Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 163 Huang Taiji Detours to Xifengkou, the Great War Begins

As time passed day by day, more and more soldiers and horses were mobilized by Huang Taiji to Xifengkou.

Besides Xifeng Pass, Huang Taiji was still at Hongshan Pass, and there were soldiers and horses stationed at Da'an Pass, preparing to break into the pass directly in three ways.

This time, Huang Taiji could almost be said to be out in full force, and by the way, he also pulled out the newly formed Eight Banners of Han Dynasty.

Now that Huang Taiji has formed the Han Eight Banners, the strength of Huang Taiji at this time has far exceeded the historical strength.

Before attacking Xifengkou, Huang Taiji also sent a team to pretend to attack Shanhaiguan to paralyze the court.

On the third day of October, due to the small ice river, Liaodong is now extremely cold.

On the wall of Ningyuan City, a soldier standing on the watchtower put the spear in his hand next to him, folded his arms across his chest, and kept stomping his feet, hoping to keep warm.

He kept trembling on the watchtower, his eyes looked out from time to time.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared from the end of the world.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of smoke and dust, and the soldiers squinted their eyes and looked in that direction.

As they approached, the soldiers finally saw clearly that this was a group of slave cavalry.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

When the soldier saw it clearly, he hurriedly screamed loudly. He ran directly to the big bell next to him, picked up the wooden hammer that struck the bell, and smashed it hard on the copper bell.

"Dangdangdang!"

The bell sounded from the watchtower and traveled towards the city.

Yuan Chonghuan was sitting in the hall of the governor's yamen, warming up by the fire, when he suddenly heard the continuous ringing of bells.

"No, this bell is the bell of an enemy attack." Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly stood up and walked out.

Before he had taken two steps, a soldier rushed in, "My lord, build slaves to attack, build slaves to attack!"

"Let everyone go up to the city wall, and bring Wu Xiang to me!" Yuan Chonghuan frowned and said solemnly.

"Yes!"

After a cup of tea, Yuan Chonghuan boarded the city wall under the protection of his personal guards.

At this time, Wu Xiang also rushed over with his armor on.

"Wu Zongbing, do you estimate how many Jiannu there are down here?" Yuan Chonghuan pointed to the Jiannu who were building a tent below.

Jian Nu didn't seem to want to launch an attack immediately, but set up his tent about four miles away from the city wall.

Wu Xiang squinted her eyes and looked at Jiannu, only to see Jiannu's tents stretching for several miles, and there were many figures among them, "I'm afraid there are 3 people."

Wu Xiang looked at the Jiannu who were camping, and said solemnly.

"3 people? I'm afraid this is the main force for building slaves."

"Looking at the color of the armor, it seems to be Huang Taiji's two yellow flags, Mang Gurtai's Zhenglan flag, and Amin's Xianglan flag." Wu Xiang looked at Jiannu who was camping in the distance, with a sad face road.

Of course, these men and horses are not the two yellow flags, the blue flags, and the blue flags that are serious.

All the serious and eight classics were brought to Xifengkou by Huang Taiji, ready to break through and enter.

These people are just confuse fakes made up of the coated slaves in Shengjing City and some disabled veterans who have retired from the Eight Banners, and there are no more than 3 people.There are only 3000 people in support, but there are more tents.Most of the tents are still empty, with nothing inside.

Unless you walk in and look, otherwise, you can't find anything from the outside.

"The main force of building slaves, this is a big trouble, report it to the imperial court quickly." Yuan Chonghuan said worriedly looking at the building slave camps outside the city.

……

"Eight hundred miles, hurry up, and those who stop me will die. Eight hundred miles, hurry up, and those who stop me will die!"

A knight from Liaodong slammed the whip in his hand towards the horse under his crotch, passed through the city gate, and headed for the palace.

A few quarters of an hour later, a letter from Liaodong was urgently placed on Chongzhen's desk.

"Big Companion, do you think this military letter is true or not?" Chongzhen put down the eight hundred miles in his hand, and looked at Cao Huachun who was standing beside him.

Cao Huachun said: "It should be true, no matter how courageous this Yuan Chonghuan is, he would not dare to use eight hundred li to rush to fool the emperor.

The last time I took a team to Liaodong for a secret investigation, I didn't find anything wrong with Yuan Chonghuan.Moreover, Jiannu did send troops to Shanhaiguan that time, and Yuan Chonghuan did not lie.

Although what Yuan Chonghuan said was correct, Guan Ning's army could handle it at the level last time, and there was no need to mobilize troops from other places. "

"Hmph, I know exactly what Yuan Chonghuan has in mind. He just wants to learn from Li Chengliang and raise his self-respect!" Chongzhen snorted coldly, noncommittal.

"Let's hand over this letter to the cabinet, and let them come up with a charter."

Since the incident last time, Chongzhen was quite disappointed with Yuan Chonghuan.At the same time, he was skeptical of anything Yuan Chonghuan said.

Otherwise, according to Chongzhen's temperament, it is impossible for Chongzhen to throw this eight-hundred-mile urgent letter to the cabinet.

……

"Woooooo!"

A low-pitched horn sounded ten miles away from Xifeng's mouth.

In an instant, the tents that stretched for more than ten miles became noisy.Countless people rushed out of the camp and rushed forward.

An hour later, everyone gathered in an open space directly in front of the camp.

Huang Taiji was riding on a war horse. He was wearing a bright yellow visor, and his sharp eyes swept over these soldiers.

"Today, Ben Khan is going to lead you to do a big thing, that is to rush into Daming Pass, loot the capital of Daming, and attack the capital of Daming.

Ben Khan can promise you that if you take down the capital, you will not be able to seal the sword for ten days. "

Huang Taiji drew out the waist knife from his waist, pointed at the sky obliquely, and shouted sharply: "Kill, kill, kill!"

"Kill kill kill kill!"

All of a sudden, countless Eight Banners soldiers screamed.They waved the weapons in their hands, and their faces were full of madness.

This time, when Huang Taiji entered the customs, he stayed behind in the central army, and the forward led by Mang Gurtai had already set off first.

In addition to its own Zhenglan Banner, Manggurtai also had four Han Eight Banners.

For Huang Taiji, these Han Eight Banners could just be used to consume the strength of the Ming army.

In addition to his own two yellow banners, Huang Taiji also led the Bordered White Banner and the four Han Eight Banners.

As for the rear army, it is the Xianglan Banner led by A Min and the Zhengbai Banner led by Dole Gun.

Daishan led the rest of the troops to stay in Shengjing.

In this battle, Huang Taiji almost came out in full force, with a total of 20 troops, claiming [-].

"The army is attacking!" Huang Tai shouted loudly, then turned his horse's head and rushed towards the south.

"kill!"

All of a sudden, there was constant shouting and killing, except for the rear army, everyone roared and followed behind Huang Taiji, rushing towards the entrance of Xifeng mightily.

Amin's rear army packed up the tents, and they would follow after they finished packing up.

The sun was gradually setting to the west, and the defenders on the Great Wall at Xifengkou looked at the setting sun and squatted on the Great Wall boredly.

"Oh, I'm freezing to death. The weather is getting colder and sooner." A soldier who was over thirty years old with a dimpled face leaned against the female wall, stuffing his hands into his sleeves, unwilling to come out.

"Who says it's not, the weather is getting colder every year. The clothes on us can't resist for a long time. If it takes a few more days, I'm afraid we will be frozen to death. Somehow, this year the court Why haven't you paid for the cotton coat yet?" A younger man said helplessly.

"Hey, the cotton-padded clothes were allocated. I think it's better to forget about it if you count on the imperial court. The cotton-padded clothes allocated last year were all stuffed with reed flowers, and there was no cotton at all.

Even if the cotton-padded clothes are allocated this year, it will not be much better.I'm thinking now, when will the imperial court make up the military salary owed to us.The guy at home gave birth to a big fat boy for me last month, and I'm still waiting for money to support my son. "The man who was over [-] years old and full of ravines had a smile on his face, and when he thought of his fair and clean son, his heart felt hot.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, a strange sound came from a distance.

"What sound?" The man over thirty years old narrowed his eyes and listened carefully.

"Why do I feel like this is the sound of a large number of cavalry?"

"A large number of cavalry? Impossible, we at Xifengkou can't fight a battle all year round. Where did the cavalry come from?"

The man over thirty stood up blankly and looked into the distance.

"This is... Jiannu!!!" The man looked at the cavalrymen coming from a distance, his face full of disbelief.

"What Jiannu? I said, old Wang, our place is one hundred and eight thousand miles away from Liaodong. How could there be Jiannu?"

A young soldier stood up slowly, looking out with a puzzled expression.

I saw a large group of cavalry rushing towards this side at high speed, which looked as large as [-], and each of them was wearing cotton armor. The banner of the cavalry was the banner of Liaodong Jiannu.

"Hurry up, hurry up, light the beacon!"

The young man's face was full of disbelief, and he was trembling all over.

Such a large number of slave-building troops had never appeared at Xifengkou.For a moment, the soldiers guarding the city wall became tense.

This is Jiannu, this Jiannu is ten thousand times more vicious than the Tartars.

Mangurtai was dressed in cotton armor and rushed to the front of the team.

He looked at the city wall at Xifengkou with a cold smile on his face.

"Hehe, let's go all out today and break through the Xifeng Pass directly. When the time comes, the world will be so big, let me gallop!"

Mangurtai led the forward and stopped directly two miles away from the city wall of Xifengkou.

"Everyone dismount!"

Mang Gurtai stopped, jumped off his horse, and shouted to the guards beside him.

"Everyone dismount, Master Belle ordered, everyone dismounts."

With Mang Gurtai's orders, the personal guards ran non-stop in the army at high speed.

Mang Gurtai held a defense map of Xifengkou defenders in his hand. He looked at the defense map in his hand, and then at the city wall of Xifengkou.

"Give me an order to get Gu Shan'erzhen from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty to roll over to me."

Mang Gurtai put away the defense map and shouted to the guards beside him.

"twitter!"

The guard let out an angry roar and rushed towards the rear in a hurry.

Not long after, the four Gushan foreheads of the Han Eight Banners ran to Mang Gurtai's side.

"The slave has seen the master!"

Gu Shanezhen of the four Han Eight Banners bowed to Mang Gurtai with a flattering face.

Mang Gurtai said with disgust on his face: "Okay, you guys get up quickly."

"My servant thanked the master." The four Gu Shane really stood up from the ground, and stood respectfully beside Mang Gurtai, not even daring to lift their heads.

Mang Gurtai looked at them, and said in a deep voice: "Now I give you an order, you lead your own troops to break through the city wall of Xifengkou. Of course, I don't want you to die, this is Xifeng The defense map of the mouth."

Mang Gurtai took out the defense map and handed it to them.

Of course, the matter of siege must be handed over to these Han Eight Banners. After all, the siege battle is the battle with the most casualties.For Mang Gurtai, how could the lives of the Han people compare to the lives of the Jurchens?

"Now the deployment map is also handed over to you. If you can't attack and delay the time to enter the customs, then don't blame me." Mang Gurtai said with a frosty face.

"Master, don't worry, I have the defense plan in hand, if I still can't break through the Xifeng entrance, the slave will come to see me."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, go for me quickly. I don't want Huang Taiji to come, I haven't broken through the Xifeng Pass yet."

Mang Gurtai waved at them disgustedly like swat a fly.

"twitter!"

The four Gu Shan'er really took the defense map and quickly moved towards the rear.

A few quarters of an hour later, [-] Han and Eight Banners soldiers walked towards Xifengkou from the rear carrying various siege weapons.
