The Victory Fort and the border town of Kill Hukou, which are close to the Naturalization City, are the most tense, but the pass is not completely closed, and some people enter and exit with the Governor's Mansion token. The Qing army gathered near Naturalization, which temporarily relieved the defenders of Xuanfu.
In the early morning haze, the Great Wall of Xuanfu opened in the sound of "squeak", which was the first time in ten days that the city gate was opened, and two columns of cavalry rushed out.
"I wish General Zhai a victory!" Yang 6 Kai came to see him off, in fact, he really wanted to follow Zhai Zhe out of the fortress to fight, but the governor never let go. Lu Xiangsheng was afraid that he would send a prison army to Zhai Zhe to make him shrink back from everything, which would not be conducive to the war. Subconsciously, Lu Xiangsheng knew that Zhai Zhe had a secret hidden from him in the grassland.
"Wait for my good news!" Zhai Zhe stroked the shiny fur of the jujube red horse. The jujube red horse snorted briefly and wagged his tail, he still needed time to establish a tacit understanding with these war horses.
From the Great Wall of Xuanfu, Zhai Zhe's purpose was to threaten the rear of the Qing captives and disperse the strength of the Qing army. This time, he made a huge plan, of course, there may be countless variables in its implementation, one depends on the situation on the battlefield in Monan.
The cavalry passed through the Zhangjiakou bazaar, which was deserted, and the defenders of Zhangjiakou Fort had retreated to the Seine. Walking out of Zhangjiakou, the Zhangba grassland is as quiet as before.
"Plus, in the direction of the Duoyan Grassland!" Zhai Zhe's right arm was raised, pointing forward. Four thousand five hundred cavalry ghostly passed through the sparse jungle, but this was where the Jurchen scouts focused their attention.
"If there are no accidents, a grain convoy will pass by the front today!" Xiao Zhiyan's sense of smell is no less than that of any hunting dog, and he has been active in the Monan grassland these days.
After walking forward for less than half an hour, a convoy appeared on the grassland in front of him, and he was retreating in a panic in the direction of the Duoyan grassland.
"Surround them!" The black waist knife was unsheathed, which was a gift from Lu Xiangsheng to Zhai Zhe at his wedding by Daihai.
Xiao Zhiyan's light cavalry came out of the line like an arrow from a string, and the seventy or eighty cavalry in the convoy in the distance flew away, leaving behind more than a dozen mule and horse carts. A quarter of an hour later, Zhai Zhe arrived close and lifted the tent of the mule and horse cart, and the yellow millet was exposed in his breath.
"Pretty fast!" Xiao Zhiyan looked at the Jurchen cavalry in the distance and cursed.
"This is a gift from Huang Taiji to us, but a little too little!" Zhai Zhe grabbed a handful of rice millet and threw it in the air.
In order to test whether the Xuanda Town of the Ming Dynasty would participate in this battle in Monan, Huang Taiji deliberately scattered the grain and grass in the generals, and there were not many cavalry guards, so that once it was attacked by a sneak attack, it would not lose too much. If it is determined that the Ming will enter the war, he will adopt a new strategy. Although the Mongols helped the Ming last year, whether the Ming would help the Mongols is inconclusive in the minds of many people, the Ming army has not fought for many years, and there is a lack of cavalry.
"My lord, do you really want to implement that plan?" Xiao Zhiyan is no longer as open-minded as before. In fact, he is far from being as free and easy as he usually is, and his free and easy is limited to himself.
"Yes, since I walked into the Monan grassland, I have been constantly chased and beaten by the Qing captives, I have had enough, this time, if God can help me, I will make Huang Taiji no longer able to touch the land of Monan." Zhai Zhe urged the jujube red horse to go around the grain cart for a week, and ordered: "Escort back to Daming!" ”
Huang Taiji worked far away, he must not have expected to be blocked on the banks of the Yellow River, he gathered so many Mongolian tribes this time, if he could not achieve results, it would inevitably greatly damage the prestige of the Qing Dynasty. Since the founding of the Jurchen state, from the Jin to the Qing Dynasty, there were many victors and few defeaters in repeated wars, and the great battle that determined the fortunes of the country was only defeated once by Yuan Chonghuan in the Battle of Ningjin, and once by the Mongol tribes during the Western Expedition. Mo Nan has become the place that determines the fortunes of the Qing Dynasty, and this time Lu Xiangsheng's promise made Zhai Zhe not just want Huang Taiji to return in vain.
"If you can get your wish in this battle, the position of the general army of Datong will not be far away." Zuo Ruo didn't know if he was flattering or saying what was in his heart.
"It's time to see the diligence!" Zhai Zhe was afraid of beating the horse, "Let's go to the Duoyan Grassland for a walk." ”
The news here will soon reach the Tuoketuo Grassland, where it can contain at least 5,000 cavalry, and it is the most elite cavalry of the Jurchens.
Hanzhai, the rabbit hair river is roaring.
The cottage was home to more than 6,000 people, most of whom were Tumut Han slaves.
The city wall of the pass is much stronger than before, probably because Feng Qin saw the power of the Qing cannon, and piled up more than a dozen huge stones behind the city wall, so that the gap at the city gate can only accommodate one horse to pass through guò.
Standing on the top of the mountain, the view is very good, and when he takes off his helmet every time, the Jurchen cavalry continues to come from the mountains and forests, and camp on the grassland five or six miles away.
A scribe in his forties with a group of high-pitched soldiers interspersed among the Han slaves. He was Wang Yi who had just been ordered by Zhai Zhe to get out of the fortress, and the last batch of grain arrived at the same time as him.
Wang Yi's face turned red, and he clapped his hands and pointed down the mountain, "Have you seen it, those are the murderous Jurchens, because last year the Jurchen Belle Yue Tuo died in naturalization, they came to avenge Yue Tuo this time, and all the Tumut tribes were slaughtered!" The loud soldiers scattered among the Han slaves, echoing everywhere.
Many of the Han soldiers were familiar with these Han slaves, and they were almost the same group eight years ago, but their life trajectories were completely different.
"We take you in, because the adults know that you are Han!" The soldier roared, and the weapon in his hand clanged, "Han people! ”
"Your Excellency once let you out of the fortress, and you were slaved by the Tumertes, but you survived! This time, in order to let you live again, the Hanbu would rather let us accompany you to die! ”
"Hold Hanzhai until the last man!"
"Defend Hanzhai!" Hannu's eyes were red, and he shouted after the crowd. They may or may not believe these words, but at least the former Han Department did take them in.
Hearing the shouts behind him, Feng Qin frowned imperceptibly, but didn't say anything. He and Wang Yi performed their own duties, and sticking to Hanzhai was their only goal.
Wang Yi once served as the de facto head of the Han Ministry's secret camp, and he had a lot of eyeliner among the Han slaves, perhaps it was for this reason that he re-entered Zhai Zhe's eyes. This time to take on the heavy responsibility, although it is the most dangerous place, Wang Yi cherishes it very much, he is one of the elders of the Han Dynasty, because of Geng Guang's corruption, he was implicated, and he became a marginal person when Zhai Zhe was thriving after entering the fortress, how could he be willing.
"Defend Hanzhai!" Wang Yi stood among the Han slaves and waved his hands. He had a hunch that if he succeeded this time, there would be a smooth road ahead of him.
The 5,000 Hannu were divided into 10 teams according to their body and age, and they were led by the soldiers who were on duty, divided their swords and guns, and began to familiarize themselves with the orders in the army.
Qinglu came faster than expected, but also less than expected. This time, it was still the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners who fought in the front. Huang Taiji seems to be somewhat addicted to the use of Han pawns, and it is not heartbroken to lose him.
At the foot of the mountain, Du Du and Geng Zhongming rode around the mountain for most of the week, secretly frightened, this cottage is not as simple as imagined when he came.
Dudu pointed to the top of the hill and said, "This was the old camp of the Tumuthan tribe, and those people have been running here for seven or eight years, and they have built this place as solid as gold. He has many more sources than Geng Zhongming, "Since the Han Ministry invested in the Ming Dynasty, this place has become a hiding place for Tumut Hannu in the war!" ”
"Maybe the mountains are full of slaves!" Du Du turned his face to Geng Zhongming, who had been silent, "Your Majesty has handed over the head work to you!" ”
"If it's all Han slaves, it's weird!" Geng Zhongming scolded in his heart. Tumut has fled into the loop, and these Hannu will have food to eat if they stay here.
"Attack the mountain!" Du Du ordered with a raised face. Geng Zhongming was also crowned king, but in the eyes of these people of the Aixin Jueluo family, he was nothing.
"Attack the mountain!" The herald's horses galloped and their flags waved.
Two columns of Han soldiers carried the ladder to the sheep intestine path leading to the Han village.
"Archer!" Du Du clapped his hands and ordered.
More than 100 bows and arrows with white flags lined up in three columns to follow the Han pawns, and the Jurchens' archery skills were far superior to the Han pawns.
At the battlement on the first city wall, the defending archers tightened the bowstring in their hands with their waists, and there were not many excellent archers in the Han village, but fortunately, the pass was very narrow, and many people were juxtaposed.
"Shoot!" The arrows in the battlement's eyes pierced through the chest of the forerunner like eyes. The foot soldiers carrying the ladder moved faster, and at this distance they would only be a target for the defenders. The Jurchen archers hurried close to return fire, but the battlements at the head of the wall were so cleverly designed that the defenders could shoot arrows downward without exposing their heads.
The iron hook of the ladder scraped on the bluestone at the head of the city and resounded a piercing scream, and the Han soldier held the wooden ladder and climbed like a flying net. They had not been trained long ago, and they were Han soldiers, so they did not have the heavy armor that the Jurchens always had.
At the top of the city, a group of disorganized defenders, including samurai in armor and refugees in ragged clothes, slashed at the Qinglu who were about to climb to the top of the city.
The second-rate attackers met the second-rate defenders, and in order to familiarize these Han slaves with the battlefield as soon as possible, Feng Qin ordered the elite soldiers under his command to suppress the formation, and there were personal soldiers to participate in the command, and the battle at the head of the first city wall was very lively.
On the top of Hanzhai Mountain, Feng Qin stared intently at the battle situation under the mountain. As it stands, there is no need to use firearms for the time being, and firearms such as the Bird Gun must be reserved for opponents who are worth dealing with.
As cannon fodder, without the consciousness of cannon fodder, the Han Eight Banner infantry attacked for less than half an hour, and fled in defeat. They have never given their masters a decent victory. Geng Zhongming killed two people in a row to stop the rout, otherwise he was worried that these people would take this opportunity to flee all the way to Liaodong.
"Rubbish!" Du Du muttered in his mouth that he was very opposed to Huang Taiji's formation of the Han Eight Banners.
"There are Ming officers and soldiers on the mountain!" Geng Zhongming found a good excuse for himself, it was not very far away, he could see the guards at the head of the city clearly, and those armors were not something that Han Nu could have.
