readx; Just as the balance of victory and defeat began to tilt towards the Houjin army again, a Ming cavalry in the oblique stab was killed, and the leader was actually Sun Chengzong, a scholar of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Dongge University. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This Ming army appeared too at a timely time. What Zhu Youzhen feared most was that the Houjin army would not fight him head-on, but would use the cavalry 'shooting' tactic they were best at to attack the mule carts carrying artillery, and the Houjin army had already begun to do so.

However, the arrival of this Ming army suddenly changed the balance of power on the battlefield. Originally, the Houjin army had a slight advantage in strength, but Sun Chengzong's army had at least six or seven thousand people, with two thousand cavalry in front and several thousand infantry behind. Together with Zhu Youzhen's light cavalry, it was nearly 10,000 people, reaching three times the size of the Houjin army.

If it is on the battlefield of Liaodong, even if it is more than three times the Ming army, Ao Bai is not afraid. But today is an exception, first, the Andalusian war horse just now, the yellow flag cavalry was a little caught off guard; The second is that Ao Bai now knows that this place is too close to the Beijing Division, and although the support army that came doesn't look good, who knows if there will be more reinforcements to kill later? After all, he only has 3,000 troops, and if he gets encircled, it will be a big trouble.

Therefore, Ao Bai didn't dare to fight, and shouted in the true language of 'female', and the Jin army retreated like a 'tide'. At this time, the advantages of the strong endurance of the 'Meng' Guma and the good running of long roads were reflected, and the Andalusian horse had significantly reduced its speed after the 'fierce' battle just now, and the Ming army watched the enemy retreat, and had the intention to chase after it, but it couldn't catch up, and it was so angry that it scolded.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly gathered his men, after all, the purpose of this battle had been achieved, the artillery was intact, and although this trip to Dagu was full of dangers, it was finally back.

At this time, Sun Chengzong also hurriedly rode over. This old man was really angry, and he yelled at Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, why did you sneak out of the palace again?" Fortunately, the old minister came in time, in case of loss, His Majesty will put the ancestral foundation and the people of the world where is it! ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't have palpitations. When I charged into battle just now, I relied on the courage to break the cauldron and sink the boat, but I didn't feel anything; But now that I think about it, if I had been 'shot' by a cold arrow and killed, or even captured by the Houjin army, everything would have really been over.

Thinking of this, the sweat on his forehead couldn't help but trickle down, and he smiled reluctantly at Sun Chengzong: "Lord Shangshu is responsible, I am a little hasty. However, I also have the difficulty of having to go out in person, so it's a long story, so let's go back to Beijing first. ”

Sun Chengzong also had to clean up the battlefield with Zhu Youzhen. Although this battle was not long, the casualties of the Ming army were quite heavy, with nearly 300 light cavalry killed in the 3,000 battalion and 500 wounded, most of whom were wounded by the sharp arrows of the 'Nu' Zhenren. Sun Chengzong led the official army of Tongzhou Wei, and as soon as they arrived, the Houjin army withdrew, but in such a short time, there were more than 100 casualties.

Later, the casualties of the Jin army were much smaller. Although they were charged by the Andalusian war horses and there was a brief rout, the 'female' true cavalry had a keen sense of smell on the battlefield after decades of continuous fighting, and even in extremely unfavorable situations, they could at least protect themselves. In such a 'fierce' and fierce 'melee' battle, the Houjin army only left dozens of corpses, and the casualties were less than one-tenth of that of the Ming army.

There are many veteran soldiers of the Qin soldiers who fought with thieves and fought with the 'Mongolian' ancients in the past, and they can gain the upper hand, so they are naturally a little proud, and they feel that the 'female' real people may not be very powerful. In today's battle, I know that there are people outside the world, and if it is an upright field battle, I am afraid that after another ten years of training, they are not the opponents of the 'female' real person.

The Jingshi was more than ten miles northwest, Zhu Youzhen and Sun Chengzong walked side by side, and the three 'women' had to retreat behind. In the battle just now, the red lady relied on her superb martial arts, not only unscathed, but also helped Zhu Youzhen knock out a lot of arrows. But Anna and Tyulina were not so lucky, both of them were hit by an arrow in the shoulder, but fortunately, the 'flesh' was not deep and did not reach the bone.

If she had been an ordinary 'woman' and had been injured by a sharp arrow, she would have cried in pain. The two of them silently pulled out their arrows, took off their armor, 'exposed' their bloody shoulders, and simply bandaged them with a strip of cloth from their clothes. Zhu Youzhen felt deeply remorseful, and was embarrassed to comfort Sun Chengzong with gentle words; The second 'woman' only smiled at him, and then chatted in Portuguese.

Zhu Youzhen had to smile bitterly, and then listened to Sun Chengzong's report. It turned out that Sun Chengzong had been ordered to go to Tongzhou to preside over the retreat, and immediately flew out of Beijing, and now he has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights.

Originally, Sun Chengzong had always been angry with Zhu Youzhen for giving up the Guanningjin defense line he had built and retreating to Shanhaiguan. But this time, Huang Taiji broke through the pass from Xifengkou and taught him a lesson with bloody facts. It was only now that he understood why Zhu Youzhen said that his strategy was "yard bunker", which was useless at all.

However, it was too late to regret it, tens of millions of taels of military salaries and tens of thousands of border troops' lives, so they were thrown in Liaodong in vain, and as a result, Huang Taiji did not attack Shanhaiguan at all, and directly detoured to the ancient grassland of 'Mongolia' to kill the Beijing division!

Therefore, Sun Chengzong was extremely frightened, but also admired Zhu Youzhen so much. Three years ago, Zhu Youzhen was only fourteen years old, and he was only a vassal king who lived deep in the palace, and his knowledge was far beyond his own, and he expected that the Houjin army would kill him sooner or later; After ascending the throne, he eliminated the eunuchs by thunderous means, and personally braved the arrows and stones, and withdrew the Liaodong border army to Shanhaiguan in time. The emperor has such a great talent, and he, an old man, doesn't have to worry about it, as long as he does things well according to the emperor's instructions!

So this time Zhu Youzhen ordered him to preside over the retreat of Tongzhou, although Sun Chengzong was a little unable to figure it out (his thoughts were basically the same as Hao Yongzhong), but if he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to, and still resolutely implemented Zhu Youzhen's holy decree.

Tongzhou as an important town in Gyeonggi and the end of the Grand Canal, the city has a large population, and the goods sent to Beijing from all over the country gather here, and there are nearly 10,000 troops stationed in Tongzhou Wei, one of the 26 guards of the Ming Dynasty, and it is extremely difficult to withdraw to Beijing in a very short time. There are many wealthy merchants who are reluctant to leave, thinking that if they are so close to Beijing, the imperial court will definitely send troops to protect Tongzhou, and the Tartars may not be able to fight here.

Sun Chengzong, on the other hand, was unceremonious, and immediately issued a strict order after entering the city: The soldiers and civilians of the city, regardless of men, women, old and young, must withdraw to the capital within three days, otherwise they will be immediately killed!

As the saying goes, "a broken family is worth ten thousand", not to mention that there are many rich families in Tongzhou City. On the first day, many people were busy packing up their belongings and preparing to take everything they could take away, and the number of people who had evacuated to Jingshi was less than 100 households.

Sun Chengzong was really anxious, so the next day he simply sent officials and soldiers to search people door to door, as long as they were found, they would be immediately escorted to Beijing!

Under this "brutal" approach, Tongzhou is now an empty city, at least demographically. Early this morning, Sun Chengzong climbed to the top of the city after inspecting the whole city, wanting to overlook the whole city and see if there were any people left. But he didn't want to find a Houjin cavalry fighting fiercely with a team of Ming troops, so he led the army to help.

Zhu Youjian smiled after hearing this: "This is really called 'yin' and yang. But in any case, I and Lord Shangshu have returned to Beijing safely, and it will be up to us to see if the Tartars have the courage to attack the city! ”
