； Taiwan is the last station to reach the mouth of the Beijiang River and the Weihe River in Tianjin. Hong Chengchou sent people..."The sentry of Xiaoliang City. was told that he had not found the enemy approaching, so Hong Chengchou moved forward with confidence.

Suddenly, the outpost issued an early warning. It seems that a large number of enemies are rushing from the right, and the speed is extremely fast.

Hong Chengchou was in the electric light, and he already understood what was going on.

Huang Taiji's iron rider is coming.

Because the enemy wrapped the horse's hooves in cloth, it was not detected by the Liangcheng sentry. Until the approach, a large number of cavalry caused Liao. The forest birds and beasts were frightened and ran away only to be discovered by the sentinels arranged near Hong Chengchou.

"Damn Huang Taiji!"

Hong Chengchou didn't understand until this time. How could his 120,000 infantry army escape the eyes of the enemy, and how could the enemy give up his big fat and not eat it?

"Your Excellency!"

The adjutant general stepped forward and said, "Hurry up and give an order!" ”

Hong Chengchou knew that there was no way to avoid it, so he had to face the battle with a fork.

In order not to repeat the mistake of being ambushed at the foot of Dagu Mountain a month ago and the whole army was annihilated, Hong Chengchou did not dare to order the whole army to march quickly and flee to Tianjinwei, so he was repeating the mistake of the defeat of Dagu Mountain, and the only hope was that the whole army formed a formation and fought hard.

He had calculated that if he fled immediately, the result would not be any different from the defeat in the Battle of Dagushan. Because before the whole army arrived at Tianjin Wei, it was killed by Huang Taiji and the whole army was annihilated.

Assuming that he fought hard, he could at least warn Yang Sichang in the capital, tell him that the main force of Huang Taiji was here, and let him send troops to attack the few enemy troops under the city. In this way, it may be possible to surround Wei to save Zhao, so that Hong Chengchou can proudly save some troops. At the same time, he can stick to the help, maybe the Ming army of Tianjin Wei will come to his rescue. No matter how bad it is, you can kill more enemies to take revenge, right?

Hong Chengchou quickly calculated the gains and losses, and shouted loudly, and the whole army formed a formation to meet the enemy.

The Ming army retreated to the dense forest on the left and held back the enemy with all their might.

But before the formation was set, tens of thousands of enemy cavalry came out of the dense forest on the right and crossed the official road. Rush to their side.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Order. The Ming army's arrows shot at the enemy like maggots, and the opposing cavalry fell in rows and rows.

"Shoot!"

The arrows were fired in a hurry, giving the musketeers time to reload their gunpowder and pellets.

Bang bang bang!

Muskets burst out, striking the oncoming enemy in an instant.

"Shoot!"

The musketeers behind the officer's command stepped forward, replaced the musketeers in front, and continued to meet the enemy with a volley of guns.

The Ming army's platoon gun tactics were nine platoons in rotation, and at the moment they were hastily formed, only four platoons were formed. However, when the first four rows of musketeers were firing, the five rows of soldiers in the back also had time to arrange, just right, so as not to let the enemy directly break through the infantry phalanx.

However, the Ming army in front of Hong Chengchou was still obedient to orders. Orderly formation to meet the enemy. However, the 120,000-strong army stretched for more than ten miles on the official road, and the order could not be conveyed to the rear in time, and when most of the Ming army received the order to form a formation to meet the enemy, the enemy had already been killed, and there was no effective resistance at all.

The arrows fired in an emergency could not stop the swarming cavalry, and before another batch of arrows could be replaced and the muskets were ready, the enemy was already in formation, and in an instant there were enemies all around.

For a time, the official road that lasted for more than ten miles was full of shouts and killings.

Hong Chengchou's 30,000 Chinese troops can resist the enemy, which is beyond the expectations of Huang Taiji, if the previous Ming army generals were replaced, I am afraid that the whole army would have ordered a rapid march or retreat at this time, this Hong Chengchou is the first to resist in formation.

It's the best way, but not many people have the courage.

The Ming army formed a formation of 30,000 people, and its attack power should not be underestimated, and in the crackling sound, I saw thick smoke spitting out, and rows of Qing troops fell and died.

According to Huang Taiji's established plan, "a charge will crush Hong Chengchou's 120,000 troops, and then his 80,000 cavalry can wipe out the Ming army like cutting watermelons, repeating the battle of Sarhu."

But to his dismay, Hong Chengchou's Chinese army successfully formed a formation. In this way, the cavalry of the Qing army could not slaughter the Ming army in chaos with impunity. In the face of the fleeing Ming army, the Qing cavalry could only chase for a distance and then stopped and did not dare to chase again, because there were still 30,000 Ming troops here to resist.

The Ming army fought in the dense forest, the Qing cavalry did not have an advantage, the main cavalry of the Qing army was dragged by Hong Chengchou's Chinese army, so that most of the Ming army in the mountains and forests around, after the Qing cavalry rushed in, for a while and a half could not help the other party. Sometimes he was assassinated by a sneak attack by the Ming army.

The county Taiji miscalculated, so he had to order the army to storm Hong Chengchou's Chinese army.

"Drop the rocket!"

Dealing with the Ming army in the forest, Huang Taiji finally woke up. Ordered to attack it with fire.

Suddenly, muskets and rockets fired at each other, and the Qing army, after paying a certain price, successfully fired rockets into the Ming army's formation, causing a fire.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the Qing army lit a fire around it, and soon it became a sea of fire.

There was a loud bang, and the Qing army occupied the weight of the rear army of the Ming army, and set fire to the Ming army's gunpowder, grain and grass and other materials.

Hong Chengchou knew that the general trend was gone, and now he was only trying to delay the Qing army, allowing the officers and soldiers of the front army and the rear army to escape as much as possible.

Some of the rear army Ming army learned that the Chinese army was surrounded, so they gathered some of the remnants of the defeated generals to come to the rescue, which happened to fall into the Huang Taiji's strategy, and killed as many as they wanted.

Soon, the smarter veterans of the Ming army fled directly to Tianjin Wei, and ten of them were taken away. Ten wrapped away a hundred" A hundred wrapped away a large flock, and they scattered as birds.

There was no wind in the woods, and soon the smoke filled the air, and it was impossible to see each other clearly. The musket team of the Ming army fired blindly only with experience.

At this time, the adjutant general stepped forward and panted, "Obituary!" "Your Excellency. The brethren are running out of ammunition and the weight of the radiants are ruined, and they won't be able to hold out much longer! ”

Hong Chengchou was shocked when he heard this, and only then did he, a scholar, understand that fighting a war still depends on lifting weight. Now that the lifting is gone, the musketeers will soon be dumb off, and these musketeers will be worse than an axe bearer when they run out of ammunition, because muskets cannot be used as weapons for combat.

"How much longer?"

"At most, half a pillar of incense! If the enemy attacks tightly, a few rounds will be gone."

Hong Chengchou took a breath of cold air, but was choked by the gunsmoke.

After a sharp cough, Hong Chengchou suddenly had an idea, looked at the surrounding gunsmoke, and said happily: "There is a way!" ”

The way to do this is to take advantage of the cover of thick smoke. Break out of the siege by frugality.

Left the whole army annihilated, and some people could survive the breakout, these words were issued to all the Ming army soldiers step by step, everyone wanted to live, and they all thought that they were one of the people who broke out. So we are united. Break out together.

"Kill!"

The Ming army assaulted from the front, and then the Qing army rushed in, and then attacked the opponent with the only remaining muskets, and after suppressing the opponent, Hong Chengchou immediately led the whole army to break through from the opposite direction.

At this time, Huang Taiji realized that something was wrong. Immediately ordered the whole army to charge. In this way, the Qing army and the Ming army engaged in a melee in the woods on the right side of the official road. Of course, in this case, the Qing army took advantage. But it also lost a lot of itself.

One of the two sides ran desperately, the other chased desperately, and fought fiercely until late at night, and the Qing army was tired of chasing, and he was tired of cutting people. But Hong Chengchou was not caught, and Huang Taiji was worried about the situation on the front line, so he collected troops to clean up the battlefield.

"Kill more than 30,000 Ming troops! Our army suffered more than 1,300 wounded and more than 400 killed."

After roughly counting the results of the battle, Huang Taiji's face suddenly turned pale. In this case, the raid on the other party only killed 30,000 people, and the face of Huang Taiji was lost.

However, Huang Taiji's strategic purpose has been achieved, and the 120,000 Ming army has been defeated and disabled. At least I can't participate in the offensive and defensive battles of the capital. Now the Liaodong Army of the Ming Court is not moving, and the 100,000 forbidden troops and 20,000 miscellaneous cavalry in the capital are not enough to support at all!

"Pass the order, and the whole army will quickly withdraw to take Tongzhou!"

The Emperor's army triumphed. Hong Chengchou was seriously wounded and was carried back to Tianjin Wei by his own soldiers. The next day. Hong Chengchou woke up, gathered the remnants of the defeated army, and after some counting, there were less than 20,000 horses left. In between, most of them are missing, except for the more than 30,000 people who died in battle.

Hong Chengchou folded the army and did not dare to return to Beijing, so he had to recruit troops on the spot in Tianjin.

And Yang Sichang was unable to be distracted by the imperial Taiji army under the capital, and he had no time to repair Hong Chengchou for the time being.

After Huang Taiji defeated Hong Chengchou's 120,000 horse infantry army. Concentrate forces to attack Tongzhou. But. Huang Taiji eats a trench and grows wise, and does not dare to be careless. 10,000 cavalry were deployed near Jizhou Town to monitor the movement of the Liaodong Army in Shanhaiguan. At the same time, 30,000 Mongolian cavalry were sent to approach the capital Beiyuan. Contain the 20,000 cavalry of Hou Shilu from Xuanfu and Datong to prevent them from rushing to the aid of Tongzhou.

However, when Huang Taiji besieged Tongzhou. By the way, he played a trick, and the object was Deng Haonan's Liaodong Army.

When Xu Nan, the general soldier of Datong, fought fiercely with the Qing cavalry in Beiyuan, the Qing cavalry used bows and arrows to shoot the Ming army. The problem lies in the bow and arrow, the arrow of the bow and arrow is engraved with the words "made by the Liaodong Governor's Office", and the result is that this kind of arrow shot Xu Nan, the general soldier of Datong. The soldiers fought desperately to recapture his body. As a result, when they were transported back to the capital, they found the mark on the arrow.

At this moment, the capital suddenly shook, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty took the opportunity to spread rumors, saying that Deng Haonan had rebelled.

In the Liaoguo Mansion, the five hundred guards left by Na Haonan suddenly became nervous, they didn't know the situation outside, so the captain of the guard ordered martial law in the palace.

This Deng Haonan's eldest wife, Yang Wanshu, was most worried about her husband's safety, and after hearing the news, she was immediately nervous. It doesn't matter if it's nervous. Delivery was supposed to be at the end of the month. As a result, five or six days ahead of schedule, a son was born on June 24. The name Deng Guoan is taken from the meaning of Guotai and Min'an. This is the name that Na Haonan has arranged long ago, as his next generation. It will be named after the national character.

Now the house is lively, the birth of a son in ancient times is a great joy, this boy is the hope of the officials of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion, as the son, that Guoan is the successor of the Haonan Group, so that Deng Haonan's great cause can be continued, and the civil and military officials of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion suddenly have hope.

The festivities diluted the tension, but the house did not relax its vigilance at all. Our hunter commando team is facing Comrade Dong Nan, since he has been in charge of guarding the prison of the Criminal Department. He never left Beijing again. After Na Haonan left Beijing, he was the captain of the escort team, and took his special elites to do the errand of taking care of the home.

Now, there are rumors everywhere in the city that Na Haonan has rebelled, which is for Dong Nan and these soldiers. Undoubtedly a good thing. However, the eldest lady gave birth, which put more pressure on him. Mrs. can't have an accident, and the son can't have an accident. So, Dong Nan for the sake of completeness. With his elites, began to dig tunnels.

To dig out the city of Beijing in one go, this is Dong Nan's order to his subordinates. As a tactical strike force, the Hunter Commandos did the job of digging tunnels. This made all the special operators miserable and happy.

In the bedroom of the eldest lady in the back hall, Chen Wanqing and Hai Lanzhu were guarding Yang Wanshu's bedside, and a few. The maids teased Xiao Guoan in the cradle together.

Yang Wanshu looked worried and asked, "Did you say that Xianggong really rebelled?"

"How dare he?" Yan Siyu suddenly pinched his waist, gritted his teeth and said: "Even if you rebel, you have to take us out first, otherwise I won't be finished with him."

"But it's all over the place

Hai Lanzhu asked weakly, Yan Siyu said: "It's just a rumor, and some people with ill intentions deliberately did it.

If Xianggong really rebelled, wouldn't the emperor have already invaded the palace and clicked us all one by one? ”

When Yan Siyu said this, she was immediately frightened and touched her neck, but Hai Lanzhu was not afraid. Like Yan Siyu, she has practiced martial arts, so she is naturally bolder.

Wanshu said again: "Sister Siyu, do you think that Lezi outside will attack the city?" ”

Yan Siyu saw Wanshu's frightened little face and smiled: "You can rest assured!" By the time the city was broken, we would have run down the tunnel. Those soldiers outside are not ordinary people, and it is not a problem to fight and dig holes. Besides, didn't Xianggong give you a token? But if we send troops in, even if we can't keep Beijing City, can't we keep our mothers? ”

Then he said, "Don't say any shoes in the future!" Our pearl girl is Mongolian! ”

Wanshu stuck out her tongue at Hai Lanzhu in embarrassment, and the latter smiled and didn't care.

"That's right!" Yan Siyu suddenly asked Xiang Hai Lanzhu and said, "Who is the man you went out to see a few days ago?" What did you say? ”

"How do you know?"

Hai Lanzhu looked surprised. Yan Siyu rolled her eyes and said, "You stupid girl." Where is it in the capital? There are eyeliners everywhere, and besides, you took the maid in the house out, and you didn't tell her to keep it secret, so we naturally all know about it! ”

Hai Lanzhu sighed, didn't pay much attention, just said honestly: "That person is my brother!" ”

It turned out that a few days ago, the Emperor Taiji would ally all the Mongolian tribes. Naturally, the Korqin Department wanted to participate. This time, Huang Taiji was ready to make a big move, so all the Mongolian tribes had to bring elite alliances.

Zhaisang, the leader of the Horqin tribe, and his son Ukeshan Coaxing Taiji led 30,000 troops to the Huimeng, which was the largest number of troops among the Mongol tribes.

knew that he wanted to break through the customs and enter the country, and according to Huang Taiji's concept, he should be able to break through the city of Beijing. Hai Lanzhu, the most painful daughter of Zhaisang, is still in Beijing. Therefore, he sent his son to secretly enter Beijing, find Hai Lanzhu and take her away.

But Hai Lanzhu didn't want to leave here. learned from his brother that the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces would invade on a large scale, and he was even more reluctant to flee by himself at this time.

Wukeshan coaxed Taiji to not be able to take his sister away, because this was the city of Beijing, and he did not dare to be too arrogant as a hostile force. Hai Lanzhu was reluctant to leave, and Wuke Mountain coaxed Taiji to come over. I immediately understood the real reason why my sister didn't leave here. So he returned to the desert and informed his father Sessan, saying that Hailan Zhu had a heart.

This Zhai Sang couldn't take his daughter away, so he had to think of another way.

At this time, his son gave him an idea, saying that the Liaodong army was strong, and Huang Taiji might not be able to capture the city of Beijing. Zhai Sang thought about it, so he no longer worried. But Zhai Sang is a veteran of speculation. When he wandered between the Later Jin and the Mongol Chahar Khanate, he promised his sister and children to Huang Taiji. He also gave his eldest daughter to the Mongol Khan Lin Dan. So that his Korqin tribe was pandering to both sides and was not subject to conquest. But Hai Lanzhu rejected her marriage, so that Zhai Sang can only rely on the Manchu Qing Dynasty now.

However, Saisang's vision was not bad, and he saw the weakness of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the strength of the Ming Dynasty after the Liaoshen War, so he had to find a backer again.

And his baby daughter Hai Lanzhu is staying in the Liaoguo Mansion at the moment, getting along very happily with Deng Haonan and his family, and his daughter is also willing, so he played a safe strategy of betting on both sides. Then he sent Wukeshan to coax Taiji to return to Beijing, conveyed Saisang's words to Hai Lanzhu, and asked Hai Lanzhu to find a way to coax Na Haonan to facilitate the marriage between the Liaodong Governor's Mansion and Horqin.

Hai Lanzhu was straightforward and fast-talking, and unconsciously missed all the words, which made Wanshu and Yan Siyu laugh more than once.

"Don't laugh at me!"

The second daughter's laughter was even thicker, and Wanshu couldn't help but say: "Your old man is really good at speculating and betting on both ends is a brilliant strategy!" ”

"And what's in your mind?"

Yan Siyu suddenly asked, which immediately overwhelmed Hai Lanzhu and hurriedly answered that she didn't know.

"If you don't know, you're willing!"

"Fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders!"

Wanshu and Yan Siyu kept making fun of Hai Lanzhu, and the latter soon couldn't resist the laughter in the bedroom for a while.

※※

In the war room of the General Staff of Jinzhou, the huge sand table in the Jiliao area was placed in the middle, and Deng Haonan listened to the strategic concepts and tactical action plans put forward by the various confidential staff offices of the General Staff Headquarters.

The General Staff Department has more than 20 confidential staff offices, and each of the confidential staff offices will come up with one or more sets of plans for each operation, and then summarize them at a joint meeting of the General Staff Headquarters, and the General Staff will select several sets of best plans, one of which will be used for implementation and the others for backup.

Huang Taiji launched the battle of the entrance, Shenyang must be empty, and most of the plans pointed to Shenyang, taking the intention of encircling Wei and saving Zhao. However, there are also plans that Shenyang cannot withstand the attack of the Liaodong Army, and it can be taken down overnight. Once Shenyang fell, Huang Taiji would no longer rush to Shenyang's aid, and the Manchus gave up their settled life and returned to the nomadic world.

The problem lies here, once the Manchus returned to the nomadic era, on the vast steppe, it would be very difficult for the Liaodong army to eliminate them again.

For the time being, Shenyang cannot be moved, and Huang Taiji can only be driven out of the Great Wall.

Deng Haonan thought about it for a long time, and finally set this tone, he either didn't do it, or he would make a fatal move as soon as he made a move, this is Na Haonan's usual strategy. D
