Chapter 513: Fiasco (2)

When Du Du gave the battle order, he found that the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army under his command had already made all the preparations, for these soldiers, waiting for a long time in Tianshou Mountain, the days were very difficult, and there was no action here, indicating that everyone had no money income, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army did not have any salary income, and the largest income came from the money and looted from every expedition.

The morale of the sergeants under his command was high, Du Du was of course happy, and his battle order was also very simple, make a fire to cook when he was ugly, eat at three o'clock when he was ugly, set off at two o'clock at Yin, and launch an attack at one o'clock. This time requirement is considered a pediatric for the officers and men of the Eight Banners, and the time is very generous, so they can be fully prepared.

The 50,000 former army led by Xiong Wencan has been stationed in Changyu City for three days, during which the scouts continue to report the situation, but unfortunately, there is almost no information on the periphery of Yanqing City, which is also human nature, more than 100,000 Houjin Tartars are attacking Yanqing City, at this time, if the scouts go deep into the surroundings of Yanqing City to investigate, most of them will not return.

The lack of information made Xiong Wencan very annoyed, I don't know the situation in Yanqing City, it is definitely not possible to launch an attack rashly, not to mention the large number of Houjin Tartars, a rash attack is equivalent to suicide, as for Hong Chengchou stationed in Yanqing City, there has been no letters and documents, and Gao Qiqian, the prison army, does not have any letters and documents, this is understandable, since the Houjin Tartars want to attack Yanqing City, they must besiege the city, and it is impossible to send any information, there is no information about Yanqing City, there is no information about Yanqing City, There will be no other orders for high diving.

The 50,000-strong army is basically stable, because there is no shadow of Houjin Tartar found around, and the sergeants of Miyunwei and Yingzhouwei are still quiet, but these sergeants generally have no morale, and they have a lot of resentment about this expedition. After all, the armies of the other guards were stationed near the capital, but they were sent out to attack the Houjin Tartars, which was obviously unfair, but such grievances could only be in their hearts.

Xiong Wencan can feel this, not to mention the sergeant below. It is Yingzhou Zuotun Wei, Right Tun Wei, Qiantun Wei, Zhongtun Wei, Hou Tun Wei and Miyun Qianwei Miyun Guard, many of the general soldiers and deputy chief soldiers, the look on their faces is also panicked, they have fought with the Houjin Tartars, and they have an instinctive fear of the Houjin Tartars.

This kind of atmosphere is extremely deadly, the situation in Changping Prefecture City a few days ago, not only did not arouse the fighting spirit of these soldiers, but made them even more afraid, if they threw themselves into the battle with such a mentality, even if they had an overall advantage. It could also be the end of facing failure.

Therefore, Xiong Wencan can't be in a hurry, no matter what, he has to grasp the actual situation of Yanqing Prefecture City before he can decide when to launch an attack, and the attack is mainly based on the 30,000 soldiers under his command, and the rest of the battalion Zhou Wei and Miyunwei's sergeants can only assist from one side, and it is impossible to undertake the task of the main attack.

It was getting dark. It's already the early winter season, and it's starting to get cold in the north. Especially at night, the temperature drops quickly, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may catch a cold, so except for the sergeant on duty, the rest of the sergeants entered the barracks to rest.

Xiong Wencan slept very little, and he had too many things in his head. It was impossible to sleep peacefully, and the soldiers around him made a charcoal fire in the house when the night came, which could warm up a lot.

Xiong Wencan's map for a while, he paid attention to the situation around Yanqing Prefecture. As for the situation in Changping and the capital, he didn't worry about it, and he didn't think he needed to worry about it.

The map in front of him began to blur, Xiong Wencan simply lay on the table and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but the door was suddenly pushed open, and a cold wind poured in.

Xiong Wencan raised his head suddenly, he was wearing an overcoat, and the oil lamp on the table had not been extinguished, obviously this was the pro-soldier who had changed the wick and added oil.

The scout's face turned pale, and Xiong Wencan, who was up, couldn't take much care of it.

"Report, a large stream of Liukou was found in the east, and it was at most ten miles away from Changyu City......"

Xiong Wencan's body trembled and woke up instantly.

He stood up with his sloppiness, ignoring the coat that had slipped to the ground.

"Yanqing Prefecture City is obviously in the direction of the west of Changyu City, how can there be a large stock of Houjin Tartars in the east, aren't you investigating everywhere every day, haven't you found any Houjin Tartars......"

The scout's face turned pale, and his body began to tremble, the rogue who suddenly appeared was indeed from the east, and according to the time and location, it was very likely that the golden tartar was hiding in Tianshou Mountain, but the scout had been scouting around for such a long time, and he didn't find that Tianshou Mountain was hiding a large number of rogues, which was a major mistake, and his head could be cut off.

The scout threw himself on his knees.

"Dashuai, his subordinates should be damned, it is very likely that the Houjin Tartar is hiding in the area of Tianshou Mountain, so he has not been able to detect ......"

Before the scout finished speaking, many of the general soldiers also came to the door, but they were blocked by the personal soldiers guarding the door, and there was a lot of noise outside for a while.

Xiong Wencan's face turned pale, the Houjin Tartars ambushed a large number of troops near Tianshou Mountain, and the fools knew what they were going to do, the former army had been stationed in Changyu City for three full days, and nothing was found, and the shadow of the Houjin Tartars was not found during the march, which showed that the Houjin Tartars were hidden very deep along the way.

At this time, the mistake of punishing the scouts has no meaning, the Houjin Tartars are about to arrive at Changyu City, the fight may start immediately, and it is too late to order the former army to evacuate here, Changyu City is backed by Juyong Pass, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is also very difficult to evacuate, unless it is to go to Juyong Pass and evacuate in the direction of Yanqing City, that choice Xiong Wencan will never make, since Houjin Tartar suddenly attacked, it is to make all preparations, the front army crossed Juyong Pass and evacuated in the direction of Yanqing City, It is quite possible to be completely surrounded by the post-gold tartars.

The voice outside the door was getting louder and louder, and Xiong Wencan spoke coldly.

"Come in, all of you."

As soon as the words fell, many general soldiers and deputy general soldiers poured into the house, and before Xiong Wencan could speak, some people shouted loudly.

"Marshal, the front army is surrounded by the Houjin Tartars, and there are many auspicious ones, so give the order to evacuate......"

"Dashuai, evacuate quickly, or it will be too late......"

"Dashuai, the Houjin Tartar is too powerful, evacuate quickly, and still be able to preserve your strength......"

Xiong Wencan's cold person, his eyes were unusually cold, maybe Wencan's eyes were not good, everyone quickly quieted down, they were all high-ranking generals, and the rules were clear.

After the surroundings were completely quiet, Xiong Wencan spoke expressionlessly.

"The war hasn't started yet, all of you have thought about evacuating, do you think that evacuation is so easy, since Houjin Tartar can not be discovered by the scouts and can suddenly launch an attack, do you think you can escape by evacuating?"

"Our south and west are endless plains, abandoning the steep terrain of Changyu City, evacuating towards the south and west, what kind of situation will it be, Ben Shuai doesn't want to say more, you all know that the only route we can evacuate is to cross Juyong Pass and go in the direction of Yanqing City, if we are lucky, we hope to be able to tear a hole, enter Yanqing City, and make peace with the marshal, which of you can guarantee to tear a hole in front of the more than 100,000 Golden Tartar formation."

When Xiong Wencan said this, the room was unusually quiet, and the sound of needles landing on the ground could be heard clearly.

From the breath of everyone, Xiong Wencan heard the disappointment, these chief soldiers and deputy chief soldiers were all panting, obviously with a strong uneasiness in their hearts.

"The former army has been stationed in Changyu City for four days, and it has been nine days since they left the capital, during which the scouts in charge of reconnaissance have not found any traces of the Houjin Tartars, and the Houjin Tartars can hide so deeply, what is their purpose, do you still want the commander to say it."

"In this battle, there were too many major mistakes in our intelligence, and the Han army participated in the battle among the Houjin Tartars, such important information was not known until the Houjin Tartars began to attack the city of Yanqingzhou, and the front army left the capital for nine days, and did not find the ambush of the Houjin Tartars, which was another unforgivable mistake, and the failure of the intelligence not only put the former army in a very passive position, but also endangered the safety of Beizhili."

Speaking of which, Xiong Wencan was still kneeling on the scout on the ground.

"The army of the Houjin Tartars is about to attack, the front army has no choice but to fight, the Houjin Tartars besiege Yanqing City, it must be impossible to send too many soldiers to attack, so the front army still has a chance, as long as we can resist the attack of the Houjin Tartars and defend the Changyu City, we will be able to win the opportunity to evacuate safely."

"The battle will start immediately, you are all commanders that the commander relies on, if you are afraid of the Houjin Tartars, then what should the sergeants do, abandon their weapons and surrender, the commander knows that you are afraid of the courage of the Houjin Tartars in your heart, but the matter has come to this, fear has no effect, the commander asks you to cheer up, and immediately organize all the soldiers to fight."

"Ben Shuai is with you, no matter what the battle situation is, Ben Shuai will not be the first to evacuate, Ben Shuai hopes that you will not run away from the battle, if that is the case, this Shuai will never be spared."

"Alright, you all go and get ready."

The room fell silent.

Xiong Wencan sighed softly, he knew that he had made a major mistake, he was the commander of the former army, and he was not able to find the ambush Houjin Tartar, this responsibility should undoubtedly be borne, but at this time, he could only cheer up and command the army to fight.

The scout was still on his knees, his face no longer bloody.

"Get up, go and lead the soldiers of the scout battalion to fight, and make the blame." (To be continued......)
