Batush failed to attack the royal farmstead with a bull.

Not to mention the loss of hundreds of people, even his own life was put into it.

"What?!"

Azig, a tall and rugged-faced strong man who learned of the situation, was taken aback and immediately became furious: "Attacking a farm, killing a hundred people by a group of farmers, you waste, you will return defeated, the lord will be killed, why didn't you follow to die (Jiannu has a rule that the master will kill all his subordinates in battle, but snatching back the body of the master can reduce the punishment)?" ”

"Banner master, that farm is not easy to fight, there are thousands of young people in it, all desperately resisting, there are several miles of earthen walls, like a dock fort, and the hoes used by those farmers are extremely sharp, can break heavy armor, our Niu Lu really has dozens of brothers, who were killed by that strange hoe, in addition, they also have poison, lime, and many means, we can't resist it."

The white-armored soldiers who had escaped explained.

"So you were defeated with a hoe?"

Azig wondered if his ears had misheard, hoe? Can a peasant defeat his elite armor with a hoe and kill a third of his Niulu's men and horses? Is these defeated soldiers crazy, or is he himself crazy, how can he accept this kind of absurdity? The elite of the Eight Banners is so weak that it can be defeated with a hoe?

Azig was so annoyed that he wanted to order the slaughter of these defeaters, but they were all in the same voice, repeatedly emphasizing the power of the strange hoe, showing the appearance of cotton armor and iron armor dug by the hoe, and they all vouched for their lives, and everything they said was true, and they did not believe that the banner owner could lead his troops to attack the farm, confirm it with his own eyes, and then decide what to do with them.

"Okay, I'll take people to meet those farmers with hoes, if you deceive me, all of them will be reduced to banner slaves!"

Azig said coldly.

Then he sent Bayala pro-soldiers, and on the same day, he gathered a few Niulu who were looting in the surrounding area, and concentrated the strength of about 1,500 people in five Niulu.

The next morning, under the guidance of the defeated soldiers, they came to the front of the No. 10 Royal Farm.

See the low earthen wall.

See the general situation of Shonai.

Hearing Bang Bangbang's early warning, the young people in the village reacted quite panickedly, and the hoe in their hands was not strange except for the sharp edge.

Azig had already decided that he had been deceived by those defeated soldiers, and that such a farm, one Niu Lu could be taken, and there was no need for so many people.

"Amba Etu, take your Niulu, and within two hours, take this farm!" Azig said to a cow beside him.

"Yes, Banner Master!"

Amba Etu, who looked like a bear, released a bloodthirsty light in his eyes, and rushed over with three hundred men.

……

Inside Farm A No. 10.

"Don't panic, don't mess around!"

"Just continue to follow yesterday's method of dealing with the enemy."

"We have five thousand young people, and the Tartars are only one or two thousand, even if we all die in battle, the Tartars don't think about it, fight with them and die together!"

Fang Yizhi, who was holding a megaphone in his hand, appeared in time, and it quickly had the effect of stabilizing people's hearts - the commotion just now was also because Zou Zhuoliang, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, must take Fang Yizhi back to the capital, and was about to set off, when the Tartar army came again, but the people in the village thought that Manager Fang had left, and suddenly it was as if he had lost his backbone and fell into chaos.

Now that Manager Fang is back, he has not left, and the young men have confidence and fighting spirit again, have regained their organization, and put on the same posture against the enemy as yesterday.

But this time there were too many people from the Tartars, and the division of labor was clear, there were people in front of them to charge, and some people in the back to shoot with bows and arrows, to carry out long-range attacks, and even dozens of firearms and birds to shoot, resulting in hundreds of young men and women who were shot by arrows and killed and wounded before they had close contact, and let out wails and screams, causing the morale of the army to be shaken and panic spread.

Fang Yizhi had no choice but to order: most of the people removed the earthen wall, dispersed to reduce the density to reduce casualties, and waited for the Tartars to get closer, and then swarmed up.

Bloody battle.

What followed was a very brutal bloody battle.

The Tartars who jumped on the earthen wall and gained a firm foothold learned their lesson, and instead of charging brainlessly, they advanced in formation, and there were archers behind them who kept shooting, and long-range attacks were continuous, even if the young people in the village prepared some door panels, wooden boards, iron pots, etc. as shields, but they could always shoot at a tricky angle, and every minute and second could bring casualties to the young people.

The battle entered the rhythm of the Tartars.

Fang Yizhi's only advantage is the megaphone in his hand, which can be adjusted in time so that most people can hear it, but he was almost shot by a marksman several times.

"You can't retreat, you can only go in, the closer you get to the Tartars, the safer they are, and their archers won't accidentally hurt their own people!"

"The door plate army and the hoe army protect the pesticide sprayers, let them spray pesticides, they must be sprinkled on the body of the tartars, and they must be allowed to breathe!"

"Sprinkle a little more lime and interfere with the archers' line of sight, we have to fight back as soon as possible!"

"Don't be afraid of death, it's useless to be afraid of death, you can only fight! Find a way to exchange your life for the life of the Tartar! ”

Under Fang Yizhi's roar, the front of the young men in the village was finally stabilized.

The pesticide sprayers, regardless of the risk of being poisoned and killed by arrows, tried every means to spray countless pesticides into the air, and the wind direction was slightly favorable to them, and a large area of pesticide mist blew on the side of the Tartars.

Of course, the Tartars such as Anti-Batu knew that the pesticide mist wafting from them was not a good thing, but a toxic and harmful substance, so they held their breath and tried not to inhale it into their lungs, but pesticides can also enter the body through the skin.

After a while, many Tartars felt numb in their bodies, their strength weakened, and their vision began to change to a lake of molds, including Amba Etu.

"Withdraw, let's withdraw!"

Rushing to the bad Ambatu ordered.

But it was too late, they were still rushing too fast, and they were already in a state of siege on three sides, and the young men with hoes in their hands, finding that their wielding strength had obviously weakened, pounced one by one, including angry hoes, and launched another armor-piercing attack.

In a moment, hundreds of Tartars were killed.

Azig hurriedly sent an additional Niu Lu to help Anba Etu and nearly 200 others evacuate from the farm, but another 50 people died of pesticide poisoning.

In less than an hour, half of the Niu Lu of Amba Etu was killed.

The losses of the young and strong in the farm were naturally even more heavy, with nearly 500 people killed, hundreds of injured and poisoned, and nearly 1,000 young and strong people lost.

But Azig found that even if the consumption was carried out at a ratio of 5 to 1, and all the young men in the farm were killed, his Zhengbai Banner might cost nearly 1,000 casualties, and it was estimated that he would lose 3 cattle records.

There are a total of 30 cattle in the white flag, do you want to lose one-tenth of the elite troops in order to take this small farm?

"Can't fight, withdraw!"

Azig had to order the withdrawal of the army, this battle was not cost-effective, and if it was won, it would be lost, and the elite of the Eight Banners could not afford to lose so many people.

……

Seeing that the army of the Tartars had retreated.

Farm No. 10 fell into the ecstasy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe and retreated, and the Tartars actually retreated, and they survived again this time.

"The Tartars can't afford to die, they can't bear to die if we die ten, as long as they dare to go out, the ones who retreat must be the Tartars!"

Fang Yizhi also saw the doorway and the law, the combat effectiveness of the Tartars was too strong, and he was about to despair, his little life was probably going to fall this time, who knew that the peak turned around, and the dominant Tartars withdrew inexplicably, now think about it, the analysis of the owner of Xu Zhuang and those elite staff members of Xujiazhuang is right, if you fight a war of attrition, you can only form an effective consumption of Jiannu, and Jiannu will definitely be defeated!

……

September 20th.

More and more Houjin troops poured into the Hebei Plain through Juyong Pass.

Coupled with the vassals of the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, the number soon exceeded 50,000 and 100,000, and it is still increasing.

However, they also began to raid the land of Gyeonggi, collect food and grass supplies, and prepare for the next protracted battle.

It's just in the process.

The high-ranking generals of the Later Jin army, such as Azig, Dolgon, and Duoxue, as well as Derge, Daishan, Sakhalian, Shuotuo, and others, all discovered a pattern one after another.

Ordinary villages and market towns are very easy to fight, sometimes three or five villages and towns can be attacked in a day, and countless seizures can be called.

But as long as you encounter the royal farm, it is all a difficult bone to gnaw, and the head is often broken and bleeding.

Because it is impossible for the eunuchs to surrender, they must be loyal to the emperor.

The people of Zhuangnai, who were born from the homeless and hungry, were often tenacious and tenacious, fought to the death, and often adopted the same way of fighting.

The women, girls and children in the village were also organized, and even if the farm fell, they would resist in various ways, and one of them surrendered.

Imagine the Chinese network

Some of the royal farms that had the conditions to organize military training during the slack period were even more of the hardest of the hard, and they had to pay a heavy price before they could be taken.

Therefore, after paying several tragic casualties, the high-level of the Houjin Army issued an order not to fight the royal farm, and the middle and lower Tartars who had really hit the wall and suffered losses on the head of the royal farm also obeyed this order very obediently, and no matter how rich they coveted the wealth in the royal farm, they would not attack.

As a result, only a dozen of the nearly 200 royal farms around Gyeonggi were breached, and most of them were unharmed with minor losses.

……

September 22nd.

When Huang Taiji personally led his main army of the Two Yellow Banners, a huge corps of nearly 100,000 people, into the Hebei Plain, it meant that most of the strength of the Houjin Army poured into the land of Gyeonggi, less than a hundred miles away from the heart of the Ming Dynasty.

Kyoshi shook.

The surrounding cities are even more like grass and trees, and they are shocked three times in one night.

In the capital, what shocked and angered Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen even more was that he sent Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, to supervise the Beijing camp, count the number of the three major battalions in the Beijing camp, and verify that there were a total of 108,000 names on the roster.

But more than 43,000 are old and weak.

More than 27,000 were occupants and hypocrisy.

There are more than 10,000 people who are the children of various related households and powerful people, who usually show off their arrogance, but now they hear that they are very likely to go to the battlefield, and they are hiding without a trace.

Only 28,000 men were actually available, and they were poorly trained, with dilapidated weapons and a weak will to fight.

And in addition to the Beijing camp, there are still knives in the capital to protect the city, and the imperial court can call it.

There are also Teng Xiang's left and right guards who belong to the Imperial Horse Guard, and Wu Xiang's left and right guards - now they are integrated into a warrior battalion, with 8,000 elites.

plus the three thousand pro-troops of the Jinyi Guard.

and Jin Wuwei and Yulin Wei used to protect the palace, totaling only more than 2,000 people.

All added together.

The available troops that can defend and protect the capital city of a million people are actually only 41,000, not even 50,000.

The combat effectiveness has not been tested much in actual combat, the weapons and equipment are old and backward, and the will to fight is doubtful.

Chongzhen was furious, Chengguo Gong Zhu Chunchen, Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen and others were all arrested and imprisoned, but to no avail, because it was too late to make amends, and the Qinwang army in various places was still on the way, but the more than 200,000 troops of Jiannu were all in the late foot, as long as the horn of attack was sounded, within one day, the iron hooves of the Jiannu cavalry could reach the four gates of the capital, once the attack was launched......

Shudder.

Zhu Youzhen only felt cold and shivering, and felt a suffocating threat.

But at this time, a piece of good news came.

The army of King Qin has arrived!

The first army of tens of thousands of people in the field rushed to the foot of the capital in time.

"Whose army is it? Is it Wu Xiang's Guanning Iron Horse? As if he had caught a hope, Zhu Youzhen excitedly grabbed Wang Chengen and asked.

"Your Majesty, it's the Tianxiong Army led by Lu Xiangsheng!"

Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, Lu Lian made the heart of the loyal monarch can be seen every day, they only received the urgent dispatch order from the military department on the 18th, so they immediately set off, only with three days of rations and materials, day and night non-stop hurry, in just three days, they marched thousands of miles in a hurry, that is, to arrive in the capital before the Jiannu attack, to help your Majesty resist foreign enemies, Your Majesty, march thousands of miles in three days, this Lu Xiangsheng is usable and credible!" ”

Hear this.

Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Xuanlu Xiangsheng entered the city and entered the palace, I want to see this person!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
