Hong Chengchou soon found out that the Houjin Tatars besieged Yanqing Prefecture City, as if they had no intention of taking the state city in a short time, for ten consecutive days, the attack was on a very small scale, watching the rumbling of drums and cannons, it was very lively, in fact, there were very few sergeants involved in the attack, more often it was a form, and the two sides of the attack and defense had almost no losses.

This reminded Hong Chengchou of the Battle of the Daling River.

An ominous premonition instantly appeared in his mind, and the first thing that came to mind after the Jin Tatars besieged Yanqing Prefecture City was probably not to take the state city, but to attract more imperial army to come for reinforcements, so that the Houjin Tartars could take the opportunity to eliminate the living forces of the imperial court.

After understanding the tactical deployment of the Houjin Tartars, Hong Chengchou sent scouts out of the city to deliver a letter, warning Gao Qiqian not to easily reinforce them, so as not to suffer unnecessary losses, since the Houjin Tartars besieged Yanqing Zhou City, then Hong Chengchou could hold back the main force of the Houjin Tartars, once the real attack began, Gao Qiqian led the army to reinforce, which could play a role.

It's a pity that Houjin Tartar has completely surrounded Yanqing City, and the letter can't be sent at all.

At this time, Hong Chengchou already regretted it very much in his heart, his tactical arrangement should be good, but there will be a lot of accidents in the battle, and the generals who command the operation must be able to judge the situation and make accurate judgments, but unfortunately the supervising army Gao Qiqian may not have such a judgment ability, of course, Hong Chengchou still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, that is, Gao Qiqian may not really reinforce because he is afraid of the Houjin Tartar.

The 50,000 former army led by Xiong Wencan set out from Beijing and headed in the direction of Yanqing Prefecture.

Xiong Wencan was very careful, sent countless scouts along the road to reconnoiter the situation, the speed of the army was not fast, it took 50,000 troops three days to arrive in Changping Prefecture, the average daily march was only about thirty miles.

Changping Prefecture City has become a ruin, and there is no human population in sight, scouts after the reconnaissance of Changping Prefecture City. once reported the situation, Xiong Wencan didn't believe it very much, in his impression, Changping was very close to the capital. It has always been a very prosperous place, but seeing the lifeless and almost unmanned Changping Prefecture City with his own eyes, Xiong Wencan really believed it, it seems that after the Jin Tatars occupied Changping Prefecture City, they burned, killed and looted all kinds of evil. It has turned Changping into a ghost town.

Anger filled Xiong Wencan's heart, he had not seen the city ravaged by battle, and the Liukou in Henan were also looted, but such a tragic situation was still rarely seen.

It has been several days since the Jin Tatars evacuated Changping Prefecture, and there is still smoke in the city, some burned houses, and uncollected corpses on the street, which are so shocking.

Xiong Wencan stayed in Changping Prefecture for a day, and the main task of the army was to collect the corpses. Find a place to bury it outside the city, as for other aspects, Xiong Wencan has no choice.

The city of Changping has been completely destroyed and has lost the value of garrisoning, and it is impossible for the army to stay here.

From Changping Prefecture City to Yanqing Prefecture City, the distance is not more than 100 miles, if the army marches at the fastest speed, it can be reached in a day at most, but it is definitely not possible to rush to the rescue. Xiong Wencan needs to think carefully about how to disrupt all the deployments of the Houjin Tartars and relieve the besieged Hong Chengchou.

A day later, an army of 50,000 arrived at Juyong Pass.

This is already a place under the jurisdiction of Yanqing Prefecture. Juyong Pass and Badaling Great Wall, originally a city wall to resist foreign enemies, the terrain is dangerous, a husband is not open, but unfortunately there is not a garrison soldier on the city wall, Baiyangkou and Changyu City are empty. The Great Wall has lost its role as a defender of the capital, but will thwart the army's journey after the battle has actually begun.

It is only more than forty miles away from Yanqing City, and beyond the Great Wall, there is a large plain in front of it, and the battle may start at any time, so all arrangements must be made.

Xiong Wencan asked the army to set up camp in Changyu City, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts, and after making up, he crossed Juyong Pass and went to reconnoiter the situation around Yanqing City.

Xiong Wencan has his own arrangements and deployment, he will not attack easily, must be when the Houjin Tartars attack Yanqing City with all their might, the 50,000 army will really start to attack, of course, if the Houjin Tartars divide their troops to besiege the front army led by him, it doesn't matter, the terrain of Changyu City is very special, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible for the Houjin Tartars to attack it in a short time, and after the Houjin Tartars divide the troops, the pressure on Yanqing Prefecture City will be greatly reduced, and perhaps Hong Chengchou can also lead the army to carry out a counteroffensive.

Some battles that seem to be sinister in the situation, because of the bravery of the sergeants, can be victorious, and some are obviously victorious battles, because of the mistakes of command or the timidity of the sergeants, they will also suffer a crushing defeat, Xiong Wencan led 50,000 troops to be stationed in Changyu City, the danger must exist, but at this time, even if it is stationed in the capital, there is also a danger.

The scout's reconnaissance was not particularly smooth, Xiong Wencan could only wait patiently for news, but fortunately, the grain and grass carried by the army were sufficient, and they could be stationed in Changyu City for a long time.

The 50,000 army has been stationed in Changyu City for three days, and the scouts have reconnoitred within a radius of twenty miles, but they have not received any news, and they have not seen the Houjin Tartars, which makes Xiong Wencan feel strange, is it possible that the Houjin Tartars have such great self-confidence, and they are not afraid of reinforcements from the army if they boldly attack Yanqing City.

The 50,000 former army led by Du Du did not launch any attack, and after Dolgon led 100,000 Chinese troops to attack the city of Yanqingzhou, he led 50,000 soldiers into Tianshou Mountain and completely hidden.

It is said that Du Du's task is to continue to loot in Beizhili and provide food and grass for Dolgon, but when Dolgon led the army to leave, he secretly arranged for Du Du to wait near Changping Prefecture, if the Ming army wants to reinforce Yanqing City, it is basically necessary to pass through Changping Prefecture, Du Du's first task is to defeat the Ming army that came to reinforce, so that the Ming army does not dare to continue to reinforce Yanqing Prefecture, and then you can rest assured that you can boldly plunder other cities.

Dolgon's operations have always been comprehensively arranged, although he also looked down on the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, but there can be no problems in the combat deployment, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, let alone such a major battle.

The scouts have been scouting around all the time, and their actions are very secretive, while Du Du led an army of 50,000 to hide in Tianshou Mountain.

Xiong Wencan led the army through the city of Changping Prefecture, and Du Du soon learned the news.

He did not rush to attack, judging from the situation reported by the scouts, the number of reinforcements of the Ming army was quite large, estimated to be about 50,000 people, if the attack time was too early, the Ming army quickly withdrew, then it would not be able to achieve a complete victory.

Du Du's heart is very big, and his goal is to completely annihilate the Ming army that rescues.

As Chu Ying's eldest son, Du Du's identity is a little embarrassing, his father Chu Ying was once the heir to the Khan throne of Houjin, and he is the eldest son of Nurhachi, the trust of Nurhachi is deep, and his status is far above Huang Taiji, but unfortunately because of his own reasons, he was suspected by Nurhachi, and was finally executed by Nurhachi in the forty-third year of Wanli, and was only thirty-six years old when he was executed.

Du Du is also brave and resourceful, but unfortunately because of the special identity matters, can not get real attention, can be named Anping Baylor, is already a miracle, although Huang Taiji inherited the throne of Khan, canonized Chu Ying as Guangluo Baylor, is considered to be Chu Ying's rehabilitation, this move also reflects Huang Taiji's mind, but as Chu Ying's eldest son, Du Du's grievances ordinary people can not know.

Under such circumstances, the depressed Du Du thought that he could make great contributions, but fortunately, Prince Rui was generous and trusted, so that he led 50,000 former troops to fight alone, and seized this opportunity, Du Du fought very bravely, but also cruel.

This battle can make a great contribution, after Du Du goes back, not to mention whether he can be promoted, at least he can show his ability and loyalty, so that Huang Taiji can also rest assured.

With this purpose in mind, Du Du became much more cautious in his operations.

The scouts who went out to reconnoiter were not many, but they were all the most elite warriors in the Eight Banners, and they could be one against one hundred, and these scouts could hide their whereabouts well and not be discovered by the other party.

After learning that the reinforced Ming army was stationed in Changyu Castle, Du Du's face showed a cruel smile.

The scouts have already outlined the surrounding terrain, Changyu City is close to Juyong Pass, on the surface it is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, and the attacking sergeants may encounter heavy losses, but such a place also has one of the biggest flaws, that is, the garrison sergeants are easily unable to evacuate, once they are besieged in Changyu City, it is basically difficult to evacuate safely.

This is what Du Du wants to see, and he is sure that he will completely annihilate the reinforced Ming army.

If he can achieve such a major victory, then the credit of his Dudu is not ordinary.

All the soldiers under his command are brave warriors of the Eight Banners, there is no problem in attacking the Ming army, casualties are inevitable, at least as few casualties as possible.

Du Du, who was full of confidence, began to deploy, Tianshou Mountain was less than twenty miles away from Changyu City, this distance was nothing to the warriors of the Eight Banners, all Du Du had to do was to catch the Ming army off guard.

The pro-soldiers around them found that Du Du began to become excited, they knew very well that the appearance of Lord Belle showed such a look, indicating that the war was coming, in the past few days, the scouts kept reporting relevant information, and many of the soldiers also knew some, there were reinforcements of the Ming army coming, and Lord Belle was afraid that he would lead the army to annihilate the Ming army that came to reinforce him.

The warriors of the Eight Banners are not only not afraid of battle, but also like to fight, because fighting means more money and income, and they can distribute a large part of the captured money.

The news quickly spread privately, and many sergeants were very excited. (To be continued.) )
