"How dare you bully me like this?"

An angry roar came from the governor's mansion in Datong, this was Hong Chengchou's voice, and at this time there was a battle fold sent by Yue Yang in front of him.

This letter of invitation to war was sent by Yue Yanggang, and it was just a few simple sentences written on it, to the effect that the Manchu Qing sent people to attack the Chahar tribe, a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and the Chahar tribe sent people to ask for help, and they wanted to send troops to help the Chahar tribe, and they came to inform Yunyun. Hong Chengchou is an arrogant person, although Yue Yang has been made a marquis, but theoretically his army is still subject to his control, how can he stand such a sullen breath, he immediately attacked: "Antong, you immediately send someone to inform Yue Yang, order him not to act rashly, the army is not allowed to leave the north road without the order of the governor, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”

"Master, it's too late!" As a personal general, Hong Antong can see this matter more clearly than Hong Chengchou, "Yueyang has already set off the day before yesterday, and now I am afraid that he has arrived at Gaoshanwei, I am afraid that he will be able to leave the customs tomorrow, how can he be in time!" ”

Hong Chengchou, who was already dizzy, immediately blurted out: "Then we must chase him back, otherwise where is the majesty of this governor?" ”

Hong Antong smiled bitterly, now Yueyang's wings are full, even the emperor can't do anything about him, you are a governor to talk to him about majesty, isn't it a joke?

Hong Chengchou lost his temper, and finally had to admit that he was now helpless about the fact that Yue Yang, he sat on the handsome seat, gritted his teeth and said: "Antong, you go to check it out immediately, and see how many soldiers and horses Yue Yang brought with him this time?" How many soldiers and horses are still guarding the North Road today? ”

Hong Antong, as an old man who has followed Hong Chengchou for many years, is naturally familiar with his master's thoughts, and he said casually: "Master, this time the Marquis of Yue doesn't need to ask the villain to know a little about it. This time, Marquis Yue sent troops with a total of 28,000 soldiers and 5,000 auxiliary soldiers (baggage soldiers), and now there are more than 5,000 people left on the North Mountain Road, which are led by the new guerrilla general Yue Shunbao. ”

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment and asked, "Oh." How did you find out about this? ”

"Do you still need to inquire about this, now the Datong Mansion has spread all over the country, saying that Marquis Yue sent troops outside the border to fight to the death with the Manchu Tartars for the sake of the court and the community, two days ago, there was a new thing here in us, called "Daming Times", which has long made the reason for Marquis Yue's dispatch of troops clear, and the people with good things have already called them Yue's army!"

"Yue Jiajun?"

Hong Chengchou's eyes couldn't help but stare at it, there was only one army that could be called Yue's army in the entire history of China, and that was the anti-Jin army created and led by Yue Fei during the Southern Song Dynasty. Because of its strict military discipline and well-trained, "freeze to death without demolishing the house, starve to death without plundering", the Jin people are known as "shaking the mountain is easy, shaking the Yue family military disaster" The current Manchu people are the descendants of the Jin people.

"Yue's Army...... You really regard yourself as the nemesis of the golden man, but unfortunately, you will never be able to become Yue Fei! Hong Chengchou muttered to himself. His expression became fierce, and he said to Hong'an: "Antong, see if you can give that Yue Shunbao to ......"

"No, sir." Hong Antong shook his head without waiting for Hong Chengchou to finish speaking: "This person's ancestors were born in Yuejiazhuang for three generations, and his father has been the housekeeper of the Yuejia family for more than 20 years. He was born as a scholar in Yueyang, and their father and son were loyal to the Yue family, and it was impossible for them to betray Yueyang. Hong Antong didn't even think about it, but his master dispelled this unrealistic idea.

"Could it be that there is really no way to deal with Yue Yang?" Hong Antong felt very distressed for more than a year. He also actively learned from Yueyang, reclaimed wasteland, collected displaced people, and selected strong displaced people to join the army. It is true that he has trained a team of more than 10,000 people, but he also understands in his heart that now the army in his hand is okay to deal with the rogues, and if he wants to wrestle with the Qing soldiers, he can't even think about it. In fact, there are no less than 30,000 soldiers and horses in the Xuanda area, such as Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Wang Pu, Tang Tong, etc., but these people are all old fritters, although they are all at their disposal in name, but Hong Chengchou does not dare to guarantee that once the battle starts, he can command them as an arm. Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but envy Lu Xiangsheng's predecessor, how did this guy pinch these arrogant soldiers together before, and respectfully obey the dispatch.

Seeing that Hong Chengchou was deep in thought, Hong Antong slowly retreated, leaving his master thinking about the problem......

Regardless of whether Hong Chengchou is angry or unwilling, Yue Yang still took the army out of the pass, this is the first large-scale military dispatch of troops outside the Ming Dynasty since the Tumubao Change, so the eyes of everyone in the Ming Dynasty are focused on Yue Yang's body, if Yue Yang can defeat the Qing army this time and return to the court, then his prestige will rise to an unprecedented new height, and on the contrary, if he is defeated this time, neither Huang Taiji nor Chongzhen will let go of this defeated general, so for Yue Yang, this is a war that can only be won but not defeated, If he loses, the enemies who have been eyeing him for a long time will pounce on him and put him to death.

The grassland outside the pass on March 18 of the tenth year of Chongzhen

At this time, Yue Yang rode leisurely on horseback, looked at the endless desolate grassland in front of him, and said to Hu Laosan on the side: "Do you still remember the scene when we followed Li Yuan from Yingzhou Mansion for the first time a few years ago?" ”

"Of course the last general remembers!" Hu Laosan laughed, with a look of memory on his face and said: "At that time, you were just a regimental training general soldier, with no more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and the last general was just a small leader, we took hundreds of carts from Datong and walked for nearly a month to the Horqin tribe. ”

"Hahaha......" Yue Yang also laughed, the opportunity in life is really wonderful, who would have thought that such a sour show who was about to be beaten to death could become a local warlord who sat on one side?

It's a pity that the heavens didn't give Yue Yang much time to recall, Yue Yang, who was marching in the army, suddenly heard the sound of "rustling" from the large walkie-talkie on the shoulders of the herald who was following him, and soon the communication soldier on the side reported: "Lord Qiqi, if you don't receive the report at night, our army is only less than fifty miles away from Chifeng, and the Qing army has already found a sentry in front!" ”

Yue Yang asked, "What about the people and horses of the Chahar tribe?" Have they been in touch? ”

The communication corps reported: "The people of the Chahar tribe are currently stationed around Chifeng, and they have formed a large village to defend against the mountain peak, and the village has been surrounded by the Qing regiments. ”

"That's ......," Yue Yang pondered for a moment. waved his hand to send the communication soldiers away, and then said to Hu Laosan on the side: "You immediately rush to the front to personally command, order the front army to continue to advance, and wait for the road to be ten miles away from the Qing army." ”

"Yes!" After learning of the enemy's situation, Hu Laosan gave up his hand to Yueyang, and then rode his horse to the front, and after a while, a burst of high-pitched military trumpets sounded in the air, and the sergeants who had been relaxed began to look stern, because this trumpet had already told them that the enemy had been found in front.

Look at the army in front of you with no end in sight. Yue Yang only felt a burst of pride in his heart, for this decisive battle, he had already made too many preparations, and even the walkie-talkies that he did not dare to equip the troops for fear of causing unnecessary speculation and panic in the past were distributed to the troops below. With the equipment of the walkie-talkie, the panic and unnecessary speculation that Yue Yang was worried about did not happen, and the soldiers of the Yingzhou Army had long been numb to the endless skills of their own bosses.

At the same time that the Qing army discovered the Qing army's outpost at night, the Qing army's outpost also transmitted the news of the discovery of the Ming army back to the Qing army's camp.

In a gently flat clearing less than thirty miles away from Chifeng, flags representing the Eight Banners fluttered in the air. Bright yellow flag, yellow inlaid red inlaid yellow flag, white white flag and blue flag, inlaid blue flag, etc., the eight flags of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are very rare to gather in the same bright yellow flag, the bright yellow flag is also embroidered in the middle of a five-clawed golden dragon with gold wire, which represents the emperor's flag. Since Huang Taiji changed the name of the country to the Qing Dynasty last year, many things in the Qing Dynasty have also begun to look up to the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the dragon robe, the etiquette system or the dependence has a strong Ming style.

As the saying goes, there are more than 100,000 soldiers, and the 100,000 army is tightly surrounded by the entire Chifeng region. In the center of their encirclement, there was a valley surrounded by three mountain peaks. Only a flat land more than ten miles wide was left, and a cottage on this flat land blocked this flat land tightly.

At this time, in the center of the Qing army camp dozens of miles away from the valley, there was a huge tent covering an area of hundreds of square meters, and the dragon flag next to the tent was fluttering in the wind. In the big tent, Huang Taiji, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat on his dragon chair, his eyes were slightly closed, on both sides of him, there were dozens of generals dressed in various armors, and the left and right people closest to Huang Taiji sat his eldest son Haoge and Dabeile Daishan, and then sat Dolgon, Duoduo, Yuetuo, Abatai, Dudu, Aobai and other important ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it can be said that Huang Taiji has brought all his belongings and generals who can fight.

Huang Taiji was silent, and everyone in the big tent naturally closed their mouths and looked at him quietly. I don't know how long later, a loud voice sounded outside.

"Report!"

With the voice, a Qing soldier with a red and yellow eye-colored flag behind his back strode into the big tent, the emperor's big tent is naturally not everyone can come in, but the exception of the sentry with this kind of small flag, as long as there is a sentry with this kind of flag behind the whole army, no one dares to stop it, and those who violate the order will be killed, this is the iron law of the Qing army!

I saw this sentry striding into the big tent, and said loudly to Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the white tiger skin seat: "Qi Qi Great Khan, thirty miles away found the Ming army and horses, after investigation, this is the Yingzhou army, the number is about 30,000 people!" ”

After the words of the sentry fell, Huang Taiji opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a cold light with a bright eye, which made people can't help but feel timid. I saw Huang Taiji ask in a deep voice: "Then Yue Yang can be in the army?" ”

The detective replied loudly: "The minion doesn't know, but the minion saw a big Yuezi flag in his army in the distance, presumably Yueyang should be among them." ”

"Well, you can't go wrong!" Huang Taiji looked extremely happy, and laughed with an extremely happy expression: "Everyone, this is God bless me Daqing, this Yueyang is finally here!" ”

"Congratulations to the Great Khan...... Congratulations to the Great Khan! When the people in the big tent saw this, they also congratulated in unison.

Dai Shan bowed his hand to Huang Taiji and said: "Great Khan, Yue Yang must have done his best to reach Chifeng within half a month, and the grain and grass he brought with him must not be much, so the strategy we formulated earlier can be implemented." ”

"Good!" Huang Taiji slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and shouted, "Yue Tuo! ”

"Wow!" Sitting behind, Yue Tuo stood up and knelt down on one knee towards Huang Taiji and said, "What does the Great Khan command?" ”

"You immediately sent my will, ordering the front army to withdraw to its own position immediately, and not to stay there for a single soldier!"

"Wow!"

Yue Tuo immediately took the order and left. As Yue Tuo left, Huang Taiji also stood up and laughed: "Since Yue Yang is here, I naturally have to go out and have a look, and see what this fierce opponent who has repeatedly defeated my Qing Dynasty looks like, everyone, how about going out with me?" I'm so curious about this Yueyang! ”

The boss spoke, and the younger brother below naturally had to follow, Huang Taiji dragged his fat body to stand up, strode out, and the generals behind him also followed according to their respective titles.

A low trumpet sounded. The originally calm camp suddenly became noisy, countless soldiers came out of the camp, some of them rode horses and some walked, and finally more than 10,000 people gathered together to support the Huang Taiji and his party who came out of the big tent in the middle, with the order of the leader of the general, the army slowly walked out of the camp towards the direction of Chifeng in the west, if someone looked down from the air at this time, they would find that two mighty teams were coming!

Two hours later, on the grassland five miles away from Chifeng. Yueyang's army and Huang Taiji's Qing army officially met......

"Woo woo woo ......" bursts of passionate horns and high-pitched military trumpets echoed in the air at the same time, one low and one high-pitched, as if two warriors belonging to different camps met on the battlefield, and none of them panicked. They just looked at each other in the direction of a few miles apart, and there was a cold fierceness and bloodlust in the eyes of both sides.

"Didi Di Di ......"

The high-pitched and sharp trumpets still sounded, and in the sound of military trumpets, Yue Yang slowly came to the front of the formation with three thousand personal soldiers. At the same time, Huang Taiji, supported by the Manchu generals and the thousands of the most elite Baya soldiers belonging to the Zhenghuang Banner, also came to a hill in Lianglidi, near the valley.

At this time, the Yingzhou army and the Qing army looked at each other from both sides of the camp arranged by the Chahar tribe at the mouth of the valley. Looking at the Qing army wearing bright yellow armor in front of him, Yue Yang took a deep breath. Only then did he say in a deep voice: "These Qing troops belong to the Zhenghuang Banner, and it seems that Huang Taiji is here." ”

Suddenly, a mountain shook the sound of cheers, and since they were shouting in Manchu, Yue Yang could not understand them, so he summoned a sergeant who understood Manchu to ask him what he meant, and the sergeant replied, "Those Jiannu are shouting long live!" ”

Tens of thousands of people cheered at the same time, such a momentum is amazing, especially when tens of thousands of brave and good soldiers cheered at the same time, it is even more amazing, with a huge wave of cheers, Yue Yang found that the soldiers of the Chahar tribe who were originally guarding the gate of the camp began to appear a slight commotion.

"Long live the chanting...... Are you shouting slogans? It's a pity that this is a war, and it's not about whose voice is higher! ”

Yue Yang smiled slightly, and whispered to the communication soldier next to him: "Order the front army to send four phalanxes to advance in a one-word attack formation!" ”

"Yes!" The communications corpsman immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and began to give orders.

Soon, the Yingzhou army immediately sounded a burst of passionate drums, and the four phalanxes began to walk out of their own ranks towards the Qing army in front of them slowly but firmly.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

In the sound of drums, the four musketeers marched forward slowly but firmly in a line, and behind them an artillery battalion caught up and began to set up artillery positions.

Looking at the Ming army formation slowly walking towards their side, almost all the Qing troops were stunned, the Zhenghuang Banner belonged to the emperor's personal soldiers, and it was also the most elite unit in the Shangsanqi, the strength of this army was also the strongest in the Qing army, and it was also an army that had never fought with the Yingzhou army. The number of Ming troops fighting is very good, each phalanx is a thousand people, and four phalanxes are four thousand people, are these Ming troops tired of living? Rushing to die?

Many of the generals of the Yellow Banner were very puzzled by the Ming army's behavior of sending them to death, but Yue Tuo, Haoge and Dolgon, who had fought with the Yingzhou army, changed their faces, and Yue Tuo immediately said loudly: "Great Khan, the firearms of the Ming army are very sharp, and they are very far away, you are not safe here, for the sake of your dragon body, you better go back!" ”

Huang Taiji looked at the many soldiers around him, and then at the Yingzhou army, which was almost two miles away, and frowned, and asked: "You have fought with the Yingzhou army the most, how far can the Yingzhou army fight?" ”

Yue Tuo replied: "The farthest can be about 300 steps. ”

"Three hundred steps!"

Huang Taiji muttered twice, turned his head to a Mongolian general behind him, and said, "Siqingeril, you send a team of soldiers and horses to test them and see what they are capable of!" ”

"Wow!"

The bearded general immediately answered and retreated, and in a short time, a rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded, and more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry rushed from the rear towards the phalanx of the Yingzhou army...... (To be continued......)
