413 Outside the Naturalized City
After the farewell at the city gate, Duoduo confidently took 30,000 elite Manchu Eight Banners to go to the outside of the pass, this time, with the cooperation of Dolgon and Duoduo two brothers, the Manchu court took out the most powerful force it could, hoping to capture Xi'an in one fell swoop and destroy the Ming court in Shaanxi.

You know, after decades of development, the Eight Banners Force, as the most high-end force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was only more than 100,000 when Dolgon entered the customs, but in the battle after entering the customs, first in Tongguan, Shi Lei annihilated 20,000 Eight Banners in one fell swoop, and then, when Azig went south, he took away 30,000 people, and finally, not long ago, in order to support Azig's southern war, Ao Bai also led 20,000 people to leave Beijing, and then there are the troops lost during this period of time, this kind of seven calculations are calculatedIn the city of Beijing, there are only 50,000 Eight Banners left, and some of them are Manchu young people who have just been conscripted into the army, let alone fighting, and they have not even been on the battlefield, of course, these people are only a small part.
And the remaining 50,000 Eight Banners in Beijing City, but the last capital of the Manchu Qing court, which is used to garrison Beijing City, protect all the Manchu high-level emperors, and also at the most critical juncture, used to retreat as a guarantee, originally, under any circumstances, these 50,000 people are impossible to be transferred, but this time under the union of the two Dolgon brothers, plus the big news that Duoduo got, after some debate, in the end, the court still passed the plan to let Duoduo lead an army of 30,000 to attack Xi'an. Of course, there are also reasons why many officials do not want to offend the Dorgon brothers, and it does not mean that they are willing to support the plan.
This time, in order to be able to take Xi'an City as quickly as possible, so as to ensure the victory of this battle, Duoduo did not take the usual nearest route, that is, he was not prepared to pass through Shanxi, so as to enter Tongguan, and finally arrive at the route under Xi'an City, but unexpectedly, walked towards the outside of the pass.
And Duoduo's marching route was also supported by many officials of the Manchu court, because, if Duoduo wanted to pass through Shanxi, and then attack Tongguan, and finally reach Xi'an City, in that case, let alone take advantage of the chaos to take Xi'an City, I am afraid that when the daylilies are cold, they may not be able to enter Shaanxi, after all, the current Shanxi is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Manchu Qing court, after such a long time of governance by the Shaanxi Ming Court, it is simply delusional to want to pass through Shanxi smoothly, As for Tongguan, not to mention, it is a Tianjian, and any enemy who wants to pass through him will be knocked to the head and bleeding, without any gain.
However, it is different from the outside of the pass, you must know that although Shi Lei has surrendered one after another on the grassland, the two steppe tribes of the Suwan Department and the Tumut tribe, to tell the truth, these two tribes fall on the current Mongolian grassland, which is nothing at all, one is a dilapidated tribe, and the other is also a tribe wandering on the grassland.
Since Lin Dan Khan was defeated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Mongolian tribes who really controlled the steppe were the Horqin tribe, the Heshute tribe and other tribes of Modong Mongolia who first followed the Manchu Qing to attack Lin Dan Khan, after the defeat of Lin Dan Khan, they occupied the most fertile pastures and the best territory on the Mongolian steppe, therefore, their strength has also increased greatly, and even with the current Manchu court, they are not necessarily the opponents of these Mongolian tribes, fortunately, between the Manchus and these Mongolian tribes, after many generations of marriage, Mutual interests are also interlinked.
Therefore, this time Duoduo's plan is to send troops from the grassland, and then use the power of these Mongolian tribes on the grassland to break through the defense of the Great Wall of the Ming army, and then quickly attack the city of Xi'an, at that time, as long as they arrive at the city of Xi'an, with the hidden weapons that have been prepared for a long time, they can easily attack the city of Xi'an, successfully complete the plan, and give Shaanxi Ming Court and Shi Lei a devastating blow.
I have to say that the current Manchu Eight Banners is really a rare elite force in the world, if it weren't for Shi Lei's variable, I'm afraid that the current Eight Banners would have swept the world a long time ago, except for a few places, they have all fallen under their iron hooves, but even with the existence of Shi Lei's variable, the Manchu Eight Banners Army has been hit repeatedly, but their combat effectiveness is still very strong, if it weren't for their numbers are too small, let alone a Shi Lei, Even if there are ten or eight more, they are not necessarily their opponents, because their strength is built on decades of non-stop warfare and fighting with various powerful enemies, and they are not able to deal with them by relying on some changes beyond the times.
But even so, this Eight Banners strong brigade still maintains strong combat effectiveness and fighting spirit, and even those young soldiers who have just entered the barracks quickly integrated into this atmosphere.
Therefore, after they left the city of Beijing, it took less than five days for them to arrive outside the city of Guihua, and here, they had already struck a strong team, which were sent by various Mongol tribes close to the Manchu court to assist Duoduo in breaking through the defense line of the Great Wall, of course, these tribes were large and small, and the quality of the soldiers was also uneven.
Some large tribes with hundreds of thousands of people such as Horqin and Heshute send people to soldiers are all fierce and abnormal, and they also have these basic organizations and disciplines, but some small tribes are different, they are not only small in number, but also very poor in terms of warrior strength and organization.
However, in any case, when Duoduo watched such a large army gather here, his face still couldn't help but leak a smile, for Duoduo, he was not afraid of undiscipline, the most feared thing was that there were no soldiers, even if there were undisciplined soldiers, they were warriors who could fight with knives, so Duoduo was still very satisfied with the actions of these Mongolian tribes.
Although Duoduo also knew that the leaders of these tribes were not necessarily convinced by the Qing Dynasty in their hearts, but those were not important, they just needed them to be obedient, and in the grassland, as long as they were strong, they were not afraid of other people's challenges.
When Duoduo had not yet arrived at the gate of the Naturalization City, he saw a group of cavalry coming towards him quickly, and when many Goshha around him were nervously trying to be on guard, Duoduo couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that the younger brother came this time, and he was able to work for the eldest brother Wu Keshan and the patriarch of Dayan Ezir to greet him personally, this king is really terrified." ”
As Dordor landed, he saw that the fast horse team had stopped not far from them, and then he saw two large men in Mongolian clothes jumping off their horses and walking quickly in front of Dord.
One of these two big men looks a little younger, this is Wu Keshan, who is now the patriarch of the Horqin tribe, the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and the Mongolian tribe closest to the Manchu court. And the other big man, although he is very athletic, from the wrinkles on his face, he is not young, but even so, no one dares to underestimate him, if Horqin can have the current power in the Mongolian steppe, it is caused by the support of the Manchu court behind it, but for the Heshute tribe, they don't need the foil of others at all, because they themselves are representatives of strength.
After uniting with the Manchu court to defeat the heir of the last golden family, Lin Dan Khan, the Heshute tribe did not stay in the grassland-rich Monan, but migrated to the relatively barren but rich land of Qinghai-Tibet, where they defeated the last forces left by Lin Dan Khan, and then seized the actual control of the Mongolian steppe and the Qinghai-Tibet land in Modong, and it is precisely for this reason that their prestige in the Mongolian steppe is also very strong.
Hearing Duoduo's words, Wu Keshan and Dayan Ezir looked at each other, and then Wu Keshan smiled and said, "Brother Duoduo, after we received the news from Brother Duogon, we rushed here very much, I heard that your war in the pass was not going well, so, since we were able to defeat the powerful Junggar tribe together back then, then now dealing with a group of weak Ming dogs, it is not a matter of being able to catch it, so this time we have already thought about it, we are ready to attack the Great Wall with you, Let all the bright dogs see the bravery of our prairie boys. ”
After Duoduo heard Wu Keshan's words, he was stunned at first, and then there was a look of surprise and joy in his heart, the reason why he was stunned was that he did not expect that the news of the defeat of the Manchu court in the war in the Guannei had already spread to the grassland, and the feeling of surprise and joy made him extremely difficult, you know, this attack on Xi'an City, although he had previous preparations, he was still somewhat sure, but he had led the troops for many years, and he deeply understood what it was called, the soldiers were impermanent, and the water was impermanent, so, With the help of these elite soldiers brought by Wu Keshan and the others, he could easily capture Xi'an City.
But on the other hand, Duoduo heard another feeling from the words of Wu Keshan and Dayan Ezier, you know, when the Manchu court was strong before, whether it was the big tribes of Horqin and Heshute, or some inconspicuous small tribes, in front of the Manchu court, they all existed with a low profile, which is why the Manchu Qing Dynasty would specially form the Mongolian Eight Banners Army, not how helpful the Mongols were, but hoping to get certain benefits from it, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was also able to get some benefits in this process. Getting enough soldiers, and also being able to weaken the Mongol tribes, this kind of thing is a multi-pronged thing, everyone is satisfied.
But now, when the Manchu court just leaked bad news on the battlefield in Guannei, these Mongolian tribes, like wolves smelling blood, swarmed here, what want to help him attack the Great Wall, it is clear that seeing that the strength of the Manchu court has dropped greatly, there is no ability to restrict them at all, so they want to take advantage of the chaos in Guanzhong, so as to get some benefits from it, or even more serious, they Mongols also want to take the opportunity to regain the former Dayuan court, This is also something that every Mongolian dreams of.
Although, Duoduo has already deduced the plan of Wu Keshan and others from his heart, but he knows that this time is not the time to turn his face with them at all, first of all, this is Guanwai, if they really tear their faces with Wu Keshan and others, with Duoduo's 30,000 elite Eight Banners Force, although they can fight against their army, but if this is the case, he will no longer be able to sneak attack Xi'an City in the south, which is a huge difference from his original plan, on the other hand, their real enemies now are not these Mongols who took advantage of the fire to rob, After all, if his sneak attack was not successful this time, then Azig and tens of thousands of elite troops who were besieged in Yueyang City by Shi Lei's army would be wiped out by the Ming army, and at that time, the Manchu court would face the dilemma of the country's ruin, and that was what Duoduo did not want to see.
Therefore, after secretly suppressing the angry anger in his heart, Duoduo said to the two with a brighter smile on his face than just now, "Okay, good, good, it's really good, the younger brother is thinking about attacking the Ming Court in Shaanxi with 30,000 people this time, but he didn't expect that the two elder brothers really helped, here, the younger brother thanked the two elder brothers, and when the time comes, after taking the capital of the Ming Court and Xi'an City, the younger brother will definitely play the fourteenth brother and Your Majesty, for the feat of the two elder brothers, Perform the work. ”
Hearing Duoduo's words, Wu Keshan and Dayan Ezir subconsciously glanced at each other, and a look of satisfaction leaked from their eyes at the same time, and then they also laughed with Duoduo, and in an instant, the three of them suddenly became extremely harmonious, as if they were really good friends, but unfortunately, no one could see through the real thoughts in the hearts of the three of them.
...........................
When Duoduo led the troops to join Wu Keshan and other Mongolian troops in Guihua City, in Datong Mansion, Shanxi, a heavily armed army was also making pre-war preparations, although this team was not as strong as the combined strength of Duoduo and Wu Keshan and others, judging from the skillful actions, they were definitely veterans of the war.
"My lord, I just received the news that the leader of the Manchu Tartars, Duoduo, has led an army of 30,000 Manchu Eight Banners to the outside of the Naturalization City, and has already joined the armies of many Mongolian tribes gathered there, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will go south to attack the defense line of the Great Wall, at this time, do we want to do something."
