Chapter 174 The Battle of Liwei!
On June 5, the quarrel in the Beijing court continued, but it was not peaceful outside the pass.
First, eighty miles northeast of Yuanshangdu City, a group of yurts gathered and were slaughtered.
The men were killed, the children were thrown into the pot and cooked, and the women were dragged into yurts for people to vent.
This army came very quickly and suddenly. After leaving blood and bones here, they quickly headed south.
This army was the 5,000 elite Eight Banners led by Dorgon.
Don't look at him only 5,000 people.
If we really need to fight in the field, these 5,000 people can defeat tens of thousands of Ming army border troops.
And he can fight more than three times the number of Mongolian cavalry.
The combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners in the late Ming Dynasty was not a joke, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the most powerful field troops in Asia.
After sweeping and replenishing a wave of food, the Eight Banners rushed towards Yuan Shangdu City like wolves.
At noon, Dorgon's army arrived at the Yuan Shangdu City.
When Dorgon arrived, Wan Danwei's heart suddenly calmed down.
At present, he only had more than 10,000 soldiers in his hands, and he lost a large number of them when he attacked Yuanshang Capital.
At present, the Eight Banners of Jiannu are coming. Although there are only 5,000 people, he still feels under great pressure.
Moreover, the letter of help written to the Ming Dynasty did not respond!
It seems that I have to defend the city!
If he defended Yuan Shangdu City to the death, as long as Dorgon could not fight in, he would withdraw his troops sooner or later. After all, he was also a hard-working army to go on an expedition.
In the afternoon of that day, Dorgon ordered the siege of the city.
The so-called siege is to siege the city on three sides, leaving one side for the enemy to take chances.
While making full preparations to defend the city, Wan Danweizheng sent people out to negotiate with Dorgon, expressing his willingness to surrender to Huang Taiji.
But he sent people out of the city to send letters of help to the Ming Dynasty.
However, his cleverness cannot be hidden from Dorgon. In the afternoon, Dorgon made a special explanation to his subordinates that he should not stop any fast horses coming out of the city.
Why not stop?
Because Dorgon was waiting for the Ming Dynasty to rescue.
He believed that as long as the Ming army dared to come, he could press the Ming army to the ground and rub it back and forth!
The news that Dorgon's army arrived at the Yuan Shangdu City soon reached Zhangjiakou, and Hong Chengchou found out.
Not only Hong Chengchou knew, but also Sun Chuanting at Gubeikou.
Not only did they know, but also Gurusiqibu and others also knew about Shu Bu's escape from Yuanshang Capital.
When these people heard that Dorgon had come, they were immediately ecstatic and rushed to Yuanshang Capital with the remaining soldiers.
Early the next morning, the group rushed outside the Yuan Shangdu City to meet with Dorgon.
Shu Bu turned over and dismounted and said, "I am in charge of my uncle, please see Mr. Beile!"
"Taiji, Shu Bu, you are really a coward!" The young and energetic Dorgon attacked Shu Bu without mercy. "You are driven out by your younger brother, you really don't let the Khan worry."
Even if the younger generation said this in front of him, Shu Bu’s face was blue and white.
Gurusiqi preached: "Belle, the traitor of Wandanweizheng received support from the leaders of other tribes! He also received support from the Ming Dynasty!"
Dorgon said coldly: "You can quickly rectify the troops and get in. Don't make any mistakes, otherwise don't blame me for turning against others."
Everyone hurriedly said, "Yes!"
After everyone left the tent, Jin Li stayed.
"Of course Beile, the rebellion of the Kalaqin tribe was completely instigated by the Ming Dynasty."
“So what?”
"I am worried about the humble position, and the Ming Dynasty had ulterior motives."
"The Ming Dynasty could not just want to use the Mongols to deal with us." Dorgon laughed, "That's what they thought about in the Battle of Guangning nine years ago, but what's the result?"
As a result, the Ming Dynasty was released by Lin Danhan.
Dorgon knew deeply that in this era, in order to establish a solid and stable alliance relationship, he had to rely on the knife in his hand to kill them and they would be blamed.
For example, this time, we can take advantage of this opportunity to teach the Mongols of the Kalaqin tribe and establish authority for the Mongols such as the Tumote tribe and the Ordos tribe.
Dorgon thought so, and Huang Taiji naturally thought so too.
Zhang Chen in the Forbidden City also thought so.
This is a battle for battle and a battle to establish authority!
Early the next morning, Hong Chengchou, who was waiting for an opportunity in Zhangjiakou, moved.
That's right, Hong Chengchou moved.
He rectified the good people and left Zhangjiakou.
Hong Chengchou obviously had some confidence in the war to pacify Gao Yingxiang, so this time he came and came out.
However, this is not exactly the case.
Hong Chengchou's army is very well-equipped.
Everyone has iron armor, and it is very strong fish scale armor, and they are equipped with sharp large spears and slashing sabers.
Moreover, war horses are all good-bred horses.
This is definitely an army burned with money.
Just what the soldiers usually eat, there is meat for every meal.
Not only that, this year's training was very strict, and a team that has really been on the battlefield, so I really have some capital to pull out and fight.
Hong Chengchou wanted to settle the Kalaqin tribe in this battle.
Therefore, Hong Chengchou's Range Rover Army adopted the tactic of driving straight into the road, and was running lightning all the way.
Zhangjiakou is about 400 miles away from Yuanshang Capital. In five days, Hong Chengchou arrived near Yuanshang Capital.
On that day, Wandanweizheng dispatched a 5,000 troops and rushed out of the city to fight with the Eight Banners. Unexpectedly, he was defeated in an hour.
The morale in Yuanshang Capital was extremely sluggish.
At this moment, a spy came to report: "Mr. Beile, I discovered a Ming army ten miles away, with a size of about 10,000 people."
Dorgon was slightly stunned, obviously surprised: "Ming Army?"
"Yes, the Ming army is attacking here."
Dorgon laughed, and he looked at Yue Tuo next to him and said, "The Ming army is really here to join in the fun. How about Yue Tuo, you lead 2,000 people to destroy the Ming army?"
"Yeah!"
Shu Budi hurriedly said, "Why use a knives to kill chickens? Master Beile, please give me a chance. I will take all the heads of the Ming army back to you!"
"Okay! Taiji bravely, go and prove your loyalty to Khan!"
"Yeah!"
Shu Budi took Gurusiqibu and immediately left the camp. He said, "You can quickly take 10,000 troops to snipe the Ming army, kill them all, and use the Ming army's head to express your loyalty to Huang Taiji. You must not make any mistakes in this matter."
Guruschi preached: "Don't worry Abu!"
Shu Budi said to Seren again: "You go too, there must be no problem!"
"Don't worry, the Ming army is not worth worrying about."
Shu Bu was also happy inside. He lost face in front of Dorgon. Now he lacked confidence and was able to make contributions to this Ming army.
Chongzhen thought so too.
When Guruschibu and Selangor rushed over happily with ten thousand people, they were far apart and heard the sound of the Ming army's iron hooves shook the sky and the earth.
