In the official road of Datong, there was smoke and dust rolling, and the smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun, just like a sandstorm swept over! Below the smoke and dust, an extremely large army was rapidly advancing eastward, with a head and tail connected for nearly twenty miles! Nearly half of it was a horse army. [】uu And when you get close, you can clear it. This was actually a Qing army. Because they were all braided soldiers.

Even the most elite soldiers in the Qing Dynasty, the white-armored soldiers, came in full bloom. The leader was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji was burning his boats this time. This time he led 90,000 elite soldiers from the Eight Banners and 100,000 auxiliary soldiers, and went straight to the capital. It was already November. If it was still as warm as spring in the later generations due to the greenhouse effect, it was only in the Little Ice Age three hundred years ago.

But it is already close to freezing point.

The cold winter began so early, and the forage needed for cattle and sheep to spend the winter was not ready. Huang Taiji knew that this was another difficult winter. If nothing unexpected happened, when the flowers bloomed next spring, only 30% of the livestock in the tribe would be left.

As nomadic peoples, they would have lost cattle and sheep, and the entire tribe would have severely damaged their vitality. The second reason is that it is a great time to attack the capital at this time, because the fateful opponent town is not in the capital. In the distant Taiyuan, Shanxi, Huang Taiji had carefully calculated that he had fought from Datong to the capital for about 300 miles, and the town was in the distant Taiyuan, Shanxi, and the distance was twice that of his. And the most important thing is that Huang Taiji had learned a top-secret information from the senior generals inside the town, which was the big truck he was most afraid of, and he could travel thousands of miles a day, and now he had no "food" and was lying down. Therefore, Huang Taiji did not have to worry that the footboard of the town could pass his fast horse, even the iron footboard could not do it. Huang Taiji seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and resolutely headed south.

As long as the capital is captured, not only will the capital be fully occupied, but it will be able to take over the original. He also gained the initiative in politics, and he will either use the emperor to command the princes or kill the emperor, causing chaos in the world. He will compete with his strength to rule the river... it is all within his thoughts.

Moreover, Huang Taiji was very clear about the situation in the capital. If the capital was not there, the capital of Ming Dynasty was like a child with a treasure, which could be taken away at will. Thinking of his compliment, Huang Taiji couldn't help but think of the second battle to enter the pass, which could be regarded as a great achievement!

The first time was in May of the first year of Chongde, that is, the ninth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty. He sent Ajige and others to lead troops to fight. On September 27, he divided the road into the border and met in Yanqing Prefecture. This was the first entrance battle. On September 8, Ajige won the victory. His army entered the Great Wall, passed Baoding, and went to Anzhou, conquered twelve cities. All 59 battles were won, which can be said to be invincible. Almost all Ming troops in the Ming Dynasty saw the flags of the Eight Banners Warriors fled in a glance!

Even a few people who have one or two bloody people dare to resist are no match for the Eight Banners Warriors at all, and the final result is just a mantis arm to kill a chariot! It is just a futile addition of a lot of money to the Eight Banners Warriors!

After the final end of this battle, the battle was even more brilliant. The captive of 179,820 people and animals was captured, and the general Chao Pichang was captured alive. Zhang Fengyi, the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty, and Liang Tingdong, the Governor, was equipped with troops but did not dare to attack, but he could not retreat. The warriors of the Eight Banners were able to return with full weight.

The battle reached the goal of raising the war with war, weakened the opponent and strengthened himself. And the most important point of this battle was to allow Huang Taiji to completely clear the true face of the Ming Kingdom. He had only a territory of thousands of miles, but he was just a powerful giant! It was a pity that his ancestors had been ruled by the Ming Kingdom for hundreds of years!

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, in August and September of the third year of Chongde, the Qing Dynasty launched the second entrance battle and sent Dorgon as the general ordered and Yue as the general Yangwu, and divided the left and right wings to attack the Ming Dynasty. Compared with the first entrance battle, the results were even more brilliant!

The two wings met in Hexi, Tongzhou, passed Yanjing from the north, and went south from Zhuozhou in eight roads. The nine palaces within a thousand miles west of the capital were ravaged and returned to the boundary of Shanxi. They crossed the canal and defeated the enemy. They captured more than 250,000 people. Du Du reported that his army had gone from Yanjing west to Shanxi and to Shandong south, defeated the enemy and captured more than 204,000 people. Both wings returned from Qian'an, left Qingshan Pass, and returned triumphantly in April.

Such a result made Huang Taiji deeply believe that in front of the powerful Eight Banners warriors, the Ming army had only the ability to resist and fight back! In the second entrance battle, the Ming capital had three major camps in charge, but they only dared to defend the city and did not go out, and did not dare to fight in the field.

Even if there are a large number of people, what's the use? The three battalions have a total of 100,000 soldiers, of course, except for the town now!

Thinking of the past, Huang Taiji couldn't help but feel full of enthusiasm, and at the same time he was full of confidence in this battle of entry. The reason why he attacked the whole country this time was that he had made up his mind. It was only three things. This third time was an ending battle! Let the three hundred years of glory of the Ming Dynasty end with my subordinates! I want to end this old empire with my own hands! I want to destroy this old empire with my own hands!

Didn’t the Ming people claim to be the inheritance of poetry, benevolence, righteousness, morality, and gentlemanly? Didn’t the Ming ancient country that boasts a thousand years of heritage? And our Qing Dynasty has only risen for a few decades since its establishment. In the eyes of those Han people, we are just a group of uncivilized savages, who only know how to burn and bury scholars and slash and fire! Now I want to make these Han people, whether you have the strong thousand years of heritage, or are we the savages, the iron hoofs of our Eight Banners Warriors powerful!

Of course, the most important reason is that Huang Taiji has clearly realized that the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was in the period of increase. Although the speed was not fast, he was clearly recovering slowly and prospering. Huang Taiji knew very well that the Eight Banners Erlang was indeed good at fighting, but the number of people was too small. The total population of the Qing Dynasty was less than one percent of that of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty was weak, but if we waited for the Ming Dynasty to be strong, there would be no room for the Qing Dynasty to survive at that time! Therefore, such a battle of national destiny is inevitable!

Of course, the Ming Kingdom is no longer as good as before, and it is not easy to come in and plunder. This time, Huang Taiji was able to successfully enter Datong from Datong because he paid a great price. He sent Dorgon to lead 10,000 troops to Shanhaiguan to restrain him. He attracted the main force of the Guanning Army, and then Huang Taiji took the opportunity to destroy the wall from outside Datong!

However, when Huang Taiji was fantasizing, he was suddenly interrupted by an urgent report: "Report that the Ming general Li Ding's troops are stubborn. Since our army set off, they have been following and harassing behind them. Although they have escaped several times, they have followed and followed several times. Now they are engaged in battle with our army's rear army. I would like to ask my emperor to give in." Oboi said loudly outside the carriage.

As a national invasion, Oboi was naturally unscrupulous. However, the image of Oboi now is very different from that of Oboi a year ago. In the past, Oboi participated in the Second Entrance Battle. At that time, he was arrogant and arrogant.

In his eyes, all the generals of Ming Kingdom were not as good as his fingers. Even those famous generals were only worthy of licking his feet! However, since he was chased by Zhang Linqi like a dog with only a fraction of the tens of thousands of troops left, he still relied on the news from Tangshan Shao to escape back to the Heishan Baishui in a very embarrassing manner, and he became taciturn.

This made him unable to raise his head not only within the clan, but also outside the clan. You should know that his head was crowned the No. 1 Warrior of the Eight Banners! Now he was beaten like a dog by a Han man. How could he feel?

Oboi vowed that defeat because of his life-long humiliation, and he must take revenge, cut off his enemy Zhang Linqi's head with his own hands, hang his head outside his camp and show it to the public. He has to stay forty-nine days before he can vent his hatred!

Hearing Oboi's words, Huang Taiji frowned slightly. He knew Li Dingguo's strategic intentions very well. He was like a hungry wolf on the grassland. Since he could not swallow his prey in one bite, he would follow him and wait until the prey was exhausted.

Now, the entire army of hundreds of thousands is something that Li Dingguo Lun cannot swallow. Now he is just delaying the advancement speed of the Eight Banners Warriors as much as possible to create conditions for the town to rush back. However, although Huang Taiji has understood the opponent's intentions, he is helpless to him.

I want to eat the other party in one breath, not only will the time be delayed, but the other party is full of horse soldiers, as slippery as a loach. I don’t fight you, I just stubbornly entangled with you. But I ignore him, and he will apply it like a dog-skin plaster. It’s really troublesome.

Huang Taiji thought for a long time but had no good idea. He could only say: "The moss in the body is important. Order the rear army without having to get involved with it. After hitting it for a while, you can rush back and join our team."

"Yes" Obai took the order and went there.

……………………………………………………………

At this time, the young master of Tangshan was not idle. Since he had contacted Li Zicheng and provided substantial help, he witnessed Li Zicheng's troops growing rapidly, the young master of Tangshan began his next move. He began to lurk on the pre-scheduled route of Huang Taiji's army and began to work. Which road is suitable for passing the army and where is not suitable for marching, the young master of Tangshan was investigated carefully. It has to be said that hatred made Tangshan Shao turn into a loyal dog and is working hard now. It is precisely because of his outstanding work that Huang Taiji's army seemed to have eyes, walking in a foreign land, but he was familiar with the road and did not go any wrong.

…………………………………

Li Dingguo was worried at this moment. Even though he led his army to launch guerrilla warfare in the territory of the Tartars before, there were enemies everywhere, he had never been so worried. Because he knew that the situation this time was very bad, and it could even be said to be extremely bad!

Because Huang Taiji chose the timing very well. First, it was early winter and the army and horses were already fattened, which was the time to be good at long-distance raids.

Second, the town was out of the battle, and the capital was empty.

Moreover, Li Dingguo also suspected that there were spies in the town and there were generals of a high level. Otherwise, the time for Huang Taiji to be dispatched would not have been so accurate. It was like a negotiation. Although Li Dingguo had pointed this to Zhang Linqi in the Legend of Feige, he was just suspicious and could not be sure who it was!

Since Huang Taiji launched a large-scale attack this time, will the cancer in the town have any next steps? What harm will it cause to the town? Li Dingguo is very clear that as the Tatars gradually adapt to the new bird guns and the huge difference in the military strength between the two sides, and the Tatars are determined to abide by the one side, one side is fully prepared, while the other side is hastily responded. The outcome of the war is only between two pairs. Now that there are spies inside the town, there will be unknown possibilities for the tilt of the battle situation.
