Chapter 217: Jiannu takes the bait
When Nu'er Haqi saw a lot of bits and pieces thrown from the city wall of Juehua Island, he said curiously: "What is it that is thrown out there?" ”
His four sons had good eyesight, but they couldn't see clearly. ⊙
Ah Defeat called a cavalryman and asked him to ride closer and take a look.
The cavalry flew over, and after a while, he came back and reported: "What was thrown out were human fragments, tsk, it was so miserable, and the heart and liver were dug up." It seems that the defenders on the island are just as ruthless as our Qing Dynasty. ”
"Finished?"
"It's over."
Ah Fei kicked the cavalry to the ground, and said angrily: "I'll beat you a shameful thing, you should at least see who the dead guy is." ”
Tang Gu called two cavalrymen and asked them to investigate the situation.
Two horsemen rushed over. Because they wanted to see who the corpse was, they rushed closer than Ah Defeat's own soldiers. Just when they felt that the defenders were afraid of the Qing soldiers and did not dare to release their arrows and were smug, they only heard two "whoosh" sounds, and two crossbow arrows flew towards them. One shot the cavalryman in the chest, piercing through the chest, and he immediately fell to the ground and could not get up. The other shot slightly wide, hitting another cavalryman in the left shoulder, shattering his left shoulder blade. The wounded cavalry did not dare to linger too long, and hurriedly glanced at the corpses, and then returned to their own formation.
Seeing that Jiannu was defeated and retreated, the door on the wall of Juehua Island opened again, and a soldier in golden helmet and golden armor came out. I saw him step forward and cut off the head of the dead cavalryman, put it in his hand, and then turned over his horse, and rode Jiannu's horse into the city gate.
Back in the ranks of the Jiannu, the wounded cavalry rolled off their horses.
Tang Gu asked, "Do you see who is dead?" ”
"Back to ...... Back to the fourth elder brother, no ...... Didn't see clearly. But I saw the level, and there are braids on it, so it should be our people. ”
Mang Gul Tai was about to ask someone to bring the head of the corpse over to carefully identify it, when Huang Taiji shook his hand. "No, I know who the dead are." If my guess is correct, it should be the envoy we sent to the barbarian Yang Yanyu. ”
Nuer Ha Chi was furious and scolded: "The guards of Juehua Island really don't know what to do, Ben Khan cherishes your talent, and can't bear to let you be buried in the hands of the puppet emperor of the barbarian Ming Kingdom." I sent an envoy to recruit you. You actually cut the body of the envoy I sent into pieces, do you really think that Ben Khan will not dare to kill you? ”
Huang Taiji said with a smile: "I look at this guard, no matter how much money my father spends, he can't buy it." ”
"Oh, why is that? Is there still an official in Daming that money can't buy? ”
"I'm afraid it's not an official on the other side, but - the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was dumbfounded.
Nu'er Haqi's face twitched unconsciously, and she asked, "What you said is true?" ”
"**Don't leave ten, even if you are not the emperor, you are a person with a relatively noble status in the barbarian royal family. Just now I noticed a sergeant going out of the city. He was not wearing the big red mandarin duck battle jacket commonly used by the Ming border army, but a golden helmet and gold armor. ”
"Golden Helmet, Golden Armor, Golden Armor," Nu'er Ha Chi frowned in thought, and suddenly, he almost jumped up with excitement, "General Han." General Dahan is the emperor's honor guard, which I once saw when I went to Beijing to worship the emperor. ”
Because it's too excited. He forgot to add the word "pseudo" in front of the Ming Dynasty emperor to show his authenticity.
He excitedly explained to the generals present: "The barbarian court has a very tight control over gold and yellow, and only the Han generals in the Ming army can wear golden armor. And the Han general was the emperor's guard of honor. As long as there is a Han general, the emperor must be next to him, otherwise he will be arrogant and will be killed. ”
He didn't know that General Dahan also belonged to the Jinyi Guard, and he was the honor guard in the Jinyi Guard. Their armor is the armor of the Brocade Guard. It's just that the armor is heavy, and the soldiers of the other brocade guards don't need to go to the battlefield, they just supervise the hundred officials, which is very safe, and they don't have to wear armor all the time. This makes people mistakenly think that Jinyiwei has no battle armor, and the golden battle armor can only be worn by the Han general. Zhu Youcheng recruited elite soldiers from a hundred battles and wanted to go to the battlefield, so from officers to soldiers, they all wore golden armor. Zhu Youcheng didn't know that the outfit of his army made Jiannu think that the Ming Emperor had arrived.
Mang Guer was a little puzzled and asked, "The barbarian emperor is so kind that he dares to drive the expedition in person?" ”
Fan Wencheng smiled flatteringly: "Why don't you dare." The Barbarian Emperor was very fond of personal conquests from the beginning of Emperor Hongwu: Emperor Yongle made five expeditions to Mongolia, and finally died on the way; The orthodox emperor personally conquered Warat, but was captured in the battle of Tumubao and almost died in the Warat army; Emperor Zhengde personally went to Datong and commanded 50,000 soldiers and horses to fight against the little Mongolian prince, but the results were miserable, and only 16 Mongols were killed. I heard that the current puppet emperor Tianqi has the blood and courage of his ancestors, and secretly came to Liaodong from the barbarian court, how could it be impossible? ”
Nu'er laughed and said, "Today I want to repeat the Tumubao Incident, capture the Barbarian Emperor, and ask the Ming Court for money and food." Ah Defeat, you go to Shengjing, issue my order, 'draw one of the three dings', and send another 100,000 people to besiege Juehua Island, you must take advantage of this golden opportunity for the barbarian emperor to leave Beijing, and seize him. ”
Huang Taiji pondered for a while and said, "Father Khan, I'm afraid it's difficult to quench your thirst from far away." Although the drawing of Ding can greatly increase the strength of our army, it will take a considerable period of time to transfer troops to the front line, and it will be difficult to put troops on Juehua Island without a month or two. Moreover, there are sea ships on Juehua Island, if we see the surge in the strength of our army, the barbarian emperor will definitely board the sea ship and escape, but I am afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty at that time. Moreover, I suspect that this is a ploy of the Ming Court. Remember Yuan Chonghuan's letter to us? The above said that Juehua Island has food and there is no danger to defend, which is simply to induce us to attack Juehua Island. At first, we thought that Yuan Chonghuan was stupid, but now it seems that the Barbarian Emperor must have ordered him to do so, preparing to attack us and wipe us out on Juehua Island. ”
Ah Yu said: "The barbarian has a good calculation. ”
After listening to Huang Taiji's analysis, Nuer Haqi hesitated, afraid of the conspiracy of the Ming army, and reluctant to give up on the tempting bait in front of her.
Mang Gultai said: "A good strategy must also cooperate with the troops. The army of the Ming Dynasty, we have not seen it, when it comes to fighting, it is the first to save one's life and the strongest to escape. Didn't Sun Manzi boast that Guanning Iron Cavalry was the best in the world? As a result, in the battle of Liuhe, we broke 7000 and 7,000, and we were still the second-line troops left behind. ”
"The fifth child is right, and I think so too." Huang Taiji said, "Although the barbarian emperor's strategy is good, but the army can't, no matter how good the strategy is, it is in vain." However, if the army of the Ming Court is dragged in Ningyuan and Juehua for too long, our hometown will be a little dangerous. Therefore, my construction is that Juehua Island can be fought, can be fought, and must be fought, but it must not be delayed, and strive to resolve the battle within two days, and then return to Shengjing to guard against the sneak attack of the Ming army. ”
Nuer laughed loudly, glad that there was a successor to the bandits.
He laughed: "You grew up in the military, and Ben Khan is really worried that you only have the courage of flesh and blood, but not the strategy of governing the country. I am relieved to hear your deliberations today. Do a good job, the Great Qing Kingdom will eventually be passed on to you. ”
"In our hands? I'm afraid it's in the hands of that kid. Huang Taiji muttered in his heart, "You assigned the two yellow flags to the three brothers of Abahai's cheap maids, Azig, Dol Roll, and Duoduo, and you are going to let Dol roll take over the white flag again, don't you make it clear that you want Dol to take the throne?" Now he is still tempting our brothers with promises that are impossible to fulfill. ”
Although the boss was reluctant in his heart, he was still humble in his mouth.
Huang Taiji continued: "Since the Barbarian Emperor appeared on Juehua Island, it shows that he has confidence in the army and will not board the ship and leave unless it is absolutely necessary. If we conquer Juehua Island as quickly as possible, the Barbarian Emperor will have no chance to escape. ”
"The question now is how many soldiers does the Barbarian Emperor have? According to our exploration, in the past three months, the barbarians have not deployed troops into Juehua Island on a large scale. In other words, the barbarian emperor came to Juehua Island by sea ship, and due to the limitation of transportation capacity, he did not bring many troops. In the hands of the barbarian emperor, there are the so-called three major battalions of the Beijing Division: the five military battalions, the three thousand battalions and the Shenji battalion, and the three battalions have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to bring them all. I estimate that the number of people who came should be between five thousand and ten thousand, plus the original defenders on the island of seven or eight thousand, and now the total number of troops on the island is between 13,000 and 18,000, which is far inferior to the Qing Dynasty. More importantly, as far as I know, since the Tumubao Incident, the combat strength of the three major battalions has been exceeded, and the combat effectiveness is still inferior to that of the border army. As a result, the barbarian court often selected elites from the border army to enrich the three major battalions. The number is small, the combat power is poor, and the barbarian army will definitely be defeated. ”
"The only thing we should worry about is the weapons of the barbarians. I've examined the corpses on the mountain of corpses, and there are obvious fire wounds on them, and some of them have the scars of bomb explosions, so the Barbarian Emperor must have brought the Shenji Battalion with him. However, the red-coated cannon is too heavy and troublesome to carry, and it is unlikely that the barbarian army will bring it, and the most likely is the tiger squat cannon or other small cannons, and the number will not be too much. It is estimated that it is only twenty or thirty gates. Otherwise, there would not be two corpse mountains so high. ”
"Okay," Nu'er Ha Chi listened to Huang Taiji's analysis, and had a score in his heart, and ordered loudly, "Mang Gurtai, you take 20,000 cavalry and storm the city wall for me." Attacking Juehua Island is your first achievement. ”
They formulated a strategy here, but they never expected that they were following Zhu Youcheng's strategic concept. Zhu Youcheng's idea was to use the money and grain of Juehua Island to attract the main force of Jiannu, and then use the fortifications to consume half of Jiannu's troops, so as to combat the appeal of Nuer Haqi in Jiannu, and at the same time eliminate the main battle force of Jiannu, which could weaken Jiannu's war ability. When the time comes, there is no need for him to pick and choose, and the Mongolian neighbors who were bullied by Jiannu will not give up the opportunity to beat the water dogs and stab them in the back. In this way, Zhu Youcheng can buy his troops two to three years of training. After the training, even if Jiannu didn't come to him, he would go to Jiannu to settle the blood debt they owed to Daming over the years. (To be continued!)
