Chapter 646: Is This Place Dangerous?
On the morning of the next day, starting from Mao Shi, Wu Guojun commanded the Changping battalion in accordance with the plan set at the imperial meeting of Yongshenglou the night before, arranged it separately, and carried out a simple change of defense with the officers and men of the five army battalions stationed at the head of the northern pass of Juyong Pass, Shixialing, Badaling, Huangcaoling, and other places of the enemy's platform forts, and carried out the strategy of showing the enemy's weakness.
The reason why it is said to be a simple change of defense is because the nearly 10,000 guards and soldiers at the head of the five battalions in the front and rear of the five military camps, while the old and weak soldiers in the Changping battalion, who are more like ordinary people, ascended to the city to replace the defense, these people just went down to the city to rest, and did not stay away from their respective pass defense areas.
At the same time, the 16,000 soldiers of the first town of the Guards also set up camp in separate parts with guns and cannons, and stationed in the city within a radius of four or five miles from the north pass of Juyong Pass.
The last time Emperor Chongzhen came to Juyong Pass to inspect, the guard general Wang Chengyin brought many merchants and people in the city to fill up the number, and was executed by the emperor on the spot, and hundreds of merchants and people were implicated.
In the following period of time, the emperor killed illegal nobles in Beijing, changed the military households of the guard station to local households, and the merchants and civilians in the north and south gates of Juyong Pass were almost empty.
Especially in Beiguan City, the officers and soldiers of the five military camps who came from Beijing were not good stubble, and Beiguan City, which lived in Yongguan, soon lost a foothold for ordinary businessmen and ordinary people.
The huge city of Daguan within a radius of several miles soon became the official office of the five military camps and the camp of the rear army of the middle army, and it was also the gathering place of the families of the entire five military camps.
This time, the emperor personally led a large army to Juyongguan, and the ordinary people in the city were driven out early, and a large number of houses, houses, shops, warehouses, temples and other places were cleared out as accommodation places for the accompanying officials and soldiers.
After all, living inside and outside the city, and living indoors and outdoors are completely different concepts in this season.
It is also because after the five military battalions moved to Juyongguan, the Beiguan City of Juyongguan was "occupied" by the soldiers of the five military battalions, and between the Beiguan City of Juyongguan and the Nankou Guancheng, in the long valley of 15 miles, some scattered dwellings and villages soon appeared.
At the same time, Nankou Guancheng, located at the exit of the military capital of Shannan, also became a pure military city because of the location of Juyong Pass, and soon replaced its position as the hub of the Jingxi Trade Road, and became more and more prosperous with shops.
At noon on the same day, the Beiguan City, where Juyongguan is located, and the Great Wall of Mountains on the left and right wings, just came to an end.
The enemy platforms on Badaling and Shixia Ridge have been lit up with wolf smoke that soars into the sky!
Immediately afterwards, wolf smoke also lit on the Yellow Grass Ridge, which was a little closer to Guancheng!
Let's say that in the early morning of the 6th day of the first month of November, Yangguli, one of the foreheads of the Jin State after the capture of the country, and Dardai, the son of An Feiyanggu, the minister of the five great ministers of the Jin State before and after, and Tulai, the leader of Huang Taiji's henchman Bayala, the three of them were ordered by Huang Taiji to rush towards Juyong Pass.
All the way through the city, the speed is very amazing.
Not long ago, he pacified Monan, subdued many of the southern Monan tribes that had been ruled by Lin Dan Khan, and while increasing the cannon fodder of tens of thousands of servants, he also harvested 60,000 or 70,000 Mongolian horses.
Therefore, after entering the customs from the killing of Hukou, Huang Taiji and the generals and leaders of the various banners under his command no longer regarded the war horses as so valuable, and they did not hesitate to make long-distance attacks again and again.
This tactic is certainly also very effective.
On the ancient road along the way where Yanguli and others led their troops through Datong and Xuanfu to the direction of Juyong Pass, many towns and forts garrisoned by the Ming army, when they were in a panic and prepared to defend the city in a panic, they simply did not have time to send men and horses out of the city, rush in front of Yanguli's team, and report the enemy situation to the vital Juyong Pass.
In this way, Yanguli, Dardai, and Turai, led 3,000 elite cavalry of the Yellow Banner to the east, galloped more than 300 miles east in one day and one night, and on the morning of the seventh day of November, they rushed to the Tumu Fort of Huailaiwei.
And this civil fort is also the place where Ming Yingzong was captured in the fourteenth year of orthodoxy.
In the decades after Ming Yingzong was captured, the Ming court, which had learned a painful lesson, arranged heavy troops in the Huailaiwei area, and managed this area of hundreds of miles northwest of Yongguan as solid as gold.
It's a pity that in the Chongzhen period, the past events in the Yingzong period have long dissipated in the depths of history, and along with it, there is also the defense system outside the Juyong Pass to the Huailaiwei area.
Whether it is Jiming Fort, Tumu Fort, including Yulin Fort, the last castle between Huailaiwei and Juyongguan, after one hundred and sixty or seventy years of ups and downs, it is now similar to other inland military forts.
Most of the guards subordinate to Huailaiwei have been reduced to farmers, and they are not vulnerable to a war at all.
Even some of the Xuanfu Town battalion soldiers sent by Hou Shilu to Huailaiwei to garrison at this time suddenly saw thousands of cavalry soldiers coming to the city, and they didn't dare to go out of the city to fight, but just watched thousands of cavalry driving a large number of people from the nearby countryside around the city.
And many of them not only did not feel worried about Juyongguan behind them, but also felt a little glad that the Jianyu cavalry passed around the city.
This was the reality of the late Ming Dynasty, and ordinary generals and soldiers did not care about the life and death of the country at all.
In their opinion, this is all the matter of Emperor Lao Tzu himself, and it has nothing to do with them.
Whoever will be the emperor, don't they all have to let them continue to serve as soldiers and eat food?!
Anyway, as long as the people who are tortured and killed are not their relatives, who cares about the lives and tragic fate of those villagers outside the city?
Fortunately, Li Yangchong, the governor of Xuanfu Town, Hou Shilu, the chief soldier, and Ni Yuanlu, the imperial historian of the supervising army, still played a little role in the three orders of the military rearmament war.
After Yanguli and others roared away, the defenders of Tumu Fort and Yulin Fort still lit the wolf smoke used to transmit warning signals on the enemy platform in panic.
Soon, the enemy platforms on Badaling, Shixia Ridge, and Huangcao Ridge also ignited the wolf smoke that soared into the sky!
At noon on the first day of November, the noon sun hung high in the sky of Badaling, although the sun was dazzling, but it was cold and not hot.
The cold wind from outside the fortress was whirring between the valleys west of Badaling, and a few strange cries were made from time to time.
In the strange cry of the cold wind, there was also a cry that was close to a burst.
This burst of cries came from the people of Xuanfu who were driven all the way by the three thousand cavalry captives.
There are always some people who turn a deaf ear to the requirements of the government to clear the wilderness, guarding their villages and homes and refusing to leave, thinking that they can escape the iron hooves of the Jianyu.
By this time, such people had become the pioneers of the Jianyu cavalry.
And Yanguli and others, who were traveling lightly and quickly all the way, also began to attack the villages they passed along the way in an organized manner after arriving at Huailaiwei, and in addition to obtaining supplies, they also prepared cannon fodder for the next siege plan.
So, after passing the civil fort, to the north entrance of Juyong Pass, Badaling, on both sides of the road for dozens of miles, the scattered villages have become the prey of the captive horse.
Tens of thousands of people, driven by 3,000 cavalry captives, flocked to the military capital in the valley under the mountain on the west side of Badaling, as well as the north gate of Juyong Pass in the middle of the military capital.
Yanguli rode a tall horse and stopped at the entrance of the valley, watching with disdain as the Han Chinese people who had been crying all the way and did not know how to resist rushed into the valley.
After a long time, Yanguli said to Dardai beside him: "I have heard that there are nine in the world, and there is one of them. The mediocre stuff in front of you is a dangerous place! ”
Hearing this, Dardai smiled disapprovingly: "Don't listen to those barbarian nonsense! What kind of nine stops in the world, it's just a Han barbarian boasting about himself! ”
As he spoke, Dardai pointed to the people who staggered into the valley and said, "Such cowardly people, even if there is really a dangerous pass ahead, can they hold it!?" ”
Seeing that Yanguli's face was still hesitant, Dardai continued: "Yanguli's forehead! You're just getting too close to those barbarians, and you're being frightened by their rhetoric! Is it dangerous to kill Hukou?! Is it risky to win? Was the Yahu Pass outside Qinghe City dangerous?! ”
After saying this, without waiting for Yanguli to answer, he continued: "It is very clear that the danger must be narrow! If this is a dangerous place, let me ask you, which place has I walked through since the Dajin National Railway rode into the customs, which is not a dangerous place?! ”
After Dardai said this, regardless of Yanguli's feelings, he shouted "Ride", slammed the horse's belly, and went straight to the valley.
