Chapter 138: How so?

The guards of Yanmen Pass are by no means more than 800 people.

It can only be more.

Otherwise, where would anyone have the appetite to eat the five thousand elites of Zarbak?

Soon, another herald walked in.

When he reported the news to Hazier.

Hazir looked shocked: "Pro-Zheng? Are you sure it's the Ming Dynasty's eunuch who has personally conquered it?! ”

"Great Khan, it's true at this time."

In an instant, Hazir and the other generals in the account looked flustered.

Could it be that the master of the Ming Dynasty is going to plan another decapitation in Liaodong?

Hazier didn't want to fight Zhou Xian, the fact is that Hazier also expected that Daming would send reinforcements to this side.

But the generals of the unified army are definitely not horses.

According to Hazir's plan, after he captured Datong, he would ask Dorgon to support his troops.

At the same time, Dorgon was actively liaising with other tribes in the back of the steppe, hoping that they would unite with Hazir.

In order to restore the glory of the Mongols at their peak.

In other words, as long as the herdsmen on the grassland responded to Hazier, the Ming Dynasty would inevitably throw a mouse.

The best-case scenario is that Hazier's soldiers can take Yanmen Pass.

In that case, they would rightfully occupy the northwest of the Ming Dynasty.

It's become another regime.

Just when Hazir was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, brainless and wandering around in the tent.

The third herald gave him a surprise.

That is, Wang Mingzhao, the king of Shunyi, made it clear that he would assist him.

And let his Tuoba Hengbu personally lead the 20,000 troops of his headquarters to aid Datong.

In addition, another bigwig under Wang Mingzhao is also willing to send troops.

It's just that the number of troops is unknown at the moment.

The news made Hazir less nervous.

If the 20,000 men of Tuoba Hengbu arrived, plus the 35,000 soldiers that Hazir currently possessed, it would be a military force to be reckoned with.

In addition to this, Hazir also accepted a group of surrendered Ming troops in the military town of Datong.

The grain and grass on the grassland also continued to be delivered to the city.

It seems that everything is moving in the direction of Hazir.

Hazir clapped his palms excitedly.

What's there to panic about?

Isn't this instantly better?

It's like life is rushing to the top!

You must know that at this time, there are still 50,000 Jurchen elites of Dolgon eyeing them.

If then Dorgon also leads his army south.

Then he Hazier will not only be the king of the grassland, but also may pull down the horse master of the Ming Dynasty.

The more Hazir thought about it, the more excited he felt.

And when Hazir got carried away with himself.

The forbidden army under Zhou Xian's command had already begun to violently attack the left and right flanks of Datong Town.

Jin Wuwei 10,000, blitzkrieg Weiyuan.

In the eyes of Qi Zhaohu, this city is no threat.

It took him only two hours.

It is far from the five days he gave Zhou Xian a packing ticket.

Why is it so easy?

For Hazir had already destroyed many of the city's fortifications when he attacked.

The Mongol cavalry after the occupation was busy with the conquest and did not have time to repair.

To be exact, Hazir would never have imagined that the Ming army would launch a military operation to regain lost territory in just a few days.

However, Qi Zhaohu was also angry.

He didn't get the slightest excitement after taking the city.

Because after Hazir broke the city, he launched a bloody massacre.

The 120,000 soldiers and civilians in the city were all old, weak, sick and disabled.

Within this outlying fortress, Hazir left 4,000 cavalry to defend it.

Faced with the angry fight of 10,000 gold guards.

Four thousand were killed and wounded.

The remaining several hundred Mongol cavalry dismounted and surrendered, but Qi Zhaohu pretended not to hear or see.

It's just a 'you know' look to the generals under his command.

And then start killing the prisoners!

Afterwards, Qi Zhaohu seemed to be relieved from his astonishment.

With an innocent face, he asked, "Brothers, what happened just now?" ”

And the soldiers under his command also showed a confused look one by one: "What? General, what do you ask? ”

A fierce man like Qi Zhaohu, he guards the front line of the Daming border all the year round, and all kinds of famous scenes have long been common.

Especially when he fought a bloody battle with the Jiannu people in Liaodong and killed all sides.

I feel that the Jiannu cavalry is just a person who sells his head.

Now he encountered the Mongol cavalry, which was weaker than the Jiannu cavalry.

The latter instantly became Qi Zhaohu's dividend!

After recovering the city, Jin Wuwei's army came to report: "Tell the general that all the stubborn people in the city have been cleared. ”

"Really?" Qi Zhaohu looked at the other party with a solemn gaze and asked, "Are you sure it's all cleaned?" Be sure to dig three feet into the ground to find it, and don't miss a place where you can hide people. ”

"Yes!"

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Jin Wuwei gathered the wounded but not dead enemy troops and quickly replenished the sword.

After the incident, Qi Zhaohu counted the casualties of the soldiers and horses in his headquarters.

In this battle, Jin Wuwei lost 300 men.

More than 600 people were injured.

Qi Zhaohu ordered the troops to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Qi Zhaohu personally led the army to regain the second fortress on the left flank.

After hastily reorganizing, he took advantage of the victory to attack the third fortress.

At this time, the shortcomings of Hazier's insufficient forces were exposed.

For Hazir had only 40,000 men when he went out on the expedition.

When he laid down a fort, he needed to divide his troops to defend it.

Hit another one, and that's still the case.

Therefore, there were Mongolian cavalry everywhere in the 52 forts of Datong.

But there weren't many defenders anywhere.

If they encountered the attack of the Ming army during the reign of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, they might be able to win more with less and actively defend.

But they were in front of the well-trained Kim Wuwei.

That's for free!

Just when Qi Zhaohu successively regained the five forts on the left flank, Xue Gang's army also settled in the first fortress on the right flank.

But Xue Gang was not in a hurry at all, but felt that the victory was in his hands.

Because the Mongol cavalry on the right flank adopted the strategy of concentrating the forces of the seven forts and stationing them in one fort for key defense.

Therefore, Xue Gang took this castle, which meant that the other six forts could no longer struggle.

The next step is to march towards the Six Forts, sweeping the points one by one.

At the same time, on the vast grasslands north of Datong.

The Azerbaik tribe, one of the seven major tribes of Mongolia during the time of Genghis Khan, was receiving an emissary.

It was the messenger sent by Dorgon to provide 'help'.

"Azerbaik Khan, we Jurchens greatly admire your prestige."

"As the heir of the king of the grassland, we Jurchens are willing to help you control the grassland."

Listening to this kind of unnutritious words, Azerbaik said coldly: "Wang Mingzhao has also heard such words, right?" ”

The messenger looked stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "How is this possible? ”

"Wang Mingzhao is a dou who can't be helped, how much he is compared to you."
