Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 156

(PS: The monthly pass is very bad, can't friends squeeze a few more for Pure Wolf?)

Relying on the great power of the rifled sniper rifle, and the correct tactics of capturing the thief first, the Horqin Tatar cavalry's first sneak attack was repelled, and the [-] cavalrymen who went out of Zhou Zhen's pass to pursue them also picked up a little bit. Xiaochei captured six people alive and beheaded more than forty people, but the crisis of the Jimen Great Wall has not passed yet.Young Master Zhang lit the beacon to call the police after the first update last night. According to the military law, the army of the nine guards of Jimen should reinforce the eighteen gates of the Great Wall of Jimen within one day, and use iron barrels to defend against the nomadic invasion—that is, In other words, even if the character of the useless generals and third-rate troops of the Nine Davids of Jimen broke out, and they arrived at the Great Wall for reinforcements on time, at least within a day, the defenses at the various gates of Jimen are still very weak. It's still hard to say.

After the six captives were captured, with the help of the torturers of the Middle East Factory, Young Master Zhang quickly obtained the information he needed urgently, and this information inevitably made Young Master Zhang even more frowning. The Great Wall at Fengkou was basically dispatched in full force, with a total force of more than [-] cavalry, and counting the distance, the main force of the Horqin Tatars may have joined forces with Huang Taiji's defeated army.With the guidance of the old fox Huang Taiji, Horqin Tatar still has a chance to turn defeat into victory.

"Master Song, where do you think the next possible gateway for the Tatars to attack should be?" Lying on the map of the Jimen defense line, Young Master Zhang nervously asked Song Xiance to provide a reference to help him analyze the possible target of Huang Taiji, and added One sentence, "Counting the pass of Yongping Mansion next to it, although my father-in-law is in charge of that section of the Great Wall, he still needs time to reinforce and adjust. If there is a problem with the pass over there, the Tatars will rush into the pass. Ordinary people will still suffer.”

"Students believe that at the marching speed of the Tatar cavalry, these are the gates they are capable of attacking within a day." Song Xiance nervously calculated the distance and distance, and drew a circle on the map with his fingers.Young Master Zhang took a closer look and found that there are seven passes that may be attacked by Tatar cavalry today, and Yongping Mansion has three. There are four passes at Jimen Great Wall, namely Panjiakou, Longjingguan, Hongshankou and Luowenyu. There are also possible catfish passes and Daankou, but the possibility is not very high.

"Trouble, the coverage is too large, and my troops are not enough, so it's impossible to cover everything?" Young Master Zhang squeezed his chin, and after a moment of calculation, Young Master Zhang shouted: "General Zhou Zhen, send me more scouts to closely monitor the Tatars. The movement of the Tartar army, at all costs, let me find out the movement of the Tatar army! Zhang Shitou, let your personal army send some people out, and bring binoculars!"

"Boss, counting the journey time, General Mangui's reinforcements should have arrived at Da'ankou by now." Song Xiance suggested: "Why don't the boss issue an order for General Mangui's reinforcements to be stationed at Luowenyu or Hongshankou? This will fill the gap. All the loopholes in our Jimen Great Wall ensure that the territory of Jimen is safe."

"That's the only way." Young Master Zhang nodded in satisfaction, and then shouted: "Also, use my honor to write a letter to Yan Mingtai, the governor of Yongping in Santunying, reminding him to take care of those who may be attacked by Tatars. Lengkou Pass. Also, if his troops are spare, I would be very grateful if he could send two or 3000 people to reinforce Jimen." When he said this, Young Master Zhang's tone was unavoidably depressed—the former Jimen The governor of the gate should also be in charge of controlling the Great Wall of Yongping Mansion, but the father-in-law Xiong Tingbi was worried about Young Master Zhang, and he insisted that the defense area of ​​Yongping Mansion should be assigned to Shanhaiguan as part of the management, so as to protect his own food road back; The mobilization of Young Master Zhang's "confidant" army also agreed to this request, and changed the location of Young Master Zhang to Jizhou instead of the Santun Camp where the former governor of Jimen was located. situation.

"Forget it, I can't chew too much, I'd better concentrate on training my slave-slaughter army first." After being depressed for a while, Young Master Zhang comforted himself, tried to calm down, and carefully analyzed the enemy's most likely next move. action taken.But at this moment, Young Master Zhang suddenly heard a strange sound, and walked out of Wangri Tower in surprise to look in the direction of the sound. Young Master Zhang couldn't help being dumbfounded, and blurted out angrily: "Mother Sun! God, you You can't play me like this? It's not too early, not too late, but at this time...?"

…………

The time shifted slightly, back to half an hour ago, and fled to the bank of the Kuan River next to Jiujuling in embarrassment. Huang Taiji's defeated army ran into the main force of the Tatar army led by Horqin Oba himself. Shan died in battle, Ouba had to caress the corpse and weep bitterly.Huang Taiji, whose shoulder was wounded by the sniper, also shed tears, and kowtowed to Auba to plead guilty: "Father-in-law, I did not fulfill my responsibility to protect the eldest prince, and I did not expect that little barbarian Zhang Haogu to be happy Fengkou, in the end, he fell into Zhang Haogu's treacherous trick again, and took the life of the eldest prince, please punish the father-in-law."

"I don't blame you, who would have imagined that that little barbarian Zhang Haogu has a musket that can shoot so far?" Auba, who had already learned what happened from Wu Keshan's personal soldiers, wiped his tears and shouted hoarsely He said: "The whole army is ordered to march towards Xifengkou, even if we can't get the barbarian's food, I will break through Xifengkou, catch Zhang Haogu's little barbarian, and avenge my son and daughter! "

"Father-in-law, calm down." Huang Taiji grabbed Auba and said anxiously: "Father-in-law, you have never seen Zhang Haogu's little barbarian defending the city so well. We were in Jinzhou before, and 13 troops surrounded Jinzhou and fought There is nothing he can do for a month, and now that he is ready, it is impossible for us to break through the Xifengkou that he personally guards in a short period of time! Moreover, Zhang Haogu, the little savage, has already lit the beacon tower to call the police. The barbarian army in the gate will rush to the Great Wall for reinforcements!"

"I don't care if he is fierce or not?" Auba shook off Huang Taiji's hand and roared, "I just want to avenge my son and daughter!"

"My lord, please be safe and don't be impatient. If you want to break through the Barbarian Great Wall, you don't have to go to the Xifengkou." Fan Wencheng jumped out again, and said flatteringly: "According to my slave's understanding, Zhang Haogu, the little barbarian, is in charge of Ji. There are eighteen gates in total in the Great Wall of China. Now Zhang Haogu's little barbarian has concentrated his heavy troops at Xifeng Pass, and the other gates are empty of troops. At least during the day today, the barbarian's reinforcements cannot reach all the gates—that is to say, Even if we can't take Xifeng Pass, we can turn around and attack other passes of the Jimen Great Wall! No matter which pass we take, the barbarian court will not spare Zhang Haogu, little barbarian—as far as I know, Zhang Haogu The little manzi was very successful at a young age, and he was very hated in the Manzi court."

"Father-in-law, I think Fan Wencheng is quite right." Huang Taiji echoed, "We will definitely not be able to take down the Guancheng guarded by Zhang Haogu, but we can easily take down other cities that have not yet received reinforcements." At the Great Wall pass, as long as we win a pass, our Mongolian iron cavalry can not only cross the Central Plains, but also cooperate with the Dajin army to attack Shanhaiguan, and let the barbarian court put Zhang Haogu barbarian in jail for malfeasance! Or even execute him!"

"Surely we won't be able to attack the city guarded by Zhang Haogu's little barbarian?" Auba heard the overtones and said angrily, "I think you were scared by Zhang Haogu's little barbarian?" Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng were speechless. Wu Yan, at present they are hiding in the Oba tribe, but they have no guts to speak against Oba - besides, what Oba said is the truth.Auba drew out his knife again, and shouted: "Since you dare not go, then get out of here. I want to see with my own eyes today, how powerful is Zhang Haogu, who makes you afraid of being such a savage?"

"Father-in-law...." Huang Taiji originally wanted to urge Auba not to be reckless, lest he lose the Horqin Tatar cavalry he had coveted for a long time.But at this moment, Huang Taiji also heard a strange sound, turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, Huang Taiji was dumbfounded at first, and then yelled ecstatically, "God help me! God help me! Zhang Haogu, You little savage have done a lot of evil, and you have received retribution today! Father-in-law, I have a solution, I have a solution...!"

The thing that made Young Master Zhang panic and ecstasy was actually the same thing, and its name was sandstorm.

When Ming Chengzu Zhu Di launched the Jingnan Campaign, he was cornered twice by Zhu Yunwen's counter-insurgency army, and was almost captured alive by Zhu Yunwen's army, but both times when he was about to fail, the sky blew up There was a sandstorm!Moreover, the direction of the two times was beneficial to Zhu Di, let his army attack with the wind, let Zhu Yunwen's army fight against the wind, let alone open his mouth, even if he opened his eyes, he couldn't do it. As a result, Zhu Di fought back twice, turning defeat into victory, and the sandstorm It almost became the lucky star of Zhu Di's army.However, the sudden sandstorm this time forced Young Master Zhang, who had inherited Zhu Di's army, into a dangerous situation similar to Zhu Yunwen's army.Fortunately, this time the wind direction is relatively fair, the wind is blowing from west to east, and Young Master Zhang has not been forced to fight against the strong wind.But the most troublesome point is that in this kind of sandstorm weather where you can't see your fingers, if Young Master Zhang wants to use scouts to scout the movement of the Tatar army, it will become an impossible task!
The wind was getting stronger and stronger. After more than half an hour, the gray-yellow sandstorm came in full force. dull.The blue sky turned yellow, and yellow sand fell.The soil and grass leaves on the ground circled and flew towards the sky. In midair, black and yellow rose up and down, and gradually mixed, forming a dark gray sand mist, covering the sun.Where the sun is, there is red in the yellow, like a salted egg yolk stripped of its white.In this environment, no matter how ingenious young master Zhang was, it was useless. He could only struggle and rush up to the wall, staring at his triangular eyes that were red, swollen and tearful from the wind and sand, and yelled, "Everyone!" Soldiers close the wall! Ready to fight!" Accidentally, a cloud of sand flew into Master Zhang's mouth, choking Master Zhang to cough for a long time, and quickly hid behind the Yu Da Zongbing, taking advantage of his huge size to avoid the strong wind.

The sand was flying all over the sky, and the sand and stones hit people's faces, causing severe pain. The tiles on the city tower kept flying up, and fell to the inside and outside of the pass, smashing them to pieces. Except for a few people, none of the soldiers of the Ming army who stood firm It wasn't that he was tossed and staggered by the strong wind, and couldn't stand steadily as if he had drunk too much wine.When the wind was at its strongest, soldiers of the Ming army, such as Young Master Zhang and Song Xiance, could only tie their bodies to arrow stacks with ropes, while holding their knives and guns tightly to guard against the Tatar army’s sneak attack under the cover of wind and sand. , while preventing myself from being blown off the wall by the strong wind. ——Only our Yu Da Zongbing, standing like a mountain in the violent wind and sand, could not wait to shout happily, "How is it? Now no one dares to laugh at me for being fat, right? Do you know the benefits of having more fat on your body? "

The sandstorm lasted for nearly three hours before it weakened slightly, and the field of vision became wider. Fortunately, Huang Taiji obviously knew that he could not attack the city guarded by Young Master Zhang, so he did not take this opportunity to attack Xifengkou, but When Young Master Zhang sent out the scouts again, he couldn't find any trace of the main force of the Tatar cavalry.As a result, the pressure on Young Master Zhang suddenly increased a hundred times—the sandstorm affected the difficulty of the Great Wall pass for reinforcements. It is almost certain that the reinforcements could reach each pass before dark, and the Tatar cavalry moved away under the cover of the sandstorm. Without a trace, I don't know where he went. Naturally, there is no way to accurately judge the next attack direction of the Tatar soldiers. This is undoubtedly a big challenge for Young Master Zhang who only has [-] combatable soldiers and [-] personal soldiers. A difficult test.

"Where did the main force of the Tatars go?" Blowing away the floating dirt on the map, Young Master Zhang once again studied the direction of the Tatars' attack - if the Tatars went with the wind, with the help of the wind, they would transfer to the Great Wall of Yongping Prefecture To the north, it must be easy to attack Lengkou Pass or even the mouth of the river before dark.However, if the Tatar army advances westward against the wind and takes advantage of the cover of wind and sand, although the marching speed will be affected, it can be moved to the vicinity of the three passes of Panjiakou, Longjingguan and Hongshankou without anyone noticing, launch a surprise attack, and easily take Go down any of the three gates with insufficient defenders.

"The messengers who went to send orders to Mangui must have been affected by the sandstorm. I don't know if the order has been sent to Mangui, and I don't know where Mangui's army is now." Young Master Zhang nervously calculated, "This In other words, the nearby Panjiakou, Longjingguan, and Hongshankou passes can only be supported by my troops. Should we divide our troops in advance now and plan ahead? Or wait and see what happens, and then raise troops for reinforcements when Tatar soldiers are found? If we don’t divide our troops in advance, the nearby Panjiakou and Longjingguan will be better, maybe we can get reinforcements in time, but if it’s Hongshan Pass, it will be troublesome, there is no way to send troops there in less than three hours..."

Although the wind and sand were much smaller, they were still blowing continuously, and the sight line was still severely obstructed. An experienced veteran was called to ask, and he said that it was estimated that it would not stop completely until night.Time passed by, and the movement of the main force of the Tatars was still not found. Young Master Zhang, who hadn't slept all night, was so nervous that he was about to break down, but the house leak happened to be raining all night. A message was sent, saying that part of the army in his hand had just been transferred to Kaiping to escort the Liaodong army with grain, grass and military pay, and the strength of the troops was not very sufficient. His Yongping Mansion Great Wall Pass was attacked, so Master Zhang must lend a helping hand and send troops for reinforcements.

"Sun! I don't have enough soldiers. How dare you ask me for help?!" Young Master Zhang tore Yan Mingtai's letter into pieces, and threw them out of the Wangri Building.Seeing the pieces of paper flying in the wind and sand, Young Master Zhang even hated Yuan Yingtai and later Wang Huazhen. Five years ago, in order for them to win the Liaodong War, the Ming court dispatched all the elites of the country to the Liaodong battlefield to hand over to them. They lost everything - and the Jimen line of defense was also the place where the troops were drawn the most. The number one elite Qi's army was transferred to Liaodong to lose it!If it wasn't for these reasons, why would Young Master Zhang be so stretched?
The sandstorm continued weakly, and when it was about to stop, it was already evening.While Young Master Zhang was still hesitating about whether to divide his troops in advance, just after the first quarter of the unitary hour, the beacon tower to the east of Xifengkou first sent a beacon signal—the Great Wall Pass of Yongping Mansion was attacked, and Yuan Yingtai asked for help from Xifengkou !Seeing the black and straight smoke, Young Master Zhang almost went crazy. He wanted to go to the rescue, but he was also afraid that this was a Tatar plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. He attacked the Yongping Mansion Pass with a small force and tricked his army to go there, while the main force took the opportunity. Attack the other gates on the Jimen side!
"My lord governor, look quickly, there is also wolf smoke in the west! The enemy has also been found at the Jimen Pass to the west of Xifengkou!" Yu Dazong was the first to point to the beacon tower in the west and screamed.Young Master Zhang turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw that the beacon tower in the west was also billowing with smoke, and the east and west sides were in emergency at the same time. Kou Bing and one thousand Zunhua soldiers, go to Yongping Mansion for rescue! The remaining main force of Xifengkou, and one thousand Zunhua soldiers, follow me to the west pass for rescue! Yu Zongbing, Xifengkou is temporarily entrusting you Already!"

"The final general obeys orders!" Zhou Zhen and Yu Dajun clasped their fists together and agreed, and each went down to arrange for the troops to dispatch.When Mr. Yu turned around, seeing Mr. Yu's obese figure that was almost spherical, Young Master Zhang's heart was shocked, and he shouted almost subconsciously: "Wait a minute, come back to me!"

"Master Zhang, what's the matter?" Zhou Zhen and Yu Dazong Bing asked inexplicably.Young Master Zhang grinned on his dusty and handsome face, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just saw Yu Zongbing's somewhat unreliable back, and I suddenly understood the real main direction of the Tatar army's attack."

"A somewhat unreliable back? Me?" Yu Dazongbing was so wronged that he almost cried, his pure heart was obviously hurt.Zhou Zhen asked pleasantly: "Master Zhang, where is the main attack direction of the Tatars? East or west?"

"It's not the east, nor the west." Young Master Zhang shook his head, tapped the ground with his toes, and said with a smirk, "The real main attack direction of the Tatars is right here, or Xifengkou."

"Or Xifengkou?" Zhou Zhen and Yu Dazongbing were dumbfounded.Young Master Zhang nodded with a smirk, and said slowly: "Huang Taiji has finally grown a little bit. With the cover of the sandstorm, I thought that his main force had shifted. I preconceived that he would go to attack other gates, and then used two lines of false troops to make me think." Thinking that there must be one false and one real, it tempted me to divide the main force to rescue and divert the tiger away from the mountain. And his main force, the real target of attack, is still Xifengkou. ——Fortunately, seeing your fearful back of Yu Da Zongbing, It made me worry about the safety of Xifengkou, and only then did I see through Huang Taiji's trick."
