Chapter 361: Coming to Horn Mountain (Fourth Watch)
"But ......"
Wang Chengen was anxious to speak, but Chongzhen interrupted him, "Wang Daban doesn't have to worry, the strict barrier of Shanhaiguan has long been united, and when I go to the banquet three days later, I will also be a bamboo in my chest, save the two princes of the Ming Dynasty, and break Dolgon in that Hongmen banquet."
Wang Chengen couldn't help it, "Since the master must go, he must prepare more and bring more soldiers and horses."
Wang Chengen thought of the field battle, and couldn't help but feel a little palpitating. The Battle of Dalinghe, the Battle of Songjin, and the scenes of the fiasco of these battles seemed to appear in front of his eyes again......
At this time, Yang Wanli came to report, "Your Majesty, King Sanshun is heading northwest with 20,000 ***."
"Oh? These three traitors must have gone to Xifengkou, and I have already prepared them for them."
The Manchu Qing Dynasty went south from here several times to attack the Beijing Division, so Chongzhen immediately thought of this layer.
"Spread my will, let the defenders along the way keep an eye on their movements, set up ambushes outside Xifengkou Pass, switch and lure the enemy, and order Liu Chongxi's battalion to quickly support Xifengkou, and be sure to annihilate these three thieves in one fell swoop!"
"Yes." ……
After Wang Chengen and Yang Wanli received the order, they felt that the emperor was really a last resort, and the 300-mile square line of Shanhaiguan was really used.
The emperor's soldiers are outnumbered, with only 40,000 horses. Stop at Shanhaiguan, the internal defense of thieves, the external drive is insufficient, and the defense line of these hundreds of miles must be taken into account.
At that time, they felt that the emperor should focus on defending Shanhaiguan, and it was not the best policy to divide troops to extend the defense line of Shanhaiguan for more than 300 miles.
Now it seems that they can only be blinded. What is the ambition of the bird? The emperor has a lofty vision, controls the overall situation, no matter how big or small, and strategizes, and they admire the five-body throw.
This will soon spread to Xifengkou, where Ma Xingquan, the chief general of the Ming army, burned incense and bathed to receive the order, kowtowed in the direction of Shanhaiguan, and immediately acted according to the will.
After hearing the order, Liu Chong, the commander-in-chief of the first battalion of Shanhaiguan, did not dare to slack off, gathered 5,000 men and horses, and rushed to the direction of Xifengkou to assist Ma Xingquan in arming the ......
Next, Chongzhen dispatched troops, and there are still six battalions in Shanhaiguan, minus the war attrition, counting the Jinyi Guard, there are still more than 26,000 horses left.
Leaving 6,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Shanhaiguan, Han Yin and General Lu Mingzhang each led a battalion of soldiers and horses to guard the pass.
Pull the soldiers out to fight a decisive battle with ***, and you can't win chess without caring about your family.
In addition to the main customs city of Shanhaiguan, it is necessary to take into account the defense lines such as the Nine Gates, Jiaoshan Pass, the North and South Wing Cities, the East and West Luo Cities, the Weiyuan Fort and Ninghai City on the Huanxi Ridge, and the old dragon head all the way to the seaside.
Therefore, the 6,000 men and horses of these two battalions have a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, and the average of each pass is 800 men and horses, but there is a dangerous pass of the Great Wall to defend, and the main force of the Qing army is in the area of Hongmenyan and Xifengkou, so Chongzhen is completely relieved that these two generals and 6,000 men and horses are guarding the pass.
Yang Wanli was ordered to bring 50 Jinyi guards to be responsible for delivering news from each battalion along the way.
Chongzhen took Gu Shunyi, Ma Bao, Li Meng and Zhou Qing with 20,000 soldiers and horses, as well as more than 100 Jinyi guards, plus Wang Chengen accompanied him.
The three days of preparation were intense and orderly.
The agreed time for the banquet arrived in the blink of an eye, fortunately, it was only 30 miles, not far from Shanhaiguan, and the march of the brigade did not take half a day.
But tomorrow we have to raise troops.
After dinner, Chongzhen lay down on the dragon couch early and enjoyed the service of the two show girls.
Now these two show girls have been trained by Wang Chengen and Chongzhen, and their techniques and fingering skills have become proficient, and what Chongzhen needs most is where they knead and press......
An hour later, at the second watch, Chongzhen sent the two of them away.
The two show girls were suddenly frightened, and knelt down to plead guilty, they thought that they had not waited well today, which made the emperor unhappy.
Chongzhen smiled, "It's none of your business, go down and rest, I still have something to deal with."
"The slave obeys." The two show girls breathed a sigh of relief, and the "slave and maid retired ......" were all blessed, and then left......
Chongzhen sent the two of them out one by one, and also asked Wang Chengen to go down to rest, and he went out of the palace to inspect.
Holding the female wall, Chongzhen enjoys the night view, and the night view of Shanhaiguan is charming.
Although there is no hustle and bustle of the city and flickering neon lights in later generations, the air dead wind lanterns in this military camp dot the night sky, and there is a unique view.
But he was used to seeing this, looking up at the starry sky, and the breeze blowing, dissipating the slight heat held in the palace on his body, which was very pleasant.
For the past few days, he has to look at the night sky alone late every night.
But then, Chongzhen shook his head, the aura of heaven and earth was really seriously damaged, and thousands of horses and thousands of armies were tossing here, not to mention the heaven and earth spirits, and the demons and monsters had also escaped without a trace.
Fortunately, I rushed to Tashan to practice the exercises before the red-clothed cannon was powerful, and the great shift of Qiankun finally started.
However, the gathering of heaven and earth spirits in this area is too slow, and after a few days, it is still very thin.
His gaze went from the old dragon head by the sea, to Ninghai City, to Huanxiling Weiyuan Fort, and then to Nanshuiguan, North and South Wing Cities, East and West Luo City, Tashan in the north, Beishuiguan, Jiaoshan, and Jiumen Reservoir is a Shiguan City.
Chongzhen looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on Jiaoshan.
