Chapter 851: Deserter
"Brother Donkey, how far do we have to go?" Now this Beijing camp is really too far behind the Qi family's army, and it hasn't gone far after walking for a whole day, and the ocean has not yet set down and began to set up camp, and on the first day, some people began to discuss escaping, "If you go farther, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the way back to Beijing?" ”
"See, the soldiers on patrol today still have some spirit, and it is not easy to take care of them, if you want to escape, you will be arrested if you can't escape two miles, and then not only will you have to cut off your head, but also your family. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Qingpi, known as Brother Donkey, pointed to the soldiers patrolling back and forth outside the camp and said, he didn't want to take this risk, but who made him owe gambling debts, and someone in Beijing offered a high price, in order to repay the gambling debts, he had to come to make up the number, because there was still hope to escape in the Beijing camp, but if he didn't pay off the gambling debts, there would be only a dead end.
"How long do we have to go? I'm really not sure. Zhang Donkey's younger brother Li Si has seen much less of the world than him, and this scene has long frightened him.
"Afraid of what? It's still early to Zunhua, so we just need to run before we do. I wanted to scold a few words, but I could think that Li Si's silver was deducted by himself by more than half, and Zhang Donkey was a little speechless.
"Then I listen to Brother Donkey, and when I return to the capital, I will invite Brother Donkey to drink." As soon as he heard that Jiannu was still far away, Li Si finally relaxed a little, since there was no need to fight, it was not a difficult thing to walk for two days.
"Back to the capital?" Zhang Donkey scoffed at his words, "See? Just those of us who still want to fight with Jiannu, aren't we looking for death? When Jiannu defeated the Jingying and went south, could the capital still stop them? I have a plan, this time I will leave the capital and go south, and go as far as I can before Jiannu comes, otherwise I may not be able to save my life. ”
Conversations like this are not only happening in this one, not only the green-skinned hooligans and homeless beggars who were temporarily pulled over to fill the number, but even the original affairs of Jingying are very few, or as long as they still have brains, they are not optimistic about the result of this encounter with Halal, and they are also making plans for themselves.
Before leaving the capital, Wang Qia and Zhang Zhiji watched a little closely, and not many people dared to escape, but as time passed, when the army crossed the Three Rivers and was in front of Jimen, the number of people fleeing was increasing, and Wang Qia and Zhang Zhiji could not stop the large-scale escape even if they used all their skills.
When Jimen was counting the number of people, there were only more than 30,000 of the more than 50,000 horses left when they set off from the capital, and the remaining 30,000 people were also fluctuating, looking for an opportunity to escape day and night. Let's go back to Beijing, shall we? ”
"Back to Beijing? I just finished worshipping heaven and earth and swore an oath to go on the expedition, but I didn't even go to Zunhua? Going back? "Well, go well, the more you go, the better, when these people come out, one is to hide people's eyes, and the other is to lay the groundwork for the rectification of the Beijing camp in the future, now that the purpose has been achieved, then there are many people Li You doesn't care at all, anyway, there is no hope for them to fight, these people will not only not be able to provide them with any help when they get to the battlefield, but will also add a lot of trouble, so it is better to let them run, at least they can save some food and grass for the army.
"You don't need to report these things to me, you just need to send someone to take care of the grain and grass." Li You impatiently interrupted Wang Qia's recital, "Let's go out if there is nothing else, I still want to watch the map of Zunhua." ”
The work of Jinyiwei and Dongchang is barely qualified, and they have inquired a lot about the distribution of troops under Huang Taiji, and they are all marked on the map in front of Li You, and he is thinking about the battle plan based on this information.
"But, Your Majesty, now there are not enough troops to guard the soldiers and prevent them from escaping, and if we increase the number of men to guard the grain and grass......" Wang Qia hesitated and did not dare to leave.
"I don't care how many people have run away, but if there is one less food, I will ask for your head." After saying that, he waved his hand and turned his back, and no longer bothered with Wang Qia.
Wang Qia saw that the persuasion was ineffective, so he had to leave, went down and thought about it again, and finally gritted his teeth and transferred a part of the soldiers and horses guarding the camp to guard the grain and grass, and seeing this situation, the soldiers fled faster and faster, sometimes the night passed and opened the curtain of the tent to look up, there was no one inside, and all the soldiers had fled.
Of course, along the way, it was indispensable to inquire about the news to Huang Taiji, and the news was quickly sent to Huang Taiji, he couldn't help laughing after listening to the good news brought by the spies, this Zhu Youzhen actually made such an unheard joke? Isn't Destiny really in my Dajin?
After winning this battle and capturing Zhu Youzhen, it seems that I can consider that I have ascended the throne and become emperor? With this merit, presumably Amin, Daishan, Mang Gurtai and those banner masters don't dare to say much, right?
"Haha, it's only been a few days since the 100,000 army left the city, and there are only 30,000 people left? Is this emperor of the Ming Dynasty here to fight or to surrender? Mang Gurtai's eyes widened, "Fourth, let me go to this battle, I only need to lead the men and horses of this banner to defeat these 30,000 troops." ”
"Why do you need three bailes out for such a trivial matter? It's good to send your nephews and nephews to do it, and Sanbeile should first take a look at the sons' ability to fight. "How could Huang Taiji give the credit for capturing Chongzhen to Mang Gurtai? And this reckless Gurtai got carried away as soon as he started the battle, what if he smashed Zhu Youzhen's head with a mace at that time? Isn't this a big loss, the dead Zhu Youzhen is alive and valuable?
Huang Taiji's side of the Eight Banners and Mongolian vassal soldiers combined has exceeded 100,000 people, and Zhu Youzhen only has 30,000 people, and most of his subordinates are the old, weak, sick and disabled in the Beijing camp, it is difficult to say whether there are 3,000 people who can really fight, Xuanda Army and Guan Ning Army are still obediently staying in their own stations, Huang Taiji really can't think of what risks there will be in this battle? I'm afraid the only risk is that Zhu Youzhen escaped, or died in the chaos, right?
Huang Taiji was thinking about capturing Zhu Youzhen alive no matter what, but what Li You was thinking about was that he would kill Huang Taiji in this battle, and Jiannu without Huang Taiji would immediately collapse into a plate of scattered sand.
In this way, the pro-conquest army, which had been getting smaller and smaller over the months, continued to move forward and finally came to the outside of Zunhua City.
