Miyun County is located at the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain, is the traffic channel from the north to Liaodong and the grassland, the strategic position is very important, since ancient times, it is a place where soldiers must fight, and it is called "the key to the Beijing Division".

In November of the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Miyun District of the Imperial Court Province entered Danzhou, and in December, Miyun District was replaced, and Danzhou Province entered Miyun, which belonged to Beiping Prefecture. In the first year of Yongle, it was changed to Shuntianfu. In the first year of Zhengde, it was changed to Changping Prefecture and rotated. Zhengde was restored to Changping Prefecture in nine years.

At this point, the civil affairs of Miyun County belong to Changping Prefecture, which is a subordinate county seat of Changping Prefecture, and militarily and politically, it belongs to Miyun Town. It's just that at this time, the defense of Miyun Town was empty, and the chief military officer Tang Tong took away almost all the soldiers and horses in the town, and there were only hundreds of old and weak soldiers left in the city at this time.

After Haoge and Abatai took Modaoyu, in accordance with the will of Huang Taiji, the two of them together with the Mongolian Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Wulai, led the Manchurian and Mongolian Zhenglan Banner iron cavalry to rush to Miyun City, opening the way for the main force of the Qing army.

The armies of the two banners were all iron cavalry armies, and it took less than a day for 20,000 thousands of iron cavalry to rush to the foot of Miyun City, and then launched an attack.

Gushan Ezhen Wu Lai took the lead, directly led his troops to fire arrows around the city, and shot at the defenders at the head of the city.

Seeing this, the hundreds of defenders were disheartened, and they fled in a swarm. Seeing this, Wu Lai laughed insolently, and led his troops to climb the city wall with ropes, and the Mongolian Zhenglan Banner of more than 11,000 people was divided into two teams, one team continued to ride around the city, and the other team climbed into the city from all sides, and after a while, the gates were opened.

Seeing this, Haoge laughed and said to Abatai: "Rao Yu Belle, you see, the soldiers and horses in the land of Jinggi in the Ming Kingdom, except for Liu Yanbu, are all local chickens and dogs!" ”

Aba

Tai smiled perfunctorily, and then said, "Prince Su should send someone to report to Your Majesty first, and then let's continue to march towards Changping Prefecture." ”

Hauge said, "It's fine. However, at this rate, it won't take two or three days for my Qing warriors to take Changping Prefecture and open the northern barrier of the Ming Kingdom's Beijing Division. ”

"Not necessarily!"

Abatai didn't know why, he was a little worried in his heart, and said: "Liu Yan is not an ordinary person, he still expects the enemy to be lenient, everything must be based on the premise that Liu Yan has already led the army to come, and there should be no delay." When did I, the Qing warriors, take Beijing City and capture Chongzhen, Liu Yanbu would no longer be a threat! ”

Haoge nodded, and then sent someone to inform Wu Lai, ordering him to leave a Niu Lu's troops to garrison Miyun and wait for the rear soldiers and horses, and then the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner and the Mongolian Zhenglan Banner soldiers and horses continued to march westward.

Only half a day later, Huang Taiji, Dolgon and other banners arrived in Miyun Town one after another, the army rested inside and outside the city for more than an hour, and then Huang Taiji ordered the Inner and Outer Karaqin Division, Chahar Division, and the Han Army Red Flag Department to stay behind, and the rest of the banners continued to march forcibly to Changping Prefecture.

Before Huang Taiji set off from Miyun, he called Habayan, the prince of the Inner Karaqin Division, Zheyan, the prince of the Outer Karaqin Division, Chu Sechanbul, the prince of the Chahar Division, and Liu Zhiyuan, the Han army's Red Flag Gushan Ezhen, to the front and said: "You Aiqing led the troops to take a slow step, although our army temporarily got rid of Liu Yan's pursuit, but we should not take it lightly, and the necessary blocking soldiers and horses still have to be deployed. ”

"If Liu

After three days, you can lead your troops to withdraw, or return to the north outside the pass, or go to the direction of Beijing City to join the main army, I will not blame, but will reward you. ”

The four of them were all up and down in their hearts at this time, as long as they were not fools, they could understand what Huang Taiji meant, he was the abandoned son of the army, and when necessary, he was sacrificed in order to delay Liu Yanbu's westward advance.

However, even if the four of them were unwilling, they didn't dare to say anything at this time, and they all received the order.

"I hope Liu Yan won't chase after him!"

Habayan, the prince of the Inner Karaqin Tribe, Zheyan, the prince of the Outer Karaqin Tribe, Chu Sechanbul, and Liu Zhiyuan, the prince of the Chahar Tribe, were secretly praying in their hearts at this time.

On the same day, Huang Taiji led the main forces of each banner to continue the westward march, leaving Liu Zhiyuan and a few people temporarily stationed in Miyun City. According to Huang Taiji's will, the four of them needed to stay here for three days before leading the army to catch up with the main force.

"Hehe, several princes, look, the matter behind this palace ......"

Liu Zhiyuan is only the solid mountain of the Han Army Banner, and he is not at the same level as the three Mongolian princes in front of him, so how the army is rear, whether it is camped outside the city or stuck in the city, the three Mongolian princes need to speak.

At this time, the three of them discussed, and the prince of the Chahar tribe, Chuse Chanbul, said: "My Mongolian warriors are all descendants of Genghis Khan and subjects of Immortality, how can they be trapped in the city? Today, the king and the two princes led their troops out of the city and camped in the west of Miyun. General Liu led the Han army to garrison the city, and if the Ming army came to attack, he would defend the city to the death, and the Mongolian iron cavalry flanked

Defeat the enemy! ”

Liu Zhiyuan couldn't ask for it, so he immediately agreed with a smile, and sent people to capture thousands of people from the city to serve the Mongols as hard labor, doing some things like camping and carrying supplies.

Soon night fell, Liu Zhiyuan occupied the county government in the city, and his subordinates also deliberately grabbed more than a dozen good-looking women from the city for Liu Zhiyuan and the left and right Mele Zhangjing and a few Jialazhangjing to have sexual pleasure.

In the middle of the night, on the main hall of the county government, Liu Zhiyuan held a banquet, rewarded his subordinates, and brought the dozen or so women together.

At this time, Liu Zhiyuan was hugging a woman with a lewd smile on his face, and the clothes were obviously women from the upper class in the city, and at this time, the clothes had been torn off by Liu Zhiyuan, revealing the white flowers inside, and several traitor generals around him laughed.

"Haha! What's the name of a beauty? ”

"Little girl Zhao Mei'er."

At this time, the woman held back her tears, for fear that she would anger these traitors by crying, and the same was true of the dozen or so women around, and only Liu Zhiyuan and others were left in the room.

Then there were two Jia Lazhangjing who were impatient, and they actually put down the woman in their arms at the banquet and began to do that reluctantly thing, and suddenly the screams of all the women sounded in the hall, but those traitor generals laughed even more presumptuously.

Suddenly, a Niu Lu Zhangjing, who was in charge of tonight's night duty, rushed into the hall in horror, looked at the group of Shangguan who were having lewd fun, and said loudly: "Oh no, the Ming army is here!" ”

The laughter in the hall suddenly stopped, Liu Zhiyuan and all his subordinates looked at the Niu Lu Zhangjing in a daze, and more than a dozen women were also stunned, as if they couldn't believe it.

"The Ming army has entered the city? Where is the Ming army! ”

"Master Qiqi, the Ming army did not enter the city, but it defeated the Mongolian camp in the west of the city."

That Niu Lu Zhangjing's face was full of fear, and he said: "Although the sky is too dark to see the banner of the Qingming army, it can be seen that the more than 20,000 Mongolian soldiers outside the city were kicked in the blink of an eye, and then directly defeated, and the night was mixed with the roar of firearms. ”

Liu Zhiyuan's face is also very ugly, there are soldiers and horses with such combat power in the Ming Kingdom today, and there is only Liu Yanbu's family!

"It's coming so fast!"

At this time, Zuo Meile Zhangjing Liu Yingxiang asked: "Master, should we immediately go out of the city to support and take the three princes into the city?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan said angrily: "Idiot, you! More than 20,000 Mongolian iron cavalry were defeated in an instant, God knows how many Shandong soldiers came, and now it is pitch black outside the city, go out to respond? You want to die! ”

"Yes, yes."

Then Liu Zhiyuan shouted to everyone: "Everyone will go to the city to defend, transfer the artillery and musketeers in the camp to the head of the city to set up defenses, and block the city gates everywhere with sandbags for me, as long as we stay here for three days, we can break through and retreat north, and then Your Majesty will add officials to us!" ”

"Huh!"

When Liu Zhiyuan came to the west city wall with a team of personal guards, there was already chaos outside the city. The Mongolian camp that was originally two or three miles away from the city was already on fire at this time, with the help of the firelight, Liu Zhiyuan saw that the Ming army's iron cavalry was well-armored, and was chasing and killing the fleeing Mongolian soldiers on horseback.

"It's Liu Yanbu!"

suddenly

, Liu Zhiyuan saw a battle flag, which was the battle flag of the cavalry battalion of the new army, and at this time, a deep sense of fear hit his heart, making Liu Zhiyuan sweat and shout loudly: "Open the cannon!" ”

"Master, there are still a lot of Mongolian soldiers and horses outside the city, and if you fire the cannon now, you will be injured by mistake!"

"Bastard! If you don't fire artillery now, will you wait for the Ming army to attack the city? Fire! ”

"Huh!"

Rumble!

Soon, the 50 artillery pieces of the Han army with red flags, as well as more than 30 artillery pieces deployed at the head of Miyun City, opened fire one after another, and the shells continued to fall in the night outside the city.

After dawn, Liu Zhiyuan looked at the Mongolian camp in the west of Miyun City, at this time, the inner and outer Karaqin and Chahar camps had been turned into ruins, and more than 20,000 Mongolian soldiers did not know where to go.

At this time, outside the city, at least tens of thousands of soldiers of the cavalry battalion of the New Army had already formed a formation, blocked the gates of Miyun City, and rested outside the artillery range at the head of the city.

"Fortunately, only the cavalry of Liu Yan's department came, and they didn't have artillery and siege equipment, so they couldn't enter."

Although Liu Zhiyuan was still scared in his heart, he was also a little relieved, and said secretly: "As long as Your Majesty takes Beijing City, Liu Yan will definitely be panicked, or surrender to the Qing Dynasty, or lead the army back to Shandong, and then I will be fine!" ”

Just when Liu Zhiyuan was comforting me, I suddenly saw a subordinate running in horror: "Master, let's take a look at Dongcheng quickly, it's Liu Yan, Liu Yan led an army of more than 100,000 to kill!" ”

Liu Zhiyuan almost fainted when he heard this, most of Liu Yan's troops were infantry, and they came so fast, they were flying

Did you come here?

"Defend it! Send a fast horse to report to Your Majesty immediately! ”

A moment later, Liu Zhiyuan recruited more than a dozen dead soldiers with a heavy reward of 1,000 taels of silver per person, and sent them to ride their horses to the west to report the news to Huang Taiji.

At the same time, Xu Ming rode his horse to the Chinese army, and when he saw Liu Yan, he laughed and threw his three bloody heads on the ground, and said: "Governor, these three are Habayan, the prince of the Inner Karaqin Tribe, Zheyan, the prince of the Outer Karaqin Tribe, and Chu Sechanbul, the prince of the Chahar Tribe. ”

"I can't imagine that these Mongolian Tartars are so arrogant, they actually drink wine and roast sheep in the camp, they are simply looking for death!"

The more Xu Ming spoke, the more excited he became, and at this time he was already talking with a comparison: "The subordinates led the troops to rush on three sides, and the more than 20,000 Mongolian Tartars were directly defeated, and when the three princes were killed, two of them were still bare-assed, and one was already drunk and talking nonsense!" ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Liu Yan said with a smile: "It seems that Huang Taiji has forcibly marched all the way, and all the banners and tartars are miserable, and they have to enjoy it at every opportunity." ”

"Governor, the banner in the city is the Qing army and the Han army with red flags, and its troops have a lot of firearms, and they also fired artillery last night, are they concentrating their forces to encircle and annihilate their troops?"

Liu Yan thought for a moment and asked, "How many prisoners were captured last night?" ”

"There were more than 8,000 people, and more than 6,000 were beheaded."

Liu Yan said: "Most of the soldiers of each battalion are infantry, although there are a large number of chariots and horses in the army, and the soldiers can take turns to travel by car, but all the way down, the soldiers of each battalion are already exhausted. ”

"So

Next, General Xu Shen had to work hard and continue to lead the cavalry battalion soldiers to pursue the Qing army, once he caught up with the main force of the Qing army, he would mainly have to fight and delay the speed of the enemy. The rest of the battalions stayed behind to besiege Miyun City and attacked in turn, so that the soldiers of each battalion could alternately recover their strength. ”

"Yes!"
