Northeast of the imperial capital, Shunyi.

The scorching sun can almost roast people into jerky, Geng Zhongming was sweating profusely, but his heart was like falling into an ice cellar, and it was extremely cold, just two hours ago, he encountered the biggest crisis in his life.

In the early hours of last night, he was ordered to lead 2,000 cavalry to sneak along the Chaobai River and pull out the dense clouds at great speed, but in the past few days, he has been running non-stop for thousands of miles, whether it is soldiers and horses or the people and animals plundered, they have reached the physiological limit, and they can only stagger and slow down even if they are scolded and whipped, until the three poles on the sun are still several miles away from Shunyi.

The sun is getting hotter, there is a large forest on the riverbank in front, Geng Zhongming was hesitating whether to rest for a while, but Tanma sent an urgent report, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses poured out of Shunyi City......

Fart, where did the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses come from in Shunyi, Geng Zhongming was about to scold, and the west side of the horse came to report that he also found that tens of thousands of Ming troops were coming together.

The angry Geng Zhongming almost cut down the spies, hell in broad daylight, let alone Shunyi, at this time there were still a few soldiers in Daming, and only a few in Gyeonggi......

However, after knowing that his own soldiers went to investigate, Geng Zhongming was shocked, he was really surrounded, and there were really tens of thousands of Ming troops sharpening their knives five miles away!

How is this possible! When he informed the injured Kong Youde and Ao Bai of the news, the two of them also looked incredulous!

However, the reality is cruel!

Geng Zhongming immediately ordered someone to report to Dolgon in the rear, with his IQ, he also understood that he had fallen into the trap of the Ming army, and now he could only wait patiently for the rear commander and the little eunuch to break their wrists.

Otherwise, he could only fight his way out of the encirclement with 2,000 cavalry, but he didn't dare to think about it now, and he didn't dare to do it, unless the talks collapsed later, he would try, but he also knew that the disparity between the forces of the two sides was too great, and the chance of killing out was almost zero, and the hostages and wounded soldiers he carried didn't even think about escaping, it was almost equivalent to the annihilation of the entire army.

The cost of breaking through is too great!

Waiting is a very painful thing, especially a matter of life and death, especially on this hot day, Geng Zhongming sighed in a low voice with Kong Youde and Ao Bai in the shade of the tree, and the soldiers were panicked, on the contrary, those hostages who had long been exhausted were dying, but they showed joy.

The soldiers of the court have come to our rescue.

Compared with the restless Geng Zhongming, the Ming army in Shunyi City seemed to be at ease, and even leisurely, the generals Niu Yong and Zhang Jie, as well as Fan Jiaqian, Li Tiezhu and others of the Gongzi Battalion were quite interested, not to mention how excited they were to see the Qing army rushing into the encirclement as Chang Yu expected, and it was not in vain the hard work of breaking his leg in the past few days.

You must know that a few days ago, Chang Yu planned a big game of chess with Li Yan, and the key one was the tens of thousands of foot soldiers who were resting and training in Tianjin.

The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, and no one can guarantee whether the Qing army will abide by the peace agreement or even come up with other ghost ideas after jumping out of the encirclement after passing Tianjin.

So a military order was ordered, and the Gongzi battalion led tens of thousands of foot soldiers to march to Shunyi at great speed to stand by, and if the traces of the Qing army were found, they would immediately intercept and surround them.

The stakes are important and urgent, Niu Yong and Zhang Jie did not dare to slack off, and immediately pulled out the camp overnight, and really ran these hundreds of miles on two legs, and arrived at the Shunyi location one step ahead of the Qing army, as for the Ming army camp that Dolgon saw when he passed through Tianjin, it was just a big drama played by Xiang Minxin with the people of Tianjin Wei, Zhuge Liang's empty city plan, and he played a city full plan, the purpose was to confuse the Qing army and let Dolgon live.

As expected, Dolgon came out and was slapped in the face, which hurt.

"It seems that the rumors are true, that eunuch is really a genius who uses soldiers to enter the gods" Just when Geng Zhongming was surrounded by the Ming army, there were two people at the head of Shunyi City who were looking outside the city and whispering, speaking was Wang Yongji, the governor of Jiliao, and next to him was Yang Yi, the governor of Shuntian.

It's ridiculous to say, when Chang Yu supervised the army to chase the Qing army south to Xianghe, the two of them asked for a war from Shunyi not far from a hundred miles, but finally stayed in Tianjin, thinking of sharpening the knife Huo Huo and waiting for the Qing army to return to the north to show his hands to earn some military merits, but he waited for a military order for more than half a month, from where to go back and forth, and ran back to Shunyi.

That is to say, if you haven't done it for more than half a month, you will go to Tianjin for a walk.

This made the two of them a little lost and bored, and along the way, they muttered a lot about whether the little eunuch was playing tricks on them, secretly inquired about the news from Niu Yong, and learned that there would be an ambush in Shunyi, and the two also wondered why they didn't stop in Tianjin but in Shunyi.

In fact, until now, the two of them don't know why, but last evening the little eunuch sent someone to explain that the Japanese Tartars are very likely to cross the border, intercept them, and if they move troops to surround and kill!

"His people are called the god of war in both the government and the opposition, how can he be a general, but it's a pity that this battle, although we have the heart to participate in the war, but we haven't done our best, regret, regret!" Yang Yi shook his head and sighed.

"As long as you have a heart, you can always make it stronger" Wang Yongji raised his hand and pointed to the south: "The Tartars were surrounded here, but the two armies did not fight, it can be seen that Dolgon must be wrestling with the eunuch, and when he arrives, we may be able to help with advice."

Yang He snorted, you and I have no power to kill the enemy, and we can only make suggestions.

Geng Zhongming's torment lasted until the evening, and finally the news from the rear was that Dolgon ordered him to leave all the livestock, grain, grass, and even the soldiers' gold, silver, and money, and then rest and wait for the army.

It's over, it's been caught! Geng Zhongming shook his head with a wry smile, looked at Kong Youde with a sigh, but saw that his expression was indifferent, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Kong is not surprised at all."

Kong Youde exhaled and looked up into the distance: "From the defeat of Ning Yuan to the time of entering the customs to today, we have laughed with the little eunuch for more than ten battles, and there has been a real advantage."

Geng Zhongming frowned, and was about to speak, when Ao Bai next to him sneered: "That Ming dog has never really taken advantage of anything!" ”

Moreover, Kong Youde rolled his eyes: "At this time, you and I are lying here at a cheap price!" ”

Ao Bai snorted and stopped talking, Geng Zhongming nodded: "That little eunuch is insidious and cunning, and he has the advantage everywhere, except for the battle of Xianghe, we are almost at a disadvantage."

"So, what's so strange about today's events, Kong Youde spread his hands and mocked, he knew that the dog eunuch was very cunning, how could he not count that the regent was going to play tricks! It's okay now, originally I only needed to keep the things I robbed, but now I'm just afraid that hehe, if you don't cut off the meat, how can the little eunuch be easy."

Geng Zhongming let out a long sigh: "Actually, the regent doesn't know what the dog eunuch can calculate, he just deliberately avoids it and is just lucky, he just wants to gamble, and if he wins, he will make a lot of money!" He needs a win so badly."

"But now he's lost!" Kong Youde snorted and looked at Aobai: "You and your master are happy now."

Ao Bai pursed his lips and turned his head to the side.
