Chapter 1003 Returning to Beijing in Danger

readx; Soldiers are fast. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After receiving the artillery and war horses from the Portuguese, Zhu Youzhen and 3,000 light cavalry set off for Beijing overnight. They loaded the artillery onto the mule cart that had been preparing in Dagu for several months, and desperately urged the convoy to hurry.

Zhu Youzhen knew very well in his heart that the return journey was very dangerous. Now there is a 'chaos' and 'chaos' between Jingshi and Tianjin Wei, and it is possible to bump into the Houjin army at any time. If it was a small force like the one I encountered yesterday, it would be fine, but if it ran into an enemy army of more than 1,000 people, or even the main force of the 'Jurgy' True Eight Banners, it would be a big trouble. After all, the speed of the mule cart could not catch up with the cavalry, and even if these 3,000 men and horses could escape back to the Beijing Division, all those artillery pieces would fall into the hands of the enemy.

Therefore, he ordered Hao Yongzhong to scatter all the scouts, and within twenty miles of the front and back, as long as he found traces of the 'female' real person, he would report back immediately. If it is a small force, try to destroy it; If it's a large enemy force, you have to find a way to get around.

The night march was better, but after the Tianjin Guard, the sky was bright, the enemy situation continued, and the whole team had to stop and go. It was not until noon that he arrived outside Wuqing County. Wuqing is still more than 150 miles away from Jingshi, and at this speed, even if you walk for two days and two nights, you won't be able to get there.

Since I left the palace in the early morning yesterday morning, it has been more than a day now. Except for Queen Rui'er, Zhu Youzhen didn't tell anyone. At this juncture, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are probably already crazy, and Zhu Youzhen himself is also anxious.

But at this moment, the scouts in front pushed and shoved back a Houjin army. This guy is a Han military banner Han 'traitor', his bones are much softer than yesterday's white-armored soldiers, and he was so frightened that his face was 'pale', and he begged for mercy repeatedly.

Under the sudden interrogation, Zhu Youzhen obtained important information about the changes in the battlefield situation. After the Jin army occupied Zunhua and Jizhou, it did not stop, and now the troops are divided into three routes. The strongest main force, that is, the three banners of Zhenghuang, inlaid yellow, and Zhengbai led by Huang Taiji, as well as the Zhenglan banner of Mang Gurtai, have already marched westward to force Tongzhou, and the next step will soon be under the city of Beijing.

The white flags inlaid under the command of Erbel Amin and some of the 'Mongolian' ancient eight banners marched eastward, attacking Yongping, Qian'an, Funing and other places, and at the same time completely cutting off the official road between Shanhaiguan and Jingshi.

The Zhenghongqi and the inlaid red flags under the command of Dabeile Daishan and his son Yue Tuo bypassed the Jingshi from Pinggu, Shunyi, and Changping counties to the north of the Jingshi and took Yanqing.

The rest of the blue flags, led by the new flag owner and Huang Taiji's eldest son, Hao Ge, marched south from Jizhou. Yesterday, in one day, we had already taken Sanhe, Baodi, Xianghe, and other counties, and this morning we occupied Dong'an County without bloodshed.

Zhu Youzhen was shocked when he heard the news. Because he knew that Dong'an County was the Langfang area in his previous life, and it was the only way to return to Beijing. Although the blue flag is weaker among the eight banners, after all, it is an army of the whole banner, with a strength of at least 10,000 or more, and he only has 3,000 light cavalry, and he is still driving a heavy mule cart, how can he pass smoothly?

He hurriedly discussed countermeasures with Hao Yongzhong. Hao Yongzhong also frowned and said: "The last general really didn't expect that the Tartars are really powerful with soldiers!" These four roads have their own uses, the east road stares at the Shanhaiguan, the west road blocks the way of Xuan and the big reinforcements, the middle road directly threatens the Beijing division, and the south road guards against other Qinwang soldiers and horses. Moreover, the Tatar cavalry has strong mobility, and if we fight him any way, the other roads will quickly come to help and give us a counter-encirclement. ”

Zhu Youzhen said in a deep voice: "It's okay to say that the three partial divisions are okay, I have asked Shanhaiguan, Xuanda reinforcements and the soldiers and horses of the South Road Qinwang not to act rashly, although they can't destroy the Tartars, at least they can protect themselves." The trickiest thing is the middle road, that is, the way of Huang Taiji. Now we must immediately return to Beijing to set up defenses, but now that Dong'an County has fallen and the way back has been cut off, how do you say we should get there? ”

Hao Yongzhong pondered for a moment and said, "Saint, there are three routes to choose from: southern, central, and northern. The middle road is to rush directly from Dong'an County, this road is the shortest, but since the Tartar army is already there, we will definitely be wiped out if we go over like this, so it is absolutely impossible.

"The South Road is to bypass the Yongqing, Bazhou, and Gu'an areas in the south of Dong'an County, and then turn due north to return to Jingshi. In this way, it is a big circle, and the distance is increased by at least a hundred miles. And with the speed of the Tartars' march, it is quite possible that by the time we get there, the Tartars' vanguard has already arrived, and there is still a possibility of an encounter.

"The north road is from the north of Dong'an County, the south of Xianghe and Tongzhou. This road is not too far, but it is already within the control of the Tartars, and it is sandwiched between the main army of the blue flag and the Tartars, as long as the slightest accident is discovered by the Tartars, the consequences are unimaginable. From the point of view of the last general, the south road is slightly safer. Please make a decision. ”

Zhu You listened and thought about it repeatedly, and subconsciously paced back and forth, unable to make a decision. To be sure, none of the three routes are truly safe, and the south route is only slightly better. Once you encounter the main force of the Houjin Army, not only may you be defeated and die, but these 3,000 men and horses may be wiped out, and even the entire Ming Empire may collapse in an instant! One of his current decisions is related to the safety of hundreds of millions of people and the rise and fall of the Chinese nation for hundreds of years, so how can Zhu Youzhen not hesitate!

But time is pressing, and Zhu Youzhen is no longer allowed to hesitate. He finally took a deep breath and said, "I've decided, take the north road!" ”

Hao Yongzhong was shocked: "But the saint, the north road..."

"Of course I know that the North Road is very risky." Zhu Youzhen not only comforted Hao Yongzhong, but also cheered himself up, "But it will take an extra day to take the south road, or even longer, and I really can't afford to delay." Although the northern road is within the control of the Tartars, the Tartars will certainly focus on areas that have not yet been invaded, and may not pay attention to the areas that have already been occupied. Besides, the owner of the blue flag is Hauge, and I have dealt with him, this is a brave and unscrupulous guy. Let's go under his nose, maybe we can get through the 'blind' and 'mixed' tests. Of course, if it is discovered, it can only blow up all these artillery, as long as people can withdraw to the Beijing Division. ”

Now that Zhu Youzhen had made a decision, Hao Yongzhong immediately shouted loudly: "Holy Lord, rest assured! But with my Hao Yongzhong here, I will be able to escort the saint and this batch of artillery back to Beijing safely! Herald: Pull it out now! ”

At the sound of the order, 3,000 light cavalry and dozens of mule carts immediately got off the official road and 'inserted' diagonally from the field to the northwest. Although the crops are trampled on countless times, there is no way to control so much now.

At two o'clock, a large group of people quietly passed through the farmland only a few miles away from the county seat of Dong'an. There was a faint sound of crying and shouting in the city, and thick smoke rose into the sky, thinking that the Houjin army was abusing the city. All the soldiers gritted their teeth with hatred, Zhu Youzhen also clenched his fists, and secretly said in his heart: This blood feud must be repaid in the future!
