Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 609 The Last City

Taichang didn't know that Huang Taiji was dying.

At the moment, there is nothing wrong with him, but he is a little annoying.

Because there were too many captives in Horqin City, even if he mobilized [-] trains to transfer them continuously, it would take at least ten days to transfer them.

Moreover, he could not transfer all these captives to the ports of Liaodong and Beizhili, because there were not so many merchant ships to take people to New Jingzhou Mansion at this moment.

He had no choice but to temporarily transfer more than [-] captives to East Horqin City for custody. Otherwise, the walls of Horqin City would not be able to continue to be built.

Of course, he is happy troubles.

He didn't think there were too many captives, he just couldn't transport them temporarily.

More than ten days later, all the captives in Horqin City were finally transported away, the city wall continued to be built, and all the tents and chariots were moved back to the city.

The next step is to consider the issue of continuing to march north.

In the big tent, everyone frowned and looked at the map on the table.

The grassland in the north is an inverted triangle, and it is also a slanted inverted triangle.

This is a bit troublesome.

If the army of the Shenwu Battalion is still pushed from south to north, the grassland is only a hundred miles wide at the beginning. Fortunately, the grassland will become wider and wider, and the final width will even exceed [-] miles. hundred miles.

At least, that's how it looks on the map.

This kind of terrain is really a bit difficult to push.

So, what to do?

Taichang thought for a while, then asked, "Zhisheng, are you familiar with the grassland to the north?"

Sun Chengzong said in embarrassment: "Forgive me, Your Majesty, I haven't checked the grassland to the north, because if I want to check the grassland to the north, I have to go through the entire Horqin grassland first, and I really can't do it. "

This Sun Chengzong is not familiar, can other people be familiar with it?

Taichang asked again: "Has any of you been to the grassland to the north?"

How could anyone have been to this place.

You know, since the change of Yingzong Tumubao, the Ming Dynasty has basically lost control of the Mongolian and Yuan tribes. Who would dare to cross the Horqin Grassland for more than a thousand miles and go to the northern grassland.

In other words, unless there are people over a hundred years old, it is impossible to have been to the grassland north of Horqin.

Naturally, there are no old monsters over 100 years old here, so everyone can only formulate strategies based on a rough map.

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while, and then suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't we start from the west side first, and clean up the grasslands near Hulun Lake and Beier Lake, so that we can prevent Huang Taiji from escaping to the west. Facing the road in the direction of Langjuxu Mountain."

Makes sense.

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "That's fine, just come here, none of us have ever been to the grassland in the north, and we don't know the situation there, so let's push to the west first, after all, if Huang Taiji fled to Langju The direction of Xushan is a bit troublesome, we still have to chase thousands of miles."

Uh, one more question.

Cao Bianjiao asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, if Huang Taiji is just to the west, if we find Jiannu cavalry, will we pursue it or not?"

This one seems to have to be chased, otherwise, if they run directly to the northwest, they will be able to go to the Langjuxu Mountain.

Taichang thought for a while, and then said decisively: "When you find Jiannu cavalry, chase them, and send iron cavalry to chase them directly. Anyway, they only have more than ten thousand cavalry left. Any of our cavalry can win the battle."

Cao Bianjiao hastily cupped his hands and said, "The general will understand."

The grasslands to the north don't have many people. There are only more than one hundred thousand herdsmen in the grasslands that are more than a thousand miles long and a thousand miles wide.

The various armies of Shenwu Camp don't care how many prisoners there are, anyway, they are going a hundred miles a day, a hundred miles a day, advancing steadily without rush or slow.

When Huang Taiji received the news, he became even more ill.

In his current state, there was no way he could run away with the remaining [-] people!

He could only be in a hurry.

When a person is in a hurry, he will naturally become more ill, and he even begins to fall into a coma, the kind that he can't even wake up, and the time of coma is getting longer and longer, and the time of being awake is getting shorter and shorter.

This action made all the elder brothers of Bella and the leaders of the Mengyuan tribe anxious.

Huang Taiji can't even manage the board anymore, who will call the shots?

No one dared to call the shots, and they didn't even dare to leave Harasan Guard City and continue fleeing north.

Harashenwei City still has a city wall, moreover, the city wall is equipped with a lot of cannons, which can support them. If they leave this place, they can't even stand up to the Ming army's iron cavalry. How can they run?
Their delay is over.

Six days later, a scout from the Shenji Battalion discovered Harashen Acropolis.

The location of the acropolis is probably in the right front of the third road in the east, and the third road in the east is only more than two hundred miles away from the middle road where Cao Bianjiao is.

When the leading guerrilla general received the news, he immediately dispatched messengers to report to Cao Bianjiao in the middle.

Cao Bianjiao was standing on the roof of a command vehicle, frowning and thinking.

The grassland in the north is so big, where will Huang Taiji go?

While he was thinking about it, the orderly galloped towards the command vehicle all the way, and directly clasped his hands and said, "Report, General, we have discovered the guard city of Harashen, and it seems that there are still people stationed inside."

Harasan Guard City?
This 200-year-old Acropolis is still there?
Of course they knew that there used to be a Harashen Acropolis here. The problem is that it was built in the Yongle Dynasty. The Acropolis like this is basically completely abandoned, just like the Acropolis over the Sea God City. None of them are intact. There is no one guarded by garrison guards.

It was for this reason that they did not go out of their way to look for Harasan Acropolis.

Unexpectedly, the Harashen Weicheng is still there, and there are still people guarding it.

It is definitely not Daming Tunwei who is stationed inside at this time.

In other words, the people stationed inside are likely to be Jiannu!
Cao Bianjiao thought for a while, and then asked, "How far is the Harashen Weicheng that you found from this place?"

The messenger said without hesitation: "It's about two hundred miles away."

well.

Cao Bianjiao immediately ordered: "Hurry up, quickly change horses, and lead the way."

After saying that, he climbed off the chariot and stepped on his mount.

Soon, he set off with more than a hundred personal guards and more than two hundred war horses.

It would actually take about two hours to gallop with a horse for a distance of more than two hundred miles, but this distance is already the limit of galloping with a horse and a man.

The reason why Cao Bianjiao brought more than two hundred war horses was to change rides. In this way, the war horses would not get tired after running for more than two hundred miles.

In about two hours, they arrived near Harasan Guard City.

The Harashen Guard City is still there!

Cao Bianjiao thought for a while, then raised his hand and said, "You are all waiting here, don't follow."

After finishing speaking, he rode his horse and carefully leaned towards the Acropolis.

About five miles away from the Acropolis, he immediately reined in his horse, raised his binoculars and scanned the city wall.

It is obvious that the elite of the Eight Banners are stationed on the city wall, and there are quite a few of them. Moreover, there are also many Hongyi cannons on the city wall.

Nine times out of ten, Huang Taiji is in it!

Thinking of this, Cao Bianjiao immediately put down the binoculars, rode his horse back to the guards, waved to the messenger and said, "Hurry up and lead the way to the place where you camped."

The messenger hurriedly led a group of people to their camp.

The campsite on the third road to the east was less than [-] miles away from Harasan Weicheng, and they arrived in about half an hour.

After Cao Bianjiao entered the chariot formation, he immediately said to his subordinates: "Hurry up, change horses, send an order, and order the four groups of people around to come and surround the city of Harashen first."

Immediately afterwards, he ordered someone to fetch a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, hurriedly wrote a memorial, and then ordered his personal guards to send it to Horqin City quickly.

This should be Jiannu's last city, and Huang Taiji most likely wants to resist in it.

Otherwise, it is impossible to have so many elites of the Eight Banners on the city wall.

Now it's all right, as long as Huang Taiji Jiannu is caught, it's all over!
