Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 259 Everything is going well

The Shanhaiguan side actually saw the beacon signal earlier than the Jingshi side.

As soon as they saw the beacon signal, needless to say, everyone in Shanhaiguan knew that Jianlu was invading Gyeonggi again, and there was no doubt about it.

They were not worried about Jianlu attacking Shanhaiguan. After all, it was the first time Jianlu entered the pass, and they thought about attacking Shanhaiguan from inside the pass.But after returning home with a feather, I never thought about it again.

However, even so, they were worried.There is no other reason, the imperial court will definitely transfer the Guan Ning army to enter the customs.

However, there are only so many troops in the Guanning Army today, and there are definitely a lot of troops who built captives to enter the pass.Don't talk about it now, even when the Guan Ning army was at its peak, he didn't dare to say that he would fight to the death with Jianlu.

Just when they were in panic, they saw that the white pole army immediately began to gather.

On the side of the imperial envoy Xie Xuelong, he also immediately took out the imperial decree brought by Qin Liangyu, and dispatched Wu Sangui's cavalry army to follow the white pole army into the pass for rescue.

But it just so happened that Wu Sangui fell ill!
In this situation, Xie Xuelong didn't talk nonsense, let Qin Liangyu show his equipment, and clearly ordered Wu Sangui, either lead the army to fight, or you surrender Jianlu, there is no third way to go.

When Wu Sangui saw that there was no possibility of evasion, he was even more blinded by the equipment of the Baigan Army.It turned out that all the soldiers of the white pole army were all wearing fine steel armor. His father's guess turned out to be true!

At any rate, he is a person who has led the army for many years, so he naturally knows how much the current white-armed army's combat power will improve.He immediately thought that the Jingying and Yongwei battalions must also have these new armors, so he didn't dare to shirk any more. He recovered from his illness miraculously, and immediately led the cavalry, almost day and night, to Shanhaiguan.

At this time, the nights sent by Shanhaiguan have not accepted, and there is already a clear return of military intelligence.

It is said that Jianlu entered from Jielingkou by destroying the side wall. It is estimated that there are at least [-] people and horses, and they drove in non-stop all the way west.For the time being, the goal of Jianlu is unknown.

However, when Qin Liangyu heard it, she was determined, because it was similar to what Emperor Chongzhen told her at the beginning.

Her task is to follow and chase, just keep a distance of two to three days.

Therefore, Qin Liangyu confessed to Wu Sangui: "Your Majesty, I have to tell you personally that what you will do in the future, Wu Sangui, depends entirely on your performance this time. If you don't care about the king's affairs, your Wu family will definitely copy the family and exterminate the family before the end of the year! If you put your heart into the king's affairs, The past has been revealed!"

Hearing this, Wu Sangui still wanted to pretend to be stupid, and wanted to say that he didn't know what Qin Liangyu said, but Qin Liangyu didn't talk to him, and immediately continued: "The mission of our army is to intercept the retreating Jian captives and block them in the Guannei. Our Baigan army will be the main force to intercept, and your Guanning cavalry will report the military situation to the Marquis, and you can support it from the side."

Speaking of this, Qin Liangyu stared at Wu Sangui, and shouted sharply: "Do you understand?"

The fact that Wu Sangui was able to go to Shanhaiguan has already explained the situation.

Of course, the subsequent battle will be a very important one for Daming Club.Therefore, it is still necessary to warn Wu Sangui lest he do bad things.

At this time, Wu Sangui, from Qin Liangyu's words, heard many meanings at once. To be honest, he was very surprised.

First, the current emperor should have expected that Jianlu would enter the pass, so he had already prepared.

Second, the current emperor's appetite is so great that he even wants to encircle and wipe out the Jianlu who invaded this time in one fell swoop.Otherwise, the white pole army would not have intercepted the retreating Jianlu.It can be seen from this that the current emperor equips the Baigan Army mainly for this reason.

Third, in Qin Liangyu's words, he directly said that he was a defeated Jianlu.If it is said that others do not understand military affairs, but Qin Liangyu has fought all his life, so it is impossible for him not to know how powerful Jianlu is, but she still says that. Obviously, she also believes that the imperial court can defeat Jianlu who invaded this time.

Fourth, and what Wu Sangui deduced from the third point, the army that could defeat Jianlu could not be any other army except the Jingying and Yongweiying.And this is also confirmed by his father's speculation about Yongweiying and Jingying.

Fifth, the current emperor seems to know him like the back of his hand, which makes him feel creepy.In connection with the rumors about Emperor Taizu, Wu Sangui felt even more that he might not be able to hide anything from the current emperor.

Thinking of this, Wu Sangui was really frightened, and he didn't dare to think carefully again, so he quickly told Qin Liangyu and Xie Xuelong that he, Wu Sangui, would definitely devote himself to the king's affairs, and would never dare to be hypocritical.

In the original history, this time when the captives were invaded, the imperial court also sent an order to the Guan Ning army, asking the Guan Ning army to fight.

Wu Sangui led his men and horses to fight only when Jianlu finished looting and left the pass, but was defeated by Jianlu.The records of Jianlu's battle results: Dozens of Ming soldiers were killed, three flags were won, 29 patrol soldiers, and more than 200 horses.

From this, we can know that, let alone whether Jianlu exaggerated the results of the battle, this alone is enough to show that the Guan Ning army did not fight to the death, but just dealt with it.

The same is true, Qin Liangyu reprimanded Wu Sangui based on the results informed by Liu Weichao on Emperor Chongzhen's side.

In the end, Qin Liangyu led [-] white-armed troops into the pass and pursued Jianlu along the Great Wall.And Wu Sangui led the three thousand Guan Ning cavalry army, as the support of the Baigan army, covering the front and back, and also set off together.

………………

Let's talk about Jianlu's side, Aixinjueluo Abate led the main force along the way, destroying Jieling Pass and entering the pass.

Compared with the previous several times of entering the customs, except for the rapid fire of the Ming army's beacon fire, there is nothing unusual about it.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Ming army who were captured were also tortured by Jianlu about the situation in the pass.

The news he got was similar to what Jianlu had expected, and there seemed to be nothing special in the pass.

It's not that the bones of those outpost Ming army soldiers are hard, but that they really only know what they know.

The communication of this period cannot be compared with that of later generations.On the Great Wall, the soldiers of the Ming army at the pass are active all day long, that is, within their own one-acre three-point land.If it wasn't for the order from the capital, they wouldn't have known more.

As for the layout of Emperor Chongzhen this time, it is obviously impossible to inform these soldiers at the border.

In fact, only the two commanders in Jizhou knew about the Jianlu invasion.Including the chief officials of the local state capitals, they were actually not aware of the Jianlu invasion.All they can know is that the imperial court inspects the city defense.

So, after getting the news and verifying it, Abate gave an order with confidence, and the whole army rushed westward immediately.

In fact, it was just a matter of business to catch the news of the torture of the soldiers of the Ming army.No one in Jianlu, including the accomplices of the Mongolian Tartars, thought that the situation in the pass would change drastically.

In the Battle of Songjin, the 12 Ming army was wiped out.Hong Chengchou, the commander-in-chief of Jiliao and Governor-General Hong Chengchou, surrendered, and also fully revealed the truth and falsehood in the pass.

At this time, the Jianlu already "knew" that the Ming army in Guannei had no mobile power, and even some of the only troops were restrained by the bandits, making trouble in the Central Plains and the South.

Under such circumstances, in just over half a year, even if someone tipped Jianlu that there was a strong Ming army waiting for Jianlu to enter the customs, no one would believe it.

It is also because Jianlu is very "clear" about the reality of the Ming army in the pass, so they set the target of looting in Ludi.In this way, Jianlu will not meet with the thieves. If you trouble yourself, I will steal mine. The unlucky one is only the Ming Dynasty court.

In this way, Jianlu and Mongolian Tartars rushed west all the way.Everyone was so excited that they wanted to get rid of the Ming army in Jizhou as soon as possible, so that they could boldly go deep into the pass to plunder.

During this process, there were also some Mongol tartars who wanted to attack the Ming cities along the way, such as Qian'an.

However, what surprised them was that these cities were strictly guarded and had no intention of surrendering.

The Mongolian Tartars have nothing to do about this, unless they let the artillery from the Eight Banners of the Han Army bombard the city, or they can only stare blankly.

In this regard, Abatai's military order was passed down, which made the Mongolian Tartars a little promising.These border towns in the Ming Dynasty have long run out of money in the repeated looting.Rather than being wasted here, it is better to get rid of the Ming army in Jizhou first, and then go to the rich places in the Ming country to plunder, that is the big deal.

After hearing this, the Mongolian Tatars also felt that it made sense, so they ignored the towns along the way.Of course, even if there are no one in those villages, they will visit them to see if there are any rags to pick up.Before leaving, there was another fire.

In short, after the Jianlu and Mongolian Tartars passed, everything was in ruins.Even worse than locusts, at least locusts don't set fire to houses.

During this process, Jianlu did not fail to discover abnormalities.At least the Jianlu after the breakup will be rewarded, saying that the cavalry of the Guanning Army are hanging behind them.

Regarding this, Abatai and others also ignored it.Since entering the customs several times, the Ming army has hung behind them, so there should not be too many such things.Basically, it was all due to the pressure of their imperial court, and they didn't work hard, and they didn't dare to really fight with the Qing army!

In the past, Azig often mentioned that when he led troops into the customs to plunder, before leaving, he put up a sign saying "Ming army free" to those Ming soldiers who hung behind him.

Just like that, Abatai and his group hurried westward all the way, as if they were being destroyed, no Ming army dared to stop them, and they killed the city of Jizhou in one go.

On the second day after arriving in Jizhou City, the West Route Army also rushed into the pass from Miyun, and joined forces with the East Route Army. The 10,000+ army surrounded Jizhou City in one fell swoop.

On Turg's side, he also informed Abatai about his journey.The Ming army in the west did not dare to fight at all.

That said, everything was as expected.

Therefore, Abatai immediately ordered Kong Youde's artillery troops to prepare, and if Jizhou City did not surrender, the city would be destroyed and slaughtered!
