From the time when the Qing army had not yet entered the customs, Zhu Youzhen was arranging a very large game of chess. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info In history, the Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly the inferior side, controlled everywhere, passively beaten everywhere, and in the end, not only did the Qing army grab a lot of money and go away, but the Ming Dynasty also lost the generals Zhao Shujiao and Man Gui, Yuan Chonghuan was also imprisoned, and almost forced the Liaodong border army that rebelled against Zu Dashou.

However, due to Zhu Youzhen's crossing, the content of this game of chess has been completely different. In terms of military strength, Zhu Youzhen still cannot compare with his opponent Huang Taiji. But since he knew that the Qing army would definitely bypass the Shanhai Pass and enter the customs, he naturally had an overall layout for the defense of the Beijing Division. In particular, the rush to build the outer city of Beijing is the first to anticipate the enemy, and fundamentally ensures that he is invincible.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen also miscalculated, such as underestimating the suddenness of the Qing army's attack and its excellent maneuverability. It was precisely because of his mistake that the general Zhao Shujiao would be sacrificed, and Zhu Youzhen had to take the risk of going to Dagu to receive firearms from the Portuguese.

However, since then, the war situation has been developing according to Zhu Youzhen's expectations. Whether it was the repeated defeat of the Qing army under the city of Beijing, or the fact that Lu Xiangsheng and Hao Yongzhong used the terrain to launch a surprise attack on the Qing army's two partial divisions, they were all carried out within the general framework formulated by Zhu Youzhen. Because of the correct strategy, the generals had the opportunity to give full play to their military talents. Otherwise, if Zhu Youzhen had forced the Shanhaiguan and Xuanda border armies to rescue the Jingshi from the very beginning, as many ministers tried to request, I am afraid that the two Ming armies would have been wiped out halfway.

And now, it's finally time to see the poor dagger. Zhu Youzhen prepared two deadly sharp knives for Huang Taiji, one was Li Laiheng's tiger mouth extraction, and burned the Tongzhou granary under Huang Taiji's nose; And the other one is Li Dingguo, who mysteriously disappeared in Xuanfu, and his 4,000 light cavalry.

Zhu Youzhen gave Li Dingguo only one combat mission: to block the Qing army when it withdrew from the Guanwai.

It's easy to say, but it's a daunting task. Although the Qing army lost its troops, its vitality was not injured, and there were still more than 100,000 troops; Li Dingguo had only 4,000 men, and he had returned from a long journey in Guizhou, and according to normal thinking, this battle could not be fought at all.

But Zhu Youzhen didn't plan to let Li Dingguo and the Qing army fight hard. When Li Dingguo was still in Guizhou, Zhu Youzhen passed the book through the flying pigeon and repeatedly discussed this key battle in the future with him. Li Dingguo was also good at using tactics, and the two hit it off and worked out such a combat plan.

This battle plan is simply as follows: Li Dingguo's troops avoided all Qing troops, secretly exited the customs from Xuanfu, made a detour through the Mongolian steppe to Xifengkou, and set up an ambush at Xifengkou to wait for the Qing army.

In order to implement this combat plan, the most crucial point is that the Qing army must return by the same route as it was from Xifengkou. Otherwise, there are hundreds of miles from Xuanfu to Shanhaiguan, and the Qing army can exit the customs from any point, and Li Dingguo's ambush will be meaningless.

However, Zhu Youzhen always believed that the possibility of the Qing army returning from Xifengkou was very high, and the development of the war also confirmed his judgment. Obviously, the Qing army occupied Jizhou, Zunhua and other places for the convenience of retreat. Zhu Youzhen took a gamble and asked Li Dingguo to set up an ambush at Xifengkou in advance. If Huang Taiji "doesn't take the usual path" and has to find another way out of the customs, Zhu Youzhen can only think that he is unlucky.

But Huang Taiji still returned the same way according to the normal way of thinking, and Li Dingguo's ambush came in handy. On the same day, after he received the seven-day military rations raised by Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Xuanda, in Xuanfu, he immediately set up troops to leave the customs in the starry night, and it took only one day to arrive at Xifengkou along the grassland at the northern foot of Yanshan.

This is also a blind spot of the Qing army, they thought that the reinforcements of the Ming army would definitely come directly, but unexpectedly, Li Dingguo secretly crossed Chencang and detoured from the grassland outside the actual control of the Ming Dynasty. Originally, this was the sphere of influence of the Mongolian Duoyan Tribe, but since the defeat at Zunhua three years ago, the Duoyan Tribes have been in a slump and do not dare to wander around the Great Wall. Therefore, this area has become a vacuum area, which is just conducive to the entry of troops.

However, Xifengkou itself is only a very small fortress, and it has been burned down by the Qing army, so it is of course unrealistic to expect to defend the city and block the Qing army. However, Li Dingguo has already planned, and he and Li Laiheng's choices are the same, they are both fire attacks!

However, Li Laiheng's fire attack was a single knife straight in, while Li Dingguo was different, his fire attack was divided into two parts: virtual and real. The imaginary part is the fire on the grassland, and he also knows that this fire alone will not bring many casualties to the Qing army, Li Dingguo's real intention is to use this fire to attract the attention of the Qing army, and the real killing move is in the pass.

At this moment, Li Dingguo personally led 300 skilled subordinates, under the cover of night and terrain, to touch the side of the Qing army, and the straight-line distance was only twenty or thirty steps, but the Qing army was still unaware.

Of course, Li Dingguo still has a "follower" who can't get rid of him, that is, Ma Qianxue. He didn't want Ma Qianxue to take the risk, but when Ma Qianxue heard that he didn't let him go, he immediately made a lot of noise, and finally cried.

This is called one thing descending from one thing. Li Dingguo is brilliant in wisdom and scheming, and Zhu Youzhen also gave him the greatest trust, as long as he participated in the battle, let him serve as the supreme commander of the battlefield. But this Miss Ma didn't care about Li Dingguo's identity at all, and there were two reasons over and over again: first, Li Dingguo was the main general, and malaria just happened to be in charge, so she couldn't charge into battle in person, so she had to be protected; Second, as a representative of the white pole soldiers, this time she traveled thousands of miles north to kill the Tartars, and if you Li Dingguo didn't let her go to the battlefield, you just looked down on her and the white pole soldiers!

Li Dingguo was helpless, so he had to let Ma Qianxue follow him. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Ma Qianxue was going into battle in person, and without waiting for Li Dingguo's consent, she had already slipped down the mountain like an agile leopard. Li Dingguo just wanted to stop it too late, so he had to order all his subordinates in a low voice: "Cheer up and do your best to protect Miss Ma!" ”

Of course, Ma Qianxue is not all willful, she has been deeply taught martial arts by Qin Liangyu since she was a child, and under this kind of mountainous terrain, she is even more comfortable in action. After only a few ups and downs, she quietly pasted a few baggage trucks outside the tent of the Qing military camp, leaned back against the body to face Li Dingguo, and winked at Li Dingguo playfully.

At this time, the tent door suddenly opened, and a soldier came out, yawning and walking towards the baggage cart. The hearts of Li Dingguo and the others suddenly rose to their throats, if Ma Qianxue was discovered, there would be Qing military camps all around, and she would not be able to escape even if she had wings!

Just when Li Dingguo was about to rush down and force his hand to rescue Ma Qianxue, Ma Qianxue waved his hand at him, and then like a raccoon cat, he got under the baggage truck.
