Chapter 494: Can be a big mid-bounder
After the 5,000 Denglai soldiers under the command of Zhang Ke landed in Tianjinwei, they learned from the defenders of Tianjin that the Jiannu army had been divided into two parts and was wreaking havoc in the northeast and southwest of Gyeonggi. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Zhang Keda was extremely depressed when he heard this, because how the Denglai army arrived in Beijing at this time was a big problem.
This time into Beijing Suwei seems to be more dangerous than the last battle of King Qin, when the last emperor Taiji commanded the army to attack, mainly in the northeast and north of Gyeonggi, Jizhen, Changping, Sicheng, the main major battles mainly appeared there, the west and south of the Jingshi are relatively calm, only the light cavalry of the Mongolian people is raging, the disaster to the people is great, and the threat to the Ming army is not great.
However, this time, the Jiannu chieftain Bel Abatai wandered in Changping, Pinggu, Samhe, Jixian and other places in the northeast of Gyeonggi, while Heshuo Bel Azig and Dolgon were the commanders of the army wreaking havoc in Xiongxian County, Bazhou, in the southwest, and even pointed directly at the fortified city of Baoding, so that the southwest of Gyeonggi was full of fires, and the warning signals were constant, and I didn't know which one was true and which was false.
The large range of activities of these two main forces of Jiannu gave Zhang Ke a headache, and Zhang Ke was uncertain about where to enter Beijing safely.
Zhang Keda thought about how to avoid the main force of Jiannu, but he didn't want to face off with the main force of Jiannu in the field.
Although all the 5,000 soldiers under his command are wearing armor this time, this is also thanks to Zhao Lie's support, but his subordinates lack such top combat power as Zhao Lie.
Without Zhao Lie's department, he didn't think that the Denglai Army still had the combat power to fight against Jiannu, it was impossible.
Since it can't be defeated, how to avoid most of the Jiannu is a critical problem.
In the end, Zhang Keda decided to take the old road of going to Beijing for several years, starting from Tianjin Wei, passing through Gu'an and Zhuozhou into Beijing, this road is more familiar, and a few years ago it has been a day of mountains and rivers The trend is extremely familiar. Moreover, it happened to avoid the Jiannu army in the southwest and northeast directions, so it can be regarded as surviving in the cracks.
After starting from Tianjin Wei, the Denglai soldiers traveled smoothly all the way, and finally arrived in Gu'an County after more than four days.
When he arrived in Gu'an County, Zhang Ke let go of half of his heart, and here he sent hundreds of cavalry to inquire about the movements of the Jiannu army. Although he didn't think that his family could attract so much attention from Jiannu, he was not a big mistake, he couldn't risk thousands of people's lives.
As a result, the news that came back at night was that the two parts of the Jiannu army in the northeast and southwest were still making trouble in their respective areas, and there was no intention of moving here, which meant that this road was very safe at this time, which made Zhang Keda unable to believe his good luck.
Zhang Keda immediately decided to take advantage of this opportunity to go to Zhuozhou as soon as possible, and then enter Jingshi from the south, in his opinion, this opportunity was fleeting. If you don't seize it, I'm afraid there will never be such a good opportunity.
This night, Zhang Keda ordered the soldiers to rest early, and set off for Zhuozhou early the next morning.
At that time, it is easy to choose what to enter Kyoto, at least King Qin has entered Beijing, it is very close to Beijing, and the court and the Son of Heaven can't say anything wrong, and it will be much easier to find an opportunity to enter Beijing when the time comes. After all, Zhuozhou is too close to Jingshi.
This is not to say that Zhang Keda, the chief soldier of Denglai, is not loyal to his duties, but he knows that the combat power under his command is definitely not the enemy's opponent. To be able to fight with Jiannu's tens of thousands of troops in the field is to let the soldiers under his command be sent to death senselessly, and in vain to increase Jiannu's achievements, he will never do this stupid thing.
This night, the north wind outside Gu'an City shouted, and there was no trace of birds and beasts in the wilderness, which made people feel extremely depressed and uneasy.
In a mountain col more than 20 miles southeast of Gu'an County. Thousands of bonfires lit up the entire ravine in the dark night, and a large army hid under the noses of the Gu'an Ming army.
Although it is not far from Gu'an, it is not near the official road, and it is sparsely populated, and the army of Jiannu comes from one after another. It is also to kill all the Ming people encountered on the road, just for fear of leaking military aircraft, of course, adultery and plunder are essential, and now there is no one alive in several villages and people near the left.
Under the orange firelight, the armored soldiers wearing the iron armor of the high lightning rod helmet style are eating hot soup, which is the greatest delicacy in the world to eat hot rice and hot soup in this cold and dark night.
Of course, due to the strict orders of the master, the rough laughter and loud shouts of the Jiannu army were now replaced by whispered conversations, and the high places on all sides were guarded by Jiannu scouts to ensure that the enemy could not detect them.
Next to a huge fire, Azig was munching on a freshly roasted leg of lamb, and a skinned sheep was sizzling on the fire on the campfire, and the fat was dripping down to fuel the fire below.
Dolgon took out the fine iron dagger and cut off a large piece of tender lamb chops, he skillfully rubbed the dagger on the horseshoe sleeve, and then gnawed it up.
"Brother Twelve, don't be so careful, it's just thousands of Ming troops." Dorgon was inarticulate, he didn't approve of being so cautious.
"If there is a Ming army under Zhao Lie's command here, you can't be careless." Azig rattled his brittle bones as if his teeth were made of fine iron.
"That is, there are Zhao Lie's subordinates, but there are only four or five thousand people, even if Zhao Lie brings all the cavalry, our army will face the enemy in the field, or 20,000 armor soldiers and auxiliaries and 10,000 Han troops against thousands of Ming troops, and discipline Zhao Lie's command to come and go."
Dolgon's lamb ribs also rattled and rattled, and it seemed that the two brothers of the same father and mother had a good mouth.
"What do you know, I'm just afraid that the Denglai army will stay in Gu'an if they find out that my army is approaching, and then you will go to capture the fortified city."
Azig glared, he was actually born a violent person, but he was also suppressed and ruthless under Huang Taiji, and at the same time, when Ji Shan, Amin, Mang Gurtai and other big Baylors were in high power, they couldn't help but be a man without his tail between his legs.
Now several big Baylors are dead, imprisoned, and unconcerned, but he has been given the opportunity to lead the army alone, and has made many military exploits, and his authority has become increasingly heavy, and this violent temper has also been revealed.
But Dolgon doesn't eat him, Dolgon is now also the owner of the white flag, and he is in charge of the white flag with Azig, and the two people in the flag are one and a half, and he also occupies the righteousness of the banner owner, which can be said to be equal to Azig.
"Okay, Brother Twelve, just do as you say."
Dolgon continued to fight against the lamb chops without raising his head, of course, as soon as he mentioned attacking with Zhao Lie, Dolgon didn't say much, that was looking for death.
Azig was depressed for a while, but now this old fourteen is different from the past, and he is also the lord of a banner, and he Azig is not the same as he was back then, and now he is becoming more powerful, and the Khan King has been a little wary of him, so it is necessary to win over his younger brother Dolgon.
Azig shook his head and continued to nibble on the leg of lamb.
The whole valley was full of chewing sounds, and the sound of Jin military rice from Liaodong was also full of ferocious energy.
It was a good morning, the wind had died down all night, and the sky was blue, and it was a good day for the march.
Zhang Keda led the whole army from Gu'an to the west at the beginning of the morning, and the journey was very fast, and after noon, they had left Gu'an for more than 20 miles.
After all, Gu'an rested for a few days, and the soldiers recovered their physical strength, and the journey was quite fast as soon as they first hit the road.
At this moment, the following Tanma Fei reported that tens of thousands of troops of Jiannu had arrived at the foot of Gu'an City and were galloping westward.
"Where did the army of Jiannu come from?" Zhang Ke was furious.
He sent out five hundred cavalry to probe the enemy in front and back, left and right, of course, there were relatively few soldiers in the back, after all, it was the way to come, and it was not far from Gu'an, so it was still a little careless, and Jiannu really suddenly appeared from here.
"My lord, I don't know where exactly it came from, the enemy has too many scouts, and I really can't go deep, but I know that they are all cavalry, and it is estimated that there are at least more than 20,000 horsemen."
The leader of the scouts in the back also complained in his heart, he only had fifty people under his command, and there were hundreds of Jiannu scouts to deal with.
Zhang Keda sighed, he immediately sent a few cronies to tell them to arrive in Zhuozhou immediately, and wait for the battle there, he handed over a suicide note that had already been written to these old generals.
This place is still far from Zhuozhou, and the Jiannu army, which is all cavalry, is only twenty miles away, and it is impossible to avoid the battle at this time.
"Your Excellency can immediately lead the cavalry away, and the last general will lead the infantry to block Jiannu's pursuers here."
Liao Zhengyuan, the general who followed him from Nanjinggi this time, bowed his hand.
"Hahaha, I, Zhang Keda, have fought in the south and north all my life, only I have pursued the enemy, and I have never abandoned the army and fled. It also made the Nanjing Zhang family ashamed to see people. ”
Zhang Keda waved his hand decisively,
"General Liao, don't mention this matter again, although we will definitely be defeated when we encounter the Jiannu army, our army will definitely make Jiannu pay a heavy price, so that he knows that Da Ming is not a general who did not kill slaves for the country."
"The last general swears to follow your lord to the death." Liao Zhengyuan bowed deeply, of course he didn't want Zhang Keda to flee alone, after all, the three thousand five hundred infantry soldiers encountered Jiannu who were all riding armor in the wilderness, and I was afraid that a light would collapse.
Zhang Keda was patrolling around, and he saw the foot of a hill two or three miles on the right, and he pointed there with a horsewhip, "The concession team will immediately go there to take over the formation, so that the back of the mountain can only deal with the enemy in front of it." ”
Liao Zhengyuan hurriedly received the order, and the 3,500 infantry troops hurriedly left the official road and turned to the right flank.
