In the end, Huang Taiji vetoed Mang Gutai's suggestion of "dividing troops to conquer Malanyu, connecting the Great Wall of Jizhou into a line, and then attacking the pass", but chose to join forces to enter the pass brazenly, and on the 10th day of the first month, the troops came to the city of Zunhua.

Garrisoned in Zunhua was first Yang Hao's staff, and then Sun Chengzong's reused Mao Yuanyi, who had followed Chongzhen in the battle of Juehua and made meritorious contributions, and was transferred to Zunhua a year ago as the deputy commander-in-chief.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the non-stop Dugu Ling had already arrived here through Jizhou and passed on the warning to him. Although Mao Yuanyi didn't think that Jiannu really had such a big arm, he was still careful to be on guard.

On the eighth day of the first month, the scouts sent by Mao Yuanyi caught some soldiers who had retreated from the Great Wall, and escorted them to him for some questioning.

On the 10th day of the first month, Huang Taiji led his army to Zunhua City and immediately stormed.

The other two roads, led by Daishan and Amin, arrived one after another.

Mao Yuanyi led the army to resist to the death, and the people of the whole city, Jin Fu, decided to help the war with all his might, but he was outnumbered, fought hard for five days, Zunhua City fell on the night of the Lantern Festival, Mao Yuanyi died angrily, and many soldiers died in battle, and a small number of them broke up at night.

The battle situation of Zunhua City will be reported to the Beijing Division and the surrounding compatriots.

When the news spread, Gyeonggi was shocked, Gyeongshi was shaken, and even the entire north was dumbfounded.

Huang Taiji couldn't imagine that the resistance of a military town would be so fierce, so he hesitated whether he should continue to move south. Manggutai suggested slaughtering the city to intimidate nearby towns, but Amin was neutral and Ah Shan was against it.

Huang Taiji finally overcame the psychological barrier of the Jurchen people for hundreds of years, and marched westward to attack the important town of Jizhou.

This is the main road to Jingshi in the northeast, and even Guan Ningjun wants to enter the king of Guanqin, but also has to pass through here.

If it falls, the battle will become extremely passive.

It is precisely for this reason that, in order to prevent trouble, the chief soldier Ma Shilong was redeployed to guard it.

Ma Shilong stationed heavy soldiers in Jizhou, and attached great importance to it after the warning of Dugu Ling, and Chongzhen has been supporting him with more advanced firearms, and was surprised to learn that Jiannu suddenly arrived, stuck to the city gate, and fired artillery ballistas.

Huang Taiji personally supervised the division and worked hard for several days, but he was never able to conquer it.

Huang Taiji once again suffered from gains and losses, and Mang Gutai took the opportunity to suggest going north again to seize Ma Lanyu.

Huang Taiji said angrily: "Ma Lanyu is just a very small pass of the Great Wall, how can it be occupied? What if you don't take possession? What are the benefits of this battle? Erdignified Golden Country Baylor is in person, why is his vision so shallow? ”

Mang Gutai was refuted in public, reckless and angry, and wanted to raise a knife to cut him, but was stopped by Ah Shan and Amin.

After calming down, he felt scared again, and remembered the story of the Han family's "peace with each other", so he took the initiative to go to Huang Taiji to confess. However, Huang Taiji is not similar to Lin Xiang, and he is not incorruptible, and the former took the opportunity to punish him for his crimes.

Crime: Disrespectful.

Originally, he was going to be locked up, but Ah Shan said that Huang Taiji changed his mind and only stripped him of his military power.

Mang Gutai was full of grief and anger, and his bull-like body couldn't bear it, and he fell ill in this Han land.

Ah Shan was angry that when he should have been united, he went to find Huang Taiji's stubble, so he didn't appease.

Mang Gutai lost his only maneuver, and he was in a state of collapse.

This Houjin Sanbeiler, who was once in Liaodong, is about to come to an end as soon as he enters the customs.

Is it because Huang Taiji is deliberately weakening the power of the former Eight Baylors?

Is it because the Manggutai people, as their name suggests, are too reckless and upright?

"No, it's not." After the report, Chongzhen Caoyi Wei said, "It is the elegance of the Han family that obliterates his aristocratic spirit, and this erasure is by no means limited to him, but will also become a dark cloud hanging over the heads of the rest of Baylor, lingering. ”

Zhou Yuji was especially convinced by Chongzhen's language ability, and asked with a light smile: "Who will be next?" ”

Yuan Qi said without thinking: "Big Belle Ashan, Amin? Or Bel Azig the Younger, Dodor? ”

Huang Xiaolu said thoughtfully: "I think Amin is the most likely. ”

"How so?" The subordinate generals all set their eyes on this personal guard who followed Chongzhen almost all the time.

Huang Xiaoyu looked at Chongzhen, his face full of expectation.

Chongzhen looked at him and encouraged, "Yes, it must be him." ”

Everyone looked at each other and laughed. I was not anxious or discouraged because of Jiannu's rash entry. On the contrary, for the next series of battles, the use of troops to squeeze the space for Jiannu to flow, and the final victory is full of expectations.

Huang Taiji sneaked through Jizhou under Ah Shan's strong persuasion and continued to march eastward.

The troops were divided on the tenth day, and one route was led by Ah Shan to force the main road of the Beijing Division.

He personally led the army and Amin to attack Shunyi and break it.

In the process of Huang Taiji's arrival in Zunhua and the siege, Yuan Chonghuan was full of anger, and had personally led the army west out of Shanhaiguan, all the way non-stop, passing through Yongping, arriving in Qian'an, and then west to Zunhua.

The commander-in-chief Zhao led the education as his vanguard, lived up to the name of "Rushing General", and arrived in the eastern suburbs of Zunhua at the fastest speed.

Huang Taiji surrounded the point and sent Azig, who was with the army to fight, to meet the battle.

Although Zhao Shujiao only had 3,000 light cavalry, he was fearless, and fought bravely to buy time, and was finally surrounded by Huang Taiji's left flank four banners and some of the Mongolian soldiers who followed and tried to take advantage of the fire to loot.

The rain of arrows was like locusts, covering the grove that Zhao Shujiao had temporarily rectified.

A wolf-tooth arrow roared through the trees and nailed Zhao Shujiao's chest, causing him to fall from his horse.

Fortunately, when Shigezhen led the 800 musketeers back to Beijing, he handed over all the new armor to him.

The young man Chongzhen was similar to the middle-aged Zhao Shujiao, so the set on his body was given to him.

"It's hard to protect the iron clothes", a good set of armor was invaluable in ancient times.

And how can there be a general who doesn't love armor? Even Zhao Shujiao was no exception and gladly accepted.

Therefore, when the panicked pro-army helped him up, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the main general was not injured at all except for being a little stunned. At this point, although Zhao led the Ministry of Education to be under siege, its morale still did not fall.

Zhang Pan, who was always on standby, led the army north, arrived at the battlefield at this time, and joined the battle group without saying a word. Although the Zhang Pan Department is mainly infantry, because it is under the command of Chongzhen Shizun, it has the closest relationship with Chongzhen.

The Denglai Navy Division began to switch from pure cold weapons to cold and hot weapons very early, and long-range attack weapons such as muskets and artillery were relatively well equipped.

"Zhang Pan, the general of the Denglai Army and the Naval Division, the king of Qin, go ashore!" Zhang Panjian pointed at Azig and yelled,

Azig was furious, but fearing the power of the Great Ming Firearms, he did not send cavalry to pursue, but led the army to line up in the southern suburbs of Zunhua, and at the same time sent people to Huang Taiji to restore his life.

When Huang Taiji learned that Zhao Shujiao had successfully broken through, he secretly shouted that it was a pity, but he did not blame Azig, and learned that it was Zhang Pan's department of the Denglai Army who came to the rescue, and he was both surprised and happy.
