Because the Ming army was well prepared, Huang Taiji had to lead his troops to leave Gubeikou and march eastward. He observed Caojiazhai Pass and Yangjiabao along the way, and finally arrived at the Quanshui River.

"Let the soldiers take a break."

Standing by the river, Huang Taiji ordered.

In August and September, such a marching is also a torment for the soldiers.

There is a river right now, which is a good place for soldiers to rest.

However, as this place is close to the Great Wall, Huang Taiji still ordered Zhu Du'er to send a large number of scouts to observe the movements of the Ming army around him and beware of the Ming army's sentry detectives.

When Huang Taiji was still resting by the river, he arranged for his troops to join Du'er and Tailai Sun and returned here and discussed the next action with him.

"Taiji, go down the Quanshui River and Modaoyu and Qianziling Pass. Should we go over and take a look?"

Cha Du'er said.

The Great Wall of Qianzilingguan has a complex terrain and because Quanshui River passes by, it took great pains to build this section of the city wall in the Ming Dynasty.

The deputy general gave orders to several guerrilla generals around him.

Zhang Juzheng said again, this is already accustomed to it. Whenever they hear any news, they will think of passing it to Prince Yu’s Mansion to know.

"I just came back from my teacher and heard that the Ministry of War had found out that Yang Xuan ordered the army in Jizhen to go to Shanhaiguan, saying that he would support the Tartars attacked the cities in Liaodong."

As the name suggests, there are walls on the ridge.

As for the other Tartars outside the city, let’s forget it. Although there are not many people, they really want to fight out. When they see that they are too many enemies, they will run away immediately, and they may not attract Tartars again.

Baduer suggested again.

Just because of the people in the capital in the Ming Dynasty, we should expect the Beijing camp to fight. Let’s forget it.

When he continued to walk down from the Modaoyu city wall and approached the wall section of the Kunziling city wall, Huang Taiji finally had a bright eye.

"After crossing the city wall, I led my troops to directly search for the river channel and rushed towards Miyun along the river channel. If the city could be captured, I would seize it. If the Ming army had a strict defense, I would directly lead my troops south to attack Huairou, Shunyi, and rushed down the river.

The Great Wall is too long. Even though the Ming Dynasty has arranged heavy troops to defend along the Nine Borders, it is still impossible to be tight everywhere.

Huang Taiji and his party had only about a dozen people. The light car Jian quietly touched the edge of the Great Wall. He also encountered several teams of scouts responsible for covering the horses and probing the horses.

"Taiji, after attacking Miyun, do you want me to lead people north to take Gubeikou?"

They gathered here, just hoping that if no enemies appeared for a long time, the city gate might be opened and let them in. But now the Tartars have appeared, and the Ming army in the city will never open the door for them.

Cha Du'er responded: "I heard that a few years ago, the Ming people rebuilt the walls of the capital and expanded the capital a lot."

Wei Guangde could only sigh, and he was still two days later from thinking about this.

At this time, most of the Ming army was almost at Shanhaiguan. Even if they were transferred back to Santun camp, it would take several days.

Zhang Juzheng had just returned to the Imperial College from the cabinet and told Wei Guangde about the news.

If we attack Gubeikou, there will definitely be defense in the capital of Ming Kingdom."

The city gate was quickly closed, and a large number of people gathered at the city gate and could not enter the city.

Huang Taiji thought for a long time before speaking: "There are many Ming troops in Gubeikou, so it is not easy to conquer it in one battle, and we have not brought enough troops this time.

Huang Taiji murmured in a low voice, then looked up at the sky and said, "We will go over and take a look at it. If we don't work, we will continue to go down. I don't believe that I can't find a place to break through the barrier."

He called Sun and recalled that it was the first time they approached Beijing, the capital of Ming Dynasty. It had been more than ten years, but he didn't expect that he could still visit his hometown again this time.

The people and horses are struggling back and forth, and they are trapped and exhausted. Even if they come back, they will take several days to repair and there is no morale to fight at all.

"I inform you that before the Tartars came out of seclusion, no one was allowed to open the city gate when they came. I will keep the double posts strictly at night. Whoever dares to cheat and cheat will be blamed for turning against me ruthlessly."

Siege the city, which consumes the lives of soldiers, is unpaid. My Mongolian warriors should gallop on the grassland, not die here."

"I heard that this wall has existed very early. When I came last time, I heard the leader say that when Mongolia ruled the Ming Dynasty, this wall was here, and I don't know when it was built.

Although the mountains here are not steep, they have an extremely unique terrain. The V-shaped Great Wall is built in this mountain.

Although it was a little late, Wei Guangde still asked, after all, he was in the capital, and it would be a big deal if he was really stolen by the Tartars.

At this time, under Huairou City, the situation seemed to be a copy of Miyun.

The beacon towers arranged along the Great Wall acted as the fastest communication method of this era, quickly conveying the news of the Tartar invasion to the surroundings.

He sighed secretly in his heart, and then he left a small number of cavalry to observe the enemy situation. He led most of his troops to rush southwest for a section. After leaving the mountains and entering the plains, he did not go west and rushed to Huairou, but went south and headed straight for Shunyi.

It is naturally the best to be able to enter the city. If you can't get in, you can only hide in the surrounding mountains. Many villagers even find special shelters in the mountains to avoid war.

"What does Taiji mean?"

Of course, although such a location is easy to break, it is impossible to enter and exit due to the terrain. It can only be said that a small group of troops can act. If it is a large army of tens of thousands of people, it can only go to the gates on the Great Wall.

Huang Taiji spoke.

When the people under the city saw this scene, they no longer dared to stay near the city gate. They spread along both sides of the city walls and hid in the mountains.

When conducting investigation, Mongolian men are quite good at it, and anti-reconnaissance is not weak.

The troops were insufficient. This time when Huang Taiji entered the pass, he did not intend to loot all the cities along the way. Forget Huairou, it was still more attractive to Tongzhou and the capital.

Cha Du'er asked curiously.

"After so many years, the Ming people thought that they had re-operated Tongzhou. It would be even more difficult to capture it now."

In fact, the people living on the edge of the Great Wall have long had their own means of survival.

Due to the complex terrain of this Great Wall, the city wall was not built on the top of the mountain, but on the hillside. Because of the ravines, many of the city walls showed a straight up and down trend, especially at the bottom of the gully, where the defense was lax, and there was almost no sign of the Ming army.

"Well, this time we mainly teach the Emperor of Ming Dynasty a lesson, focusing on looting food, which is what the Khan means.

Cha Er replied.

At this time, at the gate of Miyun City, the Ming soldiers pushed the people who wanted to squeeze into the city. They wanted to close the gate. As for those who could not enter the city, they could only stomp their feet outside the city and run into the surrounding mountains to avoid this war.

The two of them took their men to attack the hillside on the left and right.

Huang Taiji pointed to the front wall, called Sun and told him about his plans and plans, and they added and improved them.

About a hundred miles northeast of the county town, there are tide rivers and rivers connected to grasslands, and one pass in the ancient north can accommodate tens of horses, so it became the only way back for the Mongolians during the Yuan Dynasty.

However, indeed, this section of the city wall is much lower than the ones built by the Ming people later, which means that this section of the road is not easy to walk. If we were carrying tens of thousands of troops, it would be inconvenient to cross from here."

Huang Taiji did not answer Badu'er's question, but asked.

In the 29th year of Jiajing, Altan Khan personally led tens of thousands of troops to break through Gubeikou, and captured Miyun, Huairou, and Shunyi along the way. The troops headed straight to the capital, but were blocked by two big rivers, so that they could neither approach Beijing nor seize Tongzhou.

When copying the ceremony, the place you selected was in the large courtyard next to the Imperial College.

Shortly after the gate of Miyun County was closed, smoke and dust appeared on the east side. Ming Jun on the city tower looked at the scene with a panic expression.

Huang Taiji stood outside the city with a single arrow and observed the Ming army on the city wall. He was obviously prepared and could not complete the raid plan.

And Ba Du'er's proposal was that he led his people to attack Gubeikou from behind.

Some people could only curse and leave quickly, heading towards the mountainous areas to the north, and more people could only avoid the avenue and move towards the south.

After the army entered the pass, it only needed to send a small group of troops to capture the hills on both sides, and the passage between the army entering and leaving the side walls came out.

Soon, more than a dozen people returned to the camp quietly, and their tracks were not discovered by the Ming army.

At this time, the deputy generals and Ming soldiers on the Miyun City Wall looked at the Tartar cavalry rolling away and all quietly reached out to wipe their sweat.

To the north of the capital and east of Huairou, there is a city of Miyun located in fertile soil.

Huang Taiji and Ta Lai Sun had never been here, but Ba Du'er had been here and had also observed this section of the city wall up close.

"Will you send the news to Prince Yu's Mansion later?"

"What's going on with this section of the city wall? It seems to be different from other places."

After the passage opened, Huang Taiji led the army directly into the pass and headed straight to Miyun.

The first people who discovered that the Tatars invaded were naturally the Governor General of Gubeikou and Deputy General Miyun.

Therefore, the Mongols never regarded this place as a barrier to attack.

The Ming Dynasty later only renovated this section of the city wall, but it was not built from scratch.

But this time, after Huang Taiji investigated the Ming army passes such as Gubeikou, Badu'er had an idea and felt that the Ming army here would not have a relaxed attitude, so he had never seen the Mongolian army.

Wei Guangde answered, then thought for a while and asked again: "Did the Ministry of War order the troops in Jizhen be recovered?"

In fact, the entire Great Wall is not a city wall. In many places with steep mountains and complex terrain, a slightly thicker wall is built according to the mountains, and no heavy troops are arranged around it.

After passing through this gully area, you will not encounter strong resistance.

"Modaoyu, Qianziling?"

When he called Sun, he smiled. Perhaps because he thought that this trip would return with a full load, a happy smile appeared on his face.

Only scattered piers were observed around, and when they were found to have Tartars entered the country, they set off beacons to inform the Ming army to resist behind the city wall.

Huang Taiji understood Badu'er's thoughts. Although the city wall in front of him was low and was conducive to climbing and capturing, the nearly 10,000 people he brought to pass through was still quite time-consuming.

"Forget it, King Yu knows, what if you are worried?

What if the Tartars didn't expect this and didn't make it in?

We should still trust the Ministry of War, they should know how to do it.”
