It was September 15th, the first year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty.

The Tucheng campus in Beijing is already a scene of chilling!

It has to be said that Zhu Chunchen, Zhao Zhilong, Zhu Guobi, Li Shouqi (Brother of Xiangcheng), Li Zunzu, Liu Kongzhao, Xu Yunzhen (Prince Dingguo) and other Wu Xun who retired from the country can still accomplish something if they really use their strength. Damn it, otherwise how could you have fooled me for so many years?

Although the Beijing camp has always had shortcomings such as vacancies, occupation, pretense, idleness, and guaranteed service, at least 89% of the 120,000 troops are empty, and the rest are "shangyong" who fled when they saw the enemy. But that time the emperor's family was holding a grand ceremony, and the capital camp could not all pull out a "strong force" of 89,000, and the golden drums, flags, armor, and weapons all looked like new ones. If the elite soldiers of Liao Town were brought over, If you compare it with them, it might be worse!

This is how you fool the emperor!

But this time we met an emperor who was not easy to fool, so of course the ministers in charge of the capital camp had to work extra hard to fool him.

After Zhu Chunchen received the advice from Liu Kongzhao, the "think tank", he discussed a "strategy to settle the accounts" with the six lieutenants of the Third Battalion of the Beijing Camp. Although "settling the accounts" was a bit dangerous, it had to be done. Otherwise, after the little emperor completes the rectification of the four towns of Xuan, Chang, Bao and Ji, they, the nobles of Beijing who have been short-changed for generations, will have to confiscate their homes.

In order to preserve their ancestral wealth, these nobles also spent all their efforts and even spent a lot of money, offering a "sky-high price" of one penny a day to recruit heroes from the capital. Every family and government pretended to be paid as servants and slaves. They were all forced out, and together with the "one-cent silver" warriors and the veteran Youzi who had been messing around in the Beijing camp for a long time, all wearing armor and armed with weapons, they set up at the earthen wall left over from the Yuan Dynasty (originally a wall five or six miles north of Beijing). The city wall of the capital city of the Yuan Dynasty was about three to four feet high and about ten miles long. There was a moat outside the wall. There were people standing neatly in a school field. There were always about 100,000 people!

The military formation of the Beijing Camp has always been very intimidating. It is neat and thick and far superior to the nine-sided force. It stands in the wilderness with countless spears stretching out like a forest. When the autumn sunshine shines, it is as dazzling as a steel jungle. The common people inside and outside the capital were also attracted by the momentum of the swearing-in, and watched from a distance. The pits and valleys were filled with people. Of course, the common people at the feet of the emperor knew the details of the capital camp, and now they saw them If they really wanted to send troops to fight against the prisoners, everyone was so shocked that they opened their mouths and were speechless.

Fan Wencheng, who once again put on his monk's robe, was also among the crowd watching the excitement. He was once again sent out by Huang Taiji to collect intelligence.

Huang Taiji's army is now stationed on the banks of the Huai River in the north of Shunyi City. Although they did not dare to attack the impregnable Shunyi Fortress, they still destroyed the estates of many wealthy families - Shunyi is located on the outskirts of Beijing and adjacent to the remaining mountains of Yanshan. The scenery of the mountains and forests is excellent, so many wealthy families in Gyeonggi built villas and estates near Shunyi City. Now most of them were destroyed by the Later Jin Army, which to some extent allowed the Later Jin Army to obtain some property.

In addition, it is now the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and the wheat in the fields around Beijing is ready to be harvested. Therefore, in addition to looking for wealthy manors to attack, the Hou Jin army has been busy harvesting wheat these days. They have harvested almost 100,000 shi, which is enough The army ate for two months.

But compared with the psychological expectations of Huang Taiji and a group of Eight Banners dignitaries, this harvest is really far behind.

Although there are many valuable items in the mansions of the wealthy families in Gyeonggi, such as exquisitely made furniture and exquisite materials, such as the strange stones from Taihu Lake transported thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River... But for Da Jinbing, these things are nothing.

It’s unrealistic! Just grab some rocks and wood when you go to the entrance? These things are everywhere outside the entrance, do you need to go all the way to grab them?

Entering the pass is a big battle. There are thirty thousand Eight Banners soldiers and servants in the battle this time. The food and food expenses along the way are huge! If you can't grab enough goods and slaves, you will lose money.

...and even lost a lot!

Of course Huang Taiji was unwilling to return at a loss, but he was also worried about being surrounded and beaten by the main force of the Ming army.

Of course, he was not worried about being beaten to death by the Ming army. The Eight Banners soldiers were clearly capable of fighting in the field. When the elite soldiers of Liao Town encountered a larger number of Eight Banners soldiers, they could only repel the Eight Banners soldiers in the city battle.

But Huang Taiji is afraid of losing money!

If he was really besieged by 200,000 to 300,000 Ming troops, even if he could win, he would still suffer heavy casualties... If thousands of Eight Banners disciples died without gaining anything, life in the Kingdom of Jin would be even more difficult in the future.

.

Therefore, Huang Taiji, who was in a dilemma, sent a large number of detailed operations to Beijing, Changping, Pinggu, Miyun and other places, hoping to find out the opponent's true and false situation, so as to find an easy target, and at the same time ensure that he would not be besieged by the Ming army.

.

Fan Wencheng, who had been to Beijing, of course went to Beijing to inquire about it by familiar means. Because the gates of Beijing were strictly guarded, he could not enter the city, so he had to wander outside the city. Today he happened to catch up with the Ming army to take the oath of battle in Beijing.

Troops were sent out.

Of course he had to come and watch, and when he saw it, he took a breath!

These are elite soldiers!

The formation was neat, the armor was excellent, and the morale was high... Moreover, Fan Wencheng also discovered that the Ming army's Beijing camp assembled in the Tucheng school field was not equipped with many firearms (most of the firearms were left to defend the city), and the long spears were extremely

many!

Having more spears means daring to fight hand-to-hand. Moreover, these Ming Dynasty soldiers were well-organized and must be good at defeating cavalry. During the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty, the biggest loss suffered by the Later Jin Dynasty army in field battles was in the bloody battle of Hunhe River.

It was caused by Sichuan white-armed soldiers who were good at using spears.

If Li Yongfang hadn't persuaded the captured Ming gunners to surrender in time and brought in some general artillery, the outcome of the bloody battle at Hunhe River would not have been certain!

Now the Ming army's Huben troops in Beijing have so many spears, but the Hou Jin soldiers at the entrance have no artillery...

Cold sweat broke out on Fan Wencheng's bald head!

Just when Fan Wencheng was on tenterhooks, a cheer suddenly broke out from deep in the military formation: "Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

The cheers immediately filled the sky and covered the earth. Hundreds of thousands of tigers and warriors all raised their weapons and shouted hoarsely: "Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories... I swear to kill the slave thieves! Flatten Liaodong.

!”

How terrible!

Fan Wencheng was already frightened!

He no longer dared to watch the Ming army's battle formation from afar, but tried his best to squeeze out the crowd of onlookers, went out through a breach in the earth wall, and trotted all the way to Shunyi.

Something bad is happening! It turns out that the Ming Army's Beijing Camp is not a waste...

When Fan Wencheng ran away, Wang Zaijin was giving instructions to Zhu Chunchen, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, and Zhang Fengyi, the right minister of the Ministry of War, who was assisting in the military affairs of the Beijing camp.

To be honest, Wang Zaijin was also shocked by the majestic military power of the Beijing camp's fake account soldiers. If he didn't know the details of the Beijing camp, he would have thought that these fake account soldiers were really elite!

But after all, it can’t be true. The soldiers of the Beijing camp can still show their formations because they have to deal with various ceremonies. Moreover, their iron armor and cloth armor both look very beautiful. They can fool even the experts, not to mention laymen.

.But when they really go to the battlefield and face the enemies that are coming like a tidal wave, the false soldiers will be exposed for their true colors.

In fact, there is no need to go to the battlefield. Once you get out of the earthen wall, you have to flee...

Wang Zaijin sighed and ordered in a low voice: "Gong Chengguo, Boqi, we know for ourselves what the 100,000 capital camp here is like. So after leaving the wall, we must be cautious... The earth wall reaches the north of Shunyi City.

The slave camp is sixty or seventy miles away. If the three armies move in a hurry, they can reach it in a day and a night. You can't go too fast. Walking six or seven miles in a day is enough. You have to work step by step and set up camp after walking six or seven miles.

The stronghold must be firmly fortified, because what the slave thieves fear the most is that we fight with the city and the stronghold! I have already given an order to Yuan Yuan Yuan to set up camp every step of the way after he leaves Pinggu. We have an army of 100,000 from both sides.

Impossible, at least half of them could slip away, so Wang Zaijin only counted the soldiers from the Beijing camp (50,000), came to a fort to advance, and approached Shunyi bit by bit. Without giving the slave thieves any chance, they would be able to be forced away.

As long as we force them away, we will be considered a complete victory. Because the slave thieves gained very little from this entrance, which is not enough to cover their expenses, it is considered a loss... If you lose once, there will be no second time.
Chapter completed!
