Chapter Forty-Eighth: Yue Shuai Sends Troops
Chapter 48: Yue Shuai sent troops
"How could this happen? This...what should I do...Qing family, look...what do you think you should do this..."
Yue Su Yu saw the driver in the study and presented the urgent document to Zhang Yan for a look. After Zhang Yan read it, she was so scared that she lost her book^王机^e^王
Not to mention that Zhang Yan was a little panicked, in fact, after Yue Su had read the expedited document, he was also a little panicked. But he was a man, a minister of orphans, the chief minister of the dynasty, and Optimus Prime in the court. Now Zhang Yan has no idea. If he also showed panic, he would not have to kill the orphan and widowed mother.
At that moment, Yue Su took out a calm and said, "Emperor, Empress Dowager, don't panic. Even if the Tartars enter the pass, it's nothing. With the ministers here, they will never let the Tartars step into the capital. Not only that, if he leaves quickly now, he can still escape unstoppably. If he doesn't know the good, I will definitely tell him that he can't come and go."
"My dear, you are really sure..." Yue Su has become Zhang Yan's backbone. Yue Su can say this, Zhang Yan's eyes lit up, and Zhang Yan's heart has also let go of a lot.
"I am definitely sure." Yue Su said affirmatively.
"That's good. If you have the Qing family, the Ai family will be relieved. In fact, as long as you can protect the capital, it's better than anything else..." Zhang Yan knew how powerful the Tartars were. Last time the Tartars entered the pass, they were invincible. She walked around several times outside the bejng city, and the soldiers in the court dared to fight. So, for her, it would be enough to be able to protect the capital.
"I not only want to protect the capital, but also protect the billions of people of the Ming Dynasty. The Tartars enter our country and mountains. If they are afraid of burning, killing and looting, what are the faces of the emperor and the late emperor? I will also be sorry to the people of the Ming Dynasty. Not only that, if my Ming Dynasty does not teach the Tartars a lesson, the Tartars really think that my Ming Dynasty will only rely on the Great Wall to defend and will not attack. They will even become more and more serious, and it will not be good to do anything else.
So, I intend to ask for an order to command the army and go to fight the Tartars to the death." Yue Su said firmly. What he said makes sense, and now he can take the initiative in commanding the troops to fight the Tartars. If he is forced to fight the Tartars in a decisive battle, he may be behind. At present, there is no food and resources within the Tartars, and it is absolutely impossible to leave easily this time. As Yue Su said, it is difficult to say anything he would do.
"My dear, the Ai family has always heard that the Taurus cavalry is very powerful in the plains. If we want to deal with them, we can only defend the city. We may not be sure of it. If there is a mistake, what should we do?" Zhang Yan's words also have her reasons. She was afraid that if Yue Su defeated the troops this time, it will not only lose morale, but more importantly, there are not many main forces in the court, part of them is in the R and part is in Liaodong. There are only so many who can take action at the moment. If they are destroyed by the Tartars all at once, the Tartars will take advantage of the situation to attack Bejng, how to defend.
"Don't worry, the Empress Dowager, I am sure that I dare to volunteer. Moreover, the current situation cannot tolerate me not to send troops." Yue Su said.
"Then... that's fine... You must be careful when you go here. If the battle is not good, remember to return to the capital quickly. The capital is still counting on the Qing family." Although Zhang Yan would occasionally plot against Yue Su in the past, when it comes to the critical moment, she is not at ease, and only believes in Yue Su.
"I obey the order." Yue Su bowed to accept the order, then stood up, came to the middle, bowed and said, "Emperor, Empress Dowager, the so-called rescue of soldiers is like putting out a fire. It is not advisable to do this matter. Please immediately issue an order to order me to send troops."
"Okay! The Ai family will pass the order now."
The issue of the imperial edict was no different from writing a bookmark for the people in the imperial study. When they asked for the decree, Yue Su returned to the cabinet. Although the cabinet ministers did not see the content of the 600-li expedition, the soldier's voice was so loud that he had already alarmed everyone. After asking for it, he would know the general.
At the moment, these people were anxious and didn't know what to do. When they saw Lord Yue coming back, they hurriedly asked what to do. Yue Su told them that they had asked for an order and decided to send troops to resist the Tartars. They were relieved after hearing Lord Yue went there in person.
The cabinet ministers are still okay in governing the country, but in war, they have no ability, and Yue Su doesn't have to discuss it with them. However, after Jiang Jie went to the book, all the strategies had to be decided by himself.
This time, Lord Yue re-takes military affairs in the six provinces and has the title of military department. After thinking about it, the first thing he did was naturally to mobilize troops. The cabinet drafted an order to mo Youjian to transfer all the navy back. Now there is no need to go to Liaodong to disturb you. Go to the Yellow River quickly, guard all the ferries of the Yellow River, and prohibit the Tatars from crossing the river. The speed must be fast. Be sure to grab the Tatars before they head north. If they are one step late, let the Tatars cross the river and be executed immediately.
This is the first decree. The second decree is to order the general of Xuanfu Sima Qiaoyu to dispatch 40,000 troops to the north bank of the Yellow River. If he encounters Tartars, even if he dies, he will stop the Tartars. The third decree is to send Shandong Governor Wu Rumeng, and ask him to lead 50,000 troops to Shanxi, the faster the better. The fourth decree is to give the general guarding Tongguan. Liu Guoneng, who will fight to the death to guard Tongguan, and he will never let the Tartars enter Henan. Moreover, the decree is clearly written. After receiving the decree, Tongguan must not be opened again. No matter who wants to enter or leave, it cannot be done. This is to prevent the Tartars from entering the city, and the inside and outside.
Liu Guoneng was originally a surrendered general in the bandits, and was the first to accept the revenge. He was recruited by Xiong Wencan at that time. During the battle with the bandits, this guy worked diligently. Yue Su would not treat such a general unfairly. Not only did he let him manage the bandits in Shaanxi, he also gave him Tongguan and let him guard it. Because he wanted to guard Tongguan, he did not go to the bank.
When the four decrees were issued, Yue Su was not idle. He immediately dispatched troops and generals in the Northern Zhili side. He gathered 50,000 troops and selected a general from the Governor's Office. Among them, Li Dingguo must take it. Yue Su loved this boy very much. When Yuan Chonghuan rebelled, he had asked him to take the lead. This time, as usual, Yue Su asked him to be the vanguard, command 10,000 troops, set out first, rushed to Shanxi, and met with Sima Qiaoyu.
Immediately followed Yue Su to command 40,000 troops and rushed to Shanxi.
Besides, on the other side of Huang Taiji, he relied on the internal and external strategies to seize the three passes. After the army entered the city, he swept across the three passes. Although the Great Wall was dangerous, it was only external. It was not easy for the Tartars to fight from the inside.
After winning the three passes, Huang Taiji did not give up the pass. It was not easy to come by himself. He had to guard this pass first. Who knew what changes would happen after R. So he asked Beile Shuotou to lead 7,000 troops to defend the three passes, and led the Man Meng coalition forces to attack Yinchuan.
Zhao Tingzhang, the governor of Ningxia who was in charge of Yinchuan, had already learned that the three gates were lost. He did not dare to send troops to fight the Tartars head-on, so he had to mobilize troops and defend the city. Ningxia also had a lot of troops, with more than 60,000 people. Although it was a little dispersed, many gathered 40,000 people in Yinchuan. The plains and the Tartars had no ability, but there was no problem in defending the city. Yinchuan City was the capital of Xixia during the Song Dynasty. The city was high and thick. Later, although it was blood-battered by the ancients, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Yinchuan was designated as a nine-sided important town and rebuilt the city. The current Yinchuan City is as solid as a solid foundation. Although the Tartars were strong, they were not strong enough to attack the city. After several attacks, they were not taken down.
Huang Taiji had no time to mess around here. Seeing that Fa was captured, he led his army eastward, burned, killed, looted, and entered Shaanxi. Huang Taiji brought a lot of troops this time. His own troops, including the eight banners of Manchu and Han, could have 100,000 troops. In the Menggu, all the troops did not dare to disobey their orders head-on, and they sent troops one after another, and gathered nearly 100,000 people. At the beginning, the morale of the Menggu army was very low, thinking that it would be impossible to break through the Great Wall. This time, it would not only be in vain, but Huang Taiji brought less food, and at that time, Fa would not only kill or injured the city. However, after they entered the Three Passes, the jng godhead came immediately and stopped it on the way forward. This time, it seemed that it would make a fortune again.
The Meng coalition forces had 200,000, and no matter where they went, they were like winds and clouds. Except for the house, they could not be taken away, and all other things, people or things, as long as they could be taken away, were stolen. Even if they could not be taken away, they would have to burn them. It can be said that it was so cruel.
At this time, the army came to Yan'an Prefecture. The people around Yan'an had already received news that those who could enter the city had entered the city one after another. Those who could not enter the city were also fleeing elsewhere. But the Tatars marched, just like last time, and sent Jirgalang to lead the light cavalry in front and responsible for looting, and the army was behind to support them. Those who were slower could not escape their clutches.
Jiergalang's troops swept through the villages and towns around Yan'an Prefecture. After he robbed all the people he could, he ordered to camp outside the city and wait for Huang Taiji's army.
When Huang Taiji's army arrived, he had to send troops to attack the city. There were not many soldiers in Yan'an Prefecture, but no matter what, it was a prefecture city, with thousands of people still in it. After defending for seven times, the city was finally broken. After entering Yan'an City, the Tatars took Yan'an only two days to steal Yan'an. Yan'an can be regarded as an important place in Shaanxi. It can go to Chang'an in the south and enter Shanxi in the east.
In the prefectural office in Yan'an City, Huang Taiji summoned a group of princes and princes under his command to hold a meeting here to study the next plan. Now there are two options, one is to enter Shanxi, then go north and fight to bejng, and the other is to go south to Chang'an.
Everyone discussed and agreed that Shaanxi was too poor and could not grab too many good things. Chang'an is a major city, and now he must be prepared. It is more difficult to attack. Compared with attacking Chang'an, going east across the Yellow River, entering Shanxi, and then going north to bejng should be the best choice.
Seeing that everyone thought it would be better to go to Shanxi, Huang Taiji ordered Jiergalang to lead his troops to continue to serve as the current troops and enter Shanxi east.
Prince Zheng Jiergalang took the order and took the lead to the headquarters' blue flag and 15,000 ancient soldiers to advance eastward. Normally, it is only more than 100 miles from Yan'an to the Yellow River. If you go quickly, you will be able to arrive in one day. However, if you don't grab some things on the road and catch some prisoners, can it be considered a Tartar?
More than 20,000 people burned, killed, looted, and there were only mice and other places where they passed, so the speed was naturally not fast. Moreover, after robbing a place, he left the prisoners and property, ordered a few soldiers to guard them, and waited until Huang Taiji arrived and gave them to Huang Taiji. In this way, it took three days to reach the bank of the Yellow River. His other task was to build a floating bridge for the army behind to pass.
This kind of work is relatively easy. People who often march will do it. After working for a long time, they built a total of six floating bridges. In fact, three floating bridges are enough for him, but Huang Taiji has more people, so fewer ones are definitely not enough.
The floating bridge was built, the troops crossed the river, and people sent to report to Huang Taiji. When crossing the Yellow River, Jiergalang did not continue to advance, but instead set up camps on the spot, waiting for Huang Taiji's army.
The soldiers built a floating bridge and were busy for most of the day. After dinner in the evening, they drank less wine and all lay down to rest. Jiergalang was a relatively cautious person, but the army came all the way and did not encounter any resistance. It was inevitable that the Ming army would underestimate the enemy. I expected that the Ming army would not dare to fight with him. However, after all, the same was true. Whether it was the last time I entered the pass or this time, they basically took the initiative to attack the Ming army. The Ming army was just passively defending the city and did not dare to fight in the field at all.
And this time crossing the Yellow River was a simple comparison. It seems that it would be no problem to hit bejng in one go. At night, he arranged some ancient meng soldiers to patrol, and other soldiers and horses should rest when they should.
Late at night, the Tartar camp was quiet, and only a few ancient soldiers stood at the entrance of the camp and were chatting.
"This NV real person is too bullying. The floating bridge is built in white. Basically, our people are busy with work. Their people look for a cool place to rest. ***. When we stand guard at night, it is actually us. Their people go to sleep. Why are good things theirs?" A meng ancient soldier said with dissatisfaction.
"Brother, don't let NV real people hear this, otherwise our heads must move. Our ancient tribes are all in charge, and NV real people are unified. No matter which tribe they are, they are not the opponent of NV real people. There is no way, I can only listen to others. However, it is said that they are patrolling at night, and there is nothing to patrol. The Ming people are all cowards, so they can cat in the city. How dare they fight us on the plains? The people inside seem to be asleep, and I don't know if they want to rush to the road tomorrow. I see that we also said to the ancient soldiers.
"That's right. I can't even see a ghost in this place, so where can the Ming army come from? Besides, even if there is really, I don't believe that they dare to come and fight. If they dare to fight, there is no need to wait for now. Wouldn't it be better to fight when we cross the river?"
"That's it. Sit down and sleep for a while, and I'm so sleepy that I'm so sleepy." The ancient man said, yawned, then sat down, leaned against the fence, and started to sleep.
The other soldiers were also sleepy, and no one in the middle of the night wanted to sleep. For a moment, they sat down one by one and fell asleep against the fence.
At the third update.
There were three teams of people secretly coming to this side from three directions, southeast, north and south.
These troops are all cavalrymen, with 3,000 people per route. On this side of the east road, Li Dingguo and Tie Qiu were led; on the other side of the east road, Sima Qiaoyu was; on the other side of the south road, there were Jinchan and Huzi.
These three men and horses were all held by men and picked up the bells, and no sound was made. The three men and horses marched at about the same speed. Let’s talk about the way Li Dingguo stopped when he was two miles away from the Tatar camp.
There were few stars tonight, and the moon was not very bright. In addition, it was late at night, and the visual distance was very short. Li Dingguo whispered: "What time is it now?"
"It should be the third update." said a junior school student.
"Okay, I think the other two routes should be here too. Everyone is ready for battle." Li Dingguo said in a small voice.
The people around him nodded without answering.
Then, Li Dingguo activated his horse to sit on the horse and slowly moved forward, trying not to make any noise. The meng soldiers who were watching the night were getting closer and closer, and the young men were sleeping in fragrance, but they did not notice that an enemy had arrived. When he was more than a hundred steps away from the camp, Li Dingguo could already vaguely see the enemy camp. He smiled slightly, raised the bright silver spear in his hand, and said loudly: "Brothers, kill the enemy for the night, and fight with me!"
The sound settled, and he knocked his feet on the horse's belly, and the white dragon horse under his crotch squirted and rushed out. Tieqiu followed closely behind, while the other Ming troops rushed forward.
As the Ming army quickly became faster, the sound of horse hooves immediately sounded. Meng Gu Bing heard the sound, but as soon as he opened his eyelids, he saw a bright gun stabbing him.
"ah!"
As the first scream rang out, the earth-shaking shouts of killing also sounded.
"Catch!" "Kill!" "Kill all the Tartars!"...
The Ming army roared into the camp, then lit a torch, saw the tent, and threw it over. The Tartar soldiers were all sleeping because it was summer and were not wearing armor, and were all shirtless. When they heard the sound, they came out in panic. What greeted them was the cold sabre.
The shouts of killing and screams were mixed in the camp. Except for the direction where the Yellow River is located in the west, there were constant shouts of killing on the other three sides.
Such a loud noise, how could Jiergalang be alarmed? He was sleeping in the tent. Like an ordinary soldier, he was not wearing armor. He hurriedly got up, put on a piece of clothing, and ran out with a big knife.
"What happened? What happened!" he shouted loudly as soon as the camp tent came out.
Looking around, there were fire everywhere, and my ears were filled with shouts of killing.
"Your Majesty, it seems that there is a Ming army robbing the camp." A Tartar soldier who was guarding the commander's tent quickly replied.
"Don't panic, take my horse and follow me to hold on!" Jirgalang shouted.
"Yes, Prince."
The soldiers rushed and brought Jirgalang's war horse. He turned over and summoned his subordinates loudly to fight. But before many people could be gathered, a naked Tartar soldier ran towards the east. The guy shouted loudly: "The prince is not good. The Ming army has come from the east. The brothers are not even enough to get on the horse, so they are chopped and killed. Now there are many casualties. The Ming army is rushing to the central army tent."
"Don't panic, I understand that there are not many people in the Ming army. I, the Eight Banners Warriors, are all brave, so why are you afraid of these Ming people?"
As soon as Jirgalang finished speaking, another Tartar soldier ran over to the north, "The prince is not good. The Ming army came from the north, and the brothers were not as good as they could get on the horse. The fundamental law resisted, and there were many casualties at this moment. The Ming army was rushing to the central army tent."
"What?" Jirgalang was obviously a little nervous when he heard this.
But then, another ancient man from the south came to attack, and he also shouted loudly: "Prince, something is wrong. The Ming army came from the south. My people were chopped and killed before they could get on the horse and could not resist it. The Ming army was rushing to the Central Army tent at this moment."
After hearing the reports one after another, Jirgalang clenched his fists tightly and said, "Walk with me to the west and go to the pontoon bridge, but no one is allowed to cross the bridge, guard the pontoon bridge for me. Aseji, you will cross the river immediately and inform the emperor and ask him to come and reinforce quickly. Once the pontoon bridge is demolished, they will not be able to get there."
Aseji was the leader of Jirgalang's guard. He immediately took the order and rode his horse to the west. Jirgalang also quickly commanded his troops and retreated to the west.
The camps in the west were not injured because there was no Ming army's sneak attack. When these soldiers heard the shouts of killing, they came out to check and learned that it was the Ming army's sneak attack. They were carrying weapons to get on the horse and ready for battle. Soon, Jiergalang rushed over with some soldiers and commanded the soldiers to continue to retreat to the west, guarding the floating bridge, and fighting with the backs.
They retreated to the west, and the three men of Li Dingguo, Sima Qiaoyu and Jin Chan were also coming here. In addition to them, in addition to the establishment of the Tatar camp, there were also Ming troops who were rushing towards the sky and overwhelmingly rushing towards them. However, most of them were infantry, and their speed was inevitably much worse.
This is the subsequent reinforcements.
Not only were there people on the road, but there were also hundreds of warships driving towards the direction where the Tatar camp was located. The flagship that was leading was an English sea boat. There were two people standing on the watchtower of the warship, one was Mo Youjian, and the other was Yue Su.
Yue Su was wearing a golden helmet and golden armor tonight, and a scarlet cloak, which looked majestic. The flagship was very fast, facing the breeze on the river, and the cloak was flying behind him.
The Ming army attacked the ambush and set fire in the Tatar camp. The fire became bigger and bigger. He could see clearly above the river. Yue Su looked at the enemy camp with a smug smile on his face. He pointed his hand at the Tartar camp and said, "I dare to go to the hinterland of my Ming Dynasty to burn, kill and loot. Tonight, it will be your sacrifice. I will definitely call you, and I can't come or go. I am just you, and Huang Taiji who has not yet come. I will still ask him to pay his blood debts."
"The general uses troops as a god. Although the Tartar cavalry is fierce, they are just rampant outside the pass. If you enter the Central Plains, it is equivalent to entering the palm of the general's hand. Even if you have the ability to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, you will not be able to fly out." Mo Youjian said flatteringly.
Chapter completed!
