Chapter 341 Defending the Capital 11
"How far is the town away from us?" Huang Taiji suddenly asked. []
"Emperor Qibing, the town has reached a place only 140 miles away from us." The young master of Tangshan said. Zhang Linqi knew the speed of Huang Taiji's army's advancement, and Huang Taiji also knew that because Tangshan young master who came from the White Lotus Sect still had some skills.
He also created a story about Fei Ge, of course, which was to borrow the light of the White Lotus Sect. Through his confidants who were scattered on the road ahead of the town, they could grasp the dynamics of the town anytime and anywhere!
"One hundred and forty miles?" Huang Taiji nodded slightly: "It's worthy of being a town, the speed is not slow. It was a difference of 300 miles at the beginning, but now it's only one hundred and forty miles. Both legs are almost rushing to our Eight Banners Iron Cavalry! Such an opponent is really powerful!"
Listening to Huang Taiji's words, neither Aobai nor Tangshan Young Master dared to interfere, "But, hehe, you are coming quickly, that is, you die quickly, and are walking towards the grave step by step!"
After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he headed north again. Not far away, there was a steep mountain color standing. "The place five miles north of this place is Langya Mountain." Huang Taiji suddenly said.
"Yes," Oboi quickly replied this time. Aoboi doesn't understand the historical allusion of the Han people, but he still knows the place name. After all, in order to prepare for this surprise attack, Aoboi doesn't know how many maps he has drawn on the ground! He has already been familiar with it!
"Well, the town is only one hundred and forty miles behind us, although it is half shorter than it starts. However, according to the current distance, it is still impossible for the town to arrive in the capital before our Qing Dynasty warriors. But if they take a shortcut and cross Langya Mountain, they can save a big bend and walk a hundred miles less! It is only 40 miles away from us, so they have hope!"
Listening to Huang Taiji's words, Obai and Tangshan Shao were both serious, but they didn't care much. Both of them knew very well that if the town walked like that, they could indeed avoid many detours, but it was not easy to cross Langya Mountain.
Langya Mountain is high and densely forested, and it is at an altitude of one thousand meters. Not to mention whether the town planned this way, even if it really did, I am afraid that when they came down from Langya Mountain, they would be too tired to walk. What else would you say about rushing to the capital to help the capital unless they were made by Iron Man!
However, the two agreed with Huang Taiji's last sentence. If it was only a 40-mile difference, this blitzkrieg would be really lingering. After all, this is the territory of Ming Kingdom, and it is not familiar with the place, and it is often disturbed. Although the strength is much smaller than before, it is still annoying. Not to mention that Li Ding Kingdom's troops are still hanging behind, and their ghosts are still lingering. From time to time, they are causing trouble.
In this way, it is really hard to say who arrives in the capital first. If the Eight Banners Cavalry arrives first, then there is nothing to say. After dealing with the gang of young masters in the capital of Ming Dynasty, you just need to wait for the battle to hit you head-on. Wait for work, there is nothing that cannot be defeated!
If the town arrives first, it will be miserable. The capital with the strengthening of power will never be able to chew. On the other hand, the surprise attack cannot be achieved. Now that the Eight Banners Cavalry is entering the army alone, it has violated a taboo in military strategists. There is a risk of being severely attacked or even annihilated by the town. Therefore, everything is competing for the speed of the second army! Whoever arrives first will be invincible!
Seeing that Oboi and Tangshan Shao didn't say anything, Huang Taiji waved his hand very hard, and he obviously made a great decision: "I order 50,000 auxiliary soldiers to ambush the town and block the town from Langya Mountain. We must give the town the maximum amount of damage!"
Originally, there were 100,000 auxiliary soldiers, but after the battle with Li Dingguo, many casualties were already there, with a total of 20,000 people. There were still some roads to go to the capital, and auxiliary soldiers were also needed, so Huang Taiji took away 30,000, so there were still 50,000 left here.
Huang Taiji is gambling. Logically, it is okay for him to place these 50,000 auxiliary soldiers in Huairou or Tongzhou to block the town. After all, the function of these auxiliary soldiers is to block the town. However, if you put them here, you will have to take a lot of risk.
Anyone with a discerning eye can come out. If he guessed that the town did come down from Langya Mountain, it was a time when people were trapped. Huang Taiji was suspected to have hit the town's weakness! It was indeed the best time! And if Huang Taiji bet wrongly, the town would not go away Langya Mountain, then these 50,000 auxiliary soldiers would be ambushed in an ambush, and it would be a waste of water. Huang Taiji's biggest backhand would be lost! But Huang Taiji is such an adventurous person. Of course, this kind of adventure is also based on his deep understanding of his old opponent Zhang Linqi. He was anxious and Zhang Linqi was even more anxious! He was 90% sure that the town would definitely go to Langya Mountain, and he could escape. This is a road in Huashan!
"Emperor, no, our army has the advantage at the moment, why do you need to take risks!" Oboi and Tangshan Young Master both spoke at the same time. Although this move was wonderful, it was very risky. What if the town did not pass by here? Isn't that a waste? It would be better to place the army in Huairou or Tongzhou blocking towns, which is almost certain!
"No" Huang Taiji waved his hand, without any room for change: "I have decided, no need to say more!"
As an emperor, Huang Taiji considered the problem differently from Oboi and Tangshan Shao. As Zhang Linqi's old opponent, he knew more clearly Zhang Linqi's terror and also knew better that this surprise attack was actually a battle of national destiny between the two countries. The victory was the Qing Dynasty's entry into the original state, and the failure was the doomed, and the Manchus were exhausted and he could no longer look north! The Manchus could not step into the pass from now on! Even whether their own nest could be kept was between two people!
After a pause, Huang Taiji made an even more amazing decision: "I order to arrange the 500 musket team as the second blocking line half a mile of 50,000 auxiliary soldiers!"
"What" Obai and Tangshan Shao were even more shocked when they heard this. The Five Hundred Musket Team was used as a secret weapon. Think about it, at the critical moment of fighting, if the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, who was only good at strong bows and hard crossbows, suddenly had a full firearm unit, and it was the most advanced new bird gun, which would be comparable to the morale of the enemy! And it would be too risky to use it now!
However, Obai and Tangshan Young Master did not speak out for dissuasion, because as long as they reached Huang Taiji's severe face and tightly pursed lips, they knew that Huang Taiji had made up his mind and could not even pull him back! Not to mention that Huang Taiji was the leader of a country and had always been very independent. And on the other hand, since dissuasion could not be achieved, another kind of hope arose in their hearts.
After all, the town is very likely to walk on the road of Huashan. As long as they come and deploy with such powerful troops, the foot of Langya Mountain is the burial place of the town, and at least they will be injured. Even if they finally arrive in the capital, they will become a tired army, with wounded soldiers all over the camp, and they can do their best.
"Yes," Obai and Tangshan Shao replied in unison, then turned to set up the arrangement. Since that's the case, let's give the town a fierce moment! Fortunately, they didn't know the allusion of the Five Heroes of Langya Mountain in later generations, otherwise they would have to be full of energy!
Not to mention, Oboi and Tangshan Junior matched well. Oboi was responsible for dispatching troops and Tangshan Junior was responsible for exploring the terrain. After all, so many of his confidants in the White Lotus Sect had already clearly explored the terrain near Langya Mountain. Now it is very convenient to use, and it is clear that it is already clear.
The Eight Banners Iron Cavalry is worthy of being a powerful army of several times in this era. Soon, 50,000 auxiliary soldiers and 500 musket teams were ambushed. As the first line of defense, 50,000 auxiliary soldiers were pulled apart by half a mile. As the second line of defense, teams of Eight Banners Iron Cavalry were ambushing towards their designated locations. Obai and Tangshan Shao believed that with such a powerful lineup, even if they were under the throne, they would beat him down!
……………………………
Aobai and Tangshan Shao are busy on the downhill road of Langya Mountain. So where is the target town they have planned? Huang Taiji judged that the town would take this road, so, will the town take this road? Unfortunately, the town did take this road.
As the coaches of both sides, Zhang Linqi and Huang Taiji are like two opponents they have never met, but they have been fighting wits and courage from the beginning. In this game, Huang Taiji took the lead because he had to keep the capital, which was the weakness of the town.
Therefore, Zhang Linqi could only bite the bullet and Langya Mountain. In fact, Zhang Linqi had other choices, but there was no way. If he wanted to take the Taiping Road, it would be obvious that even if he was a scythe, he would not be able to fly to the capital with his ribs.
When they arrived at the capital, the king's flag had changed from the top of the city! So, Zhang Linqi could only walk the ordinary road, Langya Mountain! Aobai and Tangshan Young Master were busy on this side of Langya Mountain, and the town had already reached the other side of Langya Mountain.
Because climbing a mountain is a physical job, Zhang Linqi ordered the entire army to rest for a stick of incense, eat dry food, and then cross Langya Mountain in one go.
"Crack" Zhang Linqi eliminated his food rations in just a few seconds. As the general of the state, he usually eats no problem. Even in the army, he has at least four dishes and one soup. However, at this time, he ate the same food as ordinary soldiers. He cut the food rations by half, and it was a two-two-tall cake. Anyway, if you don't have enough, you drink more water. Others don't know that Zhang Linqi was a blind man eating wontons. He knew that when he walked, he was rippling in his stomach!
At this time, Liu Dabangchui was also eating big cakes in big mouthfuls. Zhang Linqi glanced at Liu Dabangchui's size, and with the pitiful dry food in his hand, sighed softly, and asked, "Dabangchui, are you full? If not enough, I can't do it."
If Liu Dabangchui wanted to eat, Zhang Linqi would prepare to stop eating the next meal and give it to Liu Dabangchui. Although the military's rations are now strictly controlled by a dedicated person, as the general of the country, he still has this power.
"Enough, enough, enough," Liu Dabangcui said repeatedly. Seeing Zhang Linqi coming, he stuffed the big cake into his mouth, and then wanted to burp, indicating that he was full. But he never thought that although he was very skilled in martial arts, he did not practice his kung fu until his stomach. His stomach was still a system!
