On the first day of the fourth month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, in Pinggu County, General Shiguan.

Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, stood on the wall, and the 200,000 soldiers of the army on the left were leaving the city in an orderly manner, and stood by in the wilderness north of the city.

At this time, Zhao Kaishan, the commander-in-chief of Guangning Town, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, and Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Huguang, had already led the soldiers of the headquarters out of the city and were reorganizing the formation and standing by; The Hanwei Army Pacesetter Battalion under the command of Cao Wenzhao, the chief military officer of Lintao, and Liu Yunwei were on standby in the city, and the soldiers of the Changshui Battalion led by Wen Poyu, the chief military officer of Jizhou Town, were clearing the customs at this time.

A day later, the army on the left drove out of the general's Shiguan and headed north towards the grassland, passing through Xinglong in only two days, and directly killed Baimachuan!

In the process of the army going north, it encountered several groups of Mongolian iron cavalry that came to harass, but under the blow of the soldiers of the Changshui battalion led by Wen Poyu, these groups of Mongolian iron cavalry who came to harass were defeated one after another.

After that, Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, ordered the 200,000 troops of all departments to be stationed on the grassland 20 li north of Baima River and 15 li south of the Hara River Loop to confront the main force of 300,000 Mongolian iron cavalry led by Tushetu Khan Oba of the Korqin Tribe.

And just a few days before Liu Yunwei ordered the army to attack, Liu Yunwei had learned that Tushetu Khan Oba of the Horqin Department had led a total of 400,000 Mongolian troops to the south, and had now divided the troops into two routes, one way stationed in Mantaoer, with a strength of about 100,000 iron cavalry, and one was personally led by Tushetu Khan Oba and garrisoned in the area of the Hara River Loop with 300,000 iron cavalry.

According to the information received by Liu Yunwei, Oba and other leaders of the Mongolian tribes have jumped over the wall in a hurry and ordered all the Mongolian men from the ages of 50 to 13 to be assembled.

It can be said that the Mongolian iron cavalry faced by the Ming army has included all the young and strong men of the Mongolian tribes!

Moreover, in response to the pleas for help from the leaders of the Oba and other tribes, the 28 Outer Mongolian Divisions also went south with all their might, and the 28 leaders of the Outer Mongolian Divisions gathered a total of 300,000 iron cavalry troops, which can be described as a strong force.

At this time, the troops had been divided into two routes to the south, one was 200,000 Mongolian iron cavalry troops stationed in the area of the Han River Loop, and the other 100,000 iron cavalry was stuck in the Daning area.

As soon as the battle on the left side began, the army of Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, faced a huge number of Mongolian iron cavalry, which far exceeded the pre-war expectations.

When the news came, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Cao Wenzhao were all worried, just looking at the strength of the Mongolian departments, it was no less than the Manchu army at the time of the Liaodong War, and the troops under the command of Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, were only half of the Liaodong War!

But what Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Cao Wenzhao didn't expect was that the ordinary soldiers who went up to Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, and down to the battalions of the Hanwei Army, were all happy when they heard the battle, and the enemy was strong and excited.

Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but sigh: "The soldiers under the command of Zhenguo Gong are really the division of tigers and wolves, and they have the sharpness of the Qin and Han Tigers!" ”

Cao Wenzhao and Sun Chuanting also agreed, and they were full of confidence in the outcome of the battle in front of them. At the same time, the three of them also have more expectations for the soldiers under their respective commands, hoping that after the baptism of this war, the soldiers under their respective commands will grow up as soon as possible and become a real tiger and wolf army like the soldiers of the Hanwei Army and the Dangkou Battalion!

The Hara Loop, the Mongol army barracks.

When Korqin Tushetu Khan Oba learned that Liu Yunwei, the prince of Ming Guozhen, had led an army of 200,000 troops out of the pass and headed north, he was stationed fifteen miles south of his side, and his heart was also full of war spirit.

If he can defeat the Zhenguo Gong of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop in this battle, and can severely damage the elite of the world like the Han Wei Army, then he can unify all the Mongolian tribes with the prestige of the sky, and rebuild the glory of Great Mongolia!

So, with such pride, Oba ordered the Mengke Iron Cavalry to take the lead in attacking, and ordered the 100,000 Mongolian Iron Cavalry stationed in the Mantaoer area to go south and attack the Gubeikou of Miyun Town of the Ming State in order to contain the strength of the Ming army.

At the same time, Oba also sent people to deliver news to the 200,000 Mongolian iron cavalry troops stationed in the area of the Jiahan Hetao, asking his troops to advance westward from the area of the Jiahan Hetao as soon as possible, and from the Chengde area to the west to the Baima River, cutting off the rear route of the Ming army.

In this way, coupled with the 100,000 Mongolian iron cavalry that attacked the Gubeikou of Miyun Town, the Mongolian army has completely surrounded the 150,000 Ming army in the narrow strip north of Baimachuan and south of the Hara Hetao!

With the frequent movement of the Mongolian iron cavalry army, Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, also received the news. Under the investigation of the elites of the various ministries at night, the movements of the iron cavalry army of the Mongolian ministries were completely presented in front of Liu Yunwei's eyes.

Regarding the intentions of the Mongol army, the commanders of the Ming army discussed a lot, and they were roughly divided into two factions.

Among them, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chengzong, and Cao Wenzhao believed that this time the Mongolian iron cavalry was superior, and the troops were divided into three ways to encircle and kill, menacing, and the soldiers were very sharp, and the Ming army should temporarily retreat, or retreat to the outside of Gubeikou, or reoccupy Baimachuan, and first keep the retreat of the army.

Zhao Kaishan and Wen Poyu believed that although the Mongolian army was arrogant, the combat power of the Mongolian army was far inferior to that of the Ming army. Zhao Kaishan and Wen Poyu not only did not approve of the retreat of the army, but also roared angrily to march immediately, directly towards the Hara Hetao, capture the thief and capture the king first, ignore the left and right Mongolian armies, and directly annihilate the 300,000 Mongolian army led by Tushetu Khan Oba of the Horqin Department!

For a time, the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army launched a heated debate, and neither side could convince anyone.

In the end, everyone looked at Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, and asked Liu Yunwei to make a decision.

Liu Yunwei kept staring at the topographic map on the bookcase while everyone was arguing, and he already had a plan in his heart. At this time, Liu Yunwei smiled and said to everyone: "700,000 Mongolian iron horsemen are going south together, this is a piece of fat!" We must chew and swallow slowly, and we must not gobble it up, otherwise we will eat it before we even taste it! ”

"Haha!"

The generals were arguing just now, but now they all burst into laughter when they heard Liu Yunwei's words, and the atmosphere in the big tent of the Chinese army has become more lively.

Liu Yunwei also smiled with everyone, and then continued: "The situation facing our army now is indeed a bit grim, but it can't shake the foundation of our army!" ”

All the generals also nodded in agreement.

"Since the Mongolian army is now coming in three ways, my duke has decided to plan the plan, and the soldiers will be divided into four ways to meet the attack, and they will finish their work in one battle, and start a general battle with the Mongolian army, and the victory or defeat will be determined in one battle!"

The generals were all surprised when they heard this, and then they all felt their blood boiling and couldn't help themselves.

This is a battle comparable to the Great War of Liaodong! As a Ming martial artist, I am fortunate to participate, that is the glory of cultivation in the previous life!

Even Sun Chuanting, Cao Wenzhao, and Lu Xiangsheng, who had always advocated the retreat of the whole army to temporarily avoid the enemy's edge, looked eager to try, not to mention Zhao Kaishan and Wen Poyu.

Liu Yunwei ordered someone to hang up the topographic map on the bookcase, and said to everyone: "This prince has decided to divide the army into four ways!" On the first road, with Shaanxi Governor Sun Chuanting as the main general, the army was composed of the elite of his Qin soldiers and Cao Wenzhao, the chief officer of Lintao. ”

Liu Yunwei said to Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao: "Your task is to unite the defenders of Gubeikou to defend the city, and under the enemy's Xiongguan, you can inflict as much damage as possible on the 100,000 Mongolian iron cavalry that came to attack!" Remember, there must be no mistakes in Gubeikou! ”

Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao immediately boiled when they heard this, Zhen Guogong let the two lead their troops to fight 100,000 Mongolian iron horsemen alone, which is not only an affirmation and trust of the two, but also a promotion of the two, giving Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao a great opportunity to make meritorious achievements!

So, Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao shouted and said: "Get the order!" Please rest assured, with the two of us, Gubeikou is foolproof! ”

Then, Liu Yunwei said: "On the second road, with Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Huguang, as the main general, the army is composed of his Tianxiong Army and the Tiger Battalion of Zhao Kaishan, the chief military officer of Guangning, and the soldiers of the army will return to Baimachuan early tomorrow morning to meet the 200,000 Mongolian iron cavalry of the foreign domain. ”

Liu Yunwei looked at Lu Xiangsheng's face with some embarrassment, but Zhao Kaishan was excited, so he said with a smile: "Governor Lu, the task of your second army is not to fight a decisive battle with the 200,000 Mongolian iron cavalry of the outer domain, but to try to hold back the enemy army, as long as you hold out for fifteen days, the 200,000 Mongolian iron cavalry of the outer domain will withdraw by themselves!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded heavily, clenched his fists and said, "Humble duty is ordered!" Please rest assured, as long as the humble position is there, Baimachuan is here! ”

Zhao Kaishan laughed and said, "Haha! Now the soldiers are going to open the meat! ”

Liu Yunwei smiled, then pointed to the topographic map, drew a huge arc on the topographic map, and said to everyone: "The third way!" Composed of the chief soldier of Jizhou Town, Wen Poyu, the head of the water battalion iron cavalry, they set off tonight and directly crossed the Luanhe River east to attack Daning! To this father, the Mongolian baggage, the old and the young in Daning City will be burned! ”

"Good!"

Everyone looked at the huge arc drawn by Liu Yunwei on the topographic map, and they all cheered up and applauded loudly, this is a trick to draw salary! When the time comes, the Mongol armies of all walks of life will definitely be shaken and defeated one after another! You must know that before this, the Mongol armies of all walks of life had already taken Daning as their rear, and most of the baggage and clansmen were placed in Daning City! As long as Daning City is lost, the Mongol armies from all walks of life will collapse without a fight!

"Fourth way! The soldiers of the pacesetter battalion under his command under the command of Bengong himself continued to march north and attacked the main army of 200,000 Mongols entrenched in the Hara Loop! ”
