[I'm sorry for the delay today]

It wasn't until Deng Haonan's main force arrived at the Shuiguan Wharf in Tongzhou that Yang Sichang in the capital felt safer, and then ordered the forbidden army in the capital to go out of the city to fight.

Huang Taiji walked through the Malan Yuguan and announced that the battle at the entrance had ended.

The Manchu and Han armies in the cities of Sanhe and Jizhou were fiercely bombarded by the cavalry artillery of the Liaodong Army, and soon abandoned the city and surrendered.

After cleaning up the enemy forces in Guannei, Deng Haonan sent people to take over the defense of Tongzhou, and left the infantry and artillery to stay in Tongzhou City.

Subsequently, Deng Haonan ordered the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Lancer Divisions to quickly go out of Xifengkou, take a shortcut to chase Huang Taiji's army, and form two attack arrows with Wang Yuanlong's department, and follow the pursuit of the enemy all the way.

Hong Chengchou's 50,000 fake black-armored elite horsemen also completed the task, and after the Great Wall pass was sealed, these 50,000 horses were reorganized in Sanhe, and Hong Chengchou was recalled by Deng Haonan.

The battle outside the Guanwai was almost a foregone conclusion, so Deng Haonan put his mind back to Zhili.

Deng Haonan did not return to the capital first, but used the authority of the governor of Zhili, and now that the war is tight, Deng Haonan is already the de facto supreme commander of the three armies of the Ming Empire, and the Qinwang army that came from all over the country must be controlled by the governor of Zhili.

The first army to accept the reorganization of the Zhili Governor's Mansion was Hong Chengchou's 50,000 Tianjin Guards, among these soldiers, more than 20,000 people came down from the Great Wall of Jizhou Town, and survived the battle of Hulutou, although the record was not glorious, but it has to be said that the soldiers who survived the Manchu cavalry sneak attack have been in Daming and have good combat effectiveness.

This group of soldiers who had actual combat experience was Deng Haonan's favorite, so they were the first to be reorganized. The remaining less than 20,000 people are Xiangyong recruited by Hong Chengchou in Tianjin, all of whom are young and strong young men with good war potential the day after tomorrow. At the same time, these 50,000 soldiers all wore the black armor elite cavalry suits, and the sense of pride and glory was huge for these soldiers, so it was not difficult to adapt them.

The second batch of soldiers to accept the reorganization were the 130,000 Ming army fortress soldiers who opened from the Great Wall Pass in the Hebei-Shanxi section to Tongzhou.

This batch of Ming troops is huge, but the combat power is not strong, there are only less than 50,000 young and strong, and the rest are old and weak in the military households.

There are two Great Walls of the Ming Dynasty, one is to resist the invasion of nomads outside the Saiwai, which is usually referred to as the Great Wall. The second is to defend Gyeonggi, and the entire Zhili is surrounded by the second Great Wall, and this group of Ming troops is the fortress soldiers on the second Great Wall. In peacetime, there was no war at all, so that the Mongol army captured the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and lightly broke through the two Great Walls, all the way to the inner city of Beijing.

Although they have no combat effectiveness, Deng Haonan still does not let go.

Han Xin's more troops the better, and what Deng Haonan needs now is the deterrence of a million-strong army, not combat effectiveness.

He needs to use these armies as bargaining chips to negotiate or even a showdown with the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, led 80,000 Shandong soldiers to Zhili Hejian Mansion and prepared to go north to King Qin. Shandong and Zhili were next to each other, Deng Haonan did not dare to be careless, so he first transferred Sun Yuanhua to the Tongzhou camp in Hejian Mansion to discuss matters, and then Liu Hu led people to take over the 80,000 Shandong soldiers.

Shandong's military resources are good, and because of its close proximity to Liaodong, many of the Liaodong troops are Shandong's military sources. Liu Hu didn't have much effort to take over the 80,000 Shandong soldiers, only a few generals under Sun Yuanhua came out to stop it. Liu Hu took the official document of the Zhili Governor's Mansion issued by Deng Haonan and the wartime supreme command issued by the imperial court, so as to take them over and make them speechless to refute. In addition, Sun Yuanhua was not in the camp, and several generals did not dare to disobey, because it was tantamount to rebellion, and in wartime, Liu Hu could behead them immediately if they were guilty of disobedience. In the end, several of the generals could not twist their arms into their thighs and had to surrender their military power.

Sun Yuanhua poured a lot of ecstasy soup into Deng Haonan in Tongzhou North, and when he learned Deng Haonan's true purpose, he immediately shook his head and lamented. But he is a civil official, and he is used in the Shandong Sea Management Point, and when he arrives in Zhili, how can he contend with Deng Haonan, the head of the feudal officials.

Subsequently, the Qinwang army sent by the governors of Shanxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Huguang and other places also went to Zhili one after another, but the results waiting for them were the same, and they were all taken over by Deng Haonan. Most of these people were pinched by Deng Haonan with pigtails, and they couldn't help but listen.

The Ming army in the northwest was affected by the war in Shaanxi and could not rush to King Qin. Deng Haonan also did not let them come to King Qin, because Deng Haonan knew that once they were ordered to come to King Qin, they would definitely be restrained by Yang He, the governor of the three sides, on the way, which would instead fuel Yang He's troops.

At present, in the entire Ming Empire, nearly one million troops are directly or indirectly controlled by the Governor's Office of Zhili and obeyed Deng Haonan. Only the trilateral governor Yang He still has 200,000 Ming troops in Shaanxi to suppress bandits, and Yang Sichang still has nearly 100,000 forbidden troops in his hands to defend the Beijing division.

Yang He was busy suppressing bandits, and Deng Haonan was not worried that he would be able to influence his plans. On the contrary, Yang Sichang's 100,000 forbidden army was the most urgent solution for Deng Haonan.

Yang Sichang led the forbidden army out of the city to fight, but after discovering that Huang Taiji had fled, he immediately retreated to the capital.

His actions were abnormal, Deng Haonan immediately figured out the joints, it must have been the Emperor of the Apocalypse who gave him an order, and now the emperor can only rely on Yang Sichang to balance Deng Haonan.

"Yang Sichang disobeyed orders several times, called the emperor's order, and asked him to strictly guard the capital!"

Deng Haonan put down the tea bowl, smiled faintly, and said, "It seems to be guarding against us!" ”

Everyone laughed, and Lin Feng said: "My lord, if this Yang Sichang doesn't come out, what will happen to his forbidden army!" ”

Huang Zupei interjected: "The 100,000 forbidden troops, even if they have not gone through actual combat, are all elites drawn from various provinces, and their combat power should not be underestimated!" ”

Deng Haonan nodded and asked Wang Chen.

"How's the Security Service doing with the Janissary infiltration?"

Wang Chen said: "Many of the generals of the forbidden army are relatives of the emperor, and they are relatively stubborn, and our people are not easy to start. At present, only thirty percent of the leaders of the forbidden army obey us! ”

Lin Feng said: "In this way, the control of the forbidden army can only use extraordinary means!" ”

"Extraordinary times should be used by extraordinary means!"

Huang Zupei said: "It is enough for the Sancheng forbidden army to take refuge in us, we only need to open the gates of the outer city and the inner city, and our army can quickly control the capital." ”

Wang Chen nodded and said: "The Imperial City Forbidden Army has its own Gonggong Li and Dongchang to control it, and now everything is ready, only Dongfeng is owed!" ”

Everyone nodded, Deng Haonan had already told them all his plans, and now the important officials of the Governor's Mansion of Zhili knew that Deng Haonan had joined forces with the queen and was ready to control the government. Of course, more inside information is known only to Wang Chen of the Security Bureau.

Deng Haonan thought for a while and said: "A tunnel has been dug in the house, which leads directly to the outside of the city, and if necessary, we can send troops to beat it up and enter the tunnel!" ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and suddenly remembered the feat of Dong Nan and others, and actually dug a tunnel that led directly to the outside of the city. This tunnel was originally prepared for Deng Haonan's family to escape from the capital, but now it can be used in the opposite way, which is really unpredictable.

Lin Feng said: "Two thousand people are transported in the tunnel every day, and there are still more than ten days before the queen gives birth, and when the time comes, you can secretly station 20,000 elite soldiers in the city." ”

Huang Zupei said: "20,000 elite soldiers can be stationed in the Temple of Heaven in the north and south, which is enough to deal with any crisis!" ”

That's right, with the support of the queen, what is not legal has become legal.

"Report!"

Ding Da Niu came in with the latest report on the war outside the Guan.

"Congratulations, my lord, Zhan Zengyong flew the pigeon and passed the book, he has disabled the Mongolian army of 100,000 and annihilated more than 60,000 enemies!"

The shape of the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the plan can't catch up with the changes, and Deng Haonan and others are supportive of Zhan Zengyong's decision.

"Where is Huang Taiji?"

"Huang Taiji learned that the main force of the Black Armor Elite Cavalry had gone to exterminate the Mongolian army, so he was relieved to advance towards the ambush circle we set up!"

"Isn't that going to flood the Seventh Army?"

"More than once!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The scenery is pleasant, but there is a strong murderous aura hidden under this beauty.

Two days later, Huang Taiji's army marched to the banks of the Yixun River, and Huang Taiji ordered his soldiers to cross the river on a pontoon bridge.

"Are they still tailgating?"

In the temporary tent, Huang Taiji inquired about the battle situation.

Yue Yu said: "Your Majesty, since the second half of yesterday night, the enemy cavalry that had been trailing all the way suddenly stopped pursuing, and by this morning, the rear army was more than thirty miles away from them. ”

Abatai asked suspiciously, "What kind of trick are they playing?" Why did you suddenly stop chasing? ”

Badomin said: "It stands to reason that the crossing of the Ison River by our army is a good opportunity for them to launch an attack!" The Han people's military books say that if you attack halfway, you will get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Huang Taiji nodded, he was also very skeptical about this matter, but he hadn't guessed the other party's true purpose yet.

Amin said: "Those who followed us were the ordinary cavalry of the Liaodong Army, and their main black-armored elite cavalry attacked the Mongolian army in the west, and they couldn't rush to reinforce for a while, so they didn't dare to get too close to us, for fear that we would fight back!" ”

Huang Taiji sighed: "It is estimated that there are not many 100,000 Mongolian troops left, without their assistance, we will no longer be able to pose a threat to the Ming Court in the future!" ”

"The emperor doesn't have to worry!" Fan Wencheng said: "I want to start with thirteen pairs of armor of the first emperor, and in just twenty years, he has laid a vast country. Now the Great Khan still has an army of 70,000, and I believe that in less than five years, the Qing Dynasty will be strong again! ”

In less than five years!

Huang Taiji muttered in his mouth, will Deng Haonan give him five years?

The answer is clearly no!

"After returning to Beijing this time, I am ready to give up Shenyang!"

Give up Shenyang?

The generals were shocked when they heard this, Shenyang is their capital, and they are used to living a life of settlement and luxury, so it is really difficult for them to be willing to give up.

"Where are we going to give up Shenyang?"

One of the four major Baylors became emperors, and two died, and now only Amin is left, and he is the only one who can question Huang Taiji without any scruples.

"Return to Jianzhou!"

Huang Taiji blurted out very sadly, and he could see his helplessness.

"The emperor is wise!" Fan Wencheng strongly supported Huang Taiji's withdrawal from Shenyang, because he knew that Shenyang was now the greatest burden of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even the grave where he was buried.

"The strength of our army is to crisscross the steppes and fight in a mobile way! Now Deng Haonan's cavalry is growing at an astonishing rate, and in less than two years, we will not have any advantage in Liaoshen. Only by retreating into the desert grassland, with the wisdom of the emperor and the bravery of the generals and soldiers, Deng Haonan does not want to help us on the grassland! This entrance operation, I believe you have also seen that the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty has become a virtual reality, our army can wantonly attack them, and the initiative will return to our hands at that time, Deng Haonan's existing forces will not be able to cope with us at all, and they can only be exhausted when the time comes. ”

"But you also said that Deng Haonan's cavalry is increasing!"

Abatai blurted out, and it could be heard that he was very unwilling, and among the people, Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng supported him, and everyone else didn't want to give up Shenyang.

"They're increasing, we're increasing, and as long as it's safe to get through the five years of recuperation, we'll be back then!"

Huang Taiji is just to give everyone a thorough air first and see everyone's attitude. At present, seeing that only Fan Wencheng supports it, he knows that he can't stimulate others yet.

So he said: "I just have an idea about this matter, as for whether to do it or not, I haven't decided yet, you don't have to worry, let's talk about this matter back in Beijing!" ”

After a lot of discussions, Huang Taiji diverted the topic and returned to how to return to Shenyang safely.

The pontoon bridge had been erected, and the horse who had crossed the river to explore the road first reported that there was no trace of the enemy, and Huang Taiji was immediately relieved, so he ordered Jierharang to break off, and the whole army began to cross the river.

The army began to cross the river, and Huang Taiji was still very cautious, constantly sending people to listen to the situation of the Ming army following behind.

When the whole army was halfway through, a report was suddenly received that the Liaodong army, which had been trailing before, was coming towards the Yixun River.

Huang Taiji and the others laughed, Ba Duoming laughed the loudest, and only heard him say: "Are these guys straw bales?" Don't you know if you should hit it halfway? Now they are more than fifty miles away from us, and by the time they come, we will have already crossed the river!" ”

However, Fan Wencheng was worried, and Huang Taiji asked him why he had a color filter, but Fan Wencheng couldn't say it.

"In short, the emperor is still careful, this Deng Haonan doesn't know what tricks he is playing?"

As soon as Huang Taiji heard Deng Haonan's three words, he was so angry in his heart, his fists clenched, and his teeth creaked.

"The whole army will speed up the crossing of the river!"

Huang Taiji's Chinese army began to cross the river, riding horses and walking on pontoon bridges. Looking at the muddy but not deep river under the bridge, Fan Wencheng suddenly asked Abatai next to him, "Why is there so little water in this river?" ”

Abatai replied, "Maybe it's because the rain has stopped!" Some time ago, when my soldiers escorted the prisoners back, it was still a vast ocean, and there was no need for a boat to rest! Now, we don't need to build a bamboo raft, we can get over by erecting a pontoon bridge! ”

"It's the rainy season!" Fan Wencheng looked at the northern sky, where there had been dark clouds, proving that it had been raining in the distance.

Huang Taiji saw Fan Wencheng's doubts, stared at the river carefully, and suddenly looked solemn.

"Hurry up and cross the river!"

What Huang Taiji was worried about finally came, just when the Qing army had passed two-thirds of the horses, Zhan Zengyong had already ordered the dam to be dug far upstream.

Suddenly, the river swelled four or five meters high and rushed down from the upper reaches.

The water level of the River Ison rose sharply, and soon it filled the river and overflowed.

Seeing the river swelling, Huang Taiji suddenly understood, and secretly scolded Deng Haonan in his heart for being too ruthless, and this shameless tactic was used.

The rivers on the grassland have no dams, and during the flood season, the grasslands and mountains near the rivers are full of oceans.

Soon, when the flood peak came down, more than a dozen pontoon bridges were suddenly broken, and thousands of cavalry companies and horses were swept away. For them, landlubbers, seeing is impossible to live.

The flood peak was not intercepted by a levee, and quickly spread to both sides, and thousands of Chinese troops who crossed the bridge and rear troops who did not cross the bridge were directly swallowed by the flood.

The Qing army was suddenly hit by this catastrophe, and they were immediately in great confusion, shouting and fleeing for their lives.

The military array was in chaos, and Huang Taiji's face was pale, and he was so angry that his muscles were violent. However, there is nothing he can do about the great power of nature, or rather, there is nothing he can do about it.

"Retreat!"

Huang Taiji had no choice but to order the 50,000 or so men and horses who crossed the river to flee for their lives.

The water level was rising sharply, and soon it was more than one person high, and the formation was washed away, and everyone was holding their horses, breathing and struggling.

The more than 10,000 cavalry of the rear army had no time to escape, and were soon swallowed up by the flood, and the remaining more than 2,000 cavalry ran faster, although they were almost drowned, but they still struggled to climb out.

Zilharang, who was in charge of the broken end, was dumbfounded, and a large river several hundred meters wide in front of him completely blocked his retreat route.

He's been left behind!

"Enemy cavalry!"

With a loud shout, Zilharang looked back and saw that the west of the sky was golden, although it was a little dazzling, but Zilharang still saw the cavalry rushing below.

It was the formation of the 70,000 cavalry of the Liaodong Army, and the front that stretched for more than ten miles in the grassland was full of the shadows of their cavalry.

Fight to the death!

Zilharang's heart suddenly cooled, and he didn't feel the summer heat at all.

The earth was trembling, and the enemy cavalry was wrapped in endless murderous aura, although it was still more than ten miles apart, but the moment the iron hooves stepped on the ground, it seemed that all of them smashed on the hearts of every Qing cavalry.

With a big river blocking the way in front and an enemy army attacking behind, Zilharang was very desperate, and when he glanced at the Qing army frantically fleeing for their lives in the distance to the east of the river, he knew that he would not be spared.

"If you don't want to die, come with me!"

At the sound of an order, Zilharang quickly rushed north along the river, hoping to break out before the Liaodong Army completed the encirclement.

The north was the only way out, for the south would soon be a vast sea, and the horses would obviously not be able to outrun the flood.

But is it safe to the north?

Apparently not!

Zilharang led more than 10,000 cavalry to the north and fled for about an hour, when suddenly Zilharang reined in his horses, and everyone was dumbfounded.

I saw a piece of black pressure in front of me, and the black armor elite cavalry of the Liaodong Army was waiting for them there!

After seeing Zilharang and them coming, all the black-armored elite cavalry soldiers immediately smiled.

Yes, they were laughing, but not to welcome friends, but because waiting for the rabbit turned out to work many times.

The war horses neighed and kept digging at the mud and grass under their feet.

Zhan Zengyong looked left and right at Shen Xiufang and Du Yongchen, and the two nodded knowingly.

Poof!

Zhan Zengyong pulled out his command knife, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, and the blade was pointed at the enemy on the opposite side.

"Charge the whole army!"

…… V
