Daming wolf ride

Updated: 2012-10-13

Entering July, it is the hottest time of the summer, first in Xiaofu, then in Dafu, the weather is really too hot.

Although I heard from the elders that today's day is not too hot, compared with that of Wanli Lord, this day is very cold.But it is the hottest season of the year, and there is no rain in January, so this day is really unbearably hot.

The construction of Daling River City is nearing completion, except for a gap in the North City that has not yet been completed, the rest of the projects have been completed.

I don't know if Zu Dashou also felt that it was wrong for the three banners of the Houjin Army to appear in Daling River at the same time, or he was eager to ask Sun Chengzong for credit. After entering Xiaofu, he ignored the heat and urged the peasants to build the North City day and night, so that he died of exhaustion More than a dozen civilian husbands were recruited. [

Several batches of fast horses from the Northern Exploration were also sent out, some towards Uiju and some towards Guangning, but there was no news from them.The day before yesterday, a fast horse from the direction of the old Liaohe came to report, saying that after the discovery of the old Liaohe, the Jin army gathered. , It seems that all the Eight Banners have come.

The old Liaohe River is two hundred miles away from the Daling River, but it is very close to the Harashen tribe of Mongolia. If the Harashen tribe were detoured, the later Jin army would have to enter the invaders from the west of Liaoxi. Longjingguan, Malanyu, etc., entered the mainland again as they did two years ago.

Zu Dashou's memory of the "Jisi Change" two years ago is still fresh. His boss, Yuan Chonghuan, was murdered alive on the charge of "collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country". Zu Dashou's eyelids twitched, and in panic, he quickly sent someone to report the appearance of the Houjin army in Jiu Liaohe to Sun Chengzong, the manager.

Lieutenant General He Kegang reminded Zu Dashou that there were seven or eight expeditions to the north, but only two hundred miles away from the old Liaohe River, there was no news from Yizhou, and there were no visits from Guangning. , things are a little strange.From the appearance, it seems that Jiannu deliberately let the old Liaohe road explore the horses to return.

Lieutenant General Zhang Cunren also said: "The weather is hot now, Jiannu is not resistant to heat, and the usual large-scale deployment of troops is in autumn and winter. Why is it suddenly mobilizing troops to Jiuliaohe at this time? Will Jiannu really rush to the pass? It is not clear now. I can't be sure, but Zu Shuai wants to report the strategy, which seems a bit inappropriate."

But Zu Dashou waved his hand and said: "The so-called heat intolerance is false, and it is easy to overcome. Besides, the slave chief Hong Tai has always used his troops to use tricks and tricks, which cannot be treated with common sense. Two years ago, he led his troops thousands of miles to attack the capital. He plundered a lot and suffered a lot. Sweetness, this old plan is not yet decided. It is always appropriate to report the strategy. If Hong Taizhen enters the customs again, the court should take precautions early. If it is not reported, Jiannu will enter the customs again, and I will not report it when I know it , it is hard to escape the blame."

Hearing this, He Kegang, Zhang Cunren and other generals also felt reasonable, no matter whether Jiannu really wanted to enter the customs or not, it is always good to report to the court so that the court can take precautions, it is much better than being caught off guard again by Jiannu.

When the news of the main force of the old Liaohe cash army reached Sun Chengzong, he was also quite surprised, and hastily ordered the guards of the Great Wall in Yanbei, Xuanzhou, and Datong to take strict precautions to prevent the Jin soldiers from coming again.At the same time, it was played to the imperial court, which caused a shock in the capital. Some high-ranking officials and nobles even made preparations to go south to avoid disaster, and fled south with their families when Jiannu really broke the Great Wall.

For a while, people in the capital panicked. The "Songshan Great Victory" that came from Liaodong a few days ago was suppressed by the cabinet, and not many people knew about it. Compared with the tens of thousands of slave-building troops, it is really not worth mentioning.

Even Emperor Chongzhen, who was in the palace, became very nervous. In addition to ordering Liaodong to find out the movement of slaves, he also drew some soldiers and horses from various places to enrich the Great Wall pass to prevent the Great Wall from being breached again.In addition, he also sent a decree to Sun Chengzong, asking him to draw some elite frontier soldiers from the closed-door army as a reserve team. Once Jiannu breaks through the pass, he will intercept them quickly, and must not let Jiannu drive straight into the Yiwei capital.

Jinzhou.

In order for the wolf cavalry army to form an army as soon as possible, Shi Dayong racked his brains and tried every means. Qiu Hejia asked him to transport grain and grass to Dalinghe City, but he used various excuses to drop it. If he couldn't drop it, he delayed.In short, Shi Dayong is now unwilling to go to Dalinghe City even if he dies.He didn't dare to take the risk of meeting the main force of the Eight Banners or being trapped in Dalinghe City, because that would be another chance for Shi Dayong to make a comeback—how can a dead person change history.

Shi Dayong was not so arrogant that he thought that with his own head, he could lead hundreds of remnants to stage a battle against tens of thousands of Eight Banners troops.

People must have self-knowledge.Fear, sometimes is not cowardice, but a strategy, a choice, so as not to be afraid in the future.

Fortunately, the military rations in Dalinghe City can last for half a month. Shi Dayong organized a military escort after a few days, but Qiu Hejia didn't force him to go now.After all, after the battle of Dalinghe, the Shi Department lost more than half of its troops and had to replenish its troops. Although it was promoted to a general, the troops under his command might not even be as good as the defense.

Rumors about the truth of the Dalinghe battle had spread, and Qiu Hejia had heard some of it. Seeing Zu Dashou's death, he couldn't help feeling bitter in his heart. He wanted to play him a book, but after the incident, Zu Dashou sent five hundred cavalry For Shi Dayong's sake, and because he and Zu Dashou had jointly published a good report, it was not good for him to slap him, so he also acquiesced in this matter.

Qiu Hejia once asked Shi Dayong why he hid the truth from him, Shi Dayong smiled wryly at that time, and replied: "If you don't agree, does Lord Futai think you will come back alive?"

Hearing this, Qiu Hejia sighed and couldn't say anything. [

…………

Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong, the two members, Mr. Qian, heard that Shi Dayong wanted to dismantle the chain mail of their subordinates to make some kind of heavy armor. At first, they all disagreed, but after Shi Dayong made a good point, the second general had no choice but to agree. Rejection, which greatly increased Shi Dayong's affection for the two of them.

Lao Qin's chain armor was now detachable, and the speed of armor production was indeed much faster. By July, a hundred armors had been produced one after another.

Cao Bianjiao selected [-] cavalry from the cavalry battalion and Xia Li's two thousand Liaodong soldiers as the wolf cavalry army. While waiting for Jiayi, he devoted himself to the training of the wolf cavalry army.

In fact, it is not difficult to train heavy armor to charge the battle. The difficulty is how to keep the troops in line.Jin Guo's Tiefutu formed a team of three cavalry, but Cao Bianjiao changed to a team of six cavalry. This coordination is naturally much more difficult.

Shi Dayong chose a flat terrain in the southwest of Jinzhou as the training ground for the wolf cavalry army, but when he was free, he went out of the city to watch Xiao Cao's training.
