It is said that Ping Jiancheng was to use cannons to hold on for half a year and drag Jiannu to death. Isn't this nonsense?
"Ma Junmen, I think it's better to write to the Ministry of War and ask the Ministry of War to send more food and supplies to transport it here again. This is not possible."
Madeng Yun said helplessly: "The city is about to be besieged. Even if we start transporting now, it will take a month to arrive. How can we move carriages and horses in this ice and snow? If we don't do it in summer and autumn, how can we do it now? Besides, the city is under siege, and it won't arrive until now."
No luck coming in."
Tan Shide was silent, and the gentlemen in the Ministry of War were just pretending to have something in their minds.
Don’t they remember that their money and grain were worth less than 30% first? The grandsons in charge of the warehouse also mixed sand and soil into the military grain so that they could steal a third of it. When they got to the fields, the generals would take some away. How could this be possible?
Eating.
"Ma Junmen, we are like grasshoppers trapped on a rope now. What do you think we should do?" Tan Shide spread his hands and he had no idea.
"Get into his mother's hair, do it alive, or die. I stretched my legs and fell down. This city can't be defended. Fight out tonight, take advantage of them to gain a foothold and catch them off guard first. In addition, send out the cavalry."
, the infantry will defend the city, and the cavalry will go to the outside to attack and harass at any time, and cooperate with the defense of the city." Ma Dengyun said with a glare.
He was really anxious. In this situation, no matter how you looked at it, it was a doomed situation.
"Ma Junmen, do you have a suitable cavalry general? I still have ten thousand cavalry in hand, which I can give to you." Tan Shide said.
At this time, he no longer cares about preserving his strength. Let's get past the current level first.
"I have a servant general named Ma Xi who is good at commanding cavalry. I also have ten thousand cavalry. Give them all to him. After the battle tonight, the infantry will retreat back to defend the city. Let Ma Xi lead the cavalry directly into the mountains.
It's not much use for the cavalry to defend the city. With them on the outside, they can contain the slaves, but at least they don't dare to deal with us with all their strength, they have to guard the food road." Ma Dengyun said.
Tan Shide thought for a while, there was not enough food in the city, and bringing out 20,000 people would be a relief, at least he could hold on for a while longer. So he nodded.
"Before I left, Heiyunlong's troops had already gone out to camp at Yuanbaoshan. He also had more than ten thousand cavalry in his hands. According to the deployment of the Ministry of War, he waited until Jiannu was exhausted from attacking the city, and then he sent out to attack Jiannu. He cooperated with us inside and outside, and we defeated them.
Enemy troops." Tan Shide said.
"Shit, even if Jiannu is exhausted, there are still more than 200,000 people. He only has 50,000 people. Even if he rushes out, he still won't kill people." Ma Dengyun was very pessimistic. He didn't think that relying on the city would be enough.
Can tire out enemy troops.
"It's better to gather 150,000 people together and have a decisive battle at the foot of Chifeng City. Regardless of winning or losing, it's better than being defeated individually." Ma Dengyun said.
It's not that Ma Dengyun never thought about it, he might as well accept the fate of the foreign king and let the three of them disobey. But after thinking about it, if this is the case, even if they win, the end will not be good.
Donglin will never tolerate their disobedience.
Not to mention Your Majesty. Since he came to the throne, whether it was to eradicate eunuchs or rectify the administration of officials, he has been very cunning. Your Majesty is not a kind master.
As for the whole Ma family, they really can't make a move after thinking about it.
After the sun went down, Ma Dengyun and Tan Shide left 30,000 men to defend the city. They gathered 20,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry. They secretly opened the south gate and left the city.
The two made an appointment, each with 20,000 infantry, to attack the two yellow flags' camp opposite. Ma Xi led 20,000 cavalry around the back of the camp and launched a surprise attack. At the same time, he sent scouts to monitor the two yellow flags and the camp.
Activities in other camps.
Once the enemy comes to your aid in large numbers, retreat and never hesitate to fight.
In order to prevent and delay the enemy's rescue of the two yellow flags of the Chinese army, five thousand people, one man and two horses, with a swarm of rockets, were divided into twenty teams to harass each camp. When they arrived outside the camp, they beat gongs and drums, and played
Firecrackers, igniting a swarm of rockets in their arms, and shooting rockets into the camp to set fire.
In the middle of the night, every camp was attacked at night. The commander's normal reaction was to stabilize his own camp first and not to consider rescuing others first.
Ma Dengyun and Tan Shide had reached an agreement and led the army out of the city. The cavalry circled far away and sneaked behind the enemy without anyone noticing.
Ma Dengyun and Tan Shide led a large group of troops to quietly move toward the two yellow flags, and reached the outside of the camp in the middle of the night.
Ma Dengyun would not launch an attack at this time. He would wait until the morning star rises, which is when people are most asleep and at their lowest vigilance. Ma Xi's cavalry would also launch a sudden attack at that time.
When the time comes, attack from two sides and defeat the two yellow flags.
After Ma Xi and others saw the infantry fighting, they launched hundreds of tigers' arrows and a swarm of bees' arrows before launching their attack. After Jiannu and the infantry fought, they would inevitably neglect to guard their backs.
At this time, Ma Xi's attack will be sudden and should easily cause certain casualties to Jiannu.
Ma Dengyun was very strict in managing the army. These northwest soldiers were hard-working and still had a certain fighting capacity. In fact, these troops were the main force that Hong Chengchou later selected as the frontier soldiers to attack the rogue bandits. They were also the source of the 100,000 main force in the subsequent Battle of Songjin.
.
However, now because of the flapping of butterfly wings, history has evolved ahead of schedule.
Now, Yang He, the governor of the three sides, only has 100,000 old soldiers who were laid off from the border army. With this, it is already difficult for him to control the situation in Shaanxi.
Previously, the emperor asked him to go to Yang Fan to solve the problem of weapons, armor and military rations.
But now, even Chongzhen couldn't find Yang Fan, let alone others. When Yang He's message arrived in Guihua City, Zhang Wudian and Liu Hongxun couldn't move Yang Fan's people at all.
They had no soldiers, no money or food, so they could do nothing to help them.
Huang Taiji dragged his fat body into the bathtub and submerged all the fat in the hot water. He sighed happily. The past few days of marching had been hard on him.
He is extremely obese and has high blood pressure. When riding long distances, his blood pressure often soars due to fatigue. In severe cases, blood will break through the nasal mucosa and spurt out.
While Huang Taiji was riding a horse and galloping, he covered his mouth and nose with a cloth.
It must be said that he is a man of great perseverance. He once had a bloody nose and rode for two days and nights to the front line to command.
"Have all the camps been settled?" Huang Taiji asked with his eyes closed, leaning against the wooden barrel wall.
"When we return to the Great Khan, everything has been settled. There are two red flags on the left wing and two white flags on the right wing. The two blue flags are with the Mongolian tribes. The Han army flag has not caught up yet because it brought some Fran cannons. It is estimated that it will be able to follow tomorrow.
To the battlefield."
Jierhalang bowed and said respectfully.
He is the sixth son of Shuerhaqi, a native of the Xianglan Banner, his mother is the Ulanala clan of Fujin, and the nephew of Nurhaci, Taizu of the Qing Dynasty. He was adopted by Nurhaci since he was a child, and he has a very good relationship with the princes, especially Huang Taiji.
"Be prepared. After this battle, I am going to take down Amin and let you take over as the leader of the blue flag."
