[111] The prince lied about the military situation

At this time, on the battlefield of the Chahar Division.

Huang Taiji led the Yellow Banner, the Yellow Banner, the Blue Banner, the Blue Banner and the Red Banner, a total of 60,000 cavalry, to attack Lin Dan Khan.

Lin Dan Khan had 200,000 people under his command, and there were more than 50,000 cavalrymen who could go into battle to kill the enemy, and the rest were old and weak women and children.

Although he is also good at riding and shooting, there is a certain gap between his weapons and equipment and Huang Taiji.

In addition to the cavalry, Huang Taiji was also equipped with sixty artillery pieces.

Lin Dan Khan also had artillery, but there were only ten, and his firepower was far inferior to that of Huang Taiji.

There is not much difference in the combat power of the cavalry on both sides, but the field mode at this time is to fire the cannon first, and then charge with cavalry.

As soon as the two sides fought, they bombarded each other with shells.

Lin Dan Khan naturally fell into disadvantage.

After being suppressed by artillery fire, Lin Dan Khan's cavalry was also suppressed by Huang Taiji's army.

Seeing that he was about to lose, fortunately, Wang Ziteng led 80,000 Beijing battalions to arrive.

The 80,000 Beijing battalion army was equipped with 100 artillery pieces, and its firepower was superior.

However, the Beijing battalion was stationed in Shenjing City all the year round, and had never fought, except for artillery, there were only 20,000 cavalry, and the rest of the 60,000 were infantry, and the combat effectiveness was very poor.

After Jingying joined the battlefield, it only deterred Huang Taiji's attack.

The two sides were on the endless grassland, twenty miles apart, and each set up camp and confronted each other from afar.

The two armies faced each other, and neither dared to take the lead in attacking.

Until Dorgon arrived with 18,000 cavalry.

Dolgon originally had 20,000 cavalry, but after being ambushed by Jia Yuanchun last time, about 2,000 men and horses were killed.

Now there are only 18,000 left.

Huang Taiji was overjoyed, and now he had 78,000 cavalry under his command.

The next day, Huang Taiji ordered Dolgon to be the vanguard, personally led the army in the center, and ordered Duoduo to lead 5,000 troops to guard the camp.

The Eight Banners Iron Cavalry did not attack Wang Ziteng first, but took the lead in rushing to Lin Dan Khan's camp.

Lin Dan Khan hurriedly responded to the battle, and only lasted less than half a pillar of incense, and then collapsed on all fronts and fled backwards.

Wang Ziteng was timid and afraid of death, so he only allocated 10,000 cavalry to attack the flank of the Eight Banners Army, contain the Eight Banners cavalry, and buy time for Lin Dan Khan to retreat.

But the 10,000 cavalry was also quickly defeated by the Eight Banners cavalry.

Just as Lin Dan Khan was about to be defeated and captured, a Zhou army suddenly rushed from behind the hillside in the distance.

The main general is Li Rusong.

Li Rusong led 30,000 cavalry of the Zhou army to attack the flank and rear of the Eight Banners cavalry.

Force the Eight Banners cavalry to turn around and engage it.

When Wang Ziteng saw that the reinforcements were coming, his courage rose sharply, and he ordered the remaining 10,000 cavalry and 60,000 infantry under his command to pour out and surround the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry.

With the advantage of numbers, the Zhou army repelled this attack of the Jin army.

Huang Taiji was forced to temporarily retreat and return to the camp.

The Zhou army gathered the rout, and in this battle, their own side lost more than 6,000 people, while the Jin army only lost more than 2,000 people.

If the fight continues like this, the Zhou army will be defeated.

The Chahar Department is located in the grassland, a flat river, and there is no danger to defend.

This kind of terrain is very suitable for the Eight Banners cavalry to play to their advantage.

Li Rusong advised Lin Dan Khan to withdraw his troops and civilians to the nearby Yanmen Pass.

Lin Dan Khan thought so, so he listened to Li Rusong's suggestion, and took advantage of Huang Taiji's rest, leading his subordinates and the people to retreat towards Yanmen Pass.

Li Rusong and Wang Ziteng led the army to escort them.

Huang Taiji learned the news and sent troops to pursue.

There was a scuffle between the two sides.

The army of the Eight Banners plundered hundreds of cattle and sheep and thousands of women, but did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Lin Dan Khan's men and people were numerous, and they were guarded by the Zhou army, and the Jin army could not kill them all, so they had to withdraw their troops.

After a six-day long journey, Lin Dan Khan's troops and the Zhou army finally withdrew into Yanmen Pass.

Li Rusong completed the task and led the army back to Jimen.

Wang Ziteng felt a little uncomfortable.

He was ordered to support Lin Dan Khan, but he didn't expect to be defeated by the Jin army and fled.

How can this be explained to Emperor Chongrui?

If Emperor Chongrui blames him, he is afraid that not only will his official position be lost, but the entire Wang family will also suffer.

After hesitating for a long time, Wang Ziteng found Lin Dan Khan, and the two conspired for two hours, and Lin Dan Khan agreed to help Wang Ziteng cover up.

Wang Ziteng wrote a good news, falsely claiming that he had rescued Lin Dan Khan and defeated Huang Taiji with him.

This is a lie about the military situation, and if it is discovered, it will be a crime of deception.

But in order to keep his glory and wealth, Wang Ziteng still took risks.

......

On the other side, Emperor Chongrui first received the battle report sent by Jia Yuanchun.

When he learned that Jia Yuanchun was actually in command and had defeated Dorgon's army, he was pleasantly surprised.

Emperor Chongrui originally wanted to rely on Qi Jiguang to take charge, but he didn't expect that Qi Jiguang was seriously ill and could only stay in bed to recuperate, unable to preside over the overall situation.

In addition, Shenwu General Feng Tang was confused, and Shanhaiguan had no boss.

What Emperor Chongrui didn't expect was that Wen Tiren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who served as the main supervisor of the army, did not go into battle in person, but instead sent Jia Yuanchun to take command, and moreover, he also won the battle.

Although Dolgon was not beaten away by Jia Yuanchun's army, but took the initiative to withdraw the army, Jia Yuanchun was a female streamer, and he was able to force the Eight Banners to withdraw, which was actually a victory!

Previously, Jia Chen served as the minister of the Qincha, successfully rectified the officialdom of Yangzhou, eliminated the eight salt merchants who did evil, and also defeated the Japanese who invaded Yangzhou, and made great contributions.

This time, Jia Yuanchun miraculously made military achievements.

It seems that not all of the Jia family are straw bales, at least Jia Chen and Jia Yuanchun are rare talents!

Under the great joy of Emperor Chongrui, he canonized Jia Yuanchun as the secretary of Fengzao Palace, and sent Li Rubai, the second son of the famous general Li Chengliang, to Shanhaiguan to replace Jia Yuanchun as the commander.

Emperor Chongrui ordered Jia Yuanchun, Feng Tang and Qi Jiguang to return to the dynasty.

.,.....

At the same time, Jia Chen helped Chen Zhuo, the leader of the Jieling Mountains, find five tombs.

A total of 5,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, 10 gold pots, 20 silver pots, 5 gold incense burners, 10 silver incense burners, 10 agate bracelets, 10 jade ruyi, and many pearls and jade jewelry.

Although Lin Daiyu was born in a Houmen family and has seen a lot, she has never seen so many valuables.

Chen Zhuo held a banquet and entertained Jia Chen.

During this trip to Luoyang, the Xieling faction gained a lot, which was all due to Jia Chen.

Without Jia Chen's assistance, the Jieling Sect could only find at most one or two ancient tombs in the same time, and possibly none of them, but Jia Chen helped them find five ancient tombs.

Jia Chen only got one percent, and he got so many gold and silver treasures, which shows how rich the harvest of the Xieling wrestlers is.

Chen Zhuo invited Jia Chen to sit in the position of guest of honor, and was the first to toast Jia Chen.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, someone came to deliver a letter to Jia Chen, saying that Jia's mother, who lived in Luoyang, sent someone to send it.

Jia Chen opened it and was taken aback.

It turned out that the letter said that Jia Yuanchun served as the deputy supervisor and went to Shanhaiguan.

Since this letter was sent from Shenjing City more than ten days ago, Jia Mu, Jia Chen and others did not know that Jia Yuanchun had already taken command to repel Dolgon.

When Lin Daiyu learned of this, she was very worried about Jia Yuanchun's safety.
