Chapter 729: Punching at Huang Taiji's headquarters

When Zhang Zhun returned to the Central Military Camp, he received a report from Yang Zhiyuan that two Mongolian Thousand-Person teams had entered Yanshan. Because Yanshan was not far from Dongjiabao and even further from the Tartar camp, Yang Zhiyuan and the others were interested in replicating the battle of Pinggang, attacking rapidly, and eating these two Thousand-Person teams. They all felt that as long as they acted quickly, there should be no problems.

"Salt Mountain?"

Zhang Zhun subconsciously stared at the military map.

Yanshan Mountain is located directly south of Dongjiabao, about 150 miles from Dongjiabao and about 200 miles from Cangzhou. Relatively speaking, it is indeed farther from Cangzhou. From a military geography, it is indeed another pavement. No wonder Yang Zhiyuan and the others were moved. Wang Shide reported that the troops were ready and could set off quickly just by waiting for Zhang Zhun's order.

Unfortunately, Zhang Zhun shook his head and said slowly: "This is bait."

Yang Zixuan whispered: "Sir, what do you mean?"

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "Abnormality must be a demon. We just ate two Mongolian teams, but the corners of our mouths have not been completely wiped clean. Huang Taiji rushed to send the two Mongolian teams to our mouths. Do you think there will be such a good thing?"

Yang Zixuan said unwillingly: "This is true... But what if Huang Taiji makes a mistake? What if these two Mongolian Thousand People Teams are not baits, but try to separate our connection with Shandong and then cover up Huang Taiji's other big moves? For example, Huang Taiji may want to separate us from Shandong and attack Dongjiabao again."

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said slowly: "Don't expect Huang Taiji to make mistakes. This man won't make mistakes easily. He is setting up traps and waiting for us to throw them in. The Tartars suffered a lot of losses last time, so he will definitely not continue to attack. His only way is to lure us out of the field to fight. The two thousand Mongolians in Yanshan are bait."

Seeing everyone's gaze, Zhang Zhun explained in detail.

The battle of Pinggang was actually a big blow to Huang Taiji. The loss of two thousand cavalry was secondly. The key was to hit the myth of invincible field battles in the Tartars. This was a heavy blow to all Tartars. Their last advantage was caught by the Hu Ben Army. What qualifications and abilities do they have to be arrogant in the core hinterland of the Ming Dynasty?

The invasions before the Tartars were all based on strong field capabilities. It was precisely because of their strong field capabilities that the Tartars were able to contain all the Ming army in several large strongholds, and then carry out the maximum burning, killing and looting in the vast area, so as to drive out a large number of people and rush on their way slowly and transport a large amount of supplies back to the outside world.

In fact, as long as the Ming army had a little field ability, it could cause great trouble to the Tartars. Because, the Tartars carried hostages and supplies, just like those carrying hundreds of pounds of objects, it was impossible to act quickly. Once they fought with the Ming army, the Tartars themselves would definitely be greatly restricted. Now, the Hu Ben Army cavalry had field ability, which deeply threatened the Tatars' next action.

For Huang Taiji, it is urgent to annihilate the cavalry power of the Hu Ben Army as soon as possible. Otherwise, as time goes by, the situation will become increasingly unfavorable to the Great Jin Dynasty. The situation in Northern Zhili will take a sharp turn, and the time for the Great Jin army to retreat should not be far away. However, if you want to safely carry the looted population and materials, you must avoid the harassment of the Hu Ben Army cavalry.

Therefore, no matter what method is taken, Huang Taiji must destroy the field capabilities of the Hu Ben Army. At this time, Huang Taiji still sent two Mongolian Thousands of Man teams to enter the Yanshan Mountain under the eyes of the Hu Ben Army. What is this not a bait? Zhang Zhun dared to guarantee that Huang Taiji must be very eager to see the Hu Ben Army cavalry in Dongjiabao and immediately launch an attack in the direction of Yanshan Mountain.

"Then... let the Mongols stationed in Yanshan? The Mongols stationed in Yanshan and cut off the land access between us and Shandong. It would be impossible not to destroy it!"

Yang Zixuan said unwillingly.

Everyone else nodded frequently.

In fact, this is true. The location of Yanshan just splits the land connection between Dongjiabao and Shandong. Before that, the land connection between Dongjiabao and Shandong was basically unobstructed. However, when two thousand Mongolians stopped at Yanshan, this connection was cut off. For the time being, it is not felt that the cut off the land passage will have too much impact on the Hu Ben Army, but in the long run, this is not a good thing after all.

The Hu Ben Army took down Pinggang and opened up the relationship with Tianjin Wei. Huang Taiji immediately reacted and sent troops to occupy Yanshan Mountain, split the relationship between Dongjiabao and Shandong, and forced the Hu Ben Army to take action again. If the Hu Ben Army did not take action, he would wait until the Hu Ben Army took action. After all, the Mongols occupied Yanshan Mountain, the one who felt uncomfortable was the Hu Ben Army. Yang Zhiyuan and others wanted to kill these two thousand Mongolians because of this consideration. It cannot be said that they were completely wrong.

Yang Zixuan continued to say slowly: "It is the season for spring plowing. If we do not destroy the Mongols in Yanshan as soon as possible, I am worried that they will launch attacks around, burn, kill, loot, and destroy our spring plowing, which will also bring us huge losses."

The others nodded in agreement again.

This place in Yanshan is quite special, and is very close to the surrounding counties such as Qingyun, Nanpi, Leling, and Haifeng. The Mongolians occupied Yanshan, which not only had an impact on the spring plowing work around Yanshan, but also affected three nearby counties. These three counties have at least millions of acres of fields that can be sown. This is a considerable area. If these fields cannot be sown, it will definitely have a great impact on grain production.

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "In order to ensure the smooth progress of spring plowing work, the Mongolians in Yanshan must be killed. However, we are not taking action."

Yang Zhiyuan's eyes lit up slightly, and suddenly realized something, and said excitedly: "Dragon Cavalry Camp? Yang Weiguo? They came from the south..."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said calmly: "Yes, the Dragon Cavalry Camp did come from the south. We can send a letter to Yang Weiguo, let them harass the Yanshan Mountain, and find an opportunity to give these two thousand Mongolians a little color. Pay attention and remind them that the Tartars' vanguard camp will arrive quickly. After they harass Yanshan Mountain, they will immediately retreat to Qingzhou City. Never fight."

The others understood and immediately began to think about it.

The Dragon Cavalry Camp came from Shandong, and Huang Taiji might not know the news. In his plan, the Dragon Cavalry Camp may not include the budget. The Dragon Cavalry Camp suddenly appeared and launched an attack from Shandong. After the fight, he ran away. Huang Taiji could not catch up. Moreover, because Zhang Zhun was in Dongjiabao, Huang Taiji would definitely not dare to chase the Dragon Cavalry Camp desperately. In this way, the Dragon Cavalry Camp could still escape safely.

I believe that the Mongols stationed in Yanshan are also mute and can’t say anything about their suffering. They must be carefully waiting for the Hu Ben cavalry to come from the direction of Dongjiabao, but they did not expect that the Hu Ben cavalry would suddenly come from behind. When they reacted, it would be too late. If they were careful planning, the Dragon Cavalry Camp could kill 30% of the Mongols in one round of shooting.

The Dragon Cavalry Battalion of Yang Weiguo has about 1,500 troops, and the number is indeed a little less. However, they already know the experience of Pinggang fighting, know how to more effectively exert their own firepower, and know how to more effectively eliminate the enemy's living forces. Therefore, their results will inevitably be richer than Pinggang fighting. In fact, as long as half of the Mongols are defeated, they will win.

Yang Qianqiang said regretfully: "It's a pity that we only have one camp in the south. If there were two camps, the two thousand Mongolians in Yanshan would eat it with a click! Why didn't Huang Taiji take all this gift? I'm sorry for his affection and kindness!"

Everyone else nodded with regret.

Yes, if the Hu Ben Army came from Shandong, it would be possible to easily eat the two thousand Mongolians in Yanshan. When the Mongols were caught off guard, there would be no big problem with the annihilation. The problem now is that the Hu Bird Camp and the Leopard Cavalry Camp are both on the Dongjiabao side and are not effective.

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly, his sharp eyes fell on the location of Cangzhou City on the map, and said calmly: "No need to regret, we still have work to do."

Yang Qianqiang asked hurriedly: "What's your life?"

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "Huang Taiji is definitely not in Cangzhou now. He should be ambushing somewhere not far from Yanshan with his vanguard camp, waiting quietly for us to fall into the trap. I dare say that there are basically no Tartars around Cangzhou now."

Yang Zixuan's eyes lit up, he clenched his fists hard, and said excitedly: "What do you mean is to attack Cangzhou? to attack the Tartars' base camp?"

Zhang Zhun waved his fist hard, and said with a cold expression: "Yes!"

All the officers looked at me, and I looked at you, and then they clenched their fists excitedly. Ye Longxin and Wang Shide were also excitedly staring at the location of Cangzhou on the map. Here, the two marked a huge red circle, and there was a huge cross inside the circle. This mark is where Huang Taiji's base camp is located.

Since heading south, Huang Taiji has placed his base camp not far from Cangzhou, and there has been no change since then. Originally, tens of thousands of Tartars and Mongols had entered this base camp, and later Huang Taiji divided his troops to loot, and only Huang Taiji and the Forward Camp temporarily stayed in this base camp.

A sneak attack on Cangzhou!

A sneak attack on the Tartars' base camp!

Damn, this is a fatal blow to the Tartars!

When Huang Taiji went out to ambush, it was impossible to bring all his tents. Most of his belongings should be in the base camp in Cangzhou. This time, the Hu Ben Army cavalry killed him and had to crush all of Huang Taiji's nests! I wonder if Huang Taiji brought his women to the battle, otherwise his women would be captured by the Hu Ben Army.

Because Huang Taiji took all the troops away, the Hu Ben Army probably couldn't kill many of them. However, there were many things that Zhang Zhun was interested in in the base camp. For example, the wounded Tartars, the information of the Great Jin Kingdom, and perhaps some gold and silver wealth. Even if there was nothing, burning the Tartars' base camp with a fire would be a huge victory.

If this matter was really successful, Huang Taiji might really be crying and robbing the earth. He wanted to ambush the Hu Ben Army, but he did not succeed. Instead, he threw away his base camp and all his things were stolen. He, the Khan of the Great Jin Kingdom, didn't know how to face his subordinates.

I believe that after this incident, it is impossible for the Tartars to withdraw as soon as possible. Even if they were replaced by the Hu Ben Army, if they suffered such an attack, they would have to withdraw quickly. They would have no shame to see others! Even if they could not even keep their own base camp, what else would they say?

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Order the troops to prepare more tincture oil, torches, etc. We must burn the Tartars hard!"

All the officers went there happily.

Although there were only two cavalry battalions dispatched, there were a lot more people watching the ceremony. Yang Zhiyuan stayed on duty, and the other officers had to go to Cangzhou in person. Zhang Zhun did not stop him. In the battle between Pinggang, the Hu Ben Army seized many war horses, and the senior officers basically had war horses. They followed the cavalry to watch the battle and did not occupy the cavalry's war horse organization.

According to Zhang Zhun's idea, as the number of war horses continues to increase, most of the infantry of the Hu Ben Army will eventually become cavalry. Observing the combat concept of cavalry in advance is actually a good thing. Moreover, mixed infantry and cavalry operations in the future will become the mainstream of the Hu Ben Army's combat. Since there is such a good opportunity, let them all go and observe.

Of course, there are still some risks to raid Huang Taiji's base camp. No matter how much Huang Taiji relaxed his base camp, he would not relax like a chicken cage from a farmer. The key to the Hu Ben Army's cavalry came here this time lies in time. Huang Taiji must attack in the direction of Yanshan, and then the Hu Ben Army's cavalry attacked Cangzhou to fight a time difference.

In fact, the attack plan of the Hu Ben Army and the ambush plan of the Tatars are linked. If there is a problem in a certain link in the middle, it may lead to a huge change in the battle situation. First, Yang Weiguo led the Dragon Cavalry Camp to attack the Mongolian cavalry in Yanshan, and then Huang Taiji quickly rushed to rescue and tried to eat the Hu Ben Army cavalry.

In this link, there is a key point, that is, Huang Taiji must believe that the Tartars in Yanshan were attacked by the Hu Ben cavalry, and they were also the Hu Ben cavalry from Dongjiabao, and quickly led the vanguard battalion to rescue. If Huang Taiji did not act and remained at the ambush, then when Zhang Zhun attacked Cangzhou, Huang Taiji would be able to quickly return to the rescue and cut off Zhang Zhu's retreat.

Well, after Huang Taiji sent out aid to Yanshan Mountain, the Huben cavalry in Dongjiabao could quickly attack and attack Huang Taiji's base camp. Huang Taiji had to return to the rescue because he inserted into Yanshan Mountain, and it would be too late. In this way, Zhang Zhun had enough time to slowly ravage Huang Taiji's base camp.

Of course, this link-by-step plan is easy to say, but it will change in implementation. Zhang Zhun must calculate the time accurately. If there is a mistake in time and he just happened to encounter Huang Taiji and he retreated from near Yanshan Mountain, the two sides would definitely have an encounter. Of course, Zhang Zhun is no longer afraid of encountering the Tartars. But once he encounters it, he cannot destroy the Tartars' base camp.

If he was too early, it would definitely not work. Because if Zhang Zhun acted early, Huang Taiji would definitely give up Yanshan immediately and return to the base camp. In fact, there is another fighter here, which is to attack the Tatars' base camp, mobilize Huang Taiji to return to the base camp, and then concentrate troops to attack Yanshan and eat the two thousand Mongolians.

However, relatively speaking, Zhang Zhun still likes to directly kill Huang Taiji's base camp. He really wants to see what is in Huang Taiji's base camp. By the way, the two have been fighting for more than two years, but they have never met each other at close range.

"Where is Yang Weiguo?"

Zhang Zhun asked cautiously.

"Thirty miles south of Qingyun."

Wang Shide replied.

Zhang Zhun silently calculated the time for the pigeons to communicate and the time for the information transmission. Finally, he was convinced that the Hu Ben cavalry had three hours to prepare.

"Set out in one and a half hours!"

Zhang Zhun said decisively.

"clear!"

Officers at all levels went there immediately.

Soon, the news that the Hu Ben Army cavalry was preparing to attack Cangzhou spread. Sneak attack on Huang Taiji's base camp was an incredible thing, and almost all those with the conditions and qualifications wanted to follow and take a look.

The old man Chen Guoxi first found Zhang Zhun, with a eager look and a difficult tone, "Yulin, give me a chance..."

Zhang Zhun naturally understood the old man’s thoughts, so he patted his shoulder happily and said calmly: “Go on the horse and take a look.”

Old man Chen Guoxi hurriedly led his horse and walked on the playground. He has been a groom since he was a child and has always been a groom since then. This riding skill is naturally OK. Although he is not young, he is still stable on the horse's back. Even if he follows the large army at a high speed, there should be no big problem.

Zhang Zhun nodded, acquiesced to the old man's request, and said with a smile: "Follow me!"

Old Man Chen Guoxi immediately left happily.

He had been waiting for a lifetime and finally waited for this day. In the past, he suffered a lot in front of the Tartars, but now he can finally be proud. What an important event is the Hu Ben Army to attack Huang Taiji's golden tent? If he missed it, he would really die with his eyes closed!

With the old man Chen Guoxi as a role model, the other people's thoughts were all moving. Cao Siming, Dong Sanhuai, Liu Zongshao, Liu Zongli and others also wanted to go to watch the battle. Zhang Zhun agreed. He was not afraid that many people would know about such a good thing, but he wanted everyone in the world to know about it!

"Strike!"

Seeing that the time was about the same, Zhang Zhun said without hesitation.

"Da da da da!"

The rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly exploded like spring thunder.
Chapter completed!
