the army to retreat to the northeast, don't fall in love with war, and don't covet those gold and silver treasures and women in Baoding City, the Ming Dynasty has gold and silver treasures and women, and it is the same wherever we go." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh at Qilharang, and Qilharang said embarrassedly: "The Great Khan said that it was funny, how could I be so greedy." ”

The last half of Huang Taiji was a joke, and when he saw Qi'er Harang's expression, he couldn't help but laugh with everyone, and his mood was so happy.

At this moment, a guard outside suddenly ran in in a hurry, knelt down on one knee and said: "Great Khan, Zunhua urgent report, thousands of Ming troops are raiding, please send reinforcements to the Great Khan." ”

"What?" , Huang Taiji didn't choke on the wrong point, he stood up suddenly, and shouted: "What about people, bring it in, I'll ask." ”

The guard said, and then quickly withdrew, and after a while, he walked in with another guard, a man with a blue face.

This man beat the horse and galloped for a day and a night, the horse ran bad, and the people were blown by the cold wind, he was about to salute in a daze, Huang Taiji immediately raised his hand and said: "Excuse me, let me ask you, how many Ming troops are thousands of Ming troops?" ”

The man immediately arched his hand and said: "This, about four or five thousand people, they are all cavalry, but some horses are pulling strange-shaped carts, and the specific number is not clear." ”

The strange-shaped car, it is very likely to be the artillery carriage of the Ming army, there was no car made of the Ming army's artillery carriage before, Huang Taiji heard this, his face changed, there are artillery, Zunhua The eight hundred people may not be able to hold it for a day!

He hurriedly asked, "When you came, did the Ming army start to attack the city?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "Not yet, they just started building siege equipment." ”

When Huang Taiji heard this, he sighed, and asked for siege equipment for at least one day, and he asked again: "How much time did you spend on the road?" ”

The man estimated: "About ten hours, I brought two horses, and I didn't stop all the way." ”

More than ten hours, that is to say, now the Ming army may not have started to attack the city, there is still hope, Huang Taiji nodded, waved his hand and said: "It's hard work, go down and rest." ”

The man gave up his hand and retreated, but Huang Taiji frowned and pondered.

Four or five thousand people, as well as artillery, how many people should be sent to support?

If it is a cavalry sent to support, it must not be one person with two horses, without sleep, running seven or eight hundred miles a day, not to mention that the horses are wasted, and the people are also running weak, how can they fight!

Seven or eight hundred miles, a large force of cavalry has to run for at least two days, two days later, Zunhua City must have been taken by the Ming army, at this time Zunhua achievement is equal to four or five thousand Ming troops stationed, and they still have artillery, how many people can take it?

Huang Taiji has already regretted it a little at this time, careless, careless, if he immediately ran north after withdrawing from Gu'an, I am afraid that the army has already taken Tongzhou, and the Ming army still dares to attack Zunhua!

He thought for a while, and then ordered: "Qierharang, Abatai, Azig, you lead the four banners on the left flank and all the cavalry of the Mengyuan tribes, and immediately rush to Zunhua, if Zunhua has been occupied by the Ming army, no matter what, you must take it back!" ”

Qilharang, Abatai, and Azig said slag, and then walked out quickly.

At this time, Huang Taiji was a little hesitant and led the Ming army by the nose, should this strategy continue to be played?

If you return north now, it is definitely impossible to attack Tongzhou, because Gu'an is on the line from Baoding to Tongzhou, and the main force of the Ming army is there, and he must make a detour to attack Tongzhou.

It seems that the plan of leading the Ming army by the nose has to continue, otherwise, he ran all the way south for hundreds of miles and didn't get anything, isn't that a brain disease!

He thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Dolgon, Duoduo, Hauge, you lead your guards to urge the infantry of Mengyuan to attack the city. ”

Dolgon, Dordor, and Hauge threw up their sleeves and saluted, "Scum." ”

Huang Taiji immediately ordered: "Dai Shan, send more scouts to keep an eye on the main force of the Ming army in Gu'an, and report it immediately if there is a movement." ”

Dai Shan threw his sleeves and saluted: "Scum." ”

Huang Taiji thought that he could continue to play tricks on the Ming army, but Zhang Bin had already started to trick him at this time.

At this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army of the Gu'an Ming Army, all the generals stood quietly on both sides, and Zhang Bin sat on the handsome position and kept knocking on the handle of the handsome chair with his fingers, they were all waiting, waiting for the news from Zunhua.

After all, this is the boundary of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the location of the capital, Beizhili Shuntianfu, the Ming army communication does not need to be like Houjin, send people to run to death, Zhang Bin has already made people in Jizhou, Tongzhou, Beijing, Gu'an line to build an eight-hundred-mile urgent transmission system, Zunhua over there news, can be said to be continuous.

At this time, the latest news they received was that Cao Wenzhao had led his army to attack the city!

Therefore, Zhang Bin summoned all the generals over, he knew that with the help of artillery, Cao Wenzhao would not be able to capture Zunhua in a short time, at most half a day, Zunhua, he would definitely be able to take it, at that time, Huang Taiji, you are good-looking.

Sure enough, in less than an hour, the eight-hundred-mile urgent report came, Zunhua City, and it was taken.

Zhang Bin immediately slapped his hand, stood up and said loudly: "Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou, immediately lead Guanning Tieqi to set off, rush to Zunhua, don't be too anxious, rest for four hours after arriving in Tongzhou and then go, after arriving in Zunhua, don't fight hard with the Jiannu outside the city, go to the city and defend." Remember, no matter what, Zunhua can't be lost. ”

Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou said goodbye and obeyed, and immediately walked out quickly.

Zhang Bin immediately ordered: "Qin Liangyu, Qin Yiming, Lu Xiangsheng, order you to lead the white pole soldiers and 60,000 Ming army foot soldiers to immediately pull out the camp and assemble in the south of Gu'an City, Huang Taiji led the main cavalry of Jiannu to leave, you immediately lead the army to bite the tens of thousands of foot soldiers of the Mengyuan Dynasty, no matter what method you use, you must destroy them and take back all the Ming soldiers and ordinary people they captured!" ”

Qin Liangyu, Qin Yiming, and Lu Xiangsheng got the order, bowed their hands and obeyed the order, and walked out quickly.

Zhang Bin then ordered: "Qi Yuangong, Hou Shilu, You Shiwei, you each lead your troops, pull out the camp and line up, and be ready to attack at any time." ”

Qi Yuangong, Hou Shilu, and You Shiwei received the order, bowed their hands and obeyed the order, and walked out quickly.

At this moment, there was only the eunuch Fang Zhenghua left in the handsome tent, Zhang Bin stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Fang, let's go and prepare to prepare, prepare to pick up the ass of the emperor Taiji last year!" ”

Huang Taiji received the news that the Guanning Iron Cavalry was rushing to the north, and immediately knew that the trouble was big, and the cavalry led by Qierharang was about 40,000, and it would be no problem to deal with the 20,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry, but if the Guanning Iron Cavalry did not fight with them, they went directly to Zunhua City to defend it, and the 40,000 horses of Qierharang wanted to capture Zunhua City!

The back road is about to be copied, Huang Taiji is finally anxious, he immediately took Daishan, Yue Xuan, Du Du, Sakhalian, Dolgon, Duoduo, Haoge, led the main cavalry of Houjin Eight Banners and Mengyuan Eight Banners to rush in the direction of Zunhua, as for the tens of thousands of Mengyuan infantry soldiers, he can't manage so much, let them take the captured Ming soldiers and ordinary people to run slowly behind.

As soon as he moved here, Zhang Bin's side immediately moved.

Qin Liangyu got the order, led 10,000 white pole soldiers and 60,000 Ming army foot soldiers to attack the direction of Baoding, and the reconnaissance cavalry came out, and she quickly locked on the Meng Yuan infantry who was retreating to the northeast in a hurry.

Meng Yuan's infantry retreated sharply in the northeast direction, and Qin Liangyu led the army to the southeast to pounce, and in less than half a day, the two sides encountered Yongqing County in the east-east direction between Gu'an and Baoding.

Meng Yuan's infantry was originally less than 40,000, and after Nanyuan was wiped out by a few thousand, there were only more than 30,000 people left, and there were a lot of Ming army prisoners and civilians they coerced, at least 60,000 or 70,000, more than 100,000 people, and a large area of black pressure looked chaotic.

On the side of the Ming army, 10,000 white pole soldiers are all elite, and 60,000 foot soldiers of the Qinwang army were trained by Lu Xiangsheng for a while, and it looks like there is a little bit of the taste of the regular Ming army, 70,000 horses, lined up in one phalanx after another, neat and tidy, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

When the two sides encountered, Qin Liangyu did not hesitate to order, ordering Qin Yiming to lead 30,000 foot soldiers to the left, and Lu Xiangsheng to lead 30,000 foot soldiers to the right, and stepped forward to hold Meng Yuan's foot soldiers and the Ming army captives and ordinary people they were coercing, while she led 10,000 white pole soldiers to rush directly from the front.

This battle can be said to be the most hearty battle fought by the Ming army against the Houjin for more than ten years, the Houjin took advantage of the strong mobility of the cavalry, and generally formed a local strength advantage in the field to break the Ming army, but this time, the back road of Huang Taiji was copied, and the 30,000 Mengyuan foot soldiers and the Ming army captured and the people who were coerced he could no longer control it, and was surrounded by Qin Liangyu and the army!

Qin Liangyu, Qin Yiming, and Lu Xiangsheng were all famous fierce generals in the late Ming Dynasty, even if they had the same strength, they could easily defeat a motley army like Meng Yuan's infantry soldiers, not to mention that the number of troops was more than twice that of the other party.

Qin Liangyu led the white pole soldiers to break in head-on, Qin Yiming and Lu Xiangsheng led the foot soldiers to outflank left and right, and soon, 30,000 Meng Yuan foot soldiers surrounded them, and the fierce battle lasted for nearly two hours, and the Meng Yuan foot soldiers suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and finally fell.

The Ming army achieved the famous Yongqing victory, annihilated tens of thousands of enemy troops in World War I, captured nearly 20,000 enemy soldiers, and rescued tens of thousands of Ming soldiers and civilians captured by Jiannu!

In the palace of the capital, the young Emperor Chongzhen received the battle report, and jumped up from the dragon chair excitedly, he won, he actually won, killed tens of thousands of enemies, and captured nearly 20,000 prisoners.

Zhang Bin, Qin Liangyu, Qin Yiming, Lu Xiangsheng, good!
