106 Skynet
Huang Taiji stood on the rocks at Hongshankou and looked at the Ming Dynasty in the Great Wall from afar. He was not happy to break through the pass, but full of bitterness.
The army attacked for a day and a night, with heavy casualties. However, the Hongshankou Pass was completely burned and the passage was blown into a pile of rocks. The fire was more effective than a million troops, blocking a day and a night. Then it took another two days to clear the rocks and clear the passage!
It was at these passes that the army was blocked for four days! The Ming Dynasty only had four more days to prepare.
Standing at this location, Zunhua City in the distance is clearly visible, as if it is within reach.
From Zunhua City to the south, it is Jizhou and the place where the Jizhen Army garrison is located. As long as you pass Jizhou, you will be the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
This distance is only three or four hundred miles! With the speed of the Eight Banners Essential Cavalry, it only takes a few days to reach the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
But at this time, Huang Taiji was no longer as confident as when he sent troops at the beginning of Yue.
"Your Majesty!" Su Yaqin's voice came from behind Huang Taiji, as gentle and charming as ever.
Huang Taiji did not look back and sighed: "Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are right in front of him..."
"The owners of all the banners are talking about the Ming Dynasty, and the country is ready to go." Su Yaqin said, "Does Your Majesty think so?"
"What do you think?" Huang Taiji asked back.
"This is a trap!" Su Yaqin replied, "If you want to get, you will be trapped in the trap! The Zunhua City under the pass is afraid that even if it is not an empty city, the defenders will collapse and flee to Jizhou. Then, what about Jizhou, is Your Majesty ready to attack?"
Huang Taiji didn't say anything.
This is actually what he is most worried about.
"Your Majesty," Su Yaqin took a step forward, had already arrived at Huang Taiji's side, and said softly: "It's still time to look back now..."
"Look back?" Huang Taiji sneered, "Now, the army will fall apart before it returns to Shenyang and will never get together again. Is this the result you want to see?"
He didn't say anything. Looking back now, in addition to the collapse of the army, His Majesty, His Majesty, who had just ascended the throne, would be unable to convince the public and step down in disgrace.
Su Yaqin was shocked and could not speak anymore.
The opportunity in front of her was the last time she could dissuade Huang Taiji. Since she learned that she had sent troops, she had urged Huang Taiji not to take such risky military actions, but Huang Taiji couldn't listen at all. Now, it is obvious that this is a trap, a trap set by the Ming Empire.
On the rocks, both of them remained silent, and the atmosphere seemed a little calm. Su Yaqin sighed and said, "Your Majesty, you feel a little uneasy in your heart, right?"
Huang Taiji did not answer.
Su Yaqin already knew in her heart that she could no longer dissuade Huang Taiji. She had persuaded her several times since she sent troops in Shenyang, but every time it ended in failure.
She now understands what Luo Feiyu said back then. At that time, Luo Feiyu was saying that the Ming Dynasty was his home court, and that the entire Ming Dynasty was the final decision.
Now this is his home court. It is obvious that he is the result of his unified deployment! Just like he re-activated Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, and placed on Guan Ningjin's front line like Denglai, he has the final say.
But on the other hand, it was not her who had the final say on the Later Jin side, but Huang Taiji had the final say. She could only try her best to influence and persuade, but she could not make a decision on behalf of Huang Taiji.
She was beside Huang Taiji, watching the dusk gradually enveloping the four fields, and finally she could only sigh and turn around and leave.
The next day, the army crossed Hongshankou, Longjing Pass, and Da'ankou, and rushed into the territory of the Ming Empire like a tide.
The Zunhua defenders left the city to form a formation and met the vanguard of the Later Jin army. Before the war started, they were disorganized. They really broke down and fled in all directions. In order to escape, they set fire in the city and burned food and supplies.
Su Yaqin only learned the news on the way at night, and her heart couldn't help but feel a slap in her heart and tense up again.
Zunhua City is an important center of the Ming border army. It is not good news to take it down so easily. However, the Mongolian tribes and the Eight Banners' heads all believed that except for the Liaodong border army, the other border army had become corrupt and depraved, and were vulnerable.
They seemed to have seen the beautiful prospect of a large army approaching the capital of the Ming Dynasty and looting everywhere.
The next day, Santun Camp outside Zunhua City was obtained without fighting. The defenders of Santun Camp abandoned the city overnight and fled to Liaodong.
Huang Taiji left people to station in Zunhua and Santun camps, leading his own army, and was magnificent and approaching Jizhou.
Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Ji Town, stayed in his door and waited for the army to attack the city. Huang Taiji would not forcefully attack important towns like Jizhou, but instead led his troops around Jizhou and headed straight to the capital.
Su Yaqin stayed in Zunhua and did not follow Huang Taiji's army to the south.
She became increasingly unfavorable to the outcome of this war.
She secretly made up her mind that it was time to change the gameplay, otherwise she would not have the chance to turn the tables and would have to be beaten by Luo Feiyu like this.
After Huang Taiji, there was only one person who could command the Eight Banners Cavalry, that is Dorgon who stayed in Zunhua City! He is still very young and less than twenty years old. But what Su Yaqin wanted was not to assist Dorgon, but to make the decision by herself! But even if Dorgon was killed, the Eight Banners Master would not listen to her!
But now, it's time for her to start acting!
Su Yaqin has been paying attention to the progress of Huang Taiji's army. After the army crossed Jizhou, Yuan Chonghuan, the general of Ji Town, responded strangely. He did not lead the army out of the city to follow and pursue, but continued to huddle behind the high walls of Jizhou City.
...
Luo Feiyu personally led the three camps of the capital and the Jinyiwei army to 140,000,000, stationed twenty miles outside Tongzhou City. Relying on Tongzhou City, blocking the way of Huang Taiji's army.
The commander of the left army, Man Gui, led 30,000 elite cavalry and stationed in Shunyi. The 30,000 elite cavalry were formed by the gathering of the cavalry drawn from the three camps of Xuanfu, Datong, Yansui, and the cavalry drawn from the three camps of the capital.
Cao Wenzhao, commander of the right-road army, led 30,000 elite cavalry in Guanning and stationed in Xianghe.
In addition, the Ji Town Supervisor Yuan Chonghuan led 60,000 border troops in Ji Town were stationed in Jizhou, and they formed a large net, surrounding Huang Taiji's 120,000 army.
Shunyi and Xianghe are only fifty miles away from Tongzhou. Once the battle begins, the two elite cavalry brigades on the left and right can carry out attacks from the left and right.
This is not finished yet. The Liaodong governor Sun Chengzong led a 30,000 Guanning army to join the defenders who retreated from Santun Camp. He set up camp in Qian'an. After just a command, he went to attack Santun Camp and Zunhua to cut off Huang Taiji's retreat.
Huang Taiji led his army across Jizhou, and the next day he learned that the Ming army was blocking his way twenty miles outside Tongzhou City. He immediately set up camp and prepared for a big battle.
The sun sets westward, and the army is busy camping. Huang Taiji is discussing with the generals in the tent and is reported that a team of 300 elite cavalry of the Ming army are coming to the camp.
Of course, the Three Hundred Essential Cavalry was not here to attack the camp. Huang Taiji asked a few questions and immediately understood that the Jinyiwei Essential Cavalry came, maybe it was Luo Feiyu, the Grand Master of the Ming Dynasty, who came to explore the camp?
