Chapter 534 533 Yang Xuan prays

Author: Guests in Parallel Space

Although he did not intend to attack the capital, he wanted to teach the Ming court a lesson. It would not work without annihilation of a Ming army.

Huang Taiji naturally wanted to achieve greater results when he scored in this time, so as to increase his prestige among his clan members.

But since he broke into the Ming territory, all the Ming troops he encountered avoided the battle and defended the city, leaving him with nowhere to play.

When he knew that there were Ming cavalry in Sanhe, he happened to learn that the Sanhe guards led their troops to patrol the border, so he was just right to use it to attract them to annihilate them with Zheng Guantun. He was excited when he thought about it.

At this time, Huang Taiji had already begun to recall all the scattered soldiers, asking them to suspend looting and prepare a pocket to pack the Ming cavalry in Jizhen.

For this reason, even though he had a man who followed him and participated in the planning of the matter, he also called Sun to the looting army outside.

On a small piece of smoothed open space, several stones were placed randomly.

If Wei Guangde was here, it could be easily seen that this is the general location of several cities north of the capital of Zhili, Northern.

Huang Taiji and the others are now in the territory of Ming Dynasty. If they are negligent in the battle, they may be doomed.

Although they are ready to apply oil to their feet at any time, after all, the Ming army has not arrived, and they still have enough room to display.

However, now they can only mobilize more than 5,000 people. They have collected two batches of looted property before, and have distributed two thousand people to escort out of customs.

There were about 2,000 people plundering more than ten groups, and they also acted as scouts to monitor the surrounding situation. These 5,000 people were already the greatest force he could gather.

However, the Ming army did not discover that most of the Mongolian Tartars that had scattered in the past had disappeared, and there were activities in only a few main directions.

"Taiji, if it were just the Ming dogs in Sanhe, there was no need to be afraid of them. There were only a few thousand people around. As long as we chose the right terrain to launch a surprise attack, we could destroy them in one go."

He called Sun and stared at the placed stones and said, "What I fear most now is the Ming army in those cities.

If they come out to make trouble at this time, even though they look down on them in normal times, it will be very annoying to appear at critical moments."

"That's why I called you back."

Huang Taiji smiled and said, "In the Shunyi side, I left three hundred people to stare at me, and wandered around the city gates every day. In the words of the Han people, it was the old plan to doubt the soldiers.

There was a small encounter in Pinggu before. Hundreds of people died in the Ming army. They probably dared not go out of the city to fight. The rest were Huairou and Miyun.

According to those white-pises, Miyun garrison was a deputy general of Ji Town, responsible for the defense of the Great Wall Pass near Miyun, where there were many soldiers.

Huairou is a little short of soldiers and horses, but our strength is not capable of siegeing the city."

Hearing Huang Taiji say this, he nodded in Sun and agreed with his point of view.

In fact, these words are all conclusions drawn by Huang Taiji and Ba Duer after discussing.

At this time, the only ones that could support Zhengguantun were the Jizhen cavalry and the Miyun defenders.

"Leave a thousand people to surround this Ming army. You will bring more than a thousand people in the headquarters to hide in the woods northwest of Zhengguantun. Whether the Ming army comes from Huairou or Miyun, you will find the right opportunity to intercept and kill.

Baduer and I led 3,000 people to station in Zhengguantun, waiting for the Ming army to come.

As long as they dare to leave the city, we will find an opportunity to kill them all and then return to the prairie."

Huang Taiji spoke up and said all the battle strategies they planned, and then it depends on the opinions of Sun.

Sun stared at Shizi for a while, looked up at him, then nodded and said, "I listen to Taiji."

"If the Ming army in Miyun comes, we will naturally increase our achievements. If they don't come, your troops will be cut off from the entire army. I guess the troops in Xuanfu are not far from here."

Huang Taiji continued to add.

"Taiji, in fact, the troops from the Ming army's Ji Town are probably coming soon in the past few days."

When Sun was called, he said, "We set up this pocket, I think we can wait for at most two days. If the Ming army does not appear the day after tomorrow, it is better for us to withdraw from Ming as planned."

"Well, you're right. If we don't fight with the people from Xuanfu and Jizhen in Mingguo here, that's too passive.

We have to decide where to fight and how big it is."

Huang Taiji nodded and said with a final say: "It's settled. If the Ming army does not appear in the next day, we will retreat."

After saying that, he turned his head and ordered Ba Du'er: "Send someone to keep an eye on the capital of Ming Kingdom, in the direction of Changping, in Sanhe and Pinggu, and explore the horses fifty miles ahead to investigate the movements of the Ming army."

"Yes, Taiji."

Ba Du'er nodded immediately and replied.

The Mongolians were ready, but the Ming army was unaware of it at this moment.

After Sun Bin led the Jizhen cavalry to leave Tongzhou City, he walked along the original route towards Sanhe County. However, they were discovered by Mongolian scouts shortly after they left the city and reported it to Huang Taiji urgently.

At this time, news of villages and towns along the Wenyu River that were plundered by Tartars had spread in the capital. The people in the city became more frightened and worried that the Tartars would cross the Wenyu River and attack the capital this time.

The emperors in the palace knew that the Jingying was a good person, and of course the people didn't know, but they knew what the Jingying had.

If the Beijing camp really wants to defend the capital, the people are actually unsure.

However, the capital city has a wall that is far taller than the surrounding cities, which undoubtedly guarantees their safety.

With the arrival of a Jizhen cavalry outside Dongzhimen, the worries that had previously surrounded the people in the capital gradually disappeared.

Although martial law is strictly prohibited in the capital, only the people are strictly regulated.

In fact, the dignitaries and nobles in the capital, as well as those who serve the palace and the government office, still perform their duties.

The water from Yuquan Mountain is sent to the palace on time every day.

Yexiang's business is also indispensable in the capital.

In Wei Guangde's eyes, he didn't know what to say except shaking his head and sighing.

This time, Huang Taiji was just planning to loot, but if he really wanted to attack the capital, if they really found a way to cross the river, they just needed to launch a surprise attack in the early morning, and they could really rush into the city directly.

Even Wei Guangde was wondering whether Li Zicheng's troops and horses broke the walls of Beijing and quickly captured the capital when Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

The capital has too many people. Even if there are no people who flee on the streets, they are the largest cities in the world in this era, no doubt about it.

In this era, there are too many restrictions that make urban design unreasonable.

However, Wei Guangde is not a professional, so he can't even say anything.

Moreover, even if he could think of some, it would be a big deal to make a lot of changes, and it might not be pleasing to the effort.

At noon that day, Wei Guangde received an urgent letter from Ma Fang at Prince Yu's Mansion.

The letter was issued by Ma Fang when he led his troops to Changping. Now he has led his troops to move closer to Huairou. This is also in accordance with the orders of the Ministry of War, intending to block the way the Tartars flee north with Xuanfu troops.

The Ministry of War has now begun to interfere with the command of various departments in the Northern Zhili. They did not choose to send letters to Yang Xuan, the governor of Ji Liao, but instead directly wanted the troops in Jizhen to issue orders in the name of the Ministry of War.

Some of these orders were consistent with the orders issued by Yang Xuan, so the generals of the army naturally followed the order without saying a word.

However, there are more orders that conflict with each other, but according to the last text of the Ministry of War, the generals who led the troops naturally knew how to choose.

Although Yang Xuan was their immediate superior, his promotion was all in the hands of the Ministry of War Military Affairs.

However, at this time, Yang Bo was not happy in the duty room. The Ministry of War had already received news that Sun Bin led his troops to rescue Zhengguantun, Sanhe.

The cavalry left by Sun Bin in Tongzhou had been severely weakened, and the Jizhen army advanced westward slowly, and the Xuanfu army was about to take up its position, but the Jizhen army was closest to its destination and was still more than fifty miles away from Pinggu County, which was more than a day.

As for the army that needs to be arranged in Sanhe and Tongzhou, it will take at least two days to get in place.

This is the uncertainty on the battlefield.

According to normal circumstances, the army in Jizhen rushed back from Shanhaiguan and should be about to arrive at the place.

But they hurried from Santunying to Shanhaiguan, and then returned the same route.

During this period, there was no long-distance training for the Ming army, and it was difficult for the soldiers to gather together to travel far.

After several days of continuous hard work, the soldiers in the military camp complained. Under such circumstances, the officers in charge of the army did not dare to blame them too much, fearing that they would cause mutiny in the soldiers.

Mutiny occurs at this time, and that is not a joke.

We can only find many reasons to slow down the speed of progress of soldiers.

However, after the news was fed back to the Ministry of War, Yang Bo felt that his whole body was in a bad state.

In his opinion, this should be Yang Xuan's secret move.

Thinking of the dispute between him and Yang Xuan this year, Yang Bo has the urge to destroy him for the first time.

"Mr. Yang, Yang Xuan's reply is back."

At this time, Ge Jin, the Minister of War, quickly stepped into the house and handed over the official documents he had just received to Yang Bo and said.

This was the unfavorable document for Jizhen to defend the capital that the emperor had questioned before, and asked Yang Xuan to tell him what he had done during the period after the Tartars broke the side wall.

Yang Bo took the official document and asked casually: "What did he say?"

"Hey, you can see it yourself."

Ge Jin was unwilling to say that he was the assistant to the Rongzheng in the Beijing camp, and he spent most of his time patrolling the city walls these days.

It was also a coincidence that when I entered the inspection to Guangqu Gate, I received a reply from Yang Xuan of Sanhe to the Ministry of War.

He was the Minister of War and had a great status in the Ministry of War. He immediately took the official letter and was furious.

"He, how could he say that?"

Yang Bo quickly read Yang Xuan's writing and was immediately furious.
