Chapter Seventy-Nine: Trickery
The next few days were very treacherous, and Zhu Houzhao was desperately marching to find a suitable place to get rid of or kill the thousands of Tatar troops that followed behind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Tatars, however, did not rush up to harass them again, but hung far behind, neither far nor near, and the meaning of surveillance was more than deterrence.
"My lord, these Tartars are planning to wipe us out!" Yu Dayou, who was young but tall in stature, looked worriedly at the one or two Tartar scouts who appeared in the distance.
Zhu Houzhao didn't look back, gritted his teeth and said: "I naturally know that they are not sure of victory and waiting for reinforcements, and it is estimated that the next time they appear in front of us will be a large-scale cavalry army of 10,000 people!" ”
"Ten thousand!" Yu Dayou swallowed his saliva: "Will we have such a big face?" The weakness of the soldiers in the south is obvious to all, how strong the elite of Shanhaiguan is, and the Tatars are said to have sent a cavalry of 10,000 people to annihilate them all, let's ...... Unlikely, right? ”
"Huh!" Zhu Houzhao sneered, he glanced at the new army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang who were buried in the march and said confidently: "Our team is already the elite of the elite of the million-strong army of the Ming Dynasty, if there is no 20,000 or 30,000 people to surround us, even if we eat it on this plain, we have to make them pay enough price!" ”
Zhu Houzhao was very helpless in his heart, looking at the entire alluvial beach of the Yellow River except for the vast plain or the vast plain, in such a place and the Tatars with six legs, there was no difference from looking for death.
What to do! What to do!
When night fell, Zhu Houzhao decided to camp, anyway, those Tatars would not come to the door for a while, so it was better to rest and recuperate in a hurry, and when the time came for the big battle, he would be more energetic.
However, those who can still sleep under the eyes of wolves are generally people with big hearts, and it is obvious that Zhu Houzhao is not, and neither is Yu Dayou.
Yu Dayou has always been concerned about how to cross the Yellow River, build defenses on the south bank, and even suggest that it is better to advance to the hinterland of Zhili, which is better than fighting on the back of the water.
Zhu Houzhao insisted on marching in the direction of Shanxi, as long as he could enter the mountains, Ren Tatar had 100,000 iron cavalry and had nothing to do with him! About 300 li to the north is Zhangdefu, and 500 li to the west is Huaiqingfu.
Originally, for Zhu Houzhao, Zhangde Mansion was also a good place to go, but I am afraid that it has been on the verge of falling in the past few days, after all, Zhangde Mansion is not as tall as the capital, and there are many guards, and I am afraid it will be too late for them to go over.
Only in the direction of Huaiqing Mansion!
At the same time, the Tatar cavalry of nearly 20,000 was frantically assembling, almost reaching a huge army of 10,000 commanders, and was encircling the new army of 10,000 led by Zhu Houzhao.
10,000 against 10,000 is definitely a one-sided slaughter, not to mention that Zhu Houzhao's new army is not at all like the usual foot soldiers with huge shields and spears, and he can't even take out the most common defensive formations.
Night, it's fucking black! Not to mention the moon, not even a star. It stands to reason that the autumn flood has passed, and the weather in the north will no longer be cloudy and rainy, but Zhu Houzhao will always have a strange illusion that black clouds are crushing the city and want to destroy it.
Capital. 40,000 Tatar horsemen and tens of thousands of soldiers have been besieging the city for more than a month, and the bones piled up under the city walls have begun to emit a strong stench of decay on this autumn day.
Crows from a radius of hundreds of miles flocked to the city, forming a huge black cloud over the capital, intending to enjoy this gluttonous feast of the two clans fighting for each other.
"Dark clouds!" Liu Daxia and Wang Shouren stood side by side on the city wall, looking up and seeing such a scene, they couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
During this period of time, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, has fully recognized the command talent of the young man around him. There were eighteen miles of vast walls to guard, but they only had more than 40,000 soldiers in their hands.
This still includes the Shenji Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, the Five Military Battalions and all the palace guards, all of whom are old soldiers.
But Wang Shouren relied on this group of old soldiers to hold the capital for a month, of course, there is also the reason why the Tatars did not attack the city with all their might, but this is enough to show Wang Shouren's ability.
The little prince of Tatar has lived a very chic life during this time, and the harvest brought back by tens of thousands of wolves under his command after riding out is not only a large amount of cannon fodder for gold, silver, grain and grass, but the most unlikely thing is that there are women.
At this time, the little prince's Chinese army tent was captured and brought back from all kinds of little niangyan thin ring fat, which let the little prince enjoy the smooth and tender of what is a woman in the Central Plains. The women in the curtain were forcibly stripped naked, and their delicate skin was bloodied under the little prince's wolf paws, except for the eyes next door and some wisdom, the others were dead gray, and it was obvious that the matter was not lightly damaged.
The little prince pulled the spear out of the body of a good-looking woman, and glanced at the woman with some disgust, feeling a little unhappy in his heart. When this woman first came, she knew that she was struggling and screaming, but after two days of hard work, she completely turned into a puddle of mud, and she was too lazy to exercise even the most basic movements, which made the little prince feel like he was in Jianten when he did it.
It's also everyone's girlfriend, how can it be so unhelpful. The little prince grabbed the woman's hair, wiped his slime-stained spear, and waved his hand to summon a few Tatar men who stood guard at the door.
"Leave those women who are still a little wise, and you can divide the rest." The little prince said casually: "How is the situation outside?" ”
He hadn't been out of the tent for a few days, he didn't have to come out, and he didn't bother to get out.
Since the Ming army in the direction of Shanhaiguan, which is the most powerful, was completely annihilated by him, there is probably no one in the entire Ming army who can compete with the sons of the grassland with the same strength or even more than double the strength.
As he expected, during this time, whether it was the reinforcements from Dengzhou Wei or the Ming reinforcements from Kaifeng Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion, they were all wiped out and defeated by the Tatar wolf cavalry before they formed a large-scale military formation. Only the army from Datong Prefecture in Shanxi Province fought several tragic battles with the Tatars at the junction of Shanxi and Zhili because it was also an important border town of the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, the Tatar wolf cavalry was incapable of defeating the Ming army in Datong Province, and the reinforcements of Datong Province were also unable to take a step forward, so they were stuck in the position of the border between the two provinces.
However, according to the information obtained by the scouts, the general army of Datong has begun to issue military orders, so that all the soldiers in Shanxi will move closer to him, and even collect some of the defeated troops in other places who are panicking.
In this way, it is possible to form a huge army of 50,000.
The little prince calculated in his heart, the strength of the defenders of Datong Mansion should not be underestimated, but as long as he was not allowed to advance, the little prince still believed that the soldiers under his command could do it.
"Dispatch another 10,000 elites from Juyong Pass to Dadu, and transfer 10,000 horsemen from the Kyoto area to help Shanxi, you can do it!" The little prince touched his chin and became smaller: "The next step is simple, our army will go all out to conquer Dadu." It is believed that after so many days of cannon fodder destruction, the Ming army guards in most of the capital are already at the end of their crossbows. ”
"Zhongerlang obeys the order, take the capital within five days, and recover the Great Yuan!"
