The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 210 Test each other
"Hey, Wu Sangui, that idiot, and that Tang Tong are so stupid as pigs, they let someone sneak attack Xiangyang under his nose, damn it, a bunch of trash!"

Zhu Cihong slapped the battle report on the table heavily, and the veins on his forehead bulged out.

"What? Xiangyang was captured by bandits, how is this possible?"

Seeing the little emperor jumping into a rage, the red lady also dropped her jaw in shock, then picked up the battle report and read it.

"This Wu Sangui is really extremely incompetent. Your Majesty can let him stick to it. He wants to procrastinate on his own. He wants to encircle and suppress him. Now he has shot himself in the foot with a stone. He must be severely punished!"

After reading it, Hong Niangzi couldn't help cursing.

Although she no longer cared about the past, her dislike for Wu Sangui would not diminish.

"Punishment must be punished, but severe punishment is not necessary. Although that guy is a bit self-assertive, the strategy of encircling and annihilating is still no problem. It's just that he doesn't know much about the bandit army, so he was negligent for a while."

Zhu Cihong also calmed down, waved his hands and said.

Originally, according to his intention, Wu Sangui's former army was stationed directly outside Luoyang City, and Gao Jie in the city had each other's horns. They did not give the other side any chance and let them attack.

However, the order he gave Wu Sangui at the beginning did not have specific explanations, and because of the training of the generals who commanded the army, he did not interfere too much, but only determined the big strategy and let him play.

Who would have thought that Sun Kewang would take advantage of a slight loophole.

"Your Majesty, judging by Dorgon's posture, he probably won't take the initiative to attack, or let the concubines preside over the war in the south?"

Hong Niangzi thought about it and tried to speak.

At the beginning, he was worried about the little emperor, fearing that he would suffer from his inexperience, but now he is completely relieved, and since Jiannu has been slow to move, he naturally wants to deal with King Chuang, Niu Jinxing, and Song Xiance himself.

"Okay, but after the intruders are wiped out, the concubine will come back. Let Wu Sangui attack the Eight Great Kings of the Southwest, otherwise it will easily damage his confidence."

Zhu Cihong also understood that she wanted to avenge Li Yan herself, so she nodded and decided to fulfill her, anyway, if she dies, she won't fight, and even if Nador rolls, she won't be able to play well.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The red lady was just trying it out, but she didn't expect the little emperor to really agree, and her eyes turned red.

"Okay, my concubine, there is no need to say anything between us, go and come back quickly."

Zhu Cihong comforted him, and he wished that the red lady would avenge Li Yan quickly, complete the relationship between husband and wife, and follow him wholeheartedly from now on.

"Well, the concubine will go south tomorrow. Your Majesty must remember that you must not rush to a decisive battle with Jiannu, and don't divide your troops to pursue it. If Jiannu takes a detour to attack Tumote's troops..."

The red lady hummed, and then began to chatter about telling him, the more she said, the more guilty she felt in her heart, the more she felt that she should stay by his side at this time.

"My concubine, don't worry. Although I haven't fought a war, my defense is still more than enough, not to mention Huang Degong, the British Duke and the others."

Zhu Cihong said confidently that if he was asked to take the initiative to take the initiative to conquer Jiannu or Mongolia, he might still feel a little guilty, but he was not worried at all when he stayed in the camp.

The next day, Hong Niangzi returned to Xuanfu with more than a thousand cavalry.

Three days later, Duo Ergun learned the news that Hong Niangzi had left the Ming army camp and was heading south, and his mind immediately became active.

"Sir, the red lady suddenly went south. There must be an accident in the war in the south. The little emperor has never led an army in battle, and the British prince is an idiot. Although Huang Degong is a good general, he has no handsome talent. This is a golden opportunity! "

"Well, you can really try it out. You can send [-] cavalry to make a detour to Tumed's troops, and see how the little emperor responds."

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and pondered for a while.

Obviously also think that Zhu Cihong has never fought a war, so he can test the depth first.

Two days later, a hundred thousand cavalrymen gathered in the long-quiet Jiannu camp, and marched toward the northwest in mighty force.

Zhu Cihong just sneered at this and ignored it at all.

He really bullied him as a recruit, thinking that a hundred thousand cavalry would scare him into a panic.

Sure enough, seeing that the Ming army did not respond, Dorgun and Hong Chengchou frowned slightly, but they did not call back the cavalry, but let the cavalry continue to detour westward.

It was not until the opponent's cavalry bypassed the big camp that Zhu Cihong ordered the southern camp to move forward [-] miles, the next day he ordered the northern camp to move forward [-] miles, and the third day the Chinese army camp moved forward [-] miles. In one fell swoop, they were within seventy miles of the slave camp.

Seeing that the Ming army was indeed coming, and there were countless chariots, Duo Ergun also ordered the whole army to move the camp and retreat for [-] miles, keeping a safe distance from the Ming army.

Zhu Cihong continued to press forward, while Jiannu kept retreating to the northeast. After retreating three times, Dorgon finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Sir, we can't retreat anymore. The cavalry is already a hundred and five miles away from the camp. If we retreat again, the Ming army will definitely launch a surprise attack. Without the cover of the cavalry, the infantry may be difficult to stop. Once the camp is breached , that's the end."

"Then let the cavalry stop advancing, and see if the little emperor will continue to press forward tomorrow. If he continues to press forward, let's see if we can lure him to the east of the Liao River."

Hong Chengchou also knew that the cavalry sent out could no longer keep a distance from the camp, otherwise it would be playing with fire.

For a hundred miles, the Ming army was covered by chariots, and they could have killed them in two days, so the cavalry had to stay within two days of the camp.

Otherwise, it is impossible to stop the Ming army from attacking the camp.

Jiannu's cavalry did not move further west, nor did Zhu Cihong press eastward, and also stopped.

The lure plan failed, Dorgun and Hong Chengchou were disappointed, and knew that the little emperor was not easy to deal with, but they still chose to retreat 130 miles again, a full [-] miles away from the Ming army.

Zhu Cihong was also unmoved. Seeing this, Hong Chengchou asked Dorgon to order [-] cavalry to continue moving westward.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiannu's cavalry moved westward, Zhu Cihong continued to press eastward. Although the camps of the two armies were separated by a distance of 130 miles, the [-] cavalry sent by Jiannu and them also reached nearly [-]. miles away.

This put Hong Chengchou and Doer Gun in a dilemma for a while. Although it continued like this, the Ming army could be led to the east of the Liaohe River, but it would inevitably lead to the inability of [-] cavalry to support them.

In the end, Dorgun decided to continue to retreat, and the cavalry continued to move west. After all, the speed of the cavalry's return to reinforcements was much faster than that of the infantry.

In this way, the two sides kept retreating and pressing forward, getting farther and farther away from Xuanfu, and closer and closer to Liaohe.
