Chapter 52: The Battle of Mingmengjin (9)
And just when Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan were busy here, the leader of the Karaqin Mongols finally fled to the station of the Houjin and Mongolian coalition forces with the remnants of the Mongolian cavalry. Oh no! The food team transported by the minister and Belle Ye encountered a sneak attack by the Ming army, the grain and grass were robbed, and our warriors were also killed! β
Huang Taiji's face suddenly turned black and he could drip ink, "How many people are there on the other side?" What's going on? Tell me more! β
The leader of the Karaqin Mongols cried and said: "There are Ming troops all over the mountains, and there are 100,000 people, or even more!" β
Huang Taiji was stunned: "There are so many Ming troops? β
The leader of the Karaqin Mongols nodded affirmatively: "The minister thinks that the capital camp of the Ming army is all here, and it is still about Ning Tieqi!" Of course, he wants to talk about the number of people, and he also wants to say that there are 500,000 or even 1 million on the other side, but it is definitely unrealistic to say this, so he roughly said a figure that is closer to the truth.

Huang Taiji nodded and said, "Go on!" What's going on? What about Amin Belle, why did you come back alone, tell me more! β
"The minister and Lord Belle escorted the grain and grass, all the way cautious, not daring to be a little sloppy, when passing through the ambush site of the Ming army, Lord Belle and the minister also sent spies to the hills to investigate, and only passed after repeatedly confirming that it was safe!" Of course, the leader of the Karaqin Mongols cannot say that it was his mistakes that led to the ambush.
Huang Taiji also heard that something was wrong, and said, "How can you still be ambushed after you have confirmed that you are safe?" β
The leader of the Karaqin Mongols wiped his nose and tears, and said: "Maybe the Ming army hid it well, but it didn't find it for a while!" In addition, the road is safe, and the spies didn't expect the Ming army to appear, maybe they missed something! "The leader of the Karaqin Mongols directly put the responsibility on the spies, anyway, they can't find it out now, if you want to ask the spies, the spies have already died in battle!
Huang Taiji listened, frowned, and continued: "Go on!"
The leader of the Karaqin Mongols said: "After that, our team slowly began to advance, and suddenly the leading soldiers seemed to have stepped on a mine, and the team in front was in chaos, followed by a sound of cannons behind the hill, and Belle Ye and his ministers thought of being ambushed, and the enemy was on the other side of the hill, so they immediately gathered the warriors to kill the past, how do you think that the Ming army had already prepared, dozens of artillery guns fired at us, as well as all kinds of firearms, rockets, muskets, and the most hateful thing is that they were still full of mines on the way we rushed to kill, Our warriors died before they got close to the Ming army, and Belle Ye also saw the Guanning Iron Cavalry who was ready to take advantage of the charge, thinking that we were completely at a disadvantage, plus the damage of firearms, the number was already less than the enemy, so he immediately retreated and prepared to gather the remaining warriors to strike at the enemy again, but when we retreated and reconvened the warriors to prepare to fight again, I didn't expect the Ming army to pull the firearms to the hill with their war horses, and bombarded our team directly, and we lost most of them before we charged, Immediately after that, their 100,000 people took advantage of the situation to charge, and our Dajin warriors and Mongolian warriors were not afraid of death, and Belle Ye and his ministers led the remaining warriors to resist to the death! In the end, the situation became more and more unfavorable for us, so Lord Belle covered the ministers and let the ministers break through to report the situation to the emperor! β
Huang Taiji listened to the whole idea, mainly two messages, one is that the reinforcements of the Ming army are about 100,000 people, with the Beijing camp and his old opponent Guanning Iron Cavalry; The second is the firearms of the Ming army, according to intelligence, the range of this batch of firearms should be much farther than the previous ones, and the quality is very good, they can be fired continuously, unlike the previous firearms that are easy to blow up and bor, and there are still a lot of firearms, and the firepower is intensive!
It seems that this support army is more tricky, the Ming State has sent all the family resources to Mongolia, if you find a way to completely annihilate this army, then the strength of the Ming State will at least be greatly reduced. Not to mention paralysis, it is inevitable that the vitality will be seriously damaged!
However, the most critical thing at present is how to solve this grain and grass problem, according to the current progress, the remaining grain and grass is only enough to support seven days, and you must send someone back immediately, Huang Taiji asked with a cold face: "Just now you came in crying all the way from the gate of the barracks?" β
"The minister is so sad! I can't control it! The leader of the Karaqin Mongols said, he sensed that something was wrong.
Huang Taiji really wanted to summon someone to pull this stupid X out and cut it down, but at present, he still needed to unite all departments, so he waved his hand in disgust: "You go down and rest!" Take care of your injuries! In addition, you are not allowed to talk about grain and grass with other people, don't ask about it, you say that it is because you suddenly received a report from home, saying that it is your who is dead, and you think, so the sad Ben Khan asked for a change of person to transport grain, understand? β
The leader of the Karaqin Mongols wiped his cold sweat and said, "The minister understands! Retire! Saying that, he hurriedly retreated, for fear that Huang Taiji would regret it.
Soon, the other tribal leaders also knew that the leader of the Karaqin Mongols was back, so they all came to ask Huang Taiji what was going on, Huang Taiji originally wanted to hide it, but in the end he forgot it, so he told the matter, otherwise he couldn't transport so much food on his own, and he would definitely have to crowdfund! When the other chiefs heard this, they were shocked! What should I do if I shout like this!
Huang Taiji pressed his hand and said: "Don't worry, Ben Khan sent an army to capture Xuanfu and Datong of the Ming Kingdom a few days ago, and will transfer some grain and grass from there for emergency, and we also need to send people back to drop the grain!" But now we can't let the soldiers know that there is a problem with our food and grass, otherwise it will not be conducive to the battle of the army! Get it! β
The others directly skimmed the matter of why Huang Taiji sent an army to attack the Ming Kingdom alone, and they all focused on the issue of grain and grass, so they all said that they understood and would take into account the overall situation, and then everyone began to drop the grain, in addition, Huang Taiji also sent Azig to lead 10,000 people and the Mongolian side to send 10,000 people to the ambush place together, check the scene, and see if there was any harvest, but when they arrived, it was already people who went to Makong, leaving only a pile of wreckage, as well as people all over the ground, and the minced meat of horses, There are also the leftover beef and mutton gnawed by the Ming army, as well as the burned grain cart, looking at the scene in front of him, Azig let out an angry roar, vowing to kill this Ming army, avenging the dead Dajin warriors and Mongolian warriors, they did not seriously count whether all the grain and grass were destroyed, just looked at the remnants, and withdrew after finding that there were no survivors, of course, he also ordered his subordinates not to chew their tongues after going back, which is also good to come Azig, although this person is brave, but lacks wisdom, Otherwise, it's really hard to say whether they can hide it, and it was Azig's negligence that allowed He Kegang and Chen Mingyu to escort the loot and prisoners of war back to Jinzhou all the way, Huang Taiji didn't know about it until afterwards, and he was also furious, but Azig was sent by himself, and if he was punished, it would also mean that he was not using people properly, so in the end, the matter was overγγγγγγ
