Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 780 The Tigress Is Back

At this time, the most noticeable thing in the vicinity of Hami was not the battle that was about to start, but the dozen or so pawns riding Cyclonus.

Whether it was the cavalry army of Zhungeer or the soldiers of the Ming army in Hami, they all looked at them with curiosity and moved slowly with their figures.

As these cavalry galloped past, the Jungar cavalry in the east of Hami could not help but whisper, guessing what happened?Although their leader was curious, he immediately reprimanded them loudly and ordered them not to whisper to each other.Because when I speak at this time, none of my words are positive.

After passing Hami City, when the galloping cavalry rushed to the banner of King Khan of the Zhungeer tribe, the soldiers of the Ming army couldn't help discussing with each other.

Each of them had surprise and surprise on their faces, guessing and encouraging.

"These must be the sentries of Zhun Geer's Department. Could it be that our reinforcements have arrived, and they rushed back in such a hurry!"

"It must be, otherwise, what else can make them anxious like dogs at this time?"

"I didn't say it, our reinforcements will arrive soon, it must be like this. Lord Zhongcheng has said, let us stick to it and wait for reinforcements. No, the imperial reinforcements are coming soon!"

"..."

Although many people think that it is impossible for the imperial army to arrive so soon, these sentries from the Zhungeer Department are so eager to come back, and there are other things that may not be certain.However, even if they had this idea, they didn't say it out. All they could say was that reinforcements were coming.

After the news spread, even those powerless soldiers of the Ming army who were lying there leaning against the wall seemed to have no idea where their strength came from. Many people stood up and stretched their necks to look east. .

Lu Daqi on the roof, of course, also saw the movement of Zhungeer's sentry, but he didn't even look east.He knew better than anyone else that if he calculated the time, Governor Hong would definitely not be able to get here so quickly if he led the rear army.The abnormality of these Jungar sentinels is probably due to something else.

Although he thought so, he didn't say anything. Seeing that the morale of his soldiers was getting a little higher, this was a good thing.

Just like that, although many people in the Ming army actually believed that reinforcements could not arrive so soon, no one was willing to expose this. Instead, they told each other that reinforcements were coming.

In the distance, Baturhui looked at the speeding sentinels with a gloomy look on his face, without saying a word.He wanted to know what was it that made his sentinels so urgent?

I saw that when these sentries reached the king's banner not far away, the horses rolled off the saddle before they stopped. The horse ran over, and the man knelt down to salute, and said eagerly: "King Khan, it's not good, the horsemen of Ming Dynasty The army is here for reinforcements, less than twenty miles away!"

Baturhun always believed that it was impossible for the Ming army to reinforce so quickly. However, things backfired. He did not expect that what the sentry reported was exactly the news he was least willing to hear. Suddenly, his face changed, and he ordered it to rain In general, he asked sharply, "How many Ming troops?"

Asking like this, I was thinking in my heart, maybe it was just an outpost of the Ming army, and it couldn't be the main force of the Ming army, right?

"Overwhelming, at least ten thousand!"

"What?" Baturhui was startled when he heard it, and his body shook, as if the news hit him like a real punch, "You can see clearly, it won't be from the Ming army. Doubtful strategy?"

Throughout history, not only the Central Plains dynasties can do it, but also the peoples outside the Great Wall often have the strategy of empty troops.It is not difficult to do this, the dust raised by the horse's tail can achieve this effect.

"King Hui Khan, it is definitely not a false soldier. The subordinates see it very clearly, and there will be no mistakes!" The sentinel immediately replied in a decisive tone, "In order to rush back to deliver the letter, all the subordinates' preparation horses have been abandoned. gone."

That's right, these scouts now have no spare horses when they come back.

However, Baturhui really couldn't figure it out. There are so many Ming troops, logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible to come to reinforce them so quickly!This is absolutely impossible!
Thinking of this in his heart, he raised his head and looked at the city of Hami, where there were [-] Ming troops, who could be slaughtered at the sight of them!

At this time, Baturhui was very unwilling.When he was hesitating, his face suddenly changed obviously, because he vaguely felt that the ground seemed to be trembling.Although it is not obvious, after all, he is very familiar with the signs of a large number of cavalry galloping.

This time, he didn't need to question any more, he already knew that the answer was definitely not wrong.

Not reconciled, very not reconciled!

Baturhun looked at Hami's Ming army and suddenly looked up to the sky wolf and howled. He could feel blood dripping from him, just like the wounded wolf king.

After spending so much time and effort, the loss was not small. Seeing that the little tiger was finally about to eat it, he found that the tigress had returned.

At this time, it is useless to say anything.

Baturhun reined in the reins, turned around the pier, clamped the horse's belly unwillingly, and ran westward.

Seeing the movement of the king's flag, and following the passing of the military order, the other soldiers of the Zhungeer tribe saw that even if they were as unwilling as their leaders, they had no choice but to flee westward in despair with their tails between their legs.

If it was later in the evening and was bitten by Ming reinforcements, it would definitely be over.

No, when the Zhungeer cavalry army in the east of Hami started to withdraw, they could already see a red line appearing far to the east, and the shaking of the ground was already very obvious.Faint thunder came from the sky.

"Drive, drive..." All the cavalry troops of the Zhungeer tribe shouted, scrambling to be the first, bypassing the city of Hami, and rushing westward.

The soldiers of the Ming army in Hami City saw that the Zhungeer cavalry did not attack but fled westward, so they all realized that reinforcements must have arrived.

To be honest, when they realized this, none of them could believe it: did the reinforcements really come?Do you really have to wait for reinforcements?

They were not the only ones, or even more shocking than them was Gansu Governor Lu Daqi.He struggled to stand up on the roof, turned and looked east.Sure enough, I saw a red line coming towards Hami.What else could it be if it wasn't army reinforcements?
At this moment, he was stunned, and there was only one thought left in his mind: "How could Governor Hong come so quickly?"

After being silent for a while, there was a sudden explosion of cheers in the city of Hami.

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

Weeping with joy, the soldiers of the Ming army approached the top of the city one after another, looked to the east, waved the weapons in their hands, and greeted their comrades.

At this time, the reinforcements were already close, and the soldiers of the Ming army in Hami could see clearly.Countless comrades, riding horses, galloped majestically.

At this moment, I really feel extremely cordial!
The reinforcements did not stop when they arrived at Hami. Instead, they bypassed Hami, rolled forward, and continued to pursue the Jungar cavalry who fled west.Just when passing by Hami, they would stand up and wave to their colleagues in Hami!

Seeing countless cavalry passing by, even if Lu Daqi didn't believe it, he knew that the main force of Governor Hong had arrived.Such a fast speed surprised him very much.

But the surprise was the surprise. At this time, he didn't know where the strength came from, and he kept standing on the roof, regardless of the dust rolled up by the cavalry covering Hami, and kept shaving his white beard and giggling.

If this was changed to before, even if he was killed, he would have such a gaffe!
After about [-] cavalry troops galloped past, less than half an hour later, more than [-] Ming cavalry troops appeared in the east.A handsome flag with the word "Hong" fluttering in the wind indicated that Hong Chengchou had arrived.

Seeing this, Lu Daqi was even more surprised. Even Governor Hong has arrived?It's just incredible!

But even though he was a bit puzzled, he immediately led Hami's men to the east of Hami to meet Hong Chengchou.At this time, this is the only way to go, and there is no way to go further.

This cavalry army did not continue to pursue westward, but stopped when it reached Hami.

Hong Chengchou was also dressed in military uniform. He rode into Hami and saw that he was barely standing to greet him. There were even many soldiers of the Ming army sitting there with their backs against the wall to greet him. Overwhelmed.

"See you, Governor!" Led by Lu Daqi, the soldiers of the Ming army greeted Governor Hong with joy and gratitude.

Hong Chengchou didn't have any pretensions. Seeing this situation, he turned over and got off his horse. Unexpectedly, he didn't stand still. He shook his body a little before he stood still. Obviously it was because he had been riding for too long.

He didn't care about this, walked towards Lu Daqi, said with a smile: "It seems that the official is not late at all!"

Lu Daqi also laughed, and said with a bit of shame: "The lower officials are incompetent, almost wiped out the whole army, I am really ashamed of the whole army and the emperor!"

"I didn't expect that this Zhungeer tribe would be so cunning. Instead of running away, they came to attack. How audacious!" Hong Chengchou said with a smile. He told the truth and relieved Lu Daqi's guilt. At the same time, he extended his hand. He helped Lu Daqi up.

"The governor is too modest!" Lu Daqi heard this, and said sincerely, "If the governor hadn't expected it, how could he come to the rescue so quickly. Seriously, the lower officials really thought they were going to the Martyr's Shrine!"

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.The reason why he arrived so quickly and was able to save the forward troops in time was not because he expected this situation later, but because he knew that Emperor Chongzhen had already left the capital to join him.

He didn't want to wait for the emperor to arrive, otherwise he wouldn't be able to achieve results.Therefore, he hurriedly and slowly hurried along the way, urging the army to march continuously, so that he could get away from the emperor and rendezvous as late as possible.As a result, the trip was many days earlier than originally expected.

Sometimes, it is really a little change, which often has a big impact.Just like Emperor Chongzhen's imperial expedition this time!
