Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 66 Cloud Movement (1)

"Swish..."

On the walls of Jizhou City, there are rotating officers and soldiers of the Ming army. They hold shields and red-tasseled spears, and stand indifferently. walking around.

"Master, you said that Zhou Yuji and the others won't encounter any harassing Jian captives when they arrive at Shimen Town, right?" Man Gui stood with a knife in his hand, slapped the female wall with one hand, frowned and looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice.

"I don't know why, the general was a little restless last night. I always feel that something is not right. Could it be..."

"There is no such possibility!"

Sun Chengzong stretched out his hand and interrupted: "The main forces of the Jian captives who are coming to commit crimes are mostly concentrated in Zunhua City, and they want to take this city and use it as an important place to harass our Daming Pass.

Even if the Jianlu partial division entrenched in Da'ankou wants to send troops to attack Shimen Town, they dare not send too many troops. You have stayed in Liaodong for such a long time, so you don't know how strict Jianlu's military regulations are. .

Before Zunhua City was breached, Huang Taiji would definitely not expand the battlefield, which would not do them any good! "

After listening to what Sun Chengzong said, Man Gui's uneasy mood was a little more stable. After all, the Yongwei Battalion led by Zhou Yuji was created by the emperor.

If he had just rushed from Shenjing to Shimen Town, he was attacked and severely injured by the Jian captives, and if the emperor knew about it, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Master, how many more days do you think Zunhua City can last?"

Man Gui frowned, looked at Sun Chengzong and said: "Although there is governor Wang Yuanya sitting in Zunhua, the Jianlu who invaded this time is powerful, and Zunhua..."

Speaking of this, Man Gui really couldn't go on.

As far as he knew the current situation, Man Gui couldn't figure out why the emperor indulged Jianlu and surrounded Zunhua City, but ordered soldiers and horses everywhere not to rush to help.

This clearly means abandoning Zunhua City!
If Zunhua City was attacked by Jianlu, Santunying must be the next to be breached.

"Man Gui, don't think about things you shouldn't worry about."

Sun Chengzong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The Jiankui invaded our Daming, which caused turmoil in the capital, and people in Shenjing were even more panicked.

Under such a situation, the Son of Heaven calmly laid out the layout in Shenjing, with Zunhua City and Santunying as the core, and set up east and west defenses respectively.

Some things cannot be said clearly, as long as you are clear in your heart, does the emperor want to face such a situation? ! "

He was ordered to come to Jizhou to sit in the township, and to take charge of the temporary defense of the three guards. After these few days of intense deployment, Sun Chengzong truly understood the situation that Emperor Chongzhen was in.

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were completely blinded by the five-year plan to pacify the Liao Dynasty proposed by Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong. Even in the land of Jimi Yong Sanxie, most of the soldiers and horses stationed in the forts, important towns, and cities were not full. edit status.

The reduction of the defense of the Jimiyong Sanxie did reduce the military expenditure of the court, but correspondingly, Yuan Chonghuan was sent to the front line of Liaodong for various reasons.

"Ugh……"

Sun Chengzong, who felt sluggish in his heart, couldn't help but sigh softly, while Man Gui beside him stretched out his hand in shock, and said, "Master, something has happened!! That seems to be the cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion!"

"..."

Man Gui shouted and looked in the direction he was pointing at. Sun Chengzong suppressed his horror and fixed his eyes, only to see more than two hundred cavalry galloping towards Jizhou City.

"Quick! Follow the old man out of the city!"

Sun Chengzong forced himself to calm down, turned around and walked quickly towards the city. He passed by the Yongwei Camp in Jizhou. He left yesterday for Shimen Town, but today he came back with more than 200 cavalry. Something must have happened.

"Da da da……"

The dense sound of horseshoes sounded, and the iron cavalry team of the Yongwei Battalion under Zheng Zhong's command galloped vigorously one by one, with heads hanging from the necks of the horses, and rushed towards Jizhou City.

"Master, it must be Jianlu's partial teacher who broke through Shimen Town." Man Gui, who accompanied Sun Chengzong out of the city, said with a frown.

"Should the last general lead his iron cavalry immediately to help Shimen Town? Even if the Yongwei Battalion suffers a disastrous defeat, Jianlu can't kill them all!"

"To shut up!!"

Sun Chengzong frowned and scolded: "Man Gui, if you dare to act like this again, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!!"

While speaking, the iron cavalry team of the Yongwei Battalion led by Zheng Zhong galloped to the foot of Jizhou city, and countless soldiers of the Ming army on the city wall leaned over to look at them.

"Yongwei Battalion, Iron Cavalry Team, Baihu Zheng Zhong, specially ordered by the commander of Yongwei Battalion to lead his troops to report victory!!" After seeing the team leaving the city, Zheng Zhong roared at the top of his throat.

"..."

Quiet.

At this moment, Sun Chengzong, Man Gui and his party looked at Zheng Zhong with different expressions, and looked at the group of cavalry behind him, feeling a burst of surprise in their hearts.

report a success? !
What a victory! ?
Could it be that the Yongwei camp led by Zhou Yuji really encountered the harassing Jian captives when they arrived in Shimen Town?

"Meet Elder Sun Ge!"

When Sun Chengzong and the others were all standing in the same place, stunned, Zheng Zhong got off his horse and handed the memorabilia to Sun Chengzong jointly written by Zhou Yuji and Fang Zhenghua.

"The last general Zheng Zhong, under the order of my family's head general, hereby submit a report of the victory, and ask Mr. Sun Ge to send someone to Shenjing as soon as possible!"

Really won?
Sun Chengzong suppressed the horror in his heart, received the memorial from Zheng Zhong, and said agitatedly: "How many Jian captives were killed? How many casualties did you have in the Yongwei camp?"

Zheng Zhong straightened his back, his tiger eyes were like torches, and said in a clear voice: "In the battle of Shimen Town, we bravely defended the battalion to face the invaders and killed 870 people!
Among them, there were 79 real Tartars and 57 armored men..."

Following Zheng Zhong's confident and resonant voice, it spread throughout the entire East City of Jizhou. Even Man Gui, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, completely changed after hearing such a record.

On the premise that 110 and seven of his own troops were killed in battle, being able to wipe out more than [-] invading Jianlu troops is a fucking victory!

"God bless Daming!!"

Sun Chengzong clenched his fists and said emotionally: "It's a good job for you to defend the battalion bravely, and you are worthy of the Shangzhi personal guard created by your majesty!
Come on, take over the head of Jianlu from the Yongwei camp immediately, and send the memorial of the great victory in Shimen Town to Shenjing in [-] Li urgently to the governor! ! "

No one knows better than Sun Chengzong that Shenjing at this moment needs such a big victory to inspire people's hearts, so that the situation between the government and the opposition will become less turbulent, so that the emperor can control the court more calmly. game over.

It's just that Sun Chengzong didn't know that at the same time, Emperor Chongzhen had commanded more than [-] people, a patchwork of Jingwei troops, and took away a group of hostages, marching in the direction of Sanhe.
