From 1 to 3 June, a large number of twists and turns were made to the military department and the cabinet in three days.

Azig led 100,000 Houjin Tartars, entered the pass from Xifengkou, and began to attack Juyong Pass and Changping Mansion, Jianfeng pointed out, it was the Beijing Division, for a while, the cabinet and the military department were in chaos, some people suggested mobilizing the Datong border army to meet the Houjin Tartars, some suggested mobilizing the border troops in the Shanhaiguan area, blocking the Houjin Tartars, of course, there were also suggestions to mobilize the voice of the Jiangning battalion, this voice was weaker, the key was that the distance between the Jiangning battalion and the Beijing division was too far.

Yang Sichang's intestines are about to repent.

At the beginning, he still listened to Su Tiancheng's prediction, but he didn't expect that Houjin would come up with such a big momentum, 100,000 Tartars, where can ordinary armies contend with. He didn't expect it at all, and he didn't go to the court, and now he is a little at a loss when faced with such a situation.

hurried to the cabinet, and along the way, he was thinking about how to answer the questions of the cabinet chief assistant Wen Tiren.

Sure enough, after Wen Tiren saw him, there was no greeting.

"Lord Yang, 100,000 Houjin Tartars, entered the pass from Xifeng Pass, only more than 500 miles away from Jingshi, the affairs of Chongzhen's second year are vivid, there can't be such a situation, you see how to deal with it."

"My lord, Xiaguan has Lord Zhang's twists and turns, Lord Zhang suggested dispatching the Jiangning battalion to guard the Beijing division and resist the Houjin Tartars, Xiaguan thinks that this suggestion can still be adopted."

"It has been three days since the Houjin Tartars entered Xifengkou, and the cabinet got a report that the Tartars are attacking Juyongguan and Changping Mansion, and it is only a matter of time before they take these two places, and Changping Mansion is only more than a hundred miles away from Jingshi. In such a situation, how is the military department prepared to deal with it? ”

Yang Sichang's face turned pale, what he was most worried about was this problem, the Ningjin defense line and the Datong area were all heavily armed. Only in the distance from Xifengkou to Jingshi, there are not many sergeants, and Yan Qingwei's military strength, he is clear, thinking about resisting the attack of the Tartars, there is basically no great possibility.

Seeing that Yang Sichang didn't speak, Wen Tiren sighed.

"This official knows that you have just taken office, and you suddenly encountered such a big thing. It is difficult to have a good response for a while, but the emperor is still very anxious, the military department should come up with a plan as soon as possible, and the cabinet still approves the matter of dispatching the Jiangning battalion. ”

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Zhu Youzhen's face turned pale.

Above the royal case. In front of a large stack of folds, they are all folds of the Houjin Tartar entering the customs from the Xifeng Pass. Zhu Youzhen was a little panicked in his heart, and it was Azig who led the Tartars to attack, this person is Nurhachi's son, and he has been fighting since he was a child, and he is very fierce, this time. The 100,000-strong army of the Tartars invaded the pass, did they want to attack the capital?

Within the distance from Xifengkou to the capital, there were not many sergeants, most of them were guards in some places, and these sergeants had limited resistance ability. It is impossible to fight against the Houjin Tartars, even if it is the Datong border army, the border army of the Ningjin defense line, can only defend in the city, and it is not very possible to really think about the field war against the Houjin Tartars.

All the methods have been thought of, and it seems that there is only one way out of the Jiangning camp.

However, the Jiangning camp is close to two thousand miles away from the Beijing Division, even if it receives the order of the imperial court, it will be at least half a month later to make a little preparation and rush to the Beijing Division.

The battalion of the Beijing division did not dare to move, and it was necessary to protect the safety of the Beijing division.

Wen Tiren, Yang Sichang and the others entered the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Zhu Youzhen's face was slightly better.

"Wen Aiqing, Yang Aiqing, have you ever had any good solutions?"

Of course, Wen Tiren and Yang Sichang understand, and at this time, it is superfluous to say other words.

Wen Tiren spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that guarding the safety of the Beijing division is the most important duty, and the minister suggests that 50,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp be mobilized to enter the capital, and from tomorrow, the Beijing division will be under martial law, close the city gate, and strictly check the personnel who enter the Beijing division, and there will be 50,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp to escort it, presumably there is no danger in the Beijing division for the time being, and at the same time strictly order Liang Tingdong, the governor of Datong, to mobilize a large army, and rush to Changping to guard, and all the soldiers in Juyongguan, Changping, and Yanqing garrisons must go all out to resist the Houjin Tartars."

Zhu Youzhen didn't have a smile on his face, such an arrangement was already in his imagination, and the key now is not to worry about the Houjin Tatars attacking the capital, but many places in Gyeonggi, if they are harassed and looted by the Houjin again, it will form a major blow to the imperial court, and just protecting the capital can have much effect.

After Wen Tiren finished speaking, Yang Sichang spoke.

"Your Majesty, as the secretary of the military department, the minister cannot predict the offensive of Houjin, and cannot make timely deployments, the minister is guilty, please punish the emperor."

"Okay, this is not the time to be held accountable, Yang Aiqing has any good suggestions, say it quickly."

"The minister thought that he would mobilize the Jiangning camp and rush to Changping to fight against the Houjin Tartars."

Zhu Youzhen's brows furrowed.

"Oh, mobilize the Jiangning camp, is it too late?"

"The minister thinks that the military situation is urgent, and the Jiangning battalion will be able to reach the Beijing division within ten days."

"Okay, the cabinet will immediately plan to issue a Chen, and I will approve it today, and quickly mobilize the Jiangning camp to resist the Houjin Tartars."

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen were left.

"Father-in-law, I heard that Houjin invaded my Daming, Su Tiancheng had expected it, but I didn't notice it, this is what I regret."

"Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that Lord Su's prediction is very accurate, but he may not have thought that Houjin would send so many Tartars, Lord Su holds the secret line of Jinyi Guard, and must have learned the information that Houjin invaded my Daming, and the slave maid estimates that the Jiangning camp may be ready, if the order is made quickly, presumably the Jiangning camp can rush to the capital as quickly as possible."

"Well, what you said makes sense, it's just that what task should the Jiangning battalion undertake, whether it is to protect the Beijing Division, or to fight against the Houjin Tartars, I am very hesitant, I don't have many elite soldiers, the Jiangning battalion is second to none, if the Jin Tartars suffer major losses after this fight, I really feel heartache."

"The emperor can let Lord Su choose by himself."

"Well, the only one who can directly confront the Tartars is the Jiangning Battalion."

No one would have thought that Lu Xiangsheng led 7,000 soldiers to hold Juyong Pass for three days.

After the Houjin sergeant made peace in Yanqing, the soldiers were divided into two roads, all the way to attack Juyong Pass, all the way to Tianshou Mountain, Tianshou Mountain is the tomb of Ming Xizong, the three thousand soldiers guarding Tianshou Mountain, the whole army was annihilated, and the rest of the Ming army did not dare to rush to help, seeing that the Houjin Tartars burned the tomb of Ming Xizong.

Azig personally led a sergeant to attack Juyong Pass, in his opinion, taking Juyong Pass is a matter of blink of an eye, but he didn't expect that the bone of Juyong Pass is so difficult to gnaw.

Lu Xiangsheng went out.

Relying on the city wall of Juyongguan and the dangerous terrain, Lu Xiangsheng divided 7,000 soldiers into two batches, with 4,000 people guarding the city wall and 3,000 people as reserves.

The most important thing is that Lu Xiangsheng leads by example, always standing at the forefront, no matter how fierce the attack of the Houjin Tartar is, he will not retreat.

The power of the example is endless, the governor of Liaodong is standing at the front, personally killing the enemy, what else do the rest of the people have to say, Wang Pu originally thought, he withdrew with a false shot, and hurried back to Changping Fucheng, where it was relatively safe, I didn't expect Lu Xiangsheng to be so powerful, he was not allowed to retreat at all, there was no way, he also risked his life, and urged the sergeant to play his life to guard.

The vast majority of the cavalry led by Azig were cavalry, and the cavalry attacked the city, and the effect was not very good.

Besides, there are several large general's cannons on the Juyong Pass, and the cavalry is most afraid of this thing.

After three consecutive days of attacking, Juyong Pass became a sea of blood, Azig's eyes were red, and he was furious, and he couldn't imagine that a small Juyong Pass could not be taken down in three days.

In the early morning of the fourth day, he issued an order that Juyong Pass must be taken today, otherwise the officer in charge of the attack will be beheaded for public display.

When the black pressed sergeant rushed forward, it was very quiet above Juyong Pass, and there was almost no movement.

The officer in charge of the attack thought that Yu Lu had seen some formation, and he didn't understand it, but the military order had already been signed, and there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, and he was going to attack.

The sergeant went all the way to the bottom of Juyong Pass, and did not see the bow and crossbow and artillery launched, and the officer suddenly understood something, and madly demanded that the sergeant attack all the way.

Azig stood on top of Juyong Pass, his eyes green with anger.

Unexpectedly, the defenders of Juyong Pass were all evacuated overnight, for many years, he led the troops to attack the Ming army, all of them went to the glorious victory, this time he actually suffered a defeat, he was unwilling, this breath, must be recovered.

Lu Xiangsheng received Zhang Fengyi's order, quickly evacuated Juyong Pass, rushed to Changping Mansion, although he did not want to evacuate, but the military order fell like a mountain, the other way after the Golden Tartar, has broken through Tianshou Mountain, from behind the siege of Changping Mansion, in this case, the Ming army must shrink all the forces to defend Changping Mansion.

Changping Mansion can't be easily lost, otherwise the Jingshi is in front of you.

At times like these, you have to focus on the big picture.

Lu Xiangsheng also knows that in fact, he can't hold Juyong Pass, after three days of fierce fighting, 7,000 sergeants, more than 3,000 people have been lost, and less than 4,000 people are left, no one knows how long they can guard, the key is that there is no news of reinforcements for the time being, the morale of the sergeants is getting lower and lower, knowing that there is no hope for Ludao, who will always maintain a high fighting spirit, if he hadn't been at the forefront, the team would have collapsed long ago.

How long Changping Mansion can be guarded, he is not sure in his heart.

The Houjin Tartars led by Azig this time are elite troops, not afraid of death, attacking the city and pulling out the village to avoid losses, after three days of fierce fighting, the loss of the Tartars will not exceed 1,000 people, in the face of such a Tartar, I am afraid that the only way to dispatch the Jiangning battalion is to do so.
