Chapter 463 Divide the troops and ambush

Zhu Dadian, Ma Ke and others agreed with Li Yan's proposal.

Ai Nengqi, it is still unknown whether Ma Bao can catch up with and intercept important Qing dynasty members. Then, if it is possible to annihilate the Qing dynasty defeated from Henan and Shandong as much as possible, it will be easier to send troops out of the pass to completely destroy the Qing dynasty in the future.

As for Huang Degong and whether Yang Zhan's troops were sufficient, all the ministers of the Military Affairs Council believed that it was fine.

Now, Huang Degong has not sent out the three towns of garrison troops, and he still has the second town of the Imperial Guards, the fifth town, the eleventh town and the thirteenth town of the Border Guards.

There is also the fourth town of the border defense army led by Yang Zhan and the twelfth town of the border defense army led by Liu Fangliang.

The troops of the six towns were stationed in the capital and nearby prefectures and counties, and sent two towns to Yanqing Prefecture respectively. Miyun Guard supported Ainengqi and Ma Bao, and then sent two towns to Baoanzhou and Xuanfu Town, which was completely enough.

After the discussion was completed, the Military Affairs Council followed this proposal and issued a military order to Huang Degong and Yang Zhan...

Miyun.

October was originally a clear and cool season for autumn, but due to the Little Ice Age, the weather was already a little cold.

Seven-year-old Fulin sat in the bumpy carriage, and as the cold wind poured into the car through the gap in the door curtain, he couldn't help but shivered, shrank into Bumubutai's arms, and said, "My mom, it's so cold."



Bumubutai picked up a fur cloak and put it on him, saying, "When you rest for a while, you won't be cold."

Fulin raised his head and asked, "Mother, when can I rest? My butt hurts."

The team started to walk at dawn this morning and had already reached the west side of the sun. Bumubutai felt that it was time to stop and rest.

After all, many of the families in the team are elderly, weak, women and children, and they cannot withstand too long bumps and rush forward.

She then sent someone to ask Dorgon.

Unexpectedly, Dorgon came here in person and boarded the carriage.

Dorgon did not avoid Fulin, and the space on the carriage was not large, so he sat near Bumubutai, knees next to him.

Fulin already understood a lot of things, but frowned when he saw this, but he didn't dare to say anything.

The two adults didn't care about Fulin's idea at all.

Dorgon said: "There is Miyun County not far ahead, and we can rest when we get there."

"This trip was only daytime, how could the elderly and children bear it?" Bumubutai felt that the road was too fast.

Some TV series in later generations actually performed Bumubutai too well.

It cannot be denied that Bumubutai is indeed quite scheming and skillful in politics, but other aspects are average, and even has many shortcomings - this is determined by his origin.

She was originally a noble woman from the Korqin tribe in the grassland. She married Huang Taiji as her concubine at the age of thirteen. Since then, except for some palace conspiracies and political struggles, she has never experienced any other ups and downs.

Regarding the long-distance journey, whether she married Huang Taiji from Korqin to the distance or moved to the capital from outside the pass last year, she was served by many servants in a rather relaxed environment.

Where have you ever experienced the current situation of rushing to escape?

So, not to mention that Fulin felt it was hard, even she couldn't stand it.

Their large team either rode horses or took a car, and spent the entire day for three consecutive days. She really didn't think the Ming army could catch up - it all means that the army came from the sea, so there shouldn't be many cavalry, right?

If the Ming army were all infantrymen, it would be even more difficult to catch up with them.

Why leave so urgently?

Dorgon explained: "It is because there are many elderly people and children in the team that they have to go faster, otherwise it will be dangerous if the Ming army catches up."

In fact, Dorgon would not let the team where the elderly and children were located face the situation of the Ming army, because when it really reached this point, the team would easily collapse and all had to be finished.

So before this, the army and the elderly and weak teams would be separated - if the Ming army is weak, the army will be allowed to solve the Ming army; if the Ming army is too strong, they can only abandon the teams where the elderly, weak, women and children are.

Of course, he would try his best to bring Fulin and Bumubutai with him, after all, Fulin is still the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

But Dorgon would never tell Bumubutai these words.

"What should we do if we escape from the capital, King Ying, King Su, and Shanxi?" Bumubutai asked again.

Dorgon barely smiled and said, "Don't worry, on the day I received the news of the Ming army landing in Tianjin, I sent someone to inform them to withdraw their troops and let them enter the grassland from Shanxi and return to Liaodong."

"That's good." Bumubutai was a little relieved.

She also knew that the army was the basis for maintaining the Qing rule. If there was no army, even if they fled outside the pass, their lives would not be easy.

Dorgon patted Bumubutai's hand and said, "Don't think about it anymore, I'll go down first."

"Um."

Before getting off the car, Dorgon noticed Fulin's brows and his unhappy expression, and couldn't help but smile.

After getting off the bus, the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

It was not because of Fulin's hostility, but because he knew that the Qing Dynasty was facing an unprecedented crisis now.

Although he had sent people to send messages to generals from Shandong, Henan and Shanxi to withdraw their troops, it was unknown whether they could withdraw.

And he had a faint feeling that since the Ming army dared to land in Tianjin and take the capital directly, they might have gained considerable advantages in the battlefields of Henan, Shandong and Shanxi.

If so, it would be even more difficult for the Eight Banners Army to withdraw.

The next day.

Dorgon, who had been resting in Miyun County for a night, set off at dawn. When it was almost noon, a whistleman came after him and reported it urgently.

"Prince, a group of Ming cavalry is catching up with you!"

Dorgon and Daishan looked at each other and asked in a deep voice: "How many of them are there?"

The whistle cavalry replied: "There should be about 1,500 cavalry."

Dai Shan asked: "How long do you think they will catch up with us?"

The whistleblower saw the speed of the marching of the team next to him and said, "You can catch up in one or two minutes at most."

Upon hearing this, Dorgon and Dai Shan frowned.

Immediately, Dorgon said: "It was only 1,500 cavalry before. We divided 3,000 cavalrymen and should be able to eat them."

When Dorgon and others left the capital, there were nearly 10,000 soldiers of all kinds. Although most of them were recruited by Manchu men, there were four or five thousand genuine Eight Banners Manchus.

These four or five thousand genuine Eight Banners Manchus can be used as cavalry.

Dai Shan nodded after hearing this and said, "I'll lead the cavalry, you can continue to move forward with the large team."

The Qing Dynasty was at such a critical moment, and the Daishan family was also in the large team. Dorgon was not worried about the bad intentions he could have after he took the three thousand cavalry, so he nodded immediately to agree.

···

Dai Shan led three thousand cavalry and rushed back a few miles to the future. He found a place suitable for the ambush of the cavalry, and stopped and asked the cavalry under his command to ambush them into three groups.

Daishan was born in 1583 and is already 62 years old. He is already an elderly person among the Manchus today.

He followed Nurhaci to fight in his teenage years, and has experienced countless battles of all sizes and sizes over the past decades.

Although he has stopped leading troops on the front line due to his old age and the suppression of Huang Taiji and Dorgon in recent years, it does not mean that he has become incompetent.

In fact, as he grew older, he became more and more experienced in using troops.

Just like this time, even though he led the Eight Banners Manchu cavalry twice as much as the Ming army, he chose to ambush.

After Daishan and others were ambushed for a quarter of an hour, smoke and dust rose on the way.

Dai Shan looked at it with the Qianli Mile Mile and couldn't help but frown, because only five or six hundred riders came.

He looked back and found two other streams of smoke and dust, which were about the same size, and moved forward in a zigzag shape with the previous cavalry, rather than in a zigzag shape along the road they walked through.
