Chapter 34: Defeat in the First Battle
"Pass the order and let all the scouts expand their cruising range, not only in the Guanningjin defense line, but also in the Mongolian region. Don't let go of any clues"
"Yes."
After the pro-army turned around and retreated, the more Yuan Chonghuan thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he quickly summoned Zhao Shujiao, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, to discuss the matter.
After a while, Zhao Shujiao arrived, Zhao Shujiao is now over the age of six, is a martial artist in the Wanli period, not only honest and brave, kind-hearted, but also both civil and military, whether it is Sun Chengzong supervising Ji Liao, or Yuan Chonghuan supervising Ji Liao, they all appreciate it, and they are extremely trusted.
"Inspector, the last general is urgently summoned to come and dare to ask?"
The two have been fighting side by side in Liaodong for a long time, and the relationship between the two is needless to say, so Zhao Shujiao asked directly.
"General Zhao, I have observed that Jiannu has not made the slightest change in the recent period, this is not a good signal!"
Hearing Yuan Chonghuan say this, Zhao Shujiao also thought about it carefully and said: "Don't talk about the supervisor, in the cold winter weather of previous years, Jiannu couldn't stand it for a long time to come to our side to harass and loot, this year is indeed a lot quieter, and the old slave is afraid that a conspiracy is brewing!" ”
After all, Zhao Shujiao has also led troops for many years, and has been fighting abroad all the year round, so he also knows a lot about the habits of Jiannu.
Yuan Chonghuan was even more convinced of his judgment at this time, so he pointed to the map and preached at Zhao Shujiao: "Don't hide it from General Zhao, I now have a bold idea, do you think the old slave will directly bypass our Guanningjin defense line and go through Mongolia to directly knock on the Jingshi!" ”
Zhao Shujiao was immediately startled when he heard this, looked at the map, and asked uncertainly: "This won't be!" Could it be that the old slave has such a big courage? ”
"I also hope that it's just me who is worried, so I have just ordered the scouts to expand the range of the cruise again, I believe that the results will be in the afternoon, it seems that we need to make some preparations now."
Yuan Chonghuan said with a wry smile.
Zhao Shujiao also knew that the matter was very important, and immediately replied: "Then I will go and prepare now!" When the scout came back with the news, I immediately set off and rushed to Zunhua. ”
"That's going to be hard for General Zhao." Yuan Chonghuan said with his fists clenched.
Under the city of Zunhua
After Amin and Mang Gurtai retreated back to rest in the Yellow Dragon Tent, Huang Taiji looked at Dolgon again and said, "Fourteenth brother, I gave Amin and Mang Gurtai the first credit for capturing Zunhua, you won't blame Brother Starling!" ”
"Dolgon does not dare, everything must be under the unified command of the Great Khan. Only my Eight Banners disciples can win all battles."
Huang Taiji smiled and continued to ask: "Fourteenth brother, since they are going to be the vanguard of Zunhua tomorrow, do you have any suggestions and plans here?" ”
"Great Khan, I think that the siege is one thing, and on the other hand, the most important thing is supplies, so tomorrow I want to lead the army to collect some supplies around the area for the use of the army."
Dolgon's high-sounding words actually mean that he is going to loot tomorrow, and if Zunhua can't be defeated here, at least he won't go back empty-handed, and he will solve the urgent need of this winter.
"Okay, just do as you say, tomorrow you just look at the arrangement, and I'll be here for the two of them." Now that the strategic plan has been formulated, Huang Taiji has full authority to let Dolgon handle it himself.
"Great Khan, Dolgon has one more matter, I hope the Great Khan will agree."
Dolgon hesitated for a moment, but still said to Huang Taiji.
"What's the matter?"
"The Yellow Dragon Tent of the Great Khan is too close to the city, it is better to move the Yellow Dragon Tent back about ten miles overnight, because there may be that kind of powerful artillery in the Ming army in Zunhua City, and I hope that the Great Khan will take the Great Jin Jiangshan as the priority and cherish the Holy Body."
Huang Taiji smiled heartily: "Fourteenth brother, I was going to go to the battlefield tomorrow, but if you say so, I will follow you!" Don't worry, I'll take notice. ”
Returning to the white flag tent, Duoduo said puzzledly: "Fourteenth brother, why did you remind Huang Taiji!" If you want me to say that it is best to come directly to the city of Zunhua tomorrow and raze the Yellow Dragon Tent with a cannonball, so that you can justifiably become the Great Khan. ”
"Duoduo, don't talk nonsense, it's not good for us to die now, and if Huang Taiji dies at this time, it will not only affect the morale of the Eight Banners, but our situation may not be much stronger than now."
Dolgon scolded, in fact, he also wanted Huang Taiji to die, but now the time is not right, but Dolgon's scolding did not convince Duoduo, Duoduo directly said: "Hmph, I know what you think, Brother Fourteen, you are willing to save Huang Taiji for the sake of Sister Yu'er, this doesn't affect it at all!" Huang Taiji is dead, isn't Sister Yu'er still yours? ”
Da Yu'er is Huang Taiji's concubine, is the niece of his wife Zhezhe, the first beauty of the Horqin grassland, and has already been in love with Dolgon for life, just because Huang Taiji listened to the lama's words and said that Da Yu'er will definitely marry a king of a country in the future, so let Zhezhe persuade his brother Manggusi to marry Da Yu'er, which is also the pain of Dolgon's life.
"That's enough, don't mention it again."
Seeing that Dorgon was really angry, Azig dragged Dorgon down with him.
Mother, concubine, sweat, beauty, you took away everything that originally belonged to me, these facts are something you can't change, so even if you treat me well, I have to get back what I lost little by little.
The words were divided into two ends, and at dusk, the scouts sent by Yuan Chonghuan had already rushed back to the report: "Supervise the division, after expanding the range of the cruise, I found out that a large number of Jiannu cavalry were heading towards Mongolia a few days ago. ”
Finally came, Yuan Chonghuan didn't have time to think about it at this time, and immediately said to the pro-army: "Immediately send an order to General Zhao and tell him to set off from Zunhua City in the starry night." ”
The next morning, the east just showed the white of the fish's belly, Amin and Mang Gurtai directly to Zunhua City began a crazy attack, the two seemed to want to these days in the Mongolian steppe to spread all the anger to Zunhua City, catapult to Zunhua City wall for a round of throwing, but unfortunately although the momentum is large, but for the city wall thick Zunhua City almost no damage.
On Zunhua City, Zhu Guoyan, the chief soldier, said to the sergeants with a solemn face: "Brothers, now that the Tartar soldiers are coming to the city, behind us is the important town of Beijing, and Lord Wang has sent people to ask for help, so we must defend Zunhua City, and soon reinforcements will come, long live the Ming Dynasty." ”
In the land of Yan Zhao, there have been many generous and sad people since ancient times, and the morale of the sergeants at this time was quickly mobilized, and they shouted in unison, "Daming is mighty, Daming is mighty." ”
"Next, let the Tartars taste our artillery!" Zhu Guoyan smiled hideously.
At this time, four cannons on Zunhua City, two Francophone cannons have begun a round of salvo, only to see the bowl mouth thick solid cannonball directly at the enemy, where the cannonball went to the blue flag and the blue flag side of the instant people turned on their backs, lucky to be smashed off an arm and leg or something, bad luck this time directly the body was smashed into pieces, even more absolutely after the cannonball landed, it will bounce up and continue to collide.
"Withdraw, withdraw." Amin looked at the chaotic phalanx and had no choice but to retreat. In fact, the lethality of this array of artillery is still relatively limited, and it is just a surprise.
