Borrow the day to change the day

() Jizhen General Army Mansion was originally set up in Santun Camp, and the Jizhen General Army was led by Zhao, but at this time it had been sealed by General Liao and moved to Shanhaiguan.The head of Santunying is Zhu Guoyan, the new general.

It's the third watch of the day, and Zhu Guoyan is still drunk.When the news of the Tartar invasion arrived, he was woken up by his confidant servant.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Guoyan broke into a cold sweat, woke up from the wine, and stopped falling asleep. He hurried to the lobby to ask the summoning soldiers for details: "It can be seen what is the level of the beacon signal?"

"The flames go out as soon as they rise, before confirming the level."

Could it be that the Tartars invaded on a large scale?But the Mongol Duoyan tribe in Guankou just talked about it, don't you have the guts to gather all the tribes to commit crimes?Could it be that he accidentally walked into the water? This is not a child's play.

Zhu Guoyan thought about it, but couldn't figure it out clearly, and was about to order another investigation.There was a commotion outside the door, and soon, someone broke in.

Before Zhu Guoyan could see clearly, he heard someone say in panic: "Jianlu, Jianlu Tartars, invaded massively."

Zhu Guoyan took a closer look, and it turned out to be Longjingguan guerrilla Wang Chunchen, wearing only thin clothes, but with a bright helmet on his head and his face covered with sweat.

"What, Jianlu Tartar? See it clearly?" Zhu Guoyan asked whether Wang Chunchen was cold or hot in this winter.

"Yes, yes, Jianlu Tartars, there are many, many, sneak attack in the early morning."

"How much?"

In fact, Wang Chunchen didn't even have time to see how many Tartars there were. Anyway, Longjing Pass was lost, so he should report more.So he said, "Probably, there are about four or five thousand."

Zhu Guoyan looked at Wang Chunchen's appearance, and thought to himself, this guy might have come out in his sleep, one of the outer beacon towers hadn't been lit, and there were a lot of people, and the Jianlu Tartars came to attack from afar, probably more than four or five thousand people number.

Thinking of this, he quickly sent an order to report to the rear, and sent a beacon message according to the number of tens of thousands of Tartars.

At this moment, the commotion outside the mansion became louder and louder, and Zhu Guoyan heard it.Let the soldiers go out and check.

After a while, the soldiers reported that the people in the city heard that the Jian captives were attacking, and they were packing up their belongings and leaving the city to flee to the rear.

That's okay, Zhu Guoyan didn't talk to Wang Chunchen anymore, but said to him viciously before leaving: "You did a good job!" Then he ordered the city gate to be closed, and the soldiers in the battalion gathered at the martial arts parade, ready to go to the city to guard .I also hurried to put on my clothes.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the martial arts parade, I found that only two-quarters of the soldiers had assembled. Didn't I only eat a quarter of the empty salary? Why is it so much less?At this time, the subordinates came down to report that the soldiers who had not arrived, heard that the Jian captives were attacking, and slipped away among the people.

Zhu Guoyan was very helpless, and led the team to the city wall.It was found that the people dragging their sons and daughters blocked the streets near the city gate.He used a whip to open the way before he boarded the city wall, and found that some people who were quick to see the opportunity had already escaped from the city.Zhu Guoyan could only pay attention and see him off.

Zhu Guoyan encouraged the soldiers on the city wall, and was about to go back to call the officers under him for a meeting. Suddenly, he found that the people who had gone away ran back again. Could it be that his conscience discovered that he wanted to tide over the crisis with the general?

When I got closer, I realized that the common people were all running back crying for their fathers and mothers, and there was a large group of Jianlu Tartars chasing after them on horseback. Be their cattle and sheep for grazing.

Those who were weak in stamina ran slowly and went down with a knife. When they saw a few smart ones who wanted to run away from the brigade, they shot at them and drove their "cattle and sheep" towards the city gate.

When they were about an arrow-shot away from the city wall, the Jianlu Tartars scattered and surrounded the common people, laughing at the terrified common people surrounded inside.

One of the cavalrymen, who looked like a leader, turned around and walked a few steps towards the city wall, then said something in a babble, but no one could understand it anyway.

Then the man turned around and gave an order, and the remaining Jianlu Tartars scattered into a big circle, and began to shoot arrows at the crowd inside, as if chatting with friends at home, while shooting a target to compete with arrows, those ordinary people No matter the old or weak, women or children, they are all like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Even crying and begging for mercy is of no avail.

However, the group of Jianlu Tartars did not give up, and began to accelerate on horseback, trampling down on the common people on the ground.They played recklessly, as if they didn't care about the Ming army in the city at all.

There was no sound on the city wall, and no one fired arrows or cannons. They just watched the human tragedy outside the city, either nervous or petrified.

Finally, the group of Jianlu Tartars got off their horses to search for the corpses, and pulled back the arrows that could be used. Occasionally, one or two Tartars could be seen cheering, as if they had found something good.

In the end, the Jianlu Tartars left without haste.Some even threw a few heads towards the city wall before leaving.

Zhu Guoyan was terrified by this group of Jianlu Tartars. He had only heard about the ferocity and warlikeness of Jianlu Tartars before, but now he really saw such a sturdy Tartars, unscrupulous and outrageously cruel under the enemy's wall. It shows his psychological qualities on the battlefield, which are only available to veterans who often kill, and they are veterans who often win battles.His subordinates simply don't have the ability to fight against him, not even the most elite servants.

Zhu Guoyan looked at the direction where Jianlu was going away, and quickly ordered to block the door with stones and stand firm for help.

In the next two days, the Jianlu Tartars often came to perform in groups, immediately juggling, shooting arrows, etc., to show their abilities, and then roared away.

In the end, Zhu Guoyan ordered the city gates to be completely blocked, and the fighting continued, so there was no need to think about opening the gates.

On October [-]th, Pingliao General Zhao Lediao, styled Xilong and nicknamed Mingshan, was asking for instructions at Yuan Chonghuan's mansion after receiving a summons from the beacon fire.Because he belongs to Yuan Jie.

When Yuan Chonghuan heard the report, he thought it was impossible. When did the Mongolian Tatars have the courage to entangle tens of thousands of people to knock on the customs.To say that the only one with this ability is Jianlu, but it is reported that Jianlu is currently appearing on the front line of Jinzhou, so it is impossible.

Zhao Lengjiao said: "Master, I heard that the Holy Majesty had ordered the Governor of Shuntian Youqian Capital Yushi Wang Yuanya to strengthen his defenses to prevent Jianlu from breaking through his defense line. If Jianlu really broke through from him Entering, the Holy Admiral ordered Wang Yuanya to stick to Zunhua, and recruited the whole army to fight against Jianlu in Zunhua. At the same time, he sent me to go straight to Shenyang. Do you think Jianlu really made a detour to attack?"

Yuan Chonghuan pondered for a while, and said: "I also heard such rumors before. However, Jianlu attacked Jinzhou; now he is haunting outside Jinzhou City. There is a possibility that Jianlu will attack by detour, but it is not great. Let me think about it again. .”

"Could it be that Jianlu also heard about the plan of the Holy Majesty, and felt that he could make a detour, and instead reminded Jianlu?"

"No, I am stationed on the front line of Ningjin, and it is difficult for the news to reach Jianlu in a short time." Yuan Chonghuan said firmly.It's a pity, what he didn't know was that the Han Jian in the department happened to pass the news to him, and they were still plotting against him.

At this moment, the guards at the gate came to report the imperial decree of the capital.

Yuan Chonghuan and Zhao Ratejiao looked at each other, is it really Jianlu?

Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen said in the imperial decree that Zunhua, Santunying was attacked by the main forces of Jianlu and was in danger. Yuan Chonghuan was required to lead the main force of Guanning to rescue without delay.

After receiving the imperial decree, Yuan Chonghuan never doubted the authenticity of the eunuch who delivered the decree, because there was nothing unusual about the eunuch's words, deeds, and identity tokens, including the imperial decree. Capture the main force. (Generally, no one would estimate that eunuchs who are familiar with palace affairs would help Jianlu to pass on imperial edicts.)

The eunuch who passed the decree explained it to Emperor Chongzhen. It is said that it was about a friend from Outer Mongolia who met the main force of Jianlu and went to Xifengkou.So know in advance.As for Zunhua, the Ming army in the Santun camp is weak in winter combat capabilities, and is obviously not an opponent of the main force of Jianlu, so the supervisor should go to the rescue to ensure the safety of the capital.

Sending away the eunuch who delivered the decree, Yuan Chonghuan realized in his heart that the imperial decree of the Holy Majesty this time was different from what had been rumored before.The key lies in whether Zunhua can hold on.It seems that now he is worried that Zunhua will not be able to keep it, so he changed his strategy and asked himself to go to the rescue.

If Zunhua falls, the land of Gyeonggi will be under Jianlu’s horseshoe. There are still Jianlu on the front line of Jinzhou. Even if you want to go straight to Shenyang, you have to weigh whether to beat Jianlu. The first line is the truth, so if you want to go straight to Shenyang, it is tantamount to sending the meat to Jianlu's mouth.No, it's better to save Zunhua, and you don't have to worry about being drowned by the officer's saliva.

Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan made a decision and said to Zhao Ledjiao: "Mingshan, the governor ordered you to lead 4000 cavalry from the headquarters to help Zunhua and the front line of the Santun camp at starry night. It is best to enter the city for defense. Arrive, attack Jianlu from inside and outside."

Zhao led the order and was about to leave when he was stopped by Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan asked Zhao led with a little worry: "Ming Shan, running around starry night, can your body take it?"

Zhao Lijiao was not happy when he heard this: "Master, don't underestimate me. Although I am over sixty years old, it is easy to ride a horse and wear armor. A man should be proud of being shrouded in horse leather in the world."

So, Zhao led the teacher to leave.

It would be an unprecedented victory if the [-] main forces of Jianlu knocked down the pass could be wiped out.But the Jianlu Tartars are extremely powerful, and if they want to eat [-] Jianlu, they have to use all their main force.Yuan Chonghuan thought of this and began to calculate the strength of the troops at hand. Ning Jin also had to defend the front line, but as long as there was enough food and grass in the city, only infantry could defend it.As for the Jianlu in the pass, it would be troublesome if they fled around, and they had to use cavalry against cavalry.The only solution for now is to gather all Guanning iron cavalry.Zhao led [-] cavalry to support him, so there should be enough time to gather.

Thinking of this, Yuan Chonghuan began to send orders to deliver grain and grass to Guanning and Jinzhou, and to gather cavalry.The sooner you ask, the better.

Besides, as soon as the eunuch passing the decree left, he immediately changed his appearance in the land of no one, and went to Fan Yongdou's secret residence in Shanhaiguan to report to Yuan Chonghuan that he had received the decree.

Because this matter was extremely important, the person in charge of the secret station was Fan Yongdou himself. After arranging for the eunuch to leave, Fan Yongdou was still not at ease, and sent someone to inquire about the news to see if there was any sign of army mobilization.

After getting the real news, Fan Yongdou was overjoyed, and immediately sent someone to hurry up and send the news to Huang Taiji.

Zhao Lijiao didn't just walk away, he needed to assemble troops, arrange food and grass, etc. Naturally, he couldn't compare to Fan Yongdou's speed of sending people to deliver letters.This time he went, he really fulfilled the wish of "shrouded in horse leather".
