Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 192 Fishing
More than twenty days later, a mass of black cavalry finally appeared on the undulating wilderness between the Horqin Grassland and Shenyang.

The sound of the rumbling horseshoes, like rolling thunder, frightened the small and large animals along the way, all of them jumped out of their nests and fled in all directions.

More than [-] riders galloped between the mountains and hills, the aura was overwhelming, and the whole wilderness seemed to be crushed by them.

At this moment, Nurhachi didn't have any overwhelming posture, because he was in a hurry!

The Ming army launched a fierce attack on Liaodong while he was away, and his most beloved son-in-law turned to the enemy. If he didn't rush back, Liaodong would be over!

He was so anxious that he was going crazy right now, because he had just rushed back to the Horqin Grassland when an urgent report came from Liaodong that the Ming army had already captured Liaoyang, and they were attacking Shenyang right now.

If Shenyang was captured by the Ming army, the consequences would be unimaginable.

You know, almost all the family members of the Eight Banners soldiers are in Shenyang City!
And almost all the family members of the Han Eight Banners soldiers who were loyal to him were also in Shenyang City.

And the gold, silver and treasures he looted over the past few years, food and so on, are all in Shenyang City!

Once the Ming army broke through Shenyang City, not only had he been busy in the past few years, but he didn't know how many clansmen he would take in.

Can he be in a hurry?

Right now he couldn't care less about rest, anyway, as long as the horse could run, he would keep galloping and rushing towards Shenyang day and night.

Finally, a huge valley appeared in front of it. Along the side of the small river in the valley, a channel about ten feet wide meandered and stretched to the east.

He couldn't be more familiar with this scene. In front of him is Fort Tingbo, and there are more than 200 miles to go to Shenyang!
At this time, he didn't care about the exhaustion of people and horses, so he took the lead and rushed into the passage between the valleys.

However, after entering, he still slowed down the speed of the horse and stopped galloping.

Because this road is not wide enough, at most two or three riders can run side by side. If he only brings dozens or hundreds of riders, that's all. It's fine to run wildly.

The problem is that there are tens of thousands of riders behind him at this moment. If they accidentally collide with each other on such a winding mountain road, it will be a disaster. I don't know how many people will be crushed and trampled to death.

Therefore, no matter how anxious he was, he would not dare to gallop with tens of thousands of horses on such a mountain road.

They have run this road countless times, and the cavalry behind them don't need him to remind them. They slow down when they should slow down, and avoid what should be avoided. There is no chaos at all.

In less than half an hour, tens of thousands of cavalry poured into the narrow mountain passage, formed a long dragon dozens of miles long, and ran slowly towards Shenyang.

At this time, on the high mountains two or three miles away from the valley passage, Jinyiwei spies with binoculars began to shake special branches and leaves to send messages.

This kind of concealed signal was transmitted from hill to hill, and the speed was many times faster than that of a galloping horse. In less than a stick of incense, Sun Chengzong in the Dingbo Fort received the news that the slave cavalry had arrived!
At this time, tens of thousands of Ming troops were stationed inside and outside Dingzibo Fortress, and the entire fortress had been renovated, and all the prisoners were taken away.

If it was just to stop the slave cavalry, these troops were enough, because the terrain was too favorable for them, and the slave cavalry were not good at attacking the city. Tens of thousands of horses were enough to guard such a natural barrier.

However, Sun Chengzong did not order everyone to go to the city wall.

Not only did he not order everyone to go up the city wall, but he also ordered Zu Dashou and Zhang Cunren to take 8000 men and horses up immediately, and ran to camp behind the hill more than two miles away from the fort. Only 2000 people led by Zu Dale were left in the entire castle. People and horses.

In this way, even if he climbed up the opposite mountain, Jiannu could only see the 8000 people in the castle, but he couldn't see the [-] people hidden behind the hill.

Forty thousand against two thousand, even if you are not good at siege, there is still hope.

If tens of thousands of people were densely packed in Tingbo Fort, it is estimated that Nurhachi would be desperate.

He didn't want Nurhachi to leave in despair, so he asked Zu Dashou to hide most of his troops.

He was obviously fishing!
Naturally, Nurhachi didn't expect that Sun Chengzong would treat him as a fish. He was so anxious that he forgot to send a vanguard to open the way.

However, he can't be blamed for being too negligent, because they have walked this road countless times, and there is no need to open a road at all!
He just led [-] cavalrymen to rush forward for a while, and when he arrived at a place less than two miles away from Fort Tingbo, he turned the last bend, and suddenly the stone bridge was approaching.

He looked up subconsciously, and almost fell off the horse.

Behind the stone bridge ahead, a city gate tower appeared faintly!

How can this be?

It wasn't there when they came!
Could it be that the Ming army restored Tingbo Fort specifically to block them?
Thinking of this, he quickly raised his hand and said, "Hurry up, pass the order, the army will stop moving immediately!"

Fortunately, they didn't gallop on their horses, otherwise, even if they saw the gate tower in front of them at this moment, they could only bump into it head-on. Forty thousand cavalry galloped on such a narrow mountain road, and they couldn't stop at a distance of two miles. down.

The question is, what if it stops?

Nurhachi led a group of generals and slowly rode forward to take a look. The T-shaped fort in front had indeed been repaired, and there were still figures of the Ming army on the city wall.

He frowned and pondered for a while, then pointed to a hill more than [-] meters high and ordered: "Mang Gurtai, climb up and see how many Ming troops are stationed on the opposite side."

Sanbeile Manggurtai heard the words, quickly got off his horse, ran all the way, and soon climbed up the nearby hill.

After a while, he ran down and said out of breath, "Father Khan, there are about two thousand Ming troops stationed on the opposite side."

two thousand?

There are not many Ming troops on the opposite side. The problem is that his men are all cavalry now!

Is it possible to let the cavalry dismount to attack such a natural moat-like pass?

He really didn't want to waste precious cavalry like this. The problem, if he didn't go here, he would have to detour thousands of miles to Fushun Pass.

Fushun Pass is a serious pass, and it has not been destroyed. If the Ming army also took Fushun Pass and sent heavy troops to garrison it, then he would squirt blood.

It is very possible that the Ming army just wanted to block him outside the Great Wall and prevent him from leading the army to rescue Shenyang.

Shenyang must be rescued, if not, the whole of Liaodong will be over, the money and food "collected" after so many years of hard work will also be gone, and the families of Man Banners and Han Banners will also be captured by the Ming army.

He couldn't bear such a big blow!

Nurhachi frowned and pondered for a while, but still gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order, order the cavalry of all banners to build some ladders in the valley along the way, and start attacking Tingbo Fort tomorrow!"

There is no way, even if the cavalry is not good at attacking the city, they must attack, and there is no delay.

Anyway, there are only [-] Ming troops stationed on the opposite side, even if one is exchanged for another, and it takes human lives to heap, they must rush over!
Fortunately, the city wall on the opposite side of the stone bridge is only so wide, and there are not many ladders in total. A few dozen of them can be used to attack in turn.

Standing on the gate tower, Sun Chengzong looked at Nurhachi's gritted teeth expression with a binoculars, and instantly understood that the fish was hooked, and Nurhachi was about to attack Tingbo Fort!

If this guy just stares unwillingly for a while and turns his horse around, then nine out of ten he will leave. Only this guy who is determined to use cavalry to attack the city will make a gnashing of teeth.

Now that the fish is hooked, it's time to move on to the next step.

What's the next move?

In the next step, notify Shenjiying to come to support!
He ordered without hesitation: "Immediately hurry up and inform General Qi that the Jiannu cavalry has been hooked, and they can march this way."

The Shenji Battalion is their trump card, because it is impossible for them to cause huge casualties to the [-] Jiannu cavalry with their small number of troops and these equipments. Only the artillery of the Shenji Battalion can cause heavy casualties to Jiannu .

You know, the valley facing the stone bridge is just about two miles away. Once the Jiannu attack the city, they must line up in the opposite valley, and there will be a good show at that time.

Right now Qi Jin is taking [-] well-equipped soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to station between Shenyang City and Dingzibo Fort. The distance is more than [-] miles. Come!
