Looking at Shenzhou from the perspective of the sky, 1632 AD, the fifth year of Chongzhen, the sixth year of Tiancong.

This year, blood was sprinkled all over China, and the fighting never stopped inside and outside the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, and death became the main tone of the world.

The war of the Ming Dynasty besieging the rebels was in full swing, and the entire Ming army pursued behind the rebels, biting the tail of the rebels, and the two sides came and went, constantly rushing back and forth in Qinzhou, Zezhou, Liaozhou, and Lu'an.

The Ming army can be said to have won a huge victory, tens of thousands of rebels were killed in the five years of Chongzhen, tens of thousands of women and children were captured, Qinzhou and Zezhou could be recovered, but the victory of the Ming Dynasty was not perfect, because the rebels began to shift the battlefield to Liaozhou and Lu'an in the continuous guerrilla attacks.

Among them, Lu'an was basically occupied by the anti-army Wang Jiayin, and Liaozhou, where Xu Dingchen, the governor of the three towns, was seated was also in a stalemate with the anti-Japanese war, Liaozhou was like a woman, pulling back and forth in the scramble between two men.

At the same time, Pingyang, where Tang Xidong was located, began to stay out of the war.

Tang Xidong was bent on requisitioning a large army to build river defenses, but he didn't know that at this time, in his west, north and northeast directions, he had gathered 100,000 elite forces of the Ming army, ready to open his mouth and swallow him at any time.

At the end of May, Hong Chengchou, who was secretly stationed in Hancheng, finally gave up the decision to cross the river in Hajin and prepared to go north to find another opportunity and location, while in Qinyuan City, Qinzhou, northeast of Pingyang, the border army of 30,003 towns had been waiting for a long time, just waiting for an order to enter Pingyang City.

In May, Tang Xidong received a spy report that a large number of Ming troops were stationed on the other side of the river.

There are an estimated 100,000.

Hearing the report, Tang Xidong was immediately vigilant, and on the one hand ordered Zhang Xiahai to closely monitor and not let anyone cross the river into Pingyang, and on the other hand, he ordered Zhang Sanshi to be ready to requisition and deploy a large army to aid the Western Front at any time, the entire Western Front was too long, relying on the 30,000 new troops in Zhang Xiahai's hands, it was difficult to resist left and right in order to prepare for the improvement of the entire Western Front.

What Tang Xidong didn't know was that the so-called tens of thousands of troops that appeared in Hancheng were actually just a trick set up by Hong Chengchou, with an empty camp and a bunch of straw men, in fact, Hong Chengchou had already led a large army to go north along the river, and at this time he had found a new way to cross the river, that is, Shangping Pass at the junction of Taiyuan Mansion and Pingyang Mansion, and the garrisons stationed at Shangping Pass were their own people, crossing along Shangping Pass across the river, and Tang Xidong was difficult to find.

At the end of May, Wang Jiayin finally occupied Lu'an, and when the new army in the hands of Tang Xidong completed the construction of the river embankment, the Ming army of Huaiqing Mansion from Henan went north to Zezhou and took advantage of the situation to occupy the city of Zezhou.

So outside the city of Zezhou, Tang Xidong and the Ming army were divided into two, each accounting for half.

In June, Hong Chengchou led his army to finally cross the river and ambush Shangping Pass.

At this time, Tang Xidong had just rearranged the new army under his command.

Zhang Xiahai commanded 30,000 new troops to defend and control the western front, of which 5,000 Pingyang regiments were stationed in Hejin, Jia Hu led 20,000 troops to garrison Yueyang and defend the northeast of Pingyang, including a new Pingyang regiment, Zhang Sanshi led 20,000 troops to garrison Quwo to defend the south, and Li Shangquan led 20,000 troops to occupy the two cities of Qinshui and Yangcheng in Zezhou and held opposite the Ming army from Huaiqing.

Tang Xidong led 15,000 new troops to Pingyang, including 5,000 of the old company of Luoliang Mountain.

The whole of Binh Duong was already surrounded by the Ming army.

Tang Xidong didn't know that Da Ming was about to do something to himself.

But when a lion suddenly discovers that his territory is surrounded by tigers, he will inevitably become defensive.

At the beginning of June, Hong Chengchou led the army to recuperate at Shangping Pass, and at the same time issued operational orders to the border army of Qinyuan Three Towns and the Huaiqing Ming Army, and planned to enter Pingyang on the tenth day of June, and go directly to the city of Pingyang.

The goal this time is to behead Tang Xidong and exterminate Luoliang Mountain.

For this campaign, the Ming court dispatched 120,000 Ming troops, hundreds of artillery, 20,000 guns, of which the newly developed delay artillery is equipped with 20 guns, you must know that the newly developed artillery of the Ming Dynasty can be described as extremely precious, the entire Liaodong defense line has not yet been fully equipped, and now it can be mobilized to the Ming army in Shaanxi, which is already a big investment.

————

Chongzhen for five years, officially after Jin Tiancong six years.

The old pig Pi Nurhachi has been dead for more than five years, and the Eighth Prince, Taiji, is ambitious and is moving towards the Qing Empire he envisioned.

Since his father passed on the "seven hatreds" in the world, Huang Taiji inherited his father's will, eliminated the Ming Dynasty, and established an empire belonging to the Jianzhou Jurchens.

And then, the old pigskin died in Ningyuan City, which made Huang Taiji and Daming have a deep hatred, and Daming is one of Huang Taiji's biggest enemies.

Because he sat on the throne of the Khan, because he needed to consolidate his position with the help of such a name of avenging his father, because he always knew that his Khan was given to him by his three brothers, but among the three brothers, in addition to the Great Bel Dai Shan, the second Bel Amin and the third Bel Mang Gurtai have always forgotten his heart and never died, peeking at his throne.

Only by constantly attacking the city, constantly attacking the Ming Dynasty, and constantly adding credit to himself, can he keep his throne stable.

But Houjin is not the only enemy.

In the war between Houjin and Daming, there was another person who was constantly looking for faults and harassing, which annoyed him.

That was the Mongolian Lindan Khan.

In the eyes of Huang Taiji, this person is like a fly, always buzzing around him.

In the war between Houjin and Daming, this person took advantage of the chaos to attack many times, constantly attacking on the side, just because Daming promised him a few silver taels, he dared to pick up the tiger's whiskers.

Huang Taiji is already annoyed.

So Chongzhen for five years and Tiancong for six years.

Huang Taiji personally led tens of thousands of troops to Chahar and attacked Lin Dan Khan.

The combat power of the wild boar skin is indeed strong.

To know the relationship between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin, it is difficult to explain clearly.

At that time, the Mongols defeated their ancestor Jin Jurchen, and then defeated the ancestor of the Han people, the Great Song, thus laying down the most extensive country in the world.

So the relationship between the three is just like now, you hit me, I hit you.

After the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown, the Mongols were still entrenched in the grasslands outside the Guan, and the Ming Dynasty had been fighting since the founding of the country, and the Ming Dynasty could not help each other.

But the wild boar skin came, and as soon as the Jianzhou Jurchens who lived in the white mountains and black waters came, starting from the old wild boar Nurhachi, to Huang Taiji, they all beat the Mongols to the point where they had no power to fight back.

The battle is sure to be won, and Lin Dan Khan's power to dominate the grassland was weakened a little bit.

And now, Huang Taiji is preparing to attack Chahar, just to clean up the lurking clown around him in one fell swoop.

In May, Huang Taiji personally marched, accompanied by ten younger brothers Derge, twelve younger brothers Azig, fourteenth brother Dolgon, cousin Zilharang, and nephew Yue Tuo.

In this battle, Houjin was like a bear and tiger, and went straight to Chahar, and it only took half a month to defeat Chahar, and Lin Dan Khan fled in embarrassment and disappeared.

Huang Taiji was extremely happy, so that the backyard was peaceful, and he could free up his hands to clean up the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

The idea of entering the Ming Dynasty again and approaching the capital rose to my heart.
