Chapter 560: Tempting One Another
Sun Chengzong turned this question mark into an exclamation mark.
At this time, the governor of Jizhen was Wang Yingzhi.
It is said that he was a sycophant Wei Zhongxian, and he was quickly promoted, and became the governor of Jizhen after Wang Yuanya.
It is said that he was promoted by Chongzhen precisely because he was working against Wei Zhongxian.
These two things do not conflict.
Chongzhen will not expand the area of attack, but will reuse some eunuch party elements, so that they can compete with the Donglin Party and the ministers in the middle of the court.
If the people below are not of the same mind, Chongzhen, who is the emperor, will be safe.
The question is, at what cost?
Before Sun Chengzong led the army to Jizhen, Xifengkou was broken by a small number of Houjin troops.
Later, the Jin army came in through this gap and plundered on a large scale.
And left a part of the soldiers and surrounded the Santun camp.
Sun Chengzong, as the governor of Jiliao, was inconvenient to directly interfere in the affairs of Jizhen at first. So the handwritten king should be ordered to lead the army to rescue the Santun camp.
Wang Yingzhi just didn't listen, and refused to send a soldier from Zunhua to rescue the Santun camp.
This reminded Sun Chengzong of a past incident.
Many years ago, Xiong Tingbi was overthrown by Wang Huazhen, which led to the tragic end of the defeat.
Thinking of the fate of Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi after the defeat, Sun Chengzong couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly ordered Zhang Chun to be the supervising army, and urged Song Wei, the chief soldier of the standard battalion, and Ma Shilong, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, to go to Jizhen to rescue with the car battalion he had worked so hard to train.
Sun Chengzong's car camp was improved from the formation that had been handed down from ancient times to the present, imitating the Zhuge Eight Formations and the Stacked Formation, and adding firearms such as the Three-Eyed Gun.
From the outside, it looks boxy and looks like there are no flaws.
At the same time that this army was heading towards Jizhen, Huang Taiji led the army to arrive at the Xifengkou of Jizhen.
Dorgon and Dorgon went to meet him.
Zilharang had already led his army to Xuanfu and Datong as a suspicious soldier.
"Great Khan! Everything here went according to the Great Khan's arrangement. ”
Dorgon said, "Don't bother the Great Khan himself. ”
Huang Taiji waved his hand and said: "The situation has changed, Yang Chengying is determined to besiege our soldiers in Anshan City to death."
No matter how much you make trouble, it doesn't seem to work. Only then did he come in person to make a big deal about Jizhen. ”
"So, the Great Khan came just in time."
Knowing Huang Taiji's intentions, Dolgon hurriedly expressed: "Exploring the Malay report, there is a large group of Ming troops heading towards Jizhen, and it is estimated that they want to recapture the Santun camp. ”
"Oh? Who is the leading manager? ”
Huang Taiji's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.
"Ma Shilong, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and Song Wei, the chief soldier of the regimental training."
Dolgon replied: "The foundation is divided from the Guanning army, and the soldiers and horses under the command of Zhu Mei and Zuo Fu. ”
When he heard that it was a small shrimp and a defeated man, Huang Taiji looked disappointed.
He thought about it for a while, defeating this Ming army meant that the Ming court would no longer have any troops to fight in Jizhen, which would force Yang Chengying to retreat.
Thinking of this, Huang Taiji said: "Let's not fight the enemy on the battlefield that the enemy wants, but take the initiative to attack. ”
He left Dolgon to guard the rear, and with a very small number of troops, he pinned down the Santun camp and the Zunhua Ming army.
The rest of the soldiers and horses went east with him and took the initiative to meet the Ming army.
After marching for a while, Huang Taiji felt that it was inappropriate.
The Ming army is the best at escaping, and when they see that they have so many men and horses, they are likely to retreat.
They retreated, who should I fight?
Therefore, Huang Taiji decided to send a force in front to lure the Ming army into going deeper.
The Mongols are the most suitable, and if they can't win, they run.
But who leads this army?
Huang Taiji thought of him.
"Someone, call Azig."
Huang Taiji ordered while riding his horse and marching.
"Huh."
One of the heralds turned his horse's head and went to the back to ask for Azig.
After a while, Azig arrived on horseback.
"Great Khan."
"Azig, I have an important task for you."
"Great Khan, please command."
"You and Shuo will take five hundred Mongol soldiers and five hundred Bayalas first."
Huang Taiji said: "You only need to hurt the Ming army and attract them to our army." ”
"The Great Khan is trying to lure the enemy deep and annihilate them in one fell swoop."
Azig, who had a negative score in politics and a full score in a fight, instantly understood Huang Taiji's true intentions.
"Exactly, you must remember not to annihilate."
Huang Taiji nodded with satisfaction.
"Hey, my brother understands."
Azig turned his horse's head, mobilized his troops and horses with Shuo Zhen, and accelerated eastward from the large army.
You must know that a large Ming army is tens of thousands, and Azig and Shuo only have one thousand in their hands.
Only Azig dared to take it.
Facts have proved that the Mongolian soldiers and the Ming army are really a pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes.
On the thirteenth day of the first month of the third year of Chongzhen, the Ming army received a report from the front sentry cavalry, saying that a small group of Mongolian cavalry was coming here.
Song Wei immediately judged that this was the sentry cavalry of the Houjin army, and ordered the cavalry to attack. It was planned to besiege the Mongol cavalry with 2,000 cavalry, and to win a victory.
However, the Ming cavalry and the Mongol cavalry were evenly wounded.
found that there was still a Houjin army behind them, and the Ming army retreated quickly.
The Mongol soldiers were also very cunning, knowing that there was a large army of the Ming army in front of them, and they rushed up and might be surrounded, so they pretended to have superb outflanking techniques.
Wrapped, wrapped, wrapped behind Bayala.
"These idiots!"
Azig was furious.
The Bayala he led was a heavily armored cavalryman who couldn't run fast.
The road was blocked by Mongol soldiers.
When Azig arrived at the battlefield, only the corpses and some flags left by the Ming army remained, and the Ming army was gone.
"It's useless to scold, our army has marched from afar, and the horses are already overwhelmed, so it's better to camp on the spot." Shuo Zhi suggested.
"The cavalry of the Ming army is nearby, which means that the enemy's army is not far from here, is it appropriate to camp?"
Azig vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"The Ming army is also people, and they also need to rest."
Shuo Zhen didn't care, "We just rested like this, and they didn't dare to attack rashly." ”
"Makes sense."
Azig was also not a man who feared the Ming army.
So, they camped on the spot, ready to continue the teasing tomorrow.
This confrontation between the Mongol soldiers and the Ming army gave Sun Chengzong a serious miscalculation.
Through the analysis of the content reported by the generals under his command, he came to the conclusion that the Tartars were still dominated by Mongol soldiers, and a small number of Houjin troops supervised the battle.
"This is consistent with the previous judgment, which proves that the Tartars are only sending troops to harass them."
Sun Chengzong sighed and said: "The hateful king Yingzhi didn't listen to me, so he delayed until now. ”
"Inspector Sun wants to destroy this group of Tartars?" Song Wei frowned and asked.
"That's right. The enemy needs to rest, and he must not take our army into account for plundering for so long, and this is a good opportunity for our army to attack. ”
Sun Chengzong said: "General Song and General Ma each led their cavalry to attack the enemy in the early morning and night, and they will definitely be able to break the enemy army. ”
"Yes, Overseer." Song Wei replied very simply.
He was picked up by Sun Chengzong.
Ma Shilong hesitated for a moment, and said, "The last general will do it." ”
That night, Ma Shilong and Song Wei dispatched 6,000 elites, combined with foot and horse, and attacked Azig's camp at night.
