Although I couldn't believe it, Duoduo decided to turn around immediately and kill to Sanhe. Compared with Jizhou, the Ming prince is more important, not only because the Ming prince is the crown prince of the Ming country, but also because the Ming prince is the commander of the Ming army now, and the humiliation of defeat last year. Duoduo wanted to defeat the Ming prince than anyone else. In addition, the Jizhou general Tong Hanbang had fled back to Jizhou, and the possibility of attacking Jizhou was reduced. Therefore, Duoduo did not think that he turned around and killed Sanhe was against Huang Taiji's order.

However, Duoduo had doubts in his heart, that is, would the extremely cunning Prince Ming really be surrounded by Haoge in Sanhe City?

This suspicion continued to the Haoge account. When Haoge told him in detail the whole story and made full confidence that Prince Ming must be in Sanhe City, his suspicion not only did not decrease, but increased. The Prince Ming was definitely not so easy to deal with, and it was even more impossible to wander outside Sanhe City in order to protect the people of Sanhe, so he was blocked into Sanhe City by Haoge's troops.

There must be a problem here.

Therefore, Duoduo is 80% sure, and what Haoge sees is an illusion that Prince Ming should not be in Sanhe City.

But then again, Duoduo did not dare to deny Haoge's judgment 100%. If something unexpected happened, Prince Ming was really in Sanhe City, it would be a shocking colander. If this colander was finally grabbed by Haoge, then Haoge's status and influence would be unquestionable, and the three brothers would never have a chance to stand out.

Therefore, Duoduo deliberately angered Haoge, allowing Haoge to take everything. In this way, no matter whether it disobeys Huang Taiji's order or the losses of siege, he Duoduo has no losses. But if the Prince of Ming was really in Sanhe City, then this shocking contribution would be indispensable to him Duoduo.

Siege is actually a kind of temptation. If the Ming army is in full swing to rescue Sanhe, it will prove that the Ming prince is indeed in Sanhe City; on the contrary, if only Bai Guangen's troops were more than ten miles away, and the other soldiers of the Ming Dynasty remained unmoved and continued to watch, then everything in Sanhe City would be an illusion...

Thinking of Prince Ming, the failure and humiliation of last year, it suddenly surged into his heart. Duoduo raised his neck and drank the wine in his glass in one go, and said coldly: "Prince Ming, no matter whether you are in Sanhe or not, as long as you meet me, you will definitely make you look good!"

...

In the evening, Duoduo heard the noise coming from the Haoge camp and immediately received news that the Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner under Haoge had been dispatched to the surrounding areas to search for the people of Ming. He knew that it must be He Luo's plan, and wanted to capture cannon fodder and drive away the people of Ming to attack the city. Duoduo ignored him, drank perfect wine, and fell asleep.

In the early morning, Duoduo summoned all the generals in the tent, and ordered Gushan Ezhen Yierdai and Gushan Ezhen Engetu to lead an army and encircle left and right, preparing to give Bai Guangen a assault - the young soldiers of Haoge, who besieged Sanhe as the first. Therefore, he tolerated Bai Guangen, who was more than ten miles away, but Duoduo could not tolerate it. At the same time, it was also a temptation. He wanted to judge whether the Prince of Ming was in Sanhe City from Bai Guangen's real reaction.

As for the other soldiers, under his personal leadership, he attacked the city with Haoge's soldiers.

After sending the order, with a little preparation, Duoduo put on armor under the service of the slaves. Just as he was about to leave the tent and get on the horse's horse's horse's hooves, he suddenly heard the sound of horse's hooves outside the tent. Then, a white-armored soldier with dust ran in panting, holding the letter in both hands, and kneeling on one knee: "Fifteenth Master, my master's letter!"

When Duoduo saw that it was a confidant Baijia soldier under his elder brother Dorgon, he knew that there must be an emergency, so he hurriedly took it and tear it apart.

It turned out that the news that Haoge surrounded the Ming prince in Sanhe City had already reached Dorgon's ears yesterday dusk. This time, Jianlu army entered the front line, Duoduo led the side troops, Haoge was the vanguard, Huang Taiji and Dorgon led the central army, but due to physical reasons, Huang Taiji was actually at the end, and Dorgon was the one who actually led the central army.

Unlike Duoduo's hesitation, Dorgon immediately made a judgment after receiving the news. He also expected that his younger brother Duoduo would definitely stay at Sanhe City and compete for the merits with Haoge, so he hurriedly wrote this secret letter, asking his confidant Baijia soldiers to deliver it to Duoduo regardless of day and night.

Dorgon's secret letter has two key points. First, the matter between the Prince of Ming in Sanhe was probably the Prince of Ming's delayed military trick. In order to continue the speed of the Qing Dynasty's southward movement, Duoduo, you must not fall into the trap. Instead, you must follow Huang Taiji's initial order. After entering the barrier, lead the army to quickly move south and seize the canal ferry, without giving the Ming army time and opportunity to react!

However, this does not mean that it cannot help Haoge. Dorgon means that it is enough to leave the infantry to Haoge. If Haoge attacks or not, how to attack has nothing to do with their brothers.

Second, if Haoge's intelligence is true, the Ming prince is really in Sanhe City, and Haoge finally broke the city and captured the Ming prince, Duoduo's attitude of resolutely implementing military orders and considering the overall situation is enough to make their brothers invincible.

Finally, Dorgon once again told his younger brother in the letter that Prince Ming must be cunning and be cautious and not careless.

After reading his brother's letter, Duoduo immediately realized that he thought he was smart, but after thinking about it, he was far from his master's plan. He was a little ashamed. He hurriedly turned to the white armored soldiers beside him and said, "I sent an order to order the Han army to inlaid the red flag Gushan Ezhen Shi Tingzhu and his troops to stay in Sanhe City to help Zhenglan Banner attack the city. The cavalry of Ying'erdai and Engetu were on standby, and wait for the elite troops of our central army to complete the camp and then fight to the capital of the Ming Kingdom together!"

"Yeah!"

After Duoduo ordered, the army of partial divisions led by him immediately took action. About 6,000 Han army flags were left, while more than 10,000 remaining Mongolian flag cavalry and Baoyi slaves stepped on their war horses and rushed towards the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

When he heard Duoduo suddenly led his troops away, Haoge was angry and anxious. He didn't understand. He said it well yesterday evening, why did he suddenly change his mind this morning? And there was no explanation.

"Duoduo! You are a villain who is untrustworthy, I must tell my emperor Ahma about this. Wait, one day, I want you to look good!" Duoduo was furious in the tent. Although Duoduo left six thousand Han military flags, he took away all the inlaid white flags and Mongolian flags. The siege troops suddenly changed from 30,000 to more than 10,000. If the Sanhe City Defense was strong enough and the defenders were tenacious enough, they would definitely not be able to conquer them.

However, this does not mean that Haoge wants to give up the plan to siege. When He Luo clasped his fists and asked whether he wanted to siege the city as planned, Haoge walked a few steps and said gritting his teeth: "You can't wait any longer. Ask the dog slave Shi Tingzhu to come over and try every means to take down Sanhe City before the arrival of the Emperor Ama army!"

"Yeah!"

...

Capital.

After receiving the news that Duoduo's army came to the capital, Zhu Cixuan did not return to the capital, but went straight to Tongzhou along the official road.

On the official road, people fleeing are still in a row. Zhu Cilang was worried. Although the martial law order and retreat order have been issued for three days, and the court has also strongly urged officials from all over the country, judging from the current situation, many people have not yet been able to escape to a safe place, not only because of helping the elderly and the young, but also because of inconvenience of transportation and transportation. Once the enemy is killed, what should we do?

The official road from the capital to Tongzhou was not far from Tonghui River. During this period, Zhu Cixuan stopped several times to check the water conditions of Tonghui River and the defense of the defenders.

It seems that the water level of Tonghui River has increased a lot. In the past, the shallowest place is less than one person high and it is difficult to sail. Now, one person has become high. Of course, this is all due to the closure of Tianjin's gate. The only regret is that after the gate is closed, the river water almost does not flow, and there is no turbulence of the big river, which is not conducive to defense.

On the banks of the river, the soldiers of Jingwu Camp were working with the civilians to build chest walls, plant deer antlers, and set up various obstacles to landing. Although the water level of the canal has risen and it is difficult for the construction of the enemy to cross the river without ships, the vigilance required is also indispensable. Therefore, obstacles must be set up on the banks of the river just in case. Every 500 steps, there is a Ming army camp tent with fifty Ming soldiers patrolling the river. At the same time, there is a high observation tower, which is day and night, looking at the opposite bank of the canal, but if there is an enemy situation, please inform us immediately.

Every 1,500 steps, there is a large camp with 500 troops stationed in it, thinking that it will support the surrounding area.

Zhu Cilang looked at it and was worried: After the on-site visit, he found that the problem of insufficient troops seemed to be more serious than he thought.

Now Yang Wenyue's Baoding soldiers, canal soldiers, two combat barracks, plus the four thousand corps led by Liu Yaoren, the deputy general of the Jingwu camp, the Ming Dynasty had nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses west of the canal, with an average of more than 300 miles per mile, which seemed to be a hundred people, but in fact it was far from enough, especially Tonghui River, where the water level here was low and it was very easy to be attacked by Jianlu...

When the prince appeared, the officials and generals at the scene hurriedly greeted him. Zhu Cixuan asked briefly, and went to the river bank in person to check the antlers and various obstacles and facilities, encouraged everyone, and then continued to move forward.

It was almost dusk, Zhu Cilang came to Bali Bridge.

The real name of Bali Bridge is "Yongtong Bridge". Because it is located on the Tonghui River, about eight miles away from Tongzhou, people are commonly known as "Bali Bridge". In history, the most famous thing about Bali Bridge is the Battle of Bali Bridge that broke out here. It was the Second Opium War. The British and French Allied Forces landed in Tianjin and came to the capital. Senggelinqin led a Mongolian horse team of 7,000 and more than 10,000 infantry guarding Bali Bridge and launched a bloody battle with the British and French Allied Forces. The seven thousand Mongolian horse team braved artillery fire and launched a fierce rush towards the British and French Allied Forces, and was blocked by dense firepower from the British and French infantry fighting in trenches and bombarded by enemy artillery shrapnel. In the end, it was almost wiped out.

The Mongolian horse team is brave, but there is nothing we can do in front of the sharp firearms.

This battle was the first time in Chinese history that elite cavalry were completely defeated by infantry. There were only a few hundred survivors of seven thousand Mongolian horses, while only twelve British and French infantry casualties. Since then, the Eight Banners and Mongolian cavalry, which the Qing Dynasty relied most, were in a slump. It was difficult to achieve anything in the face of sharp muskets. The Han Green Forest Army gradually became the main force of the Qing Dynasty. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the rise of the Hunan Army completely squeezed the Eight Banners and Mongolian soldiers out of the historical stage. Since then, the Qing Dynasty has been able to continue to rule China, no longer the Eight Banners and Mongolian cavalry, but the Han Green Forest Army holding muskets.

In a sense, the Battle of Baliqiao was a turning point. Without the Battle of Baliqiao, the Eight Banners and Mongolian cavalry would not have withdrawn from the historical stage so quickly.

When reading history in his previous life, Zhu Cilang was very impressed by the Battle of Bali Bridge. After traveling through time, he went to Tongzhou several times. When he passed by Bali Bridge, he would stop and meditate on the battle three hundred years later. He thought about whether the Ming army could also learn and copy the tactics of the British and French coalition forces at Bali Bridge before these three hundred years.

Now Jianlu enters the barrier, and the Bali Bridge is the only way for Jianlu to attack the capital from the east. Although the past few times he entered the barrier, Jianlu passed around the capital and went south to plunder and did not pass the Bali Bridge directly. The capital was not dangerous, but this time it was different. When the canal water surged and the Ming Dynasty defended closely along the canal and it was difficult to cross the river, the Jianlu army would not be able to move and would kill the capital, and the Bali Bridge would be the focus of their attack.

For the safety of Bali Bridge, Tongzhou and the entire Tonghui River, Zhu Cixuan arranged Yang Xuan's military camp here.

When Zhu Cilang arrived at Bali Bridge, he saw the bastion standing on the bridgehead and the Ming army flag floating on the fort wall. Compared with the bastion on the side of Sanhe City and Tongzhou City, the bastion in front of Bali Bridge is small and can only be stationed for 500 troops. However, because the stone bridge deck is narrow and inconvenient to pass, it blocks in front of the stone bridge, with trenches in front, two floors above and below, equipped with a large number of artillery. All muzzles aimed at the bridge deck, which has absolute dominance over the stone bridge. If the guards want to pass, they must pay the price of corpses and blood.

Around the bastion, with the bastion as the core, the Ming army dug the trench and established a circle of outer defense lines, without cannons, only bird gun soldiers and grenades, so as not to fall into the enemy's hands, but the trench could not be held and they could immediately retreat into the bastion.

Zhu Cilang is still quite confident about the bastion tactics. Although he has not yet experienced actual combat in this life, history has proved the effectiveness of bastions. This year, in order to deal with Jianlu's entry into the border, the Ming Dynasty spent a lot of money to build a total of 16 bastions of large and small in the second line of defense in the capital. A small part of them guarded the river surface, and most of them were built on the key points of city defense. The ones stationed in these bastions were Jingwu Camps with excellent firearms. Zhu Cilang believed that they would definitely make Jianlu pay the price.

At first, a court official proposed that if Jianlu entered the barrier, it would blow up four stone bridges that were difficult to demolish on the canal, but Zhu Cilang denied that, first, the power of explosives in this era was limited, and the stone bridges were made of stone strips. The construction time of each stone bridge was at least a few years or more than a dozen years, and it was by no means possible that the explosives could be blown up today. Secondly, humans had the mentality of taking chances, leaving the stone bridge, which was equivalent to leaving a way for Jianlu. Faced with the insurmountable river water, Jianlu would definitely try to walk on the stone bridge, and the narrow stone bridge would become their cemetery.
