Chapter 548 Breakthrough(1/2)

As the 50,000-strong Jiannu army was getting closer and closer to the Great Wall, after one day, the Ming army stayed outside the pass at night without much room for movement.

In order to avoid being destroyed by the Jian slaves making dumplings outside the Great Wall, Li Fang left a few hidden sentries and led the others back to the pass.

Despite this, Zhu Cihong still had a good grasp of the situation of the slaves. Compared with the Ming army's intelligence on the slaves, Yue Tuo, the master of the slaves who lost the information, was like a headless fly.

But after all, he had been on the battlefield for a long time and had very rich combat experience. Seeing that Qiangzi Ridge was quiet, he immediately gave an order and the army immediately headed for Qingshan Pass.

Yue Tuo's order confused both Bolo and Saharian. Didn't they agree to attack Qiangziling and pretend to attack Qingshankou? Why did they suddenly change their minds?

Bolo and Saharian looked at each other and hurriedly urged their horses to catch up with Yue Tuo:

"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly change the direction of attack?"

Yue Tuo smiled coldly:

"We don't know much about the situation in the pass. We use the advantage of the cavalry to test out the Ming army's deployment first. By the way, the Ming army stays up all night to understand the tactical intentions of our Eight Banners Army."

Just as Yue Tuo expected, Li Fang's secret sentry outside the pass saw the Jiannu army suddenly change its attack direction. They were really confused and immediately sent flying pigeons to report to Li Fang.

Zhu Cihong's series of military deployments were carried out quietly, and only a few people in the DPRK and China knew about it.

Today, he handed over the affairs of the DPRK and China to Li Banghua, the chief minister of the cabinet, and quietly entered Miyun under the protection of the Longhu Camp of the Shenwu Army.

Miyun was also the main battlefield for his encirclement and annihilation of Jiannu. Defeating Jiannu was not Zhu Cixang's goal.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, Zhu Cixiang wants to make the Jiannu dare not enter the pass to plunder again. He wants to turn the pass into a nightmare for the Jiannu and the Mongols.

Zhu Cihong always kept a low profile during his expeditions. He never messed with the emperor's ceremonial guard. It was not only troublesome but also very conspicuous. Zhu Cihong found it not fun at all.

You Shilu, the commander-in-chief of Miyun, did not know that Emperor Shenwu had arrived at first. After receiving the notification, he thought that the emperor had sent the Longhu Camp of the Shenwu Army to help.

He hurriedly led the Miyun soldiers out to meet Zhou Yuji, the commander of the Shenwu Army. Unexpectedly, he saw that the Shenwu Emperor was actually there. He hurried forward to prepare to pay his respects, but saw Yue Yang walking quickly to him and whispering:

"General You, don't make any noise!"

You Shilu immediately understood that the emperor came secretly, and hurriedly raised his hand to salute Emperor Shenwu and Zhou Yuji:

"Thank you so much, General, for coming to help us with your troops. Please come in quickly!"

Zhou Yuji sent an order to the Shenwu Army to garrison the Miyun Military Camp, and then accompanied Emperor Shenwu with Man Yi and Zhang Huangyan into the General Army Yamen.

Entering the general yamen, Zhu Cihong had just sat down on the main seat, and Miyun general general You Shilu immediately stepped forward and bowed down:

"See Your Majesty!"

Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly:

"The general is exempt from the salute. From now on, all the troops can salute. Everyone, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

You Shilu, Zhou Yuji and others hurriedly thanked them and took their seats.

After everyone sat down, Zhu Cihong asked:

"Who is the current commander of the Qiangziling garrison?"

You Shilu hurriedly handed over his hands and replied:

"Your Majesty, the chief general of the Qiangziling garrison is Wu Guojun, and the eunuch overseeing the army is Deng Xizhao. There are more than a thousand garrison troops. I am preparing to send troops to support."

Historically, when the slaves broke through the border wall and entered, the eunuch Deng Xizhao was holding a birthday party, and the commander-in-chief Wu Guojun was also drinking and having fun at Deng Xizhao's house.

When they learned that Jiannu had breached the border wall and entered the border, the old eunuch and the commander-in-chief Wu Guojun were so frightened that they hurried away with their valuables.

After hearing the news, Wu Aheng, the governor of Jiliao, immediately led his troops to stop the attack. The two sides fought for a day, and finally Wu Aheng died in the battle and was killed by having his kneecaps dug out and his tongue cut out.

However, these two men falsely accused Wu Aheng of being drunk and unable to bear the consequences of being killed. As a result, Wu Aheng died in battle and suffered unjust injustice. Fortunately, his concubine traveled hundreds of miles to search for her husband, and Wu Aheng was able to clear the injustice.

Now that Wu Aheng is under Sun Chuanting's tent in Jizhou, Zhu Cihong will not let him die alone again. Wu Guojun and the eunuch Deng Xizhao are still at Qiangziling.

When he heard that You Shilu wanted to send troops to support Qiangziling, Zhu Cixiang waved his hand:

"No need, I want to see how the Jiannu broke through the border wall and entered the border and how they performed. If we send troops hastily, it will ruin my plan."

"Your Majesty, Li Fang urgently reports that the slaves have abandoned Qianziling and all fifty thousand horses are heading towards Qingshan Pass. It seems that they are going to break through Qingshan Pass and enter the pass."

Yue Yang's words startled Miyun Commander-in-Chief You Shilu, and he hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, I request you to lead your troops to support Qingshan Pass immediately!"

Zhu Cixiang smiled faintly:

"No, there are two battalions of tiger troops at Qingshan Pass. It is basically impossible for the 50,000 Jiannu slaves to break through Qiangziling and enter the pass. I have concluded that this is a plan of Yue Tuo's suspicious soldiers. If my prediction is good, they will definitely turn around and kill them at night.

To Qiangziling."

You Shilu was shocked and hurriedly raised his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, if we don't send reinforcements, the Jiannu will break through Qiangziling. Once fifty thousand Jiannu are allowed to enter the pass through Qiangziling, Miyun will be the first to bear the brunt. I am worried that the Jiannu will disturb Your Majesty!"

Zhu Cihong had already set up an ambush in the capital, and he was surrounded by two battalions of Shenwu troops from Zhou, Yu, Ji, Long and Hu, so he was scared.

But as the commander-in-chief of Miyun, You Shilu is afraid that if Emperor Shenwu is in Miyun City, once 50,000 slaves attack Miyun, his sin will be huge.

Zhu Cihong knew what You Shilu was worried about, so he smiled lightly and said:

"It's getting late and I'm hungry. General You, please host a banquet!"

Jiannu's 50,000-strong army was approaching the Great Wall, and You Shilu was so nervous that he forgot all about hosting a banquet with the emperor.

After hearing this, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then went to order a banquet to be held in honor of Emperor Shenwu.

Jiannu was about to enter the customs, but the emperor still looked calm and not at all nervous.

You Shilu admired the young emperor, but at the same time, his heart was always high...

……:

The night was getting darker, and it was supposed to be time to sleep, but Jiannu suddenly launched an attack on Qingshan Pass.

You Shilu received the battle report and hurried to report to Emperor Shenwu. As soon as he approached the residence where Emperor Shenwu stayed, he was immediately stopped by his guards.

"General, please come back. Your Majesty said: If you have anything to do, we will discuss it tomorrow!"

You Shilu was stupid at that time. The slaves were attacking Qingshan Pass, but the emperor could still sleep peacefully.

By the time tomorrow dawns, Jiannu's 50,000-strong army has already broken through the barrier and entered. You Shilu hurriedly raised his hands and said:

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Jian Nu is attacking Qingshan Pass, please inform His Majesty quickly!"

The guard said to him:

"General, please don't embarrass your subordinates!"

You Shilu felt anxious, but he did not dare to force his way in. He could only beg and beg, but no matter what he said, the guards would not let him in and would not notify him!

"What's the matter? It's a sin to disturb the Holy One!"

At this time, Emperor Shenwu's personal bodyguards and fellow imperial guardsman Yue Yang heard the sound and came out.

Seeing Yue Yang coming out, You Shilu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed:

"Master Yue, the general has no choice but to disturb your majesty's rest. Now Jiannu is storming Qingshan Pass. Please inform your majesty!"

I thought that Yue Yang would be shocked when he heard the information, but Yue Yang's reaction was far beyond You Shilu's expectations.

He was not surprised at all, but smiled slightly and said:

"General, don't worry. Your Majesty has all the enemy situation under control. You just need to strengthen the defense of Miyun City. Go back!"

"This... I will finally retire..."

Yue Yang dismissed the impatient Miyun Commander-in-Chief You Shilu with an understatement, but still had no intention of reporting.

Emperor Shenwu and the people around him were so disdainful of such a serious enemy situation.

Although You Shilu was unwilling to give in, he had no choice but to turn around and set up the defense of Miyun City...

Although Jiannu was shouting at Qingshan Pass, their attack was easily repelled by the musketry of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion of the Huben Army.

Seeing the sharp weapons of the Ming army, Jian Nu stopped rushing upwards and kept screaming strangely below, hoping to put great psychological pressure on the Ming army.

They thought that the Ming army was as cowardly as before, and they would have been frightened out of their wits when they heard the Qing Eight Banners arrived.

How did Jiannu know that there were two battalions of the Huben Army at Qingshan Pass? If the enemy's situation was not clearly visible at night, the Huben Army would have rushed down to Qingshan Pass to kill Jiannu.

Yue Tuo felt that time was almost up, and Ming troops from other places should be rushing to Qingshan Pass for support.

He left more than a thousand Jiannu behind to continue his bluff at Qingshan Pass, and decisively led the main force to quickly attack Qiangziling.

In the middle of the night, Qiangziling, dozens of kilometers away from Miyun, was as quiet as usual. The soldiers on duty above had already gone into the tower and fell asleep.

A soldier named Lin Yu was suddenly awakened by the urge to urinate. He hurriedly got up and walked out of the city tower and stood at the crenellation of the city wall. He closed his eyes and urinated while feeling comfortable.

When he finished urinating and took a deep breath and opened his eyes, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be movement under the city wall. He quickly opened his eyes and looked carefully, and sure enough he found countless figures flashing under the city wall.

"Mom, are there any enemies?"

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and hurriedly shouted and ran to the beacon tower:

"Tatar Koubian, brothers, get up quickly..."

"Whizzing……"
To be continued...
