Chapter 133: Don't be in a hurry, play slowly

Regarding the intelligence that the Ming army deployed 300,000 troops on the front line of the Great Wall in Beizhili, Jierharang obviously did not believe it.

Moreover, those captured Ming army spies also bluntly said that they were told when they were sent out, and once they fell into the hands of the enemy, they said so.

However, although he did not believe this figure, Zilharang believed that the Ming army must have been arranged on the front line of the Great Wall.

Because the Ming army and Lin Dan Khan obviously came prepared, it is certain that they were carefully prepared.

It's just not known how many troops there are and at which passes.

This is not to say that the Jurchen spies are inferior to the Ming army and the Jinyi Guard, but there is the Great Wall blocking them, and without the cooperation of the inner ghosts, they will not have results in a short period of time if they want to reconnoitre.

And the arrangement on the Mongolian steppe, as long as it is not too careless, it is difficult for both sides to hide from each other's eyes and ears, because each side knows which direction the other will come from.

"Respond to all changes with the same, and deal with Man Gui and Zu Dashou first." Zilharang quickly made a decision, only by breaking the current situation could the layout of the Ming army be led out step by step.

As for Lin Dan Khan's Chahar Division, their movements are not difficult to capture, and the strength of the troops is easy to guess, so the most important thing is still on the Ming army.

Immediately, Zilharang ordered Beledeg to lead 3,000 Jurchen elites and 6,000 Mongol cavalry to deal with Zu Dashou with the two brothers Azig and Dolgon.

And he himself led the main force to attack the Mingmeng coalition army in Mangui.

After learning of the movement of the Jianyu army, Man Gui set up camp fifty miles away from him and headed southwest.

When Zu Dashou learned that an enemy army of tens of thousands was coming towards him, he also began to turn around and head south forty or fifty miles away, heading towards the Great Wall in the Yanqing Prefecture section.

The intention of the Ming army was obvious, that is, to lure Jianyu to the edge of the Great Wall, and then wait for the opportunity to move.

Zilharang saw it, and the Derge class was also very clear, but he still followed all the way, preparing to use himself as bait to lure the Ming army out of the Great Wall pass.

However, he hesitated to lead the army to the southern section of the Tanghe River, because he felt that the terrain in this area did not seem to be very favorable to him.

The section of the Great Wall in Yanqing Prefecture is just recessed, forming an inverted "several" shape, if you go deeper, in case you kill a large number of Ming troops from both sides, you may have to fall into several sides of the encirclement.

"There may be fraud in this, but if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger? My Jurchen elite, even in the face of a tenfold Ming army, can calmly advance and retreat. ”

"I am willing to be the vanguard, defeated, and then lure the Ming army in the Great Wall to fight." Azig, who had a rough temperament, was the first to speak.

Obviously, Azig didn't take Zu Dashou seriously at all, because he was very eye-catching in the Battle of Ningjin last year.

At that time, Man Gui led his army out of the city to line up, and most of the others thought that they were too close to the city wall to attack, and Azig also suggested this, and the result was approved, and Man Gui was defeated in a battle.

Now that it is Zu Dashou, he has no reason to be afraid.

Derge does not deny Azig's bravery, but the current situation is different, last year outside Jinzhou City, there were tens of thousands of troops in the rear, even if there was any emergency, it could be rescued.

But now there are less than 10,000 people, and most of them are Mongolian soldiers, and there is really an unpredictable situation, even if they can be rescued, I am afraid they will have to pay a certain loss.

More importantly, he knew that his elder brother Mang Gurtai had always been very dissatisfied with Huang Taiji's succession to the new Khan, and Huang Taiji was also very wary of his two brothers.

If he is caught by the mistake of defeat, it is easy to be targeted, so he is not sure, and he does not want to take this risk.

Because he was very clear about his combat goal, and seeing that Jianyu was stagnant, Zu Dashou immediately sent his adopted son Zu Kefa to lead three thousand horsemen to tease and lure, which made the Derge class believe that there was an ambush in the pass, and he did not dare to enter lightly.

However, if you retreat like this, you will inevitably be caught by people and said that you are cowardly, and you will be scared back without even seeing the shadow of the large Ming army.

Therefore, he sent Dolgon with 800 Jurchen soldiers and 2,000 Mongol soldiers to the trial.

Because he still doesn't worry about Azig, a reckless man, he is afraid that he will not be able to control his temperament and go directly to the past, and once he falls into the trap, he will be in trouble.

And Dorgon, although he had just turned eighteen, was much calmer and more cerebral than his Azig, which was recognized by many.

Last year, when he accompanied the Great Khan to conquer the headquarters of the Mongolian left-wing Chahar, he was also given the title of "Morgen Daiqing" for his outstanding performance, which means "intelligent commander".

Dorgon, who had been ordered, did not take a big position, and drew a small force to attack Zukoffa.

Zu Kefa is the adopted son of Zu Dashou and is deeply valued by Zu Dashou, so most of the family members raised by the Zu family are under his command.

The family is a private army, and it is an important guarantee for many senior generals to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army under their command, so they are very cherished.

Anyway, Banzai clearly ordered not to seek to kill Jianguo, but to exhaust his division as much as possible, and strike at the left wing of the Mongols to weaken Jianlu's prestige among the surrendered Mongol tribes.

It was even suggested that it would be best to maintain a five-fold superiority in forces against Jianyu before engaging head-on.

On the opposite side, there are 3,000 people in Jianyu Zhenyi alone, and their own side must have at least 15,000 troops to fight hard, not counting the six or seven thousand Mongolian cavalry, and now they obviously do not have the conditions to fight with all their strength.

Zukefa naturally knew how to preserve his strength, and when Dolgon sent a hundred men to attack and disturb, he sent three hundred men, taking advantage of it if it was cheap, and retreating if it was not cheap.

The two sides went back and forth and fought happily, but neither had full contact, so the casualties were very small.

At the same time, Zilharang had been chasing Mangui's troops to a stop thirty miles northeast of Baozili (Zhangjiakou Fort), because Mangui had already arrived outside the pass and could hide in the Great Wall at any time.

If it was a field battle, Jierharang would naturally not take Man Gui in his eyes, even if Man Gui was a fierce general in the Liao army.

But if it was to attack the section of the Great Wall defended by Mangui, he would not dare to try it easily, not to mention that he didn't know how many Ming troops were hidden behind it.

"Heshuo Belle, since the situation of the Ming army is unknown, why don't we continue to go west to attack the Chahar Department and attract the Ming army to come to the rescue."

"If the Ming army does not save them, the alliance between them will inevitably break. If we save it, we will attack the Ming army first. Hauge suggested.

Zilharang said with a smile: "What Haugbel said is extremely true, but there are still hundreds of miles to the Mongolian right wing, and I am afraid that the Ming people have other plans." ”

"A lot of things are unclear now, so let's take some time to investigate more for the time being."

After all, the Chahar Department attacking Lin Dan Khan was not the main target this time, and Zilharang did not want to directly change the main opponent before he had fought with the Ming army.

And the reason why Huang Taiji wanted to take the Ming army as the key target was because he wanted to tell everyone that the entire Monan Mongolia was in the pocket of the Dajin Kingdom, and the Ming army must not touch it.

Therefore, the Ming army suddenly ran from inside the Great Wall to outside the Great Wall, and he had already moved his cheese, and he had to pay the price.
