Hong Chengchou shouted for help in Liaodong, Chongzhen still wanted to shout for help, not only did he receive Hong Chengchou's call for help, but the guards of the Guanningjin defense line and Shanhaiguan all sent a call for help, because they had less than 20,000 horses in total!

Less than 20,000 horses in the face of more than 200,000 Jiannu army, if like Yuan Chonghuan at the beginning, a single Ningyuan city may be able to withstand it, the problem is that there is more than one Ningyuan city in the Ningjin defense line, and the cities about the same size as Ningyuan alone include Guangning, Jinzhou, Songshan and Tashan, in addition to Zuotun, Youtun, Qiantun, Houtun, Dalinghe Fort, Daxing Fort and other fortresses, as well as Shanhaiguan, these places have to be garrisoned, at this time, in addition to Shanhaiguan, there are only 1,000 people stationed in other cities!

Pingjin Bridge Fort, Xiping Fort, Zhenwu Fort, East Lianzi Fort and Wujiabao Lost Fort, a thousand people stationed in the city in front of the Jiannu army is a floating cloud, if Huang Taiji goes crazy and leads people to kill all the way to Shanhaiguan, the Guanning Jin defense line must be over, whether Shanhaiguan can hold it is still a question, once the Guanning Jin defense line and Shanhaiguan are lost, the consequences are simply unimaginable!

Chongzhen can't save Hong Chengchou at all, and Wen Tiren can't save Hong Chengchou, at this time, only Zhang Bin can save them.

Fortunately, there is still Zhang Bin, otherwise, Chongzhen will be blind again.

After reading the folds sent from Liaodong, he immediately ordered someone to send Zhang Bin to meet him.

Zhang Bin had vaguely heard that something had happened in Liaodong at this time, but he didn't know exactly what happened, because the twist was sent to the cabinet first, but Wen Tiren didn't show him, but directly ordered someone to send it to Chongzhen.

At this time, Wen Tiren didn't even dare to send the song over in person, because he was afraid that Chongzhen would ask him what to do, he didn't know what to do at all, when it came to fighting for power and profit, then he was definitely a master among the masters, when it came to dealing with Jiannu and anti-thieves, he didn't have any way, Hong Chengchou actually wanted to ask him for help, it was just blind!

Zhang Bin is not afraid that Chongzhen will ask him what to do, there is nothing to do, what not to do, just one word, do it!

He has not fought with Huang Taiji once or twice, they have fought many times in the open and secretly, this Huang Taiji is a little clever, but it is only clever to play clever, if you really want to talk about fighting, not to mention Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan He can't do it, in history, he is just lucky, just play a little clever and let the Ming Dynasty destroy the Great Wall, and kill all the people who can overturn him!

To tell the truth, Zhang Bin is not afraid of Huang Taiji, the traitors in the Ming Dynasty are much more terrible than Huang Taiji, such as Wen Tiren, if this guy doesn't take Yuan Chonghuan away and replace him with Hong Chengchou, what can happen to Liaodong.

He believes that the more than 100,000 Liaodong troops are not vegetarians after all, and no matter how much an accident happens, it won't be a big deal, so he has always been quite calm, but he never thought that something really happened this time.

As soon as he entered the imperial study, before he had time to salute, Chongzhen waved his hand to excuse him, and then said anxiously: "Shuangquan, no, what to do, Jiannu detour to break through the Great Wall outside the Guanwai, sneak attack on the west of the Santaizi River, Pingjin Bridge Fort, Xiping Fort, Zhenwu Fort, East Lianzi Fort and Wujiabao are all lost, at this time Jiannu more than 200,000 troops are going straight to the Guanning Jin defense line, Shuangquan, what to do, the Guanning Jin defense line and the Shanhaiguan garrison add up to less than 20,000!" ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he was also taken aback, and he couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, what is Hong Chengchou doing?" ”

Chongzhen was still anxious: "He sent Zu Dashou to lead 50,000 Guanning iron cavalry to test it, but before he crossed the Santaizi River, he was attacked by more than 100,000 Jiannu cavalry, and suffered heavy losses. ”

This pig, he doesn't know how to investigate first and then send Guan Ning Tie to ride it, if Jiannu is strong, he can attack in the direction of Haizhou or Gaizhou, since Huang Taiji has pulled the main force to the west of the Santaizi River, the Liaodong Plain must be weak, unite with Mao Wenlong, attack his rear, and see if he can save it!

No matter how bad it is, we must quickly dispatch men and horses to support the Guanningjin defense line from the sea, and there is something wrong with holding on to it and waiting for reinforcements!

This is really a big trouble, the Guanningjin defense line may not be able to be saved, if Huang Taiji advances frantically, Shanhaiguan is probably in danger.

He hurriedly suggested: "Your Majesty, it is advisable to quickly transfer the defenders of Jizhou Town to hold the Shanhaiguan Pass and support the Guanningjin defense line, and stabilize the position first." ”

Chongzhen shook his head and said: "No, Jizhou Town can dispatch up to 30,000 border soldiers, and there are so many city fortresses in the Guanningjin defense line, once they are scattered, there are no more than 3,000 people anywhere, and they can't withstand more than 200,000 Jiannu at all!" ”

Zhang Bin was so depressed, he couldn't say anything to this layman, he had to explain: "You can first concentrate troops and horses to defend the line of Guangning, Dalinghe Fort and Jinzhou, and Jiannu will also be afraid that the grain road will be cut off, if these three places are not taken, they will definitely not dare to go deep into the Guanningjin defense line, so that we will have time to send soldiers and horses from all over the country to support." ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he nodded again and again: "Okay, you can do whatever you want, without further ado, Shuangquan, or you will go to Liaodong to supervise the division immediately, as long as you can hold the Shanhaiguan and Guanningjin defense lines, rescue the main force of the Liaodong Army, and the soldiers and horses in the world will be dispatched by you." “

When Zhang Bin heard this, he couldn't help but move in his heart, it seemed that Chongzhen had messed up, what a chance, one idea after another came out of his mind, and a huge plan slowly revealed its prototype, but at this time, he didn't have time to think about it, let's talk about it first.

He pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then said firmly: "Okay, Weichen will go to Liaodong to supervise the division immediately, but in order to prevent arrogant soldiers and fierce generals from being deployed and destroying the overall situation, please ask the emperor to give Weichen Shangfang a sword to determine." ”

Chongzhen is indeed in chaos at this time, if Shanhaiguan is broken by Jiannu, the capital will lose its door, and he can't think about the consequences!

Shang Fang Sword, no problem, he immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I give you Shang Fang Sword, no matter who you are, if you dare not obey the order, you can cut it first and then play." ”

Just listen to this, you really dare to kill the military generals of Wenchen, Chongzhen will definitely settle accounts with you after the autumn, Zhang Bin invited Shang Fang's sword not to use it to cut people, he mainly used it to scare people, with this thing, many things are easy to do, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

Chongzhen didn't have time to talk to him, he directly ordered Cao Huachun to take the sword of Shang Fang, and ordered Cao Huachun to draw up an edict, authorizing Zhang Bin to lead the world's soldiers and horses, and Jiannu to fight Liaodong, and then handed over the ribbon seal letter and other items to Zhang Bin, and then urged Zhang Bin to hurry up and go to Shanhaiguan to preside over the overall situation.

Zhang Bin didn't have any ink, he took his things, returned to the cabinet duty room and began to issue appointments.

ordered Lu Xiangsheng to lead the Tianxiong army to go to Shanhaiguan immediately to converge;

ordered Qi Yuan's power and Qi Jiajun to immediately go to Shanhaiguan to meet;

ordered Sun Chuanting to lead 40,000 Qin troops to immediately go to the three customs to converge;

ordered Cao Wenzhao to lead 10,000 Henan soldiers to immediately go to Shanhaiguan to converge;

ordered Ma Xianglin, Qin Gongming, and Qin Yiming to immediately lead 30,000 Sichuan Army white pole soldiers to Shanhaiguan to converge;

ordered Jizhou Town to immediately dispatch 30,000 elites to Shanhaiguan to support;

Before and after, he issued a total of six orders, mobilized 130,000 troops to go to Shanhaiguan, in fact, if he just forced Huang Taiji to retreat, he didn't need so many people at all, however, he had other ideas, as for what specific thoughts, he naturally wouldn't tell anyone.

Chongzhen did not suspect anything when he received the news, and dispatched 130,000 horses to deal with the army of more than 200,000 Jiannu, in his opinion, it was still a little less, but there were only so many people that Daming could mobilize at this time, no matter how much, it would not be much.

Historically, Hong Chengchou also took the 130,000 elites that the Ming Dynasty could draw out at that time to go to Liaodong to fight the decisive battle with Huang Taiji, as a result, he was like running to deliver food, he didn't do anything, and he was killed by Huang Taiji, and the whole army was almost wiped out.

Will Zhang Bin make the same mistake?

This is naturally impossible, if there is a chance, the emperor Taiji he still wants to do will be sluggish from then on.

After issuing the dispatch order, he arranged the official and private affairs a little, and then took two teams of personal guards and went straight to Shanhaiguan on horseback.

Shanhaiguan is only more than 600 miles away from the capital, he rode his horse all the way, and he arrived the next afternoon.

Fortunately, at this time, there was no Jiannu outside the pass, and even, according to the report of the Guanning Jin defense line, Jiannu was still besieging Guangning at this time, and he simply attacked the Guanning Jin defense line.

This thing is a bit strange, although the defenders of the Guanning Jin defense line are desperate, and all the soldiers and horses are gathered on the line of Guangning and Jinzhou, and the two cities have sent nearly 5,000 people to garrison, but this point of men and horses is nothing to Jiannu, if it is surrounded by a fierce attack on all sides, whether it is Guangning or Jinzhou, it is good to be able to hold on for a day, what does Huang Taiji mean?

Zhang Bin was not in a hurry, because at this time, even the nearest soldiers and horses in Jizhou Town had not yet arrived, and he had no soldiers and horses under him, so it was useless to be anxious.

On the one hand, he sent Zhang Chaqin to lead a small team of guards to Guangning to inquire about the situation, and on the other hand, he secretly asked people to inform Dongfan Jiuwei to prepare men and horses, prepare grain and grass, and prepare for a big war, and at the same time sent someone to inform Mao Wenlong to gather people and horses and prepare to pull out, so he was busy for three days, and the 30,000 horses and horses in Jizhou Town finally arrived, and Zhang Cha, who went to Guangning to inquire about the news, also returned.

According to Zhang Cha Tanbao, Huang Taiji's performance at this time was like his head in the water, he only sent 50,000 Meng Yuan steps to blare outside the city of Guangning, as if he was rushing to make siege equipment and preparing to attack the city, but those Meng Yuan steps were obviously grinding foreign workers, and many people were holding a piece of wood there to "carve finely", as if they wanted to carve a flower!

What does this mean?

Zhang Bin looked at the map and analyzed it for a long time, and finally saw that the clue was coming, Huang Taiji was waiting for the rabbit!

He knew that the Ming Dynasty would definitely send reinforcements, and he also knew that Hong Chengchou would be restless, and he put on a posture to force the Ming Dynasty to organize the army to run to the west bank of the Santaizi River to fight a decisive battle, and the terrain there was extremely complicated, just like the original Salhu, how much the Ming army went, it was estimated that he would be eaten up!

After knowing Huang Taiji's intentions, Zhang Bin was even less anxious, this guy loved to wait, he wanted him to get into the trap, but there was no door.

He waited at Shanhaiguan for another five days, until Lu Xiangsheng and Qi Yuangong arrived with their troops one after another, and Dongfan and Mao Wenlong sent a reply, and then he led an army of 50,000 to Guangning.

This road is still controlled by the Ming army, naturally there is no danger, he led the 50,000 troops to march for five days and then felt outside the city of Guangning.

At this time, the 50,000 Mengyuan Buzu who were pretending to attack the city outside the city seemed to be frightened and panicked, and they were very chaotic for a while, and finally gathered in the south of the city, putting on a loose formation against the Ming army coming from afar.

Zhang Bin looked at Meng Yuan's footsteps with a telescope, and couldn't help but glance at his mouth, these guys, are you pretending to be like a little bit.

He directly ordered: "Qi Yuangong, quickly deploy the car formation, the tiger squat artillery follows, the musketeers are at the end, slowly press up, Lu Xiangsheng, lead the Tianxiong army to follow." Others stood by and stood by. ”

Isn't it a bit of a joke to take the car array to deal with Buzu, and it's 20,000 against 50,000 people?

In fact, otherwise, Zhang Bin had already seen that these Meng Yuan Buzu didn't want to fight here at all, looking at their leisurely appearance, where they wanted to fight, they clearly wanted to run away and lure them to pursue.

Sure enough, Qi Yuangong just led 10,000 Qi family troops to press up, and those Meng Yuan's steps were like frightened rabbits, running away, and the appearance of losing his armor was like a group of big bad wolves chasing after him!

If someone else leads the army, it is estimated that they will not hesitate to lead the army to catch up and kill with one slash, which is a military feat, even if you can't cut all 50,000 people, it is a great feat to cut one or two thousand.

It's a pity that Zhang Bin didn't have any intention of chasing and killing, Meng Yuan ran away, he immediately ordered the Qi family army and the Tianxiong army to stop the pursuit, and then led 50,000 troops into the city of Guangning.

When Huang Taiji heard the news, he was so angry that a mouthful of blood spurted out.

He really wanted to wait for the rabbit to come, and even he had calculated that Chongzhen would send Zhang Bin to lead the army to support, and the terrifying Qi family army would definitely come, he had already prepared, 60,000 heavy armored infantry and 100,000 Manmeng iron cavalry had already been ambushed on the way from Guangning to Xiping Fort, just waiting for Zhang Bin to lead the army to come, and he would give him a dumpling.

Last time he was beaten by the Qi army near the capital, this time, he wanted to take revenge, to use 60,000 heavy infantry to annihilate the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, as long as the Qi family army and Zhang Bin led the reinforcements were annihilated, the Ming Dynasty will be finished, and then he can go all the way to the west to attack the Guanning Jin defense line and even Shanhaiguan, forcing Hong Chengchou to lead the army to help, and then come to a beautiful ambush battle, annihilating the Liaodong Army in one fell swoop, the Ming Dynasty is really finished.

He thought it was beautiful, but unfortunately, Zhang Bin seemed to have seen through his plan, rushed to Guangning and did not pursue the "defeated" Meng Yuan Buzu, nor did he organize a large army to recover Xiping Fort, Zhenwu Fort and other fortresses on the west bank of the Santaizi River, so he nested in Guangning City and did not move!

Now, he is really going crazy, the supply of grain and grass for more than 200,000 troops is already difficult, as soon as this winter passes, all rivers are thawed, and it is even more difficult to transfer grain and grass from Liaohetao, so he can't stand it!
