Chapter 16 The battle began and went out of the city to attack the mountains

The 130,000-strong army was bloated, but fortunately, all the troops and horses had their commanders under their command. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info also consumes half a day, until sunset, when it is ready.

People shouted and neighed, and the army moved, and this action was a blind man, and he could roughly feel it, and he could not hide it, and he couldn't hide it.

Huang Taiji, who was observing the strength of the Ming army on the distant mountain, naturally did not turn a blind eye to the movements of the Songshan army.

It stands to reason that he should be happy.

If the Ming army is based on the city, no matter how good the army under Huang Taiji is, it will have to meet and bleed. His strategic arrangement was nothing more than to drag the Ming army out of the city and fight in the field.

But at this time, seeing the movement of the Songshan Ming army, Huang Taiji was not happy.

Previously, he sent Azig to lead the army to make a detour to attack Tashan, just to cut off the Ming army's grain route and retreat, and then combined with the internal form of the Ming court, with the siege of Jinzhou as bait, forcing the Ming army to go out of the city to fight, so as to complete its work in one battle.

Huang Taiji was determined to be in the Central Plains, and through various means, he knew the situation in the Ming court well. Knowing that the Ming Dynasty can now use the soldiers, this is roughly the only one.

As long as this army is broken, the Ming court will be powerless. The great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains are in the bag.

But he never expected that Azig would be defeated and die!

The ghostly figure that suddenly appeared, he had tried his best to look at it, but he didn't expect that person to be able to break through the 8,000 army of Azig with his own strength.

I didn't expect that the ghost god would suddenly go from Jinzhou to Tashan!

Once Azig was defeated, the plan to encircle Songshan was in vain. In this way, the retreat of the Ming army is still there, and it will be difficult to wipe out the Ming army in one go.

In addition, the ghost and god don't know where they are now, if they are in the Ming army, it will be another variable.

Huang Taiji waved back the Azig rout, walked back and forth a few times irritably, looked certain, and shouted: "Get the soldiers and horses ready, and return to the Jinzhou camp early tomorrow morning!"

But at this moment, a soldier came to report: "Hong Chengchou led the army out of the city and has reached the bottom of the mountain." ”

Huang Taiji frowned, hurriedly got out of the big tent, and came to the mountain to watch with a pair of soldiers. I saw the carriages and horses surging under the mountain, and the people shouted and the horses neighed. When the head is a big shot, there is a clear word on the top.

"It was Hong Chengchou who personally led the soldiers and horses out?"

Huang Taiji observed carefully and saw that the Ming army was very close, just under the mountain. To attack, all you need is a military order.

"Why is this Hong Chengchou so confident? Do you think that my Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry, like the rabble of thieves in the Ming Kingdom, will collapse at the touch of a button?" Huang Taiji was not worried, but he thought about it: "Could it be that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty issued an order to urge again?"

"I came here, and when Hong Chengchou had no choice, I saw an opportunity, and I thought I could hold it to determine the outcome of the war. ”

Huang Taiji laughed, lifted the horsewhip and pointed at the Ming army under the mountain and said with a smile: "Hong Chengchou is unwise, send him to death!"

The surrounding generals all echoed: "The emperor is here, Hong Chengchou is vulnerable." ”

Huang Taiji laughed, but suddenly said: "There are about 50,000 soldiers and horses under this mountain. The Songshan Ming army has more than 100,000 soldiers, where is the rest?"

At this time, a soldier came to report: "After Hong Chengchou, there are two groups of soldiers and horses out of the city, one around the left and the other around the right, each with roughly 40,000 soldiers and horses." ”

Huang Taiji couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "One left and one right?

Then he asked, "Who led these two armies?"

"There is a 'Wu' character written on the banner on the left. On the banner on the right is the word 'tiger'. ”

Huang Taiji knew in his heart: "There must be Wu Sangui and Hu Dawei." ”

He also said: "Jinzhou Zu Dashou is Wu Sangui's uncle, and the Wu family is also the Liaodong General of the Ming Court, and some can do it." As for the tiger Dawei, he is also the chief soldier of a town. ”

Then he ordered: "Quickly investigate the movements of the two armies, and report back as soon as there is a result." ”

There are left and right generals who admonished: "My Qing Dynasty iron cavalry is incomparable, but after all, there are few soldiers." There is a way to be the son of a daughter, and he can't sit down. We will advise the emperor to return to the Jinzhou camp immediately. ”

How did Huang Taiji not know?

Although the iron cavalry under his command is mighty and fierce, it is only 5,000 after all. The Ming army under the mountain is ten times larger, and if it is attacked, it is difficult to predict between victory and defeat.

If the two Ming armies are outflanked and encircled, I am afraid that it will be difficult.

However, Huang Taiji was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty after all, so how could he retreat as soon as he saw the strength of the Ming army?

So he said, "It's okay." Look at the Ming army, the march is chaotic and bloated, although there are many people, what can I do? My cavalry is crisscrossed, I can come when I want, I can leave when I want, and I want to see what the Ming army can do. ”

All the generals and officials are obedient, but they are mighty and mighty, and they are really the son of heaven.

So they all made up their minds, and only looked at the Ming army under the mountain, like grass mustard, and they didn't pay attention to it.

However, Huang Taiji said that he would like to say it, but how could he not be worried in his heart? It's just that even if he wants to retreat, he must retreat with the bearing of an emperor, so that he can be in line with his identity.

While uttering a loud voice, he sent the herald to the rear and went to Zilharan to summon him so that he could answer on time. He still ordered his generals to be ready to evacuate at any time.

...

Hong Chengchou ordered his personal generals to hold his own Daxu, led the army out of the city first, and ordered him to approach Huang Taiji's personal troops at the foot of the mountain, and be ready to fight at any time.

Afterwards, there were Wu Sangui and Hu Dawei, each leading the army and leaving the city as planned.

Hong Chengchou asked people to call Zhao Yu.

A moment later, Zhao Yu came to the side hall.

Hong Chengchou said: "The governor is ready. ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yu said, "Then let's do it!"

Hong Chengchou hurriedly said: "Zhao Zhuangshi is a little restless. The Governor received the information that Huang Taiji had learned from the Azig army that the strong man had broken through the feat of ten thousand armies with one man and one horse. There must be fear. The Governor had sent a large army out of the city and approached the hill where Huangtaiji was located to contain it. However, early tonight, late tomorrow morning, Huang Taiji will definitely withdraw. ”

Zhao Yu couldn't help but be anxious: "In this way, let's do it early!"

Hong Chengchou said: "If Huang Taiji sticks to it, it will not be easy to break him." It's better to wait for Huang Taiji to withdraw, and then attack halfway. At that time, the Tartar cavalry stretched a line, and it was much easier for a strong man to kill him. ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, he could roughly guess Hong Chengchou's plan in his heart, but he didn't think it was angry. As Hong Chengchou said, if the cavalry stretches a line, it will be much easier to cut off the generals and capture the flag.

So he said, "Well, just listen to the overseer's orders." ”

Hong Chengchou was happy in his heart and said with a smile: "At this time, the sun is setting, it is better to eat a full meal, cultivate enough mental strength, and take Huang Taiji at night." ”

Zhao Yu nodded: "That's fine." ”

Although Hong Chengchou is a civil official, he is good at fighting. The grasp of fighter planes has its own uniqueness. While accompanying Zhao Yu to eat and drink, he was estimating the footsteps of Wu Sangui and Hu Dawei.

Secretly waiting for the scout to report.

At the end of the Da Lu Shen period, when he was full of wine and food, he came with his relatives and whispered a few words, Hong Chengchou looked certain, and said in a low voice: "The summons will make the army attack the mountain." ”

Zhao Yu wiped the corners of his mouth, and he was happy to eat this meal. A fat sheep, all the stomachs, is refreshed. His ears are extraordinary, even the ones who whisper freely, but he also hears them clearly.

It is clear that the report is only the army of Hu Dawei and Wu Sangui, and it is half the way to the ground in Jinzhou.

From Songshan to Jinzhou, it is only a few dozen miles. It has been two hours since the two armies were separated at sunset, and it is common sense that they are more than halfway there.

Ruo's elite soldiers, even if they are foot soldiers, as long as they are not hungry and have the strength, it is absolutely not a problem to walk thirty miles in two hours. Moreover, Songshan is only fifty miles away from Jinzhou.

It is also that the Ming army has been rotten for a long time, otherwise it would not be amazing to rush from Songshan to Jinzhou in two hours.

Hong Chengchou gave the order, turned his face and smiled: "The deployment of our army is already proper. The governor has ordered the army to attack the mountain, and Huang Taiji will definitely not fight hard, and will withdraw. Although he is a slave chief, he also has some status, how dare he stay in a place of crisis?"

Then he got up and bowed: "Zhao Zhuangshi, the head of the slave chief is in front of you, and the life of this governor is all on the strong man!"

Zhao Yu slowly stood up: "The superintendent is serious. If you talk about military strategy, I don't know. I'll just take the head of the Huang Taiji. I have promised to listen to the commanding of the overseer, and the overseer will be from the district. ”

Hong Chengchou was determined.

So he waved his sleeves: "Please join Zhao Zhuangshi and this governor to see the desolation of the slave chieftain." ”

"I want it!"

Hong Chengchou asked Zhao Yu to wait for a while, and after a while, he was dressed as a general, wearing a red tasseled helmet, wearing a red robe, and a sword hanging from his waist.

Zhao Yu looked at it, and the secret path was mighty, and he was about to leave.

Hong Chengchou said: "On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes. Why don't strong men wear armor?"

Zhao Yu shook his head: "Not only do you not wear armor, but you also don't ride a horse." ”

Said: "I am covered in copper skin and iron bones, and I am not afraid of knives and guns. My iron cone is too heavy, where can I hold the idle war horse to move? Fortunately, my foot strength is extraordinary, not inferior to the war horse, and the overseer does not have to worry. ”

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but be stunned, and also remembered the big iron cone weighing five hundred and fifty pounds, and was speechless for a while, so he had to nod: "If a strong man has what he needs, he can speak." ”

Zhao Yu nodded.

So he and Hong Chengchou and his own soldiers came all the way to the gate.

Zhao Yuxin walked to the front of the cart, stretched out his hand to buckle the thick taper handle of the bowl, fluttering like a straw, and picked up the iron cone and carried it on his shoulder: "Supervisor, please." ”

Hong Chengchou's eyes still couldn't help but flash a flash of surprise.

The surrounding soldiers secretly shouted.

This iron cone has been placed here for most of the day, since some people do not believe in evil and have come to try, whether it is true or not, not just wrapped in a layer of iron skin. It was so heavy, and three or five people exerted force at the same time to lift it up. The strong man in front of him, if he is really a heavenly soldier, lifting the iron cone is as simple as eating and drinking.

So he went out of the house.

Hong Chengchou and his own soldiers all got on their horses, while Zhao Yu carried an iron cone and walked leisurely, even if the war horse galloped, he never fell behind.

Before he reached the city gate, he heard a cannon outside the city, and there was a sudden shout of killing in the distance.
