please make me king

Chapter 1301 The First Battle
On April [-], the ninth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty, it was sunny.

Late spring has passed, and early summer has arrived, and there is a trace of irritability in the sultry air.

Azig, King of Duoluoyingwu County of the Qing Dynasty, rode forward and looked at the Taiyuan City not far away, which was waiting in full force, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

He led the elite of the Three Banners under his command, passed five stages and killed six generals, traveled thousands of miles, and finally arrived in front of Taiyuan, never expecting such a situation.

The city of Taiyuan, which was heavily guarded by the Ming army, has been captured by the "Shun thieves", but the defeated Ming army did not leave. Instead, they retreated to Yuxian County to the east of Taiyuan, staring at both Shun and Qing.

As we all know, the triangular structure is the most stable structure in the world.

Zhu Xieyuan led the defeated Ming army to retreat to Yuxian County. For the "Eastern Captives" who were eager to fight, it was far more disgusting than the Ming army losing Taiyuan City.

If when Azig led the Eastern Lu army to arrive, the Ming army was still defending the city and the rebel army besieged, he was confident that he would defeat the rebel army first, and then go down to Taiyuan Jiancheng.

But now Taiyuan City was thrown to the rebel army whose strength was obviously stronger than that of the Ming army, and the Ming army retreated into the mountains of Yuxian County, which was extremely uncomfortable for the Eastern Lu army.

"What does Zhu Xieyuan mean by this!" Azige couldn't help pointing to Taiyuan City in front of the guide, and pointed to the mountains in the east, and asked the envoy of the Ming army.

"Obviously, Zhu Xieyuan is incompetent, can't fight, can't defend, and that's why!" The envoy was also shocked. He never expected that Zhu Xieyuan couldn't even defend the fortified city of Taiyuan in just a few days.

"Can you cooperate with the inside and the outside?" Azig frowned, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the merchant envoy.

"There are more than ten shops in the city, all of which are opened by our own people." The emissary hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "It's just that if there is no cooperation from the general, I'm afraid I can only lose my life in vain."

"Okay, got it!" Azig waved his hand impatiently, then turned to Abahai and Yanguli and asked, "What do you two think?"

"Since the 'Shun Bandit' is defending the strong city, why don't we attack the Ming army?" "Rao Yu Baylor," Abahai frowned, and couldn't help but suggest.

"That's true!" Azig nodded when he heard the words, "The Han people are cowardly and will only defend the isolated city. If I send troops to attack Zhu Xieyuan, I think the 'Shun thief' will only applaud!"

Since the three legs stand together, if I break one leg, the problem will be solved.

Zhu Xieyuan's envoy was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help criticizing loudly: "We treat each other with sincerity and invite you to come here. I never thought that you and other barbarians are shameless and treacherous. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world? ?”

"Shameful?" Azig's eyes turned cold, and he couldn't help laughing, "As long as this king can make the world cry, he will not be afraid of being laughed at by the world!"

"Abahai listened to the order and immediately led his troops to set up camp for a long-term plan; Yangguli listened to the order and led his troops to launch a tentative attack on the Ming army in Yu County tomorrow morning."

And just when Azige and others arrived outside Taiyuan City, Zhang Shun was standing on the watchtower of the Rebel Army in the south of Taiyuan City, observing the military appearance of the Houjin Army with a "thousand-mile mirror". next to.

It turned out that after the rebel army occupied Taiyuan City and the Ming army retreated, Zhang Shun started preparations for the battle with the Hou Jin army.

Contrary to what most people imagined, Zhang Shun did not sit in Taiyuan himself after appeasing the people and gentry in Taiyuan City. Instead, he left Sun Chuanting and Wang Zhong, the former Ming army combination, as the generals defending the city, and set up another to lead the Fire Gun Battalion. Xu Quan served as the supervisor of the army.

But he himself sneaked out of Taiyuan and personally led the remaining [-] troops to camp outside the city.

The method of using soldiers is the most taboo to stick to it.

For example, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty guarded the lonely city alone, and then the Jin army moved freely and horizontally, which is a taboo for military strategists.

Therefore, after repelling the Ming army in other places, Zhang Shun ordered Sun Chuanting and others to reorganize the Taiyuan city defense, and at the same time arranged a complete defense line outside the city to prevent the Jin army from taking advantage of the cavalry to pass around the city and break into the rear of the rebel army.

Its main strategies are:

One is to use the abandoned camp of the Ming army in the northeast of the rebel camp and the trenches of the two armies to expand, forming a blocking system with the camps of the two armies as the core and seven or eight trenches as the line of defense.

It is connected to the bank of the Fen River in the west and Hanshan in the east of Taiyuan in the east to prevent the Jin army from going south.

Relying on the Fen River, boats are arranged to patrol.

Mobilize Zhang Dashou's cavalry to cross the river, patrol the west of the Fen River, and beware of the post-Jin army crossing the river.

In this way, the roads for the Hou Jin army to flee to Yuci, Xugou, Jiaocheng and other places were completely blocked.

Seeing the arrival of the Jin army, the rebel army naturally couldn't be idle.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but ordered: "Where is Yang Chengzu? Go forward and test the depth of Donglu!"

Yang Chengzu was not as cautious as Zhang Shun. He couldn't help laughing when he heard the order, and then got on his horse and shouted loudly: "Brothers, get on the horse! That Donglu has such a great reputation, today I want to let him experience it. It's amazing!"

Following Yang Chengzu's order, the gate of the rebel camp opened, and three thousand riders rushed out as if shaking the ground.

Good guy, it doesn't matter when Yang Chengzu goes into battle, but Azig was taken aback.

"It's been so many years, I haven't seen such a bold and reckless person!" Azig couldn't help but sneered, and ordered.

"Haning, you and I will lead Niu Lu under our command to defeat the enemy!"

This Haning'a was born in the Fucha family, a manchurian inlaid white banner family.

Where Nurhachi raised his troops, he once led his clan to attack Saqiku City, killed his minister Khamsunikan, and surrendered more than [-] people, so he was awarded the title of Niulu Ezhen.

Since then, counting meritorious service.He once fought against Yuan Chonghuan in Guangqumen from Zhengming; he also conquered Dalinghe, Datong Town, and Pidao. He made many contributions and was promoted to the second-class Lazhangjing.

The so-called "Jia Lazhang Jing" refers to the positions of generals and guerrillas in the Ming Dynasty. The first and second ranks are equivalent to generals, and the third ranks are equivalent to guerrilla generals.

When Nahaning heard the order, he quickly ordered the slaves on the left and right to put on chain mail and cotton armor for him, then got on his horse and said, "Haning will surely fulfill his mission!"

Then he led the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry under his command, and flew towards Yang Chengzu on a flying horse.

"Good time!" Yang Chengzu couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw this, and quickly shouted: "The whole army obeys the order and prepares to charge!"

The cavalry then took the flag as a unit, divided them into [-] squads, and rushed straight to the Eastern Captives.

Haninga seemed to be taken aback, and quickly ordered: "Shoot with a bow and arrow first, and don't block the front!"

Following Haning'a's order, the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry also spread their wings and set up their bows with long arrows, ready to draw their bows and shoot arrows at any time.

It's too late, it's too soon.

The two sides quickly approached for more than ten steps, only to hear Haning'a's order, and saw the cavalry of the eastern captives shooting with their bows one after another, and most of the rebel cavalry fell off their horses with arrows.

And Yang Chengzu took the lead, and his chest was full of arrows, looking from a distance, he was shot like a hedgehog.

However, Yang Chengzu was not afraid, instead he shouted loudly: "Brothers, Donglu's arrows are exhausted, now it's my turn to wait for the spear to make meritorious deeds!"

As soon as Yang Chengzu finished speaking, the rebel cavalry slammed into the Manchu cavalry hard, and only the opponents they bumped into turned their backs.

How many heroes have been stabbed by an iron spear to the point of chilling their hearts.

Nahaning Alai hastily put away his horn bow, drew out his waist knife and slammed Yang Chengzu's stabbing spear away.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chengzu took advantage of his strength and slapped Haning'a's back with his backhand, and immediately hit him with golden flowers in the eyes, and he was out of breath for a while.

Not to mention how the two fought against each other, but Zhang Shun stood on the stage and watched carefully for a long time, feeling mixed feelings.

The good news is that the Hou Jin army did not have three heads and six arms, and they would still be injured if they were cut with a knife, and they would die if they were stabbed with a gun.

What is worrying is that there are so many brave and fearless people in the Hou Jin army, who can actually adopt the "ten-step shooting to the face" tactic that requires extremely high morale and courage. It can be called the strongest opponent Zhang Shun has encountered since he raised his army.
