Without the harassment of the cavalry of Zhao Sect's department, Mang Gurtai marched much faster and successfully joined forces with Huangtaiji in Sanhe County.

Hearing that Mang Gurtai's camp had been attacked and that as many as six or seven thousand horses had been lost, Huang Taiji was furious. Such a big loss can be called a fiasco, not to mention the loss of more than 1,000 clothed soldiers and more than 300 bannermen!

Fortunately, it is wartime, and there are Dai Shan, Zilharang and others to intercede for Mang Gurtai, Huang Taiji did not punish heavily, but confiscated Mang Gurtai's ten Niu Lu, stripped his left wing four banners to lead the army, and changed to Dai Shan to lead the left wing four banners, and Mang Gurtai changed to control the military camp. The guard battalion, composed of white-armored soldiers and red-armored soldiers of each banner, followed by Huang Taiji's side, every time there is a big battle, the escort battalion is the main force of the battle, it seems that the commander of the escort battalion is high and powerful, but in fact it has lost the power to lead an army alone.

In the past, the position of the commander of the guard battalion has always been held by Dai Shan, because Huang Taiji was afraid of Dai Shan's strength and refused to let Dai Shan lead the troops alone. Now Mang Gurtai has made a big mistake, Amin has stayed in Shengjing City, among the four major Baylors, except for Huang Taiji himself, only Daishan has the highest position, and the other Baylors are not qualified.

After the two armies met, they easily captured Sanhe County and slaughtered the city as usual. Then Huang Taiji did not delay any longer, and led the army to the west, towards Beijing, the capital of the Ming Kingdom.

Successively captured several county seats, except for Jizhou City, the border wall defense line north of Jizhou was beaten to pieces, in Huang Taiji's opinion, there is no need to stay near Jizhou longer.

Drawing the lesson of Mang Gurtai's attack, while marching, Huangtaiji Guang sent sentinels, dozens of Jiannu cavalry, hundreds of people, and the farthest cavalry was released for hundreds of miles.

The reason why it was so far away was, of course, not only to avoid being attacked, but also to explore the movements of the Ming army in various places.

Now the Eight Banners are putting on a posture of smashing Beijing City, Beijing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, how can the Ming army in various places not move? The Ming army in various places must have been busy going to Beijing to rescue King Qin.

As long as the specific location of the Ming army is detected, Huang Taiji will send troops to attack it. The Ming army hiding in the city is not easy to fight, and Huang Taiji has absolute confidence in eliminating the Ming army in the field!

And the most feared by Huang Taiji is the Liaoxi soldiers commanded by Sun Chuanting, the Liao Governor of the Ming Kingdom! Last year, Huang Taiji suffered a big loss at the hands of Sun Chuanting, a thousand cavalry were burned clean, and then the grain transportation team was attacked, and tens of thousands of loads of grain were burned to ashes.

Therefore, in Huang Taiji's heart, Sun Chuanting's threat to Houjin is far greater than that of Yuan Chonghuan, the original governor of Liaodong!

Of course, Huang Taiji is not afraid of Sun Chuanting. Although Sun Chuanting is powerful, he has left the special terrain of the Liaoxi Corridor, and without the tall city walls of Jinzhou and Ningyuan, the Liaoxi soldiers in his hands cannot be the opponent of the Eight Banners at all!

So from the moment he broke through the border wall, Huang Taiji has been paying attention to the Liaoxi soldiers, but waiting and waiting, only waiting for Zhao to lead the education department in Shanhaiguan, but Sun Chuanting's Liaoxi soldiers have no trace.

However, Huang Taiji believed that as long as he attacked the city of Beijing, Sun Chuanting would have to show up, and Sun Chuanting would not be able to watch him attack the city of Beijing, in which case the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would not be able to spare him.

All the way to the west, but never found the movement of Sun Chuanting's Liaoxi soldiers, the sentinel instead found that a Ming army of nearly 10,000 people was driving from Shunyi City in the west to Beijing, under the banner of Datong General Soldier Mangui.

Have the Datong soldiers arrived? Huang Taiji sneered. Immediately ordered Mang Gurtai to lead the Eight Banners to protect 5,000 cavalry to raid the Mangui Department.

......

As soon as the Jiannu invasion was obtained, the Ming court rushed 800 miles and summoned the army from all over the country. Datong is just west of Xuanfu, and it is 700 miles away from Beijing. However, just after passing Juyong Pass, he received a military order from Sun Chuanting, the governor of Jiliao, ordering him to lead his troops to garrison Shunyi City.

At the same time, Huang Degong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, was ordered by Sun Chuanting to guard Changping. Huang Degong honestly stopped in Changping and did not go to Beijing again. Because Huang Degong knew Sun Chuanting's status in the emperor's heart, he also admired Sun Chuanting's fighting skills, and knew that Sun Chuanting must have a deep meaning in not letting him go to Beijing.

Man Gui was not convinced by Sun Chuanting, it was clear that Jiannu was about to fight under the city of Beijing, but Sun Chuanting did not let himself lead troops to rescue Beijing! Maybe Sun Chuanting had other purposes, but Man Gui did not agree with it, and he did not intend to carry out Sun Chuanting's military orders.

Shunyi is just a small county town, and Jiannu may not come, even if it is kept, what can it do? Nearly 10,000 troops did not go to Beijing, but stayed in this place, what did Sun Chuanting want to do?

Sun Chuanting just became the governor of Jiliao, but he was in command of the Datong border army, why should he obey his command?

It is necessary to go to Beijing, and only when you reach the city of Beijing can the emperor and the imperial court see their loyalty! to be reused!

This is what Man Gui and some other generals think. It was with this idea in mind that Man Gui chose to abandon Shunyi and led his army to Beijing, but when he was still more than a hundred miles away from Beijing, he was attacked by the Mang Gurtai cavalry.

At that time, the Datong soldiers of Mangui were on the march, and they did not expect to encounter Jiannu here, and when the sentry cavalry came to report that Jiannu was coming, it was already late, and there was no time to even sort out the defensive queue.

Nearly 10,000 troops were defeated by Jiannu with a blow, and Man Gui, under the protection of his henchmen, fought desperately to get out of the encirclement. And Mang Gurtai defeated the Mangui army, took advantage of the situation to kill Shunyi, and a day later broke through the county seat of Shunyi, and left proudly with a large amount of looted materials after the slaughter.

Man Gui gathered the defeated troops who had fled, obtained more than 2,000 people, and continued to drive towards the city of Beijing.

It doesn't matter if you lose, you must let the court know your loyalty! Now that Jiannu is attacking on a large scale, it is the time to employ people, and Man Gui does not think that the imperial court will pursue his defeat, but will entrust himself with a heavy responsibility. On the contrary, if you return to Datong like this, you will be held accountable by the imperial court afterwards.

"What a stupid reckless!" Hearing the news of Mangui's defeat, Huang Degong sneered.

Obviously, Sun Chuanting has sent an order, ordering Man Gui to guard Shunyi City, but Man Gui is in a hurry to show that he has to go to Beijing, and now the army is defeated and lost not to mention, Shunyi City was also slaughtered by Jiannu, isn't it stupid and what? What a foolishness, killing countless people!

Before receiving the order of the imperial court, Huang Degong did not plan to go to Beijing and decided to stay in Changping honestly, but Huang Degong was not idle, but divided a part of the army to recover the Shunyi county town abandoned by Jiannu, which is at least a credit.

Behind Changping is Xuanfu, north of Shunyi is Miyun Gubeikou, holding these two county seats, it is equivalent to holding the border wall defense line north of Beijing, Jiannu will not be able to retreat from Gubeikou and other places.
